MAKE OLD FARMS NEW
Soil Reclamation Urged at Na
tional Irrigation Congress.
$10,000,000 YEARLY ASKED
Conference Completes Work, Officers
Elected and Pueblo, Colorado, Chosen
for Meeting Place Next Year.
Spokane, Wash.—That though a
man owns his farm he is still only an
agent under obligations to conserve
his soil, was the doctrine promulgat
ed at the National irrigation congress
by L. H. Bailey, director of the New
York College of Agriculture, when he
spoke on “The Farm Community.”
He said it is not true that a young
man must “go west’’ to take up anew
farm. He declared that if he takes
up the old farm he is under obliga
tion to make anew farm of it. He
said that after all lands have been
improved by private enterprise there
will still remain many thousands of
acres awaiting reclamation at the
hands of the people at large.
“There should be a national irri
gation movement,” said he, “but it is
not necessary to develop all of our
resources now. it is well that we
have plenty of resources to take up
within the future.”
John Farson, Chicago millionaire
and clubman, took up the cudgels in
defense of Secretary Ballinger of the
interior department. Mr. Farson
strongly attacked the statements of
former Governor George A. Pardee of
California, concerning the secretary’s
activity in public land withdrawals.
Dr. Pardee started the controversy
by questioning a statement by a
speaker. He again accused Secretary
Ballinger of permitting the opening
for entry of valuable water power
sites.
This brought Mr. Farson to his
feet, asking Dr. Pardee if he meant
to insinuate that the secretary was
dishonest. With Dr. Pardee’s reply
that he meant no such accusation the
incident was dropped.
An annual appropriation of $10,000,-
000 for a period of five years to aid
in irrigation work is asked from con
gress in resolutions adopted by the
Irrigation Congress. This is perhaps
the most important recommendation
in the resolutions adopted. Among the
other resolutions made were the fol
lowing:
That homesteaders, under a govern
ment. project, shall not be required to
establish a residence before the gov
ernment is prepared to furnish them
with water.
That the government take measures
to drain swamp lands in aid of land
reclamation and of public health.
That the irrigation congress aid
with other conservation organizations
to bring about waterway improve
ments, reforestation and other like
projects.
The reclamation act to be extended
to Hawaii.
That the states pass laws regulat
ing cutting of public and private tim
ber.
That the Mississippi deep waterway
be developed.
The following officers, in addition to
B. A. Fowler of Phoenix, Ariz., presi
dent, and Arthur Hooker of Spokane,
secretary, were chosen.
Vice President —Ralph Twitchell of
New Mexico.
Second Vice President —S. W.
Young of Utah.
Third Vice President—L. Newman
of Montana.
Fourth Vice President —F. W. Flem
ming of New Mexico.
Fifth Vice President—E. J. Watson
of South Carolina.
Pueblo, Col., was chosen as the
next meeting place.
“STUPID TO BH UGLY.”
"Pretty Woman Succeeds in Busi
ness.” Says Telephone Official.
New York City.—“lt is stupid for a
woman to be ugly.
“Therefore the woman is un
desirable in the business world.
“Any woman is pretty who is bright,
healthy and neat.
“Therefore, it is the pretty woman
who succeeds in the business world.
These are the beliefs of the New
York Telephone Company expressed
through H. K. McCann, one of the de
partment heads.
“Naturally, in employing our opera
tors, we give the preference to the
pretty girls, because that is only an
other way of saying we prefer clever
girls,” explained Mr. McCann.
“There is no fixed standard of
beauty, so it is safe to say that to
the educated person any bright wom
an appears attractive.
“If any applicant is not neat in her
dress she will probably not be neat in
her mental processes. Her work will
be slovenly. This is of the class of
phvsical attributes that indicate a
woman’s intelligence.
POSTAL RECEIPrS INCREASE.

the Year Was 8.78.

of the largest cities, issued by the
postoffice department, shows an in
crease during the fiscal year of $084,-
SSB 43 The total receipts of the titty
cities during the year were $7,240,-
628.54. Only two in the list, Scranton,
Pa. and St. Louis, Mo., show a de
crease. The total per cent of increase

Woo Wen Mittens for Midsummer.
Addressing a gathering at East
bourne in connection with the British
Cross Society, Sir Frederiolt
Treves remarked that at the time of
the Boer war the Red Cross organ
ization might be said to have been
in a state of absolute chaos. He was
with the Ladysmith relief column and
his wagon was the twenty-first that
entered that town.
When he came to unpack the Red
Cross hampers, which were of all
sizes and shapes, the first was found
to be entirely filled with woollen mit
tens. The temperature at Ladysmith
was from 103 to 105 degrees in the
shade, and to open a box containing
nothing but woollen mittens was a
very deplorable thing. Moreover a
number of heavy boxes packed with
flannel shirts, pajamas and all sorts
of things that the soldiers would have
been delighted with were delivered at
his house in London some months af
ter the war wan over.—lxmdon Eve

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering—
In Despair: Cured by Cutieura.
“Words cannot describe the terrible ec
zema I suffered with. It broke out on my
head and kept spreading until it covered
my whole body. I was almost a sobd mass
of sores from head to foot. I look'd more
like a piece of raw beef than a human being.
The pain and agony I,.endured seemed more
than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed
from the great sore od my scalp, from un
der my finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crusted and swollen
I was afraid they would break off. Every
hair in my head fell out. I could not sit
down, for my clothes would stick to the
raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did all
he could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think I
could live, and wanted death to come and
end my frightful sufferings.
“In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cutieura Remedies.
I said I would, but had no hope of recov
ery. But oh, what blessed relief I experi
enced after applying Cutieura Ointment. It
cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and
brought me the first real sleep I had had in
weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burn
ing tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cutieura Soap, then apply the
Ointment freely. I also took Cutieura Re
solvent for the blood. In a short time the
sores stopped running, the flesh began to
heal, and I knew I was to get well again.
Then the hair on my head began to grow,
and in a short time I was completely cured.
I wish I could tell everybody who has ec
zema to use Cutieura. Mrs. \Vm. Hunt. 135

RIGHT SIDED TONGUE.
is the Tongue of the Talkative Man—
Person Who Can’t Keep a Secret.
I From the observations made by a
| physiognomist it appeal s tieat the
! tongue when quite still can be as
eloquent in giving its owner away as
| when it is wagging sixteen to the
dozen. This is a hard fact for a
! silent man to swallow —in silence.
His only remedy is to keep well so
as to obviate the necessary injunc
tion of the doctor to put his tongue
out, for by this thrust out sign the
doctor shall know him.
The tongue of the talker when ob
truded inclines to the right side of
the mouth, we are asked to believe,
j wffiereas the seldom used tongue gra
vitates to the left side. Orators,
preachers and barristers are endowed
with right sided tongues. Verbally
parsimonious persons have left sided
I tongues.
Furthermore, “t.ho tongue that
shoots out straight without turning
or wavering indicates a solid, re
liable man of affairs.” Tongues that
turn up indicate impractical natures.
A downward, drooping tongue be
longs to a person born in poverty and
a ready eye for the hopeless side of
things.
The cruel tongue flattens and
broadens when extended. The deli
cate speaking organ with curled up
edges is the property of an imagina
tive and artistic being. When the
tongue issues forth as if gripped in
a dental vise It signifies a love of
life more than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the in
dividual who thrusts forth his tongue
to its extremest verge is a person
to whom no secret should ever be
confided, for he is an irresponsible
chatterer—T-ondon Chronicle.
