Importance of ' e smaller springs
and stream", 1 1 lie arid I'ottmns of
the prvat Weot is u nouive of water
supply had bi.vn appreciated for
y'ara by the miner, the stockman,
and the homeseekcr. When springs
are a day's journey apart their
names become as well known to trav
elers H8 those of villages in the hum
id Eaut. Tl.rir locations are of'.en
pointed out by the converging tn.ils
worn in the 8'' 'na of the ground by
the hoofs tif h i anil caKle seek
ing water.
The cattle U. jstry of the West is
dependent tc h large degree upon the
existence and accessibility of stock
water. A staple pood prinp may
make It poisible for stock to graze
OT;r 25 or 50 square miles of ranee
In Its vicinity. But cattle will not
willingly go more than a few miles
'o water, and range which is far
torn water will consequently be left
ungrazed. The ownership of a spring
by a stockman, carrying with it the
right to exclude the cattle of others
from the water, may thus afford him
control of a township or more of
public grazing land.
This situation is well understood
by the large stock Interests and
many of the big cattle companies
have, by judicious selection and pur
chase of public lands controlling
springs, been able to possess and
monopolize large areas of range al
though they might actually own but
a small portion of it. Good springs,
because of the competition of rival
stock lntereste for their possession,
thus come to have great value and
the lands surrounding and controll
ing single springs have been sold for
hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
The acquisition of such lands in
this way went on for a number of
years without Interference, for the
effect of this monopolistic tendency
on the public range and consequent
ly on the meat supply of the coun
try was not appreciated by govern
ment ottuiuls. inning tie last few
.wars, however, a change lias taken
place and Serretaty Lane of tho In
terior liepartinent. through the in
st runicntality of the Geological Sur
vey, is now engaged In searching for
such sprint and watering places and
reserving them for the ownership of
the public. As an indication of the
progress being made. Secretary Lane
has recently pointed out that Presi
dent Wilson has withdrawn over sev
en hundred springs Which have been
reported valuable for this purpose.
A single order signed by tiini recent
ly withdrew over tifty springs in
i Arizona controlling the tine of seven
'thousand square miles of gracing
land. The entire area withdrawn
'from settlement is nevertheless very
M.iall, less than 30,000 acres.
Many of the withdrawals have
been requested by stockmen In order
that the custoniHry use of the springs
by all in common might not be dis
turbed as n result of the acquisition
of the immediately surrounding land
by ambitious individuals. The pol
icy has been emphatically endorsed
by grazers in many of the localities
Hlletted who realize that the asser
tion of government control insures
fairness to all users of the public
range.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
cvci receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing perioil when
nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all sucb children we say with
unmistakable earnestness : They need
Scott's Kmulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

The Record:
In the same article the Topeka Journal states that the
INCOMPLETE record of shipments for 1915 shows that
citizens of Topeka ordered and received during that year a
total of 160,169 quarts of various kind of liquors.

the present conditions In TojK-ka after S3 yearn of constant -IWt

The Actual Condition:
Prohibition fails to remove the opportunity
and the desire on the part of the people to
purchase and to use alcholic beverages. Denied
the opportunity to purchase from manufact
urers and dealers operating under license with
in the state, resort is had to express shipments
to bootleggers and to "alley joints."

So long as the desire to purchase and to use
exists, better results are achieved by REGU
