The tremendous Increase in the number of confectionery simps, the vast displays of sweet stuff which everywhere stagger the eye, mean that candy eating hns become one of onr chief national Industries, Arthur H. Pol well writes In Leslie’s. “Have you laid In your winter's supply of randy?" will soon be ns common a question as, “Have you laid In your winter’s coal?" Candy by the ton must soon tie, If it Is not already, the rule, and we shall have randy bins In our cellars t>> which chocolates and bonbons will merrily slide down Iron Chutes from the rnndy trucks. "Send ns three ton of egg and nut mixed,” will he an ordinary telephone order to n confectioner. Inevitably, too, we shall read of rank extortion practiced upon the poor, who have to buy their candy by the pall. NOTICE TO NON-RESIDENT DEFENDANT ED. F.

NATION IS TO_BE REPAID Would Place at Disposal of Settler* What May Become Most Fertile Soil in the Country—320,000 Thrive On Irrigated Lands. Washington.—New legislation la be- ! tng prepared by committees of congress for opening up to mankind the arid lands of the West. Nearly 200,000,000 acres remain un improved In the reclamation group of states—more than all the productive lands of Germany and the United j Kingdom combined. This Improve- j went would accommodate many mil lions more people and add billions to the aggregate wealth If ri-clarnatlon were attended by a success comtnen- I surate with that which has followed the work hitherto done, 20 Years' Irrigation Work. The results of twenty years of Irri gation may be summarized thus: Gross cos:, $135.000,000; net eosL $127,000,000; estimated area, on com pletion of all projects, 3,212,002 acres; Irrigable acreage, 1,732.374 acres; Irrigated acreage In 1918, 1,141,510 acres; cropped acreage In 1918, 1,051, 193 acres; crop value of Irrigated land yield for 1918. $06,000,000; value average yield per acre, $811.06; average cost per acre, on basis of total area { when completed, $42; average cost per acre on basis of nrea to which service I was ready to supply water during the j season of 1918, $70; average cost per ! acre on basis of actual area cropped In 1918, $129. Authorities on the results of Irri gation agree that the Investment or advance by the government of funds In the nature of loans has been pro ductive of great wealth. "At the present time,” according to Director Arthur P. Dnvts of the re clamation service, "the net Invest ment of the reclamation fund Is ap proximately $120,000,000. With that has been constructed nbout twenty five projects which are now In vari ous stages of completion, several hav- | Ing been completed, and we have pre- j pared the Irrigation works necessary | to serve about 1,075,000 acres of land. I That was Ihe amount at the end of last year. Sell Water Rights. “In addition to that, under one of the subsequent acts the service has j sold partial water rights from reser voirs constructed by It to canal com panies, Irrigation districts and others, which had been previously construct ed and for which the water supply was Inadequate in the latter part of the Season, “The acreage served by partial water rights from the government In connection with private projects Is a little over 1,000,000 acres, so that we haw* approximately 2,700,000 acres served In whole or In part by the government, with the expenditure that 1 have mentioned. ‘The population upon the projects ! which arc entirely government pro jects Is approximately 120,000 people —agricultural population on the farms —and the Increase In population of the towns and the new towns alto gether account for about 200,000 peo ple additional, making something like 320,000 people that have been afforded homes as a result of this work. "On the government projects there have been established 500 schools, 470 churches, and 216 banks. These hanks have h capital of $612,000,000 and de posits of $113,000,000, There are, al together, over 200,000 depositors. The deposits In relation to the population are much greater on the reclamation projects than In the country at large. "In the year 1919, which was the peak of prices, the returns from the reclamation projects proper—gross re turns of vegetable products—were about $79,000,000. •The Salt Itlver valley In Arizona Illustrates well ihe results of Irriga tion development, based on the federal work. The Salt river project Is In Maricopa County, surrounding the ettv of Phoenix, capital of Arizona. Ac cording to the census data and other reliable statistics, about the time the reclamation act became law the population of Phoenix was approxi mately 5,000 and that of Maricopa county 89,000, while the taxable value of property In the county was $9,000,- | 001). Due to Irrigation. "In 1920, the population of Phoenix had reached 29,000, that of Maricopa county 80,000, while the taxable value of property In the county was close to $100,000,000, or more than ten times what It was when the reclamation act was passed. These results are at tributable mainly to Irrigation devel opment by the United Stntes. In na ture, that country was distinctly arid, with rainfall wholly Insufficient, for any cultivation. “The main staple product fixx* or ten years ago was alfalfa, coupled with dairying. Though there were many gardens and some fruits raised and other Industries and a good deal of grain, but the most Important staple was alfalfa and dairying. “A few years ago the success of long staple cotton was demonstrated for that region. That bringing very high prices large areas of alfalfa were ploughed up, the cattle were sold, and the people went extensively Into Ihe raising of long staple cotton. That was very profitable up to 1919 and was one of the principal reasons why tlie product that year wus so high. “In 1920 about 145,000 acres were planted to long staple cotton, but the mnrket failed and very little of that cotton has yet been marketed, al though It was picked six months ago. It has potential value, but leaves the people In rather atraltened clrcum- [ stances, because of the lack of1 market at the present time, and many. of them are going back to alfalfa and dairying. T!(C .difficulty Is to get ally they are getting hack into the more stable Industry. Almost any agricultural Industry down there la profitable.” Frank W. Robinson, a railroad official, reports improvements in Idaho which be thinks are typical of the whole irrigation section. Increase in Wealth. “In Latah county. In 1000,” he said, “the assessed value of property was *0,500,000; In 1010, $20,000,000. and In 1020, $34,000,000, 'fhe Increase In the wealth of Twin Falls county in the last ten-year period was about 200 per cent, wlnle In I.atnh county In the 70 per cent. TIip number of acres of Improved land and In farms only— hot including waste lands and lands not under cultivation—I41 the Twin Falls county section in 1010 was ap proximately 100,000 acres, and in 1020 100,000 acres, while In Latah county In 1000 there were 180,000 acres In farms; In 1010, 213,000 acres; and in 1020, 223,000 acres, indicating that In the last ten-year period 10,000 acres of this non-lrrlgated section had been placed under cultivation, while In the Twin Falls section 00,000 acres had lieen placed under cultivation. "In 1010 tlie total value of all crops rnlsed In the Twin Falls section on 100,000 acres was *28,501,602. while In Latah county, on 223,000 acres the total value of all crops was $13,525,000. I "These people who hnoe taken up I these irrigated lands are the most aggressive and best type of home maker and citizen In the United States, They spend their money for a large amount of manufactured tilings, j the comforts of home, and they afford j the best market per capita for manu- j factored Eastern goods. One lllus- j tration typical of that, and typical of | every irrigated section In the West that j Is developed, Is refleeted In figures of j the reelamatlon service on the Min! dako project. “In 1010 the vnlue of the crops Was $5,024,000. 'i’lie value of the manufar- | tured articles used on that project j was *7.130,000. In other words on that j project in 1910 they purchased more j than they produced." \V. 11. I!. Hudson, manager of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, estl- j mates that on the Slightly more ttinn 1,000,OOO acres of Irrigated lands re claimed a total yield valued at *00, 000,000 was obtained In 1018 and *00,. 000,000 In 1010. “The value of the average yield," he said, "was (13.00 per acre from crops alone for all the Irrigated land In 1018, ns compared with *20 an acre for the average of all the cultivated land of the nation In the year 1010.” Purpose of Legislation. The pyrpose of the proposed legis lation Is to authorize and direct the secretary of the treasury' to trans fer to the reclamation fund upon the request of the secretary of the Interior a total sum of *250,000,000 in the fol lowing manner: Hnrlng the fiscal year ending In 1022 not exceeding *20,000.000; 1023, $35,000,000; 1024. $45,000,000, and for each succeeding year for a period of three years not to exceed *50.000,000. The money Is to he used by the In terior department in reclaiming arid Rnd seml-nrld lands In western states. Reclaiming these lands includes the examination and survey of the lands, determining the character of the soli, the feasibility of placing water there on by means of dams, reservoirs, tun npls. eanals. dikes and such other means as scientific engineering may | determine as feasible and practicable. | At the end of five years, tinder the | bill a physical valuation of the prop- ! ert.v of the district shall he made and I If the taxable part Is found by compe- \ tent appraisers to he double the cost j of construction the district shall Issue its bonds and from the sale thereof the reclamation fund of the United States treasury shall he reimbursed to the amount of money expended on the projects, principal and Interest. The whole real and personal property of ttie district stands pledged to the payment of the bonds. They run not exceeding twenty-five years. As ttndpr the existing law, persons desiring to open an Irrigation project must he organized Into a district In conformity with the laws of the state or states in which the project In V'hole or In part Is situated. The total of *250,000,000 advanced to the reclamation fund Is to be re paid to the United States treasury from this fund beginning with the fis cal year 1042. — Bull SpolIe> Picnic.

History In a Nutshell. Some time after the school system was adopted by the navy a Filipino was directed to write an essay on George Washington. This, however, was the first contribution, and was as follows: “George Washington was sore be cause American persons was not free. He salle for England on my ship and sat to king: 'I express declarations of Indypendance for American per sons.’ King, he sa.t ’Nothin’ doin’ and Mr. Washington tell Admiral Dewle to shoot big guns at him. Blmeby King, he suy he will not run over American persons again. ‘Let George do It,’ he say, and today American persons ' she Is free.”—Great Lakes Bulletin. Mechanism of Glaciers. In tunneling through glaciers during the Alpine operations of the war, op portunity was offered for observa tions of Inner structure and move ments. In shallow cuttings, character istics only to he expected at much greater depths were found. The al ternation of lighter and denser layers cannot here be caused by pressure, but must be u primary, sedimentary formation. Interior crevasses often ended in u plant* of stratification, thus pointing to the Importance of such i planes In the glacier mechanism. CARELESS HANDLING CONTAMINATES FOOD Dangerous Micro-organisms Are Found Everywhere. Guard Against Enemies of Human Race by Protecting Food From Dirt, Filth and Flies and Keep It in Clean Place. Dangerous micro-organisms, known as "germs," as well as those which cause food to spoil, are often to lie found in food which has been carelessly han dled. Typhoid and scarlet fevers, tuberculosis, colds, influenza, diph theria, and other diseases may be curried by food. Most so-called food poisoning is due to harmful micro organisms carried into the body by food which tins been contaminated either by accident or carelessness. These organisms are to he found everywhere, but especially In dust, dirt and tilth. They are often carried by flies, vermin and household pests. They may also get into food from un washed hands or from dishes which may appear clean but are not. To guard against these microscopic enemies of the human race, protect the food from dirt, filth and flies by keeping It In clean places and In clean receptacles, say Department of Agriculture specialists. Insist that every person who handles food or dishes washes the hands before be ginning work, scalds all the dishes, dries them with towels washed out In boiling water, or drains them dry. Care should be taken to cover the month and nose in sneezing and coughing, particularly when near food. MAKE CLOTHES LAST LONGER Garments Soon Become Shabby If Not Given Good Care—Airing and Washing la Urged. Garments even of the best quality, design and workmanship will goon be come shabby through lack of care. On the other hand, those that may have cost only half as much may be kept trim and fresh for a consider able length of time through painstak ing care. Cotton and linen garments, es pecially those that touch the skin or are worn in hot wealher, should he carefully aired arid frequently washed, heenuse they absorb oil and perspira tion from the body. If dresses, waists and other outer garments are care fully placed on hangers as they are being aired, many wrinkles will dis appear. Sponging and pressing will In many cases freshen cotton and woolen fabrics, but too frequent pressing of partly soiled white washable garments will tend to yellow them and colored ones may be permanently discolored In this way. PIN MONEY FOR FARM WOMEN Eggs, Poultry and Butter Furnish Means of Earning Tidy Sum All the Year Round. Butter and eggs furnish many farm women with most of the money they spend on themselves and their children. The amount of butter a woman sells depends pretty much on the number of cows her husband Is willing or able j to keep. The number of chickens, j however. Is usually determined by her skill and by the amount of time she can devote to caring for them. The women who belong to clubs organized by the Department of Agrl- j culture and the state colleges are j taught the best and most up-to-date j methods of caring for poultry. The members are also helped In organizing egg and poultry circles which enable ; them to obtain better prices for thetr J product.
