Governor Savage and State1 Engineer Dobson returned today from the Interstate Irrigation congreea, which met Wednesdsy and Thuiaday In Sterling, Colo.- Both were gratified at the enthusiasm displayed at the meeting and especially at the In terest shown by the Nebraska delegates, wbo formed a large part of the congreas. Three states were represented, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. Upwards of thirty delegates were present from Nebraska. I 'We adopted resolutions similar to those adopted at the recent meeting with the Omaha Commercial club," said Mr. Dobson. "They favor tha making ot an appropriation in the river and harbor bill tor the construction, of Irrigation reser voirs In tbe arid and aeml-arid regions and the repeal ot tbe desert land act, the commutation act and the stock reservoir act. It was also recommended that an an nual appropriation of $250,000 be made for Investigations by the United States geo logical survey. Heretofore the appropria tion for thla work has been $100,000 an nually. We alao asked for aa appropria tion of $75,000 for Irrigation investigations to be conducted under the direction of the Department of Agriculture. Congress made a small appropriation for thla work last year, amounting, I think, to $30,000. Some of the Investigations were conducted In this state by O. V. P. Stout of the university. The irrigation congress thought the work ahould be enlarged. 'Nothing waa aaid In the meeting about the compromlae Irrigation bill. Tbe Colo rado delegates did not favor any national appropriation. They thought that private capital would carry out- all practical Irri gation achemes In their atate. "Tbe attendance . at the meeting .was much larger , than we expected.. Our ses sions were held ia the courthouse - and the room at all times waa filled to ita ca pacity. 'The Nebraska delegates eut aa important figure at the meeting and the people out there were surprised to eee ao many of ua in attendance. There were ton men there from North Platte." Good Crap of Wlater Wheat. Director Loveland of tha United States weather station aaya tha reporta he1 baa received during the past few weeks indi cate that the crop of winter wheat bow In the ground la In an unusually good condition. 'My advices are contrary to the reports printed in aome newspapers that wheat suffered greatly In the last prolonged cold period," said he. "For the purpose ot ascertaining the condition of' the growing plant I asked our correspondents in various parts of the state to take up ptecea of the ground containing wheat and put them under shelter. The result waa that In nearly every Instance the plant began to grow rapidly, abowlng that scarcely no dam age had been sustained. - 'The winter wheat fields were generally well covered with snow during tha first twenty daya of the month." continued Mr. Loveland. "The snow melted slowly during tba last ten days and the ground la now practically tree from snow in all sections. No conditions unfavorable for wheat de veloped during the month aad ' tha crop continues generally In good condition. Some alight damage waa done by the dry weather early In the season and on high land, where the anow waa blown off. But thla applies to only a small part of the acreage." Questioned regarding the effect of . the change in the weather which took place today, Mr. Loveland said: "Such flurries as these will not damage wheat unless ac companied by aleet At thla season of the year we are bouad to have freezing and thawing alternately, but unleaa the weather is extremely cold no damage will reault A slight freese, even If the ground la moist, will do no harm. So far as I can tell from the present Indications, there la no pros-, pact of a sleet storm." New IaeerBOratleaa.

Not only must he brave, the elements as ha finds them, but he must wear hla uniform. No shirtwaist for the policemen. No fur overcoat for the man who patrols our atreets night and day. No wonder auch men appreciate Peruna. Peruna strengthens the mucuous mem branes that line the respiratory-organs. Peruna hardens tbe system against catch ing cold. This is absolutely essential to good health, especially where one's voca tion exposes one to dampness of night air and the throbbing heat of mid-day.

Chronio catarrh often makes Its ap proach in disguise. Before a person knows It, .he. may become a victim of chronic catarrh. Its onaet may be gradual, its development lnsldioua, and at last 'the victim finds himself ia tbe clutches ot a tenacious disease. A slight cold, a' ten dency to sneese, a pufflnesa in tbe nose and head, fullness or crackling In tha - eara, stringy mucuous in tha throat, alight cough or wheexlness, snoring during sleep.' Any one of these symptoms should ba regarded as a warning. ......
