UNDERGROUND WATER WASTE. Subject Coming to Be of Great Interest in Many States Some of the states are waking up to the fact that their artesian wells are dwindling. A writer in Municipal Engineering goes into details to show that the waters under the earth are not so abundant as they formerly were, and as they should still be today. He dwells upon the district adjacent to Chicago. The first flowing artesian well in Chicago was drilled in 1864, according to his statement. He says that at the time the water rose eighty-five feet above the surface and 111 feet above the level of Lake Michigan. This well no longer flows. This is simply an example specified. Residents in the neighborhood are well aware of the shrinkage in volume of their subterranean water supply. In the olden days they were never afflicted with water shortage. This summer it has been one of the worst afflictions of their life. And what is the explanation? Waste. Waters have been permitted to flow away, serving no one and exhausting the vein. It is pointed out that in Indiana, for instance, there are hundreds of wells from which an immensely valuable flow is allowed to go to waste. While there are no figures at hand it is common knowledge that in Kentucky the same sort of waste is permitted to more or less degree. In some cases wells have been abandoned, and yet their precious fluid has not been checked. Squandered recklessly, the useless flow has played no role except that of a destroyer. Some of the Western states, have learned the lesson, have passed stringent laws prohibit construction that two yards in making building blood. New building contracting over $5000 were let this week by J. C. Scott.

While there are no figures at hand it is common knowledge that in Kentucky the same sort of waste is permitted to more or less degree. In some cases wells have been abandoned, and yet their precious fluid has not been checked. Squandered recklessly, the useless flow has played no role except that of a destroyer. Some of the Western states, have learned the lesson, have passed stringent laws prohibiting the abandonment of uncapped wells, California, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Washington being among them. California makes the uncontrolled flow of artesian wells a nuisance, and offenders may be finned from $10 to $50. In these days when the conservation of natural resources is a popular movement, the waters under the earth that have blessed and do bless mankind should not be overlooked. To waste them is to commit not only a folly but a crime. They are treasure-stores which, dissipated, cannot be replaced. Kentucky and Kentuckians ought to take the subject closely to heart and guard the water flow jealously and zealously.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Weekly Sales Report on Beaumont Real Estate In Beaumont a plan is now being formulated for a school of instruction in horticulture and irrigation to teach new settlers. Experience of the past will be published in lessons showing proper rotation of crops, use of fertilizers and application of water to the land. Success will thereby be assured and the progress of agricultural development accelerated.

He leaves a widow and four children. He was the only surviving brother of Mrs. W. G. Potter, deceased, wife of ex-County Treasurer W. G. Potter. MARVELOUSLY FERTILE DESERT The desert is the most fertile area in the United States. That sounds like a paradox, yet it is true. Where did the great civilizations of antiquity arise? Where but in the fertile deserts? Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Persia, Arabia, Northern India, the north coast of Africa, were all arid lands. The Incas in Peru, the Toltecs and Aztecs in Mexico, reared their civilizations upon desert plateaus. The history of the Jews is a history of a desert folk. It was within the encircling walls of the desert that they evolved their national and their religious consciousness. Out of the desert sprang all these things as the water gushed from the rock at the blow of Moses. The desert is most fertile because it is a savings bank without any withdrawals. Plauts need potash, magnesia, lime and other foodstuffs, just as we need animals and plants. Now in the humid lands, such as in our Eastern states, the rains have fallen for tens of thousands of centuries, and they have washed out the food of the plants. But in the arid lands LADY CARRIERS though Uncle Sam does not accely carriers in the cities become regulations prescribe what trousers carriers shall wear items not only to be no objectory many advantages in having in the rural delivery system.

COUNTRY'S APPLE CROP The late figures given out by the apple growers congress committee appointed for that purpose have compiled figures from twenty-eight states showing the percentage of a full crop to be very low. Only California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho show a full crop, Illinois returning only 10 per cent of a normal output. The average for the twenty-eight states is about 46 per cent, or less than one-half a crop. Arkansas, another great apple state, shows a deficiency of 90 per cent.
