Our Underground Waters Test of Practical Conservation in Southern California Counties. A new investigation of the supply of underground waters in Southern California has lately been started by the United States Geological Survey at the request of the California Conservation Commission, which will meet the larger part of the necessary expenses for field and office work. This work serves to call public attention to the results attained in the same region by the federal survey through earlier work, which was begun nine years ago under the specific authority of the annual congressional appropriation "for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells." Five reports were issued as a result of that earlier investigation. Three of these, Water Supply Papers 137, 138, and 139 related to the coastal plain of Southern California, and a fourth, No. 142, described the San Bernardino valley. None of these publications are now available for free distribution by the survey, but they may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, at 35, 25, 25, and 25 cents, respectively. Of the fifth report, Water-Supply Paper 219, which describes the foothill belt east of Los Angeles, a small supply remains available for free distribution, and a copy may be obtained by addressing the Director of the United States Geological Survey at Washington. This series of papers, by W. C. Mendenhall, geologist, sets forth the obvious relation between the maintenance of the supply of ground waters and the continuance of agricultural life. To measure the possible fluctuations in ground-water levels in the practical effects of this work that the California State Conservation Commission has asked the United States Geological Survey to undertake the present research. To this task has been assigned as the Survey's direct representative Charles H. Lee, who, under the direction of Chief Engineer William Mulholland, of the Los Angeles aqueduct, through a cooperative agreement between the managers of the aqueduct and the geological survey, has just completed a careful study of the quantity of surface waters absorbed by the underground reservoirs of the Owens Valley. These reservoirs have recently been purchased by the city of Los Angeles to augment the surface supplies available for the aqueduct which it is now constructing from a point above Independence to Los Angeles, a distance of 240 miles. A survey water-supply paper is now in press reporting the results of Mr. Lee's intensive studies in Owens valley. In carrying out the investigations in the San Bernardino basin Mr. Lee will find available the results of the earlier studies made by the geological survey in that basin, and these studies will be augmented by certain observations made since then by the citizens and water companies who have come to realize the significance of ground-water fluctuations as indicators of the status of the underground supplies. For comparison with conditions in this basin, where artificial means have been taken to maintain ground-water levels, there are available systematic measurements of water levelling. CALIFORNIA LIBRARY State and County Libraries at Lake Tahoe The California Library and the California Councils are going to hold a job at Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe inning on June 17 and June 22, 1912. The main reasons for being called usual interest to every California. Education rariles, on the scale used California, is one of the tious and most far-reaching rises of our day and g is in line with all these movements for generalization the popularization of an endeavor to make use of educational advances all classes of people. The California Library is a very live organis year it sets up a sort o for ideas, where the all over the state co their professional experi "bright thoughts," for times and methods tha most useful to fellow her parts of the field. librarian affects the for whom he or she w rectly than any other p Increased knowledge, thusiasm and increased librarian show immedi sed interest, increased increased book-enjoyment of everyone for whoso from the school boy o help with lessons up to man writing a serious scientific scholar doing in the library's referen The expense incurred librarian to these meetings in actual value to tha increase in the li hill belt east of Los Angeles, a small supply remains available for free distribution, and a copy may be obtained by addressing the Director of the United States Geological Survey at Washington. This series of papers, by W. C. Mendenhall, geologist, sets forth the obvious relation between the maintenance of the supply of ground waters and the continuance of agricultural life. To measure the possible fluctuations in ground-water levels intensive studies were made and exact measurements procured. As a result of the study of several thousand of wells and of the geologic conditions which control the distribution of the underground waters within the area of 1000 square miles covered by these reports, it was recognized that some parts of this area constitute separate and independent water basins, so that local conditions may cause local fluctuations not related to those of adjacent areas. Utilizing Waste Land as a Water Trap Basing its action in part on the results of this geologic investigation, congress in 1908, created a reservation of eight sections—5120 acres—of vacant public land within San Bernardino Valley, for general use in checking and spreading flood waters and thus increasing its contribution to the underground supply. Prior to the creation of this reserve the local water companies for some years had been spreading the flood waters for the purpose of increasing the proportion of them absorbed by the sands and gravels and added to the underground supply. It is to determine DRY FARMING CONGRESS All Nations Will Be Represented at the Seventh Session The interest of all nations in the forthcoming Seventh International Dry-Farming Congress, at Lethbridge, Alberta, October 21st to 26th, grows apace with the sending out by the Dominion government of Canada of engrossed invitations for each to participate. The cordial co-operation of the Canadian officials and the Honorable Ambassador of Great Britain to Washington has been productive of numerous enquiries as to the preparations for the congress. It is expected that fully 50 distinguished foreign agriculturists and states on a similar mission, and Hon. Duncan Marshall, minister of agriculture of Alberta, has been invited by the board of control to make a tour of the border states and several others to the south of the western province of Canada to extend formal invitations to participate. CLOUDBURST IN FOOTHILLS Volume of Water on San Joaquin Ranch Does No Damage A cloudburst in the foothills near Tomato Springs, on the San Joaquin ranch, during the rains on Thursday, caused a rush of water down the ditches and ravines leading from that librarian show immediate interest, increased book-enjoyment of everyone for whom he help with lessons up to man writing a serious scientific scholar doing in the library's reference. The expense incurred by librarian to these meetings in actual value to the increase in the libraryness. The California county so are a very up-to-date makers. They are a youth organization than the California association, since the country system has been in three years. In that accomplished a great deal is to establish in California a county free which shall supply even that county with books resident in question life or off in the most isolated county. Such a distribution has never attempted, but in California ready hailed as a triumph. It has been called a major institution even though schools. The sixteen already have the county system extend from Meadowland north of Imperial county in the counties that are given to have the county free system include all the rest eight counties of this is accomplished of the state will receive service. Last year $100 propriated for county it is prophesied that $appropriated next year counties have joined $580,000 can be counted annual appropriation. It is necessary that rarians of California awake and thoroughly their methods. A county librarian is expected not only to be a good librarian but he be a first class exegeter purchaser and a person social methods and tracing. The field of influence can hardly be estimated good for the librarian and inspirationally is entire community. Dry-Farming Congress, at Lethbridge, Alberta, October 21st to 26th, grows apace with the sending out by the Dominion government of Canada of engrossed invitations for each to participate. The cordial co-operation of the Canadian officials and the Honorable Ambassador of Great Britain to Washington has been productive of numerous enquiries as to the preparations for the congress. It is expected that fully 50 distinguished foreign agriculturists and diplomats will attend. There is a likelihood that every South American republic will be represented by two or more official delegates, while several will send delegations to the congress of Farm Women. Michigan and New York are becoming deeply interested in the dry-farming movement, and delegations are certain to be sent by these states for the first time, while Dr. Liberty H. Bailey, the famous agricultural author, who is Dean of Agriculture of Cornell University, has accepted an invitation to participate. Minnesota and Illinois are also to be represented by both delegations and exhibits, and the co-operation of governors Deneen and Eberhardt has been followed by the immigration and agricultural officials arranging for large state exhibits of dry-farmed products. The executive secretary treasurer, John T. Burns, is on a field trip in the middle western states, and everywhere is meeting with promises of a large attendance of delegates and fine exhibits. Daniel Morgan, of the board of governors, will shortly tour the northwestern and Pacific coast CLOUDBURST IN FOOTHILLS Volume of Water on San Joaquin Ranch Does No Damage A cloudburst in the foothills near Tomato Springs, on the San Joaquin ranch, during the rains on Thursday, caused a rush of water down the ditches and ravines leading from that point west. A big volume of water passed down the ravine and in some places spread out over the land, but did no particular damage. The flood waters reached as far as Fred Culver's place on the Laguna road, six miles from Tomato Springs. Good rains fell on portions of the ranch. At Irvine station the precipitation was half an inch and near the alfalfa ranch it was about .30 of an inch. At the ranch house it was .17 of an inch. The rain will do worlds of good to the growing beets and will put the bean lands in fine condition for planting. Many acres of beans have already been planted on the Irvine ranch and farmers will now get busy and rush the planting. The fall in Santa Ana was light, amounting to .07 of an inch for the storm. There was somewhat of a cloudburst over at Orange Thursday at noon, when nearly an inch of water fell in an hour, and the streets were flooded. Local and Los Angeles bottled beer at brewery prices. Rust's winery. CALIFORNIA LIBRARY MEETING State and County Librarians Meet at Lake Tahoe The California Library Association and the California County Librarians are going to hold a joint convention at Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe, beginning on June 17 and adjourning on June 22, 1912. The meeting and its reasons for being called are of unusual interest to every resident of California. Education, through libraries, on the scale undertaken by California, is one of the most ambitious and most far-reaching enterprises of our day and generation. It is in line with all the great world movements for general uplift and the popularization of learning. It is an endeavor to make equal distribution of educational advantage among all classes of people. The California Library Association is a very live organization. Every year it sets up a sort of trading-post for ideas, where the librarians from all over the state come to barter their professional experiences and "bright thoughts," for the new schemes and methods that have proven most useful to fellow-workers in other parts of the field. Probably the librarian affects the general public for whom he or she works more directly than any other public servant. Increased knowledge, increased enthusiasm and increased vitality of the librarian show immediately in increased interest, increased efficiency and increased book-enjoyment on the part of everyone for whom she labors, from the school boy or girl getting help with lessons up to the club woman writing a serious paper or the scientific scholar doing research-work in the library's reference department. The expense incurred in sending the librarian to these meetings is trebled in actual value to the community by the increase in the library's usefulness of the state library can be personally investigated. This meeting represents a great public work, the work of bringing books to every resident of the state. These books are not merely to amuse him, they are to help him in his business or in his profession; they are to give him the most recent and valuable information of the day on his special topic of interest. This is a work to benefit the farmer equally with the lawyer; to give the same book-opportunities to the country boy as to the college student; it is a work for all the people. FIRE SEASON OPENS Forest Service Calls Attention to "The Six Rules" The 1912 forest fire season opened in California May 4 with a fire in Devil Canyon on the Angeles National Forest, which was extinguished by the Forest Service after it had burned two hundred acres. The fire was caused by a power company burning brush on its right-of-way. Supervisor Charlton of the Angeles National Forest reports that in ordinary years such rights of way can be safely cleared by burning as late as June. But this year the country has dried out early and a bad season is expected. The U.S. district forester at San Francisco states that the forest rangers are organized for a vigorous campaign against fire in the national forests of the state and urges upon the public compliance with what are known as "The Six Rules". The forest officers say that if every traveler in the mountains would carefully follow these simple directions, the fire record would be far better than last year, in spite of natural conditions being worse, for 71 of the worst fires in 1911 were caused by hunters and campers.

WALLPAPER Telephones Main 157 librarian show immediately in increased interest, increased efficiency and increased book enjoyment on the part of everyone for whom she labors, from the school boy or girl getting help with lessons up to the club woman writing a serious paper or the scientific scholar doing research work in the library's reference department. The expense incurred in sending the librarian to these meetings is trebled in actual value to the community by the increase in the library's usefulness. The California county librarians also are a very up-to-date body of workers. They are a younger organization than the California library association, since the county free library system has been in operation only three years. In that time it has accomplished a great work. Its ideal is to establish in every county of California a county free library and which shall supply every resident of that county with books, whether the resident in question lives in a city or off in the most isolated district of the county. Such a scheme of book distribution has never before been attempted, but in California it is already hailed as a triumphant success. It has been called a more truly popular institution even than our public schools. The sixteen counties that already have the county free library system extend from Modoc county in the extreme north of the state to Imperial county in the extreme south, the counties that are going some day to have the county free library system include all the rest of the fifty-eight counties of the state. When this is accomplished every resident of the state will receive free book service. Last year $100,000 was appropriated for county library work; it is prophesied that $180,000 will be appropriated next year; when all the counties have joined the system $580,000 can be counted upon for an annual appropriation. Clearly, then, it is necessary that the county librarians of California shall be wide awake and thoroughly up to date in their methods. A county librarian in California is expected not only to be technically a good librarian but he or she must be a first class executive, a good purchaser and a person of successful social methods and trained judgment. The field of influence of the librarian can hardly be estimated. What is good for the librarian educationally and inspirationally is good for the entire community. "The Six Rules". The forest officers say that if every traveler in the mountains would carefully follow these simple directions, the fire record would be far better than last year, in spite of natural conditions being worse, for 71 of the worst fires in 1911 were caused by hunters and campers. "The Six Rules" are as follows: 1. Be sure your match is out before you throw it away. 2. Knock out your pipe ashes or throw your cigar or cigarette stump where there is nothing to catch fire. 3. Don't build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. Never leave it even for a short time without putting it out with water or dirt. 4. Don't build a camp fire against a tree or a log. Build a small one where you can scrape away the needles, leaves or grass from all sides of it. 5. Don't build bonfires. The wind may come up at any time and start a fire you cannot control. 6. If you discover a fire, put it out if possible; if you can't, get word of it to the nearest U.S. forest ranger or state fire warden just as quickly as you possibly can. TICKLED THE BISHOP "The late Bishop Mackey-Smith," said a Philadelphian, "was the life of many a dinner party—a man as jolly as he was good. The Bishop, at a dinner in Rittenhouse Square one night, was describing an old fisherman he had met in Gloucester. "Are you contented?" the Bishop asked the old fellow. And the fisherman, taking his pipe from his mouth, piously replied: "I am contented through and through, sir, when I think of the glorious immorality to come." SAFE BET I think they'll marry. She is his first love. That doesn't signify. Well, he is her last chance. Oh, that's different. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes awake and thoroughly up to date in their methods. A county librarian in California is expected not only to be technically a good librarian but he or she must be a first class executive, a good purchaser and a person of successful social methods and trained judgment. The field of influence of the librarian can hardly be estimated. What is good for the librarian educationally and inspirationally is good for the entire community. At this meeting at Tahoe it is very important, then, that everybody actively engaged or about to be engaged in library work in California shall be present—county librarians, other librarians, library trustees and all interested workers with books. The county librarians have already had two rousing annual meetings; the California library association has had sixteen; this is the first joint session of the two bodies. Papers will be read and discussions brought forth on all the live library topics of the day; the motto will be service; how to improve the work; how to get books to the people; how to do it cheaper; how to do it quicker. From all over the state the regular summer rates to Lake Tahoe will be in force. This rate is better than the usual convention rate, better than the usual one and a third rate. Rates at Tahoe Tavern are reduced for the occasion. The regulations on tickets provide stopovers at several places in California where a county or other library is doing especially good work. A valuable stopover place is Sacramento where the work SAFE BET I think they'll marry. She is his first love. That doesn't signify. Well, he is her last chance. Oh, that's different. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. F. M. Sutton, Fullerton, Cal., says: "A member of my family was cured of kidney disease some time ago by Doan's Kidney Pills. He thinks there is no other remedy their equal and is constantly recommending them to his friends. I also know of several people who have been cured of kidney complaint by this remedy."
