ONE STATE BOARD MAKES FUNNY REQUEST CALIFORNIA WATER COMMISSION ASKS THAT TWO $5000 SALARIES BE ABOLISHED THE BIENNIAL REPORT TELLS OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED DURING PAST TWO YEARS The California State Water Commission, in its second biennial report, just issued, is making the unique recommendation that the salaries of two of its three $5,000 a year commissioners be abolished. The commission is composed of A.E. Chandler of Berkeley, president, W.A. Johnston of San Dimas, and Irving Martin of Stockton. The water commission act became effective December 14, 1914. It provided for three commissioners at a salary of $5,000 per year, and Governor Johnson appointed the three men named. After four years of experience, the commission is now recommending its own reconstruction. The seventeen western states which are thought of as "irrigation states" are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Arizona and Montana are the only two in which water codes have not been adopted caring for the difficulties and in bringing together those who desired an equitable settlement of differences, but did not know how to proceed. The commission feels that it has been able, through its efforts in this regard, to save much useless and expensive litigation. The commission states that it is apparent from the number of inquiries received, that there is vital need for legislation which would permit a party, even though not engaged in public service, the right to eminent domain for rights of way for ditches, it being necessary for any one who desires to appropriate water to show right of access to his proposed point of diversion. Hence the commission is recommending that the right of eminent domain to parties not engaged in public service be given in such terms that its meaning cannot be successfully questioned. Very frequently it happens that a person having the facility to use water, or having an available diversion site, does not avail himself of the opportunity, and plays the dog in the manger by refusing any one else access at a reasonable compensation. It is provided in section 24 of the water commission act that in case suit is brought in the superior court for determination of rights to water or the use of water, the case may, in the discretion of the court, be transferred to the state water commission for investigation, as referee. The commission is being called to act in such capacity. An instance is the San Pedro Valley, conserving which a suit is pending in the superior court of San Mateo county, entitled Tobin vs. Brown, et al. The commission has carried on its investigation during the present year, and at the end of the season expects to have sufficient data for an early determination. appointed the three men named. After four years of experience, the commission is now recommending its own reconstruction. The seventeen western states which are thought of as "irrigation states" are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Arizona and Montana are the only two in which water codes have not been adopted caring for the initiation of rights, the adjudication or determination of rights and the distribution of water among those entitled to its use. In the remaining fifteen states, applications to appropriate water must be made to a central office, which office in various states is termed state engineer, water commission or water board. The most important work of these central offices is the initiation of rights, or the control of new appropriations. In this connection the commission recommends: "In practically all of the irrigation states a single officer has authority to pass upon applications to appropriate water, with provision for the right of appeal to the water board. As the work of passing upon applications to appropriate will require the greatest expenditure of time by the commission, in the interests of economy and administrative efficiency, it is recommended that the formation of the commission be changed to include one executive member on a stated salary, and two associate members on a per diem basis. The executive member shall have exclusive power to act upon all applications to appropriate, subject to appeal to the full commission. The associate members shall perform all the duties now imposed upon members of the commission, except that they shall have jurisdiction over applications to appropriate in cases of appeal only." It is understood that the commission proposes to follow up its recommendation by submitting to the legislature the necessary enabling proposals to make its recommendation effective. The report of the commission is brief and to the point, it being the desire of the commission, as it states, to economize in printed space. Those interested in the status of any application or in the filings upon any particular stream are requested to write directly to the commission, when all available data will be furnished. During the first two years of its existence, the commission received 531 applications to appropriate water. In A PATRIOTIC HEN The following extract from the report of a county home demonstration agent in Mississippi shows the kind of prize-winning poultry the southern club girls are adding to their flocks: "There are all kinds of hens like there are all kinds of people. Some do their part well and others fail totally, but at Pineville, just north of Pass Christian, there is one hen that has made such a record for herself and her family that she is entitled to be classed as a patriotic hen, and we give her history to that it may serve as an inspiration to other members of the feathered family that have layed down on their job. "This hen is owned by Miss Wilhemenia Hawkins, a club member, and is one of her state prize winners of the Barred Rock variety. Her name is Janie M. and she was one year old on April 11, 1918. She had laid 124 eggs to that date. When she was six months and five days old she had laid 14 eggs, 11 of which were set, and all hatched, bringing out 10 pullets and one cockerel. One of these pullets laid her first egg when she was four months and 11 days old, and has laid every day since. It is a race now between the mother and daughter for breaking the record in egg production, for while the old hen has done wonderfullp well, her daughter has nearly two months' start oner at the beginning of laying age, and at the rate the latter is going she is evidently endeavoring to push her patriotic mother down in the honor roll." THE PROPER COURSE Information of Priceless Value to Every Anaheim Citizen How to act in an emergency is knowledge of inestimable worth, and this is particularly true of the diseases and ills of the human body.

An instance is the San Pedro Valley, conserving which a suit is pending in the superior court of San Mateo county, entitled Tobin vs. Brown, et al. The commission has carried on its investigation during the present year, and at the end of the season expects to have sufficient data for an early determination.

Those interested in the status of any application or in the filings upon any particular stream are requested to write directly to the commission, when all available data will be furnished. During the first two years of its existence, the commission received 531 applications to appropriate water. In the period of 21 months from December 1, 1916, to September 1, 1918, covered in the present report, the commission received 528 applications, a total of 281 permits were granted, 24 applications withdrawn and 86 revoked, leaving 353 pending. For agricultural purposes there were 202 permits granted, for mining 34, for power 12, and for domestic purposes 8. The total number of applications handled by the commission since its organization to September 1st of the present year is 1059. In the matter of the use of water, and as indicating that a permit cannot be held for speculative purposes, the commission quotes from the act as follows: "When the party entitled to the use of water fails to beneficially use all or any part of the water claimed by him, for which a right of use has vested, for the purpose for which it was appropriated or adjudicated, for a period of three years, such unused water shall revert to the public and shall be regarded as unappropriated public water." It is therefore evident that a person obtaining a water right must continue to apply the water to beneficial use, otherwise his right is forfeited. The commission states that it has been acting in the nature of a bureau of information on questions regarding water-right principles. It claims to have been of much service in settling How to act in an emergency is knowledge of inestimable worth, and this is particularly true of the diseases and ills of the human body. If you suffer with kidney backache, urinary disorders, or any form of kidney trouble, the advice contained in the following statement should add a valuable asset to your store of knowledge. What could be more convincing proof of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills than the statement of an Anaheim citizen who used them and publicly tells of the benefit derived? Mrs. L. K. Marshall, 310 North Los Angeles St., says: "My kidneys were very weak and too frequent in action. My back was lame and mornings I felt tired and languid. My feet, ankles and limbs were swollen and often I had dizzy spells and headaches. I tried Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me wonderfully. Since then, when I have felt the least return of kidney trouble, they have always warded off the complaint." (Statement given March 22, 1913.) On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Marshall said: "I am as firm in the praise of Doan's Kidney Pills now as when I recommended them before. They never fall to give me quick relief." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Marshall had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv.

WILL YOU BE WEARING YOUR RED CROSS BUTTON WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME? - WHEN ALL YOU NEED TO JOIN THE RED CROSS IS "A HEART AND A DOLLAR" AND YOU CAN WEAR THE BUTTON ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CROWD-- OH-H-H-BOY! AIN'T IT A GR-R-R-RAND AND GLOR-R-RIOUS FEELIN'? TA TATA TYA By courtesy of Clare Briggs, New York Tribune. KEEPING HOME FIRES BURNING UNTIL THE SOLDIER RETURNS The Red Cross has for years been associated with hospitals, doctors, soldiers, sailors, battles, disasters; but it is only within the last few months that those who do not come under any of these classes have come to realize the importance of the assistance rendered by the Red Cross. Soldiers and sailors must be encouraged to "carry on." Their morale must be upheld. The sailor or soldier who is worrying about the welfare of his family is not able to put his mind on the business before him. For this reason the Home Service Section of the American Red Cross has been organized, and to the folks at home it means neighborliness, counsel and aid—the nation's assurance to the enlisted man that his family shall suffer for living is more difficult for every one in war times, and the mothers are lonely and discouraged, and this brings hardship on the heads of the little children. Sometimes the wife and mother is worrying over financial problems, and here the Home Service bureau is always helpful, for it tactfully assists her in properly managing her affairs, in planning her income and, of course, seeing that she is receiving sufficient allotment, and this regularly, and then if it becomes necessary the Red Cross is always ready to supplement the income. Where medical care or operations for the welfare of the children are necessary the Home Service is ready to assist, to secure proper care for the children, needing it and to ease the mind of the mother. Milk for Sick Babies. Everywhere in the war zone there are sick babies and babies needing milk. The American Red Cross is establishing milk stations, and the babies of Italian soldiers are beginning to thrive already under the competent care of the nurses, some of whom were Infant Welfare nurses in our own country before going overseas. At Children of the Crusade By JEANNE JUDSON. Frightened and pitiful, they walk apart, Through the familiar village street, grown strange, Hand clasped in hand, they hear weird echoes start From ruined homes. Fear dumbs each small, child heart. No tears rain down like dew to ease their woe; Horror has dried the wells from which they sprang, Like wee crusaders of the long ago, Their phantom banners in the breezes blow. If one should call out "Follow!" they would run, Grime of the highway on their tiny feet, Heedless alike of dust and blazing sun, Forget, as dreams, the horrors that were done. None calls; weary they rest within the shade, The ruined church, where once they learned to pray, Long years before the war had come, and laid Their homes in ruins, made their hearts afraid. Before the Holy Mother low they bow, Perhaps she hears and soon will bring them aid, It must be she whose voice is calling now, For see the cross is shining on her brow! The light around her head, a nimbus gleams, A Red Cross worker, not from Heaven, they know, Yet Mary heard and sent her here it seems, To lead them home to shelter and to dreams.
