NATIONAL II1IGATI0N.
Special torraipoudeare to the Eoho.
Washington, D. C., April 6, 1000,
—Throughout the entire arid region
the pian to construct storage reser-
voirs, to »« under governm^n* con-
trol, to lit used for the storage of
flood waters for irrigation ia almost
universally endorsed There is no
more important qneation now before
western Senators and Represent a*
tivaa than the reclamation of the
arid west through this means, nor
no project to which they oouui de-
vote themselves with more profit
and upon which they could combine
every force w ith more certain and
general support from their varied
constituencies. Will these consti-
tuencies demand such action on the
part of every represfntaliva sent to
the national' .Congress? The ques-
tion after all always rrsta with the
mau who casts the vole, if he will
but keep the fact in mind.
The action of Congress in appro
priatntg an additional $20,000 for ir
rigation invuetigalinn and reservoir
surveys shows that the national irri-
gation idea is at work in that body
and will not down. Each year a little
a I varies is made along this linejas the
proposition becomes belter known.
In unifying the West in favor nf the
policy of federal storage, one of the
excuses fur eastern opposition has
been overcome, for now the entire
arid region speaks as one vo.ee.

About three years ago my wife bad
an attack of rheumatism which con-
fined her to her bed for Syera month
and rendered her unable to walk a
step without assistance, her limbs
being swollen to double their nor-

on my using Chnmbcrlain’s Pain
Balm. I purchased a n;,v-cent bot
tie and used it accmdii.g to the di-

tants in any manner, and she has

GOOD ADVICE.
Burdette gives good advice, as fol
lows' “There are young men that
do not work, my son; but the world
is not proud of them. It does not
know their names even; it simply
speaks of them as old so-and-so’s
boys. Nobody likes them, nobody
hates them,- the great busy world
dosen’teven know that they are there.
So find out what you want to bo
aud tlo, son, and takeoff your coat
and make adust in the world,
Tbe busier you ere, the less deviltry
you will be apt to get into, the«weet
er will be vour sleep, the brighter
and happier your holidays, and the
better eati-fied will the world be
with you.’’

“Mamma, what does the bars and
stripes signify on the United States
flag? There are thirteen of them,
my son, and thay represent the orig
iual thirteen States that gained their
independence of Great Britiau by the
Revolutionary wat. “What do the
stars mean?” Oh each star repre-
sents a State and ?very time a new
State is added to our glorious Union
of States an other star is placed on
the flag which we call Old Glory.”
“It seems to me, mamma that if
this couniry keeps on expanding and
our new p- '-ssioo? b^in to come in
as States, the. flag will have to be
very much enlarged or the stars
must b* made smaller, for there is
Peurto Rico, several divisions of th®
Philippines. Hawaii and doutless
Cuba will all want to live under Old
Glory,” “Oh that’s easy, they will
place half of the stars on one side and
the balance on the other,” and the
boy laughed with satisfaction that
his mother had solved the problem
of the exp’ ^sion of tbe flag.
