Large Irrigation
Project Planned
In San Saba Now
&n Salia, Tex. Oct. 26.—Pontor
Hector of San l>alu», made it re-
port on th« Sun Saba Irrigation prop-
osition yesterday to the directors of
thi chamber of commerce. In which
he *eta forth the splendid benefits
that would be derived from euoh a
pyatem. H« notified the committee
that he had succeeded in securing a
•mail appropriation to be used «* a
preliminary survey, and in orpanlilng
•it irrigation district.
He told them that the atate board of
water engineers had agreed to come
at an early date, to be decided upon
later, and look the situation over
thoroughly. After they make their
rrport It will then be up to the com-
missioners court to call a vote on it.
and let the people decide If they want
It.
Senator Rector's Idea Is to ar-
range a bonding proposition, bends
to be Issued on the amortization plan
by which one per cent of the prin-
cipal will be paid off, annually, in
connection with the Interest. This
will divide the debt Into thirty-four
and one-half years, easy payments.
The proposition Is to Irrigate some
forty thousand acres, at the estimated
cost of one million dollars, which will
ba approximately twenty-five dollars
an acre.
This amount distributed over thirty
•<}d years would naturally run a very
light tax.
Last years average production on
the irrigated land would have paid the
whota thing- out with more than an
average dryland crop as surplus.
H. P. Davis, representing the state
department of agriculture, appeared
before the directors of the chamber
of commerce yesterday and made a
plea for the farmers, showing In a
very few words that there |s a mis-
taken Idea relative to the high price
of cotton making the farmer rich.
With present labor conditions, the
Sigh cost of every commodity, the
fanner cannot afford to Increase cot-
to acreage, to reduce prices
He atated that last year over 125.-
006 bales of cotton was lost after be-
ing matured, because of Inadequate
means of taking care of It, and thi
estimate of this year's loss Is much
higher.
The agricultural department ha* de-
cided that 44 cents per pound Is a
fair price at the present time, and
uks the business men to assist the
farmer in getting this price estab-
lished, he Mid.
pointed to present the proposition,
which. It Is believed, will be received
favorably by the court.
The need of such an agent, one of
the speakers pointed out, Is Illustrated
In the fact that there Is no county
organlxr.tlon to look after the work
of' gnthering farm exhibits for such
expositions as the Pallas State fair
and the Waco Cotton Palace—at
either of which. It Is said, flan Saba

and to accumulate, or to use, as one
sees fit, and to transmit to his chil-
dren the wages of 'his work. Is an
essential part of "life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness."
"These essential elements of liberty
are menaced by revolutionary doc-
trines. This revolutionary movement
Is international In Its scope and pur-
pose. It has received powerful en-
couragement from the administra-
tion. Many of Its advocates have oc-
cupied high place In the government.
Instead of encouraging a class of dic-
tatorship It Is the business of the gov-
ernment to preserve the ordered lib-
erty of the people, and to protect by
every means in Its power the Institu-
tions on which It Is founded. De-
fenders and advocates of thobe who
have been convicted by due process
of law of crimes of violence, commit-
ted In pursuance of a revolutionary
and communistic program, should be
dismissed from the government ser-
vice.
"Every American soldier, except
those engaged In diplomatic or other
peaceful service, should be at once
withdrawn from Europe and the con-
tinent of A si''; and the work of re-
cruiting and transporting military
forces of the I'nlu-a States for service
In Siberia btid Germany, and the plans
being made for sending an American
army to Turkey should be at once
suppressed. The resources of our
people and the activities of their gov-
ernment should be devoted to their
own Interests Instead of to those of
foreign nations."

Philadelphia Oct. 26.—Worried by
business difficulties and tired of
life, Philip Bellkove, of Perth Amboy,
N. J., who camo to this city Satur-
day, derided he wanted to be shot.
Thereupon, Haverford township po-
lice say, he started to achieve his am-
bition In the most approved way
known. Hs broke Into the West
Chester pike home of Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoll, notorious draft dodger.
like federal agents who have fre-
quently visited Bergdoll's home In this
city, however, Bellkove was out of
luck. There was nobody at home at
the Bergdoll houpe.
Bellkove did the best he could. He
entered the house via the window
route In the most Improved burglar-
ious fashion. Once Inside, he ran-
sacked the place from top to bottom,
and made all the noise posaible, but'
still no militant Bergdoll appeared to
fire the fatal shot.
At last, disgusted with the safe out-
come of his burglary, Bellkove un-
dressed, retired to an upstairs room
and fell sound ssleep.
Sunday morning dawned and still
no one appeared to shoot at the vis-
itor. Bellkove arose, ransacked the
larder and cooked a substantial break-
fast.
A few minutes later, Martin, a
carelaker, entered the house. His
coming brought renewed hope to the
Perth Amboy gentleman. But It was
a false alarm. Martin proved just
as hospitable ns one could wish. He
thought the visitor was a federal
agent, and naturally did not worry
about him.
It was not until Martin's curiosity
w.<s aroused finally, and Chief Hal-
llssey ,of the Ifaverford township po-
lice, was summoned, that even a slight
measure of excitement was Injected
Into Bellkove's experience.
'I want to get shot," said Belikove
to Halllssey. "That's why I broke
tntrrttits house."
"You certainly picked the light
house to go to," said Halllssey.
The chief then took Bellkove to thje
Oakmont police station. Later, Bel-
lkove's wife arrived from Perth Am-
boy and explained that her husbind
had been 111 for some time. Hallls-
sey investigated the story, found It to
be trus, and released Belikove.

Buffalo, N. Y„ Oct 26.—'Llfs'a
Greatest Advenjur#—Marriage," was
the toplo of the R»v. Robert MaeAl-
pine at the Central. Presbyterian
church. It was announced as a aer-
mon to young people, and Included
advice In a list of "dort'ts," as follows:
Don't bank on good looks; It Is as
unreliable as the weather.
Don't marry for wealth without
love; It would be as Insipid as a Kilt-
less egg.
Don't mfirry where common sense
is no greater than dollars and cents;
your happiness would soon be bank-
rupt
Don't marry a person who thinks
more of a good time than a good
name; your good time would never
arrive.
Don't marry to reform; the failure
of remaking would likely be your un-
making.
Don't marry for a home; your home
in all probability would be just a
house.
Don't marry a bad temper, your
happiness would soon be untempered.
Don't marry a person whose clothes
are better than his habits; the habits
would make such unhapplness as
clothes could not cover.
Don't marry for sentiment; like a
perfumed flower, It Is apt to fade be-
fore your honeymoon Is over.
Don't marry your opposite In re-
ligion; strangely true, your religion Is
likely to outlive your love; like water
and oil, they are hard to mix.
Don't inarry until you are In sound
health; if you do your married happ*
ness will start off limping.
Don't marry extravagance; you
could never make ends meet, much
less overlap.
Don't marry In haste; It's a life
leap; be sure you're ready before you
Jump.
Don't marry reputation; without
character, It Is a worthless check.
Don't marry until you have ear-
nestly prayed about It; if marriages
are made In heaven, surely heaven
should have something to say In the
choice.
Don't forget that In the United
States one in every eight marriages
ends In divorce or separation, chief-
ly because these warnings are not ob-
served.

There was a suggestion tonight
that the cabinet might decide to
send Secretary Wilson to Indiana-
polls to confer with the executive
board of the United Mine workers of
America, which will meet there on
Wednesday, Labor leaders here said
In view of the efforts made by the
secretary to settle the strike, and In
the light of the president's emphatic
announcement that the mines had to
remain open, a personal word spok-
en to members of the board might
pave the way for peace.
Indianapolis, Oct. 26.—A "suitable
reply'' to President Wilson's state-
ment holding the Impending coal
miners' strike to be not only un-
justifiable, but unlawful, will prob-
ably b^ drawn up at the meeting
of the International executive board
of the United Mine workers of Amer-
ica, to be held here on Wednesday,
according to a statement today by
William Green, secretary treasury of
the United Mine workers. Mr. Green
declined to comment on the presi-
dent's statement pending such action
as thfc board may take, further than
to say that It is an Impossibility now
to rescind the strike ordft- effective
Nov. 1.
"I suppose that a suitable reply
to the president's statement will be
drawn up at the meeting on Wednes-
day," Mr. Green said. "The meeting
already had been called for that
•la'e but consideration of the presi-
dent's statement will now be the
most Important business before the
hoard."

Life of Ringling
Very Interesting
New Tork, Oct, 26.—Alfred T.
Ringling, The njilliopalre circus
owner, head of the firm of Ringling
Rrothers, which elnee 1906, when it
purchased the Forepaugh-Sells circus,
had been recognized as the dominat-
ing Influence In the tented show bus-
iness on this continent, died recently
of heart failure on his big estate at
Oak Ridge, N. J. He was /ifty-slx
years old. His wife and one sou,
Richard, survive him.
Of the seven brothers who, from
the humbllst beginning In 1882, rose
to become the greatest circus men In
America, only two, John and Charles,
are left.
Next to the achievement of his
brothers, Mr. Ringiing was proudest
of his New Jersey estate. It is the
winter quarters of a large part of the
Ringling circus.
The rise of the RIngllngs to fame
and fortune Is one of the real ro-
mances of the amusement world.
Although Al, who died about four
years ago, was the managing head ot
the partnership of brothers. It was
the ingenuity of Alfred that was
largely the secret of the vast success
of the enterprises.
The seven brothers were born and
brought up In McGregor. Ia.. In hum-
ble circumstances. Rack In 1882 these
boys invested a few dollars in an old
skiff which, when they grew tired of
it, they traded for a Mexican pony.
It occurred to them, boylike, to give
a circus in a tent made of rags and
pieces of old carpet. They charged
their play meat es an admission fee of
ten pins. Their aggregation of cats,
dogs, chickens and a docile goat
stirred amused attention and they de-
cided to try their show In a neigh-
boring town. The next winter they
gave an indoor show in Country halls.
They saved their money and decided
to embark In the show business In
earnest.
During the eighties they traveled
"on wheels" through the west, trail-
ing or anticipating the great circus
organizations. From an Initial in-
vestment of $200, their show grew un-
til finally it represented upwards of

In the nineties the Ringling show
became Immensely popular in the
The show had been transformed In
tha early nineties to what la hnown as
a "railroad ahow". Two yaara later
the Rlngtlogs began active competi-
tion with tha Barnum and Bailey show
which was then tha greatest of all
American circus enterprises. To
strengthen their competitive tactics,
they bought the Jack Robinson circus
and, at the end o{ one season, ths
Barnum and Bailey combination was
glad to call a truce and divide terri-
tory with them.
The next move of the RlDgHngs was
to buy a half interest In the Fwe-
paugh-Setls show which James
Bailey, P. T. Barnum's old partner,
owned. On Mr. Bailey's death, the
RIngllngs acquired all his Interests.
Prom that time ths RIngllngs became
pre-eminent In ths sawdust arena of
America and they also acquired ex-
tensive European Interests.

report resulted in the capture by ths
Italians of several hundred thousand
Austrian prisoners.

Many mothers who in order to keep the home neat and
attractive, the children well fed and dressed, continually
overdo.
The experience of motherhood alone causes a severe strain
upon the system, from which maqjy women recover slowly,'
and serious feminine disorders may develop unless great
care is taken to prevent them.
To such women Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound is invaluable. For
many years this root and herb medicine
has been recognized as the standard
remedy for woman's ills;
restoring them to a normal,
heakhy condition.
