(lring beta aid aaa mrm THE AMERICAN PRESS A-SCqATIONj CHRISTMAS Christmas is the season when everyone should halt and consider some deed of cheer (or his fellow cit izens, or strive in some manner to make the world a better place in which to live. It is likewise the season when the community and the individual should take stock of the year that is to come.

Vast tracts of land that are bat a liability to the county and the na- tlon, thousands upon thousands of acres that have but brought ruin to j every man who has been enterpris-l ing enough to attempt the task of dry farming with the application of water will bring happy homes and much taxable wealth to the commun ity, the state and nation.
