Nine Times Out of Ten Farmers Show Wisdom Wish to Learn Who Ovns Their Water During the Klamath irrigation distript elec tion this fall one. side the majority adopted a slogan. It was: "We own the water let's keep it." The thought back of that slogan was a sin cere belief that the power company, with the connivance of the reclamation service had stolen water belonging to the project. Water users were told, and many believed, that the power company should be made to pay a great share of the heavy cost of water to the farmer and more. The farmers were told the power company should be made to pay the construction costs cf the project. It is understood the farmers' advisory com mittee hasMoId the district board to spend $10,000 if necessary to determine the fact3. Tl at is. to abrogate the power contract, if possible. ' R. E.

Once we made concrete blocks to build houses out of sand and gravel from our pit. One time the school board almost built a schoolhouse out of concrete blocks made from sand and gravel our of our pit. That is the only time we have liked con crete. Since we have liked asphalt. Gravel and asphalt makes nice wavy streets, full of holes. If they make concrete streets they would not use so much gravel We have no crushed rock to sell. But we have a nice little pit out our way from which we like to sell gravel to build streets. For good roads week, which is coming soon we "urge" more asphalt streets. "If the thirty pieces of silver which Judas got for betraying Christ had been placed at four per cent interest, assuming their value to be half a dollar each, the Judas Foundation today would claim a mass of gold equal to 345,000 globes the size of this earth," ssys the Dearborn Independent. Apparently interest has its limitations.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: i read your column daily' which gives ndvice to old and younx. so I am coming to you wllb my trouble. To begin with. I am It years old. The trouble Is with my step father. I cannot lire under the same roof as he. It makes It veYy unpleasant for my wonderful mother when he end I start our dally quarrels. My stepfather tells me I am good for nothing. tell me I am crazy and things much worse. I simply go to my bed room and cry because I cannot stand It. The quarre's begin as soon as I step Inside the door, lie has also told mo to leave home, which I hnve threatened to do It this keeps up. I am not of age. so tell me of some way I can create more happiness with my stepfather. I halo to have mother and my stepfather quarrel because of me. I hope to find some com fort in your answer. EXY. " You really are too young to leave homo and battle your way alone, regardless of how difficult It is for you to live there. I would suggest, Eny, lliat you practice a little forbearance with your stepfather for your mother's soke. No doubt you. In your youthful Ire, retort to his remarks and further Inflame him. Prac tice hearing In silence whatever he has to say to you, no matter how It hurts. When yott are older, and better able to nland alone, you can leave such surroundings. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am the mother of llirco children boys and they are connldered very beautiful. I've been told many times to enter them for a prise.
