What electric power can mean is evident when it is realized that agri culture'is a great “basic industry”; that hard times invariably follow crop failures; that irrigation is the solu tion of the western farmer’s problem; and that electric power for irrigation pumps is making irrigation easier, mbre efficient, more reliable and less expensive. v It has been found, incidentally, that in most cases the farmer wants to install too largo an irrigation system. The ideal plant is the one that oper ates continually and has a storage reservoir so that jt largo, expensive pump is not needed. When n small installation of this sort is at work, a storage res ervoir capable of holding all the water ''Thin Ale® Was Desert Once pumped over a period of twelve hours, the plant could be run nil night, and in the morning the farmer would find full reservoir, from which he could water his land m needed through the day; and at night the reservoir would bt empty, thui oompletlng the cycle AN AMATEUR CONGRESS. Members are Nearly Equally Di- j vided in Politics. (By JOE SNYDER.) The members of the Amateur Con gress met in the Capitol building in Mugville last week. As they walked through the streets of the city the citizens noticed that some thing unusual going to happen, and when the speaker, D.O. Little, called “time,” the members took their seats as usual. A member from Oakland moved that a committee be appointed to look into the charge against John Bushy head, the secretary of the navy; The charge was that the secretary had been seen in company witji a black grey man on a dark moonlight night, and that he acted suspicious, as the man seemed to have been drinking near beer, and who was trying to get the secretary to drink with him. I The secretary was called in and ! denied the charge, saying that on the night in question he was with the secretary of the treasury and that they both were drinking soda pop. Then the committee who had charge of the charge against Bill Sausage, the attorney-general, moved that his chair in his office be declared vacant. The attorney-general, who was pres ent, rose to a pint of water and said this committee had nothing to do with his seat or his chair as he had bought both his seat and chair and the gov ernment had nothing, to do with it. He was asked what he was doing one night prancing down the main street with Miss Carry A. Gunn, a woman who had bobbed her hair, bobbed her dres& on both ends, and bobbed her socks? The attorney-general remind ed the committee that he had gotten permission from his mo and pa to walk down the street with Miss Gunn and he didn’t care whp knowd* ft. Thfn a charge was brought against Tom Hptdawg, a member es congress, in that he stopped at Muggsville’s Bonanza tfotef due night and hod to sleep in a bed with another per-* son and that in order to get the tied to himself, he told the other person he had the itch, causing the said per son to Jose a bight’s sleep, contrary tp the laws of Mugville and the vil lage gs Pitshoropgh- Another charge was that he wa§ sgep with M|ss lona Carr in a very compromising posi tion in that* he lit a cigarette for he rand handed it to her with his l°ft hand. He was ordered to buy the committee a gallon of liquor. Sa'd he’d go to jail first as buying a gal lon of liquor would break him, un )§gg Gfißgress raised his wJigps.
