A bronse plaque was imbedded in the great brown rock over the grave of Burroughs and lovely flowers were heaped over the monad. This waa the first anniversary of his death, and Ma farm, his home and many of the spots made famous by his writings will be preserved to posterity thru Mr. Ford's gift.

Flags of escorting crafts flew st half mast and were dipped in sitlute to the fallen warriors. Forty-five thousand of those who made the supreme sacrifice overseas in the service of the United States have now been brought back to their homeland and only about 100 more bodies await shipments from England and France. All of the others who fell in battle or died behind the lines will continue to rest in foreign soil, that being the wish of their relatives.

Virginia em* Bvulby Tobaccos *111 ■WULAK*' PLANS FOR DAMMING THE COLORADO RIVER Engmewrtaf Pmt WiU lUclaisa 244,000 MiUe «f Uad Id M>iiw mmI Into Sossthw—>w States | By Albert B. Fall. United States Se ■ cretary of the Interior. I ' From the inception of the Reelama-1 lion Service, 1U engineers have never loet sight of the potential value of the Colorado River, the Amei^ran Nile. The Investigatory work of this (reft drainage baa in, carried on in1 connection with a dosen ot more pro-1 tects, four of which have been con ntructed, and more recent studies, ai | ouraged by direct Congreaaional ap i propriationa, and eootribationa of states and organisations, have made available mnch material of value, up ! on which definite plana have been I formulated for a comprehensive 4a | vlopment of this great water sapply ' for power and irrigation. Unlike other works for irrigation •mil power development, which are I local only In their use, the Colorado i River project comprehends the entire drainage area, embracing more than 244.000 square miles, included in *ev«n western states and Mexico. In I its entirety, the plans cannot be work ed out. during a feneration, and will involve the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars The engineer ing problems are numerous and com plicated. owing to the varied Interests of seven statea, and a foreign country nnd could never be succeaafully solv • •d by any other agency than that of the federal government. Studies for a number of year* have I entered largely about the lower ! reaches of the Colorado, where Irriga tion has made such strides during the last decade, as to emphasize the need for early construction, in order to safeguard the property of many Jjtousands of citisens now threatened by alternate flood and drought. The perils which for a sua sen men aced the Imperial Valley, through the ravages of this river, have not been forgotten. We most not forget that a similar condition may return. We are similarly aware that the Increas ing demands, due to the astonishing spread of irrigation, already have ex hausted the norinal flow, and that further progress is impossible with out storage. The paramount needs are twofold: Flood control and water _for irrigation. Far-sighted engineers long ago pre dicted just such conditions as obtain today, and have been preparing for them by assembling data, maktng bar ings for dam sites and mapping large areas of land now vacant and value less, but of enormous value when irri gated. I have before me the report of the service on theee studies, together with estimate* ami recommendations. A perusal of these plana will, I an sure create a feeling of pride In the breast of the American public akin to that which awakened when our en gineer* launched forth on the Panaata Canal. The engineers of the service pro pose the development of the Colorado River project by units—the first of which is the construction of the Boulder Canon Dam. If constructed as planned, this dam would dwarf in height any other dam on earth. At an estimated coat of MR 000.000, It would be 630 feet high, and Its storage capacity would exceed 21,000,000 acre feet; or, more than enough to cover the land surface of Vermont. Masaachuaetta, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware and Rhode Is lnnd a foot in depth. At an additional •■oat of $10,000,000 the capacity could i lie increased nearly one-third—male- j i ing the dam 781 feet above bed rock. I These figures include preliminary | worit and the completion of the dam to serve for storage purposes; and ready for but not Including cost for power plants. The calculationa of the engineers indicate a possible development of j *500,000 to 700,000 H. P., the leaaing of which to numerous cities, towns, mining camps, etc. will bear the en tire cost of the dan. Relieving the land of this heavy burden of cost greatly simplifies the irrigation pro blem, which la reduced to the con struction of leas important arid costly structures, making the per acre charge extremely reasonable. Such lands total In area 2,020,000 acres, of which about SO per cant Is In the United States, and 40 per cent In Mexico The ownership of the area in the United States is as follows; Private. IKK).000 acres; public 227, 400 acres; Indian. 146,600 acres; State 22,000 acres; railroad, 47,200 acres. The moat important construction work contempts ted in connection with j these irrigation plana win be for the Imperial district, and the extension thereto, tnrludirtk 270/100 scrse In Bast snd West Mesas, Dos Pslmas tract, and the Coacbella Valley. Per these lands, k Is propossd to divert wster at Laguna Dm, already floastructed. Into an all-Amsrissn Bevo One of Our Best Known Trade Names The Assistant Professor of Psychology of the University of Iowa, as i test of the effectiveness of advfgtising, submitted 40 trad* names and slogans to a class of 321 students. Of this number S04 recognized Bevo as the name of Anheuser-Bush's famous soft drink. In other words, only 17 out of 821 did not know Bevo, approximately five per cent Taking the country over, we believe that almost 95 per cent of the people old enough to know beverages are familiar with Bevo. It is interesting to note that but three other trade names ranked higher than Bevo. They were "Goodyear," "It Floats" and "Sunkist" When it is considered that Bevo, as compared with Goodyear tires and rubber goods, and Ivory soap, is comparatively a new product, snd that Goodyear tires and Ivory soap have been extensively advertised for many yean, it must be apparent that Bevo attained remarkably great popularity in a very short time. During the past two years Bevo has not been advertised in newspapers, maga zines and on billboards. In that same period millions of dollars were expended ad vertising the other-two products. • The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. used double-page spreads in many maga zines, and a great amount of newspaper and billboard space. Besides; there are two Goodyear companies, both manufacturing rubber products. >. Refer to the list of trade names and slogan and observe that Bevo ranks above many of the top-notch articles of commerce. For illustration, there is the slogan of the Ford Motor Co.—"The Universal Car." That slogan has appeared in every Ford advertisement for years, and in millions of pieces of Ford literature. Yet it fell far below Bevo in the list. Bevo was first advertised in 1916. In s single season it attained a greater popularity than perhaps any other article in the same length of time. It became popular from the Atlantic to the Pacific within a very few months. There was something about the name, as well as the unique quality and flavor of the beverage, that caught the popular fancy. The name Bevo zipped into the ear and stuck. The beverage delighted the palate and was remembered for its dplicious, individual flavor. The Bevo bottle, different and distinctive to prevent its being used as a sub terfuge for "cheating" also became universally popular. Here is the result of the Iowa professor's test. The figures at the right show the number of pupils, out of S21, who correctly defined the product represent ed by the trade name or slogan: B«to .804 Goodyemr, ... 7 ,...119 20-Mul* Team 280 Sunktat 806 Community PUte 891 Liberty 8U.

THE WEST-HILL CO. * Wholesale Distributors being $29,793,000. The area to be served is roughly estimated at 815,000 acrea. The diatribution system in the United Statea, including pomps, will coat $16,111,000. For power installa tion along the canal, and for Yuma, an additional expenditure of UJOIjO* will be required. The coat of water-: right and power for the 166,900 acres of unentered public lands . will b« about $92.80 an acre. Combining cost of Boulder Dam and| the irrigation and pumping system in' the valley, would require a total in vestment of nearly $100,000,000. A reasonable estimate of increase in value of 270,0»>0 acres of deaert lands j after irrigation is $800 an acre. Therefore, the increment to land values in the Imperial valley extension diatricts alone would be $64,000,000. It is extremely reasonable to assume that with abundant water guaranteed through storage and delivery In an nil-American canal, the lands at pres ent irrigated in the Imperial Valley would be worth not leas than $60 an acre above today's prices; or, an in crease of $26,760,000, as a result of this work. In these two items alone we have an increase of values of &f0.7&0,000 produced by a reimbursable invest ment of about one-half of that sum. The public landa, when irrigated will afford farms of 40 acres each for more than 4100 ex-service man. On the basis of Twmm TiBay rn porta, theee farms wW reiuin animal crops in value totaling $12^17,000. ROOSTER BATTLES GAMELY TO DEATH Meeting Supposed Enemy in Auto Windshield, He Plunges Into Fight GoMsbero, March 28.—W» read in the daily papers ef ell manner of ways used in committing suicide, bat the strangest ever on record is that of a game rooster belonging to Prank Langston, of this city. Yesterday at noon Mr. Langston drove his auto mobile np in his yard «J»d left it. His game rooster jumped upon the automobile to investigate the ear. The rooster saw himself reflected in the windshield, and at once the battle began. The rooster pecked at the sap posed enemy; it was hard, the hardest proposition the rooeter had sver struck. He was |um to the end and would not girt up the fight. When the battle was over the windshield was covered with blood, while the poor rocatcr had fought until hia head waa battarad in against the glass. Be was found dead in front | of the windshield. This rooster 1 should be buried with boaor and a, flower planted on his grave, A FaraKT Cared of Ehsawltsm "A man Irving on a farm near hare came in a short time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism.
