young journalists as contenders for

a member of the house, stood to the
end, groggy but dogged. "Ogee" was
the word on which he finally went
down, lie thought it meant something
like "oucli" and he couldn't defiue it
nor spell it. Willis' years at Ada

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent of the Spaniards
the System Was in Vogue Among
the Aborigines.
Irrigation began In Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within its boundaries became a part
of the United Slates, years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic,
writes James I!. I'reddy lu the Ameri
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down to a more
tangible date, the first irrigation work
was done—according to tradltlou—
when the I'uebio Indians constructed
the peculiar ditches about El I'uso
ami the Pecos country, which author
ities of today claim were built for Irri
gation purposes. Another tradition
coming out of the past tells that these
ditches were built by the Yuma In
dians when they were driven west
ward by the Comanches and Apaches,
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado, the roving ex
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniift-ds he found well-worked Irri- |
gation systems among the Indians;
this was in 15-10 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice of
irrigation was continued under the
Franciscan fathers, who constructed
the live mission ditches that were
found near the present city of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
the work did not slop, and grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
"In the name of the Mexican na
tion, grants him one day of water with
Its corresponding labor of land."
Weasel Leaps Into Jaws
of 'Gator for Safety
Pascagonla, Miss.—A pnrty of
hunters which has just returned
here from Bayou Casotte reports
that on Saturday the men saw an
alligator prepare to attack a
weasel, whereupon the weasel,
with remarkable alacrity, leaped
into the 'gator's extended jaws
and slid down into its stomach.
The hunters say tliey were as
tonished at the actions of the
weasel and awaited results.
Within fifteen minutes they ob
served the weasel eating its way
through the entrails of the mon
ster.
According to the hunters, the
fondness for eggs prompted the
slender animal to take its
clmnces in the alligator.
Consumers Back Textile Mills.
Gera, Germany—A great consumers'
association has been formed at this

purchase the products of the Gera tex
tile mills in an attempt to force down
prices and relieve unemployment.
