Great Tonti Reservoir.
Phoenix, ArizJ July 18.—The
first important step in the move-
ment to secure the building of
the Tonti storage reservoir un-
der the provisions of the Hans-
brough new lands irrigation act
has been completed. This step
consisted in executing liens to
Salt river valley water users on
every acre of land to be irriga-
ted. Each acre up to the limit
of 160 is to represent one share
of stockjn the association, which
in turn is to, contract to pay
back to the government within
ten years the construction cost
of the reservoir. Subscription
books closed last night. The
total acreage signed is 195,000
with some contracts to be re
ceived by mail. It is purposed
to develop electric power from
the dam, thus fnrnishing the
means for pumping water to
lands not irrigated by the Tonti
reservoi”.—Galveston Tribune.

How to Dress for your Photo.
Some simple facts concerning
color will be useful to many
when deciding bow to dress if
having their photographs taken.
Dart brown, dark green and
plain black material, without
gloss, will take a rich black
color. Dark drab, dark orange,
crmson and slate will take a
very rich drab color. Violet,
purple, pink and magenta will
come out very light, while pale
blue will look white, and should
be avoided.
A certain well informed
tieman says he has a
sign” that prohibition will
in Runnels county. His
nostication is based on
circumstance. A few days ago
a citizen found a swarm of bees
had taken possession of one of
the beer kegs kept in a storage
shed and carried it home,
then two more swarms
preempted homes in other
Now, he a ly s the bees by
propiat'C instinct have realized
that there will be no further use
for the kegs to hold beer so have
decided to utilize the “sweet
smellin” things for homes. Now
aside from the prediction, what
a scramble there will be to get
some of that honey when it
comes on the market with its
odor of delicious beer permeat-
ing it through and through.

A Hint from the Cleaner.
A cleaner gave away enough
of his secret for renovating ma-
terial to prove very valuable to
one woman. If gasoline, naphtha
or benzine is the cleaning fluid
the amateur cleaner finds often
that that last state of the cloth
is worse than the first. Around
the spot will be a ring of dis-
coloration that marks the stain
more thoroughly than did the
original spot. To prevent this
the fabric should be cleaned with
a piece of the same goods, the
cloth rubbed lengthwise
with the weave. Continue
bing until the material is per-
fectly dry. If these directions
are carefully followed, it is safe
to clean the most delicate ma-
terials.

Shot in Old Kentucky.
A Killeen, Texas, poet gets
the following on Kentucky.
“He was shot in oid Kentucky
where they make the mountain
daw, and the mothers feed their
babies on hot revolver stew;
where you wake up in the morn-
ing shot full of bullet holes, and
And your sole companions are
disembodied souls. He was shot
in old Kentucky where their aim
is alwnj s true, and the principal
amusement is shooting people
thronob: where the doctors use
as mediume for all the human
ills, a dozen or two of bullets in-
stead of giving pills. He was
shot in old Kentucky, where the
feuds grow on the trees, and
bullets from the rifles buzz
through the air like bees, where
the instruments they play on
when they give a dance or hop,
are the musical revolvers, and
they cal! off with a pop. I Lave
heard that old Kentucky is a fine
commonwealth; that the women
are noted for their beauty and
their health; but I’ll stay in old
Killeen, where the women cut
less figure, and the men are not
Venezuela’s revolution seems
to be having a “hot old time”
which may account for tho high
temperature in this latitude for
the last few days. Recent ac-
counts say that the government
troops are preparing to“pepper’’
the town of Bolivar. It is
probable that the natives down
there have to do a revolution
twice a week in order to save
the expense of other liver medi
cines. Some of those South
American Republics would
make a good dumping ground
for anarchists. Kentucky feud
