THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



suddenly ceased writing. For a quarter 

 of a century he was proof against the 

 blandishments of editors, but Avithin a few 

 weeks he has completed a new series of 

 humorous stories which show him at his 

 best. Tales of Old Turley. which will 

 appear in early numbers of Ike Saturday 

 Evening Post, are wonderfully droll stor- 

 ies of the quaint characters in an old- 

 fashioned country town before the war. 

 Local politics, school committee fights, 

 church squabbles and women's clubs lend 

 themselves admirably to Max Adeler's 

 humorous touch, and form the basis of 

 some of the cleverest stories that have 

 been written for many a day.

THE FORUM. 



The July Forum is opened by important 

 articles on political problems of the day. 

 The first, by Mr. W. C. Jameson Reid, is 

 "A Plea for the Integrity of China." as 

 against the attempts of European powers 

 to secure its partition for their own advan- 

 tage. Congressman H. S. Boutell shows 

 the bearing of ''Tho Sale of Texas to 

 Spain" upon the question whether all ter- 

 ritory acquired by the government be- 

 comes ip so facto "an integral part" of the 

 United States. Other political articles 

 are contributed by Oscar W. Underwood, 

 who protests against "The Corrupting 

 Power of Public Patronage." and by Mr. 

 Walter Macarthur. who gives an account 

 of ''The Movement for a Shorter Working

 of European and English enterprise to 

 stimulate this country to pay greater at- 

 tention to ''Higher Technical Training."

 that in many cases the object intended by 

 this system is not fulfilled. Mr. R. Clark 

 points out "Certain Failures in School 

 Hygiene." which be has noticed in various 

 schools in several States. Prof. A. D. F.
