During th>} year 1919. water was available from government ditches for about 1,636,009; acres on 39,000 farms, of which about | 1,200,000 acres were irrigated; in addi-| tion water was supplied under contract | for about 1,000,000 ucres outside the government projects.

Owing, how- ever, to the slump in prices of all farm products and livestock the total values are likely to show a decline over those of 1919. In general the crops on all projects were excellent, the season hav« ing been a favorable one.

Old Cotton had a bug that he could reform the world. He couldn't even make his daughter Annabel stop wearing one piece bathing suits and doing real one-man stunts. The old Tabbies of her Dad's Purity League were shock- ed at her, While they were holding a>meeting to make the art societies put B. V. D.’s on the statues in the parks. Annabel slipped away to the old swiminiag, pool. In her bathing suit that left nothing to the imagin- ation, she begen some submarine stunts that would make the Ger man navy turn green with envy. A lono fisherman with plenty of bait — both in a can and bottle— was trying to get up a flirtation with a suspicious bass, Annabel, be- neath thé water, saw the hook, and what she did to that lone fisherman 4 was plenty. The stunts this human mermaid did made the fish so jeal- ous they left the stream. Annabel wanted a cave man for her hubby, but Papa picked out 4 Molly codd'e szmed- Willie. Imagine a red-blooded git fallipg for. cream puff lizard Hke Willie. It couldn't be done. But Willie had ideas, He decided to become a cave man and supplant his rough riding rival Mortimer in the affections of the Athletic Annabel.” Willie hired Buck Nelson, a pug by profession but a pirate otherwise, “Treat her rough,” advised Buck, Willie turned skipper and™ kidnapped Annabel. Buck was his captain. Buck, having given Annabel’s perfect 36 the once ever, had a yen for her himself. When Willie's’ schooner was far away from land, Buck went after the lady. But she was some nifty scrap per herself, She gave Buck the bat tle of his life—first aboard the’ yacht then underneath the water. Willie Joined in the fray, He. and Annabel gaye Buck the trimming of his life. Then Willie took Annabel back to Honolulu where her Dad was and told him all. Dad said, “Bless you. my children.” Now Willie who is called “Bill,” wears the pants and Annabel is happy. ALSO BIG.COMEDY LYRIC TWO DAYS ONLY TODAY AND.
