Educating the East and the National Irrigation Movement
The Ninth National Irrigation Congress lauded its eight year West roots and its shift toward national policy. Eastward outreach by Los Angeles St. Paul and Chicago merchants expanded a national coalition of almost a thousand firms. The movement promises broad prosperity, forest preservation, flood storage, and a civilian-led drive to settle arid lands. It is nonpartisan, supported by major parties, and urged under the motto Save the forests and store the floods. Also inserts ads for Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and De Wit's Witch Hazel Salve.
