U. S. MERCANTILE DISPLAYS

is the show window of the U. S.

Rhode Island Red hens are on dis

some adults) have never seen live
chickens before.

of 27 baby chicks which were
flown in last spring for Mr. and
Mrs. John Fults and have been
raised during the summer in a
brooder which was constructed
from the top of an old jeep, and
placed outside their residence.
They state that the chickens were

largely in the Southeast, because
it now has moved to rail belt in
, western Alaska.
Rivers asked amendment of the
Jones law prohibiting foreign ves
; sels from carrying passengers and
freight between American ports.
He said that under that law and
| the ship passenger act of 1886 the
! Canadian vessels could bring pas
sengers into Alaska ports from
Canada but cannot carry passen
gers from one Alaskan port to an
j other. This prohibition, he said, in
jured the Territory’s tourist busi
j ness.
Under the laws, he said, a mid
west shipper could send an order
of goods to Vancouver, from
where it could be carried to the
purchaser at Seattle in a Canadian
vessel.
On the other hand, he contin
ued, the same shipper could not
send freight via Prince Rupert,
Canada, and have it carried from
there to Alaska by a Canadian
vessel.
He asked that the same privil
eges be given Alaskan purchasers
to use the foreign ships as is given
a purchaser on the west coast.
He urged the committee to ex
tend the interim plan, with
amendments he suggested, for an
other year.
Previously Governor Greuning
of Alaska and Rep. Jackson <D.
Wash.) clashed when the former
charged the Alaska Steamship and
Northland were a monopoly serv
ice to Alaska which injured the
Territory.
Jackson said many charges had
been made against the Seattle
company that were without basis
and that when the interim agree
ment to serve Alaska was drawn
those companies and Alaska
Transportation were the only
companies which showed any in
terest in giving service to the Ter
ritory.
The committee recessed its
hearings until next January.

WASHINGTON, James J.
•‘Puddler Jim" Davis, who came to
America as the seven-year old son
of poor Welsh immigrants and
rose to become secretary of labor
and Senator from Pennsylvania,
; died early Saturday of a kidney
ailment.
Davis had been sick for several
months, and had been in nearby

September. He was 74 years old.
Largely self-educated, Davis
! started to work in a Sharon, Pa.,
steel mill as his father’s helper
when he still was in his early
teens.
When he was 16, he became a
steel “puddler”—a job of which
he was proud for the rest of his
j life, and which earned him his
nickname.
He was appointed secretary of
labor by President Harding ;n
1921. Nine years later, after serv
i ing under Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover, he quit to accept appoint
ment as Republican Senator from
