BUILD A RAILWAY
TO ALASKA !
I
Alaska should be linked with
Spokane and Chicago by rail
ways through Canada. Hun
dreds of millions should be j
spent providing Alaska with
rail and motor highways. For
strategical reasons anothei
Singapore must be built at the
confluence of Bering Sea and
the Pacific.
America will soon need al
the food supplies, pjulp, pape;
and nonferrous metals Alaska j
can supply. Alaska can pro !
duce more beef, pork, dairy !
products, eggs and poultry;
than Texas, California anc j
Oregon combined; and yet the
people of the United State.1 j
have utterly failed to appreci- !
ate its commercial or strategic
importance.
There are half a billion Ori- j
entals on the other side of Ber-;
ing Sea hungering for the
work and fortune to be so
easily won in the American and
Canadian Northwest.Their ser
vices for the production of
food, textiles and transport are
necessary to the world’s prog
ress, and yet Australia, Amer
ica and Canada deny them the
opportunity of cooperating in
the development of hundreds
of millions of acres now lying
idle.
It is well to remember that
China, reorganized by Japan,
must find an outlet for half a
billion before the century
ends; and if Europe is to be
saved from more destructive
wars, an exodus of a hundred
or two hundred millions must
take place from Europe before !

ENCOURAGING CRIME
Carelessness and stupidity on
' the part of the victims is re
sponsible for much of the
thieving and swindling which
has reached such alarming
proportions in this country,
amounting to approximate^
two billions a year.
Some of the specific weak
nesses of our “easy marks” ar<
pointed out by a leading crim
inologist, who enumerates
cashing checks for strangers
leaving automobiles unprotect
ed, cairying unnecessaryilj
large sum sof money, buyinj
real estate without seeing ii
jr investigating its title, invest
ng its stocks and schemes
without consulting a banker
trying to beat gamblers at then
>wn games, lending money
and extending credit to per
jons of doubtful honesty, and
-o on.
If people fail to exercise any
caution whatever in these mat
ters, no law or official action
can effectively protect them
from thieves, swindlers and
dead beats.
While the punishment oi
criminals often occurs, it usu
ally happens to late to do the
victim any good, so far as re
covering his money or proper
ty is concerned.
Honest people have it in their
)wn power to greatly reduce
losses from the above men
tioned causes, by merely exer
cising ordinary good judge
ment, instead of indulging in
reckless practices which en
courage crime. — Exchange.
-A
EVOLUTION OF
BUTTER-MAKING
“The Pasing of the Dairy
Maid” would be an appropri
ate title for the survey showing
that the picturesque young
woman so long associated with
the production of butter is rap
idly disappearing from the
dairy farms.
Instead of the old-fashioned
dasher churn which was fol
lowed later by the barrel va
riety, there is found today the
milking machine, cream separ
ator and creamery.
“Farm butter” is still looked
upon in some sections as su
perior to that produced in
the creameries. But the nation
al, consumption of creamery
butter now exceeds that of the
dairy maid’s manufacture.
Probably the greater demand
for the-creamery product is
due more to new distribution
requirements and the benefits
of mass production than to
any superior quality of that
product. “Farm butter” will
always be considered a deli
cacy, and the rarer it becomes
the more it will be prized by
the epicure.
This change has not, howev
er, worked a hardship upon
the dairy farmer His daughters
no w go to the city to work in
stead of remaining at home to
become dairy maids, and he
j sells his milk to the creameries
at a greater profit than his
butter ever netted him.lt is sig
nificant that the dairy farm
has not been crying for “farm
relief” and that dairy product
ion has increased many times
over during the period ir,
which the creameries were
! taking over the butter-making
I business.

Just for Fun
Strange, isn’t it, that almost
every wife seems to think her
husband should be able to
combine the qualities of an ad
venturer and a saint?
Take the word cute out of
the vocabulary and most flap
pers would be even dumber
than they are now.
If the girls don’t wear’m
longer this winter there’s go
ing to be a lot of “knee
monia.’’-Paris (Mo.) Mercury
We’ve though for some time
that there ought to some leg
islation covering such things.
Which recalls the admonition
' that Percy Hammond, then
! dramatic critic on the Chicago
Tribune, once uttered to a firm
; of musical comedy producers.
; “The human knee,” observed
i Percy, “is a joint, and not an
j entertainment.”— Publishers

“It was nice of Nick to buy
his wife a new washing ma
chine.”
“Yes, the old one made so
much noise he couldn’t sleep.”
You can tell when your cold
is getting better. You no longer
wonder why you married that
woman.
The earth is flat and its pro
' ducts insipid to the person who
has had a kink put in his as
pirations.
The average person can usu
ally think of any number of
i clever things to say when it is
too late to make an impres- 1
sion. ,
i
A noted surgeon says the
public has been humbugged as
to the efficacy of monkey
glands. Made monkeys, in fact
Bill Jones started home in his
Lizzie,
Liquored and feeling quite
dizzy;
On the highway, somehow, he
met up with a cow;
And his friends are now ask
ing how-izzie.
What has become of the old
fashioned home that used to
boast of a good-sized pantry,
Instead of a “cooler" built in
the wall as a refrigerator?”
NEW WAY OF FISHING
Bootlegger (to man fishing):
“Have you had any luck?"
Man: No.
Bootlegger :Try some of this
on your bait.
Man pours something from
bottle over the worm on the
hook and lowers it into the
water. Soon a great splashing
about is heard and the line is
jerked up. The worm had a
strangle-hold on a catfish, and
was punching him in the eye
with his tail.
The hen-pecked husband was
returning from his wife’s
funeral, and as he walked up
the front steps to his house, a
dislodged slate fell from the
roof and landed on his head.
“Gracious me,” he exclaimed.
“Sarah has i*eached Heaven al
ready."
“Why does the bank have
iron bars across the windows?”
asked the little boy of his
father.
“Hush,” was the answer “that
is so the cashier will get used
to them.”
Oh, well, it may be that in
time dining rooms may be
eliminated in the future build
ing of homes on account of the
breakfast room, but they’ll
never be forgotten.
“Did it require much effort
to get a fur coat out of your
husband?”
“Oh, no— I got it without
half crying.”
Teacher—“Tommy, what is
one-half of one-tenth?”
Small boy —I don’t know ex
actly teacher; but it can’t be
very much.”
If you’re paying all your bills
you’re doing pretty well.
Boss: “Did you see the nasty
look that salesman gave me?”
