FARM FOR EVERY
SOLDIER IS URGED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.—
That every Un:ted States soldier,
when he returns from the war,
should be given an opportunity to
become the owner of a farm, is a
plan proposed here today by Sen
ate:- Warren'. G. Harding of Ohio.
That providing land for these men
who have served the nation be hut
a sort of well laid plan for convert
ing the greatest possible number of
c.t:zer.s into productive farm own
er;:. is further urged. Senator Hard
ing believes that the Government
can no longer avoid action on the
vital and fundamental problem of
proper land distribution, and that
action will be forced by the trend j
of public thought that will grow;
out of the war.
“Every thoughtful man realizes,”
raid Senator Harding, “that the
proper distribution of the land is
the very basis of national well be
ing. Tha land should, as far as
poosible, be in the possession and
ownership of the men who work
it. A nation of owners of small
farms which support sturdy fami
lies is the ideal. The magnificence
of France, when the supreme test
came, has been largely due to the
sturdy folk of iier farms. These
were the people who paid the price
of the loos of the Fronco-Prusoian
War. They have been the strong
defenders of France in many emer
gencies. But for the solution of
the land question and its division
into small tracts in the ownership
of the people, France would prob
ably have cor.sed to exist before
this.’
IN GREAT BRITAIN
LONDON, England, Jan. 14.—
T'ug Controller of Coal Mines has
granted a war wage of Is. 6d. per
day to all men and women over 16
yenr3 of ago employed about the
mines, and 9d. per day for those
under 16. Some time ago the Min
ers Federation put forward a claim
for a national advance of 25 per
cent on present earnings, and the
war wage now granted by the Coal
Controller is the result of negotia
tions which have since taken place
with the miners’ representatives.
The advance is retrospective as
from January i, and it includes all
persons employed about the mines
is considered specially satisfactory.
An inquiry into the strike of Bel
fest tenters was held, recently by
Mr. Vesey Knox, who has now con
ceded an advance of 9s. per week
to all men employed on or in con
nection with munition work. Be
sides throwing thousands of opera
tives out of work, the strike hi3
seriously hindered government
work, and it is to b© hoped that
both employers and employed will
bo ready to accept Mr. Knox’s de
cision.
The National Association of
Theatrical Employees in. consulta
tion with the chief industrial com
missioner have come to terms with
the representatives of the principal
companies and syndicates controll
ing most of the variety theaters.
The recommendation as to the for
mation of joint standing industri
al councils, put forward in the
Whitley report, has been acted
upon, and a strong joint commit
tee representative of thatrical inter
ests has been formed. It is hoped
that the committee will be perma
nent, so that, in the event of any
future discontent arising, the ma
chinery will be in existence for
dealing with it before serious
trouble occurs.
Reasonable prices, and first class
workmanship at the Nome Tailoring
Company.
GORKY FOR
ROLSHEViKI
PETROGRAD, Jan. 14.—Maxim
Gorky the famous Russian novelist
and publisher of one of the leading
dailies in this city has swung to
th3 support o/ the Bolsheviki, and
declares the Bolsheviki are an ex
tremely important element in Rus
sian democracy. Gorky reproaches
for having * Kerorsky regime for
mobilizing Cossacks against the
Bolsheviki, and declares that Ker
venaky should have instantly sur
rendered his powers as minister
president and clear the track for a
purely democratic government with
u, motot of “Peace, land, and a
constituent assembly.”
Gorky adds that Kerensky’s at
tempt to oppose such a government
has been a crime of the greatest
dimensions.

Mr. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sir:—We have studied tl'.o Commercial business of Alas
ka as thorouglitly as possible from this distance, to sea what
products it would be avisablc to pack of which wo have an
abundance, and yet hard to get .o you in its natural slate.
We are about the largest handler.} of Poultry, Eggs ar.d But
ters west of the Rockies, aud there is no reason in our mind,
why wo should not get in touch with you direct.
Mooting with a great deal of difficulty i:i securing refrigater
space- for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea of Canning
the fresh killed chickens.
Wo gather the live chickens at our Poultry and ilgg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they arc kil
led and droosed.
The chickens is then cut in four parts and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which rotains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a ocm
pleto whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
Wo are also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No. I 1-2 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.
