Matanuska to
Play Commission
The Matanuska baseball team had
a meeting last night and perfected a
reorganization of the club, C. S.
Jones, the hustling assistant superin
tendent of construction, being elected
manager. The team will arrive in
town tomorrow forenoon, accompa
nied by a big bunch of rooters, to try
conclusions with the commission team
tomorrow afternoon. Manager Jones
says his team is out to win. Hunt,
formerly with the City team, will be
>n the box for the Matanuskas, while
Moot, also formerly of the City ag
gregation, will catch.
The line-up, as telephoned to The
Times, will be as follows:
Moot, catcher; Austin, third base;
Mclvor, shortstop; Henry, second
base; Kearns, first base; Hunt, pitch
er; Hill, left field; Sheets, right field.
The Commission team will be com
posed of about the same line-up as in
previous games, save that another
pitcher will supplant Costello, who
has gone with the All-Anchorage
team.
The Matanuska bunch will bring
in all kinds of money to wager on
the result. The boys will give a big
dance in the Matanuska pool hall to
night, the Sullivan orchestra supply
ing the music.
DANCE ON TONIGHT
AT LABOR UNION HALL
The announcement that the Satur
day night dances of the Alaska Labor
union are to be made a regular feat
ure of the entertainments of the win
ter will be received with pleasure by
' the crowd of dancers who have at
i tended the several dances given in the
J Labor hall since the opening night.
In fact it is the'splendid success of
! these former dances which has led
i the committees in charge to the de
eision to make them a regular feat
j ure.
They also announce that the side
walk has been completed to the en
I trance of the hall, thus doing away
| with the discomforts attached to walk
I ing to and from the hall.
Music for dancing is furnished by
1 the same orchestra which played last
Saturday night and which met the
popular approval of the dancers.
COMEDY PROGRAM AT
THE EMPRESS TONIGHT
Three comedies and three dramas
constitute the program of fun on the
screen at the Empress this (Satur
day) evening. The titles alone are
sufficiently suggestive to the fun
seeker. They are: “Colonel Heeza
Liar,” Pathe Animated Cartoon, in
same reel with “Old Andalusid”
(France), ‘Tat O’Malley and Gladys
Hulette” in the sensational three-act
feature, “King of the Wire,” “Ham
and Bud” in “The Liberty Party.”
“The Boob and the Magician” closes
this very interesting Saturday even
ing program.
Sunday and Monday brings to the
Empress the fascinating photoplay,
“The Lure,” in which is shown a
charming girl, Charlotte Baker, who
meets a promising youth, Paul, with
whom she becomes infatuated. Not
being able to resist his declarations of
love, she decides to elope with him,
only to find that she has been bitterly
deceived. Complications and clever
detective work are features prominent
throughout the play, and ends as we
all like to see it, with Paul getting
his punishment and Charlotte restor
ed to her rightful position. The ever
interesting Pathe News precedes “The
Lure.” 8-12-lt
Presbyterian.
Morning worship at 11a. m. Even
ing worship at 8. Sabbath school at
12. The morning service has been ten
dered to the Episcopals, who will have
entire charge of the service. At the
evening service the pulpit will be oc
cupied by Mrs, Boole, of New York
| city. Mrs. Boole is a speaker of rare
ability and the congregation will be
afforded a great opportunity in listen
ing to this splendid type of American
womanhood.

Success on the Farm Demands a
Knowledge of Agricultural Science
1
By Dr. PHILANDER PRIESTLY CLAXTON. United States
Commissioner of Education
--<j
THE successful fanner of today must know underlying principles;
must not only know what to do, but why it is done. This knowl
edge can be had only through the schools.
We should have vocational efficiency without decreasing the degree of
culture. Culture does not come through studying any one subject. 1
have known a gentleman farmer and a highly cultured blacksmith. It
is the result of an attitude toward life. I have no sympathy with the
philosophy that thinks of the man who handles clods ns being himself a
clod THOSE PERSONS WHO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY MUST
BE CITIZENS—MUST HELP DIRECT THE AFFAIRS OF THE
NATION.
Every man who has a piece of land must know his land—know its
possibilities. Whatever knowledge a farmer has should he applied to his
farm. The farmer must know a soil—know its chemistry. He must
know how to select seeds, how to plant, cultivate, protect against insect
pests and diseases and how to harvest the crop.
The farmer must he a good machinist, a pretty good engineer, an
architect and a good accountant and bookkeeper.
The farmer’s wife should know these things, as her husband may be
taken awav and the responsibility of the farmer and care of the children
thrust upon her. She should know how to feed the children a balanced
ration.
The value of land is based upon the use man can make of it.
IT IS INTELLIGENCE THAT MAKES RAW MATERIAL VALUABLE.
NATIVE ABILITY, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ACQUIRED ABILITY ARE
THE FACTORS THA *■ MAKE MATERIAL WEALTH.
