SOURDOUGHS RING BELL
ON NOVEL PLAN
(By Associated Press)
Some of our “farthest North” chap
ters have again rung the bell when it
comes to thinking up novel ways for
assisting the Ked Cross.
The latest scheme, which originated”
in Fairbanks, Alaska, is the “Visiting
Basket.” and there is no reason why
this should not work out splendidly in
every community where funds are be
ing raised for Red Cross work.
Here is the plan: A large market
basket is donated and filled with other
donations, consisting of home-made
articles, fruits, jellies, jams, caps,
aprons, etc., as well as books and, in
each case the price the article should
bring is marked on it by the one mak
ing the donation.
The basket is then started out on its
visiting tour among the neighbors, and
upon its arrival at your home you may
purchase any article that meets with
vour approval, writing your name and
the name of the article purchased in
the book and placing your money in a
bank provided for the purpose.
At the same time you may add an
other article from your home with the
price, etc., marked upon it and send
the basket on to your next neighbor,
notifying him by phone that it is on
its way and to receive it with a loyal
welcome.—Red Cross Bulletin.

GERMAN UNPOPULAR
(By Associated Press)
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Jan.
31.—At the local high last semester
115 students were attending German
classes. Now there are 80, and these
are taking the courses onxy to avoid
loss of a college credit, which would
ensue, if they should drop the subject
in the middle of the year.

The natives have schools in nearly
every part of the territory, the num
ber of educational establishments for
them exceeding those for the white
people. There has been much progress
in the development of the natives in
the last few years and with the many
improvements and benefits being es
tablished for them there will be much
advancement in the near future. Mr.
W. T. Lopp is superintendent of all
native schools in the territory as well
