WHY NOT FOR ALASKA?
Several weeks ago the Secretary o’
• e Interior, Franklin K Lane, asked
Fresident Wilson for a couple of mil
! mii dollars to prepare land for the
i* turning soldiers who must go bark
to tin* soil. The idea is a splendid
one. Why not take half of this sum.
« : the entire amount, and spend it in
\ laska .
