LONDON. — England’s girl farm
laborers, who enlisted in the Gov
ernment’s Land Army during the
war to take the place of men who';
had gone to the front, have come to
stay—picturesque slouch hats, cord
uroys, leggings, white smocks, and
all. Government control of the land
army has been withdrawn, but the
new open-air woman has learned to
love her work so much that she
declines U> be “demobilized."
The fanners who have employed
efficient girls arc so anxious to re
tain them that a voluntary organ- >
ization is certain to be set up, it is
said, to keep the army together.

main on the land. The ultimate
aim - trf many is a farm of their
own.
Everywhere the girls have won
friend.-, not only because of their
good work, but by their splendid
bearing in emergencies. Several in
stances of devotion and bravery
have been rewarded with the Dis
tinguished Service Bar. which is to
the Land Army what the coveted
Victoria Cross is to the regulars.
Among the deeds cited were the
successful treatment of an animal
that had a contagious disease, the
extinguishing of a tire in a barn,
the saving of an old laborer from
death by burning, and the nursing
of a farmer's child which was suf
fering from an infectious illness.

CANDY
MOOSE MASQUERADE
IS GREAT SUCCESS
With practically every dancer of .
Xenana in mask and a majority of j
the excursionists from Fairbanks j
in festive raiment, the Moose j
masquerade, which took place at;
Union hall on Wednesday night, j
was easily the most brilliant and j
altogether successful social event
ever held in Xenana, if not in In
terior Alaska. It proved to be a
joyous starter for the New Year's
celebration and put the crowd in j
such good humor that they were!
loath to return to the everyday life,
even after two nights and an after
noon of almost continuous dancing:
' i
and marrymaking.
The excursion train, which was
arranged jointly by the Moose and j
the businessmen of the town,
brought three cars of visitors, the
majority of them from Fairbanks.;
and a number from points along j
the railroad, north of Xenana. The t
Wednesday train from the end of
steel south of Xenana also brought
a considerable number to town for,
the celebration, putting the hotels
and rooming houses to a severe test
to provide accommodations for all.
The masquerade, which was the j
big- attraction of the celebration, i
was very largely attended, the floor j
being filled to overflowing from an j
early hour in the evening until five j
o'clock yesterday morning. And Itj
was a very orderly and well-con
ducted affair, for which the local
lodgemen and Harry Shaw, who
acted as master of ceremonies, are!
deserving of great credit. After the
dancing had ceased, tu the regret!
of all. many of the dancer? repaired
to the restaurants, where they
danced and made merry until the
gray hours of the new day warned •
them to their beds.
A description or even listing of ‘
the m ny costumes in evidence at
the dar.ee is impossible. There were
altogether too many of them. But
h can be truthfully said that a.
great majority of the costumes were '
new. and many of them very origi- '
nal and beautiful.
As nearly as could be ascertained
from the committee, in the confu
sion of the dance, the awarding of
prizes was as follows:
Best sustained character, lady,
$20 in gold. Mrs. Tom Gibson, of
Fairbanks. Chinese woman; gentle
man. pair of gold cuff links and >

light, but the holder of the lucky

sonable time, after which another
