NITRATES FOR FARMERS
How to secure cheaper fertilizer
for farmers is one of the import
ant problems of the day, in which
all the people have a direct interest.
Much discussion of the subject has
been going on for several years, par
ticularly in connection with the de
sire of the farmers to see Muscle
Shoals devoted primarily to fertilizer
manufacture.
Even the experts do not agree as
to the practicability of making fer
tilizer at a materially reduced price,
by existing processes are being con
tinually made, so that the methods
of one year may become obsolete the
next.
This is illustrated by a recent
statement of Clarence Kirk, presi
dent of an Indianapolis gas com
pany, which is now scrapping a
1100,000 ammonia distilling appara
tus, which is to be replaced by a
$250,000 ammonium sulphate plant.
He said:
“So completely has synthetic am
monia supplanted our product that
we are forced to turn to other fields
for use of our ammonia and we have
now started making ammonium sul
phate.”
But the fact that improvements
in processes are being made from
time to time is encouraging, never
theless. It holds out the hope that
sooner or later American genius will
find a way to relieve the farmer from
the necessity of paying the present
excessive tribute to Chile for his nit
.* rates.
FOUR GREAT fEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
2l The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear» eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will brim? you full details without com
mitting you to any action,

Sooner or later this problem will
he solved, whether at Muscle Shoals
or elsewhere.
THE TELL-TALE RADIO
We will all be living in the pro
verbial “glass house,” if the scien
tists keep on discovering new means
of checking us up. With dictographs
and truth serums and a new device
said to be capable of making moving
pictures of what goes on in a room,
without the knowledge of its occu
pants, they are getting things down
pretty fine.
Besides these schemes for the in
vasion of privacy, of which evil
doers might be warned, Fred M. Tay
lor of Kansas City would probably
caution them to keep off the air—
for the radio proved to be his un
doing.
Some months after deserting a
wife in Illinois, Fred married a young
society woman in the Missouri city,
the wedding being a swell affair,
with the ceremony performed iby a
bishop. To make the occasion strict
ly up-to-date, the proceedings were
broadcasted over the church radio.
Wife No. 1 happened to be listen
ing in at her Illinois home, and as
Fred had neglected the minor detail
of getting a divorce or changing his
name, his duplicity was exposed. The
deserted wife journeyed westward.
When the judge asked the two
Mrs. Taylors to suggest a suitable
punishment for their joint spouse,
they agreed that five years would be
about right, but his honor thought
that two years in Jefferson City
would satisfy the demands of the
blind goddess, and so decreed.
There Fred will have ample op
portunity to reflect on the workers
of science, particularly the radio.
Southwestern Alaska
Lure to Californian
I
To Alaskans, the State of California
has an appeal. On the other hand cit
izens of California feel the lure of Al
aska. Distant fields always beckon.
From Alhambra, Calif., the Seward
Chamber of Commerce has received
a letter asking for certain information
whch a young chap wants, who plans
coming to Seward next spring. Need
less to say, not only the chamber’s
pliamphlet but a copy of the Seward
Gateway special Prosperity Edition is
being sent to him.
New Schedule for City
Girls Basketball Practice
The City girls basketball schedule,
which has been revised in order to
permit of more practice in antici
pation of the coming series with the
Anchorage city team, which will be
probably held in Seward the latter
part of this month, is as follows:
Monday—6 to 7.
Tuesday—No practice.
Wednesday—7 to 8.
Thursday—7 to 8.
Friday—8 on—
Saturday—7 to 8.

FAMILIES
Eight families in Oregon want to
settle on homesteads in the Seward
district, according to a letter receiv
ed in the last mail be local Chamber
Commerce. iThe letter of el.quiry
asks that information of all kinds be
forwarded them as they would like
to make the pilgrimage in the spring.
They are now on farms in Oregon and
expect to move bag and baggage, cat
tle, horses, goats, farm machinery and
household effects.
Naturally, J. P. Hannon is forward
ing them such information they desire
covering this district, including the
entire Kenai peninsula and the west
ward areas. The suggestion was also
made in Mr. Hannon’s letter that
the families first send a represen
tative to Seward and look the field
over personally before taking a def
inite step.
Life, accident, and benefit insur
ance totalling $86,000,000 has been
placed by the Studebacker Motor
Company for its employees.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the pa$t forecasts the future greatness of
the Northlland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
