 Most Of the financial magnates and industrial workers overlook Alaska in making calculations. Since two thirds Of the unappropriated lands in he United States in contained with in the boundaries of Alaska, and since the territory is almost as large as a third of the United States pro per, 1t should begin to figure in ua. Jonal industrial questions.
 Alaska is already known for its riches in mineral, fisheries and turs, and IS just beginning to be recOg. RIzed for its agricultural possibil- iues.
 The Haines Pioneer Press tells about a strawberry patch which yields to lrs owner a gross income Of S2,I6O per acre per year. By sub tracing $500 which the owner claims Is the cost of raising the straw berries per acre. there would be a net profit Of SI,5OO per acre. At the rate of a 10 per cent investment the land would be worth Sl5,oOO per acre. Sounds big. but Alaska is the place for big things.

parents.
One finds children in the restaur.
ants and children In the music halls.
The pleasures of father and mother
are shared always with the nursery.
To go junketing without the children
would appear to the Belgian not only
selfish but dull. His happiness is the
happiness of his children. He sees the
circus half with his own eyes and halt
with theirs. The toyshops and book
shops in Brussels tell of the para
mount part played by the child. The
happiness of this people is the pleas
ure of domestic:ty.

crowding the churches where masses
are being celebrated for the dead. A
