STATES MUST TAKE HOLD
AND GIVE IMPETUS TO
BACK-TO-EARM PLAN
Secretary of State Says 1t Is
One of Great Problems
That Must Be Solved.
WOULD TEACH IN SCHOOL
Course In Rural Development
and Home Economies Ought
To Be Established.
-FREDERICK C. MARTINDtLii.

LANSING, Mich, Oct 26.-Secre
tary Of State Frederick c. Martindale
who was engaged In agriculture fol
q number of years, and who at the
present time owns a large farm near
Detroit, Is of the opinion that the
back TO the farm movement should
start with the boys and girls In the
district schools OF Michigan. and he
suggests that course in farm devel
opment and home economics be added
To the curriculum of every little red
school house In the state.
As chairman of the public domain
commission and as member or the
state immigration commission, Secre
tary OF State Martindale has had
abundant opportunity to study condi
tions in Michigan at close range. Dur
ing the past few months the publlC
domain and the immigration commits
sions have redoubled their efforts 10
bring TO the attention OF the people
the opportunities that lie In walt Tor
those who are willing TO take up their
abode in the northern counties.
However. Mr.. Martindale says that
his years or experience On the farm
has taught him that another plan
must be followed If the farmer is 10
continue as the great producing agen'
cy OF the nation in years to come,
I'VE have an agricultural college
generally conceded TO be the finest
in the country, where our farmers
sons are taught to till the soil in a
scientific manner, and II is one OF
the institutions that Michigan could
least afford to be without said Sec
retary~ Martindale. But wouldn't IL
be a better scheme, and would not
the results be more effective In the
long run, IL scientific farming, or at
least some Of the rudiments, were IN
troduced into the district school and
made part OF the curriculum. together
with reading writing and arithmetic
1T has been proven time without
number that the average farmer boy
becomes dissatisfied with rural lie by
the time he Is old enough 10 leave the
parental roof. Milking cows and fol
lowing the harrow does not appear ~
many country lads and the lure OF the
big city Is stronger than the call OF
the farm. III the boy In the district
school could be interested in scientihc
farming. there would not be one hun
dred applicants for every position
open In the city.
The cost of instituting such a
course in the district schools OF Micn
igan would be trivial compared with
the benefits to be derived, Statistics
show that great majority OF the
students who enroll in the agricultur
al classes at NJ. A. c. eventually re-
, turn TO the farm. The modern
methods made many of the farm tasks
lighter, and if these principles could
be instilled In the mind OF the farmer
lad he would be eager to follow MS
early advantages with a course OF IN
struction in farm mechanics at tne
agricultural college. The same should
apply to the girls. Teach them some
thing OF home economics and domes
tic science and make them realize
that the farm is good place to live
after all" ....

MAN PLUNGES FROM OPEN

he was a chum OF Bray, and fellow
worker with him in the Gambler
Bridge a. Dock Works. declared that
Bray was alone in the room, with the
window open, when he fell. He had
been in the room for some time and
Joe" believes that he was either
walking In his sleep, or was sitting
on the window sill when he fell. He
declared that Bray was not intoxi-

ADVERTISING TALKS.

A few months ago the HOTEL
RECTOR ADVERTISED IN the
list of NEWSPAPERS printing
these advertising stories. The
first advertisement was full

until each newspaper had print
ed a total of five thousand lines
Of advertising.
THIS PLAN WAS CRITI-
CISED by representatives of
newspapers that did not get the
advertising and by some adver-
tising agencies. THE NET RE-
SUIT FROM 1T, HOWEVER,
WAS VERY SATISFACTORY.
Today the Hotel Rector is do
ing a business that justifies the
expectation that, before another
six months, 1T WILL HAVE

GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO
OPEN ALASKA COAL MINES,
SAYS REP POIhDtITER
"Bottling Up" Cry Comes From
Wall Street and Not From
People, He Declares.
ENDS INSPECTION TOUR.
Clifford Pinchot. Who Accom-
panied Him on Trip, Co
incides With His Views.

SEATTLE, Oct. 26.-The plaintiye
cries about bottling up Alaska that
have been heard during the past year
do not come from the people OF
Alaska. They come from Wall-st..
and from the allies OF Wall-st.
Ihat Is one important discovery
made by Sen. Poindexter and clifford
Pinchot just back from six weeks in
spection tour OF the northland.
The people OF Alaska, except for
the small minority either working for
or representing the big special inter-
ests are against the grab bag game
which used to be in effect there"
said Poindexter. "Alaskans are Ameri-
cans They are just as much oppos-
ed to the opening OF Alaska under the
plans OF the Morganhelms as are the
people OF any other section OF the
United States.
Alaska people showed how they
felt about conservation at their last
election, when they named Delegate
Wickersham overwhelmingly In the
face or the united opposition of the
big grabbing combines.
Now that the grabbing game has
been blocked there, reports from
Wallst. agencies are being sent out
belittling the Alaska resources They
would make us believe now that the
things they fought 80 hard to grab
are worth nothing. But the resources
up there are stupendous. In no sec
ton should monopoly be guarded
against more closely"
Il make the prediction that II for
any reason congress falls TO enact
legislation to open the coal fields in
Alaska It will not be because the con-
servationists stand In the way, but
because the same old crowd which
wants to grab Alaska will be In the
way.
Il return from Alaska more firmly
convinced than ever that the govern
ment should build a railroad and
open coal mines, primarily for sup
plying the governments own needs
oD the Pacific coast. and, secondly.
for furnishing coal at reasonable
cost to consumers"
| This plan will necessitate govern
ment ships and docks. / am more
firmly convinced than ever that this
Is the proper solution OF the ques-
! tion."
Sen. Poindexter stated that he was
prepared to fight for the passage at
the coming session of congress- Of his
BILL introduced at the special session.
which provides for government own
ership OF Alaska coal mines and
transportation facilities for bringing
II to the United States
While perhaps some people have
exaggerated unduly the probable
amount of coal In Alaska, there are
without doubt immense measures OF
coal in the Matanuska and also in
the Bertng river districts, as well as
In several other districts.
In the Yaketega district, from re-
liable accounts, there are extensive
measures of coal of great value. This
Ysketega district, as well as the
Bering river district. Is within easy
reach by railroad from Controller bay
and the accessibility OF this additional
coal field to Controller bay increases
the importance OF that harbog,~

posted city lot at the corner of Pearl
and Greeuleaf streets. and was also
ordered - remove the limbs and
bouehs which he had placed there.
The lot is posted in two places and the
city has prescribed a fine of not less
than 81. nor more than $40 for the Of
Tense and it is understood that viola
tons ef this law in Tie future will be
visited by the maximum penalty.
