Washington. Dec 30 More than 100
varieties Of strawberries now grow in
Alaska according to the annual report
OF the Alaska agricultural experimen,
tai stations Of the department of ag
riculture made public here today
Because Of the ciimatical conditions
in Alaska it was a hard problem at
first to get strawberries to thrive, but
by hybridizing cultivated varieties
with 3oiiep from the wild native
Alaska strawberry. of the coast re-
gion. splendid results were obtained.
The most remarkable feature about
these hybrid plants is that they were
decidedly more vigorous than either
parent, yielding more, growing larger
and seeming suited to almost any eli.

In connection with the growing ap.
pies the experts in Alaska wrote that
only trees with crab apple blood pro

to hybridize the crab apple with the

"And have your husband away at

Jane.
Mrs. Merriwid beamed upon her.
That's the idea exactly, darling" she
said. "The great trouble with married
life, according to my observation, is
that the husband and wife see each
other nearly every day, and it takes
the cold, relentless hand of death, or
the stern decree of the divorce court,
to part them longer than a couple of
weeks at a time. OF course, dearie,
your experience is somewhat limited,
SO you'll have TO take it from me that
it's a great strain on the average mar
to keep amiable around the house.

to come home and take it out of the
partner of his joys and SORROWS. He
can throw Off the CALLING trammels OF
common decency and relax and be
himself. He can sit down to the table
in his shirtsleeves and sop his bread
in the gravy dish, and kick the cat,
and use strong language without for
feiting the regard of anybody but his
own family. He doesn't have to be
polite or considerate unless there is
company-Gnd that's what males Sc

Il quite agree with you to a certain
extent" said Mrs. Merriwid, but
you'll find that it isn't such an easy |
thing to poison him and set away
with it as you might suppose. All that
woman can safely do under the cir
cumstances is to stop taking care of
her complexion, acquire the dressing
