Falls Overheard
From Uncle Dan

Frank Feters, young native
recently released from the local Jail
after serving a short sentence for
disorderly conduct, fell overheard
from the Uncle Dan Friday night
and was lost. The Uncle Dan left
Wrangell Friday with several ma
tives aboard bound for the west
coast. About eight o'clock in the
evening Capt. Leonard, who was
at the wheel, saw a body pitch out
the door of the forward cabin. He
Immediately gave the engineer
four bells and though the Dan
stayed around the place nearly an
hour neither the passengers nor
the crew saw anything of the un-
fortunate man. The night was
very dark ank rain falling which
made the search difficult. All Of
the natives in the forward cabin
were intoxicated from liquor that
must have been obtained in Wran-
GEL.

TIE Pynn1y HipnoHotannus.

One of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus of West Africa. 1t is just
what its name implies. pygmy hippo
potamus II is much smaller than the
common hippopotamus, being no larger
than an ordinary or fair sized hog. 1t
differs somewhat from the common
hippo in the character Of it's teeth, and
instead Of spending its time in the riv-
ers and lakes in large herds it wanders
about through the jungles singly or in
pairs, much after the manner of swine
In search of mast.

The Country Members Raise
Produce for the Town
Members to Buy.

The housewives in the eastern part Oi
Germany have originated an ingenious
system for supplying their households
with pure food Of superior quality, ac-
cording to a recent statement OF Consul
General Thackara, in the Daily Consular
. Trade Reports.
These women form themselves into
housewives associations. which are based
on the principle of cooperation and
mutual assistance between the house.
keepers of the town and the country.
The country women help raise and mar
ket the produce for the town women to
buy. Both owners of large estates and
peasants wives belong TO the country END
Of the associations. THE report says in
part:
The most interesting activity OF the
housewives associations Is the mainten-
snce, through the medium of sub-or-
ganizattons, Of market halls. The market
hall consists OF one or more rooms cen
trally located; thlther the country or pro-
ducing members bring their goods for
sale to the city or consuming members.
They must pay yearly dues of from 20
cents to 81 %. and must agree to sell all
their products through the hall, with
certain exceptions as to perishable goods
or those which are very bulky.
" Inferior goods may not be supplied
under any circumstances, and may be
sent back by the saleswoman, the by
laws of one association provide. Eggs
must always be clean and bear the stamp
Of the seller. New laid eggs must be
stamped with blue or black ink; older
eggs with red ink. All other articles
must also be stamped or otherwise
marked TO show their origin. Prepared
meats, such az sausage. ham. etc, must
be accompanied by a certificate of the
official meat inspector; fresh meat must
be stamped by the local veterinarian or
the slaughter house authorities
THE producers or sellers set the prices
at which the goods are sold IN monthly
meetings. which the city members are at
liberty to attend. The prices range, as
a rule, slightly higher than in the gen.
eral markets, but, It Is claimed, the
greater purity and general superiority OF
the articles sold are more than an Offset.
Producer and Consumer Closer.
THE work Of receiving and selling the
goods at the market hall is performed
by saleswomen, who are directed by
committee OF the association also charged
with the conduct OF the other business
of the market hall. This committee
usually consists of two city members and
one country member The cost Of main
