When you keep a boy interested in foot ball, baseball, tenois and the like, you lessen the chances that he will get interested in things not SO good for him.
 The Youths Companion, since it's en. largement, gives generous space to this matter of athletic training, and gets the best coaches in the country to write for it.
 How to practice to become a frst-rate pitcher, how to train for a race, how to learn the newest strokes in swimming these and a hundred other topics of the greatest interest to boys-to girls, too, for that matter, are touched upon in this important department of the Companion.
 And this is only a small part of the service which the Companion renders in any home which it enters. It has points of contact with hundred ir- terests.
 If you do not know the Companion as it is today, let us send you one or two current issues free, that you may thoroughly test the papers quality. We will also send the Forecast for 19l5
 Every new subscriber who sends S2 for the fifty two weekly issues of 1915 will receive free all ihe issues of the paper for the remaininiug weeks of 1914; also The Companion Home Cal eudar for 1915

Voters are cautioned not to toe mis- led by the clamor for party lines in the election of members for the Alaska legislature. In fact, it would be better for Alaska both now and in future years if we could forget all about party and political creeds and vote ouly for men; men who have lived long enough in the country to show that their in- terests are here, and, wherever possible men of practical business ability, who, when given charge of the affairs of the territory, will use the same business methods and the same business in tegrity tbat they have displayed in their own affairs. It is only common sense that Te need in shaping the des- tiny of Alaska, coupled with absolute integrity In this respect no one dares say a word against the men who are running on the Nou Partisan ticket.

Douglas has some dogs, and they are generally treated with respect, but it is not often that a Douglas dog IS petted like the one told about in the Youths Companion: A handsomely dressed lady rescued her fluffy pet with some difficulty from the attack of a street eur, and began to soothe and sympa thize in this manner: "You dear little thing, ycur mamma drove that ugly, big dog away, didn't she? Next time you will eat that big, naughty dog up, won't you, Tootsy wootsy? Mamma wants you just to. tear that mean old thing to pieces next time he bothers you" Three year old Irene, who had witnessed the whole affair, listened with interest to this gushing monologue. When the lady paused for breath, Irene gravely addressed tbe diminutive dog: "Little doggy, where does you pappa work?" she said.

From the annual report of the Alaska agricultural experiment stations we get a fairly good idea of the weather con- ditious throughout the territory dur ing the year 1913. The greatest rainfall was at Ketchikan, where there was 148S7 inches, not counting the month of April, which was not reported. Next comes ths town of COrdova, with 1l517 inches. Then we have Sitka, with 871S inches; Juneau, 8O.7O inches; Seward, 45.75 inches, and Nome, 10 G5 inches. At Skagway, lO91 inches fell in eight months, there being no report for the balance of the year.
