STRAWBERRIES
GROWN EASILY
IN COLD ALASKA
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Contrary to
currants, strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries and cranberries are pIen-
tiful in Alaska and as determined by
soil, climate and topogra phical condi-
tons, farming is possible en- approx
mateIy 100000 square miles Of terri
tory.
Stranger yet to those who picture
Alaska as an ice-1oclzed, frozen coun-
try, is the statement made public by
the department of agriculture today
that the mean annual temperature of
sitka is "about the same as that Of
Washington, .. c."
Varieties Of wheat, oats rye, bar
ley, potatoes and many other vege-
tables have matured every season
since the department started its work
at its two northernmost experiment
stations says the report,
One of these stations is within IS
miles Of the Arctic circle, the other is
in the inner and two others are sit
uated on the southeastern and south
western portions of the territory.
Chicken raising is also proving fea-
sibIe" the statement continues, land
it has been positively demonstrated
that fora ge crops may be grown IN the
southwestern and central portions as
well as vegetables The department
further asserts that "a great number
OF farm products are shipped In that

Judge Speer Declares
District Attorney With
the Liquor Interests

Continued From First Page)
he was district attorney and I did not
feel that Mr.. Alderman was quite faith
full in the naval stores cases"
Judge Speer also explained the loan
made to him several years ago by
H. NJ. King, former clerk OF the United
States court at Savannah.
II had just come out Of politics
four years in congress-" he testified
and I was badly in debt. Mr. King
sent me word he had some money
which he would lend ms at a low
rate of interest. I accepted and gave
my note. Later when Mr.. King, who
became peeved with me, made demands
for payment of the notS I paid it
promptly. This money did not, OF
course, come from the registry of the
court"
OF MALEVoLENT MIND.
Judge Speer declared that John NJ.
Barnes, former marshal in the jurists
court, was a man of r1a1evolent mind
THE day Barnes came TO me and
spoke of what he had obtained in a
receivership fees, I quoted TO him from
the life Cf Lord Chatham, saying and
he held up his hand and none of 1t
struck referring to money handled by
Lord Pitt, a paymasteT in the British
army.
Barnes distorted this, saying in his
testimony before this committee that
I remarked well, what is there in il
for me?'"
Regarding the charge that he was
absent from his district 4 longer por-
ton of each year than the law pre-
scribed, Judge Speer said he held open
court on an average Of 200 days a year
and was entitled TO 4 vacation. He
added that he sometimes vent to North
Carolina because of hay fever from
which ne suffered.
In explanation OF the complaint
made by several witnesses that the
money derived from the sale of the
HUFF estate in Macon, had been dePos-
tied in a Macon bank Of which his
brother-i law, Cecil Morgan, is presi-
dent, Judge Speer said:

Judge Speer, and I have never VIC

The witness stated that his admins r.

kindness had been misconstrued by
some as arbftrariness.
Chairman Webb questioned Judge
Speer in regard to various fees which

Jar Opener.

A hint to housewives: Old scissors
make a very serviceable fruit jar
opener. Anyone who has struggled
with the obstinate top of fruit jar
will appreciate any little aid to the
opening process, and here is one: Take
an old pair of scissors and grind the
broken ends concave, SO as to fit the
side of the Jar top when the scissors
are open. Then bore holes near the
end Of each ground prong. A stout
piece of wire should then be inserted
in the holes and fastened securely so
that it will just reach around the Jar
top when the scissors are held open.
Now, by pressing the shears together,
the wire will take a death grip on the
fruit-jar cover, so that 1t Is easily
removed. The device also comes in
handily in the canning season, when
the housewife wants to screw her tops
town firmly.

New Bird Of Prey.

A Wirral gamekeeper little while
ago was feeding his hand-reared
young wild ducks when an aviator,
bound for Parkgate, passed over at
no great height. Away went the flap

terror, the younger and feebler ones
scuttling to the hedges and those
which could fly making for the river.
When the aeroplane had passed and
the field was quiet again some forty
birds struggled back. but three days
later there were still as many miss

LADIES'! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring back color, gloss and thickness
with Grandma's recipe OF Sage
and Sulphur.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about so cents large bottle, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus avoiding q
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.

WIND USED TO MAKE MUSIC
investigation Has Disclosed Just How
the Pressure Required May Be
Ascertained.

In an interesting article in the Phil.
osophical Magazine, Mr.. Foord refers
to Doctor Stones table of wind pres.
sure required to play various notes of
the scale on various instruments. The
table indicates that as the notes rise
higher in the scale the air pressure
necessary to produce them increases
with most wind instruments, although
not with all, In the clarinet, for ex-
ample, the pressure decreases from
the low notes to the high ones, vary
ing from Is inches of water to 8
inches.
Mr.. Foord repeated these expert.
ments on the clarinet and saxophone,
playing the whole range Of notes first
loudly and then softly. For the clari-
net it is found that the pressures
fall as the notes rise, agreeing with
Doctor Stones table, although the in
verse law holds good for the oboe, bas.
soon, horn, cornet, trumpet, euphon-
ium and bombardon.
With the saxophone 1t Is found that
the pressures corresponding to notes
at the beginning and end of the reg
lister are equal, the pressure rising to
a maximum at the note D about half.
way through the scale.
