of Knik. Alaska, at the head of Cook \

house is supplied with a fagpole.
And they are right about the patriot

are not for flags. but for meat.
Knik is on the trail to Iditarod q. I'd

summer the sled dogs and the flies are
so thick that it is impossible to keep
meat in ordinary caches near the

There IS no butcher shop in Knik and

rhe LuxurY OF SUGAR.

Sugar was considered an article Of
luxury in Europe until tea and coffee
became usual articles Of diet Sugar
was then used to sweeten these bev-
erages and so gradually came to have
prominent part in the daily diet. Be
fore the days of sugar much more
meat was eaten and the drinking of
alcoholic beverages was much more
common. The fair maiden who could
not with impunity drink pint of ale
for breakfast was unusual. Perhaps,
in spite of the fact that most of us
eat too much of it, sugar is blessing.
Even oversweetened coffee and cereal
covered with sugar sound more bene-
fetal than a pint of ale and half
pound of beef for breakfast Boston

Warships and the Canal


Have Jap warships same right in
Panama as ours?" asks the Burling-
ton Free Press. Or, in other words,
will Japan be permitted to send it's
warships through the Panama canal
free of cost If American fighting
craft are passed through the locks
without paying for the passage? And,
of course, for Jap may be substituted
the name of any other nation which
would want TO send its war craft
through the canal.
This is a phase of the tolls argu-
ment that bewilders Americans. Even
if this country repeats the Panama
act and gives TO the merchant marine
of other nations the same privileges
rs our own would enjoy, 1t is difficult
to see why ships Of war should be in
cluded in such 4 magnanimous grant.
The canal has been heralded as a vast
asset to our naval strength. and the
strategic argument was one that
helped to convince this nation that it
ought to so to the great expense of
digging the ditch. II our warshlps
are to enjoy no special advantage
from this work. what Is going to be
gained from our ownship?
The canal is American. 1t was
American money that made it pos
sble American brains overcame
the countless obstacles that lay in
the path of the enterprise. Is there
to be no American gain? 1t may be
well enough not TO attempt to secure
this gain by granting what would sub
stantially be subsidies to our coast.
wise Shipping interests, but why
should we handicap our national de-
Tense by any foolish arrangement
such as putting foreign battleshlps
on the same footing as our?
But it isn't so serious as some
might think. If American battle
ships are assessed it will really
make no difference, so far as tolls
are concerned. 1t will be the gener-
al funds of the government that will

also run the navy. If our ships are
to nay tolls it will be like taking
money out of one pocket and putting
1t back in another, a foolish process.
since it accomplishes nothing and
represents a lot of waste motion.
But in war time. are Jap battle
ships TO have the same rights as
ours? Hardly. Such q proposition
would be foolish. The canal is ours
and we will use it in times Of ex.
termity the way we see best. And it
won't be best to let our enemies
ships have the same rights as ours.
That is automatic. The American
people have not come to such a state
of senility. and what we would do in
war time would not depend on what
Congress may do now. Necessity
would dictate to us and we would re
spond accordingly.-St Adams Mes

BEWARE OF MAINE POTATOES
Farmers Should Purchase Seed
Stock in the Original Bags


Washington March 30.-Potato
growers who purchase seed potatoes
from Aroostook County, Maine, are
warned by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture to accept only
stock delivered in the original bags
bearing the certificate of the Maine
State Department of Agriculture to
the effect that the potatoes are free
from powdery scab.
This disease. against which the
quarantine was laid last December
on account of its prevalence in Eu-
rope and in portions OF Canada. has
recently been found in q few places
in northern Maine. The State Of
Maine has organized an effective /,
spection service to exterminate the
disease and prevent its spread TO
other states, and Maine potatoes are
now being inspected and sorted more
carefully than ever before. No scab
by potatoes are allowed to be ship
ped for any purpose, and no potatoes
intended for seed stock can receive
n certificate unless they are free
from all suspicion of having beeL
grown on the same farm or having
been stored in the same warehouse
with scabby potatoes. The special
certificate OF the Maine authorities
IS. therefore. considered to be an
adequate assurance that the stock is
safe, but potatoes which do not have
this certificate are open TO the sus.
picion tina. they may be repacked

dairy department of State college in
cooperation with the state dairyman's
association and the state board of
immigration. The three railroads
will work together In connection with
the college to make the train a sue
cess.
Hog cholera discussions have been
added to this train as a valuable feat
ure, and undoubtedly will be a great
drawing card in the territory through
which this train will pass. AS be-
fore, there will be lectures on dairy
ing, silos, forage crops, etc. Repre-
sentatives of the college dairy herds
will be carried on the train, including
the world famous cow, College Belle

WAR CONDITIONS
SUMMARY PREPARED By THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. Especial: Rus
STA is the only one of the belligerent
countries to claim in late reports
anything akin to a decisive victory
for her arms. In East Prussia the
German left wing is said to be re-
treating precipitately toward Biala
and Lyck, and in Poland the Aus
trians are reported as fleeing toward
the frontier. Near Kielce the Rus
slams declare they captured $1,000
men.
To the contrary, however, the Aus
TRANS say they have been able to
hold the Russians at Lysa Cora. in
south Poland, while their troops
made a wheeling movement to an
other line of defense.
Along the battle front in Belgium
and France probably the most am
bilious feats at arms are occurring in
the region around Ypres, upon which
the Germans fell back from the north
on account of their failure to pierce
the allied lines and work their way
down the coast. Reinforcements are
being brought up here by the Ger
mans, and an attack in force is ex-
pected to take place shortly on the
allies in a renewed attempt to take
Calais. Both sides make claim to
only slight advantages at various
points along this line.
A Belgian official report says that
the allies troops. reconnoitering as
far as Lombaertze. on the User front,
near Schoorbakke. found no Germans
but that IAN almost unbroken column
of the enemy of all arms, extending
from Leke to Thorout, has marched
in an easterly direction"
The allies are hard after the
Turks. Russian troops have crossed
the Turkish frontier and taken eigh
WIS III duultlOu tue Anglo
French fleet still is bombarding the
forts of the Dardanelles and a British
cruiser has thrown shells into a
Turkish Red sea port in Arabia.
That Turkey has accepted as final
the refusal of the allies to accept her
apology for the bombardment of Rus
sian ports and ships is indicated by
her recalling her diplomatic repre-
sentatives from the capitals of the
triple entente powers. Several Turk
ish cabinet ministers have resigned
because of lack of sympathy with the
war party in the government.
Berlin reports that the Persian
minister in Petrograd has demanded
that Russia recall the Russian forces
now in North Persia.
The British admiralty has learned
unoficially of the naval fight be-
tween German and British cruisers
off Chile, but declines at present to
accept the German version of it. A
big German trawler has been sunk by
"a mine in Danish waters.

G SULLIVAN
Illinois Politician Formerly a Resi-.
dent of South Dakota.

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 6.-ROger
Sullivan, democratic candidate for
the senate from Illinois, formerly
lived in Aurora county, South Da-
kota, and emigrated from there back
to Chicago, where he acquired ma
tional prominence.
Charles j. Anderson, jr., of Sioux
City, formerly of Plankinton, said
that Mr.. Sullivan came to South Da-
kota in 1881 and filed on a home
stead about ten miles from Plankin-
ton. Later he left the claim and
worked in the town as a day laborer,
doing all sorts of odd jobs.
I'm about 1885 Sullivan left
Plankinton and went to Chicago
said Mr.. Anderson. His first work
there was in an iron foundry, where
he soon became foreman. 1t was not
long until his political influence was
felt and he was made an official In
a pOOrhouse. From that time he
controlled a large vote and secured
the Chicago gas franchise, which
gave him a fortune"

sumed the aspect of a prolonged

ment for Paris.
1t is impossible to GO far outside
the gates of the metropolis without
meeting companies of soldiers. Sen
tries are stationed at every cross
road, little bridge, railroad switch
and station. To relieve the monotony
of duty they take pleasure in chal-
longing the casual passerby. If he
