 On Dan ty good story on Dan Callahan Callahan these days.
 Dan. you know, is run ming for Territorial senator as an independent candidate. and natural ly the first thing that his friends think of when they meet him is something in relation 10 his candi- dacy.
 Only a few days ago, Dan was talking politics with one of the old timers of Fairbanks. when the lat fer said
 T understand that a man told you the other day that he wouldn't vote for you
 Who was he?" asked Dan.
 Hes fellow down on the creeks that knows you pretty well He says that he told you that he wouldn't vote for you because you couldn', make a speech, and that you con fessed it."
 Dan asked for more information on the matter, and his friend continued. You told him. so he says. that you didn't have to make speeches when you get to the legislature. be cause they have speaker of the house who does all the speaking and will make the speeches for you" Dan says the joke is an old one but il is good. even if it has been applied to him
 Plants Planting potatoes in the Potatoes fall. is the innovation In Fall that is practiced by
 George Wilson. who is doing some farming at the Cinema Hot Springs Mir. Wilson came down to Fairbanks for supplies. and while here. early last week, he explained to some friends how he plants pota- toes in the fall. and has them grow ing early in the spring.
 Of course 1t must be remembered that what Mir. Wilson does. cannot he accomplished near Fairbanks, for here the potatoes will freeze. and thus will not grow in the spring. But with Mir Wilson it is different, for the ground where he has his water beneath. It is not warm enough, however in the winter time, to cause the potatoes to germinate during the winter. but as soon as the weather moderates in the spring, the potatoes begin to grow. and are we'll advanced when the potatoes in other places are being planted.

 ming to visit the San Francisco exposition to learn that the war in Europe will not interfere with the exhibits from many of the foreign countries.
 Newspapers from the Outside state that since Japan declared war on Germany, she has applied for 11,O00 more feet of exhibit space at the exposition This is additional to what she already had.
 It seems that the countries that will not be materially affected by the war are determined to take ad vantage of the Exposition to the eX- tent of using it as a means for in creasing their commerce. This can be done by exhibiting their products at the exposition, and thus where some exhibits will be lost as re- suit of the war. others will be gain ed
 It is understood that number of Fairbanks people will leave for the Outside by way of the trail before the exposition opens. which will be in February, and will return in the spring.
