ALASKA'S CONINIERCN
 FOR LAST YEAR

The Department of Commerce and Labor has issued its summary Of commerce and finance for the fiscal year ending June, 1914. The re port covers the whole United states but of particular local significance is that section devoted to the com merce of Alaska, the majority of which passes through seattle. For the year there is considerable in- crease in the valuation Of supplies, machinery, food products and gen eral merchandise shipped from the United States proper to it's Alaska ports, the total figures, being for the year $21,92S,46O, which is far greater than the year 1913 or the year 1912. The products of Al aska show a decrease. The gold is treated separately, the amount being $15,9S5,152, which is a de- crease of more than three million, over the period Of lSlz-1S4S. Ah0 other products of the territory to- tai $2O,294,5S2, which is a decrease over the fiscal year 1913 and the fiscal year 1912, and is due entire .Iy to a decrease in canned salmon and other fish products.
 So that a person may appreciate the value of the merchandise and supplies sent into this country from Seattle the following tables are appended:

Doos Love the Villain.

That characters in photoplays are
sOmGtimes entirely different in real
life is exemplified by Carl Stockdale.
Mr.. Stcckdale is usually cast for the
role of the villain and when he is an
actor there probably is no meaner vii
lain in the world and when he is eth
er hanged or shot at the conclusion Of
the photCplay audience always give
a sigh of satisfaction.
Mr.. Stockdale, however, in real life
is one of the kindliest of men. He
has horse and number of dogs that
want to follow him wherever he goes.
Whenever he sees a sick or wounded
dog he always takes it home and
cares for it.
All of which goes to show that
you cannot pick villain by his make
up.

Elaine Sterne, winner of the Eve

New York girl, and though she has
only been writing photoplays barely
nine months, she has managed TO win
for herself a wide success in this field.
She was educated in New York, and
having always in mind an ambition to
write, took up special courses at Co
lumbia in English and English liter
ature. She gained her knowledge Of
photo-play technique by a close study
or the plays as presented on the
screen. Writing, she believes, is a

must sacrifice much to accomplish
anything

Look to Your Seed Corn.

Tire selection of seed corn should be
one OF the most important duties of
every grower. 1t does not take
much time to go through the field
and pick out the best ears, consider
ing the stalk on which it grew
Carefully dry them and store where
they will not freeze and the mice and
rats will not destroy. But the net
results in the following crop is plain
" evident. Do not husk the corn
until it has fully ripened and you are
ready to store it. Then leave the
husk on the cob and hang it up. So
with all kinds of melons and
pumpkins the stem should be left on
until used. They ripen better,
stronger and sweeter.
