UNCLE SAM TO GO OUT
OF REINDEER BUSINESS

The federal government plans to go
out of the reindeer business in Alas
ka as fast as it can train Alaskans
for individual ownership, the policy
being to encourage independence and
initiative among the native popula-
ton, according to a statement today
by the bureau OF education. Distri-
button of reindeer is in charge of Am
erican school teachers and it is ex-
pected the government will dispose
OF all its reindeer within the next
four years.
The Alaska reindeer are increasing
in number, despite reports to the con-
trary, it is said. Latest available fig
ures show that on June 30 there were
1926 reindeer in the 81 Alaska
herds, net increase Of % per cent
during the fiscal year. OF this num-
ber the government owns 1858, the
remainder, valued at $76S, 300, belong
ing to the natives.

Why is it that Mr.. H. l.. Klock is
taking the interest he is in explaining
the why Of the butter market? His
article, Tariff and the Butter Mar
ket," was written for the Produce
News" and was borrowed for last
weeks issue Of the Islander" The
real beauty of it, and "The Evils Of
Promoters" by e. c. Elliott in last
weeks Journal" lies in Its coming
in at such an opportune time to San
Juan County dairy men who are at
this time trying to get away from the
heavy tax Of freight and wharfage
charges. and away from the notices Of
Cream Received in Bad Condition,
from the city creameries.
have been doing business with Mr..
H. L. Klock for the last three or
four years and can say that / have
had no fault to find with him as a
city creamery man. Like the York
shire school master, he is as good as
too oother," and his article is clear
statement Of the way it appears to the
city creamery man.
Professor E. E. Elliott is very well
known in San Juan County and, feel,
is a personal friend Of mine, and a
man who well knows what he is talk
ing about, but feel that just now he
is, consciously or unconsciously, the
mouthpiece of the city creamery in
terests.
Mr.. Klock's resume Of the market
conditions is certainly masterpiece,
and were it not for the back slap"
which comes in the mind after reading
it, 'twould certainly be convincing evi-
dence that If the producer knows
which side his bread is buttered on
be will still continue to ship his cream
to the city creamery, and get his lit
tile statement and checque every two
weeks the checQue is q little dear.
Mr.. Klock's argument is, that the
farmer has invaded the province II
the city creamery when he combines
with his neighbors and builds a Co
operative creamery plant in his neigh
borhood and ships his manufactured
or finished product into the city. to
compete with the city creamery or
combination of creameries who con-
troll the prices of butter, holding it up
to the point where it can be handled
at a profit to everybody. This is busi-
ness.
Mr.. Klock assures us that the trade
controls the price, and that they are
in a position to drop the price so low
as to force the cooperative creamery
and the dairy man even out Of busi-
ness, and he intimates that they are
going to do 50.

MRS. PRESTON is BACK
FROM EASTERN TRIP

Mrs. Josephine Preston, state sup
erintendent of public instruction, has
returned to Olympia after a three
weeks trip in the East. Mrs. Pres.
ton attended the national superinten-
dents convention in Richmond, Va,
was in Washington, D. c., several
days where she studied the boys and
girls club work and rural school work
under the Denmark system, similar to
Mrs. Preston's community center, and
visited the Gary Vocational school in
Indiana.
"The movement toward vocational
training is marked all over the coun-
try" said Mrs. Preston in talking
of her trip. "and the Gary Vocational
school is notable example Of the
manner in which it is being worked
out. %
Another tendency that is becom-
ing manifest all over the United
States is that toward longer school
hours and longer school Years. l
don't mean by that that there is a
tendency to require more actual aca-
demic work to be done in day BY the
pupils, but that more play time is al
lowed under the supervision Of the
teachers, and that students who de-
sire to do so may spend more time IN
the work shops and laboratories Of vo-
cational and industrial nature. At
Gary, for example. they have two
school shifts daily. One begins at
S:15 o'clock in the morning for those
pupils who want to come early, and
lasts until 4 o'clock, with about an
hour for lunch. The other begins ct
8 o'clock and continues till 5 o'clock.
These long periods are not filed with
study and recitation alone. however.
but time is allowed for recreation Of
various kinds, including work IN the
shops or domestic science rooms,
which is as genuine recreation for

is that so minutes is required OF each
pupil daily in auditorium work Of spe-

for excusing pupils for time spent in

Practically all the printing of bull
letins, programs, schedules and the
like for use in the school is done by
boys in the printing shop. and it is
notable that both grade school boys

CHICKENS TESTED
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Important Discoveries. Are
Made by Agricultural
College Men.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. doctors Van
Es and schalk of the veterinary de-
partment of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college and experiment sta
tion have just taken a bulletin off Of
the press entitled Avian Tuber-
culosis." These men have succeeded
in applying the tuberculin test to
chickens and have solved a problem
that will not only greatly benefit the
poultry raisers of North Dakota but
OF the whole world and they are, the
first of the many experimentors to
have succeeded in this task.
The bulletin is about as complete as
any bulletin ever published at the
station as it contains a list Of 291 diff
ferent references which have been
studied in the Investigations made and
the preparation Of the bulletin. Tu-
herculosis in fouls has been studied
since 1868 and for the first time since
then the tuberculin test has been
proven satisfactory. thus proclaiming
a. victory for the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent station. The test used is the
intra dermal test and the main trou-
Bile has been in the past that expert
mentors have put the needle of the
syringe too deep into the fowl. This
discovery is going to aid the farmers
and chicken fanciers who are trou-
bled with tuberculosis to clean up
their flocks.
The record given in the bulletin
covers the work carried on with over
600 chickens in which the work was
carried on to the finding of the bacil-
lus in order to make sure of their
Investigations
Some of the important headings of
the paragraphs in the bulletin are
Historic Considerations, Geographic
Distribution, Economic Importance,
Etiology, Modes of Transmission, Le-
sions Symptoms, Diagnosis and Re-
latlon of Avian to Mammalian Tuber-
culosis. The bulletin is illustrated
with colored plates. ~

HOMEOPATHY

The homeopathic conception Of a
cure Is a permanent restoration of
health or the removal of disease in
its whole extent. This is done on
easily comprehensive principles. With
this ideal Of cure 1t Is not possible
to consider the removal Of a tumor,
ulcer, enlarged tonsils, etc.. by surgi-
cal means, as cures. When these
products Of disease are removed surg
ically the cause Is not removed, the
body suffers in another way and
therefore is not cured.
Homeopathy cures the entire indi-
vidual from center to circumference
and does this gently and permanently.
