THE VALUE OF SHOP COURSES TO FARMERS.

%structon, framing. finishing, painting
and repairing.
Farm machinery requires continual
watching and repairing. The one in
charge must know the value Of re-
pairs and how best 70 make them.
Many times q very small repair IN
time will save much time and money.
Generally the greatest loss is In time
and not the cost Of the part repaired.
Every farm needs q shop where these
small repairs can be made when need
ed and when rain does not allow Of
other work.
There must be some u to take
charge OF this work. There is nc ex.

Corn is planted every year and
seed corn should be tested every year.
The way to test seed corn should be
taught in rural schools every year.
The mechanics of making some kind
OF tester and putting in the seed and
learning the conditions under which
the latter will sprout and grow and
computing the per cen Of tests-all
these operations are educational in
their effect when well done. Boys
and girls Of the farm should learn TO
do them and do them well.
The kind Of tester which should
be used is not of great consequence,
so far as ultimate results are con
cerned. Some students in South Da-
kota State College made tests OF the
same kind OF corn under similar con
ditions with different kinds OF test
ers. The three kinds were as fol
lows: % water test, (2) sand test,
(3l rag doll test. II vas found that

ed 9l.3 per cent. In the sand test
9l.4 per cent. while In the rag doll
the same kind Of corn terminated
96.4 per cent.
Thus IL was demonstrated that
lore good corn can be tested out
with an ordinary rag doll test than
with the other methods. Moreover,
the work could be don with the rag
doll more rapidly. The test by this
latter method vas complete on the
tenth day. while by the other methods
IL was not completed until the day
following.
Experiments show that the rag doll
test Is as accurate as any other meth
cd of testing seed corn.
Save seed corn now. Teach corr
testing In the country schools. Boys

It. seems that the h~ousekeeper
with the welfare of her family and
her community al heart must first OF
all understand thoroughly the cookery
of foods in order that her family may be
well nourished and receive their food

must have good cooks, but there are
other facts OF equal Importance for
the housekeeper to know.
The selection of food is Of vast i'm

the wrong time 1t is not good.
Whether children grow to full size

LONDON Dec 7-The official statement isued today show that that the Allies commencing general offensive ment against the enemy Belgium and France This offensive movement has bcn growing in intensity the last few days and the largest part of the battle line running from the North Sea to the Switzerland frontier
 The oicia statement specifically mentions offensive opera tions the part of the Allies Ameneres at Arras and along the Aisn and in the Argenne forest This general ward movement of the French and British also proceeding vigorously in Belgium in the ncghborhood of Ypres.

MORE TROUBLE OVER
 THE M'CARTHY SCHOOL

The town of Mccarthy has been promised new school, and this has brought up another problem more puzzling to solve. It is the ques- ton of teacher. One faction wants teacher young and pretty. while the other faction wants an equally efficient but homely teacher. Old timers, pointing to the examples of other mining camps and posts, de- clare that a young and pretty teacher t'',l nCi be able to stand out the nrst month, but will succumb to the many offers of marriage which 1t is con fdently declared will come from the susceptible sourdoughs and lonely miners of the creeks. The parents of the children to be educated want a plain, if not positively homely teacher, one who will stay with the job, while the ardent would-be swains are just as warmly espousing the cause of the beauty.

SECRET WIRELESS ME5SAGES IN
 ALASKA

Messages in a strange code are be- ing caught in the air, which leads to the inquiry if there is a secret wire less station operated by Germans on the Alaskan coast. It is reported by the operator at Juneau that there is something out of the ordinary going on in the vibrations and several of the sparks on the passage steamers plying in these waters have experi- enced strange interference" at times.
 It was charged that the Germans were operating a plant in the Olympic mountains, but a search failed to re- veal any. Possibly one is located on some of the numerous islands of Southeastern Alaska and the messages from it caused the belief that it was from the Olympic mountains.
 A dozen wireless stations might be hidden indefinitely on any one of the thousands of islands which dot the coast of Alaska.
 A boat wireless operator says only the other day while he was talking" some one butted in with wave lengths about the same as he was sending. The messages were in a strange code, which he could not understand. He thought at the time that it might be from a German cruiser some place in the Pacific. He finally made the other party ring off" so as not to interfere with his sending.
 This recalls again the fact that an aeroplane was reported lowering over Sitka this summer; also that strange warships with lights doused were re, ported recently near Vancouver island by fishing boats, and the further fact that revenue cutter last summer pick ed up strange messages coming appar- ently from out the Pacific Ocean.
 It is pointed out that a whole regi- ment of soldiers might land on some of the many islands and run small chances of ever being discovered.
 There are islands along the coast of Alaska which have never been visited by white man and possibly never by an Indian. The wolves and the bear and the deer and the eagles and other game carry on their incessant warfare in a wilderness as complete as ever ex- isted since the beginning of time.

FORMAL OPENING IF 4. B. HALL
 AT CH|T|NA

CHITINA, Dec. 6--About one year ago Camp Chitina No. 31 of the Arctic Brotherhood was largely organized through the efforts of the late Judge dHeirry and Wm. F. Wood, at that time Deputy Marshal and both old A. B.s Judge dHIeirry belonging to Valdez Camp and Marshal Wood to Douglas.
 From the day of organization the members resolved to build their own hall, and the Townsite Company donated the very best lot they had for the purpose. In May and June the building was erected and the Lodge was in debt. It was then determin- cd not to finish the interior until they were out of debt, which condition arrived about two weeks, ago. A con tract was then let to Nelson Bros. for the interior decorations, and F. NJ. Schaupp for the steam heat. The work was rushed and today the Rev. Mcbride held services in the prettiest little hall in Alaska, built and paid for by the boys of Chitina.
 The Camp is in a very fourishing condition, there being fifty active members at this time with new mem bers at almost every meeting.
 Chester Hull is Arctic Chief and with the cooperation that he is get ting from the members the Camp promises to do better during his term of office. than in the successful year just passed.
 A big house warming is planned for the near future. and the boys kind of regret there is no mortgage to burn up, but they managed to get along without one.
 Captain Suphellon is drilling the members, and says the next time they parade they would be a credit to the Kaiser.
 The people of Chitine are disap- pointed with the railroad news, as the Delegate had assured a few of the faithful that they should have one road. One of them says the news can not possibly be true as the Delegate only left for Washington the other day and they could not possibly arrive at a decision without him.
 Travel over the trail is rather light and will not get much better until after the holidays. Sheldon is get ting most of the passengers as they prefer the quick trip in the automo- bile It is expected that the Stage Co., will put on autos in the spring in self defense.
