MARKETING
PROBLEMS

The crop report of the depart
rnent of agriculture gives ten bill
lions of products as the yield Of
American farms in 1918. But w
ing to short crops there is little in
dication of lower prices TO the son-
sumner. The report pertineDtly
suggests that the high prices paid
by the consumers, ranging from s
to 500 per cent above the figures
the farmer receives, leaves an
ample opportunity for lowering
their retail price, and at the same
time increasing the cash income Of
the farm.
There will be no lower costs Of

ALASKES COAL TONNAGE

Ed. H. Thomas, writing in the
Review of Reviews tells of the
wonderful minerslization of Alaska
and the lack of development of
some of the t%erri:ory's natural re-
sources. Among other things he
says.
There are above 1000, 600 acres
OF known coal lands in Alaska with
a probability that the area is much
greater. Of these claimants have
entered upon 32, 0UG acres and made
bonlfide efforts to obtain the title
by paying in the statutory $40 per
acre. Much of this money IVES
paid in more than five years ago,
but only two claims aggregating
less than a quartcr-Scction of land
have passed to patent.
Coal in 1902 in the United States
aggregated 53d,l66. $50 tons. Of
this total Alaska, with its wonder
full deposits produced just $50 tons.
These figures will tell any student
of economies precisely what is
wrong with Alaska. Coal is a fund
amental domestic and industrial
necessity. Alaska has the cal hut
we cant use it. Instead of pro-
ducing its own fuel the Territory
imports all that it consumes.
In 1912 Alaska's fisheries p
duccd canned and mild cured sal
mon to the value of l6.459,Q 63.
The copper mines of the terIitLry
yielded a product worth Sd, S23,O3I.
The gold Zines produced ST.
145,951. There vas more than
$3S. 900. 900 of industrial products
in a single year, and the coal was
the first element in e. cry single
dollar of this total. Every salmon
Gamer and ish-curing plant use
coal. Every mine, concentration,
dredge and stcam.thawing plant
must have fuel to operate. The
coal for all these purposes, and for
every domestic purpose as well, is
imported, with coal inexhaustible
quantities lying all about.

MUzLLE CALAMITY HOWLERS

Bring on n muzzle for Calamity
Mann, the Republican leader of the
house. Throughout the entire
couutrS there is a steady improve
ment in the business situation and
financial outlook.
The sentiment of the entire bust
ness and financial world is hopeful
in the extreme. In consequence of
the marked change in sentiment
the Washington correspondents
who are in touch with the national
political affairs declare that the
revival has deprived the Republi-
cans of 4 political issue.
But as soon as the currency bill
wns signed and the bankers of the
nation began to study the MEASURE,
there IA a change in sentiment
toward the law which really repre-
sented the work Of the best brains
of ali parties and is the fruit of the
labor Of years. The business re-
vival following the restoration of
confidence in financial circles was
immediate.
The bank clearings of the entire
country last week showed an i'm
provrment. Trade reports from
the various centcrs show that the
outlc3k lis bitter than for many
months. Heavy imports of neat
promise a reduction in the cost of
living.
Even figures as to the unem.
played are not discouraging. The
figures Of the New York commits
siuner of labor show that while
there were more men out of work
last year than in most recent years,
still the figures OF 1908, during a
Republican + of prosperity re-
corded mnre idle men than 1918.
The outlook for the coming gear
could not be brighter. 1t is painful
for some of the stand-patters to
see such an unexpected outcome.
But in time they will admit, al
though with many wry faces, that
the nation is prospecting. Good
times are at hand regardless of the
walls of Calamity Mann and his
other apostles of woe.-Sacramcnto

The old time campaigning of
the Republican party consisted
largely of threats 20 bring on panics
and distress if things did not go
their way. Now that the party is
out of power il cannot follow that
course and it has gone to calamity
bowling. What success it will have
along that line remains to be seen.

OUR ISLAND POSSESSIONS

The number of islands under the
Stars and Stripes is estimated at
5000, and they support a popule-
ton of 10000. 900. Their COM
merce exceeds $500, 0OO, 600 or
more than that of the United
States in any year prior to 1850;
the American capital invested in
them aggregates approximately
$500, 000, 900; they send US $780,.
10000 worth of their products
each year and take in exchange
nearly 500, 0OO, 900. The Island

Denmark which support a popula-
ton Of l5,00n, GEO; Mindanao is as
big as Indiana, Hawaii is as large
as Connecticut, and Porto Rico is

The irrigation system is the marvel

invitation is extended BY this office
before taking steps to obey the law
by obtaining a blank form and pre-
pairing the required report. While
everything possible will be done by
my deputies and myself to COM
municate directly with those sub
ject to the tax during the next few
weeks, those enjoying sufficient in
come to be taxable are expected to
cooperate and file returns without
demand being made on them to do
SC.
These persons with taxable in

will subject themselves to the pen

will hold the individual to account.
Willie nc return will be required
from Il person with d net income of

 IN CZAR'S DOMAIN

We are so accustomed to look upon Russia as backward country that the following astonishing figures showing the actual progres of the country will be news to most people.
 In the ten years from 1S9S190S her population has increased from 130,- 100000 to I'll 1,000,000. This is an in- crease of about 20 per cent, and these figures may be compared with those of Germany, the next most prolific nation, in which the increase is 16.7 per cent, while in France it is down to 2.1 per cent. In 12 years at this rate of increase Russia will have population of 215 million oi people, more than the populations of England, France and Germany com bined
 Not only has her population in- creased, but also-a point of the ut most importance-her productivity has increased in proportion. Taking the years of 1902 and 1912, her ex- ports of wheat rose from $70OO0,0 S139 100000, an increase of 9S per cent. This agricultural advance has been aided by the state, which has instituted technical schools in many places through the country, and these already have some 10000 pupils agricultural banks have also been established in many districts to care for the needs of the farmers; of these latter there are about 17,00O. . Industry has not kept pace with though it, is estimated, roguhly thai there has been 50 per cent. increase in the number of factories in Russia during the last 10 years. Russia has enormous coal fields, especially i: Poland and in the south of Russia and in the past''decade the production of coal has risen from 15 million te 27 million tons.

HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
 CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French peasantry, consisting of pure vege- table oil, and said to possess won derful merit in the treatment of stomach, liver and intestinal trou- bles. has been introduced in this country by George H. Mayr, who for twenty years has been one of the leading down town druggists of Chi cago and who himself was cured by its use. So quick and eff.-=>ia- is it's action that a single dose is usually enough to bring pronounced relief iA the most stubborn cases, and many people who have tried it de- clare they never heard of anything to produce such remarkable results in so short a time It is known as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy and can now be had at almost any drug store. It is now sold here by Bedell's Pharmacy.
