The Chief Justice.

"There are very few people who know the proper designation of the man who presides over the supreme court" said the secretary of the sen ate.
 Generally he is referred to as the chief justice of the United States su- preme court In fact, he is the chief justice. That's his official title. Most of our presidents in nominating men for this office have fallen into the CT TOT of giving him the long title. When George Washington nominated Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut for this post he described it as chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, Andrew Jackson made the same error in nominating Roger B. Fancy. So did Abraham Lincoln when he appoint ed Salmon P. Chase. Grover Cleve- land was the first president to give the correct designation. When he appoint ed Melville w. Fuller he nominated him to be chief justice and nothing else" Washington Star.

A Real Estate Agents Kindness to One
 of His Customers.
 J. Cooper Props, formerly real es. tate agent in Eaton, Ind. few years ago had practically concluded sale of residence in that town to a farmer who desired to retire, when the cus- toner suddenly discovered that there was no cellar beneath the dwelling. The house suited him perfectly, and his wife also was highly pleased with it, but both of them demanded a cellar before taking it, even though they pre- viously had gone as far as to tell MT. Props to draw up the deed.
 Well. I'll tell you what I'll do," said Props "Of course there's no cellar un der there now, but I'll fix 1t in the deed-write it all out and everything. so there can't be any mistake-so that you have the privilege of excavating for the cellar at any time you please and without interference from any source."
 MT. and Mrs. Farmer said they guessed" that would be all right, so after their right to construct their own cellar had been carefully safeguarded in the deed by elaborate phrases they paid over their money and took posses sion. But to this day, Props says, they look at him in a daZed and puzzled way every time they meet him.-In dianapolis News.

SAVINGS BANKS
 AS BAROMETERS

More than 100000 persons of small means are vitally interested in the solvency of the big corporations of the country They are depositors in the savings banks. The prec!ae number as disclosed in the report of the comptroller of the currency is H. 1O9,499, and they have on deposit $4,- 936.59l,849, or an average of nearly $45O apiece. The number of deposit ors is nearly 35O,000 greater than last year, and the total deposits about $21O,OOO 900 greater These accumu- lations of the wage-earners, who lay by a dollar at a time, are invested in bonds of corporations as we'll as in real estate mortgages. Every bur- den placed by the government on such securities bears heavily upon these depositors. The banks formerly paid per cent. interest, and some more; the rate at Philadelphia is 3.65; but most of them find it difficult to earn enough to pay over per cent
 The business depression of the year has been felt by the humber savers, as their hoardings gained $7O,0O0, 900 less in 1914 than in 1913, and the number of depositors was increased by less than half as many this year as last. Idle workingmen have not been able to lay by money, and many have been forced to withdraw wha, savings they had already accumulat ed. It is to be hoped that all this will change in 1915-Philadelph Public Ledger.

WICkERSHAM PROPOSAL NOT
 GOOD

The provision in Delegate Wicker sham's road bill that on and after July l, 1916, the proceeds from the occu- patton or license tax collected by the federal government outside of the ln- corporated towns in Alaska shall be turned into the territorial treasury. and applied by the Alaska legislature in certain manner therein set forth should be defeated. There is only one excuse for the continuation of the Alaska license tax system. That is it's encouragement to congress to appropriate money from the federal treasury to go with the proceeds from the tax toward aiding in the construc- tion of Alaska roads. If that excuse is to be removed, the whole system should be abolished.
 The taxation of the people of Alas ka, except insofar as they are taxed under the general revenue producing laws of the whole nation, is of right a matter that concerns only the peo- pie of this territory. The people of Alaska, through their legislature should levy all the taxes that are i'm posed upon themselves, and provide for the expenditure. If the people of the territory are not capable of this they are not capable of any manner of elf-government
 The people of Alaska have recog- nized the iniquity of the federal li- cense tax law for many years, but as it has been a means toward secur- ing appropriations from the federal government, for Alaska road purpos- es they have refrained from attack ing it earnestly.
 Delegate Wickersham's bill, if pass ed as it was introduced would destroy the sole excuse for the system. It should be abolished entirely or it should remain as it is.-Juneau Em- pire

GERMANY HAS
 FOOD A PLENTY
It Is Impossible for Her Enemies To Starve Her, Says German
 Scientist.

Dr. Otto Appel, who is an authority on agricultural matters in Germany, is a privy counciler and a member of the Prussian Biological Innstitute, is now in New York for his govern ment and states that Germany can never be starved out by her enem' es because the imperial government long ago adopted the most advanced scien- tific and economic methods to in- sure food preparedness" in the event of crisis.
 We exported 100000 tons of rye, 5,OOOO0O tons of wheat, and imported 5000, ,OOO tons of rye and 2,000,O00 tons of wheat last year." said Dr. Appel. "The difference between our exports and imports can be made up by the utilization of potatoes. The German potato production in recent years was normal, about fifteen tons per hec- tar, one nectar equaling 2.471 acres, or three times more than American crops from the same area. Potato crops can be used in different ways; 25 per cent for table use, 40 per cent. for feeding cattle, 10 per cent. for sowing, the rest for alcohol and starch.
 By scientific methods we have made the potato crop independent of seasons During winter, by means of a drying process, a larger supply is obtained The potatoes are dried in evaporators, as are also the peel ings. At the beginning of the war 300 such evaporators were existing in Germany, and since then 300 more have been placed on farms all over Germany.
 "In baking bread, wheat and rye can be mixed with additions of pota- to flour. Bread of this kind will re- main fresh for long period of time. It was produced in Germany before the war, and is most nourishing. Germany also is feeding it's own population as far as meat is concern ed. For years it has planned means to increase it's cattle production, and as result only per cent. of the meat needed is imported from for eign countries. A law has also been passed prohibiting the killing of young
 cattle, factor important in meat consumption.
 "In the course of forty years Ger many by the most advanced scientific methods, such, for example, as the
 rotation of crops, use of nitrate, and numerous other means, has doubled it's crops, and is therefore we'll pre- pared, with the other reasons have given, to feed it's population for any length of time.'

JUNEAU PRoHIBS TO

That a campaign for prohibition is under way in Juneau is indicated. Prohibition literature used in the states during the recent elections has reached the local headquarters of the Women's Christian Temperance Un- ion and five or six billboards in the city have been. rented for the display of the matter. The prohibition move ment is headed by the Rev. J. B. Stevens, pastor of the First Presby- terian church, and the w. c. T. U. is going to make an active fight for the presentation of a wet and dry is- sue to the voters, it is asserted.

THE old ROTTEN VILLAGE

How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection pre-
sents them to view
The church and the store and the
school in the wildwood
And all the loved spots tn; t
my infancy knew.
Last summer | wandered again
to the village,
But found not a neigbhor of cd
or his spouse.
The streets were deserted. tie
farms needed tillage
The town had been killed by
the mail order house.
The village had vanished when
merchants were banished-
The town had been killed
by the mail order house.
But one lone survivor, as scared
as a rabbit,
| found, and l asked why
the village was dead.
The town got the mail order
catalog habit,
And that is what killed It
forever, he said.
1T was not war, epidemic or
pillage,
No foeman's invasion or rob-
ber's carouse.
The money that should have de-
veloped the village,
was all sent away to the ;
mail order house
The money we earned here was
never returned here,
When once it was sent to the
mail order house.

boring holes through it ETC., and
