 The various reports from persons coming to Juneau from the new town all seem to tally in regard to the threatened epidemic of poverty there. and 1t has been frequently stated that not only are there a great many men out of work but that there is no work for them of any sort.
 So far ns is known, the box which has just been sent out is the first to so. Everything in the way of warm wearing apparel was sent and num- ber of pairs of shoes. All of the ar tlcles, many of which were new, were given for the purpose by the members of the Presbyterian congregation.

SOIL HAS DISEASES
SAME AS PERSONS
Cultivation OF Land is Same
as Exercise and Air
Are TO Man
GOVERNMENT
MAKES TESTS

For the better part of a generation
Americans have been hearing OF the
exhaustion of the soil in this country
Abandoned farms in New England
had to be given up because they re-
turned such poor crops that their fur
ther cultivation was not worth while
Important elements for plant lite and
growth were said to have been ruth
lessy taken from them by wastoful
farming and never restored. and il
was prophesied that the same thing
would happen to the great farming
lands in the Middle and Far West.
The popular impression existed that
the earth was IAN inanimate mixing
bowl out of which plants ate. as cat
tie feed from the trough. What was
not put in could obviously not be
taken out and since chemical analy-
sis proved that plants do absorb min
eral plant food elements the bowl
must quite as obviously run empty
unless we poured back as much as
the crops took out"
When the United States Bureau OF
polio uuutIlook an luNtStlEdllOn. now
ever. il found no basis for the general
deterioration Of the soil thus suggest
ed. II did find that property cultivated
soil increased in fertility in the course
of time, but that certain changes in
the soil, which might well be called
diseases" we're responsible for the
lessening of the crops; further these
diseases could be treated rather read
lily once they we're recognized.
The whole story has many analo-
gies with certain theories OF human
diseases, and with many medical
problems" says the journal of the
American Medical Association. "Out
Of this investigation has come the
interesting conclusion that the soil is
not dead set of minerals in a mix
ing bowl, but an organism having
hitherto unperceivod likenesses 10 the
body of man. Cultivation seems 10
he to the crop-bearing earth what
exercise and air are to human beings.
and there are probably laws of
hygiene and sanitation quite as ap-
plicable to the control OF the soils
health as to that of mankind"

Although sturgeon roc, or caviar, is
selling for less than half as much
as e did year ago, Delaware Bay
fishermen have failed to heed the ad-
vice of the caviar dealers TO hang up
their nets this season and give the big
fish chance to increase in numbers
by the time the price of the roe gets
back to its usual high mark again
The roe is now selling for about 60
cents a pound al tho fishing wharvos
The fishermen have had fairly good
luck already this spring.

DOEBERITZ PRISON CAMP. Ger
many, May 3.-(By Mail TO New York;
Germany has 5000 English, Rus
sian, French and Belgian soldiers inn
prisoned here now. And the two
questions / was asked by the men
with whom talked as / tramped over
this great camp today were: when
will the war end?" and WAS Jack
Johnson whipped at Havana?"
The end of the war, which means
freedom for them, and events in the
held of sports are the only two things
that interest these prisoners now.
They have almost ceased TO care
which side may be victorious. They
are no longer interested in the prog
ress of the war. They want it to be
over so they may return home.
In their lighter moods they want to
know what is happening in the world
Of sport. When I was here today they
had not heard of JOhnson's defeat and
those who heard IL could not wait to
pass the good news around
DO you think the war is going to
end this fall? That's what we hear"
The speaker was Myer John Voso,
81, a strong, bright-eyed English mar
inc, one of the thousand captured near
Antwerp early in the war. He said
he volunteered just after he had writ
ten his aunt, Mrs. S. II. Levy, of Bos-
ton. that he was coming there for
visit Voso was one of the most trust
ed prisoners in the camp and he ac-
companied us when We visited room
