problem for the coming winter, Ac- cording to the announcements recent ly received, a plan has been perfected whereby the government will assume of all foodstuffs, even to the extent of issuing tickets permitting the purchase of limited quantities of such commo- dities and products as may be found growing uncomfortably scarce. Through this form of distribution 1t Is hoped that the German peoples will be able to pass through the winter without suf- fering or being compelled to pay in- Hated prices for such food stuffs as will be necessarily scarce owing to a restricted supply. This measure does not mean that Germany Is facing the prospects of starvation so fondly antiic- pated by the allies during earlier pe
 riods of the war for there Is undoubted- | ly ample food supplies within the bor- ders of the empire to enable the popu, lace to subsist in comfort. The falla- cious belief that Germany can be starved has long ago been dissipated by innumerable evidences that he na-
 ton Is amply able to sustain itself for an indeterminate period on the nat
 ural products of the soil even in the event that all outside sources of sup lply were completely cut off. The pol German people an equal distribution and freedom from the rapacity of traders in food commodities who might be inclined to boost prices because of a limited supply. There Is little doubt that in the absence of governmental
 regulation the diet of a large portion
 of the German people would be reduced
 to the most simple clements through lthe inflated prices placing many
 classes of foodstuffs beyond the reach
 of those of moderate means. It Is not
 to be doubted that under ordinary lconditfons there would be much suf-
 fering among the middle and lower classes were 1t not that the govern
 ment has taken the situation in hand and at one blow obliterated the pos sibility of the people being compelled to pay extortionate prices and assured them an ample supply of such commo- dities as are obtainable through a sys- tenn of equal distribution.

INCOME OF FORESTS
 1915 IS $2,5oo, ,ooo.

Washington-The national forests turned into the United States treasury during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, nearly $2.50O,00o. an increase of more than s4O,OOO over the receipts of the previous year, according to a state ment just issued by the forest ser vice. The timber sales, which amount Ied to s1154, ,O0O, yielded on account of the depressed condition of the lumber industry about s7s,OoO less those of the previous year, but the gain was made possible by larger revenues from other sources. The grazing receipts which totalled s1,125,oO0, increased s127,000 over last year. and the water power receipts, which amounted to not quite $9O,0oO, showed an increase of nearly 342.ooo.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. NOV. 5, 1915.

Now that the last boat has departed and we are left to our own devices until the glad warmth of summer re- turns to warm our winter chilled and sluggish blood to new activity, 1t Is to be supposed that we will once again settle down to the same old business of cussing the coal bill, damning the weather man and to stirring LID all the meanness and cussedness that is inherent in natures of the great ma 1ority of us. We will probably get out our little hammer, grown rusty through the summer, polish it up neatly and prepare to swing 1t on something or somebody. We will also probably commence to keep a careful eye on our neighbor to ascertain his little slips and failings or lapses from moral rect itude and in sundry and divers other ways show that we have lots of time
 on our hands to lend to things that
 would otherwise be beneath our notice.
 That's the main trouble about the long
 winter. We have too much time to
 thlnk over the triies; the little silly
 things that are ever apparent but
 which we do not see when the hurry
 and hustle of life from the great ou,.
 side touches upon our existence dur
 ing the summer season. Hemmed in by
 the icy boundaries of our environment
 and with little to do that demands our
 full and undivided attention, we are
 apt to grow interpretive and narrow
 minded and to allow the little things
 of existence to fasten upon our at-
 tention to the detriment of ourselves
 and others. We become mentally care
 less, so to speak, and choose not that
 which is worth while for that which
 is not. We are content to feed our minds upon the chaff of life and to find great delight in its very lack of all that is noble or elevating. It is human nature to be mean and we are all more or less given to pettiness and littleness, to fault finding and unjust criticism, regardless of whether we know 1t or not and all of these traits find their greatest expression when the long winter comes on. We could each and every one of us profit if we just kept this fact in the back of our minds for we would then probably overlook a whole lot of things that made not only orueslevs but others mis- erable and In addition, bring us down to a mental level that Is anything but meritous. Whether our station be high | or low, life Is too short to busy our selves with things that have no merit | or value. After all 1t is only the big | things of life that count and nothing l that was little or mean ever benefited ] humanity either In whole or part This | is neither sermon or an admonition | but we can all take its terms to heart | with considerable profit for we are so apt to forget what a great big beauti- full world this Is and to overlook the | good and true in favor of that which | Is the contrary.

TROUSERS IN VOGUE 100 YEARS.
Louisville Chronicle.l


 We may, if We be so minded, cele- brate the centenary for trousers this year. They were worn before 1915, but not tolerated "in the best circles" To take ones walks abroad in trousers was to court social ostracism.
 Even the Duke of Wellington was refused admission to Almack's In 1874 because he wore black trousers and silk stockings. It appears, however, that Almack's capit 'ulated to the new fashion the following year. And, in any ease, it might have proved dangerous to have slammed the door in the face If the hero of Waterloo.

Jail is not the proper place for

bands.
This is the conclusion Of thu
Tacoma social service board,
which is preparing to present a
bill providing for county farm
where prisoners may work and
receive wages. which shall be
turned over to those dependent
upon them. 1t is possible, ac-
cording to Mrs. w. H. Udall.
member of the board, that the
bill may be given to the present
legislature.
1--WE had most unfortunate
case, brought to our attention
lately" said Mrs. Udall. "A
young man was sent to jail Cor
days for petty offense. Dur
ing that time he sat idly in his
cell, playing cards and having a
good time and plenty to eat.
while his aged mother had to go
to work to support herself.
III we had a county farm all
such prisoners could be earning
money. Especially Is this true Of
lazy husbands"
Justice Graham said today that
until such time as the county pro-
vided work for lazy husbands, he
would be Inclined to order few
lazy husbands to jail.
ut is doing the wife no good"
he said, "and the state supreme
court has given an opinion that
man unable to support himself
because of lack Of employment
can not be sent to jail for failure
to support his wife and family.
1t is an unfortunate state OF af-
fairs"
