 Planters in the South who have only recently gotten away from the ancient idea that only cotton and cane could be raised n the sandy soil, are now branching out into the cattle raising industry Planters fearing the inroads of the boil weavl and the uncer tany the cotton market have started out to secure the type of steer which win be hardy enough to thrive on the herbage of Mississippi and Georgia and at the same time prove marketable in competition with the products of Texas and other cattle raising States.
 Many of the planters have tried buying yeariings in Texas and paying high prices for them. With the added cost of freight and goodstufs through the win ter profit has been left for the experimener Those who have gone iu for breeding their cattle in the hope of getting product which will prove profitable have tried importing their and bulls. The off springs failed to prove good enough rustlers to thrive the scant herbage
 One planter in Southern Georgia believes that he has secured the solution for the Southerners He has crossed the strains of the Shorthom bull with that of the native cow The offspring inherited from the mother the "rustng qualities and from the sire the size and sightness If this plan proves successful thou sands of acres of soil which has been titled may be utilized for pasture
 The Georgian who secured this cross of shorthorn with the native COW worked along the plan whereby the hog ases many many years ago crossed the noted Thnrnd with other strains until the product had noth ing left of the Thnrnd except its habits Using this example it may be possible for the planters of the herbage and a the time be raised more cheaply than in other States.

A FATAL WEAKNESS

The Rev. Ernest Houshton of Bristol. England. has made appeal to patriotic women of the Nation to come forward and marry Che maimea heroes of the war and devote their lives ameiiorans their condition He contends that unions thus arranged promise great CT degree of happiness than is customary from the meth. ods in England because they are based upon high degree of unseinshness"
 Leaving this slightly obscure argument in favor of the plan untouched We may point out the fatal weak ness of this well Of most other benevolent plans to cause the people to get married large scale. The plans do not go beyond the altar. They seem to the theory that when the ceremony is performed the whole problem is solved. They take for granted that the happy pair win live happy ever after undis- turbed by such petty considerations as food clothing shelter and the like
 IT ihe Rev Ernest Houghton has devised plan which win not only assure the maimed hero wife but win also deal in acceptable manner with the pressing problem of support which is sure to come to the front after the first brief period of patriotic exata- tion he IS indeed of real talents But a bright idea which ends at Che altar and forgets the larder s

 In short. 1t is high time that the limitations were stricken from the organic act and that Alaska had a full Territorial form Of government and home rule. We can have all that within year if the Delegate from Aaaka win ask for 1t and work for it.
 Then VIC may safely begin the campaign for State hood and enjoy self government in local affairs we contest for our place among the States of Union.

 Reports from general trade come better all the time. Expert observers believe that with favorable develop mnts in the European fields we shall run into a business boom in this country between now and the coming Spring The best barometer perhaps is the iron and steel markets which are showing enormous strides now.
 favorable feature is the indication of a somewhat better demand for money This is not yet really ap precabc though it is commencing to show in several ways It is difficult to see how money help being worth more with business and speculation more active especially if the government offers large loan for the purpose of defence policy
