oJlTNEYp

What Is ji,neyg The question has been asked many times throughout the Pacific Northwest since the inYa- sion Of trolley line territory by small motor cars
 1t would take learned exponent Of slang to answer the question correc1- ly, The word does not appear in orr dinary dictionaries, and its etymology is therefore a matter of doubt
 "Jitney' Is used by colored children and poor whites in the extreme south eastern portion of the United States for a nickel It is just as complete ly term there as "lagnappe is in New Orleans-the latter meaning 9 gift to follow the payment of till
 From what appears to have been its source, Jitney9 has drifted Into Lou- isIana Arizona and New Mexico; and from it has come an allied term ''iit- aman, meaning Q hold out change.
 The expression has reached the cit ies. In some places it Is understood as a small piece Of money; but usually it retains It's meaning as Indicating Q Decent piece

JUNEAU PRAISED FoR
 INVITING RESIDENT

Juneau has Invited President Wi'aon to extend his tour to Alaasa when na comes Meet lu tue spring and all the other coast towns are invited Go do likewise. Now t would be 2 mighty good idea to follow the example of the people Of the capital. Even through lhe chances of getting Mr.AF son to come are poor it would oe 9 well deserved compliment and would at least give him a chance Go see how we appreciate tho work he has done for the Territory The City Council of Juneau took the initiative In Che matter and if the City Council of Sew ard meets tonight q resolution to esk the President Co come would be very graceful proceeding This reso. mtlon could be made the occasion Of expressing In Q preamble to it inc sense of the people of the magniti- cent help which Mir Wilson has given to us. And this invitation and this expression of expectation ought to be done today and not tomorrow, For many reasons it should be done now. Other towns not 9 million miles away win likely get busy at once.-(Sew- ard Gateway)

Just how much does Che average farmer maker The answer to this pug zling question has been long sought by agricultural exports, since 1t is the ultimate test of all systom of farm management It is simple enough to calculate the cash pri1ts received in the course of the year but these do not measure the farmers success. The farm supplies him with much besides money - with food, shelter and fuel For these things the city worker has to pay out a large part Of his wages. They must therefore, loo included In any just estimate of the farmers inc come In other words, tho city work CT Is paid entirely in caah, tho farm CT partly in cash partly directly in the necessltios Of life.
 TO obtain fuller knowledge of the value of this direct contribution from the farm the department has recent ly concluded an investigation which included 488 farm families divided among ton States In different sections of tho country

 Johnson drifted under the frozen lake and found 9 body of gravel four feet deep carrying values with an ay- craze Of 40 cents a pan Drifting has been done for Q considerable distance. The pay continues to hold as far as the ground has been driited, and John son says he has at least $100,000 al- ready blocked out

PRESIDENT WILSON GAN
BE DEPENDED UPON


 The fact is once more demonstrated that in President Wilson the country ]. has an executive who can be depend ed upon to retain his selfcomposure and reasoning faculties in grave crises. When 1t was reported that tho United States cruiser Tennessee had been
 fired upon by the Turks he demanded an explanation. The explanation was forthcoming, and it now appear8 that instead being guilty of 3 hostile act the Turks merely gave warning to prevent threatened catastrophe. In the meantime the demegogue was in evidence demanding reparation for the outrage and the martial spirit Of our freside warriors was aroused Co the boiling point Senator Lodge placed himself in a ridiculous plight evidently by assuming that inc, rather than Inc President was the spokesman Of the patriotic sentiment of the coun. try. Some persons appear to be un. willing 10 srant that possibly ihe man invested with the Presidency may bel equally as patriotic as they Idito rod pioneer)

 FOR WORLDS PEACE

The present war is so apDaliug and shock ing that it in itself is probably doing more to pat an end to the war than any peace propoganda could have ac- eomplished in haf century The longer that this war continues and the more terrible its results, the stronger the argument for permanent world peace.
