THE WISDOM OF ExTRAvAGANcE

There are not many of US who have to
plan the expenditure of our incomes
down to the last cent. Most OF US have
q certain amount of money that can be
spent for pleasure-that can be spent, II
you will. extravagantly. And the ex-
travagances this money pays for. II they
are wisely chosen, are really In the ma
ture Of an economy.
We get so tired reducing all our pur-
chases to a dead level Of minimum cost
that it is sometimes a joy to be extrava-
CANT And the very joy is gosd for US,
and gives US courage and inspiration to
70 on with the routine of daily economy.
For instance, take the woman who
loves flowers, and wants them always in
her house. Suppose she spend so cents
a week for them. II she has that money
to spend. She Will probably enjoy them
more than she would an extra frock.
Or. II she cannot afford SO great an ex-
travagance. suppose she spend % cents
a week for them-with careful buying Of
cut flowers and plants something green
could be kept always in the house for
even less than this. And the extrava-
gance would really give the woman III
question much happiness, much strength
to go on with the daily problems Of
household economy.
Or suppose a family likes fresh butter.
It can well afford to buy II occasionally,
and have 1t. crisp and cold, served In
thin shavings on chopped ice. 1t can
scir,p on pastries from the bakers to
make up the difference. There are plenty
of persons In moderate circumstances
who would decry the spending Of the
money that this fresh-butter treat would
cost. but IL it stimulates the appetite and
gives real pleasure, why not be extrava-
CANT over fresh butter once In a while.
Then take the Southern woman, who
knows where she can get real Kentucky
hams that delight her guests. She can
well afford to pay 40 cents a pound for
them occasionally. For they will give
her pleasure, give her guests pleasure.
and help establish a reputation for her
hospitality.

Hannah Could who was born Septem-
Der 8. 17S9. in Massachusetts,, was a popu-
lar writer of poetry of her day. A little
set Of verses called Frost" that long
remained favorite in the school readers,

work.

said that she possessed more distinctly

American woman writer, was born in

was prominent physician and surgeon.
and was instructor of surgery in Bow
doin College. Sarah was a delicate child
and instead Of spending long hours in the
schoolroom her father would take her
about with him on his practice, talking
to her and instructing her in the long
drives in the open. He frequently re-
counted to her the experiences of his
practice, and from these talks Sarah
Jewett gathered much of the material
which she later used in her writing.
At the age Of 10 she wrote her first
story. sent it to the Atlantic Monthly
and had II at once accepted. Thus en-

BELGIANS THOUGHT THEIR
 DELIVERANCE Al HAND

GENEVA, Oct. 25--In a recent is- sue of the Strassburg Post, a descrip tion is given of the manner in which the Belgians received the news of the great success won by the allies on the western front last week. It says:
 "When the first news of the allied victory became known a feverish emotion took hold of Brussels. With great effrontery the French and Bel gian national anthems were whistled all day in the streets, but on the approach of German patrol, there was silence.
 There was general joy at the vic- tory over the enemy among the Bel gians. When an enemy aviator ap- peared over the city the citizens rushed to the roofs of their homes thinking it was the hour of their de- liverance.
 "We must educate Brussels and the Belgians."

BARGE LOST NEAR CORDovA

(From the Juneau Empire)
 The American sloop barge Wash ington is total wreck on the west erly side of Kyak island two miles off Cape St. Elias, according to re- port filed in the United States GUS toms office this morning. The barge was bound to Cordova in tow of the tug Pioneer when she met with mishap, having encountered a rough sea and becoming waterlogged.
 The Washington grounded at 3:30 pm, on October 10. The crew of the barge endeavored to pump the water from the vessel, but the seas came in so fast that the vessel had to be abandoned, the crew of six men and stowaway reaching shore in boats from the Pioneer.
 The Washington was a barge of 70S gross and 674 net tons burden. She was built in 1898 at Portland Ore, and was registered at Tacoma Wash. She was owned by the Alas ka Barge Co.,, of Tacoma and her last port of sailing was Port Towns end. The vessel is valued at about $5,000, and her cargo, consisting of 100000 of lumber, is worth $t0,- $50. The amount of insurance on the vessel and cargo is not known, according to the report, which was fixed by 0. Beaton, master of the tug Pioneer.
 The vessel is said to be breaking up. The exact spot where she lies is IA deg. 10 min. West longitude, and 59 deg. 45 mni. North latitude.

HORRIBLE EXAMPLES PARADE
 THE NEW YORK STREETS

NEW YORK, Oct. 25--An unusual campaign, calling attention to the deficiencies of devitalized heritage, has been launched by the Medical Review of Reviews and persons in- terested in eugenics to limit the birth of children who may become a burden to the state.
 Half a dozen decrelit, poverty stricken, poorly clad, underfed men are sent out every day to parade Fifth avenue, Wall street and other crowded thoroughfares with poster signs asking all to read whether these poster carriers should be all lowed to become fathers. Saturday was their second day on the streets. Some of the posters read:
 q am burden to myself and to the state. Should be father?"
 q have no opportunity to educate or feed my children or myself; they may become criminals"
 "Would the prisons and asylums be filled if my kind had no children Are you willing to have me bring children into the world?"
 'T cannot read this sign, by what right have I children" ?"
 "I must drink alcohol to sustain life, shall 1 transmit the craving to others 2"
 The propaganda was originated by Frederick H. Robinson, president of the Review.
 'These signs are self explanatory MT. Robinson said.

LESLIE'S REPRESENT
 ATIVE IN TOWN

MT. H. Brown, who is registered at the Stedman Hotel where he will remain for day or two, has just returned from trip to the interior where he visited all and every place of interest. MT. Brown has charge of the Alaska circulation of Les lies Weekly, the noted publication whose editor, Col Sleicher, visited Alaska recently.
 The Cordova Daily Times, whose place MT. Brown visited, has this to say about Leslies Weekly, in which a ser1es of articles is now being pub lished about Alaska. The Times says:
 "Leslie's has always been friend ly to Alaska, and was the first of the magazines to expose the con- yersation tallacy that was respon- siblc for the bottling up of the re- sources of this northland. At the time, Robt. Heinl made the trip through Alaska with Secretary Fish CTS party and upon his return to the states he took up our cause and lid effective work. Recently, Col Sleicher visited the coast towns and he is now writing of the conditions IS they actually exist"
 It is useless to say that the Cor dova Daily Times has not exagger- ated in its compliment of the great work done by that publication. Tn Leslie's Weekly, Alaska has a true friend.
