Evade the Law by Putting
Fish Into the Butter

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Berlin, Nov. 10.-The authorities
have discovered a clever, though SIM
pie, method of getting around maxi
mum prices for butter and the general
prohibition OF selling it in more than
quarter pound lots. 1t consists of
"buttered herring" consisting of one
very small, thin herring, encased in
about a pound of butter, which has
been selling on the Berlin market for
some 9 marks pound.
Before the authorities discovered
the ruse dealers who had managed to
get both fish and butter from Den
mark and elsewhere had succeeded
in disposng of hundreds of pounds.
Many customers bought in twenty,
fifty and l0O-pound lots, gladly pay
ing the extraordinary price or any
price for the chance to get butter
again, even though most of them
threw away the tiny fish, and with it
lost some little of the butter that
chung to its skinny sides.

Indian Reservation
In Alaska Is Now.
Forest Reserve

Correspondence Of The Associated Prces.)
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE old
kassan national monument, consist
ing of thrty-eight acres within the
Tongass national forest, Alaska, has
been created by presidential procla-
nation as result of recommended
tons made by the secretary of agri-
culture. The tract embraces the
abandoned Haida Indian village Of
Old Kassan, situated on Prince of
Wales island, in southeastern Alaska,
about thirty miles west of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty Indian totem poles, five or
six of which are ciassed as exceeding
ly good specimens. In the deserted
village. there are also eight large
square buildings which were original
ly constructed according to the pc
culiar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best quail
fled know, represent the best spec
linens of Haida architecture that now
exist. The largest of these buildings
is approximately forty by sixty feet
in size and is made entirely of round
and carved timbers. There also re-
main a number of Indian graves, with
the typical small grave houses erected
by the Alaskan Indians.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of delapi-
dation and decay, and a certain
amount of vandalism by tourists and
souvenir hunters renders some form
of protection essential. An examina-
ton of the area was made jointly by
representatives of the forest service
and of the Interior department, and
reports strongly urging the establish
ment Of national monument were
approved by the secretaries of both
departments. The Smithsonian insti-
tuition strongly endorsed the propo-
sition for the establishment OF a ma
tional monument. The new national
monument will be protected and ad-
ministered by the forest service, as
is the case with all monuments To-
Gated within the national forests.

The friends of Hendrix college at Conway are demonstrating what can be done by persevering in a good cause. Ten years ago the iustitu- tion was struggling along without a cent of endowment, and owned $100,' coo. It's standing among the educa- tional institutions of the country was indifferent, and pr. A. c. Millar, one of the states most conscientious men. was being paid meagre salary to work with very unsatisfactory instru~ ments.
 Then the Rev. James Thomas. was appointed financial agent, and he went about the work or rehabilita- tion with characteristic zeal and energy. In three years time he had paid the debt and had raised $300, 900 for an endowment, $7o,O0O of thls amount having been given by the general board of education, ill New York.
 Two years ago the board offered s10O,O00 on condition that $300,000 be raised in Arkansas. Instead of thia. however, the friends of. the college decided to raise a total of haf mil lion of which $4O0,00O should be raised in Arkansas. Of this amount, $350,00O is to be added to the pres cnt endowment, making total of $65O,000, and S15O,0O0 is to be used in the erection of four new buildings, A dormitory, a gymnasium, science building. and 9 library. There are now on the grounds four buildings, including the presidents home, built at cost of $16.000. At meeting of the business men Of Conway, De. Cember 4, they voted to give $25,0 for the erection of the Conway build. ing, but it has not been decided what use will be made of it yet.
 Rev. James Thomas was again put in charge of the qmGaign, and the Rev. F. $. H. Johnson the Rec. H. r. Butler. w. B. Hubbll, business manager of Hendrix, and E. D. Irvine, a Little Rock business man, were named as his assistants. Since Nov. they have secured pledges aggrc. gating $50,000 in addition to tho New York gift. It is planned to make a thorough campaign os the state, and complete the endowment within the ext year.
 Hendrix is now the only A class college in the state, and it's B. A. degree is worth par all over the world. It has twelve instructors and 500 students. II is hoped that within the ensuing four years it will rank wish Trinity college. acknowledged 10 he the leading institution in al. Alcoholism.
