One Of the best treatments for
m0les, warts and other pigmentary or
excrescent blemishes Is electrolysls.
The manner Of operation is to run tho
tiny electric needle just under the top
cuticle of the mole and to turn on the
current, thus destroying the discolored
surface. A red scar remains for lit
tie while, then gradually whltens and
in a very brief time disappears alto

this crop, from reports, may not have
been threshed on account of the
scarcity of labor. The total wheat
crop for the United States and Cana
da last year was 1,3S1,000,000
bushels, and this years estimate is
only 100000.
This years grain crop, including
wheat, corn, oats, is LOO 100000
less than last year. Showing de-
cline in the wheat crop of 675,OOO,-
900 bushels.
Europe's demand on this country
and Canada for wheat will take a
large proportion of this. crop and at
advancing prices, and the business
conditions of this country being so
very active makes greater demand
for foodstuffs, than in times of de-
preston.
1t is very probable before the next
wheat crop is harvested this country
will have very limited supply of
wheat, corn or other grain, there
fore the prices for next season S
crop, would naturally, be very high,
even though we make bumper crop,
greater than the crop of 1915, we
cannot hope for any decline in the
cost of wheat and corn to the con-
sumer, as the cost of grain governs
the cost of foodstuffs. However, if
the farmers fail to SOW for big crop
of wheat, or by reason Of unreason-
able weather conditions in the wheat
belt, We should have another short
crop: the country would face food
famine. which could not be relieved
for several years. This is of vital
importance, and the situation has a
vital relation to the food supply of
this country and. the welfare of the
nation. The whole country is dis
turbed by the advancing cost of liv-
ing, especially is this true of food
stuffs. The people can buy fewer
necessities when forced to do so, but
life depends upon a sufficient supply
of food. Under such conditions the
farmers should be induced to in
crease the acreage to wheat in order
to meet these conditions, for they
exist.
1t is useless to say that the South
should give their attention more to
the production of food supply, and not
be tempted by the high price of cot
ton.
There is more. money in producing
a minimum cotton crop and getting
maximum prices, than growing a
maximum crop and getting a mini
mum price.
Let the farmers take these matters
under consideration and act. Sow the
best land you have to grain.
The conditions are not likely to
change for the better for some time
to come. The spring wheat crop of

Farmers, Sow Wheat.

One of the most material questions
before the people in this country to-
day is the food supply for the next
two or three years. Foodstuffs has
reached a point that seriously en-
dangers the welfare of a large part
of the people of this country. 1t is
necessary to practice economy in food
supplies on the part of millions OF
people, for there are no signs OF
cheaper food for the next several
years, and this should be seriously
considered by all farmers in planning
their crops for the coming year. They
should SOW more grain, and in this,
they should be encouraged by the
agricultural department of the gov
ernment and the States, and by all
bankers and other business men.
It has been suggested that an en-
barge be placed on the expectation
of wheat and corn from this country:
this would be unjust to the pro-
ducers, and they would not permit
congress to pass such a bill.
That would deprive them of the
right to sell their produce to any
country or anybody that wished to
pay the price. The grain growers
would no more submit to an embargo
on wheat and corn, than the cotton
grower would be willing to an en-
barge on cotton.
1 do not believe that congress
would give a minutes consideration
to a bill of this kind.
We should entirely dismiss from
our minds the idea of an embargo on
grain being exported from this coun-
try, and face the conditions as they
exist.
The grain crop of this country is
about five hundred million bushels
less than the crop of the preceding
year, (the wheat CROP. The esti-
mate by the government is 607 7,000,-
600 bushels for 1916, as compared
with 1,011, 100000 bushels for 1915,
a decrease of more than 100000, 900
bushels, and the weight of the crop
is less than last year, as the large
flour mills claim that it takes about
80 pounds more wheat to make a
barrel of -four this year than last, on
account of the lightness of the wheat
berry, and on this account the esti-
mate is reduced to around 550,0o0,-
600 bushels for the wheat crop of the
United States, against 1,011, 100000
bushels for 1915. This alone will
justify an advance in flour from
$3.50 per barrel in 1915 to $3.50
per barrel before the holidays.
The wheat crop of Canada is placed
at 59,000,000 bushels for 1915 as
compared with 370,OO0,O00 bushels
in 1915, and a considerable part of

Dividing Profits of an Office.

Is it legal for a candidate to agree
to divide the profits of an office? 1t
is in West Virginia in certain cases.
The code of that State forbids the
sale or letting to farm" Charming
out) of public Office. The purpose
evidently is to keep a man from get
ting an office and then letting others
hold it at less salary than the man
elected receives.
Two brothers of West Virginia
named Shinn, farmed in partnership.
They worked together and divided
profits equally. J. O. Shinn got to
hankering for public office. He be-
came a candidate for sheriff and was
elected. Before he entered the cam
paign he made a contract with his
brother, R. P, by the terms of which
the latter was to keep on running
the farm while J. o. was to perform
the duties of sheriff. The profits of
both the farm and the sheriff's office
were to be divided equally between
the two brothers.
Then R. P. took notion to run for
office. He succeeded ]. O. as sheriff,
while J. O. was elected State Senator.
The agreement already made by the
brothers provided that campaign ex-
penses should come out of their COM
mon fund and office profits should go
into a common fund.
Fraternal affection did not hold out
to the end. AS sheriff R. P. paid
about $500 to a school and road dis
trict, and by error no account of this
was made in the settlement and dis
tribution of profits. R. P. had paid
J. O. too much and he asked ]. O. to
return one-half of the $500. ]. o.
refused, and his lawyers said it was
violation of the Code of the State
to farm an Office out. J. O. had been
party to the contract, but his attor
neys tried to save him from paying
what was due by showing the whole
arrangement was illegal.
The West Virginia Court of Ap-
peals held the arrangement legal.
1--WE can see no wrong in this" said
the court. Hence the brother who
had been overpaid in the division of
the profits of sheriff's office, Sena-
tors Office and farm was required to
turn over to the other brother $400.

price of flour and this crop does not

this, and to some extent will relieve
the situation here.

CARIBOU MAN
 NOW ON FAR COAST

Ire Eskimo which unpublished b. the bureau of education, edited by nyfed Byans, and printed by the Nugget, issues from the press today (Oct. IA. The present number is entirely Ireadable from beginning to end. A simply 'worded, lucid ar ticle on the reindeer situation nd- dressed to Eskimos is the principal contribution. It deals clearly with the ownership of deer by natives and whites and contagns good .ad- vice to the former as to their 'du- tie, in the matter. The editorial eqnibs are exceptionally bright. In addition to many items of interest and some short verse by Mrs. Darl- ing there are two talks to .Eskmos by experienced reindeer natives on the subjct of the care of the herds and these are rich because of the unusual English construction in which they are framed. The ad- vice to Eskimos throughout the little monthly paper is 80 sensible that no reasonable person can help endorsing it in every detail.

AN HONEST OBITUARY

Frank Waller s'dead. He was a unique character. An honest con- mant is difficult to.make in a news paper. We do not want to say an uLkind thing about him. He put mo- thing into this world and got no thing cut of it. His hoarded wealth brought him an early grave, and he could take none of it with him. He wa honest as'he saw honesty, obey ed the law of the land when 1t cost him nothing, neighbored with no one, trusted no one, got all he could, and kept all he got. His up- perm1gt philosophy of life was false one-that is, that q man with money in his pocket must of neces- sity have friends and happiness, He contracted no debts, gave nothing t
 e1arity or public enterprise, knew nothing about the high cost of 'liV- iEg for he bought nothing he could do without, traveled none, read little, never spent a cent foOlishly, never invested or gambled. Many lad of 10 has seen more of life worth living than he. He belong e. to no societies, fraternal or re- HgCus. He enjoyed making good deals in buying and selling. He was sober, industrious, independent, made his own living and helped no ore, and was a sticIler for the last pound of flesh allowed by law. He has passed to a reward if there is a reward for such as he.-Mar- quette Tribune.

After making q tour over the TurAagain Arm section of the U. s. railroad, Chairman Edes stated that in his opinion the 'difftculties from snow slides in that section had been .somewhae over estimated, says the seward Post in a recent issue. He stated that by following the survey laid out by the commts- sion engineers he did not believe eve. 5000 or 4,OOO feet of snow sneds would be necessary.
 ''This question Of shedding can only be settled by experience. "'said he. "If is possible that we may not need that much, but I am sure We will not need any more, The line has been kept away from the loot of .gulches' where slides are most serious, by allowing the rock ills across the mud flats, the material being aYaiIble from cuts which must be made.".
 ChIrman Edes was accompanied Oil his trip by R. J. Weir, 'englneer in charge at this end. They coV- cred all the ground between Kerr and Potter creeks and the chair man was-very well pleased with pro grrss made both under Wets and As sistart Engineer Hansen, who is in charge out from Anchoragee.

SKAGWAYANS SHOWED AP-
 IRRIGATION OF DRY VOTE

Last night, in response to a gen eral invitation issued by tEe To- cal members of the w. c. T. 'U., nbout 175 men, women and childg en attended the jubilee which was giv ! in the Methodist church as n fit ting celebration of the success of prohibition throughout Alaska in general and Skagway in particular.
 A program in which was included musical numbers by the Skagway band, Instrumental and vocal num- bers Iy local talent, and short ad- dresses by bushes men and other prominent men and women of Skag- way was well received.
 The rendition of the Creepy song," b. three teeny little misses, Eileen Lynch, Harriet Towne, and Dorothy Dandsborough, resulted in an encore for the little advocates of better homes for all.
 Sweet and Low" as sung by seven members of the church choir was very pleasing, and Prof. Sel- ,mer's violin solo was good. MT. G. J. FarwelPs organ selection, as sisted by the Misses Carol Caskey and Marjorie Brown in vo- cal duet, was novel and well gre sented. !
 The speakers, who were introduc- ed in turn by Mir. Andrew Steven son, rreSented their views of the results of prohibition in short five-miuute. talks, and all were decidedly interesting, while the numbers bv the band were good.
 Following the program the lunch, consisting of doughnUts and coffee, both of which articles were of the highest quality, rounded out the evening entertainment, and it is needless to say, were well .reoeiv- ed.

from rail head at Kern creek and supp slies distributed to the various station gangs. This trail is near ly complete.
 Good work by the Alaska road commission Grew under Martin Lanning is being done between In dian creek and Bird point, accord ing to the railroad officials.
 Driving of piles for the Kern crtek bridge has been completed and the bridge iron has been land ed tbrre from Anchorage by barge. Lumber flor the bridge is due here on the barge Smith and will be'sent rur ou the line as soon as 4t arrives. The completion Of this bridge will be quite. a factor dur ing the winter as it will save sled drivers the trouble of making the steep pull out of Kern creek gulch. Over twenty station gangs are 1t work along the arm, of which ten are working out of Kern creek.
 The steam shoVel.at Potter cretA | is bIsy digging through gravel bark at that point and supplying grade building material for long fill.
 To provide medical aid for those who are injured during the winter in the hard rock section along the arm, Q physician will be on duty at Potter creek and a nurse to apply first aid will be at Kern creek. It is estimated that 200 men will be working between Kern creek and Giriwoo all winter and all injury cases from this end will be sent to seward while those nearer Pot ter creek than kern will be taken Ito the Anchorage hospital.
 ! Under present plans the gap on Turnagain arm will be shortened to less than 20 miles by spring and it is possible that the road will be con nected through 'before the freeze up next winter.
