loss

A MONEY MAKER.

Herman Yates, a young farmer of
the Winona section, is reported to have
sold $1240 worth of potatoes from 10
acres of ground and then planted the
land to winter wheat as soon as the
spuds were dug. In this way he will
secure another fine crop next fall. In
time to come such methods of farm
ing will do away with summerfallow-

FLIRT PERIL GROWS AS ONE
MORE is PICKED UP


who preys alike on mother, daughter,
wife and sister made his appearance
again yesterday. This time it was
Marshall Fields store that figured as
his hunting ground.
Miss Eva Dublin of 3341 w. 18th st.
ventured into the loop and along
State street yesterday afternoon to
buy a few things.
Several times as she walked along
the crowded street, where one must
bump and rub against almost anyone
else, she noticed man following
her.
But Eva never sympathized with
girls who cause a scene and had men
arrested for annoying them in Chi
cago's loop. So she went about her
business and tried to forget that the
man was trying to attract her atten-
ton.
All along State street, through sew
eral stores and into Marshall Fields,
he logged her steps. Once inside
Fields he seemed to get courage to
speak to her.
Hello, there, grille, he is accused
of saying. He smiled and ogled her
just as all department store f1irts do,
Eva said
The girl was too scared to cry out,
so she turned her head and quick
ened her step, hoping to escape his
attentions by running away from
him.
But this man was a sticker. He
twirled the big black mUstache which
had aided. him before in just such sit
uations and hustled right after her
They went out Of the store.
At Madison and Wabash he caught
up to her again and spoke, she says.
This time Miss Dublin knew what to
do. She called Traffic Policeman c.
Coakly from the street and pointed
out the man.
Policeman Coakly also knew what

detail. At the station there was no
hesitation in booking him as a f1irt;
they get them almost daily.
The man gave his name as Louis
Spena, 35, of 815 S. HaIsted st. He
said he thought she was a Greek and
that she wanted his company.
The police are investigating to see
if he is an old timer in loop flirting
or if he is just a beginner who has
come to realize that the easiest place
to insult woman is in a crowded
department store, where she fears to
complain because she will attract a
crowd.
Six policewomen were assigned
last week to catch firts on State
street, home of Chicago's depart
ment stores. The police have recog-
nized the flirt peril for years.
The first pOlicewoman the city had
was placed in department stores to
watch f1iTts and shOplifteTs. But the
recent occurrences have caused the
force to be enlarged.
Only yesterday Paul Girten of 1900
w. Madison St, taken in by this
squad, was fined $25 and costs. He
stood at Madison and State streets
and, according to the lady cops, smiI-
ed at every woman who looked at
him. He was accused of having a
baby stare and wearing a blue rib
bon on his hat. He also visited de-
partment stores.

THE REAL TROUBLE IN ENGLAND
iSt. Louis Repuhlicl

England's Cabinet crisis cliis attention to the striking difference between the English and American Executives The American Executive is mna who is, by the Constitution Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. His Cabinet is body of advisers. responsible to him, and to him only The English Executive is body of 2S men. is at ultimate decisions matters of military policy rest with single will-that of the President. In England the other hand, they rest with ma jorty of a body almost large the United States Senate in the First Congress.
 In matters of legislation there is power in num- bers it is a common sight to constructive laws cussion and enactment. But in executive matters there is weakness in numbers; mems timdity are cumulative, while their positive qualities obstnately refuse to be added up The present trouble in Eng land has resulted in proposal to reduce the Exc cuve, far the conduct of the is concerned, from 2S men to four, who shall have power to act without reference to their decisions to the Cabinet That would be an improvement-but the proposed Council would still be four times too large. In running rapids one pilot is enough and there is peril in more
 The London Star points out that there two war parties. far strategy is concerned those who favor supreme effort in the West and those who would merely act defensvey in the West and stake all drive from Saloniki This is conceiv- able enough we know there are an Eastern and a a situation to permit composite Executive to waste its energies in halting between two irreconclabe policies-as Englands appears to have done.
 The choice that presses in England is not be- tween Asquth-who by the way. is a curously m- personal figure to the American imaginaton-and the fiery and competent Lloyd-George; 1t is between such Executive and never will be successful in the task of directing policy turing above all else an unflinchng commitment o some one plan among possible many, on the )ne hand and real unification of directive control ,n the other It is pity that the English them selves cannot see this and by one of their amazing md characteristic illogical governmental expedents pply the remedy Meanwhile we in the United States iave from the first been guarded against the evils if just such misuse of the democratic principle

A JAPANESE OPINION

It is reported that the people, or at least the newspapers, in Japan considerably exercised over the loan to China which was made by American bank CTS to finance railroad building under agreement to employ American engineers and American ma terial.
 One Japanese newspaper is quoted saying that the group of nations consisting of France Russia, Great Britain and Japan will permit other nations to trample upon their privilege to make loans in China while remaining outside of the group.
 When Germany also in the group the United States was expected to make sixth power in the plans for the sixpower oan President Wilson decided not to commit the United States to arrangement under which China was to be cajoled into accepting loan under terms which displeasng to that nation.

THE PROPOSED BULK SALES LAW"

The proposal that the Alaska Legislature pass a Bulk Sales Law is based real need. The GUS tom of going into business "on shoestrng' in Alas ka and then selling the business to some who has few dollars to advance, and shutting creditors out bids fair to become habit Something should be done to give creditors of business chance at the purchase money when transfer of ownership takes place.
 Such a law could prove hardship man who is attempting to play the game fairly. and its provis- ions ought to be enforced against who seeks to beat his creditors. Further than that, such law would add to the credit of all reputable firms. It would make the wholesalers and others doing busi- ness with business firm feel more secure when ex- tending credit. It would add to the stability of busi- ness in general It would prevent losses which do no one any good. and injure many Laws that pro- teet creditors and make more secure accounts make business freer and safer
 Practically every State in the Union has Bulk Sales Law" according to those who are urging it upon the Alaska Legislature and the development Of Alaska has been such that it is needed here. There was q time when business men knew practically every one in business in the Territory. that time has passed not to return. We mus, do business it is done elsewhere and as the experience of others have shown to be safe and sound.

 q. One who or that which corks. 2. (slang) An argument that puts a stop to discussion. 3. An instru- ment to. stretch women's shoes. 4. (Slang) A smart, confident fellow; a good clever fellow.
 From the latter definition it might be inferred that as heretofore there has been no woman member of Con gress, so heretofore there has been no woman "corker." If Miss Ran kin, living up to the dictionary, is something that puts stop to dis cussion," she may prove to be a new kind of cloture-an animated clo- ture, as it were.

A FINANCIAL OFFICER TURNED SEER

John Skelton Williams. Comptroller of the Cur rency, has a reputation for vision based on common sense For example. he made address al Indian apolis in September 1914 just when the bewilder ment and despair caused by the derangement of busi ness in consequence Of world war at their deepest. He said:
 My study of the problem has led me to
 the conclusion that will not find t diff
 cult adjust ourselves to buy back in the
 course of few years-if they should be or
 fered us-and pay for. all the American se-
 curitIes that Europe has or which it may de-
 material for the food and clothing that Eur
 ope. Asia and Africa must buy With these
 and other products needed and demanded by
 the world cancel our obligations and
 redeem securities at fair prices to their
 holders instead of sacrifice and panic prices.
 Judging by all experiences of the past and
 all the visible facts and signs of the present
 time of growth and expension, of creation
 and extension in all directions is just ahead
 Our task is not only to hold ourselves
 steady and secure but presently to help feed
 and clothe and shelter and finance the nations.
 No American. either in official in private life spoke clearer in that hour of dark ness than Mr. Williams and it is well to bear this in mind in considering the remarkable message he brought to the Southern Commercial Congress at Norfolk.
 He began by pointing out that since the be- gan the United State has loaned Europe two billion dollars, at full interest; bought back securities to
 
 nine billions liberal profits and given to charity through all channels about 70 millions Comparing our benevOlence with our national income he finds be onetwentieth of l per cent.
 And so he sounds the note of alarm. "The great est dangers that turk in our abundant riches he says are not the peris of imitation and oyerexpanson for these be dealt scientifically with and evaded as I have stated. in our new banking system. The real dangers those Of luxury and enervaton and of and too Offa follow in the wake of oyerfowing prosperity" He challenges the morals of business methods. For the munitions and equipment of war We have been supplying to the belligerent countries have taken sometimes cruel advantage of their necessities and have charged them prices which welngh ntol- erable-prices which have yielded in cases 200, 300 or 400 per cent. profit. How much have we given to those from whose purchases from us we have derived fabulous ptofits?" And he pleads with the American people to dedicate less than per of their income profits for the past the sOulstirrng cry of the starving and the per
