In mention ng Congressman Houson of Alabama yesterday as the leader of the prohibition move ment in the House, we touched the Source of official agitation for prohibition and tEe leakiest bucket in the brigade.

half of the fire department, or all the fire department and half of the schools or three-fourths of both of them (enough to make neither of them eficient) will have to go. No use saying what other ways can be found to make up the deficlt- the people consider themselves overtaxed now; besides, there is a egal limit to taxation, and the limit would not come near making up the deficiency.
 Hobson nor any other legislat, ure can prohibit a man making liquor for his own use, nor can any law be passed to keep any man from drinking as he sees fit, SC long as he is not habitual drunk. ard-the Constitution of the Unit. ed States guarantees a man sucI rights.
 Nowhere under the sun is there a land where personal rights anC personal freedom are demanded and desired more than in Alaska Most men are here in the searct for the land of greater persona freedom-here in search of peraon. freedom in the utmost, or to live off such men. No city the size oi Fairbanks anywhere on earth has less drunkeness than Fairbanks, or fewer people who suffer from the effects of drink. Not the greater part of our population drinks, nor will the smaller part of the popu- lation esteem 1t a favor or aid ii the larger population of non- drinkers take away from the min ority the right to drink a glass ot beer when the minority likes.
 If you wish to see our schools closed or reduced to minimum of efficiency; if you wish TO see oul fire departmen cut out or put down to a bucket brigade with doubled insurance rates, put ir with the prohibitionists and they will see that it comes that way. They have nothing to offer in lien of the revenues from Feaeral licen- ses: nothing that would be accept ed by a bank as ample security a. gainst the destruction of Fairbank.

Aphds Piant-Note

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A new disease of cucumbers, known
as the mosaic disease, has appeared
during the past few years in CONNER
cial greenhouses and in fields where
cucumbers are grown for picking pur-
poses. The disease has been known
longest and Is now most widespread
and severe in the middle West, where
tho industry of growing cucumbers for
picking is conferred. particularly In
the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, In
diana. Illinois and Minnesota. Recent
investigations of the disease have re-
suited in the discovery of its nature,
that 1t Is closely related to mosaic dis
eases Of other plants, and the present
indications are that 1t can be con-
trolled by the introduction of sanitary
measures and insect-cOntrOl methods.
Further experiments with control
measures are being carried out.

sofa it is commonly called "nubbins."
The disease is characterized i'm the
field by definite plant, fruit and leaf
symptoms. When plants are attacked
while very young. they are markedly
dwarfed by the action Of the disease,
growth Is slow, the runners are very
much shortened. the leaves are CORE
spOndingly reduced in size, the plants
blossom sparingly. and the amount Of
fruit is very much reduced. When old
er plants become diseased the principal
visible effects are on the subsequent
growth of vines and fruit, the vine tips
and leaves being dwarfed and notified
and the fruit malformed as described
elsewhere.
The leaves Of diseased plants are
dwarfed, often curled and wrinkled.

appearance in which areas of light and

H0RSERADISH AS SIDE LINE

Roots, After Which Trimmings
Can Be Made Use OF.

Horseradish is a profitable side line
or main crop. A little money can be
made on the side raising horseradish.
as it only requires the first outlay of
roots, after which trimmings can be
made for subsequent paintings. Enough
trimmings can be made to plant four
or five times as much space each sue
ceeding year. The main stalk is mar
keted. Side roots about the size Of a
lead pencil. tapering at the top to
shed the water, are planted In rows
three feet wide and T. to IA inches
apart in the row. The crop will grow
in any kind Of good, rich soil. 1t Is q

ments thus far carried out, the remedi-
al measures indicated by Our present
knowledge are (D the eradication or
control Of insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease, and (2) the
application of sanitary measures to
eliminate the sources Of infection. To
be most effective, these methods must
be carried out by all the farmers Of
community.
Rigid insect control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are
up and continued throughout the sea-
son, especially previous to the begin
ming of picking, and all mosaic d.
seased plants pulled and destroyed, az
well as plants with which they have
come i'm contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions, 1t
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there. AS previously stat
ed for field control, all disease plants
should be pulled and destroyed as
soon as found and the insects should
be eradicated to prevent their spread
ing the disease.

Of a lemon and several sprigs Of mint.
Keep on ice and at the last minute pour

not stand before serving. as the ginger
ale will lose its sparkle. A rather
strong and not too sweet ginger ale
should be used for this punch.

serve IL the luncheon il very light, and
q little extra nourishment Is wanted.
To make 1t properly-and II seldom il

blended. mixing the coffee and milk
well together and sweetening to taste.
1t is better, II possible. to use q sugar

until ready to serve and then add a

enouS1 cracked ice to all the glass. For

mnK shakes and fruit sirups may be
used.
To make a milk shake ali q glass
two-thirds full of milk; sweeten 1t to
taste with any fruit strip or with a
little of some strained preserve. II you
have not the strip. Fill the glass with
cracked Ice and shake together until
well mixed.
Fruit sirups can be made from straw
berries. raspberries. cherries or cur
rants. Cook a quart of fruit with q
pint Of water until well softened. then
strain and press out the juice through
