There is now at Fairbanks creek the first underground shovel of the par tcuar design of the shovel that is there ever used, says the Fairbanks Times. It is patented shovel and was patented by J. W. Toole, the Fair banks creek miner. who had the shovel made and shipped in. With it he shipped a large generator and motor The entire equipment reached Cinema on the Alaska and was loaded on the cars there and hauled to Gilmore, where it was taken over the hill to the mouth of Fairbanks creek. There i, will be put in operation by it's de- signer and patentee.
 The new shovel was worked out to what seems to be a successful inven- ton by Mr. Toole. The shovel works underground and will handle accord

If an ordinary reporter had the right story might begin several ways and still lose none of it's power. But he has not. Newspaper ethics will not permit it. That is, to stick strictly to the newspaper style, many of the lit 1t expressions of interested parties must be forgotten. What man might say or do, for instance, if while cook ing meal, a bear should suddenly walk in the door cannot be printed in a new story, and that is what this is-a news story Incidentally, and wholly so, it is a bear story, says the Fairbanks Times.
 A bear is funny animal But so is a man. A. Chisholm, well known in Fairbanks, is the proprietor of the Birch lake roadhouse. His partner is Harry Simmons. Both are well ac- according to a recent arrival over the trail, Mr. Chisholm was in the kitch- en of the roadhouse cooking a meal. Someone walked into the room. Mr. Chisholm had his back to the door and as he was busy over the stove he did not turn around. He spoke think it was his partner. Getting no answer, Mr. Chisholm turned around. There beside him stood a big black bear. The bear at the time that Mr. Chisholm first saw it was as big as an elephant and since that time it

 GOOD IN EVERY WAY

has grown larger with each telling. when they come into a mans kitchen unsolicited, Mr. Chisholm jumped out of nearby window and ran to the chicken coop nearby where he locked himself in with the chickens To this day Mr. Chisholm has been unable to explain what protection a chicken would be against anything that wanted to do the griZZley bear hug, but any way he ran into the chicken coop and sought refuge among the feathered darling of Birch Lake.
 Harry Simmons enters the story and the kitchen at the same time. He sees MT. Bear and fearing that the food that Chisholm was cooking would not kill the bear if the bear ate it, Sim mons goes for his gun, gets it, takes deliberate aim and fires. The one shot "gets" the bear, and Alr. Sim mons then goes out and gets his part ner from among the chickens
 Bear steak is on the menu now at Birch Lake. MT. Chisholm still insists that it was either an elephant or some thing larger and that the meat will last the roadhousc for the next 9 year according to the size of the ani- nal, but Mr. Simmons insists that it was just a young cub, and that the steaks are as tender as the chickens with whom Mr. Chisholm took refuge. And chickens are so tender.

NEW METHOD OF WORKING

ing to the estimates 000 feet of bed rock in t;renty four hours. Mir. Toole will work lour men on the claim. Con scrvative estimates state that the shovel will do the work of seven men in eight hours.
 Mr. Toole has great faith in his in vcntion and will give it a practical test as soon as it can be installed. Pre- liminary trials and theory show that the invention is good one. What effect it will have on the placer mining of this camp is hard to say. If il is successful many of the shovels will doutblessly be installed in this district. Mr. Toole believes that they will be successful, and there are many practi cal miners who have seen them out lined who agree with him.

Of course when We consider raw products we
must carry the subject further on into the

we must pay for finished products. We shall
connne our consideration, too. TO those products
which have their origin on the farm either IN
the raw state or finished and manufactured
into edible or wezrable articles.
Let Us take wheat. for example. We all
know that the war has put the price OF wheat

whole country: city, town and rural population
as well are paying more for their four-there-

getting rich on q product which IL costs him
no more 10 raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money.
But wait = ninute-there are other things
20 consider in this matter OF growing rich or
% the war. Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too.
This means that while the wheat raiser IS
getting more for his product. he is also paying
some other agriculturisr more for his product

When l came to this farm l found
conditions Just about as one would find
them averaging anywhere in the coun-
try. The chickens were scrubs of every
variety-sOme fine CD eggs costing 10
cents a dozen had Matched chickens as
motley as Joseph's coat is supposed to
have been. The fowls literally scratch
ed for living and the A-shaped hOvers
were too small for my hens to get in,
there were 40 floors and every side was
as tightly weatherboarded as possible
with just a foUr-inch square hole at
one end. There was one square coop
with poultry wire around it. l tell
YOU OF this outfit TO show you that
know conditions and can tell you why
some Of you have bad luck with cape
worms, roup and cholera.
Cape worms are tiny, tiny creatures
on earthworms, sort of parasite like
ticks on cattle.
These unfioored coops stay on one
spot until il gets foul. then il is moved
and that foul place may be swept over,
but that does not purify the soil. The
proper thing 10 do is to have barrel
OF lime. And. Mrs. Farmer, have IL alb
solutely yours, then you can put 1t in
a dry place and use it as literally as
you please. 1t takes a good cover, not
fork that you can put yeur foot on and
push IL deep in the ground and really
turn the soil upside down and not break
the fork or just make a pretense of the
job.
This Farmer nearly had spasms when
had the back yard plowed up, but 1t
should be done at least twice a year.
And a regular poultry run should be
turned over oftener.
I am looking for cape worms every
day: there were too many here last
year for one blowing to rid the place
OF them. The hot, air-tight hovers will
cause roup. which is at first mild ca
tarrh: the chickens are so hot that when
the air outside strikes them they get
chilled and a cold is the result.

SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: Here 1 come re-
joicing over the fine rains that have
broken the drought that threatened us.
Some of the farmers had become dis
couraged, had plowed up seeds that this
rain would probably have sprouted.
I wonder how many of you, are like
yours truly, lovers of Sunday school and
hate to see them broken up by the all
day singings? In the winter the excuse
is that the roads are lad, the days short
and it's cold to drive. Then there is a
squirt of enthusiasm in the spring and
the all-day singings begin. Satan has
many a hearty laugh over the excuses
that so-called christians give for not
going to the house of God Nobody ever
went to church, or to Sunday school in
the proper spirit, to get a blessing, and
failed. Santan can put all sorts of
stumbling blocks in the way but the
spiritual side of our natures will be re-
freshed If we open our minds to the
songs and scriptures.
Roberta Starr, yours was a discourag-
ing proposition, and I hope that your
other places will be pleasanter. Perhaps
the reason you were sent there was to
show those people how far behind the
times they were. You were as much a
home missionary as those sent to the
mountains. I hope that you taught the
poor woman some nice breakfast dishes.
In my opinion breakfast is about our
most important meal, for we are start
ing a new day and the fuel to run the
nervous system, pump the blood, flusk
the bowels and supply the brain and
Drawn is then. put in the engine. An
engineer would be considered crazy if
he put stones in and tried to fire up,
or if he failed to put in anything.
Every school, no matter how limited
the curriculum, should have at least
a few fundamental lessons in domestic
science. The teachers are not paid
enough for them to be expected to be
experts but each county might have one
expert to give a week at time to each
school. But l guess I've said enough
on this line for this time. Let's hear
from the canning experts. tell us your
way of putting up good pickle, and some
of the unusual things.
Sincerely,
