TANANA HAS FIRST MILL
 TO GRIND WHEAT

The Panama valley now boasts of a flour mill, the first ill the his tory If interior Alaska, if not in ths history of the whole territory On 8 recent boat, Mangus Nelson, one O the progressive rancheIs ot the district, received his flour mill and is now prepared to make his own flour from wheat grown on his farm. The mill is but the be- binuing, marking the commence msut of an epoch in tine history of agricultural interior Alaska. The sten from this period Of the little hand flour mill to the great milling establishment of the future may extend over a considerable pelFDd o. time, as world affairs are counted today, but at least one enthusiastic and successful farmer cf the di- trIct believes it will be in the life time of tn hardy pioneers that are now tiIHng the soil.
 Nelson intends only to make his own flour at this time, put the very fact that he is able to do it, indicates to other tanners that it will be but short time until many of them are installed in the ranches of the district.
 Many efforts have been put forth t9 Loom the industries of the Tan ana and the farmers would now like to rave some financier or capitalist ge around him enough people in- terested in the country to build one large mill that will be able to handle all the wheat raised in the territory, that it may be turned to flour and thus cut down the eX' pense 10 the consumer.
 To many this may seem an idle dream, but to the farmers who started to grow spuds and other vegetables when people jeereG al .hem, and who have proven the in dutry a success, it is e seri ous proposition.

DON'T KICK

There's no use to kick You cant make it stick Only once in a very great while. You lower your stock By cantankerous knock When you might succeed with a
 smile.
 Kind words are the best, The .!orld will attest, So if you are striving to win And would bring in the sheaves Just roll up your sleeves And tackle the job with a grin! Tbe earth moans with pain Every time you complain. Then search in your soul for a song.
 Be smiling like June, Your heart filled with tune; You'll find much in life that's not
 wrong!

 Many people believe that blonde. or light hair denotes affection and dark hair constancy. A person without hair is not devoid of character; far from It. The disposition of the average bald headed man is to show such solIcitude for the welfare of others, that he neg lects himself.

Like the man who never heard OF
Noah and the Flood because he hadn't
seen a paper for days. the national
guard mobilization and the trouble in
Mexico was news TO Louis Nencher,
when "A sergeant of Company G, of the
18th Regiment, found him at Chatham
Square and the Bowery late last night.
Louis is a member of Company G and
was missed at rollcall. Sergeant Buck
lev had been sent out to look for him.
War? Never heard of it," said
Louis when Buckley ran across HIM
"Lemme go home and tell the folks be-
fore GO

baked. Patrolman McArevey, Of
Traffic A, was called in TO mediate. and
the argument was continued IN the

around by the neck" was Wencher's
ultimatum.
Undaunted, Buckley notified the arm

down to take the recalcitrant soldier
to his command. They marched him
every step of the way TO Sixty-second
Street and Columbus Avenue.

Mr.. Hughes paid tribute to Brown

SENATE WAY ASK
4 DREADNOUGHTS
Committee Predicts In
crease to Eight Capt.
tai Ships.

Washington, June 21.-A proposal for
four battle cruisers and four dread
noughts in this years naval con-
struction programme was discussed to-
day by the Senate subcommittee be-
fore which the naval bill is pending.
While no decision was reached Chair
man Tillman predicted after the con-
ference that the eight capital ships plan
would be approved. Senators Swanson
and Lodge. the other two members, said
a substantial increase was certain over
the House building programme Of five
battle cruisers and no dreadnouRhts.
President Wilson AID Secretary Dan
iels outlined TO Senators Tillman and
Swanson at a White House conference
yesterday their belief that the House
building provisions should be expanded.
The Administration determination,
Mr.. Tillman said tonight. had found a
ready response in the subcommittee,
which had indicated its willingness to
at least meet the Presidents recon-
mendatious. II is understood that
eight capital ships would more than
satisfy the Administration, and that
foUr battle cruisers and three dread
noughts is the most II has hoped for.
I'VE are going TO give the navy the
entire increase in personnel that they
ask for. too" said Senator Tillman. 81
think the total enlisted strength they
want is about 10000 men. or an in
crease of 2O.7OO men. The sub-cOm
mittee already has practically agreed
on that. We are seeking to get the re
yised bill TO the full committee the last
OF the week, and will try to get 1t in
the Senate early next week
The record of Secretary Daniels was
defended in the Senate during the day
in a prepared speech by Senator
Thomas. lie declared that the criti-
cism of the Secretary originated with
those who could not use HIM and
with self-seeking contractors.
