BACK TO THE FARM

This is a time of year when the
life turn back to the farm, The idea
of buying some little place out in
the country and earning living from
the soil is cherished In many minds.
IL one has an independent income,
he can perhaps conform to the defin-
it'on of gentleman farmer, as a
one has no very large savings, the
question whether man can turn his
back on the city and without farm
experience support a family from the
soil, becomes a vital one.
II man has lot of gumption
and practical sense of management
IL may not be so fiicult. But for
the average man from an Office,
fore familiar with ledgers and bill
boards than with soil and fertilizers
it is not an easy proposition.
or course he gets no end of help
from bulletins, experiment stations,
college extension services, etc. But
these helps cannot cover everything.
In the course Of raising every crop.
there come exigencles not covered
by any literature within his reach.
The traditions OF the ne'ghborhood
tell the farmers boy what to do.
But minus that experience, and with
his scientific advice many miles d s.
tant, the amateur is more or less
helpless.
Half OF the men from city who try
farm work give up because the phys
ical labor Is beyond their strength.
They can't afford to hire sufficient
men, and can't plough and pitch hav
themselves. The time when their
muscles could have been developed
has passed.
Still II is foolish to say that the
thing can't be done. The many wo-
men who have made success at
farming without doing hard labor
themselves, prove the thing is pos.
sible. The Back to the Sol man
must be content with small returns
for the first few years. Profits for a
few seasons may not come in cash
at all. but may simply exist in i'm
proved land, and the building of a
foundation for the future.

DISSATISFACTION

The, busy az tator who breaches
discomfort is apt to be regarded by
the compliment as not only a NUS
ance, but an evil. Nine times ou
of ten he is an ignorant demagogue
unguarded in his statements, care
less in his conclusions and unre
strained in his feelings-one who
ruthlessly tears down and destroys
some long consecrated temple. bu,
has not the invention nor the SIX i
to build in its place a better one, oil
even as good.
But the agitator, ignorant dema
gogue though he be, Is one OF the
most powerful elements for human
progress. He may, indeed, be an ul
Ger upon the surface OF the social
body, but he indicates the impur.ty
of blood that, II not needed, might
cause serious consequences.
Agitation, even of poor sort, is
the deadly foe to stagnation. IL the
long run, the right can never he
hurt, but must ever be helped by
agitation. 1t Is only evil which can
not stand before 1t.
Dissatisfaction is one Of the finest
forces in life. Without 1t there
would be no going forward. We
would all stop where we are and ad.
mire ourselves and our surround ngs
all the rest of our useless days, un-
til God should turn us back into soil
that we might once more become fer
tile.
Dissatisfaction is the handspring
Of aspirat on. or course, there can
be dissatisfaction without aspiration.
Envy, malice and the other base
passions may be the source of dis
satisfaction that warps the soul in
stead of st mulating It.
II a mans mind and heart be
sound, his dissatisfactions will deter.
mine his aspirations, and aspiration
is the mother Of all self-sacrticing

THE FIRST JOB

A host of young fellows just out
of school and college are this month
for the first time drawing a regular
pay envelope. No wages earned In
later life, even II much larger. ever
looks quite as good to them as the
first Saturday night payment. To
many 1t means financial independ'
ence OF their parents OF which they
have long dreamed.
The agile fingers of bow often
command q range OF pay quite out
OF proportion to what he should earn
later on. A fifteen year old young
ster feels mighty proud earning

swaggers around in the loafins plac-
ca of the town showing his roll, and
treating the girls. But lei him re-
feet that II he were to fold circn-
lars all his life, he would never get
much more than that.
Most young men are anxious for
big pay quick. They can not af'
ford to wait. They want their eu'
tomobiles now and they do 1ot want
any old fashioned four cylinder ma
CHI mes either. They are looking tDr
short cuts to success, and ar, impa-

The thing for them to consider Is

them for better things later on.
In many employments requiring

man is practically useless for year

value to him. He should reflect
that a bus ness training must be i'aid

showing how bold robin may become
when Its food supply lie threatened. A
lady threw into her garden a boiled
potato for the birds, and shortly after.
ward robin appeared and began to
peck at the food. Soon the robin was
interrupted at its meal by half grown

potato. To the surprise Of the lady
who was watching the proceedings the
robin Immediately attacked the rat
and drove 1t OF. In little while the

encounter took place. the robin once
more proving victorious. A third essay

Turtles Of Yucatan.

Turtles Of nearly every known va

island OF Cozumel. OF the Yucatan
coast, and their capture Is a favorite
sport with the islanders. The carey
is the most profitable. This turtle
from which the tortoise shell OF CON-
merce is obtained-is comparatively
scarce, and 1t frequently happens that
weeks pass without any OF them being
secured. II is this element OF chance
that makes fishing for turtles so at

CONTROVERSY
IS OF CONCERN
TO The PUBLIC

AS the problems. confronting the
railroads are OF concern to the gen
eral public, involving as they do all
classes Of people, you will, no doubt
be Interested in noting the following
quotation from recent issue OF a
bulletin issued by the Chamber of
Commerce OF the United States, NJ
Washington, d. c., which relates to
certain demands Of railroad operat-
ives:
I'm January, 1915, the attention of
the officers and Board of Directors
OF the National Chamber of Com
merce was called to the fact that
grave d 'fferences were impending be-
tween the railroads and certain Of
their employees which, II not adjusted
might result in serious interruption
10 transportation. Believing that
such interruption Of traffic operation
wcul be national calamity, resolu-
tons were formulated and adopted
at the Fourth Annual Meeting in
February, instructing the Board Of
Directors to appoint a committee to
investigate such phases of the situa-
t on as might relate to the interests
Of commerce and the public.
"Such a committee was at once
appointed and after thorough inquiry
into the subject Of the resolutions.
presented to the Board Of Directors
a report which was made the basis
of a referendum and submitted to
the constituent organizat.on April
20, 1916.
"a single recommendation was
placed before the membership Of
the Chamber. Under the by laws the
vote closed at midnight on June 9,
1916, when 366 organizations had
filed ballots. These organizations
are situated in 40 states, the District
of Columbia and Hawaii.
I'm the balloting, each organiza-
ton casts as many votes as it may
have delegates at an annual meeting
of the Chamber. The number Of the
delegates which an organization may
have depends upon the number of It's
members, but in no case falls below
1 or exceeds 10.
1.-THE recommendation of the com.
mittee and the result Of the ballot
Ing were as follows:
9s7 3.4 votes in favor; 20 IA votes
against. Congress should be asked
to direct the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make immediate in
vestigation and to present report as
soon as practicable, as proposed by
the committee.
In accordance with the vote, the
Chamber is committed to the recon.
mendation in that more than one
third Of the voting strength OF the
Chamber was recorded and more
than two thirds cast favorable votes,
representing more than 20 states in
favor Of the proposition.
Further than the foregoing indi.
Gates several bodies voting against
the measure qualified their negative
votes by stating that they believed
investigation should be made but
suggested that somebody other than
the Interstate Commerce Commission
do It.

AUTHORITY FOR
 CARE 0F SAILORS
WILL BE GIVEN TREATMENT
Governor Strong Wires to Marshal Brenneman to Have Men from the Launch Wrecked on Barren Isles, Cared for at Territorial Expense.

Marshal Brenneman today received telegraphic advices from Gov. Strong authorizing that care be given the two shipwrecked sailors from the launch Success, now at Seidovia.
 The message reads: "You are au- thorized to remove the two ship wrecked sailors to hospital at Anchor age or Seward for treatment" This refers only to the two men who were reported by the deputy marshal at Seldovia to be there and suffering from badly frozen feet.
 Following this authorization Mar shal Brenneman will instruct his dep- uty at Seldovia to send the men on the first boat available to where they can be properly cared for.
 Although the bodies on the beach at Barren Islands were mentioned in the marshal's message to the govern or, the reply makes no mention of them and they will have to remain there until authority is granted by the governor to incur the necessary expenses, or they are buried by pri- vate parties.

Charles Whalen, the well-known miner of Valdez, is now in New York, where he went on business connected with the Peabody property in Sul- phide gulch. Charles McCullum is in receipt of a letter written on the sta tionery of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, from which it may be deduced that the writer is stopping at that popular hostelry. In the letter he says he is having a swell time, but states that "a fellow has blush on his face from morning to night in this hotel,' ; and in this connection makes the statement to the effect that the ladies who patronize the place are wearing somewhat abbreviated costumes. ,
 He states that he will soon return to Valdez and will have some work for the boys, as considerable devel- opment is proposed or the Peabody property in Sulphide Gulch this sura- mer.

SAYS BEARS ON KODIAK
 HAVE BECOME RANDHEADED

It will take more than two or three years of enforced diet of straight meat and fish and loss of hair to seriously set back the bear popula- tion of Kodiak island, according to D. Winn, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries who has just returned from the North, says the Seattle P.-I.
 MT. Winn made trip to Kodiak island from Afognak, to make an in- vestigation of the big brown bears, and he found that while they had hard sledding for two years and part of the third year there are now plenty of greens and wild vegetables for MT. Bruin, and later in the year there will be plenty of berries.
 Kodiak island, says MT. Vim, in 1912. was covered with volcanic ash, at no point at depth less than II inches. The ash killed all vegetation, and as all bears are fond of mixed diet of meat, fish and vegetables they found 1913 and 1914 unpleasant from a dietary standpoint.
 Another effect of the fall of ash, according to MT. Vim, was the havoc it created with the furry coats of the animals. Bald headed bears are now as common on Kodiak island as bald headed men in the front row of a mu- sical comedy. The ash sifted down to the skins of the animals as it fell, and the first rain turned it to lye, which had the effects of almost tan ming the skins of the bears while yet part of their personal effects.

BRITAIN FACES FOOD CRISIS
 AS RESULT OF SUBSEA WAR

LONDON, May 20.-Hostile sub marines have been sinking each week about 60,000 tons of shipping with the regularity of clockwork and the consequent scarcity of tonnage is causing the British to look forward to food crisis which is believed by many to be not far off.
 About $1,5OO,0OO,OO0 worth of foodfood has to be brought to these shires every year. In normal times, with the help of neutral shipping, the British mercantile marine can just about manage it. But not so now.
 With the increase of enemy subma- rines neutral shipping becomes more and more shy of entering British wa sers and food becomes scarcer and dearer. 3y
