MEN or MILITARY AGE

Washington, July 6.-How many
able-bodied citizens of military age
have We in the United States?
The bureau of the census, while it is
unable to make any estimate of the
pro portion who are able-bodied, est-
mates that the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens-that
is, foreign-born persons who have de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens-1S to IS years of,age, inclusive,
is not far from 100000.
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease Of approximately ten per cent
in the population of the country since
the census of 1910 When that CEN
sus was taken the total number of
male citizens and prospective citizens
18 years of age and over but under
46 was 19,183,000. Of this number,
14,224,O00 were native whites, $751;
600 were foreign-born whites who had

their intention of doing so, 100000

AUTO TRIPS AND PICNlCS

Automobile excursions from one
town to another are becoming more
and more popular every year and they
are a great help to the business men
and farmers of the state. A large
number of towns in this section as
we'll as other parts of the state are
taking up the work begun several
years ago when get-acquainted trips
of this kind were started. In these
trips, which usually last one day, the
business man finds chance to meet
his neighbors and the farmer gets
many new ideas as he passes one farm
after another.
These trips are not confined to the
people of the cities, as it has become
quite customary for the farmers and
residents of villages in their territory
to organize excursions lasting full
day, and sometimes more, on which
calls are made at many places, and a
general feeling of neighborliness is
promoted.
The neighborhood picnic is one vari-
alton which is becoming popular. One
of the largest of these ever held in the
state was the picnic recently held at
Arvilla, Grand Forks county, under
the auspices of the Arvilla Farmers
Club and the Grand Forks Better
Farming association. The gathering
was monster affair. Eight hundred
autos were parked on the grounds, and
more than 1000 people were present.
There were music, addresses, baseball
and other games, and the evening was
devoted to dancing. But the most
pleasing feature of all was the neigh
borly spirit which was manifested.
Families gathered under the trees and
visiting with other families, and new
friendships were created.
This was but one of many such
gatherings. At Devils Lake in the
near future similar gathering of the
people in that district will be held
and plans are being made for many
others, some of which will be very
large.

PLAN MOVEMENT TO
FURNISH LOTUS FUNDS

A movement is under way among
famers Of the northwest to raise an
endowment fund and to invest it in
farm mortgages for the benefit of
George S. Lotus and his family.
The movement has been started by
the Equity members, but it is stated
the funds are to be raised by popular
subscription among all the farmers.
The funds are to be turned over to
the Equity Rural Credits Association
at Fargo.
1t is said Mr.. Lotus was never a
man of large means, and that, al
though his salary as sales manager of
the Equity cooperative exchange has
been paid regularly since his illness
as before, the family funds have been
almost exhausted by the expenses at
tendant upon his long illness.
The fund is to be raised in recogni-
ton of his services to the farmers or

Government Makes Last
Payment on Alaskan Road

Washington, July 6.-CIe more Bis
step was taken in the development by
Uncle Sam of Alaska today when he
paid the final 100000 for title to the
Alaska Northern railroad.
Five hundred thousand dollars OF
the million and half purchase price
was paid in February.
Today's payment marks the trans
fer of the title to the property from
the original owners to the American
government. From the time of the
first payment until the final payment
today the title has been in the hands
of a trust company here.
This final payment is forerunner
of the actual opening of the coal lands
of Alaska to settlers this fall.
Secretary of the Interior Lane does
not know exactly when this opening
will be announced, but it is expected
to be before early winter sets in.
The Matanuska coal fields of Alaska
are among the richest in the world;
and the small miner is to be given a
chance to make living and compel.
ence from small claims Uncle Sam
will parcel out.
The government has carefully guard
ed these coal lands from monopoliza-
ton by big holding companies. Iii
stopping the development of all
claims, regardless of who held them,
just to be sure to keep the lands from
being monopolized, Uncle Sam has
stood up so straight he has bent over
backward. Hundreds of small inves-
tors will welcome the opening of the
fields.
Work began on the extension and
improvement of the government rail-
road line to the heart of the coal field,
is being rushed to completion by thou
sands of laborers. Some Of these
groups of workers have built new
towns on their way up the line.
The line should be completed by the
end OF this year from Anchorage to
Matanuska. From there it is to be
pushed up from Matanuska river
through the Susitnas valley.
Secretary Lane said today he con.
sidered the Alaska Northern good
investment at $1,500,000 because the
actual value of the property; its cost,
that is to say, to the men who built
it originally, was $2,750,000.

A WORD AND A SMILE

Don't hurry through life with a frown

And never a moment to spare,
For the word and the smile, that is al
ways worth WHILE.
In a world full of trouble and care.
There are others with burdens as
heavy as your,
Hearts weary with aching and pain,
That are longing to hear just a word
of good cheer,
Will you let them be pleading in
vain?
Don't feel that misfortune has singled
you out
And made you her own special prey,
For you may be sure there's no home
so secure
But that trouble will enter some
way.
There is sunshine for all in this work.
aday world,
But you'll have to go after your
share,
And you'll miss it, of course, if you're
hurried and cross,
With never a moment to spare.
And if you have sunshine and love in
your home,
If pleasure and plenty abound,
Don't hoard up your store, you'll en-
joy it the more
If you scatter a little around.
For the light Of your smile can be
seen from afar
And heaven records it's full worth f.;
Tho you whisper your word, yet its
echo be heard
To the fathermost ends of the earth
