The Vindication Of Wilkes.

Sir Douglas Mawson, the Australian
explorer. is the first British scientist
who has visited Antartica who has the
decency to give Commander Wilkes,
the intrepid American voyager of the
1S40s, due credit for his discoveries in
the frozen South.
There is no question about it, as Ed J.
win Swift Balch. Of Philadelphia, has
long since pointed out that Wilkes did
discover the somewhat seemingly dis
continuous and isolated masses Of the
Antarctic Continent west Of Victoria
Land. For years. however. beginning
with Ross. who followed Wilkes, and
continuing down to Sir Clements Mark
ham and Scott himself, British ex-
plorers and geographers not only took
wilkes Land" off their charts, but
made light of Wilkes's discoveries, and
even indulged in rather bitter person.
al attacks.
They were all fond Of the phrase
that I'VE sailed over Wilkes Land in
the open Antarctic Sea-" and they re-
fused to connect the elements Of the
Antarctic Continent which Wilkes saw
with the continent as finally deter
mined by later Investigators. The con-
troversy all grew out of the eastern
most land which Wilkes's lookouts be
lieved they saw" but about which he
made no scientific claim. However, that
one Briton comes out for fair play for
Wilkes after IS years is a matter for
congratulation.-Phil Ledger.

Value Of q Quart Of Milk.

When you sell a quart Of milk for
seven cents you are giving more food
for the money than the buyer can get
in most other forms. It is twice as
cheap as mutton or fresh fish, six times
as cheap as dried beef. nearly three
times as cheap as beef chuck, 40 per
cent cheaper than pork loin. three
times as cheap as beef loin, nearly
three times as cheap as eggs. The
staples that cost less in proportion to
feed value than milk are such things
as potatoes, rice, dates, corn meal,
prunes, cheese, wheat bread and beans.
The above figures will hold good in
the average interior regions of the ma
tion-Farm and Fire8ide.
