THREE NEWBORN STARS

The discovery of three newborn stars of suns beyond the Milky Way proves of great interest to scientists
 Notable in itself is the discovery of these three newborn which doubles the number of new thus found in spiral nebulae the greatest value of the discovery is the opportunity has af forded Astronomer Curtis to strengthen the island universe" theory of the spiral nebulae
 This island universe" theory is that each of the spiral nebulae beyond the Milky Way is in itself vast universe suns almost unthinkab1e dis tance from unverse-the Milky Way. These of about the fifteenth magnitude. star of the least twenty thousand light years away-that is to light from such star, although light tray sand miles a second
 have been of the thirteth magnitude before their burst, and far distant twenty million light years He believes that the smaller spiral nebuae ten to twelve hundred times than the nebulae of minutes in the heavens. which would have actual diameter of nearly sixty thousand light years. Dr. Curtis suggests the possi- bility that there may be absorbing material in the spiral nebulae which would reduce the apparent bright of these stars. Discussing the difference between the stars which have been discovered in galaxy, which the average of the fifth and half magnitude and the three which he has discovered in spiral nebulae he points out that the six stars discovered spiral nebu. lac are on the average ten magnitudes fainter and thereof hundred times far away the average

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The nation approves and will support the concentrations of the President to Congress. MT him. and his statement of existing conditions and those that must exist precedent to the cessation Of hostilities and the beginning of constructive and stable peace clear and understandable. The question why the United States is at war has been answered in such to be capable of no misconstruction.
 After all there nothing for President Will son to do but ask for declaration of against Austria. Without it both Rumania and Italy might be persuaded into believing that they had been de serted by this nation in their time of greatest tra vail and after their tremendous national sacrifices It is of the prime necessities of the great con flict, painful though it will be to the long existing friendship with the people of Austria and Hungary. The justification is found in the agelong maxim that in situations such as we now face those who are not with us must be counted against In this struggle those fittest survive will be tr umphant and it is belief that bespeaks our fitness Austro-Hungary has elected to cast her lot with militarsm and the world plans of Prussia The United States stands for democracy and world peace There is no compromise. The sword must decide between us.
 It is eminently proper that the nation should take greater precaution against enemy aliens and the Presidents recommendation for additional legis laton to that end should be followed quickly
 There will be disposition to question and DOS sibly to oppose further price regulation It was an undertaking fraught with danger from the outset but while seemingly necessary curb capacity and greed will now have to be carried a logical end There can be no favored class industry
 All in all the address is ringing, vrile Ameri declaration. German duplicity, sham intrigue de cepton and greed are deftly presented. America . peace conditions concsely stated amounting to return to the status quo ante and autonomy and safety of nations, great and small, in the coming worlds partnership of peoples and rulers There Is no recession from the high ideals and purposes that have constantly marked the attitude of the United States since the beginning of the war but on the other hand, solemn and emphatic reiteration Of Americas purpose to see it through the in the interest of humanity.

 Land Commissioner Andrew Christiansen, who IS devotng his time the agricultural development ol Alaska under the authority of the ElasKa EhslheI I inc Commssion is encouraged believe that the farms will ultimately furnish substantial source for Alaska prosperity but he the settler who comes from the States that opening farm is not llKe put pu. ting blow to the and level land of the western prairies In Alaska, and especially in the lanana Maanuska and Susitna valleys the land is generally covered with thick growth or tmper' anso praSn anu n moss, which must be cleared at the expense o great labor The Alaska hired man also draws from $4 $5 per day and his board and must pc reckoned with in probable expense estimates
 MT. Christensen, however. tells us that Alaskd farmers have never yet had complete failure of crops; there are no droughts, hot winds, grasshop pers or hail storms and they also have the advant age of long days of sunshine, in June and July sixteen to eighteen hours and in the far north the twenty hours day, which accounts or the rapid growth and superior quality or root Veget abes.
 In the Panama valley about hundred farm have located of 32O acres of land each and are opening farms this valley potatoes have been marketed from $S0 to $2O0 ton, and hay brings from $50 to $50 per ton. Tomotoes, cucum bers and caneloupes bring exceedingly high prices Oats barley and rye mature, and frequently wheat The government is developing special wheat for Alaska culture In root vegetables the Alaska lands produce large yields. There is little stock, but reindeer industry is in it's incpiency the herds fattening and increasing the native moss.
 In the Matanuska and Susitna valleys, which lie to the south of the Tanana, there are now about 200 farmers, many of them working on the railroad and in the mines to procure capital to develop their lands and buy farm machinery. Oats, barley, rye and some wheat matured in these valleys the past season, and the root crops were very good, among others about 2000 tons of potatoes being produced The government has reserved an S0O-acre tract near Matanuska, and proposes invest about $10,00O in beginning agricultural experiment work.
 The pioneers the Alaska farms, with the help of the governmentf are trying out the agricultural possibilities of the Territory. They finding out what the farms do and what they cannot do When the homeseekers from the States begin to scatter out the hills they will find the to pioneered for them. Ultimately the fertile valleys should contain large farming population

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
Iieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fR-
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
Ius without inflaming or even Irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. a small
bottle of freezone win cost very little
at any of the drug storesI but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn OF hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it aany wholesaler drug house for you,
