 "A scheme is being agitated here for tue establishment this summer Of a municipal farm for the purpose of raising vegetables and root crops fer the use of the people of the town. l. is pointed out that under the present uncertainty as regards shipping, and the possibility that seV eral of the steamers on this run ma be taken over by the government for service on the Atlantic coast, it is going to be increasingly diff cult to obtain foodstuffs from the States, and that some steps must be taken 10 faake the local production as large as possible if shortage is to be avoided. There are a num- Der Of good locations at no great distance from the town that could be cultivated at little cost and would produce enough to supply a greater part of the needs of the town. The plans have not been con pletaly worked out as yet, but will be completed within a day or two. It Is believed that practically ey- erybody in town will be willing to come iu on the project and that it can he made 9 complete success"

ALASKAN TOUR
 IS POSTPONED

Owing to the serious national sit nation, which is said to make it imp, ssible to secure a delegation of congressman and influential bus mess men for an Alaskan tour this summer, the Seattle chamber of commerce has postponed the trip it hld planned to make to Alaska in July, according to a cable massage received today by the Skagway Con- merciql club. The message, sent bv J. L. McPherson, manager of .se Alaska bureau of the Seattle organization, follows:
 Serious national situation makes it impossible to secure con gressional delegation and tnfluen- tial business for Alaska tour this summer. We believe it wise to post pone tour until influential partic- iUants can be secured. Regret ex- eeedingly necessity for this post pouement and desire to express eur appreciation of your generous CO., oDeraticD."

Author Of Pushing to the Front" Etc.
Does the World Owe You a Living !?

In America we call the human para
site ''loafer." Josh Billings. in his
homely vernacular, gives a good de-
scription of this creature:
THE loafer," he says, liz human
being who occupies all grades in
society, from the Judge on the bench
klean down to the ragged thing in
britches who leans against a lamp
post and fites fys in August.
He haz hiz big circle ov friends,
WHARF hiz koarse jests are re-echoed,
and WHARF to be in hiz konfdence IL
konsidered an honor.
"He liz not alwus destitute ov kom-
mon sense, and quite often IL the
author ov jests which pass upon the
unwary for humor and even wit.
He haz no pride that is worthy,
and haz no delikasy that emmy boldly
kan hurt.
During hiz boyhood he kills kats
and sells their hides to the hatters,
and robs all the hens nests and arly
apple trees in the naborhood.
During his middle age he begs all
the tobacco he uses, and drinks all
the cheap whiskey he kan at sum-
boddys else's expense.
During liz old age he winters in
the aims houses, and summers in the
sugar hogsheads, and, when he comes
tew die, ne IL buried in a dich, like
an omnibus hoss, with his old
shoes on.
This IL a trew ackount ov the
life and adventures oy the ordinary
loafer. and yet there are thousands
ov human kritters coming onto. the
platform ov life every six months
whoze only ambishun IL TO be sue
cessful loafers. ..s
THE loafer kares nothing for pub
