ANCHORAGE PRAISES SULZER

Anchorage TlmeS)
 Prompt work the part of the Fair Committee the Daily Times and Congressional Delegate Charles A. Sulzer likely obtain for Anchorage the benefit In any event. it has proved to the steamship compan ies that they have the right, if they have the in cinaon grant excursion rates during that period
 In previous messages to the Fair committee both steamship companies expressed themselves as willing grant excursion rates for the Fair but said they unable to do on account Of the shipping laws in force.
 cablegram immediately sent to Delegate Suzer asking him if the Federal laws prohibit the granting of excursion rates and explaining to him the hardship which such interpretation would place upon Anchorage.
 From the promptness with which a reply waste time, but started inquiries at with the result that yesterday received from him to the effect that there is law which prohib- it's the steamship companies from granting the de sired rates
 In addition to wiring this ruling to Anchorage, Delegate Sulzer elegraphed the steamship companies at Seattle to the effect, that it is now squarely up to the transportation corporations to whether get the rates From past performances of both companies, which always have evinced de sire to cooperate fully with the people of all the towns of Alaska, there is every to believe that they will gladly accord excursion fares.
 In all the advertising literature which the Fair committee has sent out, it promised reduced rates inducement for visitors to here, and in the event such rates not granted Anchorage will be placed in undesirable position.
 The people of Anchorage grateful to Dele gate Sulzer for the prompt and willing manner in which he attended to the matter in their behalf He demonstrated that he is strictly the job.

Luke McLuke Says

woman never wants a divorce from her husband until she gets so tired of him that she doesn't even set any pleasure out of quarrelng with him.
 Some men take good photographs. But when most of them get their pie lures taken the result is something that looks as though they were drunk and dressed up.
 Some day some inventor is going to prevent a lot of dinner-table fisses in the home by discovering a salt and repper shaker that will keep itself filed.
 ,t doesn't hurt to tell the truth once in a while Most of the self-nsde men forget to give their wives the credit for making them what they are We knew it was coming. We saw a girl on the front seat of motor cycle operating the thing while the fellow hung on to the rear seat.
 Any Mother can tell you each of the children's ages to the year, month, day and hour But Father has a hard time trying to remember the date of his wedding anniversary What has become of the old Fashioned man who used to sit on the porch at night and play the kazoo? And what has become of the oldfashioned ka zoo?
 The trouble with the bore who holds you up for an hour while he brags about his bright kids is that you do not get chance to tell him how much brighter your kids are.
 A man knows that he might have done better by marrying some other woman. But he also knows that his wife couldn't have done better than she did.
 If is wasn't for the Outgo, almost any man could get along nicely with his Income
 It often happens that the man who eats with a knife at home and who licks the blade clean when he switches from meat to pie is the same fellow who gets peeved if the waiter doesn't bring him three knives and three forks when he is eating in a cabaret.
 The other fellow is fooled a great deal oftener than there is any excuse for-and so are you.

KILLING OFF THE CATTLE

report from Copenhagen, which is apparently authentic, declares that the German food authorities have decided upon drastic reduction in the number of cattle to be held the winter Mch and cattle used draft animals in place of horses reported to be all that the farmers advised to hold.
 Manifestly there is little regard for the future in this policy except in the that maximum effort by Germany within the next few months is the only hope for securing any of future accep table to Germany.
 The belief that Germany must have early victory accept eventually defeat would justify this proposed rush of cattle to market, but if Ger many expects to fight for indefinite period such destruction of could be justified except by shortage of fodder which, in turn would clearly point to shortage of farm crops
 The present German offensive in the East, par tcularly against the Russian line in the Riga district and against Rumana, suggest that perhaps Germany expects to add to her argesses from Eastern quarters However, no matter where they expect to gain the losses that ultimately must be paid for the present gain through wholesale slaughter of live stock Ger many has given evidence that the Uboat blockade has not been effective a starvation measure as the Allied blockade of Germany.
