NO FUND FOR GREEK TRAILS
 Is ANAlLABI.E F..


 In all probability no work, repair or otherwise, will be done on the creek trails of the Fairbanks dis trict this year. For. according to Territorial Road Commissioner II. H. Ross. there is no money available for such work, and the territorial legislature has made no move as yet toward appropriaung money which can be used on the repaIr of exist ing trails and roads or the ConstruC ton of new ones. The matter Of local roads and trails does not come under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Road Commission, on account of the fact that by an agreement between the commission and NIT. Ross. the latter would spend all of the terri torial funds available for work on the local roads. while the commis sion would attend to all of the roads in other outlying districts of the Fourth division.
 The money which is supposed to come annually from the territory for work on the roads and trails is from the forest reserve fund secured from the Chugach and Tongass for est reserves. IL amounts to approXi mately s2,500 for each division. It was made available by a decision in the courts about two years ago, which decision was fought by the residents of the First division, who contend ed that the forest reserve fund should remain in that division by reason of the fact that the forrest reserves are located there. It was understood that the case was to be apI ealed, but whether or not it has gone to the circuit court Of appeals is not known here.
 If the case has been appealed there Is no chance of the slightest amount being available for summer work, according to Mir. Ross. On the other hand, there is approximate ly $500 still in the territorial trea- sury which belongs to the Fourth division The commissioner feels that this sum is too small to ac complish much work, and states that unless more money Is forthcoming from other sources, he will make no attempt to do any work this year
 The Fourth division also has S2,500 coming from the forest reserve fund for the past year. It is stated, how ever, that even in the event that the forest reserve case has not been appealed this fund could hardly be made available for work this year, although some of the same fund for last year was made available last fall in time for the road com mission to do considerable work on local roads and trails. The $500 re- maining in the treasury is that left over from last year.
 Mir. Ross has lately been trying, by all maLaer of means. 10 get the territorial legislature to make an ap- pr0priation for local road work He has written to several of the rep resentatives and senators from this division relative to the matter, and 1t was only on Saturday that he telegraphed the speaker of the house about it. He has not been appriscd as yet, however. whether or not the legislature has taken action, al though it is stated in news dis patches that the legislators are mak ing an endeavor to take care of the situation.

The Great Experiment.

We are summoned to new energy and zeal by the high nature of the eX pertinent we are appointed in provi. dence to make. and the grandeur of the theater on which it is to be per. formed. At a moment of deep and general agitation in the old world, it has pleased heaven to open this last refuge of humanity. It rests with us to solve the great problem in human society to settle, and that for ever, the momentous GuestiOn-wheth. CT mankind can be trusted with a purely popular system of government One might almost think, without eX- travagancc, that the departed wise and good, of all places and times, are look ing down from their happy seats to witness what shall be done now by us; that they who lavished their treas ures and their blood, of old, who spake and wrote, who labored, fought and perished, in the ore great cause of freedom and truth, are now hanging from their orbs on high, over the last solemn experiment of humanity.-Ed- ward Everett.

horrible results.
 But the people of State in which an army training camp is located should not depend entirely upon the government. Residents of a commun- ity near which the soldiers are en- camped should make it their business to see that the boys in khaki are not exposed to the menace of such con- ditions as prevailed near Canadian Camp No. 9.
 Pine Bluff people are not relieved of the duty of exerting themselves in this respect. Thousands of our boys are now near Little Rock and more thousands will be encamped near that city within few weeks. The Lit tie Rock authorities announced some months ago that the fred light dis trict" had been abolished, but no one familiar with the conditions in the cap- ital city is deluded, Conditions there, insofar as the "secial evil" is con- eerned, are, if anything, worse than before the abolishment of the dis trict," according to reliable informa- tion received here. "Street walkers" and "hotel workers" are thick, accord ing to this information. The most dis quieting report, however, is based on the statements of two Little Rock physicians, who are said to have as serted that practically all of the pros- titutes in the capital city are diseased, and that hundreds of young men have contracted the worst of venereal dis eases.
 So don't hold up your hands in hor- TOT at the Canadian camp situation until you have made up your mind to help protect the men in the Arkan- sas camps from similar danger.

To Overcome Redness.
 Tan, Freckles, Wrinkles

If your skin is unduly reddened, freckled or tanned, dab a little pure mercoiized wax on the face and allow it to remain over night. When you wash off the wax in the morning, fine flaky, almost invisible particles of cu- ticle come with it. Repeating this daily, the entire outer skin is absorbed, but so gradually, there's not the slight est hurt or inconvenience Even the stubbornest freckles arc affected. The underlying skin which forms th> new complexion is so fresh and youthful looking, you'll marvel at the trans foramtion. It's the only thing known to actually discard an aged, faded, muddy or blotchy complexion. One ounce of, mercolized wax, procurable at any drugstore, is sufficient in most cases.
 If sun and wind make you sauint and frown, you're bound to cultivate wrinkles and crows fSat. To over come these quickly. bathe the face in solution made by dissolving an ounce of powder d savolite in 8 half pint witch hazel.-Adv, :

Erect Lanterns for Drowned.

Suspended from tall poles that are to be found on the banks of rivers in China are quaint lanterns that sway back and forth in the wind. adding a picturesque touch to the landscape by day and weird illumination by night. Each of these lanterns has been placed by relatives of some person who has been drowned in the nearby stream, iA the hope that the spirit of the de- ceased may see the light as it journeys in search of heaven. Many are too poor to erect these supports and sc, by paying suitable sum, are permit ted to utilize other peoples poles.- Popular Mechanics Magazine.

FARMERS OPPOSE FOOD BILL

One reason why the presidents food bill is not having fast sailing in con gress is evidenced from a number of letters from farmers being circulated by Senator Gore of Oklahoma. The letters indicate that the agricultural interests are solid again& the in fringement of the law of supply and demand; or, in other words, of the good prices obtainable by farmers for foodstuffs.
 Right or wrong, this attitude by the agricultural sections is having it's eff feet upon congress. You will rarely find a congressman from an agricul- tural district willing to risk defeat the "next time he runs" by opposing the popular demand of his farmer con stituents. And no congressman Is ln- clined to underestimate the power of the rural vote.
 Herbert Hoover has given good ar guments why the food bill should be- come law, comforting upon the presi- dent virtually dictatorial powers to regulate prices. But as long as the farmer doesn't see it that way, despite war and the crisis of national exist ence. there is going to be trouble in passing such bill.
 Half the time city folk don't know whether their congressman is really representing their best interests; but country folk are built differently They eternally insist that their con gressman stand up for their interests and that's why it is so often done.

HORRIBLE WAR CONDITIONS.

Some days ago the Chicago Tribune which modestly admits it is the worlds greatest newspaper'-shock- ed many of it's readers and millions of other readers of papers that re- printed the article, by publishing an editorial to the effect that there should not be many oppressive meas ures against our Sammies; that they arc men and know how to take care of themselves. Sammies, the ed itorial alleged, do not require restraint as regards drink and entertainment, with all that this implies.
 If our Sammies were built by nature differently than the soldiers of other nations, perhaps the Tribune would be right. But they are human and re- quire human restraints or there will be horrible moral disaster.
 Camp No. 9 in England is populat- ed by Canadian troops. Canada is more or less of "puritanicaP domin- ion and it's young men are admittedly clean and pure. But when the young Canadians took to soldering, the gov crnment did away with drink and pros titution at home, but near Camp No. 9 everything was wide open.
 In that camp are 4,000 soldiers who are dying, rotting, of incurable ven- / ereal diseases. They are under guard, behind barbed wires. Their mothers sent them forth to fight, but they met a foe incomparably worse than the kaiser's legions-and were defeated.
 They have never seen>a battle line. They have been destroyed by unbrl- died booze and prostitution, are drag on their government, and menace to the home folks if perchance some ot them live long enough to return to their native shores.
 Remember, this only refers to one camp. Conditions are quite similar in other camps. The moloch of ven ereal disease has destroyed some oi them even before they leave the coun- trv. as in Canadian hospitals 1,20( vo,,ng Canadians are incurable vic films and are. in such condition that they are not even permitted to see their relatives.
 Canadian mothers have organized to protest against permitting such evils. They prefer to have their sons killedsin battle than killed in this man, verF And they blame the government for not putting up proper safeguards

ing its best. Most soaps and pre-.
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy

Out Of just such suspicion and
harshness as you show in your letter

imagine that if your daughter happens
to go to a perfectly respectable party
and to be kept out a little late, she
will go home with her girl friends
rather than return to face the sus-
