National Guard Organization.

Last Friday evening a company of
young men interested in organizing a
company of Acknowledgements met in the
C. S. P. S. hall. The room was we'll
filled and the enthusiasm manifested
showed that the spirit Of patriotism
is very much alive in Scotland. Mi.
E. v. Wilcox explained the process of
organization, and its purpose after
which they were lined up on the floor
and the application blanks were
passed along for signatures. About
rs enrolled that night and others
from out of town who were unable
to be present sent word that they
would sign later. After the sigma
lures were procured light refresh
ments were served, provided by some
Of the organizers. The following day
the list of signatures a swelled to
ninety.
The organizers Of the Scotland
company of national guards got eight
enlistments from Olivet and six from
Trip, making 1O4, four more than
the required number. E. v. Wilcox
and Staff Doaley went to Redfield
yesterday to. consult the Adjutant
General in regard 70 ~perfecting the
organization. They returned on the
early train this morning. The Ad-
jutant General is now in Washington,
but they were assured by the assistant
in charge that the General would be
in Scotland in about q week to in
spect the company and matters would
be definitely settled at that time.

MAKES GOOD Foop
Declared to Be Not Only the Moot
Nutritious but the Very
Cheapest.

1.-THE housewife only knew it, salmon
Is the cheapest and at the same time
most nutritious food that can be eat
en-, This is the assertion of James
4. Barron of Portland, Ore, a CORE
Espondent of the Washington Post
states. According to Mr.. Barron, sal
mon contains more nutriment than
beef, or quite as much at any rate,
and 1t is far cheaper.
salmon Is one OF the few articles
Of food that is better when canned
than when eaten fresh. Canned, the
salmon retains all the oil, whereas If
cooked fresh much of the oil is wasted.
The cheapness of salmon makes it
a desirable food when one Is trying to
solve the high cost of living problem.
Red salmon is higher In price than
the pink salmon, butsin fact the latter
is better.
teThe Importance of the Alaskan Ash
cries is demonstrated by the increasing
output Of the c~anperies. There are
something like 100 packers in Alaska,
and the pack has increased since 1907
from 2,171,7H cases to 4,916,63O,
which is the estimated pack Of salmon
for the year 1915. Compared with, the
Puget Sound puck, which in 1916 was
estimated to be 71O,31s, Alaska looms
up large, and this comparison shows
she great development Of the Alaskan
fisheries. 1t is only q question OF time
when the Alaskan fisheries viii ex-
coed inAvalue all other products OF the
territory. This may appear remark
able to the mind OF the average East;
erner, whose Imagination regarding
Alaska IS that only gold Is produced
there. The fact is that Alaska is
wonderful country. It Is cold there at
times, but I have seen it colder right
herein Washington on occasion at any
rate, It appeared to me colder.
The approximate value Of the Alaska
pack for last year has been estimated
TO be $23.808.890, while chat OF Puget
] Sound II estimated at $3.675t61"

Christ Schmittgall returned a week
ago from his trip to Idaho where he
spent three months with his mother
and brothers. He does not seem in
clined to want any Idaho land. While
they raise fairly good crops there are
too many stones to clear off the land
in his estimation. He thought Adolph
w inter was in the best part of the
country in which to farm, but it takes
about So, 600 to get a well as the
drilling must be thru hard rock for
three hundred feet. They raise good
wheat with very little rain and the

A Capital Reply.

At a school recently an inspector WIS.,
tied to see how the pupils were going
on. This inspector, proud, but not
by any means overly well educated fell
low, wishing to make himself conspic-
uous, said he would like to put few
questions to the boys. Looking at the
lad who appeared to be the least intel
ligent in the class, he said:
"Now, boy, can you tell me what's
the capital of Holland?"
"Please, sir, H." was the prompt
reply.
