But Bert was equally firm in his

with Stanford University as the goal.
There young Hoover attained his de-
gree by working his way through
college
AS an engineer his success Is well
remembered by Westerners in Ari

solving intricate mining problems

 Legislative bodies throughout the world are con siderng ways and of increasing the agricultural production and of utilizing farm products which now go to waste. The high cost of living and scarcity of food is the incentive.
 Yukon always has to contend with living costs as high as. if not higher than those today prevailing in the war zone or anywhere else. It not only will be good business for Yukon consider the ways and means of increasing its agricultural output for this year but for every year But there is added reason why in this time of national and worldwide stress ald scarcity of food the Yukon should do it's utmost to grow what it at home.

The soil offers one Of the two most potent remedies for the situation-a remedy that must be applied in the Spring. The other potent remedy is conservation of food through systematic efforts reduce and practice omy. Therefore. let not suppress the disposition to think of the soil and let be not wasteful or extravagant

 An advantage of living in the United States is that if things turn out badly for you, you can always blame 1t on the Administration.
 A man hasn't so much sense as woman. When Company calls at the house he doesn't spend all of his time apologizing for the looks of the place.
 Fathers are not respected like they used to be ir the old days when son belonged to a political party because his Father did. These days you can find a Demo- cratic son bawling the stuNlnG out of his fat-headed Republican daddy. And vice versa

STRENGTH OF THE BANKS

 Financial experts estimate that the banks of the country at present are able to withstand financial strain of eight times the involved in the panic of 1907 Officials of the government believe that this is correct appraisal of the present strength of the Federal reserve system. The finances of the nation never before rested firm foundation.
 At present time there is deposit with Federal reserve agents in various districts approx mately $3OOOOOOOO in cash, while the enormous re- of S6O0.OO0,OO0 is available at Washington for use wherever it may be needed
 While there are some politicians who would be sat Sfied with financial system falling short Of ac- tual distribution of wealth to all the people sensible persons realize that the system has completely vndcated itself not merely by decen. traizng money control but by making possible mob izatiOn of the nations finances at any given mo. ment.
 The country lacks adequate land detenses and still iS as strong it ought to be on the seas. More oyer, it will take time to perfect the industrial mobilization which is in progress The reserve strength of the nation, however is clearly shown by the bank reserves.

One of the latest bits of news out of Germany tells of German physicians discussion of war diet for obesity. That surely a brave at. tempt to make the best of a bad matter but there is even less optimism in the speech of the PruSsian food dictator Dr. George NHchaelis as reported via London in the KOelnsche Zeitung. He seemed to hold that the effects Of the food shortage were undermn- ing German determnation. and even went far as to speak of starvation.
 Possibly the speech purposely alarming and made to stir up more vigorous enforcement of regu- latons for conserving the food supply Statesmen are not above such devices. but the speech wholly sincere. then the generally accepted view that Ger. many cannot be starved needs revision.
