THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

Speaking of offenders against the auto speed limit in town the other day man said that the worst offender so far as he had been able to as certain was no other than one of the council men. Again speaking to an officer yesterday the latter said that he was ready to bring to jus tice any man who exceeded the speed limit or committed any other offense against any and all ordinances but that the trouble was, those who complain do not want to prosecute. They do not care to appear against the offender for fear Of offending some one. and there you are.
 The fact of the matter is that most of Us are prone to find fault with others but We hesi- tate a long time before we even try to subStan- tiate our charges. We go to an officer. neigh bor or a newspaper and kick about this, that and other things. but refuse to go before the proper authority hold up our right hand and swear to the truth of charges. This human trait is al- most without exception
 There is no question in our mind but what auto drivers are delinquent-at times, if we be- Teve half of the complaints made, yet nobody cares to prosecute. We prefer to kick to the of fcers and about the officers: to the newspaper and about the newspaper. Like the anonymous writer said the other day when he took except ion to the assertion that the barbers w-'1 charg- ing too much. We quote: You kick ..i'aut this. that and the other thing, but never word about the high price of coal Evidently you are feed ing out of the Big FourS hands" This Mutt accuses Us of being influenced by the coal deal CTS and wants us to find fault with the price of coal yet he does not sign his name to his accu- sation + an auto driver commits breach of the law let the citizen or citizens witness to 1t. sign his or their narees to a complaint. The rest will be easy. Citizens should; or ought to be as much interested in the protection of their lives and limbs as the officers of the law. For that reason. they should be willing to help secure convictions

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their collins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them.
 If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours and open them that I may be refreshed and cheered while I need them I would rather have plain coffin without flower, funeral without aneulogy. than life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Postmortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way"
 WHY NOT 4 RUMMAGE SALE?
 Patriotism among the residents of Ketchi- kan cannot be questioned. From the declara- tion of war until today, the residents have con- tributed handsomely to the all patriotic move ments But we must not stop now. There Is much more we can do. For instance; let us have a rummage sale and give the proceeds to the Red Cross The soldiers will need more socks, more sweaters and more of this, that and the other things. Let us sell things that we don't use, and thus contribute to the conservation of the coun- try's resources.
 The conservation of resources-the economy about which We hear so much, does not contem- plate the withholding from use of anything that may be of use. Indeed, conservation means using to the utmost that which is usable in a rational way. So you are actually conserving the wealth of the world by disposing of that which is of no use to you. but which may be of of use to some one eles.
 If there is a piece of furniture about the house that is not actually in use give it away. Get rid of it. Clear out the attic; don't allow useless articles to accumulate. Clean out the rubbish.
 The habit or hoarding was formed in the jungle away back when the race was hard press ed. Later on our ancestors found that it was part of wisdom to hang on to everything they could get hold of on the theory that some day it would be of use. So we have chung to the hab- it of hoarding until at this time there are many articles about every home which are absolutely useless and which will never be used by the house. hold. Let us get rld 0f them through rum- mage sale.
 1 place could be secured where the ar ticleS could be displayed and sold at reasonable prices; thus killing three birds with one stone, as it were: in that way many useless articles could be gotten rid of and clean the attic; some one would obtain a useful article at a nominal cost: and finally the Red Cross would secure the means with which to help the soldiers.

EGG SUPPLY INCREASED
BY EMBARGO ON FOODS

The egg supply in the United States
today is Is per cent greater than at
this time last year, due to the en-
barge on exports. A campaign to
use eggs as a substitute for meat,
quantities of which are being per-
mitted to go to the allies, will be
launched by the food administration
within q few days.
w. S. Priebe. Hoover's egg expert,
said today that the wider use of
eggs will not raise prices materially
because of the surplus. He has not
yet heard from the storage egg bar
ons, who were reported to be coming
to the food administration for aid in
keeping up prices, although their
plea that eggs be made an army ra-
tion is understood to be formally De.
fore the War Department.
Priebe said that storage eggs
should be retailing in New York and
Eastern cities for 45 cents a dozen.
and in Chicago and the middle West
for 40, which figures represent a
loss for many egg speculatorc.

Runaway YOUTH,

With weather conditions a perfect
reminder, Roscoe Ails. comedian Of
Fred Irwin's Majestics, playing the
Gayety this week, Is today ceiebrat-

tion to the footIights of the stage.
Under leaden skies. and with a stif
wind from the north blowing through
cold st. Louis Vaudeville house,
the Gayety star bowed to an audience
for the first time.
Today Ails is receiving the good
wishes of his associates in the Irwin
production for another decade of
success behind the footlights. From
a runaway lad of twelve years to the
lead of show after he had been on
the stage less than six months is
Ais accomplishment.

Ails is this year trying his second

DAIRY QHo
CREAMERY
POINTS THAT MARK
GOOD DAIRY ANIMALS
Form of Parts That Indicate
Heavy Milk Production,

Prepared by United states department OF
agricultural
In addition TO the general form which
marks the dairy type, there are indi'
vldual parts Of the COW which indicate
her ability to produce surplus OF
milk. Following Is u description of
the more desirable form Of the parts
denotng heavy production;
Head.-The heads Of the male and fe-
male are much the same, except that
greater size and hcayncss are expect
ed In that Of the former, As whole
the head should have Il clean cut out
line and be free from any coarseness
Of bone, flesh or skin. In the bull
score card more weight Is given this
part than IN the COW score card, which
Is owing to the fact that the general
character of the bull and his masculin-
ity are evidenced in his head a
strong, muscular mu22le and jaws In
dicate ability to handle large quantities
of feed. The form and quality of face,
forehead, eye and horn indicate the
nervous energy and refinement essen
tlal to productive ability.
Neck.-The necks Of the COW and the
bull are radically different That or
the COW should be Of medium length,
slender. free from flesh and loose skin,
1t should be small at the junction with
the head and should join the shoulders
smoothly. The neck Of the bull should
be of medium length, small at the head
and swelling into prominent crest
The crest IN the bull indicates mascu'
Unity and should be both high and
broad.
Fore Quarters, Withcrs,-T withers
should be sharp. the ends of the shout
der blades fitting close to the spinal
processes and ending some distance
below the top Of them. This junction
should he so smooth as to form n
straight line from the lop VI tllc Sli""'
processes down the shoulder blade to
It's junction with the foreleg.
Body, Capacity, Back.-lt is very
important that there be great strength
in this region. as the back supports the
weight Of the abdomen or barrel
Ribs.-Flat ribs are found to be as
ISOLATED with the wedge shaped lean
appearance of the dairy animal as com
pared with the round ribs of the beer
animal.
Barrcl.-The barrel in both the male
and the female should be broad, deep
and full and we'll held up with wen
sprung ribs, \ good sized barrel 1ndl'
Gates large capacity for digesting feed
