 ginning at Seven
 O'Clock. IS GREAT OPPORTUNITY Those Who Desire to Im- prove Their Conditions
 May Do so at Cost.
IS GREAT OPPORTUNITY

The first regular session of the Juneau Night School will be held in the Public school auditorium this evening at o'clock. Preceding the assembling of classes in the various rooms, there will be a short pro- gram consisting of several musical numbers and brief talks by several prominent citizens who are interest ed in Night School work. The gen eral public is invited to attend re- gardless of the fact that there may be no intention of enrolling in the courses. The support Of all good Juneau citizens is urged in this most worthy form of education which since the entrance of the United States in the war has become of far greater importance than ever before. Our country is calling daily
 1T men and women who are effic- tent in stenographic work, for edu- cated men and women for various necessary industrial pursuits, and is urging upon every person of foreign birth the advantages of gaining ad-
 
 fledged citizens The~ aim of the Juneau Night School is to provide the opportunity for all persons over sixteen years of age to secure ex- pert instruction in such subjects as may be demanded and at the present time arrangements have been made to offer complete courses as fol- lows: Shorthand, typewriting, ele- mentary work for foreigners which will be known as the citizenship class, and two of the most important of the modern languages, Spanish and Russian. It is also planned to offer French, book keeping, advanced mathematics, mechanical drafting, and shop work in wood, providing sufficient number express their desire for such work. It is urged that every person interested in any subject which might be popular, at tend the meeting tonight and ex- press their desire for such.
 Arrangements were made today to offer instruction in the Russian language and large attendance in this class is anticipated. Rev. Fath- CT Kashevaroff who needs no intro duction to Juneau people will have charge of thS class
 It is the desire of those in charge of the Night School to offer the various courses at the least possible cost to students. The Citizenship work will be free of charge except for small admission fee. The stenographic work will be offered for approximately S250 per month for two hours work and $2.OO for one hour. Spanish will be offered for approximately $200 per month for one hours work and the tuition for the Russian will depend upon the size of the class. The Juneau Night School is not a money-making proposition and the Board of Educa- ton has kindly offered the use of the beautiful new building free of charge. All charges made of stu dents will be used to defray the ac- tual running expenses of the school It is further planned to organize the night school in such a manner as to make possible various lecture courses and entertainments for tho benefit of the students and all Ju- .neau citizens

SECRET OF MANDAN CORN WON FROM
 INDIAN TO SAVE US
Indian Gives Out Secret For Sue cessfully Raising in Cold
 Country.

Corn, once king of American cere- als, is about to climb back on his throne, according to statement by the American Museum of Natural His tory. At time when there is a ser ious shortage of wheat, discovery just announced by the agricultural ex- perts of the museum will, it is said, undoubtedly be received with keen in- terest by many American farmers.
 In front of the museum building, where once grew tulips today corn is sprouting. It is the Mandan maize, the secrets of the cultivation of which were kept for many years by the Man dan Indians. An associate of the de- partment of anthropology of the Am erican museum gained the confidence of Mandan chieftains and obtained from them the rules of the cultivation of this variety of corn, which grows successfully in cold dry climates.
 This maize is now being planted all over the northwest. The kernels are of remarkable shades of red, black, and blue. The farmers in Montana and other mountain states will now be able to raise corn which will de- velop in the proper season. It is said this discovery will greatly increase the volume of corn production for the United States.
 The corn of the Indians more than once saved the early settlers of this country from starvation, and in this national crisis of food scarcity, it may once again become our main depend ence as a food, according to the mu- scum experts.
