PREACH THE GOSPEL OF
PLANTING, SAYS STEWART.

Charleston, w. Va. April 14.-Com-
missioner of Agriculture James H.
Stewart, reciting that the supply of
food is less in America than at any
time since the Civil war, has enlisted
the aid Of the teachers and preachers
of West Virginia in a movement to
have bumper crops in the state during
the coming agricultural season. Writ
ing to all preachers, he declares that
1t is obligatory that the people of West
Virginia. like Joseph of old, should lay
up stores for the lean years to come In
his letter to the teachers, which is en-
dorsed by State Superintendent of
Schools NJ. p. Shawkey, the commits
sioner asks them to enlist the aid of
the school children OF the state In the
movement to stimulate every family to
produce an abundant store of edibles-
His injunction to every minister and
preacher IN West Virginia is to preach
and teach the gospel of larger pro-
duction to offset the food shortage"

Baden, N. c.
Such was the substance of a tele-
gram from U. S. Marshal Smith, from
Clarksburg. No details were given in
the message. The only thing known is
that the notorious train robber was re-
captured in the same state in which he
made his sensational getaway on April
4, so that he could not have gotten so
very far from the scene of that bold
escape, which was the town of Char
lotte.
Webb seized an unguarded moment
when the handouts that had bound
him 20 his fellow prisoner, Eugene Diez,
were off, and made his escape through
a car window.

WITH A sPRIe OF SHAMROCK

There's a little bit of Ireland
IN your roguish eyes of blue.
There's fist full of her sunshine
In the FURNISHED locks of you.
The lakes that dimple all the land
OF that unhappy isle
Are but mirrors sending heaven
Reflections of your smile.
Your voice so velvet lazy
Brings memories back TO me
OF the silver bells of Shandon
Across the river Lee.
There's a beaker full Of blarney
That sparkles ON your lips;
Sure it could not be mortal sin
Such nectar rare to sipl
The torches in your flaming cheeks
Their scarlet banners sway;
Across the moors their signals light
The fairies on their way.
BY all the meads of Mallow,
From Limerick to the sea,
From every greening, winding path
The shamrock calls to me.
Dear emblem of my mothers land,
The sorrows you have seen
Make crimson all of Erin's shores
When they should laugh with green.
But l will count one happy day
A little more than blest,
Because this sprig of shamrock
Lived to die upon your breast

KEEP US POSTED.

 One Of the constant end,aYors Of the management of The Citizen has been 10 try to get the paper to sub -cr.bars promptly To do so every rnor. is made. .or We realize tna, our subscribers pay for paper ta order that they may get the news of ,hc day and got it as quickly as possible.
 We believe that some of our sub scrber, have not been reporting to this office the occasions when they do not receive their paper, as they nave been requested to do, for the reason that they thought it was the laul, os the mails and not the fault of the office because they did not gel the paper. We have, however, received a few complaints, and. be cause of them. have tried to trace the reason why papers do not get to 0ut-oftown subscribers promptly. We find that papers leave the local postollce promptly on time, as they are supposed to do, therefore our only conclusion is that those through whose hands the papers pass en, route to the subscribers are care less with their duties.
 But regardless of the fact that We have so far been unable to discover the cause of the trouble. We intend to keep trying. Therefore, to the end that our subscribers may get the news they are paying for, We request each and every one to notify us promptly Of their failure to re- ceiye the paper, on the first mail 10 reach them immediately after the day of publication. which is Monday, counting the time il takes for that mail 10 reach them from Fairbanks For We intend to lnaugurate thor ough investigation in an attempt to discover why conditions are such that papers cannot be delivered when they are supposed to be.

ALASKA BREAKS RECORD.

The valuation of Alaska's com merce for the year just ended will exceed s110,O00,O0O. thus breaking the record for any previous twelve months period. either calendar or fiscal, in the history of the terri tory. Of this total the port of Seat tie is credited with $6O,000000, the port of Tacoma S40,000,00O. and all other ports of the Pacific coast sl0,- 100000. It is a splendid showing for the northern territory and sounds a cheerful note of optimism for the future. The year 1917 will not show any slackening, even in the face of a reduced selling price for copper, which is subject to fluctuation. The balance of trade is largely in favor of the territory, while the north bound shipments clearly indicate a growing and more permanent popu- latiOn in the north.-E Exchange.

THE PLATED SKIRT.

Plaited skirts often give trouble with the back closing To keep it from parting, do not open it in the center back seam if you have an inverted or box plait, but have the skirt ready for the band, all seams stitched, and pin the plaits in care fully. Then slash down on the right inside the crease of the center plait. This makes a closing that will not part, and needs about half the num- Der Of hooks and eyes. Allow the band long enough to reach across to the slashed side. Plaits that swing out of place can be stitched to position at the extreme edge on the under side. This Is good method for all cotton and other washable skirts.

ALASKA WAS A CHEAP BUY.

The price the United States paid for the Danish West India islands amounts to about $275 an acre-or $176,000 a square mile. War prices truly, and seemingly quite high at that, particularly so when we com pare it with the two cents an acre Or S1250 square mile, that Alaska cost. There is further contrast in he cost of the Danish islands and hat of Alaska when we consider hat the United States only secures
 sovereignty over the former, title to most of the real property having long ago passed into private hands, and the United States recognizes the private property rights. On the other hand, the United States actually pur chased about all that there was of Alaska, including the ownership Of her soil and other resources.
 However, while, as said, the price is high, the United States could not afford to permit the islands to fall into other hands than her own, and she, therefore. was almost compelled

BETTER BUSlNE SS.

Better days are coming for the interior. At least, that is to be inferred from the telegram of Traffic Manager Zipf. of the American-Yukon Navigation company to the local head quarters of the transportation con cern. The telegram asserts that five big Yukon river packets will be in operation on the lower Yukon river this year and that six boats will be on the run between Dawson and Panama river points.
 Any transportation concern in any locality makes it it's business to look to the future. It is therefore very probable that the officials of the American-Yukon Navigation Go. investigated thoroughly the prospects for business during the coming sum- pany will, at a greatly increased eX- pense, put at least four more boats in operation on the waters of the interior.
 This means that the company ex- poets better business this year. In fact, the telegram from Traffic Mana ger Zipf states that the tonnage dur ing the coming season of navigation will be larger than it ever was be- fore. This probably is due to the enormous shipments of freight which will be made from the Outside by the Alaskan Engineering Com mission, but it also proves be- yond a doubt that just as much freight will be shipped by the mer- chants of the interior as in any other season, If not more. At least, the company appears to be depend ing on such shipments and is. at the same time, making arrangements to handle the freight of the En- gineering commission without i'm pairing the regular freight service from the Outside to Fairbanks.

8 shor, time ago relative 10 the throwing out. by the canyassing board. of the vote from the Vault creek precinct in this division. and it Is therefore very ey.den; that the precinct was not thrown out The report was to the effect that the re. turns had not been certified 10 prop erly by the election officers. The rearns showed eight votes for Wick. crsham and two for Sulzer.
 When this report arrived here Henry T Ray. manager of the local W.ckersham forces. got busy He could not see how the precinct of Vault could be thrown out. so de cidcd to make an examination.

 10 the canyassing board. receiving in reply telegram from Governor Strong ending with the words: Don't believe everything you see in the newspapers"
 Now Governor Strong Is himself n old newspaper man. Therefore ii would be unreasonable to think that he meant all newspapers when mak
 ng the statement Consequently the only inference is that he means the News Miner and it's unsatisfactory and lndependable reports.- But that is another story.
 ! The fact of the matter is that | the canyassing board is as yet un- i able to see the light in the matter of the delegate election. The mem 1 Oers of the board have undoubtedly counted and recounted ballots until they are heartily sick of their job. and are not able to announce who has won the election. at that Nor IS it probable that they will be able to do so until all of the election re turns are in their hands, together with the necessary evidence that regular elections were held in all of the precincts from which the vote l has been returned.
 The delegate election is still just as much in doubt as ever.

PARKS ON WAY
 TO WASHINGTON

George A. Parks, the well known land office man, is now on his way to Washington, D. C., where he will spend some time before he returns to Alaska. In a recent mail from the Outside Wallace Cathcart re ceived a card from him which was mailed in Omaha, stating that he would soon be in Washington,
 MT. Parks left Juneau about the first of the year for visit to his home in Colorado, and expected to take a sixty-day vacation. He will probably arrive in Fairbanks about April 1 to resume his duties in con- nection with the land office here.
