Solution of the big trestle, loop the loop, and fourteen degree curvature of the old Alaska Northern line north of Mile 45, which has been the chief hobby of opponents of the Matanuska- Seward route as the outlet to the coal fields may be found in wye, which will reduce the grade and at the same time eliminate much of the trestles and curvature.
 Plans for such construction are said to be under consideration.
 That this solution is sufficient to off- set every objection to routing the coal through Seward was indicated in re-

GRO0MS
MUST SHOW DRAFT
CARDS IN GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Aug. IAN order that
applicants for marriage licenses here
today be required to show their mill
tary registration cards was expected
to put an end to the rush of men of
consumption age to marry to escape
service in the national army.
With the rush for licenses yester-
day when many openly admitted they
were being married to escape the mill
tary draft and but few of the 527 men
granted licenses were not of military
age, the bureau today was trying to
catch up in its routine work.
An examination Of the first seventy
licenses showed that only one man
was above the draft age. Only six
were born In the United States aud
of these two had foreign born parents
on one or both sides. Thirty-seven
were Russian born; II were natives OF
Austria or Hungary; four Italians, four
Roumanians and the rest scattering.
Under the ruling of Thomas F. Nc
Carthy, United States marshal, every
male applicant today will be required
to show his registration card when
applying for license, and it was said,
there might be one or two deputies
from the marshals office present to

Gambling, as rule is not listed as
one of the accomplishments Of most
farmers and yet when farmers yield to
the temptation offered by some un-
scrupulous scotsman, they are stalking
their harvest against failure which is
a hundred to one shot, in favor Of fail

Campaign
odd varieties of wheat are being of.
fered TO farmers under new names and
many extravagant claims are being
rlade for these fake wheats This
game is so old that it is really surpris-
ing that any farmer would think of
tuying unestablished varieties Of
wheat from some slick-tongued sales
e Of seed to the acre is enough and
that the wheat would yield more than
those varieties ordinarily grown"
Fakes Sold Recently.
1t was only two and three years ago
when variety known as Miracle and
Marvellous was widely sold to Indiana
and Ohio farmers. 1t was sold under
the guarantee that one peck was suf-
ticient for an acre and that 1t possess
ed unusual yielding ability. These va
rieties are still grown by many far
ilers, but the practice of sowing from
{. peck to a half bushel has entirely
disappeared.
These wheats have been tested in
various parts of the country by eX-
pertinent stations and in no case have
they yielded better, than the standard
'arieties OF the states in which they
we're tested. 1t is claimed for these
Mheats, that they have especial tiller-
ing habits which makes it unnecessary

1t is especially interesting-in view of the
present wide popularity of Louis XVI furni
ture--to know that designs of this type were
highly priced in France during the period
177I-1793. Before the youthful Louis XVI
and his still more youthful queen had as
cended the French throne, furniture of this
character, which later lent much inspira-
ton to the English master, Thomas Shera-
ton as well as to his American prototype,
Duncan Phyfe, had come into vogue. In
Louis XVI Designs there is a noticeable
change from the extravaganza of the earlier
French periods and rectilinear lines are fire.
quent though curvilinear grace is still
tanned. The legs of tables and chairs US
uaily are straight and tai stretchers,
often used and in many cases the
fronts and tops of tables and cabinets were
gracefully shaped. In Louis XVI decora-
tons floral wreaths and ribbons. baskets
and rosettes constantly recur, and fluting,
in legs and uprights, was much in vogue.

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT.

ABOUT.
Believe men good until you
have found them bad; your
hope in your brother is the re-
suit of your faith in your
father.
Always doing and never smil-
ms leaves room for some double.
Selfshness makes men serious,
smile and cheer your brother.
Shifting blame to others for
your own bad habits is most
unkind; if you want praise for
the perfect, YOU must take the
blame for the bad.
