SNOW REPORTS ON ALASKA

Syracuse, N. Y, JournaD
 That Alaska is over rated is the opinion of Charles w. Snow, who has returned from trip of several weeks to the norhernmost possession of the United States government But Mr. Snow modified not having fair show account of the war stua- tion. It is dull that not going there for work they make larger in the States and prospectors few and far between.
 MT. Snow in company with A. E. McChesney Of this city left early in June for the Northern erip Inlet and which MT Snow says is new town. It is having great boom account of the new rail road prospects which line has just been commenced. MT. Snow met real estate man who, two years ago, sold lot for s15o and he will not duplicate the property for less than $6000 at the present time, which illustrates the real estate boom that is going
 The main thing that is retarding the growth of ing to Mir Snow There practically large forests in that country and all lumber must be shipped in from the States British Columbia or Canada. The rates average $100 ton lumber and that is rather high for much building, Mr. Snow stated
 The greatest commercial enterprise along the coast is the canning of fish, but the canneries the Chinese who it is said get about net average of $4 day At the end of the season they go back of Alaska, MT Snow says. has much better repua- tion residence country but the Syracuse peoples trip was confined to Southeastern Alaska and it's western coast The prospecting and "get rich quick people are no longer Hooking to the interior. The largest gold mine in the world located Juneau cayed Tn last April and is filled up by the Pa cific Ocean It would cost millions of dollars to pump it out which would be like dipping out the ocean.

Luke McLuke Says

It is easier to criticize a job than it is to do it. That is the reason why there is so much criticism.
 This would be a cheerier world ii every girl had pretty teeth. because when a girl has pretty teeth she smiles all the time.
 A girl may not believe it, but it wouldn't be any fun to be married to a model husband If she had earth ly angel for a husband, life would be so monotonous that she would hunt up human being for an affinity.
 There was a time when mush was something that was considered good to eat. But nowadays the magazines seem to imagine that mush is some thing that is good to read.
 The old-fashioned fool who used to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel now has a son who goes over embankments in his roadster.
 The lover of the outdoors who wears a sportsman's outfit and carries rod or a gun wouldn't be so strong for the outdoors if he had to wear overalls and carry a hoe.
 The only good feature about not car rying any life insurance is that your wife won't let you go down stairs and investigate when she thinks she hears a burglar in the house.
 A man will exaggerate his salary to everybody in town but his own wife.
 Any five-foot five husband who hits the scales at 130-lb. and who a six foot wife who weighs 200 pounds can tell you that nobody but a Brute would strike a woman.
 A young wife is always searching the newspapers and magazines for new re- cipes for mysterious pudding to try out on her husband.
 If a man buys a Navajo blanket tie for himself he will wear it cheerfully and brag about his good taste. But if his wife buys him a plain black tie ho won't wear it because it is too loud.
 We would hate to be an undertaken and have to look sad when business is good

TIPS FROM TEXAS
(Dallas News.)

Dallas News.)
 Some women are so anxious to show they have good taste that they knock their own children.
 While we are making the world safe for democracy, let's not forget to make democracy safe for the world. These days the only kind of man who can hide behind a woman's skirts is be- low the minimum height anyhow.
 Our idea of a punk patriot is a man who gives $5 to the Red Cross and brags about it while he is eating a. six dollar dinner. Our observation has been that the man who can tell you exactly when the war Is going to end usually has a wife who wishes he would go over and help end it.

ITALIAN WOMAN A WORKER
Wives and Daughters Of Peasants Play
Large Part In the Food Produe-
tion Of the Country.

The italian woman who bears her
part in the food production of the
country Is not a novelty. Wedding,
sowing, haymaking, hoeing, harvesting,
milking, growing and marketing vege-
tables, vintaging, and sometimes, espe-
cially in the South, even digging are
her tasks. The girl helps her mother
In looking after her smaller brothers
and sisters and when entering her
teens begins either to work on the
farm or to go to work by day on an
other.
But though many italian women are
given up to agriculture. they are not
as serfs attached to the land; far from

small holdings system, and Of the way
In which marriage is looked upon in
Italy, where the wife is, first and
foremost her husbands real helper,
besides his comforter and adviser. She
shares his work with him; she gives
her spare time to farm work, IL she Is

of occupation. Even If well Off, "she

Must Work to Succeed.

The man who can succeed by work
ing few hours Is to be congratulated,
but not initiated. The best-and for
most of us the Only-recipe for sue
cess is hard work.
Thomas A. Edison, though seventy
years old, world famous. and rich as
the world counts wealth, today works
harder and longer than any other read
er of this magazine, says Electrical
Merchandising. One of the "old mans"
time cards which he actually punched
showed that he was on the job little
matter of 90 bours and 45 minutes dur

who will work like that will succeed
not in the same manner as Edison, but
to the same degree. Try 1t.

Gunboat in His Garden.

South Manchuria is one of the com-
paratively few places in the world
where you can profitably dig up war
ships in your garden. A small Rus
sian gunboat was chased up the River
Lao during the war with Japan to Il
point near Hsiaope.ho, about thirty
miles north Of Tienchunagtai. where
she was blown up and sunk to avoid
capture.
A few years ago the river bed at this
point silted up, leaving an exposed mud
bank which was put under bean cul-
tivation by Chinese farmer. Recent
ly there returned to neighboring vii
lage cOolie who remembered having
seen the gunboat sink exactly where
the bean crop is being raised today.

view to salvage. He has an offer of
