DOG PUPS AND WOLF FRIENDLY.

There have been many Instances oi domestic animals, although of differ. ent families, making up with eact other. For instance, it is no uncom- mon thing to see the pet dog and the family cat, If both exist in one faml. ly, lying side by side before thc lire each apparently obiivious of the others presence.
 But instances are rare where do- nestle animals and wild animals vii make ID to each other and become friends. They may be made to toler- ate each other. as is the case in some of the wolf and dog teams of Alaska, but 1t is very rarely that they get friendly, says a Cordova paper.
 There is wolf tied up back of the Nordale hotel. She belongs to Dem- ing Wheeler, who is making an effort to secure an all Alaska wolf-dog team by crossing the animals, and is one ol ocNciul WoNcS HoW oWHSu oy MI. Wheeler.
 And in the same vicinity Tom Keel is raising family of Airedale pups. They are very playful. At first they and their mother resented the wolf being tled near them. And the old lady dog still resents it. But her pups may now be seen playing with the wolf at most any time of the day.
 Watched from the street playing with the puppies, the wolf is appar- ently the same as dog. But when n human being approaches her, her tail falls and its friendly wagging stops For she again assumes the habits of her wild state in her dis trust of the human.
 Whether or not the wolf can be tanned remains to be seen. She is still young, and it may be that she will some day overcome her wild habits Certain 1t is that captivity improves, to a certain extent, the do- of wolf for short time ,go one which had escaped from a corral a few miles below Cinema was caught for no other reason than that 1t insisted on hanging around road house.

SERB HUSBANDS.

"The constant decrease of the birth rate throughout France is causing much pessimism," says the editor of a Zurich paper.
 "Official statistics prove that on account of the heavy war =iossea and the snoA number of births the popu- lation of France has decreased more than million and a half in the last year. All newspapers are alarmed over this state of affairs. The Gau- lois openly declares that the nation lis doomed if nothing is done to stop the depopulation of the country.
 ] "In a rather sensational editorial the Gaulois says: As long as we do not have Frenchmen enough we must endeavor to attract Slavs and Latins to our country. These nationalities will easily mix with our race and can be assimilated m comparatively short time. We now. have thousands of Serbian and Belgian fugitives within our borders and should keep them. Almost all of the Serbians arc farmers and would gladly remain in France if they were given a chance to acquire homesteads in our fertile valleys and plains.

friend who had travelled much once remarked to the writer that in the states possessing a large percentage of foreign born farme.s it was quite pos sible to tell the American felm from that of the alien by merely observing the quantity of produce growing on a given area. He further dec 'ared that the foreign born farmer produced ap proximately one seventh more than the average American farmer from the same area of land.
 In addition to the large amount of unproductive land on the farms of the nation there are also many mill lions of acres of land going to waste which are susceptible to irrigation and every one of which would produce in marvellous abundance as soon as they are irrigated. In the state of California alone it Is estimated that there are approximately fifteen mill
 Hon acres of rich arabic land going
 to waste-this with the major portion of the earth's inhabitants fighting for food The reclamation of this land for agricultural purposes is. of course, largely a matter for government con- sideration as construction of exten- size irrigation systems is quite beyond the possibilities of the farmer.
 Neither can the capitalist be de- pended upon to take advantage of the possibilities in this line, so the matter of placing land of this character un- CT cultivation is essentially one for the government to handle. And now. with a large part of the world looking to us for bread and the people of our own land living in terror of a fancied day when the gaunt spector of star vation may stalk among us, 1t would appear a most opportune time for the government to take hold of the prob- lem of making all available waste land productive.
 Meat is getting higher. flour is SO high now that bread is almost lux ury: butter and milk cost so much that the child of the poor man hardly | knows what real butter and real cream look like; sugar is fast getting beyond the reach of the poor and so are beans and onions and rice. And | all this with millions of acres of land going to waste, in the degree that it | produces nothing for human consump- lon!
 Tn few years it will be hard for us to make our children believe that We had to wait for war 10 wake us up to the fact that we were deliber- ately wasting our land and the valua- ble opportunities inherent therein.

WASTED LAND.

One of the practical benefits that will accrue to the people of the Uni ted States as a result of our entry into the war will be derived from the enforced utilization of the great areas of wasted land. By wasted" we mean those areas which are lying idle al- though susceptible to cultivation and also those by no means Inconsequent parcels of ground to be found on pratically every American farm along the fences and in the corners and which are only in rare instances deemed of sufficient value to culti- vate. Travel from east to west or where you will through the United States and the literal waste" of valuable land is everywhere apparent. On practically every American farm, save, perhaps, those which are cul- tivated by persons of foreign birth. are to be found strips of ground along the fences varying from three to four to ten or fifteen feet in width. every inch of which is capable of producing crops of some character.
 This land is assuredly wasted" in the fullest sense of the word. Only in rare instances will the owner be found to have made any attempt to bring it under cultivation and seldom if ever will it be found that there has been a systematic effort to make 1t produce even a small percentage of what 1t could and would yield if prop erly cultivated.
 And, needless to say, the area thus wasted throughout the United States collectively represents many thou. sands of acres.
 Every inch of this land could be made to produce some variety of crop of value-if not commercially at least of value and benefit to the farmer and his family. In addition to green stuffs for the family table. these areas can also be made to produce peas, beans potatoes and an almost endless assort- ment of other food products.
 Whether or not this waste of valua- ble land is due to carelessness or lack of business perspicacity on the part of the American farmer need not be entered into but the fact remains that land which would feed thousands is lying utterly neglected even on the best cultivated farms in every sec- tions of the country. Time and again discerning foreigners have commented pubncly on this obvious waste o1 valuable farm land in America by pointing to the tendency of the Euro pean farmer to utilize every inch of his soil, even to planting under the fence -ails instead of permitting . wide strip to remain in absolute idle- ness, as IS the rule in the United States.

Canada's Contribution to the War.
Review of Reviews: 1t Is now more
than a century and half since Louis
XIV OF France signed over to Great
Britain the Dominion of Canada with
the light remark: "Oh, well; it's only
few acres of snow"
One cannot help wondering what
his thoughts would have been could
he have had a vision of the Canada
of today and the part she is playing
as an ally of his countrymen of the
twentieth century. Out of a population
of some 1900, 900 Canada has given
40, 900 lighting men to the war. At
the end of last year orders totaling
$1,095, 900, 900 had been, placed with
ders are expected to exceed 500, 000,-
000-or about 500 for every man,
woman and child. .-.+.
At the beginning of this year $50
factories were working on munitiCSI
contracts, the country's output being
now more than that of any European
nation except Germany before the
war. Wooden ships, steel ships and
submarines are being turned out, and
on this account and that the imperial
munitions board is spending annually
more than two and a half times as
much as the federal government
spends in a normal year. Anxious
European allies await the grain and
-four of the Canadian prairies as Gag
erly as ever the populace of ancient
Rome looked for the corn ships from
Sicily and Egypt. And If the province
of Alberta alone were cultivated on
the same intensive scale prevailing in
pre-war Belgium 1t would support an
agricultural population of 10000, 0OO
-or half the entire population of the
United States.

The New Republic: One of the
absurdities that will doubtless be-
come part of the permanent stock
Of Teutonic and Teutonized social
istic dogma is that the United States
entered the war for the sake of pro-
tecting sums of money loaned to
England and France. 1t has never
been the custom Of the socialists to
charge the capitalistic class with
lack of insight into its material in
terests. Indeed, capitalism has been
credited with a quite superhuman
intelligence, unclouded by sentiment
or morality.
Now, what evidence of intelIi-
gence is there in the act of throw
ing good money, and a lot of it, after
bad money representing very little
in the aggregate? What our capital
lists stood a chance of losing, If the
allies had gone down in overwhelm-
ing defeat was less than $4,000, 000,-
900. What they are certain to lose,
IL the war continues through two
years more, is just as large proper
ton of a 20 or 40 billion dollar war
bill as drastic income and profit
taxes can collect. They are also
certain to lose heavily in their capt.
tai values when the influence of war
borrowings upon the interest rate
makes itself felt. .#. >-
II an unscrupulously intelligent
capitalism had been in control of
our government, we should have re-
manned out of the war, busily occu-s
pied with building up trade with
neutral territories and preparing our
selves for new financial conquests in
the period of rehabilitation.
