FEDERAL FARM LOANS

When the proposal for federal
farm loans was first made. short
sighted bankers and eastern stand
patters" not only decried the propo-
sitiOn as paternalistic but insisted
that the farmers did not need and
would not take advantage OF the
measure.
ct- Already the fallacy of this argu-
ment has been proven. More than
1000 farm loan associations have
been or are being organized in the
United States to borrow money un-
der the federal farm loan act. The
amount borrowed averages about
$4,000 for each association. mean
ing that the federal loan banks will,
within year, have outstanding over
$500, 100000 in farm loans. In
Texas alone, 100000 in loans
were applied for during the month
Of August, and throughout the most
important farming sections OF the
nation, including North Dakota,
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Michigan. IL
Hnois, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
Araska, the measure has been the
means Of materially assisting land
owners in financing improved crop

GOOD MUSIC

Time was when New York, the
financial and social center of the ma
tion, boasted the only grand opera
season on this continent. Later
Chicago determined to have her
share of high grade music and sup
ported a rival operate organization.
This situation obtained for few
years, when other of the large east
ern cities determined to have a
grand opera season" annually, with
the result that the grand opera or
CARNATIONS made a limited tour
among the larger eastern cities. Civ
ing three of four performances in
each.
From this has developed an an
nual transcontinental tour by one of
the best and most talented operatic
organizations ever organized. Sc
attic. Portland, San Francisco and
Los Angeles are the Pacific coast
points fortunate enough to secure
this company. and again southern
Oregon, because of its strategic loca-
tion half way between Portland and
San Francisco, is permitted to en-
Joy the rate treat OF a real grand
opera production by genuine grand
opera company.
The man who, ten years ago, sug-
gested that the Rogue river valley
could hear rendition Of Carmen
by such an organization as the La
Scala Grand Opera company would
have been laughed at, and still it is
an accomplished fact.
Good music like good literature
adds to the fullness of a community
life. 1t should be encouraged as
well as appreciated by hearing it at
every possible opportunity.

FLY YOUR FLAG

Being all of us more or less ia rlilisr with army regulations, and in this sense we have been reared in the belief that the United States army is maintained for the sole pur- pose oF protecting the United States Flag, when it comes to us, as pri- yats citizens to do revenance to the flag. and honor and love it, ana protect it, even with our liEe's blood, 1T needs be, We take solace in the thought that we are pro tected from our enemies while we stand in the shadow of our flag, and like the little kkiddy when he is frightened by some bug-a-boo, seeks prot tectiOn in the folds of his mothers skirt, in turhulen' times We seek protection in the folds of Old Glory.
 That is why we, as Americans raise the flag over our homes, and We feel relieved, for We know that our Nauon will never permit that flag be insulted, or defiled, or lowered. Let us then do reverence to the Flag. Let us treat the flag with dignity, with loving kindness, and never do one unworthy act. Let Us properly care for the flag.
 Th's brings us back to our open ing sentence. I've presume to know .H certain army regulations" and one of these regulations is that Old Glory is to be raised each day at sunrise to the peak of the mast, and when the sun Is sinking in the west a. eventide, it is to be lower ed with dignity, and properly housed. This is an army regulation but not a law for private citizens. Is you take any solace in the knowl- edge that your flag is flying OCT your head during the dark night, s. is your privilege to have 1t thus fly. l. is your very own flag as a citizen of the United States, and es long as you reverence it and love r. fly it over your home, or your place O. business, proud in the thought that you are willing to give your life, if need be, that it stands for freedom, and sleep secure in the though. that you are a free man.

 Arrives At Juneau Arriving at Juneau he was given particularly hearty welcome and saw a dozen or so oldtimers that he knew in the early days of Alaska Among them was China Joe, since found dead in bed, who enjoyed the distinction of being the only China man allowed to remain in that city since memorable day in 1886 when the citizens of the embryo northern metropolis packed all the "heathen Chinese" on a boat and turned them , loose on the broad Pacific with ad- mOnitions to get out and stay out | Another prominent oldtimer whom
 Father AlthOff came in contact with was Tom Wilson, a grizzed sour dough of 95 who helped the Nelson
 priest stake the ground for Catholic
 churches at Juneau and Wrangell
 Old Tom O'keefe aged S5 was an
 other old timer with whom Father
 Althoff renewed his acquaintance

 Father Althoff's visit was the taking

 mine will never be worked again During his visit to the Island Father
 Althoff officiated at the Church of the Nativity, Douglas.
 Father Althoff went to Alaska in 1879 from Victoria, staying there un- till 1895. His recent visit marked his first trip to the Territory in 22 years. He came here in 1902 and has been here since.

FATHER ALTH0FF PLEASED WITH
 ALASKA TRIP
Tells of His Reception in Juneau and Meeting with Sourdoughs
 of the North.
TRIP WAS WORTH $1O,OOO

1 Rev. Father Althoff, who recently
 visited Juneau after an absence of years, has returned to his charge at
 Nelson. 5. C., and the Daily News of that city, in it's issue of Monday. June 4th, contained an article that will interest all Juneau people, par ticularly, and many in Southeastern Alaska especially. Father Althoff ex- presses his greatest pleasure at the reception received here. The article is as follows:
 | q wouldn't have missed that trip for $10.000. It made my heart glad 1 to shake hands with the old boys again"
 That's the way the very Rev. John Althoff of the church of Mary Inn maculate and vicargeneral for the archdiocese of Vancouver expressed himself to a Daily News representa- tive last night in discussing a trip to Alaska. He returned from the northern territory last week
 1 The far northern land of gold and sourdoughs has a peculiar interest to the venerable Nelson priest for I he was the first ambassador of the | Catholic church priests to carry the gospel into the far reaches of the northern territory For some years ! he labored there as the solitary evangelist of the Catholic faith when Alaska was Alaska" as the grey. haired old timers of that rich coun- try are in the habit of saying in la menting the bygone days of the fla nous "gold rush" period.
 Regales Sourdoughs With Stories
 "I was glad to see them and they were glad to see me-" said Father Althoff And to my surprise when reached Juneau big public recep- tion had been arranged for me in the Knights of Columbus Hall a fine building on the very site where cleared a full city block years ago with my own hands.
 And how do you think they knew was coming? It was this way: Dave Smeaton, former Nelson ticket agent, had seen it announced in the Daily News that l was leaving for Alaska and handed over the news item in that paper to the Daily Elm pire, Juneau. That started the old 1 timers making arrangements for a
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-06-13

reception and when I got there was royalty received. They just made me stand up and tell them stories of bygone days and relate my ex periences during the rough pioneer period that I spent in the Territory Any time I told an unusual story of old times I asked an ancient sour dough who sat there with tears glist. ening with his eyes if what 1 said was right Right it is father he would reply, and so the evening went on.
 Stovepipe Hat Day
 q told them of the time was in Wrangell when the male popula. ton of that then struggling little place called to pay their respects to me one Christmas day, taking turns in wearing the only stovepipe hat in Alaska. It was mystery how that hat ever got there in those days. l told them of the time when I rented a house under which had been stored $1.000 worth of whiskey by the illicit trader. The man told me afterward he rented me the house because he felt sure that if the sky pilot stayed there the In. dians would not go browsing around the place for liquor. And there was an unconscious guardian of all that quantity of ardent spirits. and all the time was preaching to the In dians on the evils of using strong drink"
 Father Althoff took with him sev eral pictures of early day life in Al aska and presented them to the Pioneers Association of 'S7 at Ju neau. He is a member of that so ciety and wears the gold insignia of membership as watch charm.
 Father Althoff left here on April l4 and spent day in Spokane and then went to Chicago, where he also stayed a day. He was met at the Chicago depot by Patrick Scanlon brother of Thomas Scanlon, of Mel son. From Chicago, he went to Nashville Tenn. He was a week in Gainesville among the tobacco plan tations where his nephew, William Lamp, was on a tobacco-buying trip in the interest of firms in Switzer- land, Belgium, Holland and the Scan dinavian countries. A striking cor roboration of the statement that the boys in the trenches appreciate noth- ing more than smokes" is shown by the fact that over $63S,000 freight had been paid by the firm MT. Lamp represents in shipping the fragrant leaf to the war zone and countries contiguous.
 Just Like Nebuchadnezzar
 It will be cheering news to those who fear that the present war and the resultant shortage of labor may lead to near famine conditions on the North American continent to learn from Father Althoff that the people in the southern states make salads from alfalfa hay and also cook that well known grass like the people up here do spinach.
 It's not owing to any food short age or feared food shortage either said the reverend gentlemen. but be
