A WASTE OF TIME.

If the Lokal Anzeiger and the Cologne Zei- tun@ newspapers represent the German people to talk peace is mere waste of time, because the editors must be perfect nuts" Commenting on the recent proceedings in the British house of commons, the Lokal Anzeiger says:
 Mr. Asquiths inquiry, as to whether
 we were ready to restore Belgium's full
 freedom, can only be meant as a rhetorical
 question, for Mr. Asquith must know that,
 aside from handful of dreamers, nobody
 thinks of handing Belgium again to Eng
 land and France
 The Catholic organ, the Cologne Volks Zei- tung, attempts to prove that the retention of Belgium and the annexation of regions in the east are indispensable to the protection of Ger many's frontiers. Besides annexation these papers claim that Germany must be given large indemnities as terms for peace. Is not this the acme of absurdity? In other words, don't they prove to the world that they are "nuts?" We have sent men here who talked more rational

JUST A SUGGESTION.

N Assistant Secretary Herbert A. Meyer, Sec retary Lanes confidential adviser, passed thru here few days ago for Seward and Anchorage on a tour of inspection, may be expected to re- turn within the next two weeks. At this point we may say that we had the pleasure of meeting the Secretary, whom we found to be deeply inter- ested in everything pertaining to Alaska, and he is visiting the territory to find out for himself facts Thus knowing his interest in us and our country, wouldn't it be advisable for the repre- sentative citizens of Ketchikan to invite him to stop over for day or two and hear what we have to say in reference to our fishing industry :? Facts gathered by MT. Myer at first hand and re- ported to Mr. Lane might help some.

A distinction should be made between teaching the German language the public schools for practical pur Doses of business, of mental discipline and s necessary enjoyment of German literature and teaching it. to the neglect of English In commun ities in majority of the people are Germans wlo do not care have their children learn English but perpetrate in the land of their adoption the language Of the fatherland

IMPROVEMENT OF EGG YIELD
Crushed oyster-sheIi Food Should Be
Kept Before Laying Hens to Sc.

The department Of agriculture, Wash.
ington, recommends that crushed oys-
ter-shell food be kept before laying
hens as means through which a good
hard egg is produced. A record kept
at the government chicken yard Of the
amount of oyster shells fed to laying
hen showed that in the year one and
three-tenths pound per hen was con-
sumed at cost of about l cent hen
per year.
1t is also pointed out that the calci-

Chinas which are considered quite pro-
ductive breeds. They lay on an aver
age of about so eggs a year, and are
very likely to increase their egg pro-
duction as they grow older.
The customary way of raising geese
Is to let them shift for themselves to
a great extent, and If they have plen-
ty of good grass pasture they do very
well. Experience has shown that geese
do not do well on a ration consisting
largely of grain. Grit is an essential
in the diet of the goose, but doubt
the advisabllity Of feeding sour milk
to any great extent, as l believe any
thing which will force egg production
would likely have some detrimental ef-
feet upon the fertility of the egg.
While grit and oyster shells are es-
sential they are not usually provided
because geese are not confined like
chickens, and pick up enough of such
material ut most any time of the year.

BEANS TO FIGHT BULLETS

In the campaign of 'Every Scout to
Feed Soldier it has been found that
the Boy Scouts of America and the
agricultural department at Washing
ton fitted and worked together like
wheel and its aXle-a well-cared-for
wheel, that is, and one working with
out squeak or n groan.
1t was early learned that the eff

cient supply of American food. One
of the first things our men discovered
was that the continental breakfast"
would not last them until the next
meal. Habits of eating cannot be
changed quickly. Accustomed foods
are best. And this necessity and this
logic have brought the American bean
to the front as an aid to the American
soldier.
Mr. Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of
the American food committee of the
council of national defense, advises
that there is great shortage of beans
in Europe and that there is no more
nutritious food upon which the Boy

The scouts were able to report that
In response to Mr.. Hoover's cablegram
urging the increased production of
beans, activities had been inaugurated
in all parts of the country.
The report showed that thousands
of gardens have been started, and in
many cases as many as 200 to 800
acres are under cultivation by groups
of Boy Scouts.
Mr.. James e. West, chief scout exec

and Moscow markets is marked.
Broadly, Petrograd disposes Of higher
class of article at corresponding prices.
Moscow's clients belong mainly to the
peasant classic the inhabitants OF
the rural towns, whose wants are re-
stricted, if not primitive, and who are
in the stage when new wants and
habits are forming. This does not
necessarily lessen the range and va
riety of the articles desired-rather
the contrary. But the attractiveness
of the articles, rather than the quality,
appeals, and cheapness is an all-deter-
mining factor. This attitude was clev-
erly grasped and exploited by the Ger
man trader, and in this connection,
nowhere else so much as in Moscow Is
the evidence of German adaptability,
and of German trade penetration" OF
Russia more apparent. Moscow's
stores We're full of German goods.
Large numbers of these stores We're
obviously German, while the represent
atives of German houses in the dis
trict must have been numbered by
thousands. In Moscow's best depart
ment store, the largest in Russia,
Wnlcn was ROUNDED Dy ScOtslnen IN tne
forties of the last century, and is still
conducted under British management,
probably 60 per cent of the foreign
goods on sale have been of German
manufacture. The range of retail
prices paid, and the quality which sat
isfies even the good class in Moscow,
are distinctly lower than in the better
class trade of Petrograd

proving the big campaign to assist in
insuring a sufficient food supply for
the United States and her allies.
Mr.. Galloway says: LET every
Boy Scout do his best. In the language
of the president, let him consider him
self Il soldier of the commissary."
With the aid of Mr.. II. G. Benson,
detailed by the department of agricul-
ture; Mr.. Hal b. Fullerton Of the
Long Island railroad, known as the
chief grub scout and the help and en-
men in the United States, great strides
have been made in the campaign to
increase the 1917 crop.
In various parts of the country Boy
Scouts, in addition to taking part in
planting, participated In activities to
arouse public interest and thought as
to the seriousness of the situation. In
many places monster parades and dem
onstrations have taken place, the
scouts carrying hoes, rakes and other
garden implements and displaying ap-
propriately wOrded placards.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, when asked
for an expression of opinion regarding
the drive which the Boy Scouts of
America are making to increase bean
production, wrote: "My dear Mr..
West: I cordially indorse what Mr..
Hoover has said about the scouts. We
should eliminate all waste and stimu-
late food production at every point.
think Mr.. Hoover's suggestion that the
scouts should take as their own prov.
ince the stimulation of bean produc-
ton is particularly good. Let each
scout start garden and thereby help
feed the soldiers"
AS an instance of the readiness OF
scouts to respond to such a call 1t Is
reported that within forty minutes aft
er orders for their mobilization were
issued, 200 Boy Scouts from Albany,
N. Y, and vicinity, many of whom
were called from their dinner tables,
assembled at the city hall and we're
formally offered to the city.
1t is expected that many Of the va
cant lots throughout the city which
have been offered by patriotic citizens
will be worked by the scouts. The
scouts have already formed summer
agricultural camps to aid In the har.

richest and the most thickly
populated part of the country.
This region contains IS governments,
covering an area of 100000 square
miles-less than one-half Of the area
Of the Petrograd district, but with
more than twice the population, viz,
45,OO0,O00. AS might be expected, says
writer in the magazine, Russia, the
large towns are both larger and more
numerous than elsewhere in Russia.
Moscow had in 1912 population of
1917 600. Railway communications
are, for Russia, relatively well devel-
oped here and to the south.
AS place of business Moscow occu-
pies a unique position. The interests
located there control and serve the
enormous area of which the city forms
literally the geographical center, in all
matters of supply and demand for
mainly agricultural country; and 1t is
through the Moscow merchants and
agency houses that foreign imports
are brought most directly before the
consumers. With characteristic enter
prise, the Moscow merchants have also
organized and may be said to control
the Siberian trade. Many of the most
successful of her citizens are Siberian
born, who find it desirable to live in
Moscow to direct the financing and the
purchasing end of their business opera
tions.
