JOHN BARLEYCORN
Died Saturday Night.

Manufacture Of whiskey ceased
throughout the nation at il o'clock.
Saturday night. when the prohibition
clause of the food control act became
effective.
Millions of bushels of grain which
would otherwise be ground up for
whskey will thus be released for food.
How many millions, no one knows, for
the manufacture of alcohol for beyer-
age purposes is so closely blended with
the production of alcohol for industrial
and medicinal purposes that there is no
way to determine the exact amount.
OF the 100. 600. 900 bushels Of grain,
or whereabouts, which goes into the
distileries each year, about forty per
cent, experts estimate, comes out in
the form of whiskey and other distilled
beverage drinks. The remainder, made
into alcohol Of exactly the same char
acteristics as that used for whiskey,
eventually finds its way into perfumes,
toilet waters, bay rum, medicines and
to industries where denatured alcohol
is used in ever increasing quantities.

CROP ESTIMATES
Show Large Production.

The crop estimates Of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
Kentucky show that approximately
thirty one million bushels increase in
corn will be raised in the state this
year. Wheat. oats and hay show an
increase. but the state will probably
produce ten million pounds less of to-
bacco. 1t is interesting TO note the
differences in price on September !,
1917 and September / 1916. Wheat
has advanced from S1.4l to $500, corn
from 90c to Sl.S9, oats from 55c to 79c,
eggs from 20 to q cents a dozen.

 OWNERSHIP

Government ownership and opera tion of coal mines as a remedy for the high cost of coal Is prdeicted by pr, George Otis Smith, director of tho United States geological survey.
 Speaking before the American Mining Congress in Chicago, he said that in the whole field of productive business 1t seemed to him that the coal business is the one that is most likely to come under govern menG ownership,
 In a striking manner Smith ex- plained that the coal mine owners are able to collect from the coal burning public, not for digging the coal, but simply for allowing the mining company to dig 1t.
 "ore of the latest leases by 8 large coal land owner" he says provides for the payment of 27 per cent Of the selling price or The Coa1 at the breaker, This percentage, therefor, Is not only royalty, but also a commission on the miner s wage"
 HOW this reward for land owner ship works out is Illustrated by Director Smith in the case of the Glrard estate of Philadelphia
 Figured on the output from the Gira1d lands," he says, ''Which IS nearly three per cent o& the fotai production, the gross return or the estate from it's coal lands is over 50 cents 8 ton"
 The people of the United States says Smith, cannot afford to allow private interests to obtain control of coal resources, because future generations cannot afford to pay tht orice that would be leCessary-Ex.

PTARhIGAN
 ARE PLENTIFUL

The CordoYa Times claims that the missing ptarmigan have been foun33. and in substantiation of this statement says:
 Scientific sharps and experts of bird lore have an opportunity tQ set forth their knowledge in re- gard to whether Or not the above is a statement or a Emisstatement of fact. Here is the basis of the ar- gunent:
 From nearly every part of the territory reports were received this year that the ptarmigan had van ished. A few scattering birds were seen. but the vast nocks were not to be found,
 Some said that cold weather kill ed them; others that they had mi grated.
 Messages have been received at valdez within the week from Dr. French on Bristol bay that millions and millions of ptarmigaR have gatl cred on the Alaskan peninsula Dr. French wrote after crossing the pen insula enroute home from term of court at Valdez. He said that neVe in the history of that section had the birds been so thick.
 The natives are taking advantage of the invasion and are living high.
 The contention is that these birds migrated from other parts, but oth- acs claim that the Qtarmigan does not migrate and hat the reason he is so plentiful out there is that con dttions were favorable at matching time, while the reason for scarcity elsewhere is answered by the cold weather of last summer.
 The debate will be ''The Ptarmi- gan on the Alaska Peninsula Mi grated there" or 'The Ptarmigan There Are Newly Matched Sons and Daughters of the Local Tribe"

Tho L.roh ln Labrador.

The soil and atmosphere are so cold and dry in Labrador that scarcely any vegetation thriyes at all. The larch is a species of pine tree which is found in all northern countries, but its growth is so stunted in Labrador that a specimen found on the most southern part of that dreary land was but nine inches in height and the trunk was but three-eighths of inch in diameter. A careful examination of the miniature tree revealed it's age to be at least thir- ty-two years, for there were that num- Der of ring growtls shown in it's small trunk. The very cold currents pouring down from the north and the fact that Labrador has less sunshine than Alas ka, together with several inland cli- matic conditions, make the summer seasons shorter and colder than are those of Alaska.-EXchange.

EARLE OF THE KID OUT WEST

(L. R. in the Spokane Chronicle.)
 Not so very many years before Bryan first run there was a man by the name of H. Greeley who said, 'k'i, beat it-the old mans fam ily is getting tco large" So the kld gathered up his marbles and travelled.
 Now the old man proceeded to grow self-centered and corpulent and forgot all about the kid who had disappeared somewhere beyond the Mississippi. One day the kid, who had grown strong and brawny emerged from his tar paper shack out in the sage brush and says, "Pa I can build just as big g sky scrap CT as you can,p and he did it. Pa says, Now don't get foolish" " Then the kid says, "Pa, I can raise more grain to the acre than you can," and he did it. Pa says,

Then the old man says, 70 you talk too much" ," and he got jealous and proceeded to tell the kid where to get off at. The kid was full of ginger and he whac 6ed the old man one oyer the cranium and says, Pa, take bite out of my prohibition and see how you like it."
 Then he gave him another whack on the pate and says, When you have swallowed that try some of my woman suffrage and see how yo like it, Then the kid says, "Pa, this hurts me worse than it does you," and he gave his center of culture a solar plexus blow.
 Next he ran right through his pet literary field with his Rlkali smeared boots on, then he took running jump at his chief financial center. tin-canned the Tammany pup and proceeded to dictate to the old man who should run the ranch for the next four years.
 Then when the kid stopped to get his wind, the old man faltering and with tears in his eyes, says, Son you're a chip off the old block Il am proud of you-you're a bet ter man than your dad ever was," and the son of the Kid" whose mother was a suffragette grew strong and wise, and looking for green fields and pastures new, came to Alaska, where there is much good soil, and equal rights, and prohibition, and he had his fathers ttbe Kid's) knowledge of modern methods, and in 8 few years he re- turned to the home of his childhood and he double discounted his father (the Kid), for he had vast acres of grain, and cattle, and gold mines, and coal mines, and copper mines, and pulp mills, and salmon can neries, and huge ships and-wen history repeated itself, only on a larger scale than it did for THE KID.

Millions for improvements

BISREE, Ariz., May 19.-Two min ing companies in Arizona this week made known plans for the expenditure of two million dollars for additional work The Denn- Arizona will expand al million and half of the total The United Verde Extension puts in half a million. Denn is considered a proven copper property. The matter now in hand is to further open it's ore bodies. United Verde Extension is a made copper mine, one Of the most valuable on the continent and in some respects 2 phenomenal property. Its latest au- thorized expenditure of a half a mil lion will provide haulage tunnel of length of 13,500 feet which will deliver its ores from 300 level of the mine to the railroad crossing the valley below Jerome to the new shelter site of the Extension, where expenditures which will probably total three million dol lars are now underway in carrying out Smelter and railroad construction.
 S2,500,0o0 for Week
 There might be added to this weeks total of two million dollars additional money for home expenditure, another half million dollars. this last called for by the Jerome Verde Mining O. The Jerome VerGe belongs in the prospect class. but with so much nearness achieved to the establishment of a commercial ore body that it is con- ceded to be next in line in the state as a proven copper mine.

 Two and a half million dollars may thus be said to have come into new work of well advanced and established copper mining properties Of Arizona. while another million might be counted as of late apportionment by concerns developing new properties still wholly in the prospect stage, where all min ing properties belong until such time as they have established very strong grounds. through extensive develop ment, for the belief that they have commercial ore bodies available.
