a government which differed somewhat
from that Of Its rival In that Novgorod
was dominated by plutocratic mer-
chant class whereas in Pskov the
poorer elements Of the population
usually maintained themselves In
power.
The princes of Moscow early in the
sixteenth century succeeded In de-
priving Pskov Of its independence and
from that time its rulers were subject
to the overlords Of the great Russian
metropolis.
Pskov owed its salvation in 1870 to
4 patriotic monk, Nicholas Salos, who,
by feigning madness. dissuaded the
ruthless Ivan the Terrible from his
determination to destroy the city be-
cause It had been suspected Of trea-
son to that monarch's cause. Eleven
years later the citizens resisted the
besieging army OF Poland's king,
Stephen Bathory, for seven months. II
was also besieged at one time by Gus
tavus Adolphus.
Inside the walls Of the Kremlin is
the famous old Cathedral Of the Holy
Trinity, founded in 1913. The present
structure dates from 16s1-99. Here
are buried the princes Of Pskov, among
them the courageous Prince Dovmont
under whose leadership the Teutonic
Knights were defeated In the 18th
century and during whose regime the
city's first walls were built, enabling
the citizens Of Pskov to make good
their claim Of independence from Nov
gorod.
For many years during the middle
ages Pskov was an important men,
Der Of the Hanseatic League. and a
German factory was established here
on the left bank Of the Velikaya- The
Germans, however, were not especial
ly popular In Pskov even in that day.
for they were not permitted to cross
the bridge Of boats from the factory
into the main portion Of the town.
which at its zenith had a population
of $4,000.
Pskov Is an important station for
trade between Riga and Novgorod. Its
exports include fax, corn, honey. tall
low, skins, tar and timber, while It's
imports consist chiefly Of woolens and
manufactured goods. It has a regular
steamer service with Dcrpat, on the
Embach river. a tributary Of Lake
Peipus.

TAKING LIBERTY LOAN
 BONDS IN TRADE

"l hope that the merchants of the country. upon a more careful consid- eration of the subject. will discOntin- ue their efforts to sell merchandise and take payment in Liberty Loan Bonds" says Secretary McAdoo.
 The Secretary states that he has no doubt that merchants offer0B to take Liberty Loan Bonds in exchange for merchandise are actuated by pat riotic motives, but that such transac- tions tend to defeat a primary object of the bond sales, as they discourage thrift and increase expenditures. Bonds so taken in exchange in lost cases are immediately sold in the op- en market, which tends to suppress the market price and adversely af- feet sales of future issues.
 The strongest efforts are made by the Treasury Department to have these Government bonds purchased for permanent investment by the peo- pie and paid for out of savings, thus not only providing funds for the Gov ernment but effecting conservation of labor and material; exchanging them for merchandise therefore defeats this purpose.

TIE contrast between the vision ary spirit which animates the Bolshe wiki and the practical comprehension of actual conditions by the British labor party is strikingly evident. The former. misguided into the belief that they can establish a modern Utopia, are at the point of being crushed by ruthless imperialists. The latter, who are under no illusions as to Ger many's objects in the war. have lined up for the war program of Premier Lloyd George and President Wilson. The difference is that between dream CTS and sophisticated men.

INVESTMENTS IN WAR TIME

IL appears that the wildcat stock salesman. who tiourished more abun- dantly before the days of the blue-sky laws than now. is maneuvering to separate the widow from her mite of liberty bonds. 4 few days ago Secre- tary McAdoo. of the treasury, issued a warning to head off this movement, by urging bond investors to beware of irresponsible persons offering oth- CT securities in exchange for their liberty bonds.
 MT. McAdoo rightly appealed to bondholders to hold fast to the best investment in the world" saying that while some of the securities or so- called securities offered in exchange for government bonds, are of sound value, there is no doubt that large percentage of them are worthless.
 Dealing with kindred subject Golfers Weekly says:
 One allows for certain margin of shallow headedness in the human race, but that people need to be warn ed against the fake investments at this time seeks rather large order for credulity. Anyone with sense enough to count his cash ought to know that there never were such real rewards offered for savings as are be ing offered now. Stocks can be bought to yield per cent and bonds to yield gilt-edged, sterling solid stuff. and in endless variety. Any banker or businessman acquainted with finance can give his dollars in enterprises for producing synthetic pork or grapevine gasoline or a de- vice for smelling out submarines at sea. how is good advice going to reach his seat of consciousness?
 ITO our mind, the success of the liberty loans and the war savings cer- tificates shows clearly enough that most of our intelligent people know where to put their money"

THE Prussian house of lords has re-afirmed the divine right of kings. In connection with a resolution re- gently passed by the junker house was this commentary: "The President of the United States has asked if the German negotiations at Brest-Lito- vsk are in the name of the majority of the reichstag or in the name of the military party. For our part. we affirm that it is the German emperor, who. in the terms of the constitution has the exclusive right to make war or neace. <" Now where are those apol- Ogists for the German system who assert that the kaiser's government i, as d,mocratic as our own?

Now Wednesday is our wheatless day And We should all save wheat, So don't turn up your nose at corn For it's very good to eat. Then when Saturday rolls around
 once more,
 We'll eat no pork or things like

It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound. both copper and gold, and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com pany, which also owns a splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites.
 VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States. Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their outftting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -15 in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win [ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over a fine road. through the most magnifi- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. Tn winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings

When Miss Barrymore
Was Stage Sixteen

THE mobility Of NJ Copcau's troupe
4 was effectively displayed in five other
plays covering a wide emotional range.
The spirit OF sheer broad farce was
delightfully."- caught in the less ambi-
tIous Moiiere Offering, the skptchy
Jalousic dc Barbouilc." Eouard's Poll
de Carottc," in which, as in "Los
Frorcs Earamaaoy," the director him
self participated. strikiugIy revealed the
facility with which this remarkable
company can accommodate itself to an
atmosphere ,oC wistru pathos.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall that the little play was no uoy-
city here. Under the title of carrots
Ethel Barrymore gave it touching
presentation in English at the Garrcll
Theatre in December 1902, She por.
trayed most appealingly its misiudged
neurotic boy hero. The conception of
this actress as a sixteen-year-old lad
is today a considerable strain on the
memory.
