RECLAIMING THE NORTHLAND

Make the Northland from Boring sea to Labrador the greatest grazing land and the one permanent pasture of the world. This is the plan Will hjalmur Stefansson. the noted Arctic explorer will recommend to Ottawa.
 The idea is sound It deserves at. tention, and 1t is to be hoped that one who has gained the reputation of a northern authority such as MT. Stefansson enjoys will be able to get the ear Of the Canadian government in the matter. The plan is not altogether new insofar as it concerns the making of a grazing land of this vast north ern belt, as others have advocated the idea for years. But MT. Stefansson elaborates on the plan. and perhaps can parade it where it will receive a great deal of influential support The schheme cannot be expected to bios som into large and productive full grown plant all at once. but it can be so handled that perhaps the idea will
 
 obtain root now and grow rapidly. Caribou, grazing throughout the North have proved of great value as meat to natives and whites Reindeer, which are akin to the caribou, are being in troduced in Alaska in vast herds and are making their owners wealthy. The reindeer subsist on lichens, known as reindeer moss. Now comes MT. Stef- ansson with the endorsement of the reindeer or domesticated caribou for the moss areas, and with the sugges- tion that the musk OK be introduced from the Arctic isles to subsist on the grass areas. The musk OK is a cold climate animal, and hourishes far north among the treeless sections and through the bitter wind swept wastes the year round. If he will do as well in the forest areas of north ern Canada and Alaska, millions of square miles will be suitable for him which now are of little value, and thereby would be found of use for lands which seem doomed otherwise to waste Mir. Stefansson predicts that if the musk OK be properly pro tected by law he may become a source of tallow, hides, milk, wool and meat, thereby making Argentina and Australia of secondary import ance as grazing countries. Add the reindeer as another possibility, and the whole area of northern Canada and Alaska looms large with promise.

Men Under New Law Should Not
 Leave Territory

On account of the unrest due to lack of information concerning the new man power bill. providing for the registration for military purposes of all persons between the ages of eighteen and forty five years. Captain J. J. Finnegan, in charge of the en- forcement of draft laws, made the following statement:
 None of those between the ages of eighteen and forty-five who have not yet been registered will be permitted to enlist until they are registered and classified. and many of them may be greatly embarrassed If they go to the States before that time because they are liable to be held and inducted into the service on account of not having occupations.
 The registration will not be com plotCd in Alaska until December. and the classification will not be complet- ed until in February or after that date
 None of those who register under the new law will be called to the service until April or later
 Liberal Deferred CIassifications
 The classiications are much more liberal in the case of people between the ages of eighteen and twenty and thirty-two and forty-five than they are between twenty-one and thirty-one. All those engaged in any of the es- sential industries. like mining. fishing, lumbering, and producing anything re- garded as an essential will receive deferred classification and may never be called to the colors."
 People between the ages of eighteen and forty-five can best serve them selves and their country by remaining in Alaska at this time

 No doubt the regulations for 1919 will require the 1918 licenses to be presented before a new license will be issued All licensees should therefore call for their licenses.

The two countries may become of in calculable value on those lines alone. Then. once these products afford cheap food, exports of such products will follow. and the local development of minerals and other resources will be made possible on low scale of costs-thus reclaiming the whole Northland to occupation as homes meaning the reclamation of the North to civilization. The project Is one with which to conjure. It seems sub stantial enough for earnest expert ments. If successful 1t will double or treble the present productive area of Canada and of Alaska and add a new empire to the world. Let the matter be investigated seriously.

BONDS GOOD INVESTMENT

If there still remain any who need to be convinced that Liberty bonds are a safe investment comparison of American and German financial ob- legations should remove all doubt, ac- cOrdng to United States treasury department statement.
 The total resources of the United States are about two hundred and fifty billion dollars, and those of Ger many before the war about eighty bill lions. The national debt of the Unit ed States including the Third Liberty loan. is twelve billions, and the debt of Germany thirty billion dollars
 Before the war our government was spending annually about one billion dollars, and with interest. insurance expenses and other charges growing out of the war. this will be increased by two billions. which must be raised for annual revenue. Germany will be forced to raise four billion dollars yearly in addition to .he eight hun dred million dollars necessary for rev enue before the war
 These annual debts may be in creased as the war progresses. but the relative values will remain the same. and with annual earnings of fifty billions 1t should be a small mat. ter for the United States to increase it's revenue from one billion to two billion dollars.

mand for farm labor can be largely

ton between the farmers and the
government which the government

in this state known as the I. ).

the shortage Of farm labor. This
organization is composed Of boys
between the ages of Is and 81

who have passed medical eXamina-
tons as to their strength and en-
durance Some have had practical
farm experience. some have had a
three months course in farming in
their schools with some practical
training. can drive and harness a
two-horse team and all are willing
to work for such wages as the
farmer is willing to pay. All of
them are strong and ready to work
and some OF them can run tractors
and other machinery.
These boys are mostly from high
schools in the towns and cities and
could find plenty of work and en-
pIoyment in the cities bat have en-
rolled in this organization as a
patriotic duty to help win the war.
OF course in some cases it will
take a little patience on the part
of the farmers but with a little
training these boys will make good
