STAY WITH IT

May .Alsskans at this time or the year get dissatisfied with the country and make plans to leave De- fore the snow flies.
 To these we would say: Take stock of yourself and your resourc- es before you finally decide to go' and [, en stay here. You are do- ing your part when you stick to your job, no matter what kind of useful work 1t Is. If you quit and move around there Is a lot of time wasted, not only on your part, but your employer Is losing. Another man has to be trained to take your place and he has to quit his job and someone else take his place, and SO the endless chain of lost time goes ca.
 The chances are that you will not better yourself-you are doing well noW-you don't know how you will do where you move to. Better stick to certainty than to chase the will O the wisp that someone tells you about.
 Your Uncle Sam says Stick to your job,% 80 like 8 good soldier stay with it till the war Is over, and in so doing you will have ac- complMhe1 a great good for your country and for yourself.-Douglas Island News.

THE PATH

I rolled up the curtain, and peeped out at life; The pillows were foaming with anger and strife No calmness I saw, but high roll ing waves That sreedily yawned like open graves. And gulls moaning flew, like souls of ne slain That eYen in death, remember their pain. The suns golden 'Bplendor as it trimmed the high crest; Only showed more plainly the storm on her breast. While in the far distance, like blood of the slain, The flags of all nations quiYered with pain. The oceans wide surface seemed lonely and cold AS shroud ali speckled and cover ed with mould. Far off in the distance, a black towering thing, There seemed to hover, like death on, the wing; Then sank slowly from sight, meath the horizons rim, ... As the suh touched, the spot, where before it had been; Then ocean calmed down, like the ! peace in soul, That at last hears Heaven, the longed for goal And the sun softly Bhone from the heaven above On the Pathway of Nations, all hushed in His love,

TAXES PLACE OF REAL EYE
Invention of French oculIst invaluable to Soldiers Who Have Suffered
 Disagreement.

The high velocities and high explo- siveness of the present-day projectiles often result in facial wounds of most horrible appearance, in the repair of which the surgeons meet with extreme difficulties. In particular. soldiers re turn from the line of fire not merely with an eye shot out, but with the en- tire lid and eye socket destroyed, and the absence of these foundations has often made the insertion of an arti- ficial eye impossible.
 Until the present moment there. has never existed any means, for conceal Ing this dlsfgurement and restoring to the unfortunate victim the appearance of a normal man possessing two eyes. But quite recently French oculist, Henri Einius, has made 1t possible to do this even when the eyelid Is entire ly missing.
 In its essential features the apparatus consists of an artificial eye, equipped with lid of any convenient plastic material-parafin or molding paste, colored to match the subjects com plexion. This eye Is furnished also with lashes, to give to 1t to the fullest extent the appearance of a natural eye. It derives It's support from fine metal wires attached to eyeglass or spectacles, so adjusted that when the latter is placed upon the nose. the artificial eye falls accurately into It's cavity. The eye may easily be sepa- rated from these attachments for cleaning.

NIZINA DISTRICT

Several large hydraulic outfits are at work in this district. The largest is owned by Howard Birch, wko is working very rich ground, put handicapped by the shortage of labor. He is paying $5 a day and board. He expects to clean up two or three pits this summer; and a. bout 3OO,OOO feet of bedrock in the entire seasons work.
 Esterly's big hydraulic outfit is lying idle at the present time on ac' count of the high cost of Operat- ing, and the high cost of everything else in the district. The company has some good ground but prefers to wait until after the war to oper- ate 1t.
 On Rex Creek, the Andrews hy- draulic outfit with Bert CarVey in charse is working about 12 to If men, and will make big cleanup.
 Many smaller outfits are. work inG slone the river, and all are very optimistic over the summer cleanup
 The big bridge across the Nizina has gore out, five gaps averaging about 15O xfeet each oppearing in the structure, the material having gone down stream to join McGinty at the kottom of the Sea. The first high water tore the pilingf rom a numoer of bents and the balance soon went. It is great disappoint, ment to lose this bridge, as it was a great convenience to the people of the district, or would have been, if it had stood the test of high water. It is believed it will be a total loss to tbe district.

TOMATOES GROW
WITHOUT BLIGHT

Mobile. Ala, July lS.-A farme-
living near Mobile believes that he
has discovered a method Of growing
tomatoes so that they are not subject
to blight. He bases his belief upon
six years Of successful results. This
farmer, whose name is r. Des Rocher,
has this year several acres Of toma-
toes which show absolutely no sign Of
blight or of black rot. although his
neighbors, several Of them within a
distance Of a quarter Of a mile, are
having losses from these diseases.
This method as described by Mr..
Des Rocher follows: First, when the
ground is well prepared. a light soil
by preference, furrow is run several
inches deep and a mixture of cotton
seed meal and acid phosphate is ap-
piled, the meal forming the greater
part of the mixture in order to insure
a higher content Of nitrogen In this
furrow the young plants are set out
deep down, so that only the growing
bud appears above the surface. When
Oxford eagle., 1918-08-08

the plants average in height about 8
inches he bars off with a small turn
ing plow and makes another applica-
ton of the fertilizer mixture. He re-
peats this performance at a greater
distance from the plants at intervals
of about two weeks, making the last
application when the first tomatoes
are about the size of hen eggs. With
each application the amount Of meal
in the mixture is reduced and the pro-
portion of phosphate increased until
r. the last application the latter far
predominates. OF course, the plants
are constantly and carefully cultivat-
ed.
Mr.. Des Rocher draws the inference
that the frequent feeding of the
plants stimulates their growth and
increases their ability TO Withstand
disease. As testimonial of his sue
cess he exhibits heaps of unsorted
fruit just piced, not one of which
shows black rot or other signs Of inn
perfection.

she seeks to marry Rosa to the rich Don

The Spanish DoubIoon.

On the whole, Pancho Cueto's plans
had worked smoothly. After denounc-
ing the Varona twins as traitors he had
managed to have himself. appointed
trustee for the crown for all their
properties, contamination for which he
had worked from the moment he read
that letter of Esteban's on the morn
ing after Donna Isabel's death. That
there was a treasure Cueto had never
doubted, and, once the place was his
to do with as he chose, he began his
search.
Commencing at the lower edge of the
grounds, he ripped them up with a Sc.
ries of deep trenches and %cross-cuts.
1t was a task that required the labor
Of many men for several weeks, and
when it vas finished there was scarce

finding nothing, but he was not dis
couraged. Next he tore down the old
slave b%arracoOns and the Outbuildings,
after which he completely wrecked the
residence itself. He pulled it apart bit
by bit, brick by brick. He ever dug up
its foundations, but without the reward
Of % much as a single peseta. Fl.
nally, when the villa was but q heap
Of rubbish and the grounds a scar

But Cueto was now q man with q

his contempt for the boy and girl he
had wronged soured into hatred. In
