Over 100000 Alaska Reindeer;
Their Meat will Be Marketed

Sixty tons Of dressed reindeer meat
were recently marketed in the States.
This meat is quite tender and, although
1t has the taste of wild game, it is as
good as beef. says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The reindeer weighs, en- an
average, about $50 pounds. dressed.
Carl AlbertsOn of Nome estimates that
there are over 100000 reindeer in
Alaska and that herds aggregating
$4,000 have been purchased and will be
marketed.
The government imports reindeer
from Siberia. OF the large herds now
In the territory, some 1000 are owned
by natives, representing money value
pf approximately $1,60O.O00.
The reindeer live on Hchens which
would otherwise be valueless, and
there are no expenses attached to their
maintenance beyond the labor of herd
ing and the cost Of shel.ering and
butchering.

Wireless Vastly Improved;
Great Progress Is Made in
Sending Aircraft Messages.

The efficiency of wireless telegraphy
.ias been enormously increased during
the war, semiofficial statement is
sued by the British air force says. In
particular great progress has been
made in sending wireless messages
from aircraft.
In 1914 various difficulties restricted
the use of wireless in conjunction with
airplanes. Most Of these have been
overcome and the use of wireless COM
mUDicatiOnS from the air has been Of
great assistance to the allied forces in
Rll military operations.
Without the assistance Of wireless
the use Of airplanes could never have
been developed so fully as it now is.
"Artillery observation" by airplane is
emong the most profitable Of all the
uses of aircraft.
The extended range Of aircraft wire
less leads to its use from airplanes on
long reconnaissance, and the operator

In Less Than Five nonths
Hog Island, Worlds Largest
Shipyard, Was Half Completed

A year or so ago Hog island was a
dismal morass Of mud, stagnant wa
ter and tangled weeds. Not many
months ago it was national scandal.
Today, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, 1t is the worlds greatest ship
yard. Labeled "phantasmagoria Of
patriotic pretense". in the halls of con-
gress, 1t became in the poisoned pub
lie mind, a national cancer fed by
greed and corruption. Thus did Ger
man propaganda, their tools and pup
pets, for time hinder the growth
Of one Of the most powerful enemies
Of the Huns U-boats.
In wartime, day or an hour may
shape a nations destiny. The build
ers at Hog island have realized this.
Speed has been the watchword. Moth
Ing but world crisis could have pro-
duced in a few short months a single
shipydrd with a capacity one-fourth
as great as the combined capacity Of
all the shipyards in Great Britain
until now the foremost shipbuilding
nation Of the world.
From the moment the first shovel
of earth was excavated, Septem-
ber %, 1917, until the present time,
work has progressed in almost magic
manner. In binding snowstorms and
in the teeth of zero winds, men thaw-
ed frozen ground with live steam and
drove tens of thousands of wooden
and concrete piles. They laid maze
of railway tracks, built piers, erected
forest Of towers, constructed mas
sive shops and supply depots, and
in less than five months had the
worlds largest shipyard half COM
rIeted and the keel Of the first ship
laid!
Hog island has training schools
where unskilled men and boys are
given intensive instruction and in q
few days or weeks made valuable
workmen. It has it's own hospitals,
its recreation fields and buildings. It
operates restaurants that serve thou
sands of meals daily without profit.
II has an armed guard Of 600 men,
and large, well-trained fire depart
rnent. - 1t goes in for welfare work.
In short, it is complete city with
out an unemployed man within its
confines.
Merchantmen aggregating 100000
tons are now flying the American flag.
Think, then, what it means for the
Hog island shipyard to turn out be-
tween now and the close of 1919, ships
totaling approximately 100000 tons.

Consumption Of Oranges Is
Increased by Juice Stands.

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the thou
sands Of orange juice stands that have
sprung up throughout the United
States in the last year, the Fruit World
says: "The worldwide shortage Of
sugar, estimated at approximately g.
100000 tons annually since the war
began, has caused the restriction Of
sugar consumption in the manufacture
Of many Of the popular drinks. This
has increased the consumption Of or
anges this year and has created a
greater market activity in spite of the
abnormally high prices caused by the
crop shortage following the heat wave
one year ago last June. And so the or
ange drink stands have alleviated the
demand on the sugar supply but also
have increased the demands on short
ened orange crop"

Dehydration Plant Has a

All potatoes for the United States

flour making. 1t has possible ca
pacity Of a ton of very fine potato
flour per hour.
Previous to the war, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, this country inn
ported 100000 pounds Of potato
flour and meal each year, principally
from Germany and Holland. There
will be no more "Made In Germany
potato flour in America for many
years to come. This opens up a man
ufacturing industry for American po-
tato growers. The slogan of the PO-
tato Association of America is for q
billion bushels Of potatoes in 1919.
The forecast of the bureau Of crop
estimates indicated for the United
States this year 384. $4,000 bushels.
The yield in the United States for 1917
was 443.O00.O00 bushels.
If potato flour in the United States
only replaced 1 per cent Of the wheat
flour, it would take 32,45O carloads Of
loatoes to furnish this supply. In
stead Of 1 per cent, why not furnish
10 per cent Of the potato flour sub
stitute for wheat?
A large amount of potato starch is
used In the textile industry.

How to Help Win the War BY
Conserving Coal

Before fixing the fire look at the
temperature of the house and the
weather probabilities and be govern
ed accordingly.
Keep fuel bed moderately thick. Ex-
cept in emergency, do not check fire
by opening fire door. While this causes
the fire to burn at slower rate the
larger quantity Of cold air passing over
the fire chills the heater and carries
the heat up the chimney. Avoid over
heating by regulation of dampers.
Never leave drafts on full except
when absolutely necessary and then
only for short time.
In mild weather do not shake oil the
ashes off the crate, but leave layer
of ashes between the crate and the
active fuel bed as an effective check on
tho draft
/, Keep the SCOT cleaned off from all
heating surfaces and fues.
Close the ash pit door when you
shake the fire. This prevents the fine
ashes from being carried up through
the fire by the draft and settling on
the heating surfaces and clOgging the
flues.
Do not shake down burning coal.
Keep the ash pit cleaned out. A pile
of ashes in the ash pit may result in
burning out the crate.
Sift your ashes if there Is unburned
coal in them, But well-run furnace
should burn the coal completely.

Hand Organs Here Again;
Stirring War Tunes Are
Favorites With PLAYERS

T note with mingled feeling the re-
turn of the hand organ in our Streets"
said an observer in the New York
Times, "and I think that the coming
back Of this 'umpty-umptys' musicless
disturber of serenity can also be laid
to the war. At any rate, it's only war
songs and ballads they grind out.
"About six years ago the streets
used to be full of these hand organs.
Sometimes the organists would play
The instruments full capacity Of six
rolls-the Marseillaise' always being
one of them-and then again, If coins
failed to be thrown, you'd get, perhaps,
only. a bit Of one tune. I always
thought the owners Of the hand organs
used to keep tab on houses where they
usually got something, and pass the
word to the fraternity, because I've
known six organs to begin 'umpty-
umping' before the same house in an
afternoon.
'"The piano bought on the instalment
plan, however, which put music into
everyone's reach, and the arrival in
inexpensive form Of the phonograph,
proved too much for the hand organ
lists, and for the last five years they
have been in retirement. Where they
went and what they did in their re-
tirement is not so interesting to me as
to where they stored their hand or
gans. I fancy, though, that many Null
berry street or Carmine street cellars
could have disclosed much on the sub
ject. .....
POSSIBLY the war also has had some
thing to do with the changed dress of
the women proprietors. I remember
that they were remarkable for gaudy
colors, rainbow scarfs and vivid hand
kerchiefs. The returning ones, how
ever, are more sober in rafment, most
OF them running to severe black.
There is nothing subdued in the music,
though, for the hand organs are all for
the stirring tunes of the army. In
cidentally, I've noticed that whenev-
er the war music IS started in front
Of a house where a service flag flies,
the street musicians are seldom unre-
v7arded."

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER


The laying hens must be kept busy
and exercise Is absolutely necessary
and one way to provide this exercise
Is to have litter on the poultry house
floor. Poultry are organisms Of very
active nature and require a great deal
of exercise.
The best way to supply this exer-
else to fowls that are in rather re-
stricted quarters is to feed whole or
cracked grains in a litter of straw,
leaves or other similar material, from
which they can get it only by working
for 1t.
This litter Of whatever nature it is
must be renewed from time to time
as it will soon become fouled with the
droppings and the litter will become
so heavy by this filth and dust that
it will be difficult for the fowls to
work 1t over readily. .
Straw containing large. amounts of
chaff is good; 1t contains more or less
weed seeds and sometimes little
wheat. 1t is wonderful to see how the
fowls will work this over time after
time. / 5s..y.
1t Is good plan to hang up few
sheaves of oats or wheat in the poul-
try house and allow the hens to thresh
this out. They will work very hard
and long to get the last grain of wheat
or oats. .a.,
Some farmers have the erroneous
idea that because hen can get by on
a ration Of corn alone that she ought
to lay few eggs.

American Language Is Very
Rich in Words and Phrases;
Slang Ad6Ated by British

The American language, as distin-
guished from that of England, is rich
in words and phrases for the most
part terse and expressive and that are
racy of the soil. Not without cause,
notes the New York Herald, has our
slang become so famous that our Brit
ish cousins have not been ashamed to
welcome it to their more carefully
guarded preserves Of English speech.
The academic mind contributes moth
ing to this gradual development of the
language. 1t is from the lower orders
OF society that slang is derived. Many
Of the phrases long since incorporate
ed in the mother tongue came from
the gaming table, the race track and
even the underworld of crime, and it is
interesting to trace them to their
source. The word "dope" and its deri-
vations, now in common use, sprang
from the opium Joint.
Nicknames, which are a species of
slang, are thrown in helter-skelter
fashion at our public men, but it is
only when apt in their characteriza-
ton that they stick. The crown prince
of Germany has been called many
names, for the most part uncompli-
mentary, but it remained for a col
ored soldier to fasten upon him name
that will not rub off-"Mister Rat
face" Not only in features but in
character does this heir to dishon-
ored throne resemble the rodent, and
he is held in equal detestation. But
he is lacking the rats single noble
quality-he will not fight when driven
into q corner.
