 "It was q happy suggestion Goye"n or Riggs made" c0n-'nIed Mir. White, when he prop 1sed that the T'u I of Publicity add an M1s,ia CNnrod- ity Interchange to it's cast of char acters' For instance: When I was at Matanuska early in September where I mingled with horny-handed sons of toll, I was informed that, of 1000 tons of potatoes grown by them last year, less than 400 tons were marketed owing to the fact that there was no demand for them. promised to make an effort to in troduce Matanuska potatoes to the Juneau and other Gastineau Channel markets but with indifferent success. However, at Ketchikan, where I dis tributed a sack of sample potatoes, orders were placed amounting to 125 tons of the Matanuskagrown prod uct. The Ketchikan dealers ordered the Matanuska potatoes for two req sons, the first of which was that they were superior to what is being ob- tained from the State of Washington, and the second was that they are loyal to Alaska, other things being equal, and prefer to patronize home industry The Ketchikan merchants who ordered potatoes from Matanus- ka did so after having them served on their own tables in every manner and style in which spuds can be cooked except German fry"
 Now that the war is over MT. White confidently expects the nun Der of letters of inquiry from all over the country to increase to such an extent that a larger force will be necessary to handle the correspond ence of his office

Japanese ToddIe Is New Walk Introduced by the ManneqUins with Re-
 turn of HohbEe.

In a recerc ar-icle on fall fashions in an eastern newspaper several in novations in fall and winter styles are given-and something else, of which, as yet, we know nothing in Juneau, is told of-the Japanese tod dle The Japanese toddle is a walk which has evidently come with the return of the hobble skirt-rather a forced necessity. Just what it is, just how it should be properly ex- ecuted is something which people in Juneau have yet to learn.

WORK OF THE BUREAU
Boosting of Home Products Have Greatly Helped to Attraction Attention
 to the North.

According to E. J. White, chief of the Alaska Bureau of Publicity, our territory is just now on the threshold of a period that will witness the greatest influx of people seen in the north since the palmy days of 70 years ago. In an interview with an Empire representative yesterday MT White said:
 Through judicious advertising in Alaska and outside papers the atten- tion of people all over the American continent is being called to the ad- vantages and resources of this terrl- tory in a manner unknown since the Treasure Ship Portland with car go of one million dollars of Klondike gold made port at Seattle on the 18th of July, 1897.
 "The Bureau of Publicity" con- tinued MT. White, "is receiving an average of 150 letters every month letters of inquiry concerning Alaska and from people who are desirous of coming here to locate permanent ly. In all of these letters there are requests for literature containing in formation about Alaska, her re- sources, her educational facilities and climatic conditions and many other things that people want to know about a country in which they con- template making their homes. Also many letters are received from both young men and young women who desire to come north in quest of DO sitions as clerks, stenographers, book keepers and employment in any hon est and remunerative calling. All these letters are promptly answered and the answers are such as usually result in further inquiry from the writers. If one-fourth of the people whose eyes are now turned toward

SHARKS USEFUL IN
 LOCATING SUBMARINES

ON BOARD AN AMERICAN DE- STROYER IN FRENCH WATERS, Nov. 13.-Sharks and seagulls, the scavengers of the sea have learned to follow in the wake of the sub marines and watch and wait for the food likely to come from the wreck age of merchant vessels destroyed by the German sea wolves. This fact has been observed by the com manders of American destroyers and is used as a clue to hunt down the

and the elimination of the hustle ef- feet.
 "It is quite important that the sil houette has really changed since September. It is really a change that was foreshadowed by those who watched clothes from the beginning of last March No one should protest at this agreeable change from the silhouette of the planked shad for it carries grace with it.
 This loosening up of the hips is a return to the skirt of a nearby sea- son and a far-off epoch. It is not adhered to in a strict manner. Re- member that. If you want that plump line from shoulder to knees, have it; but you will find that unless you adopt the straight, chemise tunic of the French frocks, you will prefer more width at your hips than at your knees. It is one of the subtle changes in clothes that has caused women to stop think and renovate.
 "The entrance of the hobble skirt plus the Japanese toddle, which has already become the walk of the moment among the mannequins, is alniost enough to take woman's s mind away from war work. These are strange twins of fashion to be born in this autumn of 1918; but women will overcome the handicap adopt both of them, and become i'm mensely well pleased with them selves before Thanksgiving Day ar rives.'

Object of the Trip.
The object of trips such as was put
on today, is thus outlined by the live
wires responsible for it being:
1.-The trade excursion is no novelty.
For years business men from live
towns have been visiting neighborlnS
communities, getting acquainted with
their neighbors and talking of their
own community. They have preached
the doctrine of loyalty,-loyalty to
your country and to your home city.
"OskaIoosa is proud of her achieve
ments and she is taking this means oil
spreading the gospel of loyalty TO
home institutions. In the past year
two of these trips have been taken III
other directions, and there is every
reason to believe they We're success

standpoint.
"The business men who are respon
sible for this trip are not striving To
bring trade TO Oskaloosa at the ex
pense of any other town, but they are
preaching the doctrine of loyalty tc
Iowa and their home community II
general.
| "Oskaloosa has many things to bt
proud of In the first place it is towr
of beautiful homes and contented PEG

particularly worthy of note. But more
than that it is city of busy people

denced by the crowds of patrons which

Des Moines, July 1O.--Ways and
means to induce the farmers to build
Silos this year to save feed and pro
mote the raising of stock were dis
cussed at a conference of silo men
held at the state house Tuesday af-
ternoon.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the movement to build silos is
meeting with approval among farm
ers and others interested in conser-
walton. 1t was said that the bank
ers of Iowa are particularly interest
ed, offering to finance any farmer who
is DESTROYS of putting up silo.
The difficulty of obtaining mater
ials for the building of silos, owing to
transportation difficulties, was touch
ed upon. BY reason of the. fact that
the campaign for the building of silos
was launched by and has the indorse-
ment of the state council of defense,
who are pushing the project as war
measure, il appears that siloTmaterial

MORE THAN AN HONOR.
It is Also Work To Guard the White
House.

Washington, July 10.-It may be
quite an event in the young life of a
private to be assigned to guard duty
around the White House.
But IL has its disadvantages.
There's this saluting thing.
When an officer passes a soldier on
guard. the private must stop in his
tracks, face his superior. and bring
his rifle to present arms"
OF course that isn't hard work
just now and then.
But when officers from the neigh
boring war department pass almost
in a steady stream, it keeps said pri--
waite busy salnting.
So. guarding the President may be
some honor, but it's also some work,

TIMELY RELIEF FOR VENICE

Italian army headquarters, July s.
Venice's liberation by the expulsion OF
the .AGstro.Hungarian from the delta
of the Piave river was attended by
some of the hardest fighting seen on
the front. The Austrian put up ter
rible resistance and it is estimated
that 10000 officers and men, or 80 per
cent of their effectiyes were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners.
The enemy employed thirty
battalions including some OF the ORR
ent corps, prepared for the purpose of
holding Jerusalem. Ho" serious was

on the hundreds of canals behind the
lagoon district, where every celIarless
hut had been transformed INTO a ma

Desperate Night Attacks.
The Italians had to make night at
lacks, swimming with knife in their
teeth until they surprised and killed
the machine gun defenders. The artil
lery of both sides played night anc
day freely upon every road built in be
tween the canals. ....
The result of the battle gives thu
Italians nearly forty square miles o
