SHEEP AID FARM LABOR
prepared by the q. 8. Department
IT, Of Agriculture.) -


The extra labor required to
keep weeds under control is prob ].
ably the greatest economic loss
which they cause. Labor is too :
much needed for other lines Of
farm work and should not be
used in fighting weeds If they
can be eradicated( In any other
way. Yet weeds must be con-
trolled If maximum crop yields
are to be secured. In this re- ,
spect sheep can aid in the farm
labor problem. They will eat
most weeds, and on any farm
will greatly reduce the amount /,
of hand labor needed to hold
weeds in check in pastures and
grain fields. Keep sheep and ar
range your farm so they can
, help in the fight with weeds.

Will the Saloon Come Back?

Now that Alaska has gone
dry will liquor establishments
ever come back? Liquor men
in Seward are divided in opin-
ion but it is almost safe to pre-
diet that the day of the saloon
has gone for good. As one
prominent liquor man said, of
liquor comes back the produc-
ton will be sold over a counter,
not a bar. Liquor will be sold
the same as any commodity in
other business. The product
will be in bottles and sold but
the day of the individual drink
has gone. If the liquor bust
ness is re-established the gov
eminent will exercise its con-
troll exclusively
The logic sounds good and
may be correct.-Seward Gate

Earning So a Day at School.

The American people like to
see things put down in plain
figures, and where possible be
reduced to a dollars and cents
basis. .'.. .~..,,...-y....r,:...s
The United States bureau Of
education has figured out
whether or not schooling pays
and how much it pays It's con-
DIVISIONS arc plain and can be
understood by all. The figures
should convince every parent
that it pavs in money to make
any sacrifice to keep a boy or
girl in school until the high
school course is finished.
An uneducated laborer III
nation earns an average of but
$500 a year in normal times.
He is ont of employment so
much that his total wage
reaches that small amount. If
he works for 40 years he will
earn $4,000.
Contrasted with that. high
school or" duates earn 1000 a
year, or $4,000 in 40 wears.
To earn this additional $780,
5000 It IS necessary that a boy
go to school II years. Count
inc 1eN davs in school to the
year he attends 2,160 days in
that time.
For those 2,160 days he re-
ceives paw in later life at the
rate of 1902 a day. That is the
FIGURE when the number of
DAYS he attends school is di-
vided into the $4,000 that he
earns during his life above the
wa"e of the uneducated man.
Therefore, the bulletin is cor
rect in saying that no parent
is justified in keeping his child
out of school unless the child
can obtain employment at the
rate Of 1902 a day.

Tacoma maintains night
schools where persons can OBJ
tain additional education after
reaching maturity and while
following their regular employ
ment.
More will attend the night
schools if they will consider the
figures given in the bulletin
taken from an exhaustive
study of the night schools in
Newark, N. J.
At the age of 20 those who
had attended night schools
were earning $40 week, while
those who had not attended, in
the same lines, received but
$3.50 a week. This ratio CON
tinues more and more in favor
of the night school graduates
until at the age of DO in many
lines they earn twice the wage
of those who are content to go
along in their rut without try
ing to improve themselves at
the evening schools open in
most cities.-Tacoma News.

Sustenance for Gloom Seekers.

For those Of our readers
whose natural element is gloom
and who are never so miserable
as when they find nothing to
be miserable over, we desire to
suggest some of the dire things
that are likely to result if Ger
many wins the war.
Without dwelling on such
matters as huge indemnities,
shoS tagessrom alpang our lead
ing officIafs and scenes divide
devastation resulting from a
German invasion of this coun-
try, we will turn to the somber
picture Of thai dark day when
German kultur has spread it
self like a blanket of night over
this blithe land.
That is the German aim. if
Germany wins, kulture will one
day be ours.
Read the extract from a Ger
man newspaper that is repro
duced in conquest and Kul-
ture," an authentic book set
ting forth German aims and is
sued by the United States gov
eminent:
"In a hundred years the Am
erican people will be conquered
by the victorious German spir-
it. so that it will present an en-
ormous German empire. Who
ever does not believe this lacks
confidence in the strength of
the German spirit.'
And in that somber day
those who do not embrace Ger
man kultur with a neat kiss on
the wrist will be sent to dark
est Africa to find refuge and
to spend the remainder Of their
miserable lives wishing they
, lived in the all-embracing sha-
dow of the kaiser's greatness.
On page 100 of conquest
and Kulture" there is a rich
meal for all our little gloom
hunters. Let them read this
from a German leader and be
detected for a week:
"Not only North America
but the whole of America must
become a bulwark of Germanic
Kultur, perhaps the strongest
fortress Of the Germanic races.
That is everyone's hope who
i has freed himself from his own
local European pride and who
place the race feeling above
his love for home. Also South
America must and can easily
become a habitation for Ger
{ rsan or Gcrmanoid races!

A HARMFUL REPORT,

While the government is
considering idle and pernicious
reports that are given circula-
ton with the result that people
lose some Of their faith in the
conduct of the war, it might be
appropos to take up the speech
Of Congressman Miller Of Seat
tie, delivered in Washington,
D. G.
Congressman Miller said in
this speech that he had discov-
cred snobbery among the Unit
ed States officers in France.
He said he discovered that en-
listed men were made to do
mental tasks against their
wills, and that they felt like
servants as a result of having
to wait upon their officers.
There are snobs among the
officers of the army, for the
simple reason that snobbery is
occasionally found in every
class Of people.
But we do not believe that
the officers in France as a class
are snObs.
We do not believe that they
are acting as though they are
better then the men who are
under them.
w do not believe that the
soldiers deem themselves in the
the positions of servants and
menials.
And we do believe that Con

Proper Foundation

Preliminary survey work in cOnnec-
ton with the proposed new wharf at
Hilo has revealed that the location
tentatively approved by the board of
harbor commissioners for the pier
probably cannot be used, as the Dor
mgs made have not brought to light
any suitable base on which to rest
foundations. Hard coral, soft coral,
coral rock, hard packed sand, fine
sand, black sand and mud are oil that
have been discovered from the borings,
with the result that another location
for the wharf may have to be selected.
Some months ago territorial bonds
in the sum of $4,000 we're sold to get
funds to proceed with the preliminary
work ON the wharf The original ap-
preparation for it, granted by the leg

$l50,OrO and this was increased to
$50 600 at the recent special session.
