TT RESTS WITH THE WOMEN

Our womenfolks, after all, are the real buyers for the family. and it is to them, especially, that this Trade at Home" movement is directed.
 If the average woman could be made to realize that every time she spends a dollar away from home she is taking that dollar away from her husband, father. son or brother. she would keep 1t here.
 Every time a dollar leaves here 1t lessens the chance of our men folks for advancement, possibly an increase in salary; it reduces their earning power.
 Will any women be so thOughtless as to send away money which belongs to her folks; which if kept in Valdez would come back to her time and time again.
 Most women are good, true. loyal citizens of Valdez, working for the city's interests. and helping in every worthy enterprise.
 We are bringing this matter to their attention because we believe they do not realize the gravity of trading at home.
 Let every woman who reads this think the matter over and see if we are not right in our contention that to build up a town you must

By the dedication of the General Schuyler mansion at Albany. N.

The house Is 155 years old having been built in 1762. It's recent dedication by Governor Whitman. marked the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the surrender of Bur go!np at Saratoga. General Schuyler took an active part in the campaign against the invading British army from tn" North. and. at Saratoga. he suf- fcr'ai Il serious loss in the burning of the British of his country home and mills Notwithstanding this, he acted th" part of rEr chivalrUus conquerOr few days later. when he entertained General Burgoyne and his stan, in clu,ling the lIpSsian general.

WAR AND Fl. (. l..

Some enlightening statistics have been issued by the bureau of labor of statistics of the department of lab or regarding the war cost of living. In comparing the cost of various food staples in 1913 and 1917 the report says significantly that mo article de- clined in price," Foodstuffs as a whole advanced an average of 48 per cent during the first three years of war. From November IS, 1914, to the samed ate in 1917 the average in crease was 46 per cent.
 At the risk of seeming to present an uninteresting maze of figures, we quote some of the advances to show how the war has affected the pocket books of the American consumer:
 The retail price of food as a whole showed a decrease of l per cent in November 1917, as compared with the month previous. Of the twenty. seven articles for which prices are re- ported to the bureau of labor statist- ics twelve decreased in price, four remained unchanged. and eleven showed an increase as compared with October. Pork chops decreased II per cent: sirloin and round steak, . per cent each; flour per cent and sugar 2 per cent Onions increased in price IS per cent: lard and butter per cent each; eggs, per cent; potatoes. s per cent; rice, 2 per cent; and meat 1 per cent. Beans, bread. ham and bacon remained the same as in October. /.
 In the year from November 1o. 1916, to November IS. 1917, prices of food as whole advanced 23 per cent. Potatoes is the only article that shows a decline in price. Corn meal advanced S7 per cent; bacon 62 per cent; pork chops. AS per cent; beans, 39 per cent: salmon. 3S per cent; milk, 33 per cent; and lard, 27 per cent.
 During this fOur-year period. from November IS, 1913 to November 15, 1917, corn meal advanced 127 per cent; flour, 109 per cent; lard 1O4 per cent: bacon. 77 per cent; sugar. 75 per cent; and potatoes. 72 per cent.
 Taking November in each of the four years November, 1915, only shows a decline in price of food as a whole when compared with the same month in a preceding year. For November, 1915. the price of food as a whole was the same as in Novem- Der, 1913, and was l per cent lower than in November, 1914.

An unusual venture in representativ, government WAS made by a recent con ference of 100 I.apps in northern Swe den. These delegates represented the whole nomadic people. and their pur pose was to frame a united protest against certain laws affecting their reindeer herds. The Lapps rarely have any settled habitation. moving from place f" place after the herd> and often coming into hostile contacl with the settled Scandinavian farm ers. The law of Sweden requires tn.

THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE

The Solid South" has won anOth- CT victory in congress which still fur ther fortifles it's impregnable battle lines. The triumph came with the ap- pointment of Senator Smith of South Carolina to the chairmanship of the interstate commerce committee of the senate in succession to the late Sem ator Newlands, of Nevada. The selec- tion on the part of the democrat steering committee was unanimous.
 On the surface the appointment seems to mean little. but from the standpoint of politics in the demo- cratic party it appears to have excit- ed an unusually lot of interest. The struggle was between the North and the South. The northern democrats made a fight for Senator Pomerene, of Ohio for the chairmansAip. Pom creme has been in the senate two years longer than Smith. but for some unplanned reason the South Carolin- ian was considered the ranking mem Der by right of seniority, and tech nically he won on this basis.
 Senator Smith is a cotton planter and has made no exhaustive study of interstate commerce affairs, while Senator Pomerene has been student of the question for quarter of a century. This fact was urged by Pom erene's friends in support of his can didacy.
 The old South is practically in con trol of the committee chairmanships in both houses and with such a mon opoly are virtually the dictators of legislation. Recently the resignation of Represent ntative Fitzgerald as head of the appropriations committee in the house resulted in the passins of
