It would hardly seem probable to a person in An chorage that the principal topic of conversations Ill the good sized town out the line is about grain, harvesting farm and farming and yet that is just the case up Matanuska.
 From the town you on the nearby highland fields of grain that already rpenng and it is safe say the grain out that way is far advanced as it in Manitoba, Alberta Saskatchwan. Nor is the grain there confined to the one big early crop barley. You will find fields of barley that should be harvested this coming week. but there are also fields of wheat oats and rye, besides experimen tai of other kinds of grain such and buck wheat All of the crops that properly seeded looking splendid and while the growth is not nearly rank it in other when the rainfall greater, the grain to stand Up better and is better filled.

Besides the grain farming which is his principal oDJect' Supt hader has also done considerable ex- permentation with nursery and this all seems to be doing very well.
 Considering the fact that this Government farm had to be carved out of virtual wilderness since little over year ago, the showing that has been made is really very good, and with ample appropriations for help stock and the like, the Matanuska experimental farm will prove to be of greatest factors in the opening up of this section of country

THE MEANING OF THE VICTORY.

If the war two years younger the ter mans might very well argue that the successes at tained by the Allied troops between Soissons and Rheims and in Somme- -Picardy region are immateral They could show that what has been regained by the Allies is small compared with what they have lost They could point to their intact line and the presence large bodies of troops ready to strike al most anywhere from Switzerland to the sea as proof that they could their drive when and where they pleased choosing to take the defensive that they could await the next blow with serenity.
 But the is four year old, and, according to the claims of the Germans themselves. they were never in better situation to strike final blow against the line in France than they last spring This gain in relative strength they attributed the downfall of Russia and the consequent release of vast army and materials.
 All of this admitted, but the Allies pointed out the fact that the Russian downfall brought German strength to "a point that eit could never reach again in this war. point had been reached from which German stpragth must begin to decline, that the only victory that Germany hope to gain is early victory. Every for Germany betters the chance that the Allies will have more winter in which to gain strength from America, while the German armes are being down and German reservoirs of power run empty.
 The importance of the Allied just gained is to be measured by this situation and by towns captured or miles gained. It is the beginning of the end.

 BRITAIN TOLD ABOUT

LONDON, Aug. 16.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press) The work of the American Red Cross in Great Britain comprises more than twenty departments. Virtually all of the several thousand American women who were residents of Great Britain before the war, many of them, of course, wives of English men, are engaged in Red Cross work of some kind under depart ments of the American Red Cross, and they have also the assistance of many Englishwomen whose Ameri- can connections or former residence on the other side of the Atlantic give them a peculiar interest and affection for things American.

FIGHTING GERMANY IN SIBERIA.

message received in Washington by Pro1 Sasayrk president of the Czecho Slovak National Coun ci throws a clear light on the reason why his countrymen touring Siberia their way to France decided stop and do little fighting the way.
 It appears that when they took Vladvostok they captured a number of prisoners, of whom were Germans and Magyars, who operating under the colors of the Russian Red Guard. Why should the enemies of Germany cross two and continent to fight nation which had armed force confronting them?
 It appears that what there is left of Boshevk rule in Siberia is really German and that the people in that vast region sick of Red Guard dom- inaion. When recalls the manner in which the Bolshevik opened the doors of the prisons and turned hardened criminals loose in Siberia to glut themselves with loot, the welcome received by the Czecho-Slokaks is easy to understand and the will ingness explained by the part which released German and Austrian prisoners have taken in upholding the Boshevki.

 Clarence Berry, the old Eldorado king, who has been visiting his mining properties in the Circle district, returned to Dawson this morn mig, and left this afternoon for the coast. He reported today having received a telegram from the coast stating that the agitation for aid for the gold mining industry had resulted in the American government deciding that equipment for such mining necessary and to give it pref erence. This means, MT. Berry says, that the gold miner will be permitted to secure the ma terial necessary for carrying on his industry This means good deal as in many industries the Government has been in the practice of communicating or seizing any machinery it de- sired, regardless Of what purpose or for whom it was ordered Mr. Berry today said:
 This arrangement to that the gold min- CT be allowed the material required is quite help, and without it would be much embar- rassed, but there might be good deal more done to assist the gold miner this time I am glad to see that the Alaskans are moving in the matter and that the American government IS endeayoring to solve the problem. The inter- est manifested by the federal officials is en- couraglng. Dawson, being vtally interested in soid mining might take up the matter with advantage with the Canadian government

 As a general thing, time is not valuable to the person who carries a dollar watch.
 Our guess is that when widower is courting a widow he talks more about the earnings than his yearn ings.
 As a general thing, the reason mans vest wears longer than his trousers is because he doesn't sit on it.
 And our guess is that if it were true that love makes the world go round it would revolutionize things.
