IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH

The passage in both houses of
Congress by practically a unanimous
vote of the new draft bill, demon
|strates beyond all doubt that the
country is in spirit, in body and in
soul with the President in his determ-
|ination to crush Germany and do il
without delay. 1t may be recalled
that when the bill to raise an army
by the draft system was first agitat-
ed, there was much opposition to
that method. Many men, true and
courageous though they were, baked
at the term draft" II sounded too
much like force" and that is what
every American is violently against
But time has shown the wisdom OF
the great man at the helm of the ship
of state, and the finger of pride is
pointed now to an unconquerable
larmy in France, soon to be augment
led by the legions who will be armed
and equipped under the 1915 clause
and who will add laurels and re
lnown to an army that the world will
lacclaim as invincible.
| Congress always feels the pulse
lof the people before it acts on any
great question, and il is right that il
Should do so, as it is the mouthpiec,
lmous vote given President Wilson's

strength, shows every doubtinl

pitiable and shows the futility of be-

that all is vanity and vexation Of

While never an ardent advocate Of
votes for women, the writer has for
a long time seen the trend of public
sentiment TO it and has neither

OF LEASE D|SPROvE PROFIT
 MAKING CHARGE
Alaska Supply Company Would Sustain Actual Loss by Sale of the
 Mann Property.

The charge has been made that the Alaska Supply Company would make a large profit from the sale to the city of the Mann wharf and wharfsite for use in connection with the fisheries industry. compari- son of the lease from William $. Mann, of Chicago, owner of the prop erty, to the Alaska Supply Company disproves this charge.
 The Alaska Supply Company, un- der the proposal made to the city was to get $10,000 for more than half of the Mann property leased by the Company, and it is a water front portion and the wharf. Under the lease the Alaska Supply Company pays $100 a month for the property, and it has an option to purchase it for S12,000 at any time during the life of the lease. Since asquiring it two years ago, the Alaska Supply Company has expended $7,000 in i'm movements, half of which has been expended on that portion of the prop erty it has been proposed the city should purchase. That added to the purchase price of the property makes S19,O0 it will have cost the Alaska Supply Company when it shall have exercised its option to purchase.
 The lease from William B. Mann to the Alaska Supply Company is of record at page 421, Vol. 20, Miscci- laneous Records, Juneau Precinct. Among other things, it provides;
 q. Said leassee shall pay said lessor at the First National Bank, Juneau, Alaska, or to any agent here inbefore designated by the lessor as rent for said premises the sum of s10O per month, beginning August 1st, 1916, and payable thereafter in ad- vance the first day of each month during said term; ;****
 Also the following:
 Tt is further expressly stated and agreed that the lessee shall have the option to purchase said wharf and wharfsite at any time between the day of this lease and July 1otn, 1921, for the sum of $12,0O0; *@~*
 As stated, the Alaska Supply Com pany has offered to present the items of cost and improvements put on this property that amount to S7,O00, one-half of which has been on that portion of the property of fered to the City of Juneau. That would bring the cost of the property to the Alaska Supply Company up to $19,00O It has offered more than half of the property, including l40 feet along the water front and the wharf, for $10000
 Answering the charge that the Al aska Supply Company proposes to re- tain the more valuable portion of the property Henry Shattuck, manager of the company, said today that his company would let the city have the whole property for $17,000. which is $2000 less than cost, and only $7,O0O for the portion it will retain if the proposed sale goes through.

HOW TO GROW LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not be planted until
the ground is thoroughly warmed up, as
they are heat-loving crop and the seed
will rot If planted when the ground IL cold
Most gardeners pre- er the pole varieties,
rs they yield better than the bush VA
rletlcs and are superior 10 the bush va-
r1eties in many other respects One marked
advantage of the pole beans is that they
may be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence rs a support for the vines In this
manner n crop of beans can be secured
with the use of II minimum amount of
spacing.
When planted in rows in the garden.
pole Lima beans are usually planted in
hills three 10 four feet apart and supported
on poles or string and wire trcllis.
The bush Iimns arc usually drilled in
rows some - feet apart for horse Guilt

walton. The Lima beans are full season

the entire growing season, and "A sufficient
amount should be planted 10 provide for
the needs Of tho family for the entire
season. Any surplus not used green may
