The American Defense Society is sending out literature these days deal ing with the menace to American in stitutions involved in the activities of the German-American Alliance, which recently was the object of congressional investigation. The Ma tional German-American Alliance dis solved while the investigation was in progress, but there are numerous
 state organizations, and it is the breaking mp of these that now occu- pies the attention of the Defense So | ciety. The national body, it says.
 was only a clearing house for the
 state bodies. It is urged that the charters of these various state organ izations be revoked, as has already been done in the state of New York.
 In letter addressed to the governors of the various states the society says:
 "TO the now aroused comprehen. sion of the nation the disintegrating effect on American citizenship of the binding together of immigrants of a particular nationality, whereby race prejudices are intensified and contin. ued, has become startlingly apparent.
 "The German-American Alliance, armed with a special national charter, as it were accredited to the country by congress itself, has been a power ful engine of mischief and of German propaganda.
 The appalling shortcomings of Ger man ideals, founded as they are on the murderous and bloody legends of German mythology, which have dom mated the inspirational development of that country, have been now ex- hibited clearly before our eyes. Any association intended to perpetuats German ideals among the free people Of America is a menace to the life of the Republic.

MAKE A NEW LAW

The instructions of Attorney-Gen- eral Gregory to the federal attorney of this division to stop proceedings fer obtaining an appeal in the so- called eight-hour law case, in which the act was declared unconstitution- al m the United States court of this division, probably closes the matter as far as the government is con- cerned. These instructions are clear indications that the department of justice has found that the decision handed down by Judge Bunnell is well based upon the statutes and is borne out by precedent.
 In view of the fact that Alaska is thus left without any eight-hour law except the one applicable to mining, and that the next legislature will probably be called upon to enact ad- dltlonal eight-hour laws applicable to other industries, it might be we'll for both voters and legislators to review

Draws Lessons from the DrOuth OF
Last Year.


The dry year always comes Some
were prepared for it: some were not.
A few good years, and the bad ones
are forgotten; then suddenly a dry
year catches some of our farmers with
shallow plowed fields. and some which
have been cropped twice with only one
blowing. and no moisture in the sub
soil then the trouble begins, for fac
ing a drouth without any conserved
moisture is like meeting a panic with
out a bank account.
The writer has always advocated
deep blowing and the fallow system
as far as possible, because he has
proved up on it for the last 40 years
on several different dry farms in diff
ferent parts of the states, and so have
many others, and it is acknowledged
by all who avail themselves of these
methods hat misture may be carried
over from year to year until several
feet of moist subsoil may underlie
every field, available to the crops for
their battle with the drouth whenever
it happens to come
Twenty-four years ago there were
two consecutive dry years; they some
times come that way. They knew
very little about dry farming at that
time, and very little of the blowing
was over six inches. The consequence
was, hundreds Of abandoned farms.
