WHY NOT BOTH?

The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce is getting a good deal of publicity account of a movement started by it in opposition to the extension of the Farm Loan Act to Alaska, and favorng instead, an appropriation for a stock farm in the Matanuska Val ley. It urged by the Anchorage body that there is not yet any need for the Farm Loan Act in Alaska. and that there is great need for an experimental stock farm.
 The passage of the measure for the extension of the Farm Loan Acts provisions to Alaska could not in any interfere with the proposed farm The matters would come before different commit ees Congress and different Departments the Govern ment. There is absolutely conflict between them all
 On the other hand, there is provision in the law that would compel any to take advantage of the Farm Loan Act were it's terms extended to Alaska and if they extended would have the authorization for taking advantage of the law when needed. It usually takes considerable time to get a measure through Congress and the time get it through if possible is before the need for it would be so great that the delay in getting it would harm.

Burbank'S Liberty Wheat

plant which will yield an average OF
fcrty bushels to the acre of grain

Although the wheat crop of the
United States is greater than that off
any other nation, the average Weld TO
the acre has always been cOmpara-
lively small. Some years ago If did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr.. Burbank has
done in the matter of potatoes, aEnIes
and plums, to say nothing of flowers.
as to which he has almost wrought

When poppies flare and lilies smile:

Leaving US but a little while
To dream our dream. to sing our song,
To pick the fruit to pluck the flower,
The Sods-they do not give us long
Our little hour
Our little hOur-hOw short a time
To wage our wars, to fan our hates.
TO take our fill of armOred crime.
To troop our banners. storm the gates
Blood on the sword, our eyes bIood-red.
Blind in our puny reign of power.
DO we forget how soon is sped
Our little hour?
Our little hour-how soon 1t dies:
How short time to tell our beads
To chant our feeble litanies,
To think sweet thoughts, to do good
deeds

The bells hang silent in the tower
So passes with the dying hymn

Produce Food, Mr..
Town Man
Ge4 Blistered and q Clean
Conscience

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Speaking of fOOd-hOw much of
what you eat do you help to produce
by your own work? Farms need labor.
The difficulty is not an insufficiency
of actual man power. There are plenty
of men to supply the farms with help.
But that man power is applied to
other things and the farms will not be
adequately supplied with help unless
men turn temporarily from their pres
ent business or employment and work
on farms In their county during the
rush periods of cultivation and har-
vest.
If we were not ut war you might feel
free to disregard this as your per-
sOnal duty. But we are at war: this
is n war need, and you are not free
to disregard 1t.
1t is the duty of every strong man
of farm experience or of farm apti-
tude, who is not now engaged in work
of war value, and not engaged in work
to which his personal attention is con-
stantly Indispensable, to go to farms
in the agricultural territory adjacent
to his town when farm labor needs are
urgent and help produce the food
crops which are essential to war win
ming.
You eat every day. Some mans
hard work produced that food. Our
soldiers in France must eat and some
bOdy's hard work must produce that
food. If you are so situated that you
can help produce this food it is your
duty to do 50.
Get in touch with the county agent
Of the United States department of
agriculture and the state agricultural
college or write the state agricultural
college if you cannot get in personal
touch with nearby farmers who need
help. Lay of your present job or get
away from your present business for
a few days or a few weeks as you
are needed. You'll lose money and
weight. You'll gain blisters, sore
muscles and a clear conscience.

many towns and cities have begun to

But the idea that superfluous and
unnecessary work is worse than idle
ness does not seem to have made so
much progress. Yet it is patiently
true, writes Frederick J. Haskin, in
Springfield Union. The .fiunky wastes
not only his own time but often also
the time and money of those he serves.
The man who takes job that wOm-
an could hold is not only negIecting the
work he should do, but is depriving
some woman of the independent in
