 NORTH IN FRANCE

Seattle Pi-I.-"Alaska boys in France, in the army cantonments and in the navy are the most effect i've press agents the North has ever known" states J. L. McPherson, manager of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club. "A few days ago We received a letter from an Alaskan lieutenant of engineers who Is in France stating that he had been boosting Alaska to a bunch at mess, and that he had told them of the Hsines, Alaska, strawberries, eight of which would fill a quart measure, and celery that grew six feet tall, We advised him that he was absolutely correct in his state ment concerning the strawberries, but that he hal prboably confused celery with rhubarb. which has a most luxurious growth in the Skag- way section, where it attains a height of from four to six feet.
 T want a homesteat where I can do a litle hunting, fishing and trapping, Is typical of the requests for information on Alaska received from the boys in France, showing that their life in the open has in- stilled in them a desire to become pioneers, to lead life of adventure From the training camps through out the states, from Honolulu, from the high seas and from France the men in the service are writing for information on Alaska.
 What are the farming and min ing. bomesteading, fishing and trap pins and general opportunities in the Northland?' are the questions representing majority of the in- Quiries. Numbers of men state their

HE WAS GLAD.


An aching tooth Is not the best friend in the world, and this fact was demonstrated by country justice of the peace when, suffering with the trouble, he was called upon to unite a rural couple in marriage.
 The justices irritabillty was not les sened any when the prospective hus' band informed him that he would not be expected in this case to kiss the bride. .. .r
 "Thank yOu," snapped the justice, "Under those circumstances 1 shall charge you only One-half the usual fee"

HIS FATHERS SWORD.

The village concert was in progress and, although all the local talent was mustered, little Johnny, the squlre's son and heir, was bored, badly bored.
 His mother grew quite anxious about him, but when a small girl started pip ing "The Minstrel Boy" and reached the line: His fathers sword he has girded on," Johnny fairly pricked up his ears in excxitement.
 You like this, JOhnny?" said his fond mother. Tt is"

MANY ALASKANS ARE
 VISITING SEATTLE

Ira II. King, proprietor of the Stedman Hotel at Ketchikan, who is stopping at the Calhoun, says to The Seattle Times that there are more Alaskans in Seattle now than ever before. The southward migra- ion started early in the fall and is still in progress.
 'The large number of Alaskans here is due to the fact that the miners have been relieved this year by the government from the necessi- ty for development work on their property" said King. There were close to 5000 persons at Anchor age and many of these went South. Many of the younger men came to Seattle to enlist in the army or navy"
 He said that the people of Alas ka are patriotic through and through and that they will back up che government to the finish. King will stay in Seattle three or four weeks. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter.

DAYLIGHT OR COAL LIGHT.

The dearth of coal has made the daylight saving bill emergency legislation. Congressmen anu others who a year ago dismissed the fad discover that it would have made possible estimated saving of 100000 of coal during the year and that it would have reduced the coun- trys lighting bills from $25000000 to $50000,000.
 In consequence Speaker Clark. Majority Leader Kit chin and Chairman Sims of the House com mittee have pledged their support to the bill which passed the Senate last June. the proposal becomes law the country will daylight and less tifcial illumination.

A Chemists Service.

A few days ago a visitor at the Min
cola aviation camp asked a skilled air
chauffeur what were his most trying
experiences when two or three thou
sand feet aloft. He said the worst
was the numbing effect of the cold,
high wind, combined often with rain.
No equipment has yet been perfected
whereby an aviator under these con-
ditions can protect himself. A be-
numbed aviator reduces the efficiency
of an airplane so per cent or more.
This aviator was informed that the
chemists had solved the problem of a
garment that will keep rain out, that
will maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture of the body and protect from
piercing wind. A distinguished chem
ist in the service of a large industrial
corporation was asked if he could per-
feet a formula for cotton cloth that
would furnish a garment practically in
d~estructible, not cracking, as rubber
does in high attitudes, and that would
keep out cold and rain. He worked
out a cloth which is the delight of
those aviators now using it. 1t can be
manufactured at very little cost. .

"FittestD Under Arctic Circle.

We think of Greenland as a frozen
and desolate land, fit only for the
abode of the hardy Eskimos. And yet
in Finland, in a severe northern eli
mate, has grown up a hardy and virile
race, Nevin o. Winter writes in the
Christian Herald. Perhaps it was be-
cause only the sturdiest could survive
under such conditions, for isolation
bred s~elf-reliance and industry was ne
cessary to existence. At any rate, the
fact remains that the Firms have de-
veloped a civilization that is unique
and of interest. 1t is not surprising,
to one familiar with the Films and
their history, to know that a republic
has been proclaimed. No people are
more truly democratic. Under the au-
tocratic rule of the Ears Finland main
tanned her democratic institutions, and
it was the only part of Russia where
the traveller was free to move about
without having q demand made almost
daily for his passport. The Russian
calendar, which is thirteen days be-
hind our own, was ignored and in ev-
cry way the public and social customs
differed from those of the Russians
