PHOTOGRAPHERS
 MAKE GOOD MONEY.
 NEAR FIGHT FRONT

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, Jan. 11.-One of the flourishing trades in the little towns and villages behind the lines in France is the photographers. The soldier has universal fondness for having his picture taken.
 With the British Tommy. the visit to the village camera man is a regular event of the greatest i'm portance. and requires great prepara- tions. He borrows the best pair 0 puttees in his section, or, better still, pair of field-service boots, brushes his clothes with great care, cleans his belt and bandolier, and polishes his buttons.
 If he belongs to mounted corps, his spurs and cutting whip will make great display, for although every body agrees that in this war the in fantry is the most important branch. there is still glamor attaching to the mounted man, even if his mount be only cart horse of a mule. Equestrian traits are much in de mand, it is said. by the girls at home.
 As often as not, Tommy gets pho. tographed in group with four or live men from his section. For one thing, this is cheaper For another, 1t supplies testimonial of the good company he keeps. and of the fine fellows that his section-always the finest in the army"-is composed of

 a Considerable
 Sum.
ESCHEW ALL WITCHERY

The Natives of Southeastern Alaska are making remark able development socially, in- dustrially and in morality As time goes 1t was but yes terday that they were rec ognized as the most implac- able foe towards all whites and practiced witchcraft and held slaves and were bound by rigid tribal relations. In no other part of Alaska have the Indians been so warlike and more bitterly opposed to the enrochments of the white man. Today it is difficult to find Native who cannot read or write and speak English. Not a few of them are well educated and own property. Most of the villages now have elf-government and local so- cieties for self-improvement. The Natives have subscribed liberally toward the Red Cross and war measures. The lat est place to come under the selfgoverning plan is Angoon.

The Native residents of the city of Angoon, near Killisnoo, recently, acting under the Territorial law, organized self government for their village and are now governed by their mayor, city council, city DO lice force and city magistrate Taxes were levied and collected and the city treasury has a substantial balance on hand, while several or dinances were passed and are being lived up to.
 The Natives assembled all agreed to taboo the subject of witchcraft Believing that the white men are right, and that witchcraft is bad medicine, the natives have all agreed not to mention the subject publicly, privately, or i'll any other way, and especially to keep any of the teach ings and beliefs away from the younger generation.

IRON COUNTY GARDENS.

Iron county is to do its share this
year in raising food for home con-
sumption, TO help the people OF the
county to feed themselves, so that
transportation will not be needed to
bring IL in from the outside. The
farmers are doing their best TO increase
their crops, and especially the wheat
crop, and those in town will put their
best efforts into their war gardens.
The county is fortunate this year in
having men In all the towns whose
business it will be this summer TO or
ganize and carry thru the garden
club projects for boys and girls. Work
has already been stated through the
schools to get the clubs organized and
at work. With the encouragement
and cooperation of the parents, we
will have a fine lot OF boy and girl
gardeners doing their part in our
struggle against the Kaiser. Those
who have the time and do not have a
garden must be considered slackers-
soldiers that are not doing their part.
Those in the rural districts who want
clubs organized will have the help of
Mr.. Long, the county agent, and Miss
Bennett, the home demonstration, in
their work, and II help is wanted in
any district, these people should be
notified, and they will do all they can
TO aid in the work. There will be a
gardening and canning club booth at
the county fair this year, where the
summers results will be shown, and
where each club organized can com
pete for prizes. Let's see what clubs
will be the prize ones in the county.
Emphasis is placed this year es-
pecially on the growing OF those veg
etables that can be preserved for
winter use. Canned goods will be
higher I'm price next winter, and now,
when we have the opportunity to get
them for ourselves, we want to do our
best. Miss Bennett, the home demon
strator. will be ready to show how
these vegetables should be canned and
so there will be no excuse for Iron
county not having a well-stocked Gel
lar TO draw on next winter.
Let's all get behind this gardening
work and make IL a big thing in the
county. Old and young can garden,
and every bit or food we grow here
releases so much food that can be
shipped TO our soldiers and Allies
across the water.

HOLD UP RURAL IDEALS.
Summer Course viii Show PedagOgs
How 10 Build Small Communities.

The idea that rural school teachers
can become a big factor in building
up country life and in making IL more
attractive will be made use OF by M.
A G. this summer in a number of
courses which have been designed by
the college for the coaching of peda-
gogues in country life ideals, and in
ways and means of achieving these
ideals According to Prof w. H.
French. head OF the departments OF
agricultural education OF M. A. c.
this work Is being planned in the
belief that IL is Just as essential that
teachers in the country schools be
especially trained TO deal with the
problems they are called upon TO en-
counter, as il is that city teachers be
informed in the subjects OF most i'm
portance in the cities.
Among the special courses for the
rural teachers, il Ia announced. will

THE PATRIOTIC GARDEN.
Are the Boys and Girls Going 10 De
Their Share In the War!

Are you planning garden this
spring. Last year there were some
three million gardens in America,
and II has been estimated that these
gardens produced enough food to have
supplied ninety million people with
food for four months. The vegetable
gardens OF America were a mighty
factor In keeping ahead OF the Ger
man U-boat. We did not send these
vegetables across. but we used them
in the place OF cereals that would be
shipped. This year our food situation
is even more serious. and the demand
for wheat and other cereals is even
greater than before. II we are 10
win over the Germans, we must re-
member the big part that home gar
dening plays In food production, and
plan for bigger, better gardens this
spring.
Ordinarily garden plot 20x40 II.
will supply family OF four or five
with fresh vegetables for the entire
growing season, and IL may even pro-
vide vegetables for canning A larg-
or garden, say 20xlo0 n. IL properly
planted, will grow surplus which,
II canned, dried, and stored, will fur
nish vegetables for every day in the
year. SO II is 10 your advantage To
have a good garden-it will help keep
down your grocery bill.
garden does not require an enor-
nous amount OF work. IL means an
hour OF additional work a day for
those who are patriotic enough to an
swer the gardening call. This work
Is not strenuous; II is wholesome ex-
ercise in the open air. There is a
fascination in planting seeds and
watching them grow which should be
yours this spring
