SOME WICK SINS OF OMISSION.

While Judge Wickersham has attempted to fasten Ia sin of omission against Delegate Sulzer for being absent when coastwise shipping bill passed la bill that as law did not effect Alaska in the slightest degree, he has failed to make mention of two glaring instances where Alaska eemnated from the provision of statutes that became such dur ing his years at Washington which have been injur- ious to Alaska
 We refer to the Smith-Hughes vocational edu- cational bill and the Farm Loans Act. Neither of these beneficial laws apply to Alaska and both were passed while Alaska represented at Washington by Judge Wickersham. Under the Smith-Hughes act Alaska would be getting something like $30,0OO a year for vocational educational work in Alaska if the law applicable to this Territory If the Farm Loans Act applicable to Alaska farm owners here would be able to borrow money as farm in sthe States able to do, at a low interest rate
 Delegate Sulzer has made substantial progress in his endeavors to get legislation that will make both of these laws apply to Alaska.
 Will Judge Wckersham explain why he permitted these to be passed and Alaska denied their benefits?

HERE'S GOOD ADVICE
TO FARMINGTON MERCHANTS

Cash and carry" is advocated in
marketing bread by the United States
Food Administration and the Mis-
souri, division goes further in recon-
mending it for all procery and food
products.
Zone Of the most expensive parts
of the system of marketing employed
by grocers and other dealers in food
stuffs is that of the delivery" state
ment from the administration de-
clares. "If it is possible all goods
should be carried home by the pur-
chaser. Many grocers have inaugu-
rated system of charging cents
for each delivery and this is just
charge providing the prices to the
cash and carry" customer are re-
duced. Anyone who carries home
their goods is entitled to less than the
highest prices"
In recommendation to bakers the
following statement has been made:
"The United States Food Admin
istrator, believing that frequent de-
liveries are uneconJmical and tend to
enhance prices, urges all bakers to
reduce deliveries wherever possible to
one day over each route, and to con-
solidate deliveries or zone their terri
tories in order to reduce the expense
of deliveries as far as possible"
