CITY OF QUEER CONTRASTS
Nome, DesoIate In Winter, Is Fever.
lshly Lively During the Short
Months Of Summer.

Ships approa ching the coast Of Alas
ka watch eagerly for the first glimpse
Of break in the low horizon line, and
as the faint silhouette OF city is
caught by the spy glass word goes
round that Nome Is In sight. The
square outlines grow steadily palmer
and broader. Unmindful of the heavy
waves that crash so dangerously near
Its doors the city is reaching out to
the very waters edge to greet the in
coming ship. A bobbing launch comes
out to meet the ship and bring In the
passengers to the shore.
The gold seekers built Nome in the
rush Of 1898, and the gold seekers still
add their quota to It's population. They
have made 1t city Of contrasts-of
Ostentatious wealth and hopeless de-
sires. Where they camped on the
beach and built wooden huts and sa-
looms the city has grown up. When
more space was needed, it spread Its
houses along the beach in long un-
even rows.
From November to June it is frozen
into dull apathy from which 1t
rouses to attend theaters, dances, and
other social frivolities which make
the winter tolerable. Ice bound and
dark the winter may be, with only
three or four hours Of pale sunlight a
day, but the popular idea of the wilds
Of Nome is an interesting myth. Elec-
trio lights, telephones, department
stores, banks, hotels-Nome has all Of
these perquisites of modern civiliza-
ton.
When the sun begins to shine stead
lily and the fresh surf pounds on the
beach, Nome awakes and the summer
residents who have gone "outside" re-
turn. The population is practically
doubled. Nome spends Its summer
months in wildly rushing about to
make up for the enforced dullness of
the frozen winter.

WHAT THE SCOUT PLAN Is.

As a scout the boy willingly adopts
as real and vital the universally &C
copied principles Of life as set forth
in the scout oath and law. This effec-
lively influences the boys nature and
character so as better to prepare him
for that work which the church can
best DO.
A scout promises that upon his
honor he will do his duty to God and
country and obey the scout law; that
he will help other people at all times
and that he will keep himself physical
ly strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
The scout law, covering the twelve
fundamental principles, requires q
scout first Of all to be trustworthy.
That means that he must not tell lie.
cheat or deceive, but keep every trust
sacred. A scout Is loyal to all to whom
loyalty Is due, including his scout lead
er, his home, his parents and his coun-
try. Furthermore, scout is helpful,
prepared at all times to save life, help
injured persons and do at least one
good turn daily.
The boy scout movement BEAUTIFULLY
and sanely offsets the disadvantages
which civilization has caused.
1t tnsures good citizenship.

FRENCH BOY SCOUTS BRAVE.

A letter to Chief Scout Executive
James e. West from Corporal w. F
Bates, Jr., with the American expedi-
tionary forces in France, indicates the
boy scouts the world around are very
much the same:
yesterday while on the road, met
party of French boy scouts with
whom had little chat. They even
shared with me some little biscuits
which they had for lunch.
"Hiking back to their much-bom-
barded town in the rain, they made a
decided impression and very happy
one, for imagined myself back again
for the moment with my own lads of
Troop No. Of OIL City, Pa.
"Some time I hope to take up the
work again, with my boys in Gods
country. Until then it is good to re.
member the happy days 1 have had
back home in camp and on the hike"

MUSICIANS HAVE LONG LIFE
Reasons Why Those Who Furnish Us
With Sweet Sounds Are Not Cut
of In Youth.

Investigations made recently by a
well-known doctor lead him to con-
clude that musicians who play wind
instruments are exceptionally long
lived.
Cornet players are credited by him
with an average life Of 691 years.
Clarinet players are next with GA,
while the average oboe and bassoon
player lives to be about sixty-three
years old. The lowest duration Of life
by these players Of wind instruments
Is in men who handle the flute. Be-
cause of the formation of their instru-
ments, they do not have opportunity
for full exercise of their lungs. There
fore the flute player, according to this
authority, reaches an average age of
61.2 years.
1t Is interesting to observe the num-
Der Of seemingly aged men who are
members Of orchestras. The theater
orchestra that does not number one or
two men who have left their hair far
behind with the years, or are so gray
that they appear well upon the. CEN
fury mark, is an exception. The truth
Is that steady and moderate daily
use Of the lungs, which is called for
by the performance Of professional
duty, is responsible for this remark
ably high average Of existence.

SCOUTS HUNT BLACK WALNUT

In making q census Of black walnut
trees the Boy Scouts Of America have
new task set by the president.
This work will appeal especially to
scouts, not only as an important and
patriotic activity, but also as live.
interesting, outdoor job, which links
itself with many phases Of scouting.
The government needs black walnut.
In fact, black walnut wood is prime
necessity for the prosecution Of our
war program Of guns and aircraft.
At this moment the entire black wal
nut growth Of our forests Is subject to
census classification for war purposes.
In behalf Of the war department, boy
scouts are asked to undertake this
black walnut census.
It Is desired to locate Immediately
all available standing black walnut
timber wherever 1t occurs, isolated or
In small groups as well as in larger
lots.
It Is important that every tree Of
this species be located and placed on
record with details as to it's size and
availability. together with the owners
name and address, and such other data
as is essential In providing the infor-
nation required by the government.
This information data, as collected
by scouts, will be tabulated by the for
est service of the department Of agri-
culture and placed at the disposal Of
the government. The government does
not ask for old black walnut furniture,
but only the timber.

1t is estimated that the wheat crop
in Wisconsin this season will approx
innate 100000 bushels, which is g.
100000 bushels more than was pro-
duced in this state year ago. The
wheat acreage was largely increased
in response to the governments ap-
peal for increased production of this
cereal, and the growing crop has
gained fine start and promises a
bountiful yield. In a favorable season
Wisconsin FARMERS count on wheat
yielding twenty to thirty bushels per
acre, which is considerable more than
the average of western states, where
ordinarily the yield is from ten to
fifteen bushels. And with an assured
price of something more than 81 a
bushel the Badger farmers will make
a fair profit on their wheat, and a
very good profit on wheat that runs
thirty bushels to the acre.
1t has been good many years since
Wisconsin produced enough wheat to
but the crop of this year promises to
meet this requirement, if the present
conservation rules continue, as they
likely will. Ordinarily the people of
Wisconsin consume from 100000 to
100000 bushels in the course of a
year, but the Hoover plan has re-
duced consumption to an extent that
should make the predicted yield OF
100000 bushels more than enough to
supply home needs. Thus Wisconsin
is doing it's bit in another way to pro-
mote the win-the-war program. Still
another creditable effort along the
same line is disclosed in reports of
increased acreage devoted to the rails
ing of sugar beets, which measurably
will help to provide for the needs of
the people of this state-Oshkosh
Northwestern.

Why Iron Chimney Stacks corrode.


The cause Of corrosion Of galvanized
iron extensions to chimneys is laid
generally to condensation which forms
inside the stack, and which in con-
junction with the carbon which has
been deposited in use. creates. a gal
vanic action which soon destroys the
zinc coating and finally eats through
the iron or steel base. To prevent
the condensation an air space around
the stack is recommended. The stack
Is made double from the base to q
point close to the top, with small iron
braces between the inner and outer
castings. These may be riveted close
to the ends Of the sheets in course Of
construction. The air space may be
one or two inches, according to size Of
smokestack, and local conditions

HOST TO KANSANS
Men of 353 Regiment Had a
Great Party Saturday.
Open House at RecreatiOnal
Hall Was Well Attended.

Camp Funston. Kan. Feb. O.
Kansas soldiers of the 353 regiment
were happy Saturday night of last
week. From l o'clock to retreat the
men Hospitality entertained their rel
atives and friends from over the state
IL an open house" event at Recrea-
tional hall. The gates of the camp
were opened wide and hundreds came
to Camp Funston to spend after
noon. A concert by the Regimental
band had been announced as a feature
OF the program, but the band had
scarcely struck the first measure be-
fore the broad hall floor was thronged
with dancers. At last the Kansas
soldiers have come into their own.
They have learned that even the rigid
discipline so necessary to the crea-
ton of trained fighters may be re-
Taxed at times and the whole regi-
ment may be the better for it.
The whole program was carried
thru by committee of non-commis-
stoned officers. Everything was in the
spirit of a social good time for the
enlisted man. This hop" mas done
more than any other one thing could
do to impress upon the men of the
regiment that this splendid building,
built by the people of Kansas, is to
be devoted to enjoyment of the SOL
der body. There have been stories
Sfoat thru the regiment that the big
hall was to be used as an officers
club. The stories have been laid to
rest. The men have had an oppor-
Sun1ty to entertain their guests in
their own way free of restraint In
fact. these Kansas soldiers need no
restraint The dance was altogether
informal, but visitors could not help
but be impressed by the gentlemanly
conduct of their hosts
Colonel Reeves made a short talk
nrio
of the building and extended a cordial
welcome to all But one of the
best things that he said, to the mind
of his men, was that an open house
day similar to this one. may be held
the first Saturday of each month on
Visitors Day" This statement means
a great deal to the Kansas soldier
for he will plan against the coming
of this day to have his relatives and
friends here.
Refreshments were served cafeteria
style. They were paid for from
fund of over 5000 collected by sub
scription from the companies. No
soldier was asked for more than
twenty-five cents and with the funds
subscribed the company cooks in
charge served a delightful spread.
Soldier cooks baked the cakes and
made the pimento cheese sandwiches.
Cocoa, ice cream, and olives were
also served.
The Regiments own band, con-
Quoted by Sergeant Meyers, furnished
band is coming more and more into
demand. 1t has filled engagements
over the state and in nearby towns
and the 353 is proud of it's must
clans.
The hall was tastefully decorated
with the national colors, and THE
Star Spangled Banner" by the band
brought to close royal good time.
