Alaska Miners Fear Crows.

Frederick Fearing, the engineer who
lately returned from Alaska showed
me a basket Of fiber fine as silk, woven
by the Eskimos, which is one OF the
most beautiful objects of the sort
have seen.
1t was made on Attu Island by
native women. There are 100 members
OF the tribe left. and only four are
expert basket weavers. Their art Will
die with them. The fiber-as in the
case of Panama" hats-is woven
under water. and the colors and design
seem to reveal a Japanese influence.
A curious fact is noted by Mr.. Fear
ing in connection with the Alaska
Treadwell mine. Several men with
shotguns We're on guard.
This protective measure was not due,
as it might seem, to the desire to keep
away poachers looking for gold. The
shotguns are for the crows.
The shaft is 700 feet deep. The crows
haunting the edges, dislodge pebbles,
and these missiles after a drop OF 100
feet are as dangerous as bullets. So
that even the distant cav of a crow
makes some of these miners SILVER.

could be. Bat the big bear didn't growl
at them one bit. He sat UP and ball
anced his cane on the end OF his nose
and then he stood on his head, and
after that he rolled over and played
dead. And that gave Mrs. Bunny time
to get the breakfast. and when 1t was
ready, the bear got up and came to the
table and was just as nice as could
be. So. after all. the little rabbits
didn't mind him. and when he said
goodby. they asked him to call again
only the next time not to knock SO
hard on the front door, for fear IL
would break.

So he and Billy Bunny put on their

Cow saw them coming she rang the

and then all the farmyard folk came

coRNERING the LABOR SUPPLY.

Labor leaders are before congress in
a determined effort to starve the man
power supply in this country in their
endeavor to retain war wages. A
doIeful tale is told by the secretary OF
tha American Federation of Labor that
there will be bread lines and soup
kitchens in our American cities before
May.
It was ever so. The Spectator who
would have corn rise on the markets
used to set out to corner the supply OF
corn. Cold storage men buy up all the
surplus eggs and butter when they
want to sustain an abnormal price and
labor leaders see only one way to keep
WAGES up to the frenzied figures OF

HARD Nc WOULD HOLD SOLDIERS.

The United Press quotes Governor
Harding thus Keep the men in the
army until they are certain OF job.
That, the depatch says. is Governor
W. L. Hardlng's idea of keeping the
number Of jobicss men at minimum.
There is little we can do in Iowa
now, in regard to taking care Of the
unemployed" the governor. told the
United Press today.
When spring comes we can easily
Geta jobs for all Iowa soldiers and
perhaps many more. We can use at
least $1,000 men on the farms altho
We only took $4,000 for the war.
Building activities need thousands OF
others but that is several months OF
and not the present time
That is a peculiarly cold blooded
fashion OF Diminishing a most important
condition and avoiding sacred duty:
To say to the men who left employ
ment and home, to the youths who
suspended their plans and ambitions,
during the war" from the high i'm
pulse OF splendid patriotism-"You
coming home to seek your place again
in the economy of peace, may interfere
with the plans and wishes of those who
stayed at home in safety; SO stay on
wherever you may be in camp or field
at $50 month under the handicap Of
military service and away from oppor-
tunity until YOU can convince that you
have permanent employment awaiting
you" And to say to million fathers
and mothers and wives ann waiting
women and friends Continue to wait
and hope and pray for reunion. He
shall be discharged when he can't in
terfere with the JOB of Bill Sykes who
managed to get exempted nobody
understands why"
OF course it is a convenient PROPOSE
ton. 1t is convenient for the employer
who promised the old job back and
wants to WEIGH; it lis convenient for
the landlord who pledged the farm 'if
he got back in time" and wants to
rent it to another at higher rental.
But this proposal Of segregation of the
soldiers Of Iowa is by the governor OF
the state should make the state
hang its head in shame.
II men are to be held segregated in
camps without time. liberty and chance
to seek employment personally then
when rehabilitation must finally come
incarcerate in prisons all who have
failed to get a permanent job. Keep
up the segregation. II he hasn't a job
when he is to be finally discharged
put him away. He is only a soldier
Of the United States and of Iowa. At
large his efforts to find employment
and fulfill his ambitions laid down
when he took up his rifle, might en-
barrass somebody.
Iowa desires her soldier sons. She
is ready to welcome them however
quickly they may come back; and
Iowa in general has not forgotten her
pledges and her promises to the men
| who stood forward to defend her honor
| and her safety in this war. The flip
pant suggestion that the boys shall be
| held to an idle service as an expedient
| will not appeal to the sturdy honor Of
| the state.

Excepting for routine state business

Well. the next morning. when Mr..
Happy Sun looked thru the kitchen
window of Billy Bunny's little house in
the Old Briar Patch, he saw the big
bear still sound asleep by the kitchen
stove. SO he said to Willie Wind, who
was blowing across the Pleasant Mea-
dow:
You'd better go up to the Briar Patch
And softly lift the front door latch.
And tell Mrs Bunny to have a care,
For in her kitchen she'll find a bear"
So Willie Wind hurried over the
Pleasant Meadow and lifted the latch
on the little front door Of the Old Briar
Patch. And then he crept softly up
tho stair and told Mrs. Bunny about
the bear. But Of course she wasn't
surprised, for you remember In the
last story she had given him cup OF
carrot tea. But she thanked Willie
Wind Just the same. and then he went
back and told Mr.. Happy Sun what
brave lady rabbit Mrs. Bunny was.
Well. after that, the weathercock on
the little barn began to crow,
Time 70 get up. time to get up.

Lazy folks snore till they rattle the
door.

Humor Of Great Writers.

The humor of Dickens always mas
something sermonesque about it. The
satire and humor of Thackeray are
like a lash to human error. The hu'
NOR of Moliere is the weapon OF one
of the greatest nonsectarian Weach-
ers that ever lived-a preacher ce-
nouncing avarice and the other pri-
mary vices that spoil society, rot inc
soul and make men unhappy.
