ADVERTISING RATES
PRODUCTION AND THE Il. c. L.

The prospect of every American
having fair share Of the things
necessary to sustain life and make
it worth living depends in part
upon the speed and quantity with
which those things are produced,
says the War Loan Organization of
the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict. If we were able for a certain
length of time to devote the whole
of our productive powers to making
useful things and nothing else, their
cost would be reduced, in spite of
the Vaccinations of the profiteer,
to a price which would enable
everyone to have all that he
requires.
1t is obvious that the wage earn
ers of the country constitute the
chief market to which producers
must look for the purchase Of the
goods produced. In the mainrit is
necessary that we produce for our
selves and for others such things as
we require such as food, shelter
and clothing. If a sufficiency Of
these things were produced, their
prices would fall to level where
all might obtain what their neces-
sites demanded.
The cheaper these things become
the less they take of the wages of
the workers, the more money is
freed for the purchase of other
things, and demand is created for
fresh commodities. This demand
furnishes further employment and
additional wages. So this cycle
continues to re70lye indefinitely

production the cost of living mol
only is decreased but employment
is augmented and money is liberated
to command less necessary things.
If we do not adopt every means
of increasing output, if We do not
abolish waste and diminish unneces-
Sary expenditure, we must grad
ually impoverish ourselves as a
nation. Unless we give larger
share of our national effort to pro-
duction of necessities and save on
luxuries that more capital may be
released for plants and machinery
for further production, conditions
will follow that will tend to lower
the general standard Of life Of the
wage earners in spite of higher
nominal wages.
But if we are prepared to work
hard. to spend wisely, to save regu-
larly, to cut down waste and ex-
and invest securely,
shorter working hours will become
possible, wages will be really and
not nominally higher and prosperity
will be our national portion.
One Of the greatest aids to the
furtherance of this program is con-
,istent and regular investment in
savings securities. War
savings Stamps. Thrift Stamps,
Savings Certificates and Liberty
Bonds offer opportunity for the
putting aside of any sum Of money,
10 matter how great or small.
They are safe, they bear high in
crest and investment in them
means new capital, new opportunity
nd new prosperity for the people
4 the nation.

More than half a century aso the
whalers. responding to Z commercial
demand for ivory, turned their atten-
ton to the walrus and proceeded to
wipe them out Systematically. Some
times as many as 1000 Of the animals
were slaughtered on a single cake OF
ice merely for their tusks. ThVs today
u walrus is, hardly to be found in waters
where the creatures used to be so nu-
mcrous that their bellowings were heard
above the roar of the waves and the
grinding Of the ice foes.
The poor animals had no chance at
all. Usually the method adopted was
to approach a herd Of walrus on the
ice, and after picking off the most alert
bulls from a safe distance with rifles,
slaughter the rest at leisure.

THE killing off of the walrus had far
more than anything else to do with
the peril Of starvation which menaced
the very existence Of the Alaskan Es-
KINDS only a few years, ago. Reindeer,
imported from Siberia, have saved them,
but to them the loss of the gigantic
marine mammal is a really dreadful
misfortune.
The. walrus is one of the most useful
creatures provided BY a bountiful prov
idence for the benefit. of mankind, and
since time immemorial it has been the
main dependence Of the lEskimos in
Alaska +
There are today comparatively few
walrus left alive, and the prospect is
that before long this valuable species
will be virtually extcrminated. Per:
sistent slaughter has reduced it's num-
beers to such a point that there is no
longer much profit in hunting it for
commercial purposes-wherein lies the
only hope for its survival. -

A Whales Worth $4,000

A FULL-GROWN bowhead whale is
: today worth SIS, 900 merely for the
.whalebone it carries in its mouth.
This is the species that furnishes the
bulk of the commercial supply Of whale
bone, which is now worth $3.50 a
pound. 1t is a denizcn of Arctic seas.
The bowhead, like other whalebone
whales, has no teeth. Instead its jaws
are furnished with a series of long,
tapering slabs of a horny substance
fringed with hair. OF these slabs, which
are the whalebone Of commerce, there
may be as many as 600.
The biggest of them are ten or twelve
feet long and they are inserted in the
gum of the upper jaw, from which they
hang. They serve as a sieve to strain
out the whales food. Swimming along,
it takes huge mouthfuls of squids and
other pelagic small fry. Then the huge

The house is lined with the skins
which form the covering of the summer
Eskimo dwelling, the object of this ar
rangement being to prevent the warm
air inside from melting the snow roof T;
for between the skins and the wall there
is always a layer Of cold air. At the
top, for ventilation. and to provide a
draft for the family lamp, a small hole
is cut.
On the side Of the house opposite the
entrance (within) a broad snow bench
is built, with a long pole for an edge.
This is the family bed. For a mattress
a thick layer Of shrubs is spread upon

TT TAKES only about six hours to
! build a first class winter residence
In Eskimo Land. The material, which
is snow. costs nothing.
But the snow must be carefully Sc
lected. The bank that serves as a
quarry must have been formed by a
single storm, to be sufficiently solid and
homogeneous. 1t must yield blocks of
fine grain, yet soft enough to be easily
cut with saw or snow knife.
Two men do the work, one cutting
while the other builds. It is best, if
practicable, to attack the side Of a
steep drift, making parallel cuts and
lifting out the blocks as fast as de-
tached. The blocks are three or four
feet long, two feet high and six to eight
inches thick.
Instead Of laying them in parallel
courses like bricks, the blocks are 80
placed as to form a spiral, inclined in
ward to form a dome-shaped structure,
with the elimination Of the spiral in the
middle Of the top, where two or three
triangular pieces are put in to close the
hole. This is a highly ingenious method
of building a Come without the aid Of a
scaffold.
In order to reach high enough, the
builder makes a snow bench inside, on
which he steps while finishing the upper
part of the structure. Finally the
joints are made tight by pressing snow
mortar into them, the idea being to pre-
vent warm air inside the house from
escaping.
When finished the house is ten or
twelve feet high and twelve to fifteen
feet in diameter, and has the appearance
Of a hemisphere of snow set on its fiat
side. A sort Of entrance hall is added
outside. with a passage big enough to
crawl through, and on either side Of it
eubbyholes for the storage of harness,
spare food, etc.
A window is cut in the wall of the
building and covered with seals intes-
tines sewed together. Being trans

Clever Metro Star is Feature at the
Orpheum Theater Friday

Viola Dana, the clever and fascin-
ating little Metro star, will be the
attraction, at the Oprheum theater
Friday and Saturday in an original
play entitled "The Parision Tigress."
The story is that of young girl
'of noble birth, left in babyhood in
the care strangers, who grows up
in the slums of Paris into a wild and
untamed child of the gutter, dane
ing for a living in the cafes of the
Latin Quarter Her dancing partner
is young Apache of whom she lives
in constant fear.
Adventure comes to the girl when
an aristocratic though impoverished
artist finds he'd and conceives the
idea of having he'd impersonate the
long lost daughter of his wealthy
friend so that he can reap a rich re-
ward.
How romance comes to her when
the mystery of her birth is cleared
life to which she was born, is cleverly
and entertainingly told in man

members who could be found who be-
longed to the high school class Of
1918 were guests at q class reunion
given by Miss May Morgan and Miss
Delphia Montgomery at the J. o.
Morgan home on West Alice street.
Naturally the talk mostly drifted to
topics Of school day history, old
times and old friends.
The faculty guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. W. d. Vincent, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles e. Eicheiberger and Mrs.
Nellie Caster of Blackfoot. The class
members are given together with the
place in which they spent their first
year out Of school:

Mrs. Jones; May Morgan, Blackfoot

way because they cannot get

away because they cannot get
housed.
With the population doubled 1t
would at once settle the water ques-
ton by making sufficient revenue
from the sale of water to justify the
installation of the big system piping
water from some place too far away
to look rea Unable to most people.
In case Of such a growth as we speak
of, everybody would wish to build
where there was paving, and that
would make such sharp demand for
lots at fancy prices, that every one
who wanted to sell could cash in,
and that would solve the troubles Of
the poor people owning some lots
close in.
The more we think 1t over, the
more convinced we are that what
Blackfoot needs most is to tackle
something that is too big for it. The
very effort to do some big thing will
develop our powers and bring in
more people to help us swim.
In the next issue we will map out
something to work by and you will
condemn it for being Impractical, but
after long time you will wish we
had done it.
