than year and a half. With splen.
did forgetfulncss OF mere personal
concerns we remodeied our indus

sources. Increased our agricultural
output and assembled n great army,

and economic concert. The war
showed us the strength OF great ma
tons acting together for high pur.
poses. and the victory OF arms fore
tells the enduring conquests which
can be made in peace when nations

In America. the reflections OF ARMS
tice day win be filled with solemn
pride in the heroism of those who
died In the country's service, and

 LARGEST CLAM
 CANNtRy SOON

DOUGLAS-Marking new chap ter in the development of the al most boundless food resources of the Alaskan coastal waters is the announcement that Seattle men are to erect at Snug Harbor the largest razor clam packing plant in the world. So successful have been other clam canning establishments operated by Seattle companies in Alaska that packers have been at tracted to the field and have sought new beds of the delectable sea food and the officers of the Surf Pack ing company, of which Alvin Hem rich is president, believe they have found in the Snug Harbor location, directly across from Seldovia, the largest and richest beds available
 George Palmer, well konwn mer- chant of Alaska who formerly oper- ated general store at Knik, is associated with Heinrich in the new canning plant. They will also erect a large salmon cannery at Snug Harbor, it is announced. A big merchandising store to supply the white and native population of the district will also be established and by spring the packing plants will be in full operation. President Heinrich stated.
 Elmer Heinrich, son of Alvin Heinrich, is general manager of the company, and before choosing the site on Snug Harbor thoroughly explored the coast, seeking quality and quantity in clam beds. The products of the plants will be ship ped to Seattle and marketed from that city.

DESERT QUIET UPSETS
 YOUNG DRAFT EVADER

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal,-War or prison are preferable to life alone on the destert, with ones conscience pricking him for his in- fidelity to duty, is the philosophy of John Bauer, who recently was arrested by local officers on the Majava desert, several miles from here, on charge of evading mili- tary service.
 According to Bauer's story to federal officers, he fled from an Imperial Valley town seven months ago, when companions taunted him for his failure to assume his part in the great war by enlisting in the nations service.
 Bauer fled to Cave Canyon, known as the "bad lands" on the fringe of Death Valley and there erected his abode. Constantly taunted by his conscience, he told officers, life was burden for him. He was forced to hide himself from time to time from travellers.
 Officers finally traced him to his desert home and arrested him. He says he's happier now.

ONCE CHINK GARDNER;
 HAS A FORTUNE NOW

SAN FRANCISCO. - Recently, there sailed in through the Golden Gate great trans-Pacific liner carrying as passenger a Chinese who was part owner of the vessel. The purpose of his visit to this country was to attend meeting of the stockholders of the China Mail Steamship company. Twenty years ago this same Chinese came through the Golden Gate, an em- migrant from China, as steerage passenger, hoping for a chance to secure employment as laborer.
 Ng Jim kai is his name. Twenty years ago he found work as a gard ner in the Sacramento valley. After four years he had saved enough money to lease a tract of land. He specialized in potatoes. Year by year his acreage increased. Finally a market short on potatoes found him long on the commodity. Ng Jim kai became rich in season.
 He is 64 years old and both in Hong Kong and Canton, China, he counts a score of great corpora tions in which he is one of the controlling figures.
