COMMITTEE FAVORABLE
 TO ALASKA

The outlook for favorable Alaska legislation in the house of representa- tives, could not be better if the friend liness of very capable committee on territories counts for anything, ac- cording to George B. Grigsby, Alaska's delegate in congress.
 MT. Grigsby says the committee on territories in the house is a very able body of men, and it's disposition is to aid Alaska in every way possible. Rep resentative Charles F. Curry of Sacra- mentO, Cal, is chairman of the com mittee, and MT. Grigsby says he is the right man in the right place as far as Alaska is concerned. All the members of the committee were very greatly
 isappointed because things developed at Washington which made it impos- sible for them to visit Alaska during the past summer.
 Chairman Curry" said MT. Grigsby, lis a thorough Westerner, broad minded, understanding the needs of a developing country, and very friendly to Alaska. He wants the territory opened up for development and the accommodation of additional pOpula- tion He is very much in earnest in his desire to aid Alaska, and he may be counted upon. to help in every way that it is possible for him to be of service"
 MT. Grigsby also gives J. L. McPher- son, manager of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, great credit for the passage of the Alaska railroad appropriation bill. There was no answer to the state ment made by Mr. McPherson review ing the work that has been done on the Alaska railroad and the work that needs to be done there" said MT. we'll in hand and presented it so clearly that all charges and criticism evaporated before it. The whole case was presented so comprehensively that opposition to allowing the ST. O0OO0O was completely silenced."
 MT. Grigsby is very hopeful of the situation at Washington, and believes the house committee on territories will be able to get a good deal of very help full legislation through congress for this territory.

"BARNEY" BARUCH WANTS A JOB

Bernard N. ("Barney") Baruch wants job. Peace, he is convinced, has hardships no less terrific than war, for now that the war is over he is out of work.
 Millionaire though he is, adviser of the president both in America and Eu- rope throughout the war, and intimate associate of captains of industry in all parts of the world, the former chairman of the war industries board and financial adviser to the peace conference is nevertheless looking for a situation. And there are difficulties.
 One of the chief difficulties is that Mir. Baruch has reformed, he says. For many years he was a gambler. He publicly admitted 1t when he was summoned as witness in the famous senate "leak" investigation, but the weight of war and serious business of life have reformed him. He never again will be a gambler or dabble 1n the uncertain affairs of Wall street. P Baruch's services. That gateway to

Early Indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived in
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly sedentary and agri-
cultural. The Indians were mostly
farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell
ing in villages. Predatory and unscrupu-
lous, after the manner Of his kind, the
intrnding Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt a rowing and
unsettled mode Of existence.
Corn was their principal crop-a ce-
real unknown to Europe. How ex-
tensively they grew it may be judged
from the fact that in 1885 the British
destroyed 1900 acres Of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians Of re-Columbian days
pursued agriculture on a cooperative
plan. Large fields Of corn were made
up Of hundreds of individual fields.
The squaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath
er the ripe ears.

WERE STGKLERS FOR DIGNITY
Old Chronicle Shows That Members
Of First Congress Regarded Them
selves Very Seriously.

1t is curious to note that the first
of American congresses was muc1
more jealous Of its dignity and its
fair fame than were most Of its sue
cesSors.
An ancient record owned by a
Cleveland man shows that in the
summer Of 1776 one Arthur Thoma1
was mobbed and maltreated and
chased to his home for saying we
congress be- damnedw At about the
same time seven Philadelphia trades
men who refused to accept the new
continental currency, authorized by
congress, were proclaimed enemies Of
the protesting colonies and cut of
from all trade or intercourse with the
community.
Then a loose-tongued Tory, a prom
inenr man in the most prominent city
In America, spoke profanely Of con-
gress and wished the continental pow
der wagons would blow up-and was
rushed to Jail to save him from the
indignant mob of patriots.
"These and divers Others" says the
old chronicle, 'were taught to hold
civil tongues in their heads, and they
were taught, too, that the men Of the
colonies were in deadly earnest and
those who were not with them were
against them, and would perforce be
regarded as enemies and treated as
such. And in time they did grow more
careful"

even fifteen hundred years ago, the

Practice Of Laying conerstonos.

At the northeast corner Of the Great
Pyramid of Cheops Is a stone bigger
and more symmetrically cut than any
other in that gigantic structure. 1t Is
supposed to have been meant as a

The practice Of laying cornerstones
for important buildings is certainly
very ancient, and many very old ones
have yielded most interesting relies

them evidently as memorials likely
to be instructive to subsequent gen.

.rYPIFIEs TRIALS OF ISRAEL
"The only Kid" song-story In Paso-
over Services, Believed to Have
That Significance.

Some commentators say that 'Tne
House That Jack Built" is only q
Jingle taken from "Chad Gadyoh," or
1.-THE Only Kid" a nursery doggereI'
which later became a Jewish legend,
observes the Detroit News. 1t has
found its way into the "Hagodah," the.
Jewish book used the first two nights
of the passover service Of the Jewish
people. After the service is over and
the dinner eaten, the father sings
aloud, 1.-THE Only Kid" with his chill
dren following him. Then he trans
lates it into English or Yiddish for
those Of the family who do not under
stand Hebrew.
"The Only KID tells Of a kid eat
en- by a cat; Of a dog which bit the
cat; of q stick that smote the dog;
of a fire that burned the stick. Then
it tells of water that extinguished the
fire: Of an OK that drank the water;
of a butcher who killed the OK; of the
angel of death who killed the butcher,
and finally of God who killed the
angel. The legend is supposed to rep
resent Israels trials, with Israel cast
as "The Only Kid" and the butcher,
the cat, dog, fire and the stick as his
tormentors. who are in turn killed by
God.
1.-THE Only Kid" has swing and Hit
to it resembling ''The House That Jack
Built" which gives rise to the belief
that the latter is copied from it. Some
say the Jewish legend is an old Ger
man ballad sprung from a French
song.
