Flight strawberries to the quart and rhubarb six feet high, can you beat that?" The speaker was an energetic, husky private in a dugout on the border of No Mans Land. A comrade from Texas, who had been shivering in corner, chilled as he had never been in sunny Texas and as he hoped never to be again, look ed up as he realized that someone had said some ething which interested him.
 "Whar yo' from, stranger?" drawled the Southerner, breaking the silence which had followed the startling an nouncement about the strawberries.
 "Alaska-that's where I'm from and that's where I'm going when I'm through with Fritz"
 What yo' all given us, talkin' about strawberries in the land of ice bergs?" Surprise and unbelief min. gled in the Texans retort and he shivered again, for the word Alaska suggested to him land of perpet- ual ice and snow through which one somehow dug for gold.
 But the interest of that little group, representing the South, Mid dle West and New England, was awakened and the Alaskan was kept busy for a long time answering the many incredulous queries of his com- rades regarding his far-away home in the North.
 Alaskans in service have been the hest press agents Alaska ever had, both in the cantonments of this country and in Europe. You may take your pick of farming land in Alaska. If you don't like the South eastern part of the Territory, where the big strawberries grow, you may gn on into the valleys of the Copper, Yukon, Panama, Susitna, or Kusko- kwim rivers. Alaska has 6,400,000 acres of grazing and farming land, capable of raising vegetables which are the superior of those grown in more Southern attitudes, due to the long hours of sunshine, resulting in q more insensive growth and a ten 6erer product.
 !. Several hundred tons of potatoes, raised by farmers in the Matanuska valley, are purchased each year by the Alaska Engineering Commission for those engaged in constructing Alaska's Government railroad. There

THERE IS A REASON"

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if it doesn't average good is 1t returned and a new one demanded. This ie the reason why we seldom get complaint from a purchaser of one of these watches.
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in spected also. 2

HE MADE GOOD
During the Session of the Legisla.
ture Just Ended Bates County's
Representative Makes
Fine Record.

The following clipping from the
Fayette Democrat-Leader indicates
that Bates county's representative in
the Legislature has been one of the
workers Of the session just closed,
and that he was always on the right
side OF the question:
One of the finest members of the
lower house it has been our pleasure
to know this winter is. Hon. II. O..
Maxey, Democratic representative
from Bates County. No member OF
the lower house, or the senate either
for that matter, has made more
favorable impression here than has
Mr.. Maxey. He is clear headed.
deep thinker, scholar, fine
speaker, clean christian gentleman.
highly worthy and capable to fill any
position within the gift Of the peo-
pie. There should be more such men
as Mr.. Maxey in public life. His
constituency have every reason to
feel proud Of their representative.
Mr.. Maxey is strong friend of the
schools of Missouri. He has made
earnest. and forceful appeals for the
teachers of the state. He has served
this winter on the committee on ed
ucation and public schools, the chill
dren's code special committee, state
libraries and official salaries and fees
committees. He is always positive
in his support Of measures he APP
proves and equally as positive in his
opposition. He is conscientious and
works incessantly. Mr.. Maxey is
lawyer, member of the firm Of De-
Almond & Maxey, at Butler. Mo.
On several occasions the past winter
Mr.. Maxey has filled the. pulpit at
the Christian Church. in Jefferson,
and always to the delight Of his au-
diences. Were there more such men
as Mr.. Maxey IN public life the coun-
ty would be better off. He is not.
an ordained minister, but one Of the
Invest laymen in the state.

1t was announced Thursday by the
state game. department that about 20
million young fish will be distributed
in the streams of the state about tine
first of next month. 1t is the pur-
pose OF the department to rehabili-
tate the fish hatchery at St. Joseph,
enlarge the hatchery at St. Louis and
perhaps establish two additional
hatcheries in the Ozarks. Twenty
per cent of all the receipts into the
game department will be used for the
propagation and distribution of
young fish. 1t is estimated that the
money will be realized from the IL
cense imposed on fishermen.

Cotton-seed prices are the highest
ever known in Southeast Missouri,
now being So to $40 per hundred
weight, or more than S. per bushel.
This is not for seed locally raised,
but for extra quality seed, purchased
elsewhere and claimed to be superior
in quality to the product raised here.
The price is almost prohibitive, and
it is said many farmers are reducing
their acreage rather than pay the
price. Another, reason for reducing
the acreage is that the farmers find
it important that they should. devote
more attention to raising corn, wheat
and hay, at least in sufficient guam
titles to meet their own demands.
