REV. DRANE SAYS
FUR BUYERS ARE
ACTIVE UP RIVER

Rev. F. B. Drane, recently back
from his semi-annual visit to the
upper Tanana, reports conditions
comparatively favorable to natives
and whites of that section. While
signs of fur-bearing animals are not
abundant, still there is evidence of
more game than is reported in that,
section. Wolverines and wolves are
plentiful in certain parts of the
upper valley, which. of course, are

Does Education Diminish Crimeo

The Indianapolis News, after study of a
paper written by DR.. Paul E. Bowers of the Ind
lana state prison. concludes that lack of educa-
ton is intimately related to the problem of crime
It says: DR.. Paul E. Bowers, of the Indiana state
prison. has written paper dealing with the re-
suits of survey of $500 prisoners who were ex-
amined in the psychopathic laboratory of the
prison. Many of the deductions from the paper
are of interest, but none more so than that deal
ing with education and crime. DR.. Bowers makes
the point that rs per cent of the prison popula-
ton is composed Of persons 'who are without me-
chanical or trade skill who earn their means of
livelihood in crudest forms of physical labor, to
which they apply themselves irregularly and in
half-hearted manner The average wage in
come is to be classed at the lowest wage-earning
scale"
Those without definite training in the bust
ness of making living most often found in
the criminal classes. Among the $500 men ex-
amined, trained and skilled mechanics were ex-
tremely few. Some of the prisoners said that
they followed fairs, circuses and carnivals, ped
ding shoe strings and pencils cooked in camps,
collected junk, acted as porters in saloons, in
ious capacities in race horse stables and as fake
solicitors for magazines.
Of those examined it was found that 432 were
illiterate; $50 could barely read and write; 1856
had reached the fourth grade; 496 got as far as
the eighth grade; 80 had attended high school,
and % had been in college. Surely this tells its
own story-that crime decreases as education in
creases. In prisons throughout the country not
more than per cent of the prisoners have gone
to college, while fully 25 per cent are wholly H.
Iiterate. A few prisoners explain that they never
had an opportunity to go to school, but most of
them say that through evil associates and unfor-
tunate environment they stopped school at an
early age and from then on their energies were
exerted in the wrong direction. No greater argu-
ment in support of keeping boys in school until
they have received sufficient training to begin
the work of making living could be furnished
than the figures from Indianas prison.

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SPRAYS AND IN
HALERS.

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that you
are doomed to spend the remain
der of your days hawking and
splitting, with no relief in sight
from inflamed and stopped-up
air passages that make the days
miserable and the nights sleep
less.
Of course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old-time,
make-shift methods of treat
ment that you and many other
suffers have used for years with
no substantial results. If you
are still content to depend upon
the use of sprays, douches, in
halers, jellies and other like
remedies by themselves, that are
applied to thes surface and can
not reach below it, then make up
your mind now that your Ca
tarrh will remain a life compan-
ion and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself, and not it's symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
Of course you know that when
you are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca.
tarrh manifests itself by inflam-
nation of the delicate mem

The material wealth of the Indians has IN
creased not only in Oklahoma but also in other
states where the Aborigines have doubled the
cultivated acreage and quadrupled the value OF
their crops and live stock. In 1918, SO, 328 In
dams engaged in farming and ALTA in stock
raising, thereby adding more than $5O,OOo,OOO

|. More than one-half million acres OF Indian
lands are under water service and one million
acres more will be added when present projects
are completed. The Indian office in Washington
leased for the benefit of the Indians last year
110,898 acres of coal land. This yielded the In
dian tribes more than $290,O0O.
The Indians proved their loyalty to America
in the recent war by purchasing $20,0OO,OOO in
Liberty bonds and sending 5000 men to the army
and navy.

| When w0s Play

Started in City?

Before 1904, the playground arrange
ments for Richmond's children were
quite simple. The consisted OF such
vacant lots, alleys and streets as the
children were able to find.
But in that year the first steps
were taken to create the present sys-
tenn, now unfortunately in danger be-
cause of want of money in the city
treasury. A committee of public re-
creation was appointed by the Rich
mond Civic league, consisting OF N
C. Heironimus, Henry Deuker, DR.. A;
l.. Bramkamp, Mrs. Henry Starr and
Mrs. Walter Hutton.
At first the committee tried to get
the use of part of Glen Miller park.
This was impossible, so on May q,
1904, the school board bought the
present playground at Twenty-second
and Twenty-third streets, south or
Main. The total strip was 459 by 45o
feet
From the start an attempt was
made to provide every kind OF bene-
fetal athletic energy. On bright
spring evenings, throngs OF children
and their elders could be seen play
ing baseball, tennis, playground ball,
trace and field sports, and other attn
letic events all at the same time.
1t is impossible to estimate the
good done by the grounds before the
city funds ran so low that they had to
be cut off the list of expenditures
Many athletes, high school and col
lege, have heceived their first train
ing there. Hundreds of persons, who
never became famous received great
benefits from them.

A Criticism or Our Export Trade

Gordon Selfridge the famous London mer-
chant, recently interviewed by Meyer Bloomfield
for the Saturday Evening Post says the Ameri-
business man has not shown himself very
DESTROYS of export business. This may account
for the readiness with which our competitors
enter and hold foreign markets. For many years
we have been unable to produce more merchan-
disc than could consume at home, the result
being that we paid little attention to foreign trade
and less to methods of acquiring it.
"At the beginning of the war we sent our
people to America to buy goods" says Mr.. Self
ridge eve had difficulty in getting stuff there,
and only in few very exceptional cases did we
find that our buyers were catered to by the
American manufacturing public as buyers should
expect to be, and they came back feeling that any
business done was as favor to them.
"The reason was that the manufacturer in
America found at his own door an outlet for his
stuff, which did not make export business neces-
sary; and because it was harder to do export
business and because he was not accustomed to
it he preferred to continue the local trade. Gen
orally America is not going to become an export
country as long as America is producing no more
merchandise than she can easily sell at home.
When this condition changes she will look for
outside sources for the distributing of it,
1t is surprising that American merchants, des-
pite the many expositions on foreign trade meth
DDS that have been made by our own consular Of
ficals and foreign representatives, have been un-
able to acquire the tact and finesse that mark the
tactics of our competitors in going after the for
eign markets of the world. At no time in the
history of America have foreign markets been
looked upon as such necessary outlets for our in
dustria and commercial enterprises as now. The
rebuke of the London merchant adds nothing new
to the criticism which has been made often in the
past. 1t demonstrates that we have made little
progress in this direction The time has come
when American business men must learn that
foreign buyers will not accommodate themselves
to our methods but must be met on their own
ground and in their own way.

by this simple hot-water treatment.
If they are not killed, plants grown in
such soil will usually become diseased
and die or else will remain stunted
and sickly. 1t is because of the trans
planting of such diseased seedlings
that many of the poor crops or fail
ures in the home garden occur. Every
gardener should therefore learn how
to recognize troubles of young plants
and become familiar with the method
here described for preventing them.
Before treating the soil it should be
placed in the box ready for seeding.
Make few holes in the bottom of the
box for drainage. Pour on the boiling
water slowly at the rate Of two gallons
to box of soil one foot square and
four inches deep and at once cover
with newspaper to help hold the
heat for longer time. After a few
days or whenever the soil has dried
out enough the seed may be planted.
Be careful that no diseased soil or
anything else which might spread the
trouble gets into the box.
Young plants grown in this treated
soil not only have white, sound roots,
but also have healthy, vigorous ap-
pearance above ground. Besides this,
seeds sprout better and the plants
grow much faster than those planted
in untreated soil
Ordinarily diseased seedlings are a
lighter green color and are somewhat
smaller than healthy plants and have
a sickly appearance. These signs of
disease on the young plants, however,
may not be noticed and still the trou-
BILE may be present on the roots and
develop after the plants are set in the
garden.
To find out if the diseases are pres
ent, always examine the roots of young
plants before setting them out. If af-
fected by molds or fungi. dark dead
patches may be seen on the roots and
sometimes on the lower part of the
stems. Badly diseased seedlings have
their roots destroyed by the fungi or
their stems killed at the surface of
the ground so that they fall over. If
attacked by the eelworm the roots are
enlarged or swollen and knit-like
places are formed.

Belgium Invites the Tourists

The fear of American tourists that foreign
countries would shut the doors against them this
season has been dispelled. Belgium invites tour
lists to visit the battefields after June 1st. The
motives back of this invitations are not entirely
mercenary but intended to show foreigners
the devastation and atrocities which the Huns
visited upon that land in four years. Some bene-
fit may accrue to Belgium by having tourists see
these scenes of desolation, although one wonders
why Belgium is inviting them at time when
frantic appeals for foodstuffs are being made.
The presence of any considerable number of WIS.,
itors certainly will accentuate the shortage. 1t
is not probable, however, that many tourists will
care to risk the hazards of poor accommodations
and food in the hotels of Belgium this year.
