YOUNG MEN SCARCE AT ANCHORAGE

That is a new idea which from Anchorage through Nenana with the report that young womel are so much more plentiful at that place than younf men that girls considering leaving for the States We all familiar with complaints from various parts of Alaska of scarcity of women-particularl! unattached but marriageable women-but this is the first report of oversupply of them. We consider other sections of Alaska places of desir able residences before hiking out for the States It might be. however, that Anchorage is out after young and has advanced this story very at tractive advertisement.
 The Nenana News says:
 According to advices received in Nenana the last mail from Anchorage, the Gov ernment the end of the rail- road is experiencing a shortage of young men, with the result that the few who are there very much in demand by the An chorage young ladies of whom there abundance. 'The looks than Nenana did writes young lady, "af the boys had answered the call the colors'
 The situation viewed by Anchorage girls is serious one and several of the young ladies seriously considering m- grafton to the States where the odds aska without escorts does not look good to them.
 The arrival recently at Anchorage of former well known resident of Nenana, of good appearance and many years, is reported to have created big stir in the coast town, and the indications that his time would be very much occupied.

expenditure of almost incredible number of bill

of the workers who has never considered the day

has been to make money make something better for
the practical progress and wholesome enjoyment of
all mankind. He sees, with sober vision. an unex.

his fellow-men to be awake to new duties and oppor-
tunties
That Americans must in many respects take the
lead in this broadening of the earths peaceful affairs
is practically certain. We have the resources and
qualities needed for the position. 1t is virtually
thrust upon by productive abilities. But we

More Songsters This Year

The great increase in the number of robins this
year is due in large to the federal law pro-
tecting migratory BIRDS Before this law was enact
ed thousands of robins killed every year in the
south for food. Then there is another reason why
migratory birds are more numerous-children are
being trained not to modest them but instead pro-

the robin. True. the sparrow is somewhat of an
noyance around the house with his shrill chatterng
and fighting, and neither is he very pretty to look
at but his usefulness in mans fight against the in

The robin apparently only for kind
of insect-the angleworm; and the aneleworm is not
harmful to man, but benefit. Not only is it good
for fish bait but is of untold value lawns. 1t does
not feed the roots of grass many suppose, but
upon microscopical parasites and other detrimental
matter in the earth and its excretions mostens and
fertilizes the ground and gives nourishment 10 the
lawn. Thus, the robin destroys that which is of
benefit.
The sparrow. on the other hand, is live game'
hunter. when such game is TO be had. In the

other flying insects. He very seldom. unless driven
by hunger, touches dead insects. Since the advent

A Proposition of Real Merit

The Liberty calendar, sample month of which
is shown above. could be used every day for mil
lion years or more according to Minneapolis news
paper. Fifty Minneapolis business and professional
are sponsors for the Liberty calendar, the
adoption of which is already being asked in bill be-
fore congress. though the idea is original with
them. The plan Of adding moLth to the calendar
has been under discussion for many years, and the
only reason advanced against it's adoption is that
such change would be too abrupt.
The calendar is perpetual and so arranged that
every month is exactly like every other, the month
date and week day being the same throughout the
year. Instead of twelve, the year is divided into
thirteen months, January. February. Liberty, March,
ETC.. aud each month will have twenty-eight days.
The extra day of each year will be New Years
day and placed between the last day of Decem Der
and the first day of January 1t is known by name
only, and not by number date as New Years day,
1920.
The day left every four years is known as
Correction day, and has the place as New
Years day. 1t is also designated by name only
One day is omitted from the last year of all centuries
not evenly divisible by four hundred.
1t is very practical idea and we are willing to
take chance on the jolt that might come with an
abrupt change.-Mesaba Ore
