Also a Celebration

Three weeks from today Indiana will celebrate
it's first year under statutory prohibition. The
resume of the year will show that the Hoosier
commonwealth has not suffered by the closing
of saloons and cafes that formerly served liquor.
The moral status of the state, so far it can be
JUDGED from available statistics, has been inn
proved. The number of arrests in Wayne county
for instance show surprising decrease. The
workhouse in Indianapolis was closed last June
for want of inmates. Reports from many parts
of the state indicate that jails are empty. Crime
has been lessened.
From business standpoint nothing of an ad-
verse nature is to be reported. Merchants look
back upon volume of business as great if not
greater than in former years. It is safe to con-
clude that 90 per cent of the Hoosiers pretty
well satisfied with one year of this experiment.

Ga III Il a|!|a!

Uncle Sam last year asked his nep-
news and nieces to show their patriot
ism both by conserving food and by
becoming producers, even though in
only small way. This year every
BODY is asked to prove his patriotism
by keeping UP the good work started
last season.
The economic pressure for food pro-
auction may not be quite SO great, but
for all that the problem OF feeding ex.
ira millions remains, and one way of
preventing the cost of the necessaries
or life from going higher is again to
produce food at home.
AT least one-fifth of the diet should
consist OF vegetables. especially those
that are fresh. A plot of ground thirty
feet wide and fifty feet long, if prop
erly handled, will produce the greater
part OF the fresh vegetables, exclusive
OF potatoes, required by an average
family. The back yard or home gar
den makes it possible to have the
vegetables come to the kitchen per-
fectly fresh, and solves the transpor-
tation and marketing problem so far
as the homeNis concerned.

Alaska

From far off Alaska comes a report to show
that although this territory was badly crippled
by the withdrawal of it's man power for war
purposes, bringing suspension of operation in
many industries, nevertheless, the outlook for
the coming year is very bright.
Thousands of her men are already drifting
hack into the mining industries which are res
ponsible for an output of about $42,000,000 an
nually and to the fisheries industry which brings
in about Sol 100000 annually.
The Alaska bureau of publicity points out that
the possibilities from an agricultural point of
view are virtually unlimited, the only drawback
being lack of markets. For that reason it warns
homeseekers not to come in large numbers and
expect to secure sef-sustaining homes at once.
Alaska presents broad field for business op-
portunities and investments. Her mineral re-
sources have been merely scratched. The pros
pectors and miners have plenty of opportunity
to stake their own claims or to obtain profitable
employment in the camps that have been estab-
lished
Alaska embracing 586,401 square miles or
more than 375 million acres, was purchased from
Russia for $7,2OO,000 or less than two cents per
acre. The s9S,oO0,0O0 made in 1917 in min

George H. Knollenberg established a

Steady growth was the history of
the store from the first. and In 1877
the firm had to build a three-story

another addition was necessary, and
the firm had soon to build the annex
on Eighth street.

Is 1t Really a Defect?

John Gasworthy, English playwright, in this
country on visit, before the drama league OF
New York recently said he believed that the
greatest defect in the American temperament
was it's love of short cuts. A feverish Impotence
has possessed US all, America not the least. It's
experience in the war must have cooled the fever,
however, here. hope this war will be for Amer
lea the beginning of an art age. Art will need
home and new lease Of life and sincerity in art
alone will bring the dignity worthy of great
and free people,
1t is almost presumptuous for layman to
controvert statement by so illustrious critic
as Mr.. Galsworthy is. but the very defect which
he discovers in American life is the quality that
makes for success. Just because we Americans
believe the quickest way to complete job is to
go at it heart and soul, bending every energy to
the task and casting aside all old notions of pro-
cedure, we are able to accomplish in three months
what European nation would take year to do
The American doughboys in France, for in
stance, saw no reason why they should follow the
Instructions Of their British and French teach
ers in thanking machine gun nest. That was en-
tirely too slow for their American way of looking
at obstacles, and so they went after the German
machine gunners by frontal attacks, much to
the surprise of the French observers and the con-
sternation Of the Huns, who said that this sort
of warfare was unfair because it was so abso-
lutely different from anything that had been
taught them by their military instructors. The
virtue of this whole method was the eagerness
and the 'feverish impatience" of the Americans
to do quickly the task assigned them.
We are not in position to judge the virtue
of ''eagerness and impotence" when it is applied
to art but we do know that the contributions
made to literature by such buoyant writer's as
Jack London and Rex Beach, and such an in
imitable humorist as Mark Twain have at least
won the admiration not only of the common
people in Europe but also the warmest praises of
the critics.
If the art spirit of America is stimulated into
feverish activity by this called national defect,
cannot see why the resultant product will not
be as worthy Of commentator as it is inherently
good.
Some of the great products in art were pro-
duced in periods where the national impulse had
been greatly stimulated and excited. A refer
ence to the history of art will produce sufficient
evidence to substantiate this assertion
