In marketing for the vegetables to be
used during the week an afternoon visit
to market is often desirable, especially
if prices nust be closely watched. Few
marketmen expose their entire stock dur
ing the morning hours, and often those
purchased in the later afternoon are
equal in quality and cost far less than
those sold during the regular marketing
"rush hours" This is a case when the
late bird fares better than the early one,
and, with menus planned in advance, the
housekeeper has her material ready to
work with if an early luncheon must be
planned.
Supplies for the week will include for
the meat item quarter OF pound OF
bacon at SO cents pound, half pound
of salt pork at AZ cents a pound, two
ounces of smoked beef at cents an

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP
 CANDIDATES

Milo Kelly, the Cook inlet mining man and member of the First Alaska territorial legislature, has announced his candidacy for the Republican na- tional committeemanship. In his an- nouncement he pledges that he will use his whole influence, if elected, "to obtaining home rule for Alaska" says the Juneau Empire.
 It is understood that MT. KelIy's candidacy will be in opposition to the Wickersham ring which is at tempting to dominate Republican politics in Alaska.
 Milo Kelly is we'll known in Alas ka. He resided on Gastineau chan nel for good many years after his advent in the territory more than score of years ago. Before coming to Alaska he represented a coal min- ing district in the Washington state legislature for two terms.
 From Juneau MT. Kelly went to the westward, and has been engaged in mining in the Third division for many years. He was a resident of Knik when he was elected to the First Alaska legislature, where he did hard work and made a good rec ord as a legislator.
 MT. Kelly's candidacy will be sub- mitted to the voters at the Repub- lican primary election next April.
 Other candidates for the Republi- can national committeemanship are Senator J. R. Heckman, Ketchikan capitalist, and Charles E Heron, An chorage publisher.
 Tn the Democratic party no sub stantial opposition has developed anywhere against National Commit teeman T. J. Donohoe, and if the Democrats of the territory can in- duce him to become a candidate again it is conceded that he will be reelected in a walk.
 Mr. Kelly passed through Juneau on the Alaska en route to Seattle. He will be there only short time when he will return to Alaska, and may stop over in Juneau for a while.

ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT
Practically Impossible for Any Prop osition, However Good, to Be
 Absolutely Without Flaw.

There is nothing however good but a person may find some fault in it if he is determined to do so. There is nothing perfect that is of mans mak- ing. There is nothing that man origin ates or performs but what contains more or less of his weakness. Worth, like water, must stay below the level of it's source. It is quite natural that a person should dissent. The scientists dispute as much as the theOlogians. Every time one obtains a new stand point he changes his opinion. Every time he meets friend he finds that he differs.
 So we must make up our minds to disagree in the right spirit, observes the Ohio State Journal. If we don't do that and our disagreement falls into ill will and anxiety, then we become enen!ies of the truth and social pests

ELEPHANT MADE NO WHiMPER
Underwent Pain of Having Tooth Drawn With stoicism That Would
 Shame Many Humans.

It does not require much imagina- tlon to realize that pulling an ele- phant's tooth is something of an en- gneering as we'll as a dental job.
 An example of this was when Albert, one of the biggest elephants in the Ringing herd at Madison Square gar den, New York, had refused to eat and the circus veterinary found great tooth cavity which was beyond reme- dy by filling.
 The tooth that was giving Albert so much discomfort was as large as a mans fist. After a liberal dose of CO., caine had been injected, forceps as big as ice tOngs were clamped to the tooth, a rope attached to the forceps, and a squad of trainers made ready to sup ply the pulling power.
 At given signal the trainers gave a tremendous pull, and out came the huge tooth.
 In this sort of dental work the un- known quantity Hes in what the ele- phant will do. Albert had been taken out ~Of the menagerie to prevent panic among the rest of the herd in case he developed an inclination to object to the process. However, he underwent the ordeal calmly. and as soon as his jaw was dressed he was conducted back to his stall

RATES WILL BE
 AGAIN RAISED
 BY COMP PANIES

Word has been received in Juneau that the steamship companies operat- ing boats on the Alaska route will soon announce another raise of ap- proximately 20 per cent in passenger and freight rates.
 The increased cost of doing busi- ness is said to make the move neces- sary in order to provide returns on the money invested in the business.
 While no definite date is given as to when the advance is to be ex- pected, it is understood the steamer companies already have given notice of the contemplated raise and that it will be put into effect in a very short time
 The announcement has caused con- siderable murmuring in Southeastern Alaska, and in an editorial headed "A Very Disappointing Announcement" the Juneau Empire says:
 "The announcement that we are to have another advance in freight and passenger rates to Alaska-20 per cent this time-is very disappointing to say the least. It is particularly dis agreeable, coming as it does at time when the whole country is engaging in a campaign to reduce the cost of living We see the American Feder- ation of Labor calling off strikes, di- Tecting men to return to work at for mer wages, putting the ban on further strikes and urging WOrkmen to do all within their power to increase the product of the country.
 With labor leaders throughout the country exhibiting a patriotic dispo- sition to cooperate in a tremendous effort to restore stable conditions, it does not look we'll for capital to be increasing rates and profits at this the people.
 "COnditions in Alaska do not justify this sort of treatment. This territory was hard hit by the war, and her larg- est industry, fishing, has had the worst season it has experienced in many years. Business and industry in Alaska has been charged more than the traffic could bear without danger of breaking down. The great strug- gle in Alaska for two years has not been to make money. It has been to save our business institutions and in- dustries and to keep the wheels turn ing until normal conditions may be restored. This additional burden will make that task more difficult"
