suIting in general complaint in al!
parts OF Alaska. The present system,
under which the mail is handled as
express or freight in Western and
Southeastern Alaska. and by small
boat to points to Westward along the
Alaska Peninsula, is not only unsatis-
factory, but altogether inadequate.
and if continued will greatly hamper
and retard the development of the
fisheries, az we'll as Of other Alaskan
resources.
The result of the present policy in
Southeastern Alaska has been irregu.
lar and infrequent service. long de-
lay in the delivery and distribution Of
mail a: points even short distance
eff the main lines Of steamer travel
and general Inconvenience. With nc
special obligation as to the handling
Of the mail, instead OF going on re
sular schedule it is delivered when
ever boat happens to have sufficien,
freight to warrant a call. On arrival
it is of'en among the last freight tc
be discharged. and IL landed at night
has to wait until the next day before
being distributed and forwarded
while outgoing mail from Alaska
points, instead Of being received UP
to the times Of sailing. must be posted
many hours in advance. Many com.
munities on the Alaska coast, open
to TRANSPORTATION throughout the year
are now often entirely without mail
fer weeks at a time, where it was
formerly received every few days.
Freioht and passengers service also
has suffered greatly on account Of the
present system. Where formerly re.
suIar schedules were maintained in
accordance with the mail contracts
steamer service is now dependent on
the accumulation Of enough freight
to pay for the trip. Thus both pas
senoer travel and the shipment Of
FREIGHT to and from many points in
Alaska, where calls were formerly
made with regularity, have become
exceedingly difficult and uncertain.
/ The result Of these conditions to
the communities along the Alaska
Peninsula. among the adjaeen tislands
and in eering Sea has been far more
serious than in Southeastern Alaska

The Fraternal Order Of Eagles are
to be hosts tonight to the first big
ball Of the season. or Of the winter

the influenza. parties and balls have
been as scarce as the proverbiai hens

The dance this evening which is
free to everybody. is complimentary
to the returned soldiers and sailors
Of ketchikan and it is hoped that
everyone will turn out TO do honor to
the boys in Khaki and blue. Dancing
will begin promptly at 9 O'Clock after
the basketball game, and music will
be dispensed by the Raymond Or

The mail steamer was formerly the
sole reliance of these communities
for freight and passenger service dur.
ing the winter months; but the boat
now handling the mail for this dis
triet is without freight or passenger
facilities. and has been unable even
to maintain mail service with regu.
larity through the winter. When this
condition arose many communities to
Westward were short Of food and 9TH
er winter supplies, and while this
condition has been partly relieved
through private effort, with the CO.
operation Of the Pacific American
fisheries and the Revenue Service,
further service is needed to prevent
serious hardship in these communities
before spring.
This country in former years took
just pride in the universal and eff.
Gent service rendered by the Postof-
flee Department, which was Of meal
culabIe importance in the early de-
velopment Of the West. The carrying
Of the mails with promptness and re-
ouiarity was REGARDED as vital fune-
zion. to be fulfilled to the limit Of DOS
sib;ity. At the same time, the pIac.
ing Of mail contracts often made it
possible to furnish regular means Of
Transportation which otherwise would
have been lacking. Such PIONEER
countries as Alaska are peculiarly de-
pendent upon such facilities. and the
only practical way in which they
can be provided is through the main.
tenance Of an efficient postal service,
with liberal policy on the part Of
the postal authorities. Mail in a
frontier country like Alaska cannot
be successfully handled on the basis
Of the lowest possible cost. Service
rather than economy. is the proper
aim Of the Postoffice Department: and
the service must be maintained on an
efficient baais-without extravaqence.

At Kansas City a marked increase
In the local drive in" has resulted
largely from the increased use OF mot
or trucks. During the first eight
months of 1918. 1887 hogs were
handled by motor truck and wagon,
an increase of 21.505 over the same
period in 1917. Denver notes an in
crease Of 223 per cent. in sheep. IL per
cent In hogs and Is per cent in cattle
in the local drive in" during the first
eight months of 1918, compared with
1917. At st. Joseph, Mo-, the drive
in" during the last year has more than
doubled through the use Of trucks. In
a single day at st. Joseph 1,400 hogs,
200 cattle and considerable number
of sheep were brought to the market
in 100 motor trucks.
With good, permanent roads on the
boom in all parts of the country. and
transportation by truck more satisfac-
tory in every way. the department in
vestigators believe that the future
promises cheap and efficient market
ing of stock in power vehicles. The
effect Of market fluctuations is reduc-
ed to the minimum, because in the
main. only few hours are required
from the farm to the stockyard.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor and
Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
lions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people feshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
plate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is
sold by Conkey Drug company in Rich
mond, and most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directely
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro-phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation in the
appearance; the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack Of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright,
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
OF perfect health.
caution: - Although bitro-phos-
pnate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and gen.
eral weakness, 1t should not, owing to
its remarkable flesh-growing properties
be used by anyone who does not de-
sire to put on fesh.-Adv.

Famo Destroys
Dandruff BaCi1li

Science has perfected a wonder
full preparation that stops Seborr-
hea (the medical term for dandruff)
by killing the dandruff microbe.
Its name is FAMO and it is a
product of one of the famous
pharmaceutical houses of Detroit.
The ingredients have never been
used on the scalp before but they
are well known to physicians.
AS fast as nature grows new hair
the Seborrhea germ kills it off.
Unless you destroy the germ
with FAMO, the new hair will grow
weaker and weaker and badness
finally will result
FAMO destroys the dandruf ba-
cilli and makes new, luxuriant hair
grow.
FAMO actually retards grayncss.
1t contains no alcohol. 1t stops all
itching of the scalp.
FAMO should be used daily by
every member of the family, even
keeps the hair healthy and beautiful
and prevents seborrhea.
FAMO is sold at all toilet goods
counters, also applied at the better
barber shops. It comes in two
sizes-a small size at IS cents and
m extra large bottle for 81.
Sebovyheo IS the medical name for

COTTON WORTH FORTY CENTS
COTTON SEED WORTH 500 TON
By M. C. Allgood, Commissioner Of
Agriculture.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 25.-The
following information was gained at
the Worlds Cotton conference, New
Orleans, La:
English spinners will make arrange
ments to buy three million bales OF
American cotton. Indications now
are less than ten million bale crop.
English and American spinners have
very little cotton on hand. They are
making immense fortunes on account
CT high prices received for their
goods. They could now pay the far
mers sixty cents for cotton, based on
selling prices of cloth. Spinners are
excited over the shortage of our pro-
duction. They have millions tied up
in equipment and hundreds OF thou
sands of laborers dependent on them
for work and must have cotton. The
American farmers have limited suR-
ply of cotton and can and will get
forty cents by holding same. 1t
takes twelve months to grow cotton
It should be marketed through a
period of twelve months and not
forced on the market in three months
This years crop was produced on war
time price basis. And with four
successive short crops the world will
face cotton famine next June.
Cotton Seed.
Thousands of tons of cotton seed IN
Texas on account of incessant rains
have sprouted and ruined in the
fields. In previous years cotton seed
oil mills crushed thousands of tons
of peanuts. Today peanuts are sell
ing for $4,000 per ton for shelling
nurposes and mills cannot buy them
for crushing. Therefore cotton seed
oil will have no competition with pea
nut oil. Heretofore thousands OF
heads of hogs have been fattened on
cheap peanuts. Peanuts will all be
harvested a--d thus the supply Of fats
from this source will be curtalled.
And cotton seed oil will certainly be
in great demand. There will be
practically no. peanut meal produced
