MlRTH-PROVOkiNG IS "lOvE LOOPS THE LOOP"

The new Paramount Mack Sennett comedy Love Loops the Loop" fea. turing Charles Murray, Wayland Trask, and Mary Thurman is not only a mirth provoking picture, bat one filled with unusual thrills. In this comedy, Mary Thurman who impersonates caberet girl, and whose beauty inspires all the gentle men she meets with love. loops the loop in the most daring fashion and at the peril of her life, on roller skates. The most daring circus atil- lete would think twice before at tempting this feat but Mary Thurman never was a circus athlete, but in college, she surpassed in athletics and courage did the rest for her
 This is a splendid side-splitting comedy sssome of the fun making devices being of that character that they cannot be described without lessening their interest to the spec tator
 It will be at the Coliseum theatre for Saturday only.

FRED STONE IS VERY BUSY MAN IN "IINpER THE TOP J

During the last three hundred feet of Under the Top" this is what hap pens:
 The conspirators are chasing Jim mic (Fred Stone) and one of them leads seven horses across his path He vaults over them like a bird and then climbs to tight rope and runs out over the waiting audience which thinks he is part of the afternoons performance, and jumps over several horses from spring board, seizes a big umbrella and goes sailing across the tent again. He jumps over several numbers, leaps to a horizontal bar, to horses back and then finds that it is two minutes to three o'clock. a big moment for Fred Stone in Under the Top his second Aircraft picture
 He takes somersault from the horses back and lands on slack wire from which he reaches flying trapeze. flies high above the heads of the audience and lands in net. He then produces the marriage Ii cense-but that is telling you too much

MOOSE DANCE BOOSTS TENNIS FUND; BIG
 CROWD IS PRESENT

The dance last night by the Moose lodge for the benefit of the public school tennis court fund was an unqualified success from every stand point.
 The eighth grade boys, cooperat. ing with the Moose proved to be great rustlers and not only sold lot of tickets but also sold out their stock of punch to 200 people pres ent.
 Larson's orchestra, which furnished the music for the event made big hit with the crowd with their poppy jazzy melodies. The circle two-ster at midnight saw perhaps one of the jolliest lot of dancers ever gathered in Juneau hall.
 The management of the dance publicly thank all who contributed to it's success, including those who advertised it and who contributed personal services. They are espec ially grateful to Jack Burford, who made special efforts on behalf of his class in promoting the affair.
 Just how much money will be turned over to the tennis fund is not known yet, but there is nc doubt that very substantial sum was realized.

MINERS FAITH IN WOMEN vISUAliZED IN THE BRAND"

The rough environment. of Alaska with it's conflicts, hardships and utter materialism is no place to look for ideals, according to the popular con. ception of the place-a conception, it might be added based on an indef- mite knowledge of the country. Rex Beach, the novelist, contends that amid the so-called roughness of the northern country, ideals are cherish ed with far more steadfastness than in the cities
 He is one Dan McGiil. .an old timer who has spent practically all of his life in the Yukon country. He is a man of iron and flint outwardly. In reality he is tender and affection, ate the secret of his character never being guessed by his miner friends.
 Not until woman comes inte his life for the first time does McGill reveal his true self. To him, the little ex-vaudeyille actress, help less in the strange country is al most holy. She is the wonder woman. And this he proves as subsequent events show. The middle agen miner marries her and when dsillusionment comes, as of course it does, he is willing to sacrifice himself and leave her to herself.
 Rex Beach declares that such a magnanimity is not uncommon in the North. Respect for a woman, il she deserves it. amounts to rev erence. He mentions a number of instances to prove it and which makes the sacrifice of Dan McGill seem the most natural course in

QUICKLY PERISHABLE CROPS
Difficult to Form Any Reliable Judg.
ment for Marketing Berries,
Melons and Peaches.

It is particularly difficult to form
any reliable market judgment for
quickly perishable, short-season crops
like Strawberries, peaches, and melons,
says the United States department of
agriculture. Markets in such lines are
irregular, differing widely at the same
time in different cities because the ma
ture of the crop does not admit Of
safe transfer between distant points
and does not allow long keeping in
cold storage. These lines feel quickly
and severely the effect of oversupply,
whether of car lots or from neighbour
ing sources. AS these crops are not
strictly necessities, the demand is
somewhat uncertain, depending large
" upon the buying power Of the pub
lie, which may vary greatly from sea-
son to season.

GARDEN AND TRUCK PATCHES
Most Intenslvely Worked Spots on
Farm and Contribute Greatly to
Farmers Income.

The most intensively-wOrked field on
the farm, say specialists Of the United
states department Of agriculture, Is
the garden. For convenience it is
usually located close to the dwelling.
Many farmers have, in addition, truck
patches in fields where intertilled
crops, such as corn, are grown. These
patches are conveniently plowed, pre-
pared, and cultivated at the same time
the ground is worked for the regular
crop. In the truck patch potatoes,
sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes, squash,
and cucumbers are usually raised.
Vegetables constitute only about IL
per cent In value of all food consumed
by farmers, and ABOUT 80 per cent OF
the vegetables are furnished by the
farm. In general, Irish potatoes are
easily the most important vegetable
raised, constituting nearly one-half
the value of all vegetables consumed.
In the South, however, about twice
as many sweet potatoes as Irish pota-
toes are used.

Make STUDY OF FRUIT TREES
Notice Carefully Which One Bears
Heavily, Ripens on Time and
Natures Big Crop.

Notice the fruit trees carefully. See
which tree bears heavily, ripens on
time and natures a high grade of
fruit. Notice the trees that are shy
bearers, the tender trees susceptible
to disease and insect injury. &.
1t is highly desirable that the fruit
grower become thoroughly familiar
with the tendencies of the various
trees so he will know how to treat
them. Trees are much like, animals.
A person can always get better re-
suits with animals if he understands
their peculiarities. :,z !.
Furthermore one always wants to
know the good trees and the poor
trees. The poor will need be replaced
as soon as practical. The desirable
trees bearing large crops Of highly de-
sirable fruits may be reproduced.

PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN
Assertion Made That Not One Person
In Ten Thousand Is Abso-
l0teIy Sane.

Perfect health of mind and body are
both exceedingly rare. Not one "civi-
lized" person out Of ten thousand is
perfectly healthy. Not one civilized
person out of ten thousand is perfectly
sane. That is to say, absolutely level
headed in all respects, not attaching
undue Importance to his own hobby,
and with no prejudices against new
ideas able to appreciate the other side
Of the question and to change his
ideas when he is convinced that he is
wrong.
Sanity has been defined as 1.-THE abil-
ity to accommodate oneself to ones
environment" Not bad definition:
Those who decry the manners and
customs of other races or people,
merely becaus e they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-Los

EARLY POTATOES ARE
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Don't Crowd Out More Intensive
Garden Vegetables.
Wherever Space VIII Permit Il Is Ad-
visabIe to Plant at Least One Peck
Of Seed-Put Sugar Corn
Between the Rows.

One peck Of medium sized seed po-
tatoes, cut so there will be two good
eyes to piece, and dropped one pieco
to a hill, will plant $50 feet Of row,
according to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Il seasonal and
other conditions are right this peck
of seed potatoes should produce at
least sixteen-fold, or four bushels Of
potatoes. Some home gardeners have
grown six and seven bushels Of early
potatoes from peck Of seed, but that
is exceptional. Sixteen pecks Of pota-
toes, or 4S quarter-pecks, will provide
the potatoes for at least 4S dinners
for family Of five, with some left
from each dinner to be fried for break
fast the following morning.
Potatoes are important in the diet,
and early potatoes from home gardens
are especially appetizing. 1t may not
pay to crowd out the more intensive
garden vegetables in order to grow
early potatoes, but wherever space
will permit at least one peck Of seed
should be planted. A good plan is to
plant late sugar corn between the po-
tatoes about the time the potato vines
begin to show signs Of ripening. Then
as the potatoes are dug, hoe the soil
around the corn. Late cabbage plants
are often set between the potatoes
and a crop Of cabbage is produced
after the potatoes are removed. 1t al
ways pays to keep the land working.

BIG REVENUE FROM TOBACCO
Figures Have Always Been Larger
Than Those From Customs Tax
-$173,0 600, 900 in 1918.

The internal revenue from tobacco

customs receipts, says the United
States department Of agriculture. In

1863, the internal revenue was $3,00O,-

the amount increased to $31,OOO,OO

100000 by 1882. After that year, the
amount declined and remained rela-
lively low until 1898, with a low
water mark Of $26,OOO,000 in 1884.
Suddenly, in 1899, the income jumped
to S52OOO,OOO, and the amount reached

four applications are required in or

ing figures secured after working with

last season, the average cost an acre
came to 04 cents for each application.
Farmers have decided that this IS
cheap protection against very seri-
Gus, disease, and it is believed certain
that spraying will soon be recognized
as a necessary step in good melon
culture.
Spread Of Disease.
Last season favored the spread OF
the disease. Severe rainy weather
was experienced at one time or an
other during the growing season all
over the melon belt, and moist
weather with driving rains made 1t
possible for this disease to spread
through the fields. Cars arrived at
the New York market with 80 to 80
per cent Of the melons affected, the
sunken, decayed spots on the rind be-
ing so numerous that in some in
stances the entire surface Of the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Much loss was prevented in the
southeastern states in the past season
by spraying for the watermelon dis
ease, anthracnose. The organism
which causes the trouble attacks the
vines in the field, killing the foliage
and lowering both the yield and quail
lily of the fruit. BY covering healthy
vines with a spray solution, Bordeaux
mixture, they can be protected.
Popularity Of Method.
The growth in popularity Of this
method may be seen in Florida. In
1918, not more than 300 acres in that
state were sprayed. In 1919 over
8,40O acres were sprayed under super.
vision Of agents Of the department OF
agriculture. Approximately two to
