WASHINGTON, April g. The election of Mr. George Hazelet, dele gate to the Republican National Con- vention, from Alaska, will bring na- tonal suspicion on the Republican party.
 hazelet stands for a renewal of national diStrust against Alaska. He is for the Alaska Steamship Co.,, mon oply of transportation; for excessive freight and passenger rates for Gug- genheim control of the Alaska gov- ernment railroad; for the Packers combine in control of Alaska Salmon fisheries ..nI fer control of the Alas ka syndicate interests.
 hazeiet has notified me, in writing. he opposes putting on government line of steamships in connection with the government railroad.
 I strongly urge all citizens of Alaska, who hope to see Alaska coal and oil generally developed, citizens who seek regular and sufficient ap- propriations for building and operat- ing the government railroad, and for Alaska government, free from corrupt corporation rule, tc vote fo~ Herron for National committeema and for Valentine and Reed for National con vention delegates, but defeat Hazelet at all hazards.
 (Signed)- James Wickersham.

CANNERY FLEET OFF FOR THE
 NORTH

SEATTLE, April g. Big full rigg- cd "windjammel s." some famous as American clipper ships long ago, al- ready are spreading their sails and heading for Alaska, the vanguard of summer salmon fleets which go north every year to work with the scores of fish canneries that dot northern har- Do. and in.ets.
 Dozens of other craft, steamers, gas boats, barges and tugs, are going north with the sailing ships. Before winter they will all come ploughing back with this years fish catch cann- cd and packed and stored in their holds.
 No record salmon catch is expected this year, according to reports from Alaska. Most of the southeastern Alaska canneries expect to reduce their pack this year from one third to one half normal and several will not operate at all. One cause for the cut is the fact that all of last years pack has not been sold. Low markets are given as another reason.
 Alaska's salmon output last year was 4 592,201 cases, the smallest since 1915. The high water mark of Alaska's salmon years came in 1918 when, in response to war call for food, the canneries sent 6,667, ,569 cases out.
 Most of the salmon are packed in southeastern Alaska, a strip of terri tory that juts south between north ern British Columbia and the Pacific Ocean. Last year southeastern Alaska fisheries turned out 3 10S,364 cases
 gainst 775 557 from central Alaska and 7OS, S,2S0 from far western Alaskan points. The central Alaska plants ex- tend from Cape St. Elias westward to the Alaska Peninsula. The far western plants are on the shores of Bristol Bay and the Boring Sea.
 About 125 salmon canneries were operated in Alaska last year by near ly 90 companies. Several big concerns operated more than one plant, the Alaska Packers Association leading with ten. Libby McNeil and Libby were second with nine. The North western Fisheries Company operated seven and the Pacific American Fish cries Company four.
 Nearly all the boats of the largest fleets that of the Alaska Packers AS sociation, makes it's headquarters Tn San Francisco Bay. The Libby Me Neill and Libby and the Northwestern company boats winter here, the Libby boats riding in the fresh water of Lake Union. The Pacific American company operates from Bellingham. Portland, South Bend, Everett. Olympia, Astoria, Anacortes and oth- CT ports send their share of fishing vessels north.
 Five or six thousand men are going north to spend the summer working at the fisheries. Tn the fall they will come back with the boats and the catch. For several weeks passenger steamers running to Alaska have been carrying capacity lists of cannery em- ployes.

Ia our education We try to teach a

Where are family prayers, faithful
readings Of the Bible? They are gone
and forgotten, and few of us know
them any more. But we find God in the
churches still Perhaps-when the au-
tomobile takes us there and not else
where. And even in the church the
social tends more and more to override
the sacred. We comfort ourselves with
the thought that We are treating God
with reyerance; but often reveranee is
dangerously near oblivion.
Can anything really take the place of
God? Not speed, the perpetual rush of
new inventions that hurry us faster
and faster-whither? Not money, the
orowding emptiness of business, which
throngs our souls with endless calcu-
lation and emulous struggle, only to
leave them dull and unsatisted. Not
luxury, which merely makes ease and
comfort and self-indulgence habit

INCREASE PRODUCTION OF SORGHUM
SIRUP TO RELIEVE SUGAR SHORTAGE

As a simple, practical means Of
helping relieve the acute sugar and
strip shortage, the United States de-
pertinent Of agriculture recommends
the Increased production Of sorghum
eirup which, II Is pointed out, requires
neither unusual skill nor expensive
equipment to make. Furthermore. the
methods Of growing sorghum are sim
liar to those Of corn and In that re-
fpect involve little that Is new to
Iuany farmers. Strip manufacture is
70 simple that It can be carried on
with profit by individuals utilizing
MnaIl-sized outfits OF daily capacity
Of 100 gallons or less. Where opera
tons on a larger scale are feasible.
community plants having daily ca
pacity OF several hundred gallons are
suggested by the department
Sorghum strip Is palatable and
pleasant favored, and ls an excellent
table strip. II can also be used as n
substitute for other sirups or for
sugar "a making certain breads. cakes,
etc. and as substitute for part
Of the sugar used in making preserves
and the like. The cost of producing
II at home is relatively low and usual
" an individual manufacturing II eau
readily sell any excess over his homo
needs to good advantage. Sorghum
sirup produced during the 1919 sea-
son brought the producers from 90
cents to $1.50 a gallon, depending on
the quality. marketing conditions, etc.
Thus far the supply has fallen far
short Of the market demand.
Productive Source Of slrup.
The sorghum plant is similar in ap-
pearance to corn, growing about the
same height and possessing about the
same color. 1t may be grown through
out the United States in practically
all regions where corn is grown.
though parts of the extreme northern
tier Of states have growing season
usually too short for sweet sorghum

BEWARE TURKEsTAN ALFALFA
imported Plant 10 Decidedly Inferior
to Our Native seed-YIeId Of
Hay Smaller,

Large quantities of alfalfa seed are
being imported from Turkestan. This
Turkestan alfalfa, according to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Is decidedly inferior to our ma
tive alfalfa as grown in Kansas and
Nebraska. 1t is neither SO hardy as
our native alfalfa. nor does II yield as
much hay. Turkestan alfalfa seed
may be recognized by the fact that 1t
almost invariably contains Russian
knap-weed seed. These seeds are
slightly larger than alfalfa, chalky
white In color and slightly wedge
shaped.
