PATRIOTISM.

If there ever was serious mis- take which our people are in danger of making. it is the view that We are taking of the nature of patriot ism, says the Dubuque Times-Jour- nal. To many it simply seemed to be state of lip enthusiasm for the interests of our country in time of war. Then it was our duty to make sacrifices. to show our devotion to America. to display the flag. to re- buke the lukewarm with all the energy at our command Now that peace has come. it seems that pa
 triotism has been demobilized for a great many people. Our Govern
 ment makes appeal after appeal. and they fall on deaf ears. We are told the things which are essentia for the well-being of the nation ans we proceed to disregard all of them
 It is pointed out to us that tb,
 enemies of our country are still ac
 tive Tn the newer and even nor: dangerous trade war, and grea
 classes of our citizens take the yer,
 steps which help to restore German
 industry by weakening our own in
 dustrial efficiency.
 How much have we heard of tn
 need of thrift? Who practice thrift? The, trades which deal i , luxuries are fourishing as neve before. We have all heard tha ; any reduction of the amount o goods produced in America must 0 , necessity encourage the German e, | port trade. And in spite of thi , fact, We are doing the very thing , which will restrict production an make prices high.
 II To complain about the preser 9 ,situation will be of no especial va 2 Iue. What We need is a combine
 effort to show that there is as def n mite need for patriotism in tt - lcritical period after the war as

RUSH PREDICTED.

For more than twenty years, says Stroller White in a bulletin issued recently by the Alaska Publicity Bureau. the trend Of travel from September 15 to February 15 has been from Alaska to the Outside. This winter the order is reversed, and even now there is heavier pasSerger traffic from the Outside 10 Alaska than the other way, and present indications point to the largest movement northward next spring that has been witnessed since the boom days several years ago. There is reason for this condition. and it lies in the fac. that Alaska Is coming back and coming strong Thousands of Alaskans have gone Outside within the past three years and they have not found the smooth ''sledding" they hoped for. The fiowery beds of ease they expected 70 find there proved mythical. Val iantly they have endeayoced to turn deaf ears 10 the call of the North. but that call has been so nsistent that many are needing 1t, and that accounts for the prese1R increase in rorthbound travel All the oldtim- CTS know just what they can do in Alaska and just what Alas ka will do for them They know that the same efforts expended here will yield larger and more satisfactory returns than if expended in the States, and besides. the lure of the North is iA their systems and they jus. natur- ally yearn to get back. Not only are the oldtime Alaskans return ing. but at no time within nearly a score of years have 50 many new people been interested in this coun' try as at present. Farmers. me chanics, laborers, professional mer and women, stenographers and schoo teachers of both sexes. clerks anC bookkeepers by the hundreds, nurses housekeepers, cooks-in fact, rep resentatives Of all ca.lings and avo cations in life-are crowding tn mails with letters requesting in formation concerning Alaska. An Alaska can and will provide 10 many of them. She has the re sources, and population is her great est need.

CALIFORNIA O|L WELLS PRODUCE
 OVER b|G AREA


 .ion in California in 1919 is csti- mated at loo.0oo,ooo barrels by R. r. Mclaughlin. state oil and FRS supervisor This Is slight in crease over the 1918 output The total value of the crude oil at the wells was approximately sl35.oo0.00o. Mclaughlin reported, The field price of oil has advanced in just about the same degrec as farm products, the supervisor said. adding that the price of California oil may not be reasonably expected to decline until the general price | level of all commodities falls
 The increase CT decrease of the amount of oil in storage has for several years been generally con- sidered as an index for field prices." said Mclaughlin report. During .he past year and half, however. the effect of stored oil on field prices has been entirely obliterated or neutralized by the general con- dition of advancing prices of all commodities.
 Current statistics by private concerns disagree as 10 the actual amount of oi! now stored, but dc agree in indicating that stocks were somewhat less at the end of the year 1919 than at the beginning. This, in conjunction with the fact that production was approximately the same as during the previous year. shows that the industry has not quite held its own"
 Five hundred new producing wells were brought in during the year the report said, noting that daily Iproduction per we'll declined during the year from 32 to 3O12 barrels In 1916 it was 37 barrels. The acreage of proved land wa: materially increased by develop
 ments in the Elk Hills district, Kerr county. and Richfeld district, Or iange county, the report said. Tn, total now was estimated at 91,00' acres, as compared with ss.2l:
 acres in March. 1919.
 Construction of additional hydro
 electric power plants is reported a
 going forward to such an eNten ithat the present annual conSump !tion of oil for generating electricit, will be reduced by two million bar
 rels. .:
 Mclaughlin said waste of O
 through improper drilling method was being decreased under state su ipervision and that the economi Iwaste of burning crude oil withou first extracting its more valuabl
 constituents by refining is apparen
 lly being eliminated.

+. +. HAMILTON
 FILES PETITION
 IN BANKRUPTCY
Attorneys Took Sum of $35O For Their Services
 In Case.

The voluntary petition in bank ruptcy of Harold H. Hamilton, who was formerly of the Hamilton-DeLoss Company, was filed in the office of Referee John T. Keogh this morning.
 The lone unsecured creditor. Harry N. Bristol of 23S Broadway, New York city, seems to be out of luck, accord ing to the schedules filed with the pe- tition. He is a creditor for $550 and the only assets set forth are an life insurance policy for $12,000, which is payable to Harry H. DeLoss to secure a debt of $S,S1S.09. The other assets consisting of $92 in cash household furniture valued at $1,000 and books valued at $500 are claimed as exempt
 The bankrupt had $350 more but his attorneys, Foster & Morgan. took this amount for their fees and dis bursements in filing the bankruptcy petition. The usual fee is s35 or $50.
 From the schedules it appears that Hamilton owes only $550 which is un- secured and has no property to pay the same.

14 BARCES ARE
 JEOPARDTZED BY
 WESTERLY WIND

The strong westerly wind of last night put 14 empty coal barges in jeopardy off Bridgeport harbor and it was with considerable difficulty that the tugs which were towing them to New York, saved them from being wrecked. Several of the stout hawsers which held the barges to gether broke from the strain.
 The boats were finally brought into the harbor and made fast to the Blue Line buoy in the lower harbor. The tugs stayed with the barges through out the night so as to be in a position to help them in case they broke loose from the buoy.
 There are now P empty barges awaiting the wind to afbate when they will leave for New York.

 IS APPEARING
 IN R. R. STRIKE
Leaders Demanding French Railroads Be Nation
 alized

Paris, Feb. 26-Syndica1ism threat ems to appear in the French railway strike situation which is very grave today. Demands that all railways be nationalized are being made by strike leaders, who continue their efforts to stampede all railroad workers in the country into the strike, which began with the walkout of the employees of system. In the provinces the move ment is looked upon as revolution ary, instead of professional, by the authorities, according to the Echo de Paris
 All arrangements to ensure the de livery of food supplies to this city have been made by the government, and municipal officials have taken similar steps.
 The question of placing the rail- roads under military control as Pre- mier Briand did in 1910, is being con- sidered, but such a grave decision, the newspapers say, is impossible in the absence of Premier Millerand. It is said officials take the view that the Paris, Lyon & Mediterranean Com pany is entitled to the right to enforce discipline on it's system, and it vii! receive support from the governme ent, if necessary.
 The strike on this road was caused by the refusal of the road to reinstate in it's service men who were discharg- ed, it is alleged, because they absent ed themselves from duty to attend a union meeting.
