'Twould Be a Good lnvestment,
 Dusty!
Luke Mcluke Says

II must kinda take all the joy out of things when woman attends a party with her third husband and finds that her first and second hus- bands are among those present
 A corset belongs on back. And when it isn't on the owners back voull find it on the back of bed. room chair
 A man may differ from you in poli, tics, in religion, in prohibition and in baseball. But he'll always agree with YOU when you start knocking the Hi Cost of Living
 When a girl threatens to scream if YOU kiss her, it is just like her father threatening to sue the Gas Company because it does not make his monthly gas bills bigger than they are.
 The trouble with a princess who is wearing new clothes is that she acts like nobody else ever had any clothes.
 The reason why she lets you do all the talking when you are courting her is because she is going to need Ill of her jaw power after you marry her.
 After man gets old enough he thinks more of going home to corned beef than he does of staying out with stewed chicken.
 No fat woman is going to take any exercise as long as the advertise ments show her how $l5 corset will make her look like slim princess.
 Whether a man is liberal with q dollar or not depends on whether he is handing it to his own wife or to some strange valet.
 Another strange thing is how an 18-year-old girl will be nothing but dimples when an 1S-year-old youth will be nothing but pimples.
 About the time you think you un- derstand women, you will begin won- dering why they would rather have blisters on their heels than wear shoes that are big enough for them.
 Another nice thing about being married is that your wife's second cousins from Hiekoryville get the idea that you are running a boarding house for rubes every time they come to town.
 We do not know much. But we do know that no undertaken ever has to work overtime burying men who have worked themselves to death.
 A girl can handle a cold in ihe head with handkerchief of two inches square. But man needs a sheet.

ALASKA ROADS TO GET INCREASE

While $322, 1000 for Alaska roads is not nearly as good as the S739.000 that was asked Tor by Ma]or Waugh nor as good the $442O0O that was rec commended by the War Department, it is whole lot better than the S100 900 that first agreed upon by the Military Affairs Committee Of the House ol Representatives. Major Waughs trip to the Nationai Capital, apparently, has gained for Alaska some s222,2O0, and that was worth the time and cnerg! required.
 The appropriation ought to be not less than $l,- GOO OOO and it should be continued at that sum for an indefinite term of years. And it would not be a hand out, either. for the Federal Government would then be contributing far less in proportion to the property owned and benefits derived than the other property owners in the Territory. However, let be glad that will have the $322.OOO this year, and let us ask for the million next year.

PACIFIC OCEAN COMMERCE MAY
 BENEFIT

That the low rate of European exchange and the comparative high standing of the countries on the Pacific will have a tendency to commerce on
 the Pacific Ocean to expand in proportion to the decrease on the Atlantic is the belief of perts. The extreme low price of the exchange of European exchange is discouraging the shipment of European countries is discouraging the shipment of change is at discount of about 90 per cent, which to purchase products of this codntry English importers have to pay practically 40 per discount in remittng the payment for them. German exchange is only worth about 6 cents the dollar, meaning that Germans would have to pay s15 to get $1 worth of American products Between these extremes the French, Italian and other change. On the other hand the exchange of Ja- pan China, Australia and other Pacific coun- tries except India, is sufficiently high pur- chasing in the United States inviting.

THE PRICE OF SILVER

e1The increase. in the value of silver is of the remarkable things Of these remarkable times A score of years ago when Bryan and the West asking for the free coinage of silver the ratio Is to Chat is. sixteen ounces of silver to ounce of god) they were accused of trying to get cheap money with which to pay their debts At that time silver was really worth not than 30 to 1, and it later went down almost to 40 to l. Now it takes less than fifteen of silver to be worth one ounce of gold-the ratio being 14 plus, to l. The man who paid his debts fin silver at the ration of 16 to now would be giving his debtors premium.
 The for this. however. is simple when one considers the events of the last few years the result of three important things. First of course the great demand for silver to settle balances in the Orient resulting from the great exports to Eur ope. Second, the decrease in the silver output Third, aud perhaps most important of all the action of the United States in compelling the Or iental countries to come to this country for their
