THE LURE OF DISCOVERY

Stefansson, admitting that Peary serting that explorers are too busy to overlap one another, discloses nevertheless the magnitude of the task remaining before the Arctic re- gions, of which the pole constitutes but an insignificant part, shall be put on the map of the world.
 A million square miles-land, not water-is a conservative estimate of the area still to be brought within our knowledge, with the added pos sibility that much of it may be defi- nitely valuable for food production merly it was the spices of India that stimulated the search for new trade routes: then it was the quest of gold; and the hunt for furs, which could be exchanged for the products of the orient, was the first motive of the vOyagers, who came to the northwest coast.
 The settlement which followed was an aftpr-consequence, which suggests the possibility that even Crockerland may yet invite a race of sturdy pioneers who find the older countries too crowded for them. The type of men who fought Indians is not likely to be deterred by mere cold.

BURLESON, THE SHYLOCk

The postal savings system pays it's depositors 2 per cent on their money. It then invests tens of mil. lions of dollars of that money iu liberty bonds paying A per cent, represents profits to the system, which is one of the reasons why 1t is able to report that it is not only selfsustaining but can show a profit of over a million and a half year. Postal savings deposits are no more and no less secure than liberty bonds, and the rates of interest paid on both should closely coincide. There is little doubt that if the in. terest on savings deposits should follow the rates at which the gov. ernment can borrow money from year to year there would be tre- mendOus increase in the funds en- trusted to the government for safe keeping.

WHY TEXTILE MILLS HAVE
 CLOSED

During the recent campaign free traders tried to make it appear that the closing of so many textile mills was due to an effort to influence the election. Even certain admins tration officials were not guiltless in this respect No one of sound in telligence, however, placed any cred ence in these innuendos. The req son for the closing down was all too plain. It was due to lack of orders for textile manufactures.
 The lack of orders was due to a number of things. The jobbers were oYerstocked with textile goods and when the slump in prices began they hastened to get from under and threw an excess of goods upon the market. Then the falling prices led buyers to believe that the prices would go still lower and retail mer- chants bought for only immediate necessities. The most important req son, however, for the lack of mill orders was the huge impOrtations of foreign textile fabrics at prices which the domestic mills could not meet
 During the fiscal year 1919 there were imported into this country man. ufactures of wool valued at $13 3,279,- 481. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, the importations had increased to 43,537,552. Nor was the increase in value alone, but also the total imports of woolen carpets and rugs amounted to ,2S2 square rugs, while in 1920 they amounted to 1,099,132 square yards. In 1919 the total imports of women's and chil- dren's woolen dress goods amounted to 1,261,365 square yards, while in 1920 they amounted to 3,403,694 square yards. In 1919 cloths of wool, woolens and worsteds imported to- taled 1,561,993 pounds, while in 1920 they totaled 5,O95,132 pounds.
 In 1919 the total importations of cotton cloths amounted to 24,474,1 ,101 square yards, while in 1920 they amounted to 129,1s5, ,9s9 square yards. The total value of all manufacturers of cotton imported during the fiscal year was $34,762,723, while the total value of the imports in 1920 was sill, ,S73,S21.

FAIRBANKS YOUNGSTERS END PRETTY ROMANCE
 BY GETTING MARRIED

A romance begun in their early schol days When they were a couple of kids" was brough to a happy conclusion when Calvin Boyd Herring and Stella Nordeen Harring- ton were made man and wife, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 The ceremony was performed by Reverend Fred Scherer of the Pres byterian church, at the Manse It bration in Fairbanks. The immedi- ate family of the contracting parties were present; MT. and Mrs Edward A. Herring, uncle and aunt of the bridegroom were witnesses to the marriage contract.
 The departure of the brides moth er.~t0r Nenana with the prospect of a cruel parting of the young couple, temporary though it may have been, was the deciding factor which cul- minated in the ceremony. The youth full couple decided that there was no sense in waiting until they had graduated from school and accord ingly the necessary arrangements for the tying of the Hymeneal knot were quickly made. Boyd being minor, his dads consent had to be obtained before license could be issued and this was very readily given by Her, ing, Sr., who felt like his son did that waiting was not much good any, how
 Boyd and Stella were both raised in our town and are very popular members of the Fairbanks high school. They have a host of friends here whose felicitations they will undoubtedly receive as soon as their "escapade" becomes known. They will go into residence and will com mence housekeeping immediately at the former home of the brides par ents on lower Third avenue.

tion costs. We refer to the depre- ciated currencies of Europe. The market price of merchandise is based upon the currency of the country of production. The director of the mint gives the value of the German mark on October 1st as a little over one and one-half cents, instead of twenty-three and eight tenths cents, it's normal value in our money The French franc is given as six and siXty-seven hundredths cents, instead of nineteen and three tenth cents, it's normal value. The English pound sterling is given as of the exchange value of $3.4S, in stead of it's normal value of $4.86.
 If an importer buys goods in Ger many the market value of which is 1000 marks instead of paying $3S, as he would have had to do before the war, he pays only $15.50. It is no wonder that our imports are in creasing so rapidly and that, as a consequence, our mills are closing down.
 The people, by their votes, have shown that they want no more of free trade, but that they are for the building up of American indus tries and for the employment of American workmen. They have de- manded an adequate protective tariff and have issued to the administra- tion the mandate: Get busy on the tariff.'

TUESDAY FOR BIG DAYS
Running Races, Auto Polo, AeropIane Flights Lady
Band to Be Feature Attractions

All that is possible to do is being
done by the members Of the Butler
CountyAgricultural Society to make
the 10th anniversary of the Butler
County Fair the greatest and big
gcst ever in the long history Of the
fair Secretary NJ D. Urmston open
ed the offices of the board in the court
house Thursday morning, and his as
sistants are kept very busy receiving
entries for the various departments.
Mr.. Urmston says there never was in
the history Of the fai rso many entries
in the week before the fair as there
is this year Every mail brings in
dozens of them, and the local people
never responded or showed so much
interest as they are doing this yeal
Judging from appearance there never
was such display of fruits and farm
products at the fair as is going to be
there next week. This is due to the
enormous crops of this season. Corn
You never did see such corn as you
will see at the big fair.
Present indications are that outside
the big state fair at Columbus, the To-
cal show will outshine all county
fairs of the state Many special and
high-priced free attractions have been
provided by the fair board among
them being auto polo, aeroplane
fights, four bands, with Barberton's
Famous Lady Band on Saturday. Auto
polo is a new stunt for this vicinity,
and is already stirring keen interest,
every one being anxious to get a
glimpse Of this hair-raising ana
thrilling sport. Usually there is a car
or two smashed and a few players in
jured in the game, but that is what
the public seems to like and that
what makes this sport interesting, and
that is just what is going to be pa
on every day of the fair next week
Aeroplane fights will be made daily,

HELP WANTED"
Cry Is Stopped BY Metal
Trades Association

Cincinnati The local branch Of the
National Metal Trades Association,
that is opposing the wage demands Of
organized macbinists, has instructed
its members to discontinue help
wanted advertisements until further
notice"
These anti-unionists proclaim their
right ito run their own business, "
but their union now notifies them to
stop advertising until further not
tice."
The extensive advertisements, it is
stated, are of doubtful value because
they encourage the strikers and "busi-
ness is declining in all lines through
out the country.
The ants might also state that the
machinists are winning their strike.
In another appeal the antis ask
contributions for the home guard. In
his letter, President Dean says:
Il would of course be indiscreet to
put into letter everything l know
about conditions here, making it alb
solutely necessary to maintain the
home guard, but let me state to you
most emphatically that they are very
plain, very direct and very necessary. :
The machinists say strikebreakers
are garbed in the uniform of the home
guard for the purpose of provoking
violence, and that there has been no
violence and property is not endan-
gered because of the strike.

board never loosened up as it did this
year, but as Jack" Slade, president
of the board said "She's going to be
