UP WHERE THE NORTH
 BEGINS

(By Hattie Belle Burrell Erwin) Alaska, empire in the making!
 Up where the North begins, Where opportunity's day is breaking,
 Up where the North begins, Where snow-capped peaks pierce the
 blue of the sky And low-hung clouds on their bosoms Rocked by the ice-wind's lullaby
 Up where the North begins. Mighty glaciers, centuries old,
 Up where the North begins, Silently sleep in the sunlight's gold,
 Up where the North begins. Rivers and lakes. that are clear and
 deep,
 Filled with the fnny tribe that keeE The sportsman from getting a wink
 of sleep, OD Wn0rS LuG NOILu U6SIu0. Deep in the hearth of earth, frozen and
 cold,
 Up where the North begins, Lie heaped-up stores of copper and
 gold,
 Up where the North begins. Vegetables, larger in growth, I ween Than any cheechaco ever has seen; Bright flowers cover the valleys green
 Up where the North begins. High upon barren mountain and hill
 Up where the North begins, The moose and caribou roam at will,
 Up where the North begins. And bald-faced grizzlies live and keeI An eye on the feet-foot mountain
 sheep, That in rocky cliffs their vigils keep
 Up where the North begins. The souls of men are staunch and true Up where the North begins, And give a hearty greeting to you,
 Up where the North begins. The wandering guest by the freside knows
 That kind of a welcome in this lanG goes
 And the spirit of brotherly kindness grows,
 Up where the North begins. The earth like a gleaming crystal is hung, Up where the North begins, And pictures at night on the sky are
 flung,
 Up where the North begins, Where brilliant stars softly caress The regal mountains snow-white
 breast, And silence wraps the world to rest
 Up where the North begins.

GERMANY "INsULTED.- .-

Ambasstdor Wallace did the per fectly proper thing in refusing to meet the Ambassador Of Germany in q social way He tried to avoid the un- pleasantness the act would cause by suggesting that the man who asked il Inc could present the German. to forget it."
 The German insisted. Then our Ambassador. in quite as American n fashion as he had adopted in the colloauial words he had used at first replied Troll him I refuse to meet him."
 The function at which the affair took place was quasi-officiaI with the sociRl side technically prominent but with the possibility Of having the official aspect of the Incident empha- sized. The only proper way in which the Ambassador from this country could meet the German Ambassador was officially. not in a friendly man. ner-or not in n way indicating any friendly feeling on the part of the government he represented
 The United States Is still techni- cally at war with Germany. The ac- tions of our representatives should and will be, tt Is hoped. in accordance with this situation.
 Now comes the Pan-German organ Tages Zeitung. and wants the resigna- ton of tho German Ambassador. in view of his conduct in not resentinr tho insult" and in protest agains, what happened. In its statement the paper refers to the honor of the Ger man people.
 From many sources come stories | differing absolutely in subject matter but all bound together by one under. | lying plan. IL is intended that a Mon. Iarchical party will be established there. The attitude of the paper mem | toned Is but an example. Plans sug. guested to form great army under General Pershing. Foch or somC non- German. to fight Bolshevism. first capturing Warsaw. have a suspicion, | look.
 | Ever in the actions of many of the leaders in Germany there remains the same naughty defiance which not only we. but all the world must ever guard against.

private citizens to arm themselves came only three days ago. The habit may. in time. become popular if the crimes do not become less frequent. It may even become a fad.
 Hut mort earnestly il is to be hoped that no such situation will obtain. A general issuing of permits to carry fire arms. or q lcssoning Of the strictness with which the character Of the ap- pticant is investigated. would bring re- suits far moro serious than the epi- demic of crime now reported. Men of tho most innocent intent might be led into the commission of homicide to say nothing of the danger that would come from other classes of persons now living on the extremely narrow line between violence and sullen obedience to law.
 There should be no permanent let- up in the strict enforcement of the law against carrying concealed weap- ons.

HARD KANSAS

Evidently there IS one spot on the earth where Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men" is not the motto today.
 Some Kansas people have sent cigarettes to President-elect Harding and to the disabled soldiers at Camp Funston. Perhaps it was the small ness of the size of the gift that is objected 10. At any rate prosecution of the scnders Is demanded in Kansas. and some Of the donors are women, too.
 IL is quite possible that some of the good people of Kansas believe it would not he safe to have a President of the United States who used cigarettes.

\ NEW START.

January frst is the day usually set for the good resolutions made often only to be broken.
 This year is a good one for changes. Why not make Christmas Day the time wen the new start in life is to be made? There is nothing sa- cred about the first of a new year. There is the essence of sacredness about Christmas Day.
 On Central Park will stand the big tree that has delighted many for years. In its glowing lights may we not see something of the Star that should keep on shining all through the year to remind us of the reso- lutions we made the day it showed forth in its greatest splendor-to: nor row. The chimes of old South Church still ring-may we hear in their echo that same reminder.
 In churches and at the Boys club and other organizations Christmas festivities will be held. The city will be awake to the day. Let its signifi- canoe be not forgotten in the joyous times we will have.
 And in the homes may those new resolutions to make the most of the coming year be solemn-and may they be kept all through that year which is before us.

ASK S2,0O0,ooO INCREASE

State Aid for Public Schools Will Be
 More This Year if Proposed Mea-
 sure is Adopted.
 Hartford, Dec. 24.-Increases ag- gregating $2,000,0O0 in the state aid for public schools will be sought in legislation proposed by the Connecti- cut State Teachers Association, and endorsed by the state board of educa- ton. If successful, such legislation would boost the biennial state budget of state aid tor schools to a figure in the neighborhood of $5,00o,000.
 The s2,000.OO0 increase will be sought by proposed amendments to two educational acts now on the statute books. the greater part on the law granting various degrees of state aid to towns for teachers salaries in proportion to the total of the grand lists, and lesser part on the average attendance grant bill.
 The proposal is to increase from B to s4 the amount allowed towdns for each pupil in average attendance. four dollars was amount fixed in the bill presented to last regular session of the Legislature, but it was reduced by the appropriations committee to $3.

SKATING ON THE NORTH END
 PARK.

The following information is offered the public 10 correct any wrong inn pfessions which may be entertained Tn regard to the skating pond at the Stanley Quarter park.
 In recent issue of one of our pa pers. the statements were made that boys had manipulated the flood gates so that a portion of the park was well flooded and furthermore that the park employees had let the water out thereby depriving thousands of people from skating.
 In the first place the boys had nothing to do with closing the flood gates tso called) the park emploves took care of this; and the lake thus formed was filled to the overfiowing point. Everything was in readiness for a good freeze.
 Soon afterwards our park funds ran very low. and it became apparent that unless we were provided with more money right away we would have to abandon all park work until April first. and as for a short period it did not look though we would get any more funds we made all preparations to close up our depart ment completely and go out of bus mess as it were.
 Tn llne with our other retrench- ments we opened the valve at Stan ley Quarter park to empty the pond and this had partly run away when we were assured Of more money. At the present time the\ pond is nearly restored and the first freeze wal give back to those thousands their skating pond.
 No mention seems to be made what lot of trouble boys caused us last | summer when they plugged the drain pipe with an ice cream can nor what an expense it was to the city to dis lodge it.
 Whether the pond is filled with water or is empty the park commis- < sioners have good reasons for the con- 1uxf fnoinnhlic will only call

cigarettes or not. will have whatever he likes to follow his Christmas din- ner. The cigarettes may not reach him.
 And 1t is to bc hoped sincerely that the disabled soldiers at Camp Funston will not have to undergo the craving for cigarette-a habit possibly ac- quired while they were fighting Sn France for this country of ours-in addition to the other physical pain that is theirs.
 Seriously. however. as it is against the law in Kansas to sell or give away cigarettes to anyone. minor or adult. the Attorney General wa g obliged to investigate. Probably. he is as sorry as others that Senator Hard ing may not enjoy this expression of good will and that the boys at Fun ston will not see. through the smoke of a cigarette. the sympathy of some of tho people of Kansas for them. and the appreciation held in the little. paper-wrapped bits of comfort.
