SMALL H0PE0F CEREALS FROM
 SOVIET RUSSIA

LONDON, Dec. 10 (by Associated Press) Hope that Europe may ob- tain any cereals of flax from Soviet Russia is entirely unfounded, says a circular from the Russian libera- tion committee in London, an anti. Bolshevist organization.
 The circular recalls that according to the food commissariat's plans. roughly 7,25O,000 tons of breadstuffs were to be delivered to the Soviet government by December 1 but, owing to the breakdown of transportation, the Siberian quota of 100000 tons can only be brought in with the great est difficulty while the Caucasian es. timated output of 1,75O,oo0 tons can not be relied upon owing to the mili- tary operations in that region.
 Quoting the Bolshevist Investia for the statement that up to October 1, only 100000 tons of various cereals had been delivered, the circular points out that it will be obviously im- possible to bring in the deficit of T. 150,000 tons by December 1.
 As regards flax,~the circular again quotes Bolshevist figures showing that the area sown in 1920 had shrunk to one-fifth of the pre-war area. The present crop was estimated at a mere 55000 tons, from which, the circular deduces, little or northing will be available for export.

HUNTING TRIP IN KENIA
 ENJOYED BY COUDERT

There is plenty of game of every kind in the Kenai country" said Frederick R. Coudert, when he re- turned to Juneau with F. R. Cou- dert, Jr., and B. T. Coudert, after a hunt of several weeks in that dis trica.
 MT Coudert reported very sue cessful hunt, having killed every kind of game in the vicinity-moose, sheep, bear and birds of various kinds and sizes. Poor connections and inadequate transportation facili- ties greatly shortened the stay of the party, and MT. Coudert said that is one of the drawbacks to development of western Alaska districts.
 MT Coudert is a brother of Mrs Thos. Riggs, and has been men. toned as the possible selection of President-elect Harding for the posi- tion of secretary of state in the new cabinet. He is one of the best known authorities on international law in the country.

Nenana News

NENANA, Dec. 10.-Commissioner and Mrs. c. H. Wilson arrived in town last week direct from the Kan tishna district. Judge Wilson said that flor a time it looked as if it would be necessary for the Kantish- naites to arrange for a private cleo tion, as the officiol ballots were very late in arriving. They reachel the diggings just two days before they were required.
 Delegate Dan Sutherland was giv- en fine support in that district, re- ceiving 27 of the 29 votes cast.
 Commissioner and Mrs. Wilson went into the Kantishna last March and this is their first trip out since that time.
 MT. and Mrs. w. J. Shannon are also recent arrivals from the Kan tishna district, having come in after stay of nearly nine months in the hills. MT. Shannon divided his time between hunting and prospecting ard brought with him seven large bear skins and a quantity of ere samples taken from his prospect. He will dispose of the skins in Nenana if possible, and take the samples to Fairbanks for testing.
 MT. Shannon worked for the con- mission at one time, leaving his po- sition to enter the service. After his discharge from the army, he and | Mrs. Shannon struck out for the Kantishna from Fort Gibbon and have been in that district ever since l Bobby Jones, former employe of the Alaskan Engineering commission, l passed through here last week from Fairbanks on his way to the states. He has been employed on Fairbanks creek during the past summer.
 Jack Bailey, timberman at the Healy River Coal Companys mine at Healy, was brought to town for treatment at the hospital for frac- tured femur, the result of being caught beneath a falling slab of coal. A special train was sent to the end of steel for the injured man. Telegraph Operator "Hi' Gill, of the local office of the T. & T. de. partment of the A. E. C., will move out to Healy and be located there hereafter. The local office will be discontinued and the Nenana connec- tion be used as an emergency line by the U. s. signal corps.

This you will rea1ize-once you
try Brupswick-that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifies that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter Of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build
good tire If he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
AL men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for ~ years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
1nents, plies and thickness are a
matter Of expense. And these vari-

with the maker how far he wishes
