To Advertise Alaska
(Cordova Times)

(Cordova Times)
Bureau officials at Washington are to be warmly
commended for the decision that a large sum is to
be appropriated for advertising Alaska, in
other manner the travelling public be attracted
This has been amply proved by the many American
and Canadian steamship lines operating to and from
Alaska who have collectively during the past twenty
years expended three million dollars in advertising
scenic attractions and industrial opportunities
Northland. Naturally cannot expect hear that
the government would appropriate a proportionate
sum annually for any such purpose but any expend-
ture in the popuous ceners of the East help
but attract attention to the Territory and at the
same time 1t will be helpful the Territory many
other ways The greatest care, however, should be
used by those who prepare these advertisements to
prevent any rush to the North of indigents, aborers
or others not possessing small amount of capital
with which to provide for their needs otherwise
the government would be greatly embarrassed in hav-
ing to send a ship north to bring such people out
For, years past Alaska advertising has dscour-
aged this particular class from moving northward
conditions are unlike any other country that the
only people desired from Industrial viewpoint are
those possessed of either the ability capital to in
vest and then develop To advertise the scenic at
fractions for the tourists and then the wonderful
opportunity for legitimate investment and industrial
development will of the greatest possible bene
fit to the Territory at large.

ALASKA FOR Al hSKANS

Alaska for Alaskans,' the slogan sounded by
the Territorial Delegates to the Democratic Ma
tiona Convention at San Francisco will find hearty
endorsement throughout the North. Too long has
il been in the leading strings of Congress, dependent
its within for recognition and its graciousness
small favors in the way of legislation and in most
instances meeting with tardy response to any plea
for liberal treatment.
Neglected in the platform of the Republican
party, the people of Alaska would like to feel that
at least of the big parties is of the value
OF their land to the country at large and has some
definite program for the upbuding of the North.
Alaskans would feel easier if both parties should
bind themselves hard and fast program then
whichever is victorious they could not lose
The outlook for the Democratic party since the
Republican convention however, is extremely bright
A progressive platform outlining a straightforward
policy supporting a progressive candidate will
doubtedly carry the country against the reactionary
platform and standpat candidate put forward by the
Republicans. And in this event an Alaska for
Aaskans' plank in the platform proposed by AL
askas Democratic delegation containing 4 pledge for
full Territorial form of government the Terri
tory will bring about realization hope that has
been long deferred but still is keenly alive in the

What Is the Future of
the Horse In America?

What is the future of the horse in
America? Will it pay the small far
mer and breeder to raise horses? How
will the tractor and truck affect the
big drafters? Will there be demand
for horses?
In The Country Gentleman of De-
cember 18th Stuart o. Blythe pre-
sents the answers to these important
questions. The war from the Ameri-
can angle saw a demand for almost
every farm product but the horse.
Meat producing animals were in de-
mand and it was profitable to raise all
classes of livestock except horses. AS
a result, there has been a severe fall
ing off in breeding. But the tide has
turned. "There is strong demand
in city and country today for good big
horses, 1862, or over in height, and

by traffic. A technical discussion
of each of these features followed.
The development of cracks is, ne
stated, the only serious objection
that has, to date, been advanced
against the construction of con-
crete roads. This he did not con-
slider material objection but one
that could be overcome by the
proper application of engineering
principles.
He answered a number of ques-
tions with regard to this phenome-
non. To the question when do
cracks usually occur?" he replied
that longitudinal cracks occurred
during any seasonal changes but
transverse cracks should in the
main, occur during the first dry
season. The latter he said, are due
to favorable combination Of mois-
ture in the contrete and atmos-
pheric conditions, together with a
restraint induced by the condition
of the sub grade, and may be
caused by an unstable foundation.
Longitudinal cracks are in the
majority of cases caused by an
unstable condition OF the sub grade
and by the causes superinducing
transverse cracks.
The best mixture, in his opinion
is one which is most dense and
which will reduce to minimum
the absorption of moisture, but il

form quality and placing in such

Planting Inferior Seed
An Expensive Kind
Of Carelessness

With all kinds of seed as high as
they are, the use of inferior seed
is a most expensive form of care
lessness. Careful testing of prac-
tically all kinds of seed has long
been urged by the United States
Department of Agriculture, and
special stress is being placed on it,
now that prices are so unusually
high. In the matter of clover seed,
for instance, attention is called to
the fact that comparatively cheap
seed may be actually higher than
those that cost more money, be-
cause of low termination. The
department, at various times, has
issued advice in bulletins ano
other forms of the best methods Of
testing seeds. This information
may be had free on application.

For The
Homemaker's Eye
Vegetables Should Be Crisped
Before Cooking

All green vegetables, roots and |
tubers should be crisp and firm
when put on to cook. If, for any |
reason, a vegetable has lost its
frmness and crispness, it may be
soaked in very cold water until it
becomes plump and crisp. With
new vegetables this will be a
matter of minutes only, while old
roots and tubes often require
MANY hours. All vegetables should
be thoroughly cleaned just before
put on to cook. Vegetables that
form in heads, such as cabbage,
caulifower and Brussels sprouts,
NAV be soaked with the heads
turned down in salted cold water,
to which a few spoonfuls of vine
gar may be added. If there are
any worms or other forms of ami
nal life in these vegetables they
will crawl out into the solution.
For best results all vegetables,
except the dry legumes, must be
put in boiling water, and the water
must be made to boil again as
soon as possible after the vegeta
bles have been added and must bt
kept boiling until the cooking il
finished.
If the most appetizing and pala
table dishes are desired, only fresh
tender vegetables should be cook

Giving the Riddles
Square Deal Often Means
"A Square Meal

The child fed improperly is not
getting a square deal in this world,
however much else may be done for
him by his parents. From start
to finish he is under handicap,
mentally and physically, when in
competition with those who have
been given the right kind of food.
Surprising as it may seem, sta
tistics show that the proportion OF
undernourished children in the
better homes is large, just as it
is in the homes of smaller in
comes. The food served in the
former may cost more and be IN
greater abundance, but it is quite
as apt to be unsuitable for a grow

Ex-Congressman Ex-
plains Legion's Views
On Military Policy

Former Congressman Thomas
w. Miller on Friday afternoon out
lined before the House Committee
on military affairs, the stand taken
by the American Legion on two
important phases of the future
military policy Of the United
States. Mr.. Miller is chairman of
the legislative committee.
The two important questions as
set forth in resolutions adopted at
the first annual convention in
Minneapolis were those of uni
versal military training and future
organization of the army.
Concerning the Legion's policy
on universal military training,
Mr.. Miller set forth that the men,
bers of the Legion believe the
country should adopt this policy
for it's young men as the only fair,
democratic and adequate system
of defense; that in this way the
country can maintain for it's de-
Tense a citizens army which will
be adequate for any national
emergency. The Legion, however
is strongly opposed to militarism
or any military caste. The train
ing should be taken by the youth
in their eighteenth, nineteenth OIL
twentieth years and should be fol
a period of not less than four ant
not more more than six months
during the first year, to be follow
ed by two weeks training periot
, each year for two years.
Mr.. Miller pointed out tn
t Legion's recommendation that tn
|, Air Service be made a separat
r department and considered as
t combat branch of the Army
}, There should be one army to ir
n clude: overseas garrisons, sma
e home force, training establish
|. ment and citizens army, inclut
l. ing the organized reserves and tn
f national guards. The nation;
q guard would form an integral pa
# of the citizen army. Training

10 should all be trained for that pa

Household Hints

Thaw out frozen water pipes
with applications of thick cloths
dipped in boiling water. Less risk
attends such process than is con-
nected with the use of lighted
candles or lamps.
Fat for greasing pans should be
kept in cup along with little
brush for applying it. This saves
the time used in stopping to wash
the hands.
Plaster of Paris has a variety OF
uses in the home, chiefly as a &C.
ment or filler for the repair of
household articles, for stopping
cracks in walls, and the like. Its
efficiency may be greatly increased
if diluted white of egg is used in
stead of plain water for mixing.
One part white of egg and two
parts water make a liquid suitable
for mixing. Thin glue may also
be used in place of white of egg
when eggs are expensive.
When plaster of Paris is mixed
it should be used Immediately, fo1
it hardens quickly. When it is de
sired to have it harden slowly, use
vinegar instead Of water; then i
will remain plastic for some time
after mixing, finally hardening thu
same as when water is used.
