Aland leland.

Caught in the swirl of the minor war hurries that disturb Europe are the re- mote Aland Island, where Swedes and Films are clashing in manner suggestive of the erstwhile dispute between Jugo- Slavs and the Italians along the Adraitic, aeording to newspaper dispatches. The National Geographic Society has issued, from its Washington head quarters, the following bulletin on the Aland Islands.
 For more than 200 years the Aland Islands, which are situated like a cork in the wide mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia, have been a sort of Alsaee-Lorraine cues tiens between the .Swedes and the Rus sians After having passed back and forth several times they were finally ceded to Russia tn 1809. During the reign of Nicholas they were strongly fortified, move most distasteful to Swden because the island occupy a strong strategic position with respect to Stock holm, the Swedish capital, which is less than 100 miles to the southwest from Bomarsund, the chief fortifcation of the islands.
 "Phse Notifications were short-lived. In 1854, during the CriInean war Franco British fleet under Sir Charles Napier and Paraguay dHfliers destroyed the works and after that time the islands

 "The Aland group which is separated from the Swedish mainland by Aland Bay (Aland Haf) and from the Finnish mainland by Skiftet Sound. is composed l of some 300 islands and rocky isiets, the | total area of which is not more than $50 miles square miles. The largest is | land, Aland, 9 name signifying land of streams, is almost as large as all the others combined, having an area of 24T miles about twice the size of Martha 3 | Vineyard.
 l Cattle raising and fishing are the chief occupations of the 25.o0o people l who live on the islands. Some cereals i (barley and oats) are grown on the thin soil, and there are a few forests of birch, spruce and fir.
 | Finnish troops are reported to re marching through the streets of Marie ham. This attractive little bathing re- sort is the chief town of the islands having a population of 1,4e0. In times maintained between this port and Apo, the oldest and historically the most in- 1 teresting city in Finland. The voyage l from Apo to Marieham takes about ten l hours.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

As Independence day rolls around year after year, it is a cause for keen satisfaction that there is no evidence ! of a disposition to forget or overlook the great act of our forefathers in talk ing the initial steps which not only showed due resentment of the oppres- sion they had been forced to bear but which laid the foundation for the estab- nshnent of this great nation
 The action which marked the begin ming of our independence as nation is bound to go ringing down the ages as Q duty fully recognized. courag ageously undertaken and nobly discharged There can be no relaxation in the enthusiastic endorsement given to that wise decision sas the succeeding anniversaries roll sa-ound. Because it happened long ago and we of today knew none of the con- z5itions which it corrected doesn't mean that we can or should be one bit less devoted to the welfare of our country or in any degree forgetful of what great services were performed and . sacrifices made for our benefit
 q The Declaration of Independence was sssgned with due regard for what such an announcement meant. There was
 
 dodge the issue There was need of a nation where justice and liberty prevail ed for all It required a struggle to -zst it but those who recognized the need were prepared to make 1t and did so at tremendous cost
 Let us therefore have due regard for I1dependence day. Let us celebrate 1t by teaching and keeping alive the les son of that great loyal and patriotic demonstration which ended that period | of tyranny and established the land of the frse and the home of the brave.
 Wisdom and sanity g11ided the action of our forefafhers in that momentous undertaking and they should not be overlooked nearly a century and half !. afterwards in inc celebration of that event Young America will make no mistake by keeping other parts of his anatomy as well as his head intact

BLEACH FOR LINENS.

Here is an excellent bleach which was used hundred years ago, when house. wives treasured linens that were spun and woven from flax on the home farm: One pound of washing soda, one-half pound of chloride of lime, one gallon of water. Dis solve thoroughly and keep in large glass bottle. When you want to remove a stain place little of the bleach ina shallow dish and press down the stained spot in the bleach. Soak it for five minutes and immediately rinse the linen we'll in clear cold water. If the stain does not come out, the process may be repeated, but never soak the linen very long at a time.

RoMPERs FOR RIDDLES.

Rompers or bloomer dresses made of good quality unbleached cotton cloth and trimmed with colored braid. smocked with color or embroidered, are very pretty and stylish looking as well as most prac- tical. There is no danger of fading and the soiled places can be rubbed as much as necessary with soap without danger of running any color as is ant to be the case with most eolored materials at pres ent. These do not show the grlme as white materials and look well even when nearly worn out.

GRAVE WARNING ISSUED BY SEC
RETARY OF TREASURY GLASS
ON THE SUBJECT.
ECONOMY is NECESSARY
Government Is Now in Position to Pay
Up All indebtedness, II Care Is
Exercised and Congress
Makes No Breaks.

Washington.--Ano Liberty loan
will be necessary if Congress embarks
on new fields of large expenditure or
reduces the aggregate volume Of
taxes.r Secretary Glass declared in a
statement setting forth in detail the
governments financial condition. II
the present tax leve! is retained and
new expenditures are kept down. the
turn has come in the tide of govern.
ment financing, the secretary asserted.
Barring the congressional action
mentioned, Mr.. Glass believed the
treasury would be able to pay its own
way from tax and war salvage re-
ceipts. Although further issues of
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
may be expected, they will be re-
deemed from cash on hand rather
than through the sale of new issues of
certificates for the first time since
1917. The treasury secretary directed
attention to statements made early in
September. in which he expressed the
opinion that the strain had lessened
and that after Jan. the govern
ment's financial problems would more
easily be solved. s@
AS indicative of the progress made
by the treasury in solution of these
problems, Mr.. Glass pointed to reduc-
tions between Sept / and Jan. /, in
the nations gross debt and in the two
classes of certificates of indebtedness
outstanding, the gross debt, which
on Sept. l was s26, soc. .7O1 Gas, was
s25,837. .07S,S07 on Jan. 1. Reduction
in the floating debt numatured treas
ury certificates of indebtedness of
s622,653, ,250 has been made since Sept.
/, leaving the total outstanding OBJ
legations OF this nature at $3,578,-
4S5,000 on Jan. 1. A reduction of
$685.. .726.500 was reported for the same
period in the outstanding so called
loan certificates, leaving s1,326 ,661 900
Of these yet to be funded.
The loan certificates outstanding
Jan. 1 were of issues maturing Jan. 2,
Jan. is, Feb 2 and Feb. 16 All of
these, the secretary said, have been or
will be paid out of cash on hand Jan.
l, or from the proceeds of sales of tax
certificates issued in anticipation of
any one of four tax certificates in
stallments due during the present
year. Nr. Glass believes this indi-
Gates success for the treasury plan to
avoid further large funding operations
and for financing the unfunded por-
tions of the war debt.
