With the beautiful weather of the past week or so, many young folks are turning their eyes canneryward. They are already picturing a, summer to be spent among the fish and
 chickens" in some sheltered bay, with nothing to do but pitch fish, wrestle cans and juggle salmon cases. It is surely an ideal life "far from the noise and turmoip of the big cities on the Channel, and from the conversation heard at the present time the canneries will be swamped with labor this year.-Douglas News.

Imperialism.

BUENOS AIRES. May Mart n
Travieso, member of the Porto Rican
senate and who has temporarily
served as governor of that island
has been making tour of South
America and endoavorinC to allay
suspicious of Latin-Americans CON
cc"~in@ the Monroe doctrine,
Senator Travieso appea ! e d C
Americans in South America, in an
address before the American Club
here, to use their best efforts to
prove to citizens of South American
countries that the Monroe doctrine
was not the expression of an imper-
ialistic policy on the part of the
United States.
Mr.. Travieso said that the conduct
of the United States toward Cuba
and Porto Rico we're examples that
could be cited to show that the
United States had no imperialistic
aims.
Speaking as a Latin American, he
declared that it was very important
TO allay the unfounded suspicious of
many Latin-Americans that the
motives of the United States in main
tanning the Monroe doctrine were not
to protect Latin-American countries
from European interference, bui
rather to obtain political control of
them which would be to the benefit
Of the United States commercially.
He declared that his country was moi
only far more independent than any of
the states of the union but was vir-
tually an Independent state as far as
the administration of it's own affairs
were concerned,
perhaps in the future" he said.

 The Arkansas Gazette thinks that the state should complete the pro iects it now has rather than provide for an enlarged program. It says:
 "Practical and sufficient reasons exist for not enlarging our road bulld- ing program.

THE ROAD DRAG CONSCIENCE

The editor of the Rogers Post makes strong argument for road maintenance and says:
 "The great roa dneed in Benton county is the road drag conscious ness. A blind man can ride over a road and tell where the drag has been used and where is has not been used. There is no road investn)ent that brings such results as that of work with the drag. If the drag is used at the right time it does a work that cannot be duplicated.
 "We passed two farmers homes that owned their own drags and had dragged the roads alongside their farms. There was a neighbor who lived between them who had not dragged his road. It was easy to tell where the, line between the two farms lay.
 ssUntil better method can be found would it not be comn1endable for each man to drag the road in front of his own farm"

WAR INSURANCE
 CAN BE RENEWED

: To relieve any confusion that may exist in the minds of former service men on account of the special pro- vision of lapsed War Term Insur- ance which authorized reinstatement up to December 31, 1919, regardless of date of discharge, announcement is made by Director R. c. Cholmeley Jones of the Bureau of War Risk In surance, within IS months from date of discharge upon payment of only two months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, pro- vided the insured is in as good health as at the date of discharge or ex- piration of the grace period which ever is the later date, and So states in his application, still holds good.
 The provision that discharged ser vice men are permitted to reinstate at any time within three calendar months following the month of dis charge by merely paying the two months premiums, without making a formal application or statement as to health is also still in force.
 The provisions for reinstatement do do not protect man until he actual ly reinstates. If he waits he may not be in as good health as he was at hte time of discharge and con- sequently may not be able to secure reinstatement.
 Don't put off reinstatement. Do it now.
