SOUTHERMOST CITY
 TO HAVE FESTIVAL

Buenos Aires, Aug. 9SThe fourth centenary of the discovery of the Straits of Magellan will be celebrated at Punta Arenas, Chile, the south ernmost city of the world, between Nov. 23 and Dec. 10.
 An invitation has been extended to the King of Spain. who sometime ago announced a proposed visit to South America, to be present, and a monu- ment' now under erection dedicated to the explorer, Ferdinand de Magellan, will be unveiled. In spite of it's having been known to modern na- tions for four centuries, southern South America, which is called Pa tasonia, "the land of big feet" and which took it's name from the legen- dary giant stature of it's inhabitants is still very sparsely settled.

BUFFET CAR
 MAKES A HIT

Anchorage, Alaska. Aug. 9-veter- an 'sourdoughs," who used to pay s2.50 a plate for pork and beans without a murmur and to whom ham and eggs were a sure-enough luxury, take keen comfort in the buffet car recently placed on one of the trains operating between Seward and An chorage. Tourists who have dined on Uncle Sam's rolling kitchen talk about, the menu for a long time there after.
 For an elaborate dinner of fresh mountain trout with a rasher of ba- con the modest sum of 1.25 is ask ed. Boiled or fried Matanuska po- tatoes are sold for IS cents an order; grape fruit oranges and other fresh fruits are. served for 25 cents and coffee costs 10 cents a. cup. Meats are naturally trif1e' higher than the. are on the "outside,' on account of the high cost of transportation but, Alaska railroad officials believe, it will soon be possible to obtain home grown meat in abundance.

DIFFICULT TO -... GAIN ACCESS
 TO GRIFFITH

Dublin, Aug. 9-Arthur Grifith editor of Young Ireland and the political head of Sim Fein, is said to be one of the most isolated and in- accessible men in Ireland. The few visitors daily received by him say they are Impressed by the unpreten tiousness' of his surroundings. He is as difficult to see. they say, as any big American political leader.
 No person not known to Griffith may visit him in his office without previous arrangements made by some one high in the confidence of Sim Fein. The situation is much the same as a stranger attempting an in terview with a cabinet officer at Washington.
 Relieved that the irksome prelimi- naries have ended the stranger is taken down side street, ushered in to an unimposing doorway and led up two flights of narrow, unpainted steps to an office. Inside the front door the stranger is confronted with a pine board partition with one small door through which he is taken. He passes through a scene familiar in any sma1l-town newspaper into an uninviting room where Griffith holds forth. Tie furniture consists of a table in the middle of the room and a few chairs.
 There is no necessity now or mas there been for many months for Griffith to surround his movements with secrecy. It has been stated that a warrant for his arrest is ready but many leading Sim Feiners believe government officials consider him a moderating influence and worth more directing the party's activities than looked upon as a martyr in jail Griffith is as unassuming as his surroundings are unpretentious. To one who does not express convictions on the Irish question and therefore safety does not have any, Griffith leaves outstandingly the impression that he has ceased to believe any English government in Ireland exists. The one idea left is that the Republi- can government is ruling the coun- try properly but having some difficult with an army of occupation and a number of policemen.
 z "Our volunteers are maintaining a5crder where representatives of the British government could not, our courts are organized and respected and other branches of our govern ment are working smoothly said MT. Griffith to a, correspondent.
 Griffiths sphere is only political, the planning and execution of force 'of arms being under Jurisdiction of the Volunteer army.

The hedging of provision Espnob- ably more universal than that of any other commodity because the packer or the owner of the pork products having them stored, is at all times fully protected and can seil them for delivery in any month to come, the principal trading months being January; May. July, September and October.
 This inspection service is avail- able to the public upon payment of the regularly established fees. The inspector opens five out of every 25O barrels of mess pork in order to ascertain whether the contents are cut and packed properly. Holes are bored in every lard tierca and samples taken, the holes after- wards being plugged. A long da9- ger-like tryer is stuck into hams and cured meats and the condition judged by odor.

counterfeit stamps and we have ar rested three gangs already for doing it.''
 At present the main problems of the Secret Service, however, are to check note-raising, which Chief Mo- ran says has increased to an "alarm- ing extent in the last year and the forgery of of-government checks, which he adds "has become almost an epi- demic.'
 Records of the Secret Service show, according to MT. Moran, more arrests and investigations during the last year than for any similar preceding periOd.

CANNOT EXIST
 IN SOVIET RUSSIA

and forty-eight Swedes, including 30 women and children, have arrived here by steamship from Russia
 Workmen in the party were un- animous in saying that 1t is impossi- ble to exist in soviet Russia. Despite the extravagantly high wages paid they said they were insufficient to purchase necessary food and cloth ing. The arrivals included a number of Swedish Bo1shevist metal workers who, some months ago, set out for Russia amidst the cheers of their friends. Some of their countrymen, they said, had been detained in Rus sia against their will.
 The only food ration now distri- buted, the men said, is half a. pound of bread. Fish, horsemeat, sugar, butter, tea and other food can only be obtained they said, through i1legi timate trading at incredible prices. A daily income of thousand rubles, one returned worker declared, would not. be sufficient to avert hunger. Most industries have practically ceas- works. having closed months ago af- ter vain attempts to keep it going.
 Chancellor Oscar Lundberg, semi official representative of Sweden, said all foreign legations have been raid ed and footed and looked like stables after having been in pos session of Bolshevist soldiers or sail ors. All of the members of the party said they were i'll as a result of the privations they had experienced.

as provisions.
 The packages and contents are all inspected and the condition of the contents certified so that the buyer may accept lard. mess pork or dry salted ribs in any quantity in perfect confidence and security without ever having seen them. The warehouse recei-@s for these commodities are the best col lateral at the bank. Were it not for the protection thus given, the packers would be compelled to de mand a much wider margin in price. In no other way can an in definite number of hogs be absorbed every day regardless of the best market.
