NE d The country more liyable. Both
farm men and women can belong. A
good idea OF the misunderstanding
that exists about the Farm bureau is
shown BY the remark last night Of one
miner. who said he could not belong
10 the Farm Bureau because he belo1sl.
ed 10 a labor union, Nothing Is far
Their from the truth. No man is debaf-
red from membership in the farm bu-
| reau so long as he Is anxious to help
promote agriculture and agricultural
life and TO help his nelghbors to live
better and make more money. The
! county agents work Is also much mis-
understood as was recently shown by
a local banker who. when the county
agent went out with him to inspect
his farm in this county, asked nun
what his fee was. This shows that a
great many people do not know that
the county agent. who is made posi-
bic by the county farm bureau, gves

tiraIy without charge.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAY
 CRUISE NORTH TO ALASK 4

President Wilson may be the first chief executive of the nation to visit Alaska. Rumor has reached Seattle that President Wilson intends to take the Mayflower via the Panama canal, Pacific coast ports and on a cruise in Alaska inside waters. It is said President Wilson wants to see sev- eral important coast terminals in Alaska as well as seek some place where he can be assured of complete rest as well as be in American terri tory.
 Alaska has never been visited by a president of the United States. Should the tip prove correct and the presi- dents yacht cruise Alaska waters, 1t would prove a great treat TOT the resi- dents of the North, who would flock to the different ports for first hand view of the chief executive. In par ticular would the Alaska natives stand up and take notice. It is doubtful if single native could be prevailed upon to work on his job if the pres ident was within a hundred miles. They would man their boats and go to see the president, The Mayflower could make the cruise from the Cali fornia coast to Alaska and return in about two weeks. Weather condl- tions are now ideal and with the powerful wireless equipment the pres ident could be in constant commumca- tion with affairs of state.
