A Good Deed in Naughty World
Dear Sir:
I know just how you feel
On getting back to work again,
Leaving the good old steering-wheel
And racquet for fountain pen.
l see you in the city room
Where copy-boys and callers surge,
Enveloped in purple gloom
From which you cannot quito emerge.
picture you as striving hard
To fashion verses full Of grace;
Art can't be measured by the yard,
But you must cover so much space.
So, since am lady scout
Doing one kindly deed each day,
send these lines to help you out
Along your literary way.
Perhaps you may not care to give
My efforts such publicity;
If so, am not sensitive
1t makes no difference to me.
And, since it's easy to condone
An error that is generous,
Forgive me if I've pulled bone.
Sincerely yours, ANONYMOUS.
In Boston and environs most Of the
non-weather talk concerns itsels with
Mr.. Ponzi, whom the mad wags up
Gloucester way call the Ponzi asino-
rum. The first day of the excitement
it appeared to many of the astute COM
mentators that Ponzi was an altruist
whose mission was to show up the
profiteers, and the same person who
told US that assured US later that any
body could tell the scheme was crooked.

Freckle-Face
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's chance, Miss Freckle face, to
try remedy for freckles with the guar
antee of reliable concern that it will
not cost you a penny unless it removes
the freckles; while if it does give you a
clear complexion the expense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-double
strength-from any druggist and few
applications should show you how easy
1t IS to rid yourself of the homely freck
les and get beautiful complexion.
Rarely is more than one ounce needed for
the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
IS sold under guarantee of money back

Fuel and lighting materials furnished
the greatest increase, IL per cent, due to
the increase of prices of bituminous coal
and coke. Recent advances in sugar and
potatoes were largely responsible for the
10 per cent boost given to the price of
foodstuffs. Prices Of lumber, building ma
tefial, farm products, chemicals, news
print and wrapping paper also continued
to rise steadily.

board for temporary use, so that the peak load may be carried. Now if this is a feasible proposition and can
 be carried out we can reduce those rates very materially without affect ing the income of the companies And I simply want to say that I ex- pect you to act, using all of the in- fluence which you posses to bring about that result, if that is the best thing to do. l am only suggesting it. That was the report of the con- mittee which I appointed, and it seemed to me to be sensible. What ever power we have in Washington to bring about that result will be used, because that seems to me to be one of the prime and essential factors.
 F'I am afraid some gentlemen in this room think that you do not grow anything much in Alaska. You know I was perfectly astonished There is farming area in the vicin- ity of Matanuska-acres and acres of potatoes, a great deal of wheat, oats and grass and all of that sort of thing, and there is still a larger area in the vicinity of Fairbanks. Things really grow there on a very large scale. l spoke today-and this has al- ready been referred tO-abOut the red-top grass that I brought down. When we got to Anchorage and this delegation met us, one of the gen tlemen stepped up and presented me with bunch of red-topped grass which I brought to your chamber of commerce, and I stood beside it and measured it roughly and found it to be about six feet three inches tall; and it grows there in the greatest quantity. And so they are prepared for the long feeding season of winter You can get any amount of grass for hay and it is very rich food. I am told they do not have to feed the horses or the cattle with hay when this grass is present.
 T do not think of anything else to say. I simply wanted to state to you in Q simple way the simple facts and the opportunity that is here. When I 20 back to my office in Wash ington I will take this comforting re- flection, that the enterprise which I see in Seattle, and with the con- sciousness on your part of responsi- blity which is plainly yours, and with the natural resources of Alaska-I go with the comforting feeling that the

 Secretary Daniels said in part:
 We have returned from Alaska with a new appreciation, the great act of the Andrew Johnson admins tratiOn. We found that there is more in Alaska than Santa Claus and rein deers. Admiral Rodman is now in Alaska with a division of destroy CTS navigating the channels of the inland passage, for a Pacific fleet that is not at home in Alaska waters is not Pacific fleet.
 While in Alaska the news came to Governor Riggs of the discovery of large deposits of oil and Admiral Rod man and that eminent geologist Dr. Brooks have gone to those sections of oil deposits. Oil, gentlement, is go- ing to be quite as important as coal. Before the war the geologists had studied the coal veins of Alaska and we had the information in the navy department that there was coal in the Matanuska section as good as the Pocahontas fields of high standard for naval purposes.
 When I was leaving Alaska I gave but one order, that we have a naval junction with Judge Payne's Alaskan Railroad Commission When was was leaving I said, paraphrasing the famous words of Dewey, Dig when you are ready, Downing And so Commander Downing is now digging coal for the American navy in Alaska"

 the fourth of March There ought to be no difficulty in removing the restrictions.
 But there is one other thing and refer to that today, you have got to . deal with the transportation problem; you have got to deal with it. ade- quately. People won't pay $75 or whereabouts, who have not got any thing-the kind of people who do the pioneering to go to Alaska, and then pay extravagant rates to send out anything they produce. You know we know very little. We were going over our railroad and we went to the farm where the government has one of it's experimental stations. There were piles of oats and wheat and~barley.
 "A letter came from a farmer con- plaining that he had purchased a horse ant" had shipped it from Seattle to Seward and from Seward to Matan- uska, which is the first farming sec tion that you find going north, and that we had actually charged that man $43.50 freight from Seward to Matanuska, 1907 miles, and besides that, he had paid the freight on the shir and the charges for feeding the horse. etc., etc., and it cost that man sSS,4S to get that horse from Seattle to Matanuska. Can you ever develop a country under these conditions? :? What do you suppose I did? We have a carload rate from Seward over the lirH which is pretty reasonable. I decided that I would reduce that less than carload rate to the. carload rate, but the delegation only asked that the less than carload rate be made the carload rate, plus 25 per cert-I issued the order at once.
 Now you have two steamboat companies operating out of Seattle American companies-to Alaska. Dur ing very considerable part of the season they run about 50 per cent capacity. During the spring and fall seasons when the demand is very large due to the fishing and moving in aEt out of people, they are not able to supply the demand. My solution is the consolidation of these two con- panies into one company, and taking off during the dull season of the un- necessary ships, and during the peak load period, if necessary, supply the number of ships from the shipping

CLEVELAND. Feb. 26.-A call to
arms against seditious organizations
and Bclshevism was sounded TODAY bv
the country's leading educators in
various meetings of organizations af-

Association in convention here.
J. P. CARRIER, Superintendent of City
Schools. Philadelphia, pleaded for
united efforts to combat radicslism.
"We must take wise and determined
stand against every form Of spurious
democracy" he said. "It is not that
pure Bolshevism is apt to appeal to
the American people, but liberty, when
Il tends toward license, assumes vari-
ou. insidious forms"
Urge Schools as Centers
Plans for combating Bolshevism

through Americsnization work in the

opinions to be expressed, but it is
more dangerous not to permit them to

sion is the seed OF revolution. Open up
he schoolhouses for public discussion
and develop the public schools into
peoples universities"
Teachers Unions Opposed
national organization of teachers
on a professional basis to Offset the
tendency Of teachers groups to affiliate
with labor was advocated by l.. D. Coff-
man, dean Of education, University Of
Minnesota.
"Affliation of teachers With labor
unions would be a blow at the founda-
tons Of democracy" he said. "For
teachers owe their allegiance as public
servants to the public and not to any
one class. This allegiance would be
divided and would open the way for
class control Of education and lower
