COUNCIL VOTES TO FIX, UP CONVENT
 FOR FLU HOSPITAL
Two Suspected Cases of Influenza Here-City Will Take No
 Chances With Epidemic

{ With two suspect cases of influenza in the city, the municipal council last night voted to pay for the cost of getting the old St. Ann convent in condition as an emergency hospital in case influenza should become epi, demic here. The arrangement was a precautionary measure urged by local and territorial health officers.
 The building is detached from St Anns hospital. and would make an ideal isolation hospital for influenza, it was pointed out.
 Members of the council will meet Sunday with Dr. L. O.. Sloane, Terri. torial commissioner of health to de. eide on what form quarantine regu. lations will take, in case it becomes necessary to impose quarantine regu. lations in the homes.
 It is understood that funds will be available to combat flu in Alaska, through the medium of the American Red Cross.
 Congress early this week appro- priated S500000 to fight flu through out the nation, the fund being turned over to the public health service. Whether any of this fund will be available in Alaska was a matter that could not be learned today. Dur ing the fearful epidemic of 191S-19, funds appropriated at Washington were for continental United States only Alaska receiving no part of the money.

Teddy, the war dog with three distinguished service medals, recent coming out of the other side of his head, over the other ear. is getting along nicely and is following his master about again.

He was six months in a hospital in France, and carries scars caused by Hun bullets. He was dispatch dog. He was talk en from the hospital by two young men, and used by them and they were both killed in battle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
One way of reducing the cost OF
living is open to every man, woman
and child who can get the use of an
idle plot of ground. That way lies
through the planting and cultivation
of home garden-a Thrift garden.
War gardens played their part in the
great mobilization Of resources In
wartime-Thrift gardens now have
their own big job in helping house
holds TO feed themselves.
The reasons for Thrift gardens are
many and various. The same reasons
that existed last year and the year be-
fore still are present. Thrift gardens
will produce food where nothing other
wise would be produced, they will re-
duce family food bills, they will return
abundantly in proportion 10 the time
and effort devoted to them. But add
ed to these reasons is another one pc
culiar TO this year.
Less Commercial Planting.
Reports TO the United States de-
partment of agriculture Indicate that
the paintings by commercial vegetable
gardeners will be materially reduced
this year, because the commercial gar
deners see no way of obtaining enough
labor to conduct their usual opera
tons. The commercial gardeners
claim that they have paid high wages
in endeavOrs To keep up production,
but now have reached the point where
the returns will not justify the con-
tinuance of this expense. At least,
that is the report reaching the depart

TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING
Essential Preparation Consists of Pro-
viding Apparatus and knowledge
of Methods.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control is the
planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. Other.
wise. full crop cannot be grown
even under the most favorable wealth
er conditions.
Seed testing for practical results,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for maxi
ing seed tests consists of providing
the simple apparatus necessary and
of becoming familiar with the general
purposes and methods of testing and
the features of importance peculiar
TO tests of particular kinds of seeds.

OF making a daily circle tour cover
ing approximately 400 miles. Under
the new assignment the air scout
zone has been extended greatly both
to the north and to the south of the

Flying as far south as San Diego
and reaching to the north rs far rs

an ever watchful eye on the forests
in the government domain. By
means Of wireless equipment any

telltale smoke, reported to the near
est station by means Of wireless tele-
graph and Its career promptly ended
by rangers who rush to the location
In automobiles.
To make the service more effective
q private landing stage has been con-
structed nt Santa Barbara for the use
OF the patrol plane and complete
radio station has been installed
there.
On its northbound trip the air
plane covers the west end OF the An
geles and all of the Santa Barbara
national reserve. On It's southwark
light from March Field to San Diego
the east end Of the Angeles range
and all Of Cleveland Pass come un-
der the gaze OF the trained observers.
Since the adoption of the birds

porting forest fires more than half
dozen small menacing fires have been
detected. their location flashed to the

paths effectively blocked.
