PEP PARAGRAPHS

A fool is one who doesn't know what he knows
 Cold feet and hot heads frequently travel together.
 Pep is the salt of business; lack of faith is the bitters.
 Knocking gains nothing;s boosting gets respect, if nothing else.
 Don't run away from the truth; meet it squafely and overcome it.
 Worry never injured a fly, but a swat of the hand will kill the pest.
 If you're locking for a lonely man, find one who hasn't enough to do.
 Enthusiasm will blaze the way for any deal you want to put through.
 If you want to land a certain job, know more about it than anyone else.
 Cooperation is a fine thing, but learn to run under your own motive power.
 Don't let personal feeling enter business stick strictly to the merits of the proposition.
 Fish may be caught with a hook and line, but it takes real brains and persistence to land an order.

THE RIGHT THING
 AT
 THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
THE GIVEAWAY

A man by nothing is so well betrayed as by his manners-Spenser. T HERE are many persons who feel Il that mans table manners are an index to his general good breeding. If he handles his knife and fork in the way that is accepted as ''correct" they will put him down as well bred until they have very conclusive evidence that he is not; but if he shows ignor- ance of or indifference to this accept ed method then it will take much to make them believe that he has any claim to good breeding This may be unfair, but it is true. Here are some of the things that convention requires us to remember in our manners at the table:
 The salad is cut with the side of the fork and then eaten from the side of the fork.
 Fish, soft entrees and, in fact, any thing that does not absolutely demand the use of q knife, are separated into small pieces by the use of the fork, which is most excellent, as the knife at itS DeSt iS d li1pSt uIlSulHlS uteltSll
 That you should never mash your food with your fork and never sit with your fork or'knife upraised, like tee- graph pole.
 That when not in use, either knife or fork must be laid on the plate at one side.
 Never tilt your fork and knife on rhe sides of your plate, that is, with the handle on the tabecloth on either side and the tips on the edge of the plate.
 That every time course is removed you should lay the knife, fork or spoon used in eating it on the side of the plate.
 Do not cross knife and fork on the plate. but lay them side by side
 In eating soup, custard, fruit, or any dish which demands a spoon, be sure you sip the food noiselessly from the side of the spoon, never from the tip.
 Never dip your individual fork or spoon into dish that is passed to you, . but always employ the fork or spoon which will be found on the. tray beside the dish, or on the dish itself. All sorts of small relishes, like rad ishes, olives, salted nuts and bon-bons, are eaten from the fingers, but this must be done very daintily.

AIASkA'S FARM RESOURCES

The number of farms in Alaska in 1920 was only 364 an increase of 142 in period of ten years.
 The value of all farm property last year was $1,S08,661, an increase in the decade of less than $SOO,OOO.
 These statistics, vouched for by the United States Census Bureau, es- tablished the need, says the Seattle Times, for a new government policy designed to encourage the develop ment of the territory's agricultural resources.
 The doubt that now exists in the minds of some federal officials hail. ling from Eastern states, as to the farming possibilities of Alaska, is nc greater, points out the Seattle paper, than the skepticism of earlier Ameri- cans concerning the soil resources of the West
 At one time many questioned whether successful farming was pos isble in the prairie country.
 At least one statesman, ignorant of the riches of the Pacific coast, ex- pressed a fervent hope that the west ern boundaries of the United States never should overpass the summit of the Rockies.
 The total value of all Alaskan's s crops in 1919 was but $3939O2, but this figure does not indicate even re- motely the territory's agricultural possibilities.
 Leaving aside the area not now re- garded as available for anything save reindeer pasturage (although some day it may be too valuable as farm land to be used longer for the other purpose), there remains vast domain on which crops have been raised successfully, of good quality and in generous amount
 Now that the Alaska railroad is nearing completion means must be found to provide traffic for it in order that it may become self-supporting.
 Additional mineral development will be beneficial. Paper-making should contribute a big tonnage to the system. Lumber will furnish it's quota whenever oppressive regulations are modified
 But the hope of the future lies in agriculture-in the gainful tilling of the available acreage of the territory.
 The Harding administration can promote that development by mak- ing it easy for the small farmer to take up land and by assisting him to get started.
 Such policy would change the face of Alaska beyond recognition in ten years and would provide broad and enduring foundation for it's future development in every line.

Celebration of Sprino.

 Investigation of scholars has dis closed grounds for the belief that the event celebrated by Purim is none oth- CT than the coming of spring. The character of the festival is unmistak- able, in the belief of searchers. It's occurrence in the middle of the last month of the winter points to its be- ing the beginning of the celebration of the conquest of the winter by the youthful sun-god of the spring-as Marduk (MordecaD Is regarded in va- rious Babylonian myths.

pELAwARE's MARRIAGE LAWS.

The State Senate has passed Senator
Handy's BILL amending the marriage
laws Of Delaware. and forbidding GER
tain classes Of persons TO marry. These
are: first cousins. persons OF any degree
of unsound mind. habitual drunkards,
drug addicts. venereaIly diseased. di-
vorccd persons unless proof of divorce
is shown, past or present inmates Of
insane asylums, except in certain cases.
and persons on probation or parole ex-
cept on consent Of certain authorities.
Senator Handy is 10 be commended
for the interest which he has taken in
sociological matters. and because Of the
deep study which he has made Of the
marriage problem. He understands
that the future Of the race depends in
part upon the physical and mental fit
ness Of those who marry today. His
bin was drawn in all good faith. and
designed for the betternent Of our
social system
Although we approve Of the motive
which inspired Senator Handys action,
yet we would disagree with him upon
the necessity Of the enactment Of such
law at the present time. There are
always two sides Of these vexing prob
lens, although at first thought it seems
that only one can be the logical one.
But it must be remembered that Della
ware now has a marriage law which
is operating with effectiveness-with
