STRIFE ISBELNC STIRRED AGAIN
 IN ARGENTINA

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. II (by Asso- ciated Press) The Argentine prov inces are trying to form a combina- tion against Buenos Aires, the Capi- tai city. Overtures are being conduct ed between political leaders of some of the provinces for the formation of League of Governors" for the pur- pose of uniting the northern agricul- tural districts of the country against Buenos Aires and other coastal dis tricts. Some political observers see in this movement an attempt to re- turn to the former division of the country politically into opposing sec tions while others maintain that 1t merely is an economic measure hay ing as its purpose the protection of the productive areas.
 To Argentina, the city of Buenos Aires has the relation of the spout to the tea-kettle and practically all of the wealth of the country pours through it. It is at once the financial, distributing and political capital of the country. It is claimed by the lead CTS of the league idea, the city has disproportionate power and the north ern states need union to offset this.

PUBLIC HEALTH
 SERVICE IS AID
 TOSANITATI0N

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii (by Associ- ated Press) "A short-sighted view" was Surgeon General Cummings terse comment on the opinion ex- pressed at the bankers convention that federal aid should not be given to states for activities carried on in state and local communities. Tn health work, especially" said the sur geon general, 'it is extremely import ant to recognize that the prevalence Of communicable diseases in one part of the country is of very direct influ- ence on the people elsewhere. Thus the Investigations of the U. s. public health service have clearly shown that that the use of polluted water supply in some remote rural district has often resulted in extensive out breaks of typhoid fever in large cities hundreds of miles away; the presence of malaria in certain parts of the south has exacted a heavy economic 'OAt hAOAAi 1h0 Souhlly dS d WHOle, TOT example, by raising the cost of cot ton to the consumer; the northern investor has paid dearly for the con- tinued prevalence of hook worm disease in various parts of the coun- try, for where this disease prevails la Dor efficiency is seriously reduced"
 When the circumstances are care fully studied it is clear that the con- trol of disease is not merely a local responsibility, but a joint responsibili- ty of federal, state and local authori- ties.
 For every dollar of federal money spent" said Surgeon General Cum. spent" said Surgeon General Cum dollars worth of effective health work. Under the cost-sharing principles of the existing law, the public health ser. vice has been able to effect very great sanitary improvements at very minimum of expense. It is the judgment of all who have studied the results of this cooperative effort that the principle of the federal aid ex- tension under which this work has been carried on is not only thorough ly sound but has proven of the high est benefit to the country as whole"

MAGAZINE PRINTS
 CLEVER CARTOONS
 BY SEWARD YOUTH

In the December number of the Hunter, Trader and Trapper maga- zine are two cartoons, one of which cleverly portrays the feelings of a tenderf0Ot on his first bear hunt, says the Seward Gateway. The car toons are from the pen of Jimmie Hawkins, son of T. W. Hawkins of the Browne & Hawkins Corporation. The mere fact that a magazine of the type of H. T. r. ses fit to print two cartoons by the same artist in one issue of the magazine speaks well for the recognized ability of the Alaska youth. Both the pen pictures are signed Hawkins, Seward, Alaska"
 Slowly but surely the native born children of Alaska are demonstrating that they are capable of taking and holding their place with the children of other states. The blood of the men and women who blazed the trafTs throughout the great territory of Alas ka is the blood of a hardy and daring race and the mingling Of it has made the children of Alaska a strong, sturdy lot.
 Musicians, journalists and mechan- ics have developed in Seward and now, cartoonist. Statesmen and possibly future president are not impossible, when Alaska finally takes her, place with the other states of the Union.
