The .Eaks' picnic held at his cannery at Aux Harboi last Sunday, was. made possible by his generosity as he threw the place wide open for the entertainment of the guests and did everything pos sible for their welfare.
 Among the other cannery men of Alaska he was honored as a master of the business and they learned from him the cannery game. Dur. ing the hard times of the past two years, other cannery men who have themselves been hard hit, often ex- pressed the hope that "old John l.. C." would weather the storm safely.
 Friend of Alaska
 MT. Carlson was perhaps one of the best friends Alaska ever had. With an opportunity to retire pleas antly in a fine home in the South, he preferred to invest his money in the North, where he made it, and he spent his last hours near the scene of his earlier triumphs.
 There is not a fisherman that hauls his nets in Southeastern Alaska today or a business man or private citizen who did not know John L. C." and who cannot tell something of his ability as cannery man or some instance of the bigness of his heart.

EDNA.

TT THERE was ever a name with
i out home or country antecedents
or parentage 1t seems to be Edna.
Etymologists record frankly nothing
In the case Of Edna. She seems to
have just appeared. Something about
her Is reminiscent Of the Morse and we
can imagine Valkyries or the daugh-
tiers Of Vikings bearing such a name,
but history fails to back up our fancy.
1t must seem then that Edna came
in some way from the ever popular
masculine Edward. 1t may, indeed,
be contraction Of the feminine form
Edwina. Such being the case Edna's
ancestress must have been the famous
Frau Uote, mother Of Krieminga, who
interpreted her dream and predicted
the early death Of her bridegroom.
She Is the original source Of Edwin
and from her came Auder. female
Viking, one of the first Icelandic set
tiers who was later known as Aida.
There were three famous Aldas;
one the wife of Orlando the Paladln;
one queen Of Italy 928, and another
n lady Of the house of Este in 1893.
The masculine forms, Edwin, Ed
ward, Edgar and Edmond, were -four
ishing in England, especially among
royalty, and the name Of Edward, the
greatest Of the Plantaganets. was
carried by his granddaughter to Por-
tugal where it's honor was well sus-
tanned by her noble son.
Edna's talismanic gem Is rightfully,
then, the royal ruby, which gives pow
er and courage and invincibility to Its
bearer. 1t is the king Of gems and
one who wears 1t Is assured kingly
qualities, so the old legend goes. Mon
day is Edna's lucky day, her lucky
number, and the poppy Is her flower.

REDUCE MILK FLOW OF cows
Serious Injury May Be Avoided by
Drying Up Animal Some Time
Before Calvlno.

Many good dairy cow is seriously
injured through poor handling before
calving. The best mixers have long
period Of milking. If not discouraged,
they will give milk in worthwhile
quantities right up to calving. All too
often they are encouraged. rather than
having anything done toward reducing
the flow. The consequence is not only
stunted calf. but freshened COW
that will never give more than three
fourths the milk she would were she
given six weeks rest. 1t is an easy
matter to dry up COW. Simply skip
a milking. Milk again. then skip two
milkings. Milk again, and then forget
about her. At the same time, omit all
grain from the ration for few days.
There is seldom any further trouble.

But over yOnder; over hills
You hear the evening whlp-poOr-wills
Their notes melodious, their trills,
Repeat.
The unseen singers sweeter far

They do not sing for you, for me.
They sing for all humanity
They are a part Of grass. Of tree,

And so in life, the pleasures there
Are greatest common everywhere.
We ask so much for our own ease,
We seek so much SO much to please,
Yet find our greatest Joys In these
We share.
We must tear down the selfish wall;
Our song must be comrade call.
Alone no happiness Is had
Each day will be increasing glad
If something to the Joy we add
OF all.
