Chautauqua For Wrangell
 Next Week
Five Joyous Programs Each One of a High Order of Artistic
 Excellence

AhS iiot Siifao eodi uo SNCt ilCIo in Wrangell is scheduled to be given here September 9, 10 and II. The five programs will be given on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Season tickets which insure a big saving in the price of admission are be- ing sold by the local committee.
 Two years ago a Chautauqua committee was formed here and many of the same men who signed up then are on the committee this year. The first meeting was held Monday night when Leona V. Smith, Chautauqua represent ative, met with a number of rep resentative citizens at the hotel and discussed the possibility of holding Chautauqua here this year. It was decided that an at tempt should be made to have committee of 25 before definite arrangements were made. An other meeting was held Tuesday night and the larger committee organized, electing Leo McCor- mack president, and Dr. s. c. Shurick, secretary-treasurer. The Redmen hall was secured for the programs and all the arrange ments have been made.
 The Chautauqua is a form of entertainment that is absolutely first class and of an inspirational and educational nature. To be able to get it here where the dis tances are so great means a great deal for the town. Let every one support the local committee and enable them to make a suc- cess of the Chautauqua.
 Special prices are being made for the season tickets for chill dren who are in school and it is hoped that every child can at- tend. The dates for the Chautau- qua here are most favorable and will not interfere with school.
 The committee having the ar engagements and sale of tickets in in charge are: Geo. H. Barnes, Chares Benjamin, c. A. Black ington, L. M. Campbell, c. M. Coulter, c. R. Dobbins, H. w. Gartley, c. F. Hurley, s. N. Harvie, T. A. Hickman, Ole Johnson, Dr. A. B. Kearsley, E.. A. Lindman, Vim. Patterson, J. w. Stedman, J. w. Pritchett, Louis Schott, Dr. s. c. Shurick. T. s. Sterling, J. G. Grant, BY. Grant, P. c. Mccormack, Leo Mo Cormack, A. Vreatt, J. E. Worden.

were made by outsiders for lots and from less than three-fourths of an acre ot ground the Red Men s Cemetery has grown to about 5 acres, to date. Remember to clear an acre of heavy timber in Alaska means dollars but we stuck to 1t and in a short time the cemetery account will strike balance on our books.
 Don't think we live in a land oi eternal snow or ice, and entirely on the finny tribe. True, most of the eastern people think we are fish and some of them treat us as such, but we are good deal like other people and l am sure just as loyal Red Men as our Atlantic Brothers. In looking over las. copy of News from Headquarters l was wonder. ing if our official publication wa: experiencing any trouble with pa. per shortage. If so you migh' mention that s. E. Alaska has sev. eral acres of timber that would lool much better in pulp than to stanc and rot on the hillsides and yol might mention this to few of youl large Chicago dailies.

Worden Writes To Redmen's
 Magazine
Tells Some Things Wrange1 Lodge Has Done, and h. cidentally Gives a Boost to the Pulp and Paper Industry in Southeastern Alaska.

The current number of News from Headquarters, the official organ of the Great Council of the United States of the Improved Order of Redmen, contains a letter of greetings to the Great Council from J. E. Worden, Keeper of Wampum of Stikine Tribe No. 5, of Wrangell. Mir. Worden's letter reads as follows:
 Wrangell, Alaska,
 June 2o, 1921. w. B. Macferran, G. C. of R..
 Chicago, Ill.
 Dear Great Chief and Brother:
 Stlkine Tribe. No. ,, was organ ized on the 18th Sun, Plant Moon. G. s. D.. AIS, with 43 charter members. It was the first fraternal and beneficial organization in Wran- gell, Alaska, and it has never iost its prestige as the leading one.
 Wrangell, at that time, had a population of about 8oo, which was  about evenly divided between whites and Natives. It took considera ble rustling to get enough timber to organize a lodge and we found that in order to get enough members to secure a charter we must admit some who were over age and a spe. cial dispensation was asked for.
 The fire of 1oo6, which destroyed nearly all of the business section of our town. fortunately did not reach our hall and as the town gradually built up the Red Men s Hall became very important place as the lower room was the only place where the public could be en. tertained or school entertainments held.
 It might be of interest to some of our Brothers 10 know how a little handful of lodge members raised the cash to build a hall costing in the neighborhood of S6. 900. Well, we did not raise the money but we raised the reputation of being on the SQUARE and a public spirited citizen by the name ot Bruno Greif raised the hall and gave 1t to us at nominal rental of 5000 a month with an understand ing that if the lodge survived the giver, deed in escrow should be handed to the Trustees of Stlkine Tribe.
 This gave Stikine Tribe a star, that never stopped. We have had some difficulties 10 contend with and at times lost members by some wrong move but our chief difficulty resulted in picking up some unfor- tunate brother who was in our Hunting Grounds, injured or sick, taking care of him and then having hIs own Tribe refuse to pay even it's share of the expense. We do not offer this as an excuse for not doing our duty by the unfortunate, nor did Stikine Tribe regret doing its duty but it did lose some of our members and what was almost equally as bad, II nearly broke our own Tribe.
 Let me quote few things the Tribe has done fer Wrangell outside of furnishing a public hall. When we organized. Wrangell had no burial ground. Graves were scat tered all over the country. Cattle roamed at will over the graves of the whites as we'll as Natives. Stik. inc Tribe saw the necessity of re- spectable place for it's members to repose and the first thing 1t did was to secure a small piece of ground. clear it of timber and each member purchased a lot. As soon as the place was put in shape demands

Bulletin 1889, Selection and Care of
Clothing.
Immediate attention to rips, sew
ing on loosened buttons and hooks,
reworking worn buttonholes, and
preventive" darning are recommend
ed as means of prolonging the life of
a garment. The latter repair meas
ure consists of reinforcing a worn
place with rows of fine stitches or by
laying piece of cloth under it and
darning it down with Rawlings of the
material. The heels and toes of
stockings and socks especially may
be traeted this way before a. hole is
entirely worn through. Shortening
sleeves or trousers little to do away
with worn edge, or putting new
cuffs and collar or new trimmings on
a dress may often add months to the
life of garment.

DYING PLANTS.

Careful observation has shown that
plants pass through a death spasm at
the instant which they cease to live.
A delicate apparatus has been de-
vised which enables one to watch this
movement. All sorts of plants have
been observed. 1t is found that the
petals of a marigold constantly move
up and down at the moment it dies.
Some of the large garden daises fold
up their petals, while others fold
them downward. In some cases the
petals are convulsed and tremble vio-
lently. The water in the stalks of
flowers is often suddenly thrown out
by the contraction of the plant when
it dies 1t is also found that a plant
when dying fails to give any electri-
cal response at the moment Of the
death spasm.-Boys' Life for Febru-
AIRY.

Tear ROUND GARDEN
FOR EVERY FARMER
MAKE THIS YEARS GARDEN
WORTH WHILE.
By E. o. McMahan, County Agent.

1t is very important that we far
Eners raise our supplies at home this
/. year so as to keep the cost of pro
6ucing the 1921 crop as low as posi-
ble. One of the first essentials to
living at home is to have a real gar
Men-one in which the soil has been
properly prepared, fortified and cul-
&ivated, and one that furnishes sue
session of vegetables during a goodly
portion of che year.
1t is not the purpose of this article
TO give any detailed instructions as to
how best to handle garden, yet
would like to bring out the point that
to have the growing of vegetables in
abundance, but the growing of them
throughout the greater part of the
year. 1t is true that vegetables can
be canned, but there is no necessity
for eating canned vegetables during
the summer, if the garden is handled
properly. In fact, / feel that is is
almost as important to plant sue
cession of vegetables as it is to plant
a garden at all. The planting of
few vegetables early in the spring, to
be followed after they are harvested
by crop of weeds and grass, is
common practice, but nevertheless
such practice does not result in
real garden.
Not only does the garden pay from
the standpoint Of dollars and cents.
but it is an acknowledged fact that
the addition of fresh vegetables to
the diet helps. to keep the doctor
away. The person who consumes a
comparatively large quantity of veg
etabies and does not depend entirely
on a meat and bread diet, is usually
the one, other conditions being equal.
that escapes the attention of the doc
tor 1t therefore follows that from
the standpoint of good health, if
nothing else, the garden is well worth
the time and expense of making it.
Another point which we may en-
phasize, is that as rule the best gar
dens are found near the house. Here
1T will be cultivated more, cultivated
better, and will receive more atten-
ton from every standpoint.
In any farm home where there are
four, six or eight people to be feed,
an average sized home garden can be
made to save couple of hundred dol
Lars per year. In making this saving
1T is not necessary to place unreason-
able value on the garden produce, for
If the vegetables are figured at the
lowest market price, it will be found
that the amount of vegetables con-
=sumed, provided the garden is a good
one and is properly attended to, will
amount to far more than 5000. per
year.
For these good reasons the writer
feels that every farmer in Cobb coun-
ty should make up his mind right now
TO have good garden this year,
Have it near the house, prepare it
well, fertilize it we'll, cultivate it we'll
land plant succession of vegetables,
start right away and plant not only
during the spring, but on into the
summer and fall. Such garden is
a splendid investment for it brings
not only profit but pleasure as we'll.
