GOVERNMENT R. R. IS TIED UP BY. VARIOUS SLIDES.
Torrential Rains Bring Down Earth Upon the Tracks
 To Anchorage.

According to adViceS received here this afternoon on the North western, torrential storms have hit Kenai Peninsula along the Govern ment railroad and numerous earth slides are reported to have occurred between Mile 48 and Mile 65. A train left Seward last Tuesday morn ing, and when the Northwestern left Seward Saturday night the train had not reached Anchorage. In fact. according to the officers of the Northwestern, railroad officials did not know exactly where the train was, as the land wires were also taken out when the various slides occurred 4
 The Northwestern had no passen- gers, none even from Anchorage owing to the interruption of rail road traffic to Seward.
 Glen Bartlett, of the Gastineau Hotel, received a wire late this afternoon from Anchorage stating that all commercial travellers were still at Anchorage and would come out on the Admiral Watson. The wire further stated that traffic or the Government railroad was still interrupted and none knew exactly when trains would be in operation again.

AUSTRALIAN SUGAR
 PLANTERS PLUNCING

SYDNEY, N. g. W-Australian sugar growers are going for their lives" they say in making large paintings this year for the 1927 sugar crop. If the pMptings pass the cyclone season safely>the crop will be one of the largest in the island history.
 Planters are anxious to put in all the sugar they can because the gov ernment has guaranteed a price oi thirty pounds sterling ton to them The government sells the refined sugar at forty pounds a ton and it reaches the retailer at six pence
 Australias 1920 sugar crop, the crushing of which has just been com pleted, amounted to approximately 104000 tons. which is 100000 tons short of the commonwealth's re quirements, a drought having cut down the production As a result. Australia this year will have to in:- port sugar, but next year should have more than enough.
 For the past year Australia has been getting sugar at the low price of six pence or twelve cents a pound despite the fact that it was much higher at times in other parts of the world The price of six pence may be lowered if the production is heavy this year.

The Right Thing

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

to be the popular card-payer. Unless
someone has requested you to give
instructions in the game and asked
you for criticism, avoid the post
mortem. After the game is over do
not turn to your partner and say:
why didn't you return my lead in
the fourth hand round?" or Didn't
you see by my discard that was
strong in clubs? Why didn't you play
them? The answer to these ques-
tions usually is that the player didn't
play the game as well as might be,
but most players don't like to be
forced to admit it. Nor do they like
to start an argument by asserting that
what they did play was better. So make
up your mind that when hand is
played, it is played. Don't bore those
who are playing with you by telling
them what II remarkable hand you had
after the hand is played. If they have
been watching the cards, they have
seen that it was remarkable, but, any
way, they won't be interested in hear
ing about it afterwards.
Don't complain of your bad luck.
When you do that the inference al
ways is that you ascribe your poor sue
cess to your cards and your op-
ponent's success merely to his good
luck and not to his good playing. Yet
there are persons who always. unless
winning, assure us that they are hav-
ing all the bad hands and that they
play very much better when the cards
favor them.
And here is an important "don't,"
Don't sulk If you don't win. If Won
are one of those persons who cannot
enjoy game without winning. Won
ought to put yourself on the list of
those who do not play, for, somehow.
when you show that you are not n
good loser, you reveal something in
your character that no one can nd-
mire. There is nothing so Indicative
of the truly well-bred person, as the
ability to take defeat. whether In cards
or in the affairs of business and social
activity. The poor loser we always
put down as being no thoroughbred,
If you do not play game fairly
well. do not accept an invitation to
play with others who probably play
better. If you see that you will be
comforting kindness by playing
when. perhaps, they need you to make
up n game, tell them quite frankly
that you play indltferently If, after
you have made this announcement. you
are severely criticized by one of the
players for some mistake In the cards,
you are quite justified in Withdrawing
from the game, quite amicably, of
course. after you have played several
hands around. You should not make
1t appear that you have been offended,
but may conveniently seek some ex.
cuse for dropping out.

! HOW DO YOU SAY IF?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"FURTHER" AND "FARTHER."

ID ROBABLY the best way of show
1 ing the difference between these
two words. in correct usage, is to give
examples. The following two sep
tences will illustrate this:
MY time is limited, so l shall not
be able to 90 further into the sub
ject." 'We have to travel ten miles
farther before we reach our destina-
ton"
1t will be seen from the foregoing
examples that the word further is
TO be used when the writer or speaker
intends to give the idea of quantity,
or degree, and the word farther
when the application is to actual dis
tnnce. Thus, do not say, San Fran
cisco is further from New York than
Chicago is" but farther from New
York" In the language of the gram
marianS. farther" is the comparative
of far" and further" is derived from
the old Anglo-SaXon word fore"

MS yearly dinner party.
All the others had and were now
waiting for an invitation from Mr.. Fox
before the ground was covered with
snow and food scarce.
But wise Mr.. Fox was waiting with
n purpose in view. and it was that Mr..
Bear should begin his winter nap be-
fore he gave his winter party. "He
always eats so much," said Mr.. Fox,
when thinking 1t over, that body
never has enough left even to make
soup. let alone a picked-up dinner"
And so while the wood folks waited
for the invitations to be out Mr.. Fox
waited for Mr.. Bear to go to sleep,
and every day he walked past Mr..
Bears house to listen for his loud,
deep breathing.

there was no use waiting any longer

Mr.. Fox coughed to hide smile
which he could not hold back and said ::
Too, bad. too bad; and | had planned
so on giving him nice treat. Well.
we may as well begin, then, for l am

Mr.. Fox had n big armchair which
he said was to have been for Mr.. Bear.
but as he was not there to use 1t, be-
ing the next animal in size, he guessed
he better sit in it himself.
1t was the plan he had all the time,
for Mr.. Fox was very fond of comfort
and planned to eat great deal that
night. as he had prepared things he
especially liked for the party.
But he had hardly seated himself
when the door opened and in came Mr..
Bear, all out of breath from running.
He was smiling and in his paw he
held the Invitation that Mr.. Fox had
put under his door. ~ almost missed
it, he said, when he got his breath,

shone on the floor just where the in

for good until you gave this party, Mr.
Fox. l knew you would be real dis
appointed If l did"
Mr.. Fox, of course, said that was
true and had to give up his chair to
the late guest.
Mr.. Bear did not waste time or
words. He began to eat as soon as
he was seated, beginning with the
honey, which he finished in short or.

There was not enough left for even
soup. just as Mr.. Fox had thought, and
as he lighted the guests out that night
he looked up ut the moon and shook
his paw. You are the meddling old

party" And old Mr. Moon smiled back
