A HEALTH" REPORT

Reports from the north that the usual tempest in the teapot over fed erai appointments under President Harding is rapidly reaching fever point, indicates the boys north are in good health. Fortunately for the past few winters the flu has furnished the fever. Now with the flu gone, the northerners can get up to 1O4 fever point over politics,
 The heavyweight event appears to be the title march between George c. Hazelet and James Wtckersham for the governorship. Bookmaker Mo Bride wrote his slate with Hazelet at odds on. Tn fact Mcbride indicated Wickersham was. selling in his book at any odds. The Wickershamites inn mediately claimed a foul in weighing in, and other fouls permissible under the usual rules governing Alaska ssap- pointments.
 The squabble over the governorship in Alaska reminds the Dispatch of the old story regarding Alaska appoint ments. Word reached Seattle that a certain man had been nominated by the president for judge in Alaska. An Alaskan politician immediately wired another politician at Washington as follows "Who in hell is so and so? File charges against him at once."
 Senator Harding is reported going to take a six-weeks' rest after some days of trouble caused by adverse comment over cabinet possibilities. When the Alaska storm breaks on Washington about March 4 Senator Harding is going to wonder if all the really bad men of the west went to Alaska. It is a shame the Alaskans have to do it, but it has happened so often that it has become habit.
 The Alaskan aspirant for office must fight like the devil to get an appointment, and then fight the devil to keep it. It is case of "be damned if you do and damned if you don't. t."-Alaska Dispatch.

THOMPSON KNOWS MORE THINGS
 THAN ARE IN THE WORLD

w F. Tohmpson-"Wrong Font" Thompson, they call him because he is print shop man and those are his initials--runs the Fairbanks News Miner, and he Is a wise man. There are not many things in this world that he doesn't know, and he knows more than that--he knows what hell is. We know that he knows 1t De- cause he says he does and because, he says his experience has proved it. And he has set down in his paper the circumstantial details of the proof. Here they are:
 Yesterday it was 92 degrees be- lw zero in the News-Miner office. or about 35 degrees colder than 1t was in the street, and we had the time of our lives getting out the first issue of the 7-column daily.

 "Of course, we are willing to allow for difference in tastes. Some peo- pie like something else again, and so on, but when it comes our time to go to hell we will know just what we are going up against-we will be stood up on an ice-cold floor, with a million square feet of ice-cold air coming up through the cracks in the sloor in ju- dicious distribution, given an ice-coId "sttck" and case of type colder than Ice, and billion galleys of even cold er type to throw into the forms and makeup made of ice to go at it with, be chained to the job and have to go through for time immemorial-or i'm. moral, we don't know which-and niere we will rise and shine, day af-

Sometimes the people of Alaska would seem justified in saying with Artemus Ward, We are governed 2 hutch" The territory has never suf- fered from any dearth of federal regu- lations from the days of Seward s Folly" down to our time. There is a happy medium between the contemp- tuous neglect of sixty years ago and the excessive bureaucratic paternal- ism of the present. It is not more red tape that is wanted 'where the dark ened fifties dip to the north" It is national scientific management which avoids overlapping jurisdictions and allows of the proper use of capital in promoting industry, while curbing the profiteer.
 In the fifteen years from 1903 to 1918 the value of Alaska's exports grew from twelve to seventy-five mil, lions of dollars. The natural resources except for gold, are still for the most part in the pioneer stage of develop ment. Alaska is to be incalculably more valuable in the future.
 Charles F. Curry, chairman of the house committee which has to deal with Alaska, is right in his insistence on the enormous importance of a ra' tional scheme for dealing with such vast and multiplied interests as Alas ka represents-Ketchikan Chronicle.

 Will surely find some day
 That for that naughty act of his
 He'll surely have to pay.
 That was the way with Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Of course, he had no business to steal corn from Farm CT Browns corn-crib. To be sure. he felt that he had just as much right to that corn as Farmer Brown had. You see, the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest feel that everything that grows belongs to them if they want it and are smart enough to get 1t before some one else does. But it is just there that Chatterer went wrong. Farmer Brown had harvested that
 corn and stored it in his corn-c crib
 and so, of course, no one else had any right to it. Right down deep in
 his heart Chatterer knew this. If he
 hadn't known it he wouldn't have
 been so sly in taking what he wanted. He knew all the time that he was stealing, but he tried to make him. self believe that it was all right. So he had kept on stealing and stealing
 until at last he was caught in trap, and now ne had got to pay for his | wrongdoing.
 Chatterer was very miserable, so miserable and frightened that he | could do nothing but sit huddled up
 in a little shivery ball. He hadn't the least doubt in the world that this | was his very last day and that Farmer Browns boy would turn him
 over to cruel Black Pussy for her
 breakfast. Farmer Browns boy had
 left him in the trap in the house and | had gone out For a long time Chat l terer could hear pounding out in the | woodshed and Farmer Browns boy whistling as he pounded. Chatterer
 wondered how he could whistle and
 seem so happy when he meant to do

A roast suckling pig is excellent for New Years dinner. There Is nothing more satisfactory for big family party. The dinner need not exact a great outlay of money. for home canned fruits and vegetables, pickles and jellies are more in keep ing with the roast pig than out of season delicacies-
 The butcher should dress the pig carefully and deliver it the morning of the day before the dinner. Scrub the skin with a brush and wash thor oughly inside and out. Rub the in side with salt and fill with plain bread stuffing. Sew up the slit and truss.
 Prop the mouth open with a potato during the roasting and replace with a bright red apple to send to the table. If your oven Is too small, send the pig to the nearest bake shop to be roasted. Heat a board very hot to bring the pig home on and the roast will be piping hot to serve.
 The menu for a roast pig dinner could be like this:
