Agriculture helps 60 keep boys
in school a few days ago IN White
Deer where they have a good course
in Stock Judging, mother told me
how her son who had never cared
FOR high school work before was in-
terestcd in Agriculture Her story
was intereaing. The son had run
away from school the year before
and had been locked up in jail a.
Amarillo. She had forced him back
IN school asking the teacher 20 whip
him, but found the boy had no ln-
terest In any school work. This
year, since becoming Interested ln
Vocational Agriculture. her bog is
making an excellent record in the
White Deer high school.

things which are interesting %

NEW CABLE NEEDED

IT APPEARS that congress is at last determined to give Alaskans relief in the matter of a new cable, the appro- priation having been raised to a mil lion and a half dollars. While it is true that this sum will not be sufficient to lay a new line from Seattle to Sew ard, It will go far toward eliminating the rOtting portions of the line, which have been giving much trouble by ire uuent breaks, entailing annoyance and delays to patrons.
 The present cable was a second hand one when it was laid, and has been in service many, many years. It is or1- ginally was purchased from Great Brit ain and at the time was intended as a stop-gap until some thing better could be used. It leaks badly and there is little hope that it will last another five years
 The Signal Corps, in charge of the present system, has had much to con- tend with, but have labOred incessant- ly to remedy conditions. Col. Scaone in charge, is making a trip to Washing ton in order to present conditions prop erly to congress.
 With a new cable Alaska will have much better connection with the states, and this with the radio service should greatly improve business con ditions
