SOMETHING NEW AT ANNUAL
MASQUERADE.

Monday evening, February 9th,
has been decided upon as the date OF
the annual masquerade at Turner Hall.
It has, been the custom to hold this
Mardi Gras affair on Fastnacht eve.
However there. are many who like to
attend the Ball but whose principles
require that they observe Lent begin
ming at. Midnight Of Tuesday before
Ash Wednesday. This prevents their
enjoying the dance after midnight and
the committee in charge figures that
good part OF the fun will come after
midnight and no one will want to miss
it, 50 they set the date for Monday
instead Of Tuesday. The members
of the committee are Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Setter, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Held, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Steinhau-
ser, Mrs. Otto Meyer, Miss Tillie
Heymann, Armin Heymann and Walter
Engelbert. They are working diligent-
ly to prepare something a little different
from the usual program and they are
planning ways and means to give the
spectators just as much fun as the
dancers. There will be gift for
every spectator who purchases a seat,
and these gifts are expected to help
increase the merriment. Many groups
have already started preparations and
competition for the prizes will be keen.
Watch next weeks papers for list OF
prizes and announcement Of seat sale
You will miss a gay time if you let
anything interfere with attending, either
as masquer or as a spectator. No
tify some member Of the committee
if you have group planned 50 that
it can be given good place in the
pageant # you want suggestions,
cali, on any member Of the committee
for help. They are prepared with q
list Of groups and with illustrations
Of costumes and the dancers to ac-
company them. Each group competing
for prize will be required to give q
stage performance. Come on, let's 60!

SOME WHEAT rs CROWN
NEAR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
$500 Bushels Of the Spring Variety
Produced During Summer
Of 1921.

The Alaska Experiment Stations OF
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture have demonstrated that it is
possible to raise locally a large part OF
the wheat needed by those who have
settled in the Territory. A recent re-
port from the agronomist in charge Of
the five Alaska stations states that IN
the summer Of 1921 a crop OF $500 bus bus
shells Of spring wheat was produced IN
the vicinity Of the Fairbanks Station.
Most Of this wheat is being ground IN
to flour in a small mill recently install
led at Fairbanks. The quantity a.
vailable will supply the 1,50O people
living at OF near Fairbanks. This
wheat is the product OF selection
made from small sample Of grain
received from Siberia in 1914. The
grain is hard and the -four Of excellent
quality.
About 1000 bushels Of wheat were
produced in the Matanuska Valley in
1921. One field of wheat in the Ma
tanuska Station yielded DO bushels pei
acre. At the Rampant Station, the
varieties Of wheat developed from 81
berian stock and most of the barley
hybrids and oat selections ripened,
while their parent plants did not fully
mature. Farmers in the Tanana Val
ley produced 5000 bushels of wheat
1000 bushels of oats, and nearly 1000
bushels of barley. Oats and barley
| in addition to wheat, are being grown
| in very considerable quantities every
year in the interior valleys, from
seed developed at the Rampant ane
Fairbanks stations. ls S}9l a}d
The aim of Alaskan agriculture il
chiefly to increase local food supplies
The main sources of income for Alaska
are mining, fishing, and timber. g
has long been the belief of those IL
charge of Alaskan experiment station
work that it is entirely possible to grow
food in sufficient amount to suppl.
those engaged in all industrial occupa
tions in the Territory.

SMOKE HOUSE STORAGE
PLACE FOR HAMS, BACON

With cement floor and screen ven
tilators preventing the entrance Of
insects, the smoke house is salts
satisfactory storehouse for keeping
hams and bacons on the farm for sum-
mer use, according to P. A. Anderson
and A.. L.. Harvey Of the animal hus-
bandry division of the University if
Minnesota. In general, they say, hams
and bacon should be kept in a cool,
dry, dark place Of uniform temperature
to protect from flies, mosquitoes,
shippers, vermin and other insects.
If impossible to keep insects out, borax
should be busted over the meat.
With no smoke house available, the
meat should be thoroughly dried on the
surface, wrapped in parchment paper
or old newspaper; and muslin or flour
sacks and stored. If the white wash
method is used, make paste of lime
and water with an addition Of little
glue to make it stick, and paint the
hams and bacon, wrapped in paper or
muslin, with this solution and hang in
a dark dry place, not allowing pieces
to touch.
With the yellow wash method a So
luton made of three pounds Of bari
UNI sulphate, 0.06 of a pound Of glue,
0.08 Of pound of chrome yellow or
lead chromate, and 0.04 Of pound
Of flour for every hundred pounds is
used. Half fill pail with water, and
mix in -four, dissolving all Jumps
thoroughly. Dissolve the chrome in a
quart Of water in separate vessel and
add the solution of glue to the -four,
bringing the whole to boil and adding
the barium sulphate slowly with con-
stant stirring. Make the wash one day
before it is required. Stir frequently
when used and apply with brush.
|. Other methods of storage are: meat
wrapped with coated melted parafn
hung in. q cool place: hams and bacon
wrapped in paper or muslin and buried
ina grain bin, care being taken to
prevent attacks by vermin; and hams
and bacon packed in rock salt, either
wrapped or unwrapped. With any. Of
these methods mold will be found ion
the meat when removed from storage.
This can easily be wiped off and trimm
ed when the meat is to be cooked.

REORGANIZATION HITS
NUMEROUS OBSTACLES
Government Economy Halted By
Congressional Friends Of
R,,roaucrafa

Bureaucrats.
Advices from Washington, D. c.,
state that reorganization plans sub
mitted to President Harding by Wal
ter F. Brown, his personal aid in his
plan to put the government machine
on business basis, have met strenu-
Gus opposition in Congress. Every
department has a powerful group of
Senators and Representatives defend
ing it against "aggressions' and every
bureau, no matter how small, has it's
coterie of legislators befriending it and
seeing to it that it is neither transfer
red nor abolished.
I Every Cabinet officer went. into
Office with the understanding that he
would not oppose changes in the gov
eminent machinery looking to the
betterment of the service as whole,
but it is understood that several Of
them are opposing reorganization
plans which would take from their
particular departments certain bur-
eaus, and therefore certain appropria-
tions and powers, on the platform
that such changes are not for the
benefit of the government.
It is understood that President
Harding, though disappointed at the
failure Of Well-made plans to reduce
government expense and increase eff
ciency, is by no means discouraged in
regard to the eventual fruition Of the
hopes he set before the country Of
more business in government.

THE u AND THE v

How is it that while the ancients got
along very well without the letter U,
moderns cannot progress unless it is
used in about one word in every four?
In the roman alphabet there was
but one letter, V, for both U and v,
whether the sound was that of vowel
or consonant. In Latin manuscripts
whenever the word containing this
vowel was written in capitals the v
was always used; but in Uncial manu-
scripts the v became more or less
rounded at the base and later slight
serif was added.
The tendency grew to write V initial
ly and u in other positions, regardless
of phonetics; thus, vnwise, vnder, vp-
on, but lure, much. This style was
followed by the early English printers,
while continental European printers be-
gan to use u as the vowel, retaining
the v for consonants. This innovation
was due to the printer. Some English
printers attempted to use the u for
the vowel and Y for the consonants be-
fore 1900, and by 1880 the two letters
cane into general use. Nevertheless
the U still held its own in lines of capita
letters even though u would have been
used had the line been in lower case.
Thus Y had double function until
about 100 when the present method
became general. Makers Of diotiona-
ries still continued to use both the v
and the almost as interchangeable
letters, and even as hate as 1887.

Levies Are Compared. nj

Protests by some that they are pay
ing too much in auto taxes brought the
answer from the secretary of states
office that the tax is virtually what it
would be were the levy made as a
personal property tax. The example
of a 81, 500 list price car is cited as an
explanation. The assessed valuation,
if taken on basis of 33 1-3 per cent,
would be $500. The personal property
levy of approximately 60 mills would
be $50. The two per cent automobile
tax on $1,000 would be $50 also.
"There is virtually no difference
where all people abide by their duty of
citizenship and do not fail to pay a
personal property tax" was the ex-
plantation.
.s License Tag Schedule.
The license tags are scheduled as
follows: Pleasure cars are A and b.
The "A is on cars paying a minimum
license Of $12, while the B is on cars
whose minimum license fee is over $12.
Trucks are designated by 7 and *.
The 7 Us for trucks paying the mini
mum Of SIS and the X'is on trucks
paying over SIS. Trailers are desig7
mated as q and the license fee is from
81 upwards, according to value. Mo-
torcycles and side-cars are designated
on tags as NC.
Must Get Tags Now.
Some people seem to be of the
opinion that they will not be required
to pay the license fee and secure their
tags prior to Wednesday, February Is,
unless their cars are now in use or will
be before that date. The fact of the
matter lis, however, that the license
must be taken out now-or at least
before February Is.
Other wrinkles in the motor We
hicle law are as follows: Motorists from
other states can obtain a visitor s
license without cost and for a period
of 80 days. The Minnesota car owner
who leaves the state and does not in
tend to return this year, can get no re-
fund of the license money he has paid,
for under the attorney generals inter
probation, the full tax paid by him
must stand. The man who sells car
already registered. and licensed, and
buys new one; must pay the tax on
the new one, regardless Of the other
payment. IN no case will anyone be
given motor vehicle license without
certificate proof Of title to the car.
Motor and serial numbers Of the auto
are demanded. ,..t !

Trucks Furnish Puzzle.
Truck owners furnish the most
difficulty forithe motor tax co1nputors.
The list price Of these motor vehicles
must be. based on composite sched-.
ule. The price of the chassis is the
first. To this is added the price Of the
tires, and, in cases of large-sized
trucks, the tax on the. tires alone would
be as large as on whole Ford. An
added cab might boost the price
another $25, while the body perhaps
increases it another 500. The ex-
ample given herewith is for a truck
whose chassis is listed at 81, ,655. The
total would be $1,000, if the cited ad-
ditions were made. The tax of two
per cent would then be SAL go. Hard
rubber tires are not counted towards
additions to the tax.
The general provisions for truck ta1
is two per cent, just as on pleasure
vehicles. Specific provisions are
Trucks and tractors of under two-tor

two to four tons, $50 minimum; ove1
four tons, $50 minimum. The
