for the citizens of any town or county to organize law and order league in order to secure the enforcement of the laws" In theory and principle this argument is perfectly sound, but as a matter of fact we are facing condition which seems to make some such organizations necessary and we should not allow theories to stand i'll the way when a situation calls for action.
 To sum it all up let every man and woman in Prescott and Nevada county who has respect for law and decency wake up and help to start crusade which shall destroy every whiskey still in the county and put every boot legger out of business. We can do 1t if we will, let us say as one man, we can do it and we will.

Folklore of the Hair.

A heavy head of hair indicates few If any virtues. according to folklore gathered from many parts of the world. The Turks claim that women with short intellect have long hair. The Albanians say with finality. "Long hair, little brains Other contrib utors say that much hair indicates un- governable temper and inclination to melancholy 'If q girl has a great deal of hair she will marry poverty, while the girl with little hair will mar
 " rich" according to another source. Curly hair is a sign of scold, and also early wdowhood if the hair falls in little curls at the back of the neck. A long and peaceful life is promised the owner of hair that grows low on the forehead and retreats up the side of the head over the temples Chest nut or brown hair denotes fairness in dealings generosity, absence of de- ceit, but unhappinesS in domestic life.

ENFORCEMENT
 NOT A ONE-MAN JOB

"This matter of prohibition enforce ment is not a one-man job" said Judge Harold c. Wells of the court of com mon pleas at recent rally at Mt. Holly, New Jersey, according to The American Issue. "No judge alone can enforce the law, nor can the prosecutor or the sheriff or the policeman. This is the job of every good citizen, of every man who loves decency, his state, and his flag.
 "Some fo you are going to come to me and complain that the law is not enforced in your community, as if it were my job only to see that it is en- forced there. Do you know what l am going to say to you when you come? | am going 10 look you squarely in the eye and say, What have YOU done in your community to see that this law k enforced?' ? and don't come to me unless you have q good. square answer to make to that question
 You doubtless read of the big py- than that escaped from the Zoo recent ly. The keeper tried 10 wreStle it back into its cage and got nearly strangled and crushed for his pains. He then got about twenty men and assigned each man to strip of the creature. Al given signal every man seized his assigned portion, and they bore the monster off in triumph and put it be hind the bars where it belonged. The evil monster of contempt for our na- tons constitution and for law k abroad in every community No man alone can conquer it, but if every self respecting citizen will do his part it can he overpowered and put behind the bars"

WASHINGTON AND THE FARM

We are going to have a gathering of farming representatives in Washing ton next week It is called by the secretary of agriculture. Doubtless few members of Congress will address the body
 These men will come and sympathe- tically pout salt on the wound of the farmers. They will tell them how badly they are treated, and how that the hand of everybody Is raised against them, and then. lowering their eyes iik ca dying calf, they will move out with great applause, go back to the capitol and resume their talk.
 Washington is poor place in which to hold an agricultural conference. IL IS hard 10 get at the truth in Washing ton. Men in politics will not tell the truth if 1t will be unpleasant to the nearer.
 Washington might have helped the farmers. The lawmakers in Washing ton have been the worst enemies farm CTS have had since the close of the war.
 Only two constructive measures for the benefit of farmers have been pass cd within the last ten years. They were forced through by Woodrow Will son against a hostile financial senti- ment. which always looks backward. and the indifference of the farmer himself. Thesc two progressive mea- sures were the farm loan law and the Federal Reserve system. which has been chiefly engaged in financing the war and saving the whole credit or the system of the country from col lapse
 The productive energies of the coun- try were tremendously accelerated in t9t7-lS. They were dirtcted in these two years to the war The year after the war they were turned to agricui- ture and manufacturing The result was a great production. Half of the world wae starving while w were rich in those things that prevent star yation. This same half of the world was freezing and we had something to clothe it. The same half of the world needed houses. We had housing ma terial
 We declared the asmiStice No. II, 1918. The other allies did not make pcacc until the following summer, We remained in state of war with Ger many ana Austria until last fall,
 The only way to order in Europe and Asia was through peace. Clamor- ing for peace, our Congress refused to make it Me refused tO enter into any sort of arrangement by which the buying power of foreign countries could be increased through credit.

 For every three bushels or every three pounds of something we produce we consumed two; the third k for sale somewhere rise, We made il so that somewhere else" there was small power to purchase The result was 2 tumhling in prices

suffer.
 This collapse might have been pre- vented if we had gone whole-heartetlly into league or association of nations.

This collapse might have been pre- vented if we had gone whole-heartetlly into a league or association of nations. The purchasing power of the foreign countries would have immediately in 1 creased and the tremendous collapse of prices in agricultural products would not have followed.
 This is how the farmers were hurt by Congress. This is what the refusal to enter into "entangling alliances" brought us to. Our fear of "embroil- ment' in European politics brought ruin and destitution to our own peo- ple and the only way out is going to be in an embodiment in the busi ness of Europe and Asia.
 We wanted world peace and order because we wanted China and Ger many to buy some of our world cot ton, and we want peace in India and Ireland, if you please, because it will enable the English spinning mills to buy cotton, because they will have a market for the spun products in these two countries. So will this order in crease demand for grain, lumber and manufactured stuff.
 The greatest need of the American farmer is world peace-order.
 The American government should do what it can to bring about this peace ernment economically is to extend credits which the government can do, but which the private citizen can not do, to these countries out of which they may resume normal activity in all branches of commerce. This does not mean lending money to other govern ments. Credit does not necessarily need money.
 There are many things that could be done which are sound economically. but these things require intelligence on the part of the doers, a great in tclllSence on the part Ol Oui NoiiSitoS. So far our Congress has not exhibited this intelligence The mass of the Con gress has not got it, and this mass, which is in both parties. refuses to follow the lead of those who know what could be done and what must be done.
 The prices of farm products suffer as other products have suffered The farmer is not alone i'll his trouble The man who tolls with his hands is suffering. Where two years ago there was work for all, today there is only for two-thirds in most all of the trades and in unskilled labor about one person in three has no work.
 The journey to better things is slow The way for the farmer down here is to so conduct his operation as to incur the least possible debt-thiS means diversification. The way out for the western farmer is about the same.

PANAMA CANAL
ROUTE OF AID
TO NORTHWEST
Lower Rates to Northwest
and Alaska Plays Big
Part, Says. Cotwals.

The striking feature of the North
west today is the manner in which
the shippers of that region are awak-
eling TO the opportunity Of lesscning
transportation costs by the utiliza-
ton OF the Panama Canal, according
to Col j. c. Gotwals, Engineer Of
ficer Of the Alaska Road Commission.
who returned here today from a
months visit to Seattle, Portland and
other cities CT the Northwest The
Canal route, he added, has brought
Philadelphia and Eastern steel and
manufacturing centers as close to
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska as
Kansas City formerly was, as far
as freight rates are concerned.
The net result is, he said, thai
many economies have been effected
in construction and other activities.
This is benefitting all of the North
west and to certain degree, AL
aska, in that it is making it possible
to do more work for the same money
that was formerly expended
In Portland conditions are good
and the future of the city is of the
brightest, said Colonel Gotwals. who
said that it is probably destined to
be the numbering center Of the world.
Seattle is better than for the past
two years and the business depres-
sion there has lifted perceptibly.
Colonel Gotwals was one of the
speakers at luncheon of the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce and in
his talk assaulted the system of mis-
taken Conservation which had been
foisted on the Territory He also
attended the Alaska Fish Dinner Civ
en- by the Arctic Club.
Materials for putting in the five
big piers of the Nizina River bridge
and other supplies were purchased
BY Colonel Gotwals during his alb
sence. These are to be shipped to
Cordova and freighted out to the
bridge site this winter. Assistant
superintendent Huddleston will so
inside to take charge of the work
and it is hoped that all the piers
can be completed before next
springs high water stops the work
If this is not possible, work will be
during the summer and
again after the freeze-up
next fall. The piers will be complet-
ed during the calendar year of 1923,
he said. 1t is PLANNED to complete
the structure next winter and early
in the spring in 1924.

TO
OIL FIELDS ONLY
HALF FINISHED
Bad Roads Retard Progress in
Moving Supplies Of Oil Com
panies from Kanatak.

approximately so per cent only
Associated Oil Companies, has been
freighted from Kanatak to the oil
fields at the present time, according
TO Otis Ross, surveyor, and who is
interested in oil claims in the East
and Wide Bay fields of the Cold
Bay district. Mr.. Ross is in Juneau
awaiting a southbound boat to the
states, where he is going in the in
torest OF his holdings in Cold Bay.
Bad Eoads Cause
Bad 'roads are the cause OF re-
tarding' the progress of freighting the
supplies to the oil fields. Mr.. Ross
said There is no snow, SO that dog
teams might he used, and the mud
is so deep as to make the road prac-
tically impossible. Caterpillars, he
said. make very slow progress and
travel with horses is difficult.
AT the present time the supplies
are cached along the road at inter-
walls, from Kanatak to the fields ard
not much is being accomplished to-
ward their transportation
The companies started freighting
in the fall and expected to get all
their supplies at the fields of opera
ton in about three weeks time
They should be able to finish
the freighting by February /. Mr..
Ross said
Many Men Employed
Between 40 and 60 men are EN-
ployed in the Cold Bay district by
the two oil companies at the present
time and drill crew for the Asso-
ciated Oil went out on the last trip
of the Admiral Watson Little wo.k
is being done on any claims held by
individuals.
Mr. Ross said he understands a
drill is to be sunk in the east field
dome next spring.
Mr. Ross has spent several months
in the Cold Bay district and sur
veyed so claims during the season.
He expects TO resume survey work
in the spring.
Kanatak is a good sized town al
ready with a winter population of
$50 people, Mr. Ross said. The ma
jority of the residents come from
other Alaskan towns, chiefly those
at the Westward. Present indca
tons are that if oil is struck in the
district, Kanatak will be one of the
of Alaska, he said There
are now four stores, a hotel, two
restaurants. a bakery and a laundry
and several soft drink parlors in the
town and a lively and busy atmos-
phere prevails throughout the place.
Mr. Ross said
Mr.. Ross expects to leave on the
Spokane for the States and will re-
turn North early in March.
