ABOUT "TOMATO GROWERS Y

We'll, heard from some of the Tomato Growers."' few of the "Optimists" called me up.
 One lady phoned me and said; "I want to tell you. thought that was awfully good what you said about me, how in this world did you ever know that grew tomatoes?"
 Pardon me madam. didn't know you ever grew them in this world or the next. and if you'll par don me twice. you're not the only "optimist in Nome, know of at least one more.
 One man wanted to be convinced as to what I was. You must be an "optimist" your self to talk as you do, aren't you Mrs. Frada?" No. pardon me, I thought I was. but now that I'm in Nome trying to make the people understand. that when I refer to them as "optimists" and "pesimists," I'm not calling them names-I can't be; never the less they can't discourage me from encouraging Tomato Growers" just the same.
 
 One sweet sour dough. with the enthusiasm of a Burbank. stopped me right in the middle of the snow, just to tell me how grateful he was that I didn't stop oil some where else. "I'm glad" he said. "you came to Nome. your encouraging the fruit growers here is all we need to make this & fruit producing country: there's no limit to what can take place with the right en- couragement. such as you are giv- ing us. While I'm convinced. that this country might have been con- verted into Q tropical region by now. fe you had, come in sooner. I don't know whether he meant this as compliment or as a come back.

 We'll any how. found at least one understanding soul. who must have fe,: sure of his welcome. for he burst into my cabin with the rikht hunch. "Say. what would you say to . young fellow like me trying to grow lemons?" "I'd say, splendid, go to it. we need them to hand around to a species of Noble Nomens; the kind who are always coming and going in and out of Nome, thru and out and down AL aska; coming in to get all they can, going out to knock all they can, then down to doing any one they can; the Bull-winded- -blizzard-blow- CTS. who are full of wind. ride the bun and carry the blizzards with them n r, where .n ever they go.

By FRANK E. MASON, International News Service.

Paris, Aug. 14.-The slender thread which still holds Bavaria to the rest of the German federation is being watched with the keenest interest py French political leaders If Bavar1a breaks away from Germany the enceau at the time of the Versailles negotiations will harvest tremen- dous victory.
 The policy of divided and rule" of Balkanizing Germany that is breaking the country up into a lot or little States which will spend their energies on disagreements with one of the militaristS and of the Clemen- cists cannot be taken as representing the whole of the French nation.
 Nevertheless. it is agreed if Ger many should break up it would be Of tremendous political advantage to France. France as a whole is quite convinced that the debts to England is equally convinced that the repara- tions bill owed by Germany will never be paid in full. If Germany breaks up C1emenceau'S demand of the Rhine1and will be fulfilled, if not politically at least in an economic union with France.
 French Press Interested.
 At regular. intervals the French press comes out with a little reminder of Frances intense interest in the Rhineland One week it is the Ex- celsior with ea long tabulation of the financial and economic condition of the Rhineland. The Journal quotes a Coblenz newspaper as saying: Ger man opinion in the Rhine1and is evil dently much less hostile to the sep arist movement and it is hoped that Great Britain will join France in a

plebiscite to be held this fall on the question of autonomy"
 Students of history will remember that all of Na,poleonS anneXatlonS were done by means of a pIeolsclIe, which never failed to come out the Mail Craig, chief of staff of the United States forces in Germany, who pre- vented the separatist movement from attaining its goal two years ago.
 The chief of staff of the French forces telephoned to General Craig at two o'clock one morning and an ncunced that MT. Dorten was going to declare the Rhineland independent the following day. He begged Gen eral Craig not to interfere, even if he Craig said that the Americans were in Cob1enz to preserve order, and that they would put down ~any uprising, no matter from which direction 1t came.
 Dorten Going Strong.
 But to quote the Journal, Dorten is going strong and if given a chance Rhine1and. If Bavaria with her mon archistic inclinations breaks away from Prussia. wh1ch is pink, to say the least, if not a deep crimson red guarantees That the Ruhr is one of these, despite the opposition of the British coal baronS, backed by the British Foreign Office, need not be mentioned. But the Rhineland will also be given chance to declare its independence.
 The French have not forgotten that it was the F'ranco-Prussian War which enabled Bismarck to take the Ger man States which had been wasting selves, and welding them together, turn them as a united whole against

 In May, 1922, dissensioa broke out between Northcliffe and other mem bers of the Associated Newspapers Ltd, owners of the Northcliffe press. In June, 1922. libel suits were brought against Lord Northcliffe by Sir An drew Caird. vice chairman, and Wal ter G. Fish, a director of Associated Newspapers.
 The day on which the announce ment of the filing of these suits was made, Northcliffe was reported to be suffering from a nervous breakdown in Switzerland. He was brought lack to England several days later, and
 was reported then to be ill from pto- maine poisoning Early in July his differences with | Lloyd George were said to have been ended and the libel actions brought 4 by Fish and Caird were said to have | been dropped. His health, however, | continued to grow worse, his ailm ment | being diagnosed as due to 'unknown | poisoning"

 At the conclusion of the war he
 and Lloyd George were characterized
 as the two strongest personalities in | British 1ife.''
 Born in Chapelizod, Ireland. July Is. 1865, Alfred Charles William l Harmsworth, Viscount Northcliffe
 started his career as a subordinate editor of a publishing house writing l answers to correspondents This sug-

 and he forced the fighter to give up the pictures.
