INTERIOR CROPS
LATE THIS YEAR
SAYS ANDERSON
Manager Juneau Florists Re-
turns from Trip-Col-
lects Specimens.

The Interior is suffering from an
off-season and the crops are very
late and not so good this year. ac-
cording to j. p Anderson, manager
of the Juneau Florists. Mr.. Ander-
son returned to Juneau yesterday
on the Admiral Evans after making
trip through the Interior to study
the flora of the country and to col
lect botanical specimens and material
for articles he is writing on the
flora of Alaska. lie will send
number of the specimens to various
herbia institutions in the United
States and Europe.
He said the weather was drizzly
and miserable on his entire trip in
side, with the exception of the time
he spent at Matanuska, and had
been the same all season
Interesting Trip
Mr.. Anderson left Juneau June 7
for Skagway. to make the trip down
the Yukon River. He purchased a
16-foot boat at Whitehorse, put in an
Evinrude engine. covered the back
part of the boat with canvas and
set out for Dawson, making almost
the entire trip alone. From Dawson
he went to Tanana on the mail
launch Hazel b., and from Tanana to
Nenana on barge pushed by a side
wheel river boat He took the train
from Nenana to Fairbanks, where he
remained one week From Fairbanks
he came out to the coast by way of
the Government Railroad, stopping
several days at Healy and Matanuska.
He spent six days at Seward and
came direct south from there on the
Admiral Evans.
Matanuska Promising
''The Matanuska valley is prefer
able for agriculture to the Tanana
valley, in my opinion" said Mr. An
derson. This is because the seasons
are longer and more reliable The
Matanuska crop will be superior to
the Tanana crop this year
'The interior is a good agricultural
country and especially good for
grains and hardy vegetables. but it
will never be able to produce more
than is necessary for local consump-
ton because of transportation facili-
ties.
81 did not find the flora so diff
ferent from that on the coast ex-
cept for the growth being larger
and more abundant because of eli
matte conditions and the soil The
soil in the Interior is excellent
Many Specimens
81 have a variety of specimens
of flowers. differing only slightly
from those found on the coast One
of the most interesting is the forget
me-not. | found this flower on the
rocky peaks of the mountains near
Healy. 1t is about four times as
large as that found on the coast and
grows close to the ground, spread
out"
Mr.. Anderson said the season ap-
pears to be late over the entire Ter
rftory as he has found several spe-
cies OF plants at the local green
louse are not the normal size for this
ime of the year.
"Thc interior is a fine country
md so is the Westward" said Mr.
anderson. but this district looks
mighty fine to me in every way and
IN glad to have my work here and
o cali Juneau my home"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE ToRRENs SYSTEM
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I ask space in your valuable paper for the reason that you always desire matter of inter- est to your readers, and have always fought fearlessly for Improvements" that you fel. would be beneficial to the state of Alabama.
 From the numerous letters from the citizens of Birmingham, as well as the state at large, I am forced to believed that the Torrens sys. tenn is of vital interest to them.
 The Torrens system, devised by Sir Robert Torrens, is method of registering the title to land, whereby unit of property is first placed on the registry with reference to the land it. self; in principle, the title itself is registered, and established as good by judicial decree In other words, your title is absolutely quieted. Your Torrens certificate is nothing more or less than registered stock or bond. Your real estate is incorporated -71instead of issuing 100 shares of stock to as many stockholders, there is one share issued each piece of property and this stock is registered in your name. k
 In a sale one simply sells this registered stock and gives an order on the registrar to issue new certificate in the name of the pur- chaser. In making a loan one simply puts this certificate up as collateral, just the same as one would borrow on his note and put up a share of Standard Oil registered stock as col lateral.
 Registration or entry of the transactions on the registry is essential to their validity, and such registration, original or subsequent trans actions, act as a warranty of title in the per- son registered as owner and as bar to ad- verse claims.
 When the court is satisfied that the title IS good-in any system if disputes arise the court must finally settle--the judge enters decree of registration and certificate of ownership is issued by the county recorder to the owner, in duplicate, the original of which appears on one page of the recorders record, which bears on it's face, notice by entries or memorials of all membranes on the property.
 When once registered and the recorder issues a certificate, the title does not have to be again examined because the registration judicially establishes or declares the title good up to the date of the courts decree.
 In short, the Torrens system is essentially a system of conveyance based on registration and certificates instead of mere recording of deeds. Your real estate can be handled just aa rapidly and as safely as a merchant com ploten the delivery of suit of clothes.
 Let's leave the dark ages behind us. Sup

TRUE GREATNESS

Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon are dead, and their empires have crumbled into dust. Theirs was human greatness surpassing that of other men on whom Destiny had smiled, and few parchments, a few statues or temples of stone-and a memory, are all that is left. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, and transitory as these is human greatness Men have fought for place and power; have lived and died for them; have struggled and sacrificed and sinned; have been damned for them; and living children play in the ruins of the temples, few dod- dering scholars bend above the yellow parch- ments, triumphal arches stand decaying through summers sun and winters snows. Kings sleep, forgotten; and life moves on content to have it so.
 And there was Jesus. He had no place to lay His head. He was despised and scorned and spat upon. He was mocked and scourged and crucified He died dis graced, and was buried in a borrowed tomb. There remains, not few faded parchments, but Book enshrined in the hearts of half the world. The most beautiful buildings of which the world boasts today are those built and building in His name. The little chl- dren playing through the pagan ruins, bow their heads in reverence when they hear or speak His name. He is King forever because He was the servant of all.
 We know these things are true, but I wonder If we appreciate their significance in the humble lives we are called upon to live. We cannot all be great as the em- perors of this world have been great, and we ought to thank God for that, as their lots are seldom happy, but the greatness that was Christ's can in large measure be won by all, by avoiding the ambition to have many men serving us, and by giving ourselves to service as wholly as we can.
 For mans true greatness is measured not by the people who serve him, but by those whom he serves. The great minister is he to whom hundreds or thousands bring their sorrows. The great doctor is he to whom multitudes come to be healed. The great ruler is he who bears on his shoulders and in his heart the burdens of the nation. The great man is he to whom his friends and loved ones look for help and never look in vain. And this is just another way of saying what that Great One said two thou sand years ago: "Whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
BENSON OPTIMISTIC

T am very much gratified to see number of new homes under construction in Birming- ham, as reflected in our active sales of resi- dence lots and mortgage business financing homes," said Robert Jemison, IT,, president of Jemison & Co. 'It is most fortunate for Birmingham to have such financial connections as we are representing in our mortgage loan department, and able to provide constant flow of funds for construction purposes NOth- ing stabilizes a community more than home ownership.
 "Crop conditions in Alabama, as we gather them from our representatives in various sec tions of the state, arc more favorable than those in our neighboring states in the south. There is less damage by the boil weevil while tn corn crop is in good condition. Alabama farmers have been sensible in planting food crops along with their temptation to plant moye cotton, to which they have again yielded Progress made in the live stock industry and in darying is also encouraging. wonderful advance has been made in breeding a better grade of live stock, particularly in dairy cattle.
 "Our collections on payments for lots and inquiries for home sites indicate an improved condition incident to almost hundred per cent resumption in industrials, particularly in the Fairfield section."

CLOUDS GATHERING OVER
 GERMAN REPUBLIC

On the verge of bankruptcy, meanced on one side by bolshevism and on the other by monarchistic plotters, the German republic is facing the worst crisis it has yet experienced during its brief, but troubled, existence.
 Much depends on France. If she will mod ify her separations claims and give Germany q chance to ward off internal dissension, well as financial chaos, the crisis may be averted. The German government has already announced that it will not be able to make it's next payment due July 15.
 Statesmen in Europe and America have good reason to be alarmed over the situation in Germany. Everyone knows that the German republic Is making desperate struggle to sur yiye. Putting aside for the moment war hatreds and the questionable tactics Germany has followed in trying to evade her war obli- gations, self Interest dictates that the allies, with the moral assistance of the United States. fall of the German republic
 If the wirth government falls a monarchy will be established or Germany will share the fate of Russia and become far greater men, ace to the peace, the industrial and financial stability of Europe than Russia at her worst. Nor would the United States escape the con- sequences. Communism in Germany would wreck Europe and a restored monarchy would be little better.
 The fight enlightened Germans are making to maintain republic should have the sym pathy and support of the democracies of Eu- rope and America. The reactionaries have started reign of terror and the danger of bolshevism is great. The fall of the republic would lead to civil war. Europe cannot afford to quibble over separations when its future welfare is so closely related to that of Germany

sort of person to succeed by his own efforts. He is merely ward, helpless aboriginee, de- pendent the government to keep the lean wolf from his door.
 The Poncas, Otoes and Pawnees are other Indian tribes of Oklahoma who are becoming prosperous through the wizardry of oil. They are not as rich as the Osages-yet. They are dependent on horses, carriages and flivvers for means of transportation, but they, toe, in time may expect to look down with easy con- descension on the owner of Ford.
 These modern touches offer strange con- trast to the barbaric tribal dances to which the Indians still cling. When the tribes gather for one of their festivals, they forget all about their silk hats, silk shirts and motor cars. They are primitive savages again, whose veneer of civilization is so thin that 1t is broken by the beat of tom-tom.

PROHIBITION AND BONUS
 TWO LIVE ISSUES

Two questions which are just now attracting public attention probably more than any others are prohibition and the soldier bonus. Regard less of the claims made chiefly by the drys, that prohibition is permanently settled issue, it will not down and is playing conspicuous part at the present moment in congressional elections.
 The wet interests have by no means given up the fight while the prohbitionists are more strongly organized than ever and are prepared strict interpretation of the prohibition laws
 The bonus bill, because it is being used as football of politics and concerns all the Amer ican people, who will have to pay increased taxes if our former service men are compen- sated, is of hardly less interest. The two questions are also closely related since it has been suggested that tax on light wines and beer would mako 1t unnecessary to increase taxation to pay bonus.
 The Literary Digest is performing useful public service by conducting a nationwide
 
 bonus. More than 1o,o00,ooo ballots have been sent out to voters of the country who are asked to express their views. The results, x after being tabulated, will be published in tile Digest.
 Previous polls conducted by the Digest have been of great value as showing inpar- tially what the people of this country think about public matters. The vote on prohibition and the bonus will be awaited with much inter- est. It will indicate what is in store for poi ticians who have sought to make capital ou. of both of these questions. Many misleading statements have been made and it will be well worth while to learn what is the true sentiment of the American people.

JEFFERSON BIG COUNTY

Covering Jefferson county and seeing even a small majority of the voters Is a big job," said Woolsey Morrow, candidate for circuit clerk 'In some of the small counties of tho state I understand that an aspirant for public office can start out and in few months see practically every voter in the county. Such a thing would of course be impossible in Jeff ferson county which far exceeds any other county in population.
 "With women voting the job has become even greater, making it even more necessary to go into as many homes as possible. All the candidates so far as l can determine have been "in the woods" lately and working hard It costs money and time to make a race for any office and nobody wants to lose out, of course, if he can help it.

THANK GOD FOR FOOLS

Ted Olson, in Forbes Magazine. Thank God for fools-for men who dare to
 dream
 Beyond the lean horizon of their days; Men not too timd to pursue the gleam To unguessed lands of wonder and amaze Thank God for foolsl The trails that ring The
 world
 Are dark with blood and sweat where they
 have passed. Theirs are the flags on every crag unfurled Theirs-ashes and oblivion at last. Blundering, fumbling up the drowning years; Stumbling through deeps too foul for moon
 or star; Hearing--and needing not--the scoffs, the
 jeersi
 Falling at last while yet the goal was far. Poor ragmuffin heroes, doomed to fill, And leave their bones beneath ironic skies, They never knew their wandering blazed the
 trail,
 Their blunders taught their wisdom to the
 wise! Thank God for fools--absurd and blind and
 great.
 We rear our temples the stones they laid Ours is the prize their tired souls might not
 await;
 Theirs-the high requiem of the unafraid!

PRODUCE MARKET GOOD

'"The fact that members of the Truck Crow CTS association furnish basket with every order of vegetables or fruit sold Is making big business for the basket manufacturers of the city, said J. R. Cook, business manager of the Truck Growers association.
 "The association uses about 250 dozen baskets per day. I expect to put in an order this week with local concern for 15,000 dozen baskets. Purchased in quantities these bas- kets cost the truckers about four cents each, but they are furnished free to customers.
 Besides selling truck locally, the association has recently shipped 20 crates of carrots and IA dozen beets to Anniston and other points. The rroduce market is at it's best now and prices are fairly good.'

MOTOR CARS AND TOP HATS AT
 INDIAN TRIBAL DANCES

Indians on the Oklahoma reservations are gathering at Hominy, Okla, for intertribs dances. They are the guests of the wealthy Osages, said to be the richest people per capita in the world Maybe they are. They receive quarterly payments from the government of about $5,00O each because oil was struck on Osage lands
 The Osages are arriving at Hominy in costly motor cars, some of them driven by chauffeurs. They are the rich Indians, the theme of jests in newspapers and comic weeklies. Top hats and silk shirts lend splendor to the Osages, who move in a strictly modern atmosphere of gasoline. They are more fortunate than thou sands of poor Indians, scattered about this country and in Canada, who are repeatedly re- ported on tho verge of starvation because no soldsn wand has touched them, making thsm rieh over night.

WISE NEGROES TURN BACK
 THE SOUTH

Memphis negroes lured to Springfield, Mo-, to take the places of white men for the time being idle, wisely came to the conclusion that they did not want those jobs. They were glad to assure the whites who were out of work to that effect.
 These negroes are doubtless on the way home by this time, provided they have been able to obtain money to pay their railroad fare. Some of them are probably not unmindful of race riots in northern localities.
 Perhaps these negroes thought of what hap pened to men who took the jobs of other men at Herrin H., where weak and vacillating au- thorities stood by while one of the most brutal crimes in the history of the country was com mitted.
 The sensible negro remains in the south, where the racial line is drawn, but he is free to earn his livelihood as he chooses.

"Just back from a five-week trip up in Iowa, and must confess that it's good to get back in old Birmingham" said Coach Erwin of the Birmingham Athletic club.
 "It was good to get back to the Wood and see the Barons at work, even if the fans are giving them such razz of late, and am con- fident that the boys are coming through before the curtain drops in September
 "Some surprise to hear of Moley going, apd I certainly am sorry to hear of him leaving Birmingham after so many years of faithful service to the club, and I join in with his many friends here in wishing him the best of luck in his future work"
