POOL ERUPTS; NEW CEYSER

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Aug. Is. Without any preliminary manifes- tations of. temper or temperament, a hitherto unemotional pool near the head of Obsidian Creek today be- come violent and "blew up," erupt- ing a column of steaming mud and rocks three hundred feet into the air. Quite possessed with intoxica- tion over it's elevation from the status of puddle to that of a gey- ser, the pool thereupon continued to run amuck, hurling stones and mud dy water in all directions. Tourists passing in automobiles were sub- jected to bombardment, and the coun- try in the vicinity of the erstwhile native of gentle disposition, be- came unfit for human occupation. At last accounts the new geyser was still spouting.

ALASKANS SEE PROGRESS IN
 GRAIN GROWTH

ANCHORAGE, Aug. IS. - within the next fifteen or twenty years Alas ka will be supplying the hard wheat necessary for patent flour in the Unit ed States" in the opinion of mem Der of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. "That this is not a vision is amply supported by the history of the Canadian west where conditions are no better, aside from networks of transportation, than in the wheat belt of Alaska" he said "There are 15,000,- 900 acres of arabic land along the Alaska railroad, and last year it was demonstrated by actual results that fine hard wheat may be grown. AD- proximately 5000 bushels of wheat came off the land and this represents a few homesteads that have been de- veloped while the railroad was build ing. Once the Alaska railroad eff fects a colonization policy and set tiers are secured, the areas farmed will be sufficient to supply wheat for all local purposes and have a surplus for export
 "The outlook is so alluring that al ready steps are being taken to en- courage wheat growing. A small flour mill will be built at Anchorage next spring to serve the Matanuska agri- cultural fields and following this will come creameries and evaporating plants. A local cannery is to supply the nucleus of a vegetable and berry canning industry and within a dozen more years Alaska will eat from her own soil and have a surplus to ex- port.
 "An empire builder is all that isl needed to make of the Alaska railroad a monument equal to that created by James J. Hill in the Great Northern railroad and the projectors of the Canadian Pacific.

And I'd hate 10 have to shudder IL /

Any regular he man
Starting out to hunt for wickedness that

Mrs Grundy may be glad
To discover all that's bad,
But I'll tell the world that censuring would
bring no Joy to me.
I'd hate to have to school myself to watch

To find double meaning In each ges-
ture, glance or word;
I'd hope that I may never, when I watch
lady dance.
Feel the need Of wearing binders that
would keep my vision blurred.
A censor's lob, fear,
Wouldn't fill my soul with cheer;
I am sure I'd be unhappy looking always
/ prefer to try to find
What Is good and clean and Kind,
And I'm not shocked bv a baby that Is
shown without q shirt.
IF young man and a lady were, for In
l. stance, left alone
On a fifty-aere island with no other
island near,
I could sit and watch a picture Of them
perched upon a stone,
And never have suspicious, nor possess q
single fear,
But the censor, hapiess nut,
Has to specify a cut,
And he murmurs, Naughty, naughtyp
