Animal plaques Let Loose.

The true reason for famine prices Of
some articles Of farm produce In
Europe is given by DR.. e. A. Watson Of
the Health Of Animals Branch of the
Canadian Agricultural department,
Ottawa. He says that 1t comes from
disorganization and paralysis of the
veterinary service In many parts Of
Europe This has allowed infectious
disease to spread from country to coun-
try, such as foot and mouth disease.
So in several European countries milk,
butter. meat and other animal foods
are almost beyond the reach Of the
common consumer. Much suffering and
Ill health results especially among the
children.

NO ACCIDENTS IN NATURE

There are no accidents in nature.
Efficient workmen do not get things
mixed up. The right kind of leaves
are placed upon the right kind of
trees. Nobody goes to sleep at the
switch and thereby bxng about a
wreck. The transportation lines carry
their traffic unencumbered and unim-
peded.
The roses appear always upon rose
bushes. Grass grows upon the ground
and not upon the sides of trees. Bios
SONS appear where they should ap-
pear and not upon barbed wire fences.
The oak is an oak always and does
mistakes are made in the coloring, in
the shapes or sizes-or formations.
If you knew a maple leaf last year
you may know it this year; it is un-
changed. The fashions were estab-
lished in the beginning and do not
grow out of date. They are not acct
dentally changed through the whim or
incompetency of some meddler.
Today Is exactly as long as it was a
year ago. The sun has not slipped the
thousandth part of an inch nor the
earth varied from it's course. The
stars stay put, for they were put per-
manently and do not have to be reset.
The raindrops fall as they have al
ways fallen and find their place in the
earth as of yore or ripple to the same
old gulf to which they have rippled
eternally
There is nothing new in nature nor
anything that is old. No mistakes, no
accidents, no shortcomings, no guess

Lovely Garden but Ugly Home.

The most beautiful garden in Amer1-
ca, according to one of the most ia
nous living art critics, Is the master
piece Of John D. Rockefeller in the
Pocontico hills near Tarrytown, N. Y.
He calls it "Kijhuit," the old Dutch
name. 1t contains some beautiful statu-
ary, including the famous chocolate
colored Venus, believed to be the work
Of Praxiteles. 1t used to be the custom
to paint statuary in Greece. In boiling
the marble to remove the paint, the
wrong chemicals we're used and the
statue assumed a dark brown hue. The
oil king has published beautiful book
let describing this garden. Ten years
ago he published his Random Remi-
niscences Of Men and Events" The
same critic who praises his garden
calls Mr. Rockefeller's house one of
the most atrocious examples Of modern
architecture.

FOX FARMING BECOMING
 BIG INDUSTRY TO WEST

According to the biological report for 1922, fox farming is increasing in the Aleutian Chain, where permits for the use of suitable islands are still being issued free to natives and at a nominal charge to others. Sev- enteen permits were issued for isl ands in the chain during the year, making a total of 56 now in effect. Several permits were cancelled on recommendation of the bureaus rep resentative at Unalaska, some permit tees having died and other having failed to make use of their permits or having attempted to transfer them without approval. The natives are being encouraged to use all suitable islands for the propagation of foxes.
 A bill which was pending in Con- gross authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to lease all islands or other unoccupied Government lands lying outside the Government reserva tions in Alaska or issue permits for grazing or fur farming on them. Fur farming in the Territory is already becoming an important industry and can be made still more profitable by suitable legislation for the protection of those engaged in it.
