Suggestions:
/. Stand your roast on two OF

before hroiling or frying. Don't be
frightened if it turns bit black-be

OFFERS BROAD OPPORTUNITIES


This is an age of intensive organi-
cation when in nearly every line of
endeavor we see various units being
combined for greater power. Pos
sibilities for doing really great
things seem limitless where there is
a praper unification of strength.
Pierre V. r. Key writes interest
ingly of the possibilities of the Bien-
NAL now In session at Asheville.
Experts in the ways and means
employed to advance music In the
United states have long looked with
hopeful eyes to It's woThen's music
clubs. The club, as a unit, and each
individual member commercially ac-
tive in promoting it's work, have per-
formed for their communities a serv-
ice. In combination with other mu-
steal women who, though non-mem-
bers of such clubs, have turned glad
ly to assisting in the spread and en-
Hghtenment. of the art, this array
of forces stands large In the appre-
citation of qualified Judges.

AS sympathizer with women's mu-
sic clubs ideals and activities, and
an observers of their application for
many years, the writer hopes for
these realibations which are in the

Encouraging To Extension.
A considerable NUMBER of the
large and Influential music clubs of
the country have not yet Joined the
federation. Many such, however,
have been enrolled as member clubs
in the past two years, and this is en-
couraging to the extension depart

From specific standpoints OF argu-

in adequate unification of many

exception Any organization devoted
to musies best interests can render
value in two ways, providing, of
course, that the administrative and

discharged. The first of these two
ways is toward that music which it
is planned to serve; the second con-

RUSSIA COMING BACK

Too much bread promises to be Russia's dilemma in 1923.
 From 1917 until 1922 bread was the most precious thing in Russia. A farmer could trudge into Moscow with a small sack of grain and trade it for grand piano or anything which the hungry city dwellers had to of fer. Now the same peasant could walk from one end of Russia to the other and excepting in few isolated famine districts, could not get a jack-knife for the same sack of grain.
 If the harvest of this year turns out as expected, Russia will have 2 surplus of grain which could be sold abroad. -
 From country which less than IS months ago was clamoring for  crusts, Russia has changed into a nation which promises within a few months to be swamped with wheat and rye.
 At Saratof, near certain com munes that have been listed as fam ine-stricken, rye flour, the staple of bread is quoted at less than 2 cents a pood, which is 36 pounds. At Samara, the district where even cannibalism occurred among the starving year ago, rye goes beg ging at less than 40 cents abushel.

Reports coming from two pros pectors who came out from the Ma hanni region to Whitehorse indicate that it is a wonderfully rich region for placer gold mining says the Wrangell Sentinel. A recent press dispatch predicted that there would be a rush into the Nahanni this month from Edmonton. The Nahanni region is much more accessible from Wrangell than from either White horse of Edmonton. At the instance of Capt. s. c. Harrington the Sen tinel sent an inquiry to Edmonton and received the following reply; Sentinel, May 1923

 No rush into Nahanni river coun- try for gold. Word cannot be receiv- ed until river steamers operate which will be over month Some gold talk en out last year and sixty claims staked.
