SHIPS THRIVE
 WITHOUT SELLING DRINKS

LONDNoN, April, Those who thought prohibition was going to kill passenger travel on American ships have found out they were mistaken In spi.e of prohibition and the fact that mid-winter is usually the dull est season for transatlantic travel, four of the American passenger lin- CTS which left England for America during the past six weeks had a full complement of passengers book ed several days before sailing time. In each instance applicants for berShs were turned away.
 The President Roosevelt was the first of the vessels flying the Am erican flag to experience the unu- sual rush of passengers in mid-win- ter. Thirty-five applicants for pas sage were turned away, and tenn porary dormitory had to be built to make room for extra third-class travellers The America left South ampton a few days later with more than 1900 passengers, every berth being filled

FARMERS ARE IN BAD WAY
 SAYS ARRIVAL FROM EAST

Conditions throughout most of the farming districts in the States are in a deplorable state. according to c. A. Benson, nephew of Julias Warner, well known oldtimer of this district, who arrived rom Minnesota yesterday. Conditions are particu- larly bad in his part of the country he says, in consequence of low prices prevailing. He cites the case of one of his neighbors who shipped two carloads of potatoes to market and did not receive enough for them to pay for the sacks they were shipped in. Wheat growers also are up a. gainst it, he says, with quotations below normal and labor scarce and < high priced.
 MT. Benson explains that demand for labor in the cities is such that farm help Is very hard to get now adays and the wage demanded by those who are still available Is such as to make farming almost pro- hibitive.
 Mr. Benson comes from Erskine, Minnesota and is seeing Alaska for the first time. He expects to join his uncle at his camp down the riy- CT within the next day or two and is sure he will like the country.

 The Nome radio is still unable to hear the Maud.
 Captain Amundsen expects to leave Nome for Wainwright about the middle of March and contem- plates attempting his trans-polar flight during the later part of May.

There is a diversity of opinion re-

indemnity against Germany by in
vasion Of the Rhur district, but rs q
whole the Americans are inclined to

Rlsd to be free from the bitter tangie
between the two European antagon-
lists. However, there is one action on
the part of the French that Ameri-
cans will not pass 50 lightly or for

ference shown by the French at the
recent departure of our soldiers from

coined over there when the battles
were raging and our help was vitality
necessary, but we did expect friend

on the fields of France that may in

require another generation or two be-

Is there used to be, but for some rsa-
it. People who were brought up in
country towns often remark on the
prominent place that sickness used to
have in the life of their community.
The chief topic Of conversation used to
be the condition Of this or that person
who had some disease
In those days the work Of nursing
sick people was done by neighbors,
most of whom had never had any
special training in the care of sick
people. The community seemed full
Of suffering and the thought of disease
seemed to fill the air.
As towns grow in size and people
spend time in talk about personal aft
airs and have wider interests, they are
OF 20 conscious Of each others affairs.
Hence sickness may be considerably
prevalent in these times without
people realizing it.
Still it seeuas rs if sickness were
50 common'as it used TO be, except in
cases where same epidemic like in
fluenza Eets . hold. For one reason,
Aeople call physicians more promptly
than formerly. They avoid many
serious illness rs the result of re-
lieving wrong. conditions before they
become dangerous. Also people
are more familiar with the laws of
health. They avoid many diseases BY
removing the cause.
Many families supposed to be
of exceptional intelligence, would
formerly have wells of drinking water
located close to an earth toilet, and
wens sareless in many other ways.
When they got sick they looked at it
as q misfortune which could not be
holped The community is gradually
Learning that disease is largely
preventable.

True to form, the recent conference
of coal operators and coal miners
dead-locked over the question Of a
minimum of six-hour day and six
day week for the miners. There
seems to be sufficient demand for
coal to provide employment for this
minimum, and also it seems the price
of coal is stiff enough to justify a
living wage for the miners. The
coal operator is entitled to all he can
get for such hazardous employment.
Also the public should be given some
consideration otherwise than being ex-
pected to stand for another long
