Alaska Cares for Its Pioneers.

In recent series of Illuminating
articles on the territory Sherman
Rogers said that poverty as it Is
known in the States Is unknown In
Alaska. This is largely true. But the
territory enters into the work of re-
lief Of restitution, care OF minors, etc.,
more lavshiy, comparatively speak
ing, than almost any individual state.
Its welfare work Is varied and broad
in scope. The most important single
undertaking of this nature is the pen
sion system and home for aged, needy
resid .nts. Between July l, 1916, and
December 81. 1922, for this purpose
there had been expended 432,2T0.71.
Pensions were paid amounting to
$112011.23.
The institution where pioneers are
cared for, located at Sitka, was main
tained and operated during the same
period at cost of $276,92G.56, while
construction of new buildings, which
included an infrmary equipped with
up-to-date conveniences and appli-
ances on small scale, cost about
$4,000.

Human Sacrifices Still
Persist in North Burma

Rangoon, India.-Slavery and human
sacrifices still are going on in some Of
the mountain districts of northern Bur-
ma, according to the annual report Of
the commissioner of the northeastern
frontier, published by the government
here. 1t Is in the territory known as
the Maya hills that the sacrifices take
place. Attempts by the government to
stop these practices have not entirely
succeeded.
In recent government investigation
1t was discovered that human sacrifices
in the Maya hills are never fewer than
from six to ten year. Sometimes,
when funds are plentiful. the number
in a year is 20 or 80 The most com
mon victims are Indian children, both
boys and girls, kidnapped from Assam,
although any kind of available slaves
may be included In the slaughter.
At the. time of the last government
estimate there were 271 slaves in
Hkampti, against 373 in the previous
year A few deaths of slaves had oc-
Cured, but the reduction was mainly
due to slaves redeeming themselves or
being released voluntarily by their
owners.

DEFENDS
RUHR OCCUPATION

Paris.-The impression drawn from
Premier Poincare's address at Charles
Vile is that France does not desire
to see an end of the entente and that
she hopes way to an agreement with
Great Britain may be found
Refuting many of the statements
made in the recent note of Marquis
Curzon-especially the argument that
the Ruhr occupation was illegal-he
referred to the alliance Of the World
war and pointed out that friendships
which remain sacred through hurri-
canes become neglected when the
tempest has abated." He added:
"As far as we are concerned we
should consider as criminal any act
or word which would tend to disturb
or weaken this alliance. We have
made, and will continue to make, all
efforts to draw our policy closer to
that of our allies and will always be
prepared to seek with them such al
leviations as concerted action may
bring to their sufferings."
The Ruhr occupation, he asserted,
is not illegal, inasmuch as the Yer
sailles treaty and collective allied dec
larations recognize the right Of the
allies to occupy additional territory as
security for. reparations payment.

Says Farm Loan Board.

Washington, D. C.-The practicable

Applications for loans are increas-

the credit banks, 1t was said, has gone
to cooperative organizations. with the
major grain crops and wool providing
the security for most of the borrow
ings.

Profitable Returns From
Laying Hens Are Largely
Due to Good Feed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Good egg production and profitable
returns from laying hens are largely
the result of properly balanced ra-
tons composed Of wholesome feeds.
Experiments in poultry feeding for egg
production carried on by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that it takes about 81 pounds Of
feed to produce a dozen eggs with
general-purpose pullets while the egg
laying strains, such as Leghorns, re-
quire about As pounds of feed. Old
hens require a much larger amount
of feed in producing dozen eggs.
Results From Simple Mixture.
Simple mixtures composed Of home
grown grains and their by-products,
supplemented with meat or fish scrap
or milk, give the most profitable re-
suits. A good scratch mixture is one
made of two parts cracked corn and
one part oats, while a mash of three
parts cornmeal and one part meat
scrap will be found very satisfactory.
A fair amount of green feed with
these rations should give good results
with the flock, since the mash and
scratch mixtures suggested combine
the animal-protein feed, bulk, and fat
required by a good balanced poultry
ration.
