READING NEWSPAPERS

Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, thinks there ought to be courses in the public schools on Chow to read the newspapers
 In view of the big part that the daily press plays in the life of the intelligent citizen, it is doubtless worth as much attention as is devoted to various other modern subjects
 The ordinary education nowadays is really las much a newspaper education as a public school education. It might almost be said that the biggest thing the schools can do is to teach children to read the daily papers with understanding and profit With such a start, they can carry on their education in definitely
 "A good newspaper says MT. Baker, is the most valuable informative agency of our time.'' Not doubt of it in the world But nowhere is there more need of discriminaton The safe rule for newspaper reading is the rule prescribed long ago by Lord Bacon for book reading: "Read not to believe and take for granted, but to weigh and consider'
 The editor prints much that he knows is true, much that he thinks is true and much of whose truth he has no means of telling, but which he feels obliged to print, on some one elses authority, because it may be true and so seems important. The good reader, like the good editor, must use his own judg- ment as he reads.
 As for discrimination in the kind of matter picked out for preferred reading in any news paper. that is done easily and naturally by the reader himself The modern paper covers the wide field of human life so thoroughly that anyone able to read can find something to interest him.

of great economic value as grazing lands for domesticated herds As the lands far to the south become appropriated for farming pur poses by the ever increasing population, the northern lands will be looked upon with more favor as the last great ranges of the continent.
 The establishment of transportation routes through the North will aid greatly in the de- velopment of the grazing industry. There must be way to get meat products as well as mineral and other products of country to market. Illustrative of this fact, the rein deer owners of Alaska already have begun to move their herds toward the new Alaska Railway. Anticipatory of the rail trans portation facilities, 1900 reindeer have been driven from Nome to the Susitna and Nenana valleys, paralleling the new Alaska Railway. These herds will form the nucleus of an annual deer meat supply to be routed conveniently to Seattle and distributed from that point. Formerly reindeer carcasses could be shipped out of Nome only during the short season of navigation.
 It is comparatively short time since Alaska imported her first reindeer and now they not only are supplying many Eskimo and Indian tribes with meats, but are helping feed the whites of Alaska, and keeping the money at home in the North. Canada's investigation as to the possibilities of making the reindeer the caribou and the musk oxen factors in the de- velopment of greater Canada is on sound lines. and the work should be followed up consistent ly and systematically and every possible aid and encouragement extended by the Federal Government-Dawson News.

WHAT SHALL WE PRINT?

One of the great problems of the newspaper business is whether to print matter that the editor himself likes or to give the readers the stuff thev indicate they care for the most. It is deep subject and one not to be dismissed lightly, or within the space of half column.
 Speaking broadly, however, the real answer is to give your readers what they like and suppress your own inclinations in the matter to large extent This is the general practice, modified only when an editor feels that his readers want something altogether undeslr- able for them to have
 As a result we see papers III the South playing down the news on the colored race, editors in coal mining districts playing up the news about the Herrin massacre in way that the workingmen prefer; and so on III 1n- numerable other instances. The reader IS to be pleased first. From him we get our CIT culation, and that in turn enables us to secure advertising.
 One does not tell fairy tales to bankers , convention, nor does one tell youngsters ot immature age about the mtricacles of mgh finance. One must cut ones cloth to one $ goods. And it is this that makes the pro- fession of newspaper making one of the most difficult of all arts. A doctors mistake may cause single death, but vicious article m a newspaper may lead to riots eliminating m the deaths of many people.
 Few of the big metropolitan newspapers that have been running any length of time can point to blameess existence and justly saV that thev have not been directly responsible for sudden deaths And this through the various means by which mind reacts over matter. Any time an unusual murder is com mitted it is almost certain that it will find its counterpart in some other part of the country, caused directly by the dissemination of the news about the first.
 Editors must write their matter for their readers. but must take care not to give them all they want, if their desires are unhealthy As we remarked before, it is a deep subject and one to be determined only by the exercise of common sense and desire for the upllft of humanity in general.

THE FINANCIAL HORIZON

Actna1 conditions on the North American continent. United States and Canada, show husiness conditions to be excellent over the greater part of the area. Business conditions are only reported poor in two localities, the one being a part of Nebraska, where crops were bad. and the other the western halt o1 Arizona. where livestock has run down. Far conditions are reported along the whole Rocky Mountain section from the Peace River to the Rio Grande. Also from North Ontario and North Quebec as we'll as from all of the Marl- lime Provinces. Florida also reports far conditions as likewise the seaboard strip or Georee and South Carolina. One other sec ton reports fair, that running from the At 1an+ic Coast eastward through Virginia and Tennessee. (including the northern border or North Carolina), and then turning northWard through West Kentucky and East llllno1s. Otherwise the remainder of the huge area IS in excellent business condition.
 Turning to Europe better conditions are noted but the improvement is not as marked there as in certain other portions of the World' Cuba is being set upon its feet by the ad- vance in sugar. This advance is necessarily also bettering conditions in other sugar eX- norting points, such as Mauritius. Demerara, Java, Queensland. Rubber prices have doub- led, greatly helping both Dutch and British East Indies. Silk has jumped from $6 to nearly $9 a pound, aiding Japan to recover it's commercial and industrial stability.
 Many of these factors are helping Europe because of European interests in the places and countries named. Indo-China, for eX-

POLISH UP THE SUN

Someone has said that "advertising is the sunlight of bisiness.'
 Without the sun and its beneficent rays no living thing could exist Science tells us that. But we must cooperate.
 The sun beats upon the Sahara and burns it dead It beats on fertile fields that men have titled, and men harvest lavish wealth. Business sunlight serves those who know how and have the will to use 1t.
 The light of publicity keeps our efforts in the sight and mind of the world.
 This sunlight will warm the blood of your business and stir it to new achievements
 Its warmth will penetrate every corner even to the bank account that measures busi- ness growth.
 And science also tells us, heat expands.
 Twill expand your bank account.

REFUNDING OF BRITISH WAR DEBT

Chancelleor Baldwin of the British tiX- chequer recently stated in the House of Com mons that Britain would not cease continuing to seek for more advantageous terms Tn the settlement of the British war debt. Wheroat United States Senator Shoot, presumlng that Chancellor Baldwin had reference to the terms obtained from United States, declares that the statement is ''unexplainabe. Yet Senator Shoot is, presumably, a business man. If m his business he had obtained loan upon which he was paying certain rate of interest and later discovered he could replace that loan at lower rate he would proceed to do so. That is all that Chancellor Baldwin meant to convey When money in London sinks to under three percent, the rate which IS to be paid to United States for the next decade Afterwards three and one-half per cent), 1t even now being around three per cent figure the then chancellor will borrow as much as is practicable in the local market and proceed to pay off as much as possible of the out standing debt.

 In this improved aspect of the world abroad is to be found the true keynote of present and future optimism.

NEW NORTHERN INDUSTRY

An excellent illustrated report in pamphlet form dealing with the reindeer, musk OK and caribou herds of Canada as prospective sources of meat supply on a large scale for the Dominion has just been issued by the Federal
 Commission which sat some time ago in Otta- wa The report goes exhaustiyely into the subject giving the statements of many prom inent Northerners, including several Yukoners, as to the extent such herds now exist in the North and the success obtained in the domes- tication of the animals. The experiences of the United States Government in introducing reindeer into Alaska is given much space. The report on the whole is of great interest to those vita1y concerned in the development Of the northern portion. of Canda From the statements of the many qualified men who appeared before the commission, there seems little doubt but what the vast areas from Hudson Bay to Boring Sea in time will become

THE NEXT FRONTIER

It is gratifying to learn through recent news dispatches that railroad lines already constructed cover 70 per cent of the distance between New York City and Buenos Avres, These roads, when united in one long line of steel, will mean much in the development Of South America and in the establishment of closer commercial relations between the United States and the Republic States and the Republics of the Southern Hemisphere. From the standpoint of both sentiment and trade, the final completion of a continuous line IS to be desired
 Of course very little freight would be car ried from one end of the line to the other. for it could be carried much cheaper by water and perhaps as quickly. But conditions winch control traffic between two ports would not prevail with regard to interior points Of pro (uction and consumption It is genera rrlo that if a commodity must be carried bv rai1 at both ends of it's tourney it will avoid if nossible. the delay and expense of trans shipment by water for a part of its distance That is to say, if certain product of 7nter''F Rrazil for example. were to be sh1pned [" Chicago and 1t could go to the seaboard and then be carried by boat to an American port and then sent by rail to Chicago, or on inc other hand, could be sent all the way by rail the general rule would be that it would go all the way by rail.

GENERALIZATION AND DETAIL

It is said of scientists of the Germanic school that they unable to see the forest because they are too busy in counting and classifying each individual tree in the wood Seldom is there born mind which is capable of great fidelity to detail and which at the same time is able to so subordinate detail that it does not become the aim of the work. Yet more seldom does that mind occur which knows the details and then can use them for broad, general policies. That mind was pos sessed by Napoleon. But even he never at- tempted to carry out detail; to catalogue the trees. He allowed his generals to look after that important task and then used the re- suits they gave him to such purpose that Ill a few years he was master of Europe Not because of his knowledge of detail but because he concentrated on the best use of the best detail he could find made ready for him. An American writer sums up the same truth as applying to business in different words but with the same thought at the back of his mind: "No man who insists on always selecting the dinner china and personally choosing the napkins ever really rises to the top in busl- ness.''
 Store courtesy is an absolute April courtesy.

THE FACE ON THE BAR
ROOM FLOOR" A modern melodra-
ma of thrills and romance, starring
HENRY B. WALTHALL, RUTH
CLIFFORD, ALMA BENNETT
and HARRY GRIBBON. "The Face
on the Barroom Floor" is not only a
great drama but great moral lesson.
1t isn't preachy-quite -he reverse, in
fact, but it unfolds a story that caus-
es every person who sees it to recall
some moment in his own career when
he might have made a similar sacri-
flee as Stevens does, and to wonder
whether in the final analysis he would
have the courage to undergo what the
screen star characterized. Henry B.
Walthall, the beloved Little Colonel
of D. w. Griffith's "The Birth of A
Nation, enacts the dramatic role of
Robert Stevens, the man who succ-
umbs to drink and then, buoyed up by
his sweetheart's faith and love, wins

HAY DRIED IN ENGLAND
BY ELECTRIC FAN PROCESS
Artificial Treatment Said to Increase
Its Feeding Value

LONDON-Making hay while the
sun shines is out of date. HAY IS now
being grown in many parts of Eng
land by methods over which the
weather has no control.
In these advanced sections the grass
is gathered, perhaps in damp state,
as soon as cut and crammed into a
rick in the stack yard. An electric fan
does the rest
When the rick is built a metal CYL
inder is inserted so that an ar cavity
is formed. This cavity will serve
3O-ton rick to insure the safety of the
curing and cooling process. A fan
placed in the cavity dries out the
grass and keeps ii from rotting.
1t is claimed that hay dried in the
rick has higher percentage of al
buminolds and carbohydrates, and
therefore increased feeding value over.
