in the Territory, Alaska has demon strated that practically any grains and garden truck that can be raised in our North central States can be raised in Alaska. Owing to transpor tation costs and distances Alaska will never hope to compete with the States in an agricultural way At best she will supply her own people. The agricultural lands in Alaska extend along Cook Inlet, through the valleys of the Yukon, Panama, Susitna, and Matanuska; parts of the Copper and Kuskokwim and in scattered areas along the Southeastern coast.
 Alaska offers rare attractions to the hunter as the country aEourds in wild game in practically every section, Mount Mckinley National Park, which was opened by the Department of h. terior as a National Park in 1922, is the center of big game area.
 One of the great needs of the North land is more adequate transportation to and through the Territory. The completion of the Government Rail- road, 467 miles into Interior Alaska, is the first step which should be followed by the building of various spurs "nd roads into adjoining min ng distri cts. More adequate steamship service be- tween the different towns is also need ed to supplement the service of the steamers plying between Seattle and various ports. Two steamship con- panies operate boats from Seattle to Southeastern and Southwestern Alas ka In addition to the Alaska Govern ment Railroad and the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad from Cor dova to Kennecott, the White Pass & Yukon Route extends from Skagway in Southeastern Alaska, for about 70 miles in American Territory, continu- ing from the boundary for 90 miles to Whitehorse, in Yukon Territory, and head of navigation on the Yukon River.
 Capital is Alaska's greatest need. The vast extent of the country's re- sources is unquesteoned and devel- opment awaits only the interest and investment of capital. Until such re- sources are developed, local industries will be limited. Opportunities will de- pend largely upon the initiative and general resourcefulness of people to create openings for themselves. TO the man who is able and ready to turn his hand to any employment that may come up, the North will always give welcomes; but until industries are established any other kind of man may find opportunities restricted.
 The white schools of Alaska are under the direction of Territorial Commissioner of Education with head quarters in Juneau. Graduates enter the University of Washington, Seat tie, Washington, with the same stand ing as graduates of the Washington State schools The College of Agrl- culture and School of Mines opened at Fairbanks the Fall of 1922.
 Alaska is an ideal summer vacation land and it has become so popular with travellers that the number Of pas sengers carried each Summer is ma terially larger than the previous year. Nowhere can one see as much and have as complete change at such nominal expense, as on a trip to Alaska.

 SHOCK TEACHERS

NORWALK, April 4.-"What to do! What to dol" is the plaint of the school board in this committing town that daily sends train loads of busl- ness men to labor in Manhattan. High school girls are smoking and drinking, wearing knickers and paint and other things that set against the New Eng land conscience, the school board claims, and the girls simply ignore that boards orders, nor will their par ents apply the slipper.
 When the school board put an end to official high school dances" hop ing to curtail wild doings, the girls simply said: "Very well, we will hold unofficial dances" And they did. When a school board member in public speech declared school dances were wrong because they led young people to marry too soon, the girls laughed and a sudden rise in engage ments was noted.
 Things came to climax when the high school put on its annual musical show, "A Glorous Girl" in local the ater. A group of eight "chorus girls smoked in their dressing room as they donned their flimsy costumes, and when they returned from doing their turn the dressing room was afire and IL :z-lS4 ...I. &I~s, ,kv tunes. The girls put out the fire and concealed the facts for two days.
 So the school board is meeting occa- sionally and the query rises: "What to dol" as the committing fathers say "girls will be girls"

THE MAKING OF THE BIBLE

Many people are unable to under stand certain things in the Bible. To- day we look at things with a deter imitation to get at the actual facts. When we read in the Old Testament that Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still and that it obeyed him, how are we to explain it, Did it actually stand still or was it a poetical state ment?
 As a result of careful study of the passage it is evident that fragment of an ancient poem is quoted by Josh ua as a prayer which follows:
 Sun, stand still on Gibeon' And Moon in the vale of Aijalon!
 And still was the sun and standing
 the moon,
 Till nation took vengeance on it's
 foes."
 There is no difficulty in understand ing this if we read poetry as poetry, and not as prose. Joshu's fear was that darkness would come upon him before the rout of his enemies was complete If the day would only hold out, the enemy would be conquered. This sit uation explains his prayer.
 Other perplexing passages will be considered at the service at St. Peters Church on Sunday at 12 o'clock noon when the Rev. Burdette Landsdownt will preach on the subject, "The Max ing of the Bible.'

FOR THE COMMON GOOD

YOU shall never be great by your selfish
deeds
And the thing which you boast as skill
And, save it is spent for nations needs,
In vain is the iron will.
For ever the badge of the greater man
Is to sink himself for the common plan.
THIS is the lesson that life has taught
Since the days of the earliest age
Who, for himself has lived and fought,
Has vanished from history's page
And all in vain was that mortaPs birth
Who did not better the ways of earth.
GATHER your money and build your
fame
And rise to the heights of skill,
But Time shall give to the winds your
name
When your boastful voice is still; ss
By the joy you take you can never live,
For fame depends on the joys you give.
TRADE and barter and strive for gain
And sweat for our daily bread;
But all you do for yourself is vain
When once is your stomach fed.
For the world has plenty of selfish deeds,
But toll, for the common good, it needs.
Edgar Il. Guest.

THE LILT OF A LAUGH

I've toiled with the men the world has
blessed,
And I've toiled with the men who failed );
I've toiled with the men who strove with
zest,
And I've toiled with the men who
walled.
And this is the tale my soul would tell,
AS it drifts DER the harbor BAR
The sound of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
The men who were near the grumbler's
side, @
Oh, they heard not word he said
The sound of a song rang far and wide,
And they hearkened to that instead.
Its tones were sweet as the tales they tell,
Of the rise of the Christmas star;
The sound of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
If you would be heard at ALL my lad,
Keep laugh in your heart and throat !;
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep hold on the cord of laughter's bell,
Keep aloof from the means that mar;
The sound of Ugh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
