THE SECRET OF OUR FAILURE

The following significant paragraph
is from "Objectives in Elementary Ru-
raj School Agriculture" just publish
ed as Rural Schools Leaflet No. IL, by
the US. Bureau of Education, De-
partment of the Interior, Washington:
eve have failed to teach the essen
tial principles of cooperation and
group action made necessary to our
social organization. We have failed to
teach group Internationally, so that
farmers have little ability to see the
effect upon the farming group of other
group programs. Those who have led
in rural thought have failed to con-
vince farmers in general that organi-
cation, as a means of economy in dis
tribution and self-preservation in the
struggle for existence against other
organized groups bent upon their eX-
ploitation, is a necessity. This ex-
plains why the farmer of the United
States, although the most efficient ag-
ricultural worker of the world, has
not bettered his lot even though he
has bettered his practice. Uneconom-
ical distribution and inability to COM
pete against organizations have rob-
bed him or a major portion of his
profits. He has managed to live and to
accumulate wealth. He has not been
pauperized, but he has avoided it in
too many cases only through druid
gerry, exploitation of his wife, and
children, and adopting a standard of
living such as is unjust. His lot is lit
tie better than in pioneering days. He
is entitled to more of the rewards Of
his toll than he has been able to get"

Why the Widow Could Not
Make the Loan


\ SHORT time ago a well-know physician
EAdied, leaving to his wife what was gener-
ally thought to be good-sized estate.
Soon after, one of the widow relatives asked
for a large loan for the purpose of making an
investment.
The widow was much impressed, but she
could not make the loan because her husbands
estate was held in trusr for her by a trust COM
pany. When this was known to the relatives,
all pressure for the loan ceased. Later the ven
ture was shown to be failure, and both were
glad the money had not been wasted.
Leaving your money in makes unnecessary for
your wife to decide important investment matters.
1t frees her automatically from pressure and inn
Portunity, sometimes insistent and Objectionable.

The Wainwright Cooperative store. sl native Eskimo concern--under Bureau of Education supervision operates the mine. The coal is carmed by scow. dory, whaleboat or some such craft to the Wainwright beach and stored there until trans portation to stations is available.
 My arrangement last winter was for delivery on the beach of 2,00O one hundred pound sacks at seventy five cents q sack.
 As l expect to be at Wainwright in March, I can inst ruct our people there to get out additional coal ton mage in anticipation of possible Nome market.
 If at any time can be of service to you in the matter Of fuel supply or of anything else for the good and welfare of the people generally, please consider me at your service
 Most sincerely yours,

 Tn both of these solutions trans uortation is the crux of the sittra- ton and it ifs believed that relief will have to come thru government intervention as the existing steam ship companies maintain a prohibi- tive rate. one that will not cheapen the cost to our community. When the government completes the Nome Snake River Harbor barges and boats will be able to land their cargoes cheaply and safely, con- drtion which at the present time does not obtain.
 MT. G. R. Jackson, of the Miners
 Merchants Bank. speaking for Wainwright coal stated that Vain wright is essentially Seward PeR- fnsula integrant and money spent in developing that coal field would rebound to the interest of the entire Seward Peninsula. Money spent at home circulates and builds mp the community, whereas money sent to the outside or other sections of AL aska, deprives this community Of it's legitimate revenues and benefits. As to the quality of the coal. experts state that Wainwright coal is infer flor to none in Alaska.
 Congested Mail at Unalakleet.
 Postmaster John Hegness stated that at the present time there is a congestion of mail at Unalakleet and that effort is being made to have the Department authorize a special carrier to distribute the ac- cumulated matter. Regarding the fire along the Railroad MT. Hegness stated he had been advised that very little mail for Seward Penin- sula was destroyed.
 Officers Reelected.
