 teror points and left on the Alameda for Portland on business connected
 with his company. He will return north on March IA, bringing with him

From Nenana the company will go to Goldstream, ten miles out of Fairbanks, where mining scenes will be portrayed, showing the aurif- erous metal being washed from the earth by old sourdoughs. The con- pany will then go to Seward where a big spectacular wreCkiGe scene will be staged on the beach, From Seward a jump will be taken to Valdez, and sets will be mace in famous Keystone Canyon, and a boat will be chartered to take the com pany to Columbia Glacier, where the other scenes will be filmed. From there it will come to Cordova and build sets on the banks of Lake Eyak; and the company will shoot Abercrombie rapids in 35 scows, spectacle that will be awe-inspiring in the extreme.
 There will be six of these great sets, one at Abercrombie, one at Cor dova, Valdez, Seward, Anchorage, and Nenana, all featuring the most thrill ing spectacles obtainable. It is ex- pected that over one thousand Alas kans will take part in the great work
 Production Manager Lewis wishes to inform the people of Cordova that the star of this picture is ALASKA, with five of the best professional art ists playing the leads. There will be 16 professionals in the company

Biggs, Valdez; W. Os- borne, Kennecott; Alfred Clark, La touche, w. H. Whittlesey, Seward; Alex Mcdonald, Anchorage: c. C. Held, Nenana, and E. H. Mack, at Fairbanks. All are giving their time to the company in order to have everything in readiness for the com pany when it comes in March. Capt. Lathrop, and Manager Lewis have decided that one print of this picture will retained in Alaska, and shown here before the picture is released in the States, thus giving Alaskans a chance to criticize the nrOductiOn before others see it.

LESS WORK MEANS HIGHER
PRICES

What much of the world requires
is more real production work.
There is no theory that can take
the place of labor to get things done.
No sophistry can make Russian land
yield good crops if Russian peasants
will not till the soil. Nobody can
squeeze prosperity out of the coal
mines when they work only one day
in every three.
Mr.. Ford's dollars can earn him
but a meager return if he kept it
toiling only 1876 days in year. Cut
ting down hours of work means lift
ing the price of everything. There
can be no other result because more
hands are needed to produce given
quantity of any desired product
Let the farmer work five instead
of twelve hours day, and your
bread will at once treble in price, and
so will your meat and milk and vege-
tables Those who preach for a whole
sale reduction in hours of toll, preach
for wholesale increase in the price
of all you buy. You cannot escape it.

FRENCH GRATEFUL FOR U. S.
VETERANS SUPPORT

Alsacian veterans of the world war
many of whom wera forced to serve
IN the German army and were sub
jeeted to German military prcpagan-
da for more than four years, have
written to National Commander Ows-
ley Of the American Legion, COM
mending him on the stand taken by
the Legion in support of Frances ae-
ton in occupying the Ruhr valley in
an attempt to force Germany to pay
the reparations agreed to in the peace
treaty. The organization of Alsacian
ex-serviee men is composed largely
Of men who were indicted against
their wills into service under the Ger

the Kaiser's army to serve under the

NOT A SINGLE AMERICAN
PLANE REACHED THE FROM


Profiteers and war contractors who
made fabulous sums out of the gov
eminent during the war had better
go down to Washington and Square
up, else the American Legion will
get after them and see that they do.
This was the declaration of National
Commander Alvin 0wsley of the
American Legion at recent meet
ing held in Muncie.
Mr.. Owsley made an earnest plea
for the punishment of the contractor
who he alleged stole millions of dol
lars during the completion of war
supply contracts. He characterized
the airplane construction as "the big
gest steal in the history Of America. F."
Il know men and l can give you
their names, who profited hundred,
two hundred, three hundred millions
of dollars out Of those airplane con-
tracts" he asserted.
'Not single battle plane made by
the American contractors reached the
front, though the government made
an expenditure of Sl,05l, 100000 in
The production of these planes"
Mr.. 0wsley said that when the gov
eminent started checking up the war
contracts that were in effect during
the two years of the war the first
1900 of these resulted in the repay
ment of S47,000,000 to the treasury of
the United States, and that there re-
main nearly $4,000 more of these
contracts to be examined.
The Speaker added that at the very
moment that the ex-service men of
this country were told that the Uni
ted States could not afford to pay
the proposed adjusted compensation.
that the secretary Of state was asking
Congress for loan Of several mill
lions Of dollars for the protection of
Liberia. He said that the expenditures
for the adjusted compensation bill
would not reach the total costs of
sixty days additional warfare. which
was prevented by the bravery of
American Troops.

For instance, we have responded to

BRIGHT LITTLE BONNETS
CHASE GLOOM FROM
LATE WINTER

Not everyone can go to Miami in
February or March, but almost
everyone may make inexpensively
gay little hat TO cheer the last days
of winter and last her through the
spring as we'll. Time was when we
wore our dull winter bonnets right
up to Easter morning; even if one
has been purchased a week or SO
ahead of time it stayed done up in
its tissue paper wrappings until the
church bells rang, sometimes as late
as the end of April.
March hats are gayer than any
shown later in the season because
the milliners know that they must
show something different and aston
ishing if they hope to tempt the FEM
mime world, according to Mrs. Cath
arine Gniebel, extension specialist in
clothing of the State Agricultural
College This year there are tiny
pokes with little or no trimming and
as becoming as possible. Most any,
one looks years younger with some
thing of this sort on her head.
Why not make a little hat like
those shown in the shops? Ribbon
is used profusely. Edges are bound,
and there are bows and rosettes and
loose waving ends. Many rosettes of
pleated ribbon have bright colored
| flowers in their eenters. Lace is
popular, too 1t is the trimming of
the moment and surely nothing can
be more becoming and feminine.
Everywhere you turn you find it,
large hats and small hats, all with
lace somewhere about their shapes.
A hat, especially when home
made, is not big investment. 1t is
not like buying gown or fur coat.
Lace or ribbon; poke or toque, you
cannot go wrong. Just be sure it
suits you as to type and color and no
matter if the grounding did go back
into his hole for another six weeks
of winter you may wear your bright
little hat and be as merry as possible.

AND
HOME FACTS
FOR NURSING MOTHERS FOOD
AND REST BIG FACTORS

Ignorance is one of the main fac
tors involved in the inability of a
mother to nurse baby-ignorance
of the laws of the body. The mother,
wonderful though her powers be, can
not manufacture milk unless the right
kind of food is given her out of which
to make it. She cannot build bricks
out of straw.
First of all, advises DIR. Florence
Powdermaker, nutrition specialist of
the State Agricultural College, IN
the second of her series ON the
young Mother, the mother must
not have her strength depleted before
the baby's birth. If she has had to
rely on her own body substance rather
than on her food to build the baby
she may have little strength left to
nurse him.
So during pregnancy her diet
should include among other things
such growth foods as a quart of milk
and at least two vegetables besides a
potato day, fruit twice day or
oftener, and also about 8 quarts of
liquid, (including the milk. Eggs
should also be included. The food
needs for the nursing mother are the
same although she will probably want
to eat more.
Besides the proper food, it is es-
sential that the mother should have
sufficient rest, both beforehand and
after the babys birth. By rest, we
mean real rest, complete relaxation
even if it is only for short time
morning and afternoon. Before the
baby's birth, the mother should not
do the heavy household tasks. After
wards, she should remain in bed
from 10 to Is days. Then she can
stay out of bed for an hour the first
day, gradually increasing the length
of the period She should not as
sumo her entire household duties for
6 weeks. This has direct effect on
her milk supply as do all forms of
overfatigue and nervousness.
Finally, says DR.. Powdermaker,
don't worry! 1t does no good and
may do harm.
