GREAT DEMAND FOR FoRDsoN
TRACTORS IN TWO BIG FIELDS

Both agriculture and industry are
making increasing demands for the
Fordson Tractor. While the use Of
the Fordson as farm implement is
extending in every agricultural sec
tion of the country as farmers come
to realize the advantage and economy
of power farming, most noticeable
feature of the sales is the growing
use of this sturdy and dependable
power plant in industrial and COM
mercial activities.
Contractors and builders are every
where adapting the Fordson to meet
their needs for power. either move
able or stationary, and road engin-
eers throughout the country are spec
flying its use with highway construc-
tion machinery
To meet this growing demand for
Fordson Tractors production is now at
capacity and for the first three months
of the year reached total of 27,0S7
as compared with s.S4O for the same
period year ago.

SOUGHT TO PRESERVE SOUL
Ancient Egyptians Had Firm Belief
That Another Life Followed the
Mortal Career.

When person Of Importance died
In ancient Egypt the embalmlng
process was soon started. An Incl
sion was made with a stone knife
for some reason, metal knives were
never used--and the viscera was
drawn out. The brains. too, were re-
moved. The organs were preserved
In jars, which were inclosed in a box
and put Into the tomb with the
mummy.
Strong embalming fluids were
poured Into the body, which was then
stepped in natron and left for 10 days.
After this 1t was washed and bound
with strips Of the finest fax, strong
gum being used to secure tho wrap
pings.
The mummy was first placed In a
wooden coffin. The later was de-
posted in another coffin, which in
turn was enclosed in third, shaped
In the form Of human being.
The Idea was that the soul was
free to wander through the abodes
Of the dead for period of about 1O,-
900 years, after which 1t was sup
posed to return and look for Its
earthly body. Transmlgratlon was
imagined to have taken place If the
body decayed or was disturbed.
The elaborate precautions taken to
preserve the dead In those far-off days
arose from humble beginnings dating
back thousands Of years, when the
dead were dried in the sun and placed
in a vault containing few flint in.
struments and pot or two Of food
for sustenance Of the departed's soul
on Its journey.

No spouts.

Eight-year-old Frances has been
taught by her parents the art Of keep
ing secret and 1t irritates her to be
suspected OF telling anything she is
asked not to tell. The other day she
was visiting Aunt Grace, who also
had young lady visitor. Aunt Grace
had warned Frances not to tell the
conversation, so she began to talk Of
things which were secrets when the
visitor looked at Frances and said:
Little pitchers sometimes have big
ears, my dear"
Frances looked back at her. 'Yes,"
she agreed lucldly, "but that doesn't
hurt IL they don't have any spouts."

GROWTH OF COLLEGE IS EN-
 COURAGlNG
(En1pire)

The reports of successful operation of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks and ot the increase in enrolment since it's opening early last September are in dicative of the bright future that un- doubtedly is in store for that institu- tion. Located far away from similar institutions. in a section but sparsely populated, competing at a disadvan- tage for students even from schools within the Territory, it started with a heavy handicap. It is evident how ever, that President Bunnell had wis toned most if not all of them in ad- vance and discounted them in his pre- opening plans.
 Everyone who has visited the insti- tuition and studied it's work in these first few months came away with nothing but praise for it's head and his assistants. That the college is funn- tioning ais evidenced by the hundred per cent growth in enrolment within thirty days of it's formal opening from si to twelve students. It is authorita- lively asserted that next years en- rollment will be at least twice, and probably three times as large as at present. These are facts worth con sidering. They offer concrete evidence of better than fair success. and entitle the institution, its trustees ana US faculty to the sincere support Of every Alaskan. It is one of the greatest pledges for the future the Territory possesses and how completely It IS fulfilled rests not solely on President Bunnell and the citizens of Fairbanks, but equally on all of Alaska.

THE HEREIN massacre is ending in a burlesque The attorneys for the defense up to the present time have succeeded in proving by competent witnesses that the trouble was started by the mine guards, who burned the companys property, and brutally mur- dered themselves despite the strikers, If the Ku Klu Klan can as easily purge themselves of guilt in the Louisiana trials it will take load off the minds of those of us who feared the defend ants were guilty as charged.

Seward is fortunate in having first class dairy where milk in any quan- tity can be obtained fro m pure bred Jersey cattle. Milk is the most nu- tritive and cheapest food known and is invaluable to the babies. If you are not feeding your child at least a pint of milk a day you are depriving it of a necessary bone-building food.
