SON OF DARWIN WRITES ON
 HIS IDEA OF HAPPY MARRIAcE

LONDON, Nov. 10.-In an article on Marriage As It Ought to Be-" Major Leonard Darwin, president of the Flu genics Education Society, and fourth son of Charles Darwin, author of "The Origin of Species" writes.
 "All fairly healthy persons who ar mire the qualities of their parents and relatives and who also proud of the nation to which they belong, should re alize that by having less than three or four children when they could have more they would be doing their best to stamp out the stock from winch they sprang and this merely to secure their own comfort.
 Such a course of action is not oniy immoral but it certainly is unpatriotic for if the wise and healthy couples of today do not pass on their good quali- ties to posterity by having a fair-sized family the nation will inevitably go slowly and steadily down hill.
 T am not advocating very large families for I hold that the popula ton is increasing too quickly as it is. But this increase is not of the right kind. am told tha+ Bargains are now struck. before marriage as to the number of children to be brought into the world To an old fashioned person such bar | ,aining between lovers is disgr

PROFIT IN TOURISTS

 Thirty million dollars in tourists business in one year Such is the val ue of travellers to British Columbia during the present year. The esti, mates were made by a Victoria finan- cier and he calculates that Vancouver alone benefits to the extent of twenty million dollars for the season.
 With such returns British Colum- bia has a veritable gold mine in the tourist traffic. It is shared by rail ways, steamship lines, hotels, shop keepers. and the public generally.
 British Columbia does net get all the !profits of the tourist passing into that province Many continue thru to Alaska and a percentage to the Yukon.
 Dawson, which is out on limb thus far in respect te the tourist traffic., has reaped harvest from the tourist this season. It is estimated that no fewer than one thousand tourists wis ted here, Atlin, B, C., which is farth- er south, received many more. As many as two thousand a season are re ported to have visited the glacier on | he Atlin waterways.
 The Northwest Tourist Association, which formerly did the publicity work or Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, with headquarters in Seat le. is now dissolved, and each state md the province now campaigns for he tourits business alone. It will pay Yukon and Alaska handsomely to do heir share. The business will grow md the revenues in time will rival hat of the most fabulously rich gold mines.

TRAPPER LOST ON SUSITNA
 FLATS FIVE DAY; NO FOOD

Chas. Bates, trapper on the Tal chulitna river, recently had an attack of neuralgia of the teeth and started down the river in boat, intending tC go to Anchorage for treatment. When he arrived at Susitna he found Mrs. Johnson, the roadhouse keeper, seri' ously ill and started to walk overland 10 the railroad for help. Nine miles on his way he was overtaken by a heavy storm, and low hanging clouds, causing him to lose his bearings. He wandered around for two days, before coming to a stream he recognized. He built himself a raft and embarked on it and for two days and nights drifted with the current He came out near the cabin of George Klatt, who fed him and gave him first aid, as he had been five days without food.
 He again started for Anchorage, reaching Point Mckinley, where he started smoke signal. A boat report ed the signal to the marshaTs office and launch was sent for him. An hour later Deputy Hoffman and Chas, Spaulding started out to the aid of Mrs. Johnson, but were compelled to turn back by a heavy snowstorm.
 Sam White left later to break trail the 24 miles to Susitna and will bring the sick woman to Anchorage
 Bates says he is through with trap ping as a result of the recent order on beaver. ,.

ARMlsTicE DAY

=. Five years ago tomorrow the most horrible war in the history of the world came to an end. to the great re lief of the psople of the United States and of the entire world. The struggle was one which directly affected every resident on the face of the globe, and which will still affect them for many more years, What a difference there is today and five years ago, At that time the Allies were talking of draw ing and quartering the Kaiser; Of dismen1bering Germany, of giving the boys overseas their jobs back and a substantial bonus for time lost, and the man who mentioned Germany was not desirable citizen,
 But short time has elapsed, and the Kaiser is still active in German politics, Germany has not paid any of her enormous reparations; the soldier has been kicked into the discard by an ungrateful congress, and the pres ent session may see a large appropri- ation made by benevolent officials, to keep our former enemy from starving Not only has the short space of five years brought this state of affairs to a pass, but investigations before a congressional committee shows that the maimed and wounded soldier has been grafted from and mistreated in a manner most dastardly.
 When the world laid down the sword for the pruning hook, and beat their weapons into ploughshares many per sons of visionary minds saw the mil lennium approaching. Wars were to cease, armaments destroyed and the United States police the world Today shows the nation honeycombed with graft, with it's laws set at naught and it's dissolution advocated by the Reds and Bolshevik.
 Had the United States adhered to its resolutions of five years ago, the world would have indeed beeen a bet. ter place to live. Every returned sol dier would have been shown the ap- preciation of his sacrifice by a grate- ful nation, the wounded and maimed would be tenderly cared for, and wars would indeed be banished for all time.
 If so much can happen in the past five years, what will happen within the next five? Are we to allow the rad ical to undo the work that was paid for by the blood of our best and brav- est? Shall we allow the preachment of anarchy and Sovietism to go un- punished? Isn't it about time for the men who marched forth to save the world to start in to save nation. If the youth of the nation is corrupted by sedition and anarchy, what hope have we for the future?
 Armistice Day! The day we ceased strife and destruction; the day that should have marked the beginning of greater and better things. How many

To End Wife Beating.

Wife beating henceforth will be con-
sidered a crime In France. The old
laws-under which a man was not
punished who "in order either to make
himself obeyed or else as a punish
ment for an un%faithful wife, beat her
have been repeated by the court fol.
lowing the acquittal of a husband who
had been prosecuted by his wife. The
husbands lawyers produced the old
edicts which authorized a husband to
mete out manual punishment" when
a wife refused to obey him, and said
that the husband was within the old
Roman laws which stated: "A man has
the right Of life and death over his
wife" The court agreed and released
the husband. but the wife appealed to
the higher court, which now has de
cided that the old laws no longer
stand, and that not only should a bru-
tai husband be punished but that also
a wife who has been beaten should
have cause for divorce.

Top Price Always Paid
for First-ClaSs Eggs

Here are some suggestions for the
production of good eggs, and for mar
keting them to get top prices:
Keep hens that produce, not only a
goodly number of eggs, but eggs OF
moderately large size, averaging two
ounces.
BE sure the laying focks are well
housed, are fed and watered regularly
and, above all, have clean, dry nests.
Gather the eggs every day and,
when the temperature Is very hot or
very cold, gather them twice a day.
Pen up all broody hens as soon as
discovered and keep them off the lay
ing hens nests.
Place all summer eggs, as 500 as
gathered, in the coolest place avail
able.
Get rid Of young ~.cockereis before
they begin to annoy the hens. Also
sell or confine old male birds from the
time spring Matching Is over until cool
weather In the fall.
