WASHINGTON COMMENT

The comparative unimportance of certain works
Of men, held by him at the time as of the highest
interest and the amazing life inherent in what, in
IFS beginning, is often looked upon as of no impor-
lance strikingy illustrated in two news dispatches
of the day
One tells of the Armistce Memorial formed from
the railway carriage i'll which the armistice was
signed falling into ruins, although it conveyed
to the grounds of the Invaldes in Paris for preser
walton. The other records the mearthing in what
was one ancient Phoenicia of what is described as
the earliest known alphabet, dating back to at least
1900 B. G. {; ,fw~EUgs8'R
The Moabte stone, discovered in 1889 dating
back to $50 B. c. is the earliest record of an alpha
bet the world possesses except for this new discov-
cry.
To us of today the Armistice was the most mpor-
tant event in our lives. 1t meant the end of war
privation, death, suffering 1t meantso we thought
"a new world order charity, peace, brotherhood of
nations, rehabilitation, reconstruction happiness
To those who carved them, the stones on which
they wrote their alphabet were probably of no
greater impOrtnce than the primer in which we
print ours. Yet the alphabet earliest of literary
inventions, revOutonized the world and may Justly
be considered to be the foundation stone of cvliza
ton well education. Without the alphabet
there would be. only picture writing such as the
Chinese have; clumsy, inefficient and keeping such
wisdom as there is, only for the few
The humble invention which made the world,
lives; even It's earliest record persists for thirty
enc centuries And our boosted monument of our
great peace beginning, is falling to ruins after six
years.

A BETTER YIELD PER ACRE

Experience and experiments have proven that the
most economical farming cotton, corn wheat and
many other commodities, is done by those who make
the largest yield per acre.
1t has been proven by hundreds of experiments
that make money off Of five Of
cotton well fortified and thoroughly worked than
he can off of ten acres not properly fertized and
poorly worked.
A farmer who diyersifes his crops and builds up
his land raise good cotton at a small expendi-
ture for commercial fertilizers However, where
there is no Investigation there must be a liberal
of commercial fertilizers to insure good yield
of cotton.
There are many farmers right here in Cobb coun-
ty who will attest to the above statement and who
have by experience found out just what is stated
above Others would do well to profit by their ex-
perience.
Planting time is near and it is well that we peo-
pie of Cobb county begin to do little real planning
if we expect to prosper and be happy

Five million children in the Unit ed States are celebrating Christmas season this year in a fuller measure, knowing how other boys and girls in 40 countries celebrate their fuie- tide. Getting acquainted with one another has been accomplished in a truly fascinating way in spite oi distance, differences in language customs, home life, civic and ic sociai organization and countless varia- tions in daily living.
 Letters have been the chief means of stimulating this international friendship, telling in infinite detail just how it seems to be boy in Alaska, what sports engross boys and girls in Canada. how leisure time and study time is managed in countries across the Atlantic, wher. the allurinY products of the Pacific originate and what lonely hours are enlivened in isolated spots when let ters come from other boys and girls in centers of. population. A
 Latest among these letters, port folios andgifts exchanged by schools comes one from Sevoonga, Alaska, 35 milss from. the Siberian border. This school of only 36 children wants to know other schools and with the true imagination of child hood has selected a school in Florida with which to correspond.
 Imagine if you can, what the children will think when they open the portfolio and find that the scraps of baby fur seal, white fox,, bits of precious old ivory, walrus teeth. a tiny bead of rich ivory, sinews of walrus and bits of, whale bone and leather. are not just that but Fifty Cents'' the price of years sub scription to the Junior Red Cross and also reaches. not only the 5.000.- 900 children in the United States but 3,0O0,0O0 more boys and girls throughout the world.

transportation opens again for ths short three months that Northern Alaska is in communication with the outside world.
 The letters included in the port folio answers questions that natur- ally come up when one thinks of 9 small community cut off from the outside world for three-fourths oi the year. They tell us the names oi their garments, what they eat and how they secure it, the joy of hay ing a radio, about the mastadon ivo- ry mines, the fur trade, reindeer the faithful dogs, upon which they rely for transportation during the long dark winter. This little school at Sevoonga, Alaska, has sent mes sage out of the North that children in the United States will long re- member as coming from the school farthest north on the North Ameri- can Continent. When we dress today we can imagine the Eskimo children "tht dearest things you can possibly i'm agine" according to the writer of this charming story of their port folio, stepping into their clothes which they describe in the follow ing matter of fact way:
 "The needle is made of ivory.
 The whale sinew is good thread.
 Our mittens are made of seal
 skin. My parka is my coat. It is
 reindeer skin. My Mukluk is made
 of real skin. It is my boot or my
 shoes. My beads are very pretty.
 The Kyluk is made from walrus
 intestine. The Kyluk is my rain
 coat. We sew. our clothes with an ivory needle and we use whale
 and reindeer sinew for our thread Most of our clothes are made of
 fur. They are very warm.
 Equal in charm with the message from Eskimo-land, a history of Can ada has found a place in the schools in Berkeley, Calf. This history compiled by A girls and boys, with utmost care, is unique too, rare limited edition, bound and illus trated by "The Cougars branch of Junior Red Cross in Vancouver B. c.

WHALE CEASES HERRING
 INTO SMALL LAGOON

The recent depredations com mitted by whale in the lagoon at Kachemak bay, Seldovia, have fur nished more excitement for the her ring fishermen than anything that has occurred there in years. The fishermen, aided by Fish Commis- sioner Wm. P. Studdert, spent most of their time gunning for the huge mammal, and it is estimated the whale is carrying more than one hundred bullets in it's hide as re- suit of it's experience.
 The lagoon, where the excite ment occurred, is body of water about four miles long and two miles wide connected to Kachemak bay by a narrow, shallow channel. The lagoon is recognized as one of tn finest herring banks on Cook Inlet and is a mass of nets during the season. The whale evidently was chasing a school of herring, and followed them into the lagoon. Afte, negotiating the channel at high tide the whale became enmeshed in the nets and could not find a way out The first day there it destroyed twelve. nets, and during the tbreo weeks that followed. nets were de- molished every day.
 Every frearm in the camp wa brought to bear on the whale, which sported from one end of the lagoon to the other, leaving wreck and ruin in it's wake, but unable to find the outlet. Finally, after nets to the value of about five thousand dollars had been destroyed, it is stated the whale followed a gasboat out of the lagoon and headed for the deep sea The amount of lead carried away by the leviathan of the ocean is es- timated at various amounts. but itis known fact that many hits" were registered by the amateur whalers. l It is said the winter herring run is late this year, but is on in earnest now. and the packers expect to pack a large amount before the first of the year.

 This Canadian Portfolio was ex- hibited in Canada one whole month before it was sent to the States, not for the children alone to see, but for the adults, parents and educa- tors alike. Now it is one of the prize exhibits in the school museum in Berkeley.
