Yesterday was Columbus Day, and Christopher Columbus was tried at Cordova last week for illegal posses sion of liquor. If the original Christ opher could return to America he would hardly recognize the old place now. Not only would his stores of Chi anti be confiscated but the chances are the whole crew would be arrested and vagged. The immigration laws alone would prevent the future discovery of America by any member of Latin race. Taking it all in all Columbus discovered the country at the right time. Had he waited few years he would have been met at the water front and given blue ticket back to Genoa.

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason

Gaffer Doodle's looking seedy as he treads the paving stones; you might think him poor and needy, but he has all kinds of bones. With his assets he is weighted, he is not an also-ran; he has rubles kegged and crated, he has kopecks in the can. Yet he's all ways looking dingy, and his neighbors sadly say: "Gaffer Doodle is too stingy to appear in brave array. He might be, in' fine apparel, a credit to the town, but in firkin, tub and barrel he salts all his money down. And the strangers in our city, who are looking at the sights, say, It seems beastly pity you've so many hard up wights. Wonder graybeard needs the poodle that would buy a suit of clothes,' and they point to Gaf- fer Doodle, as in rusty duds he goes. Oh, it is public duty for money laden man to become thing of beauty or as near it as he can. But the gaf- fer buys kelly for six bits, or ten cents more, hunts for clothing old and smelly in the cast-off garment store; yea, the way the old man dresses makes the village boosters writhe, and he trims his beard and tresses with a sickle or a scythe." Gaffer Doodle mutters proudly, Eve been humble since my birth; man does not, by dres- sing loudly, prove he's fixed with ster- ling worth. Men may scoff, but I can bear it, for their jeers I care no hoot; for a man of worth and merit needs no hundred dollar >suit.''

The recent fatal accident at Anch- orage shows the necessity of parents and others impressing upon the Noungster the foolishness of crawling thru fences and over Instructions with loaded gun. During the hunt ing season in Alaska and in the States, there are numerous accidents which might have been avoided if the principals had used a little care and acted on the safety first plan. A loaded gun in the hands of a care less person is always a menace, not only to the hunter but to the parties with him. A life can be snuffed out so quickly that one hardly realizes the precarious hold the average hu- man has on living. Not only must he guard against his own careless ness but that of thousands of others around him. A little forethought will save many accidents. Don't carry a loaded gun when climbing over fences or thru thick brush.

SHIP BETTER QUALITY STOCK
TO REDUCE FREIGHT CHARGES

One Of the ways OF reducing freight
charges on livestock, says C. n. Arnett,
head Of the livestock department at
Montana State College, is TO ship bet
ter quality stock. The higher the per-
eentage Of hide and hoOf and waste
the higher the freight cost per pound
Of meat. And, rs II obeyIng the Bib
cal statement From him who hath not
shall be taken" the packers are un-
willing to pay as much per pound for
the steer with high percentage Of
waste as for the one that yields high
In edible meat.
According to Mr.. Arnett the average
beef animal in the United States
dresses out about 80 per cent actual
meat while a first class pure bred or
grade steer will dress out about 50
per cent OF actual meat. This little
difference Of seven per cent may not
seem very great and vet u means 20
pounds on 1,000-pound steer and
!. 400 pounds on a carload Of 20 such
steers. It means that the producer Of
such animals is shipping 1,400 pounds
more actual saleable meat than the
man who ships ordinary beef stuff and
In both cases the freight is the same.
In addition, says Mr.. AFnett, not only
are the packers willing to pay for the
extra 20 pounds Of meat on the good
steer but they will pay more for the
entire animal. pound for pound. A
choice steer will bring on the average,
better than two cents pound more
than the medium animal and more
than four cents pound more than the
beef stock graded as common.

Imperative During This Period
Of Declining Prices

Pointing out the importance of re-

years.
carried on by the United
States Department Of Agriculture"
says Mr.. Wilson. ..show that farm labor
became Is per cent more efficient dur
ing the period 1910 to 1920. While the
number Of workers decreased more
than four per cent, the total crop pro-
duction actually increased around ID
per cent.
an 1920 the average farm worker
cared for 20.4 acres of crops while in
1910 his average was but 25.2 acres;
an increase of nearly II per cen. Con
trary to general opinions the average
size OF farm has increased slightly.
In 1910 the average farm consisted Of
1873 acres while In 1920 the average
had gained 10 acres. During the ten
year period all crop acreage increased
about 10 per cent, while grain and hay
production, crops produced largely by
machine, increased about II per cent.
"Quite significant Is the fact that
during the 10000 decade the number
OF horses as compared to the number
of men on the farm increased about II
per cent. In 1910 there were l94
horses for each agricultural worker
while In 1920 the number had Increased
to 2.I3. The number Of acres per horse
or mule has also increased Each
horse or mule represented 100 acres Of
crops IN 1910 and 1913 acres In 1920.
More acres. more bushels, more
pounds per man must be the slogan Of
the successful farmer during the next
ten-year period" says Mr., Wilson.
