FIRST NATIONAL BANK TO OPEN FOR BUSINESS
 LATTER PART THIS WEEK

The Ketchikan First National Bank whihc has been in process of organization for the past several months, will open for business the latter part of this week, it was an nounced by J. E. Rivard, the asso- citation correspondent.
 A year ago the first of October the proposed new organization was launched. The intention was to or ganize a Territorial bank, but due to the stand taken by the Territo- rial Banking Board, the application for a charter was changed from a Territorial to a National Charter After an investigation by the Ma tional Bank Examiner, the popula- ton showed that it required cap ital stock of fifty thousand dollars before a charter could be granted. This necessitated more delay. On the fifteenth day of September last. the correspondent received a wire from the Comptroller of the Curren- cy. to commence business. The fix lures were ordered shipped and are now being installed by Al Kriedler-
 E. A. Rasmussen, president of the Bank of Alaska with branches at Anchorage, Cordova. Skagway and Wrangell, and who is also president of the Ketchikan First National Bank, and who is now in Seattle, will arrive Monday, and will be fol- lowed by w. A. Fries, heretofore cashier and vice president of the Bank of Alaska at Skagway, later in the week, when the new institu- ton will open for business. Both MT. Rasmussen and MT. Fries are well known in Alaska, are affable. courteous and well thought of by all who know them, and will be pre- pared to welcome all patrons Ketchikan Examiner.

Local investigators of playground and child delinquency records find and disclose a relationship between the two that is illuminative, says the Washington Post. A check-up of delinquency arrests over a two- weeks period shows that, of the ninety-seven arrested, only one liy- ed within three city blocks of mu- nicipal playground.
 It is warranted assumption that children living close to playgrounds avail themselves of the opportuni- ties so offered, and the fact that most of those arrested lived at dis tance from such areas further war rants the deduction that remoteness of playgrounds makes for delin- Quency. This is in line with gener- ally accepted conclusions that healthful play and recreation pro- vide outlet for youthful energies without leading to vice and crime.

New Discovery Heals Rupture
 Without An Operation

Kansas City, Mo. .(Special)- A new discovery which, experts agree, has no equal in curative effects in all rupture cases, is the latest ac- complishment of the well-known Hernia Specialist, Dr. Andrews, S26 Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The extraordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hun dreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture ab- solutely healed. Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for years. It is Dr. Andrews ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick re- lief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send 1t on free trial to any reader of the Wran- gell Sentinel who writes him. He wants one person in each neighbor- hood to whom he can refer. If you wish to be rid of rupture for good. without an operation, take advan- tage of the doctors free offer. Write him today.-Advertis

N. K. Walker We'll Received
 In Wrangell

Norman R. Walker. candidate for the Territorial Senate, was in Wrangell the first of the week. On Tuesday evening he addressed the audience at the Starland Theatre during an intermission between reels
 The fact that Mir. Walker was to speak had been advertised on the showbills during the afternoon with the result that there was full house. MT. Walker talked principally about the welfare of the fishing in- dustry and showed a thorough and sympathetic understanding of the subject
 He paid his respects to the non resident fisherman by declaring himself in favor of a tax so high that he would have to either locate in Alaska or stay out.
 He is also opposed to the appoint ment of carpet bag officials. The most noticeable thing about MT. Walkers address was the fact that he did not hesitate to let the audi ence know where he stands, and his words wer spoken with such convic- tion as to leave no doubt that he would continue to stand the same way after the election.
 4 prolonged applause followed the close of MT. Walkers remarks.
 MT. Walker was the first candi- date to appear before Wrangell audience during the present cam paign. It is hoped that other candi- dates will be along before the elec- tion.

Value of Separated
Milk for Pigs

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
/ The Michigan Experiment Station
/ has recently reported an interesting
experiment in growing pigs on cors
and water - compared to corn anc
separated milk The pigs that got the
milk gained 22l pounds each in FIVE
months. Those on corn and water
/ gained only 9-5 pounds.
At the end Of five months the milk.
| fed pigs we're marketed and the two
stunted pigs put in separate pens
] Pig No. I got shelled corn. water anc
a good mineral mixture; pig No. got
corn and separated milk. and though
he weighed only SO pounds at seven
months old, he showed a gain of 301
pounds No. I gained only 2s pounds,
wei CHING 70 pounds at one year. Then
No. vas marketed and No. got
separated milk and corn for five
months. At the end Of that time, he
had gained 27s pounds, weighing $50
pounds, showing that separated milk
can brng out even a stunted pig to
make good gains. The gains with
separated milk cost 81 cents per lb.,
with skim milk at 35 cents per 100
lbs. Gains without milk cost 1877 to
81 cents per pound
Altho separated milk contains valu-
able mineral matter. this was evident
ly not what was lacking in the corn
The main deficiency was in protein and
in the growth-promoting yitamlnes.
both Of which were supplied abundant
ly by the separated milk. Many peo-
pie try to feed pigs on corn alone.
while others who have dairy cows,
separate the milk and throw the skim
med milk away. Both are making a
serious mistake. II separated milk is
not available one should use alfalfa
pasture, tanksge or some other pro
tein supplement along with corn.
Some will say that they get better
results on corn alone than were OBJ
tanned by the Michigan station. This
is probably true where pigs are get
ting some grass or weeds TO supply
them with mineral matter and vitam-
ines and with some of the supplement
airy proteins. The main thing TO re-
member is that corn is not complete
food for growing animals.
Separated milk should be considered
as supplementary food. not as a
complete food in itself. Where fed in
moderate quantities, two or three lbs.
of separated milk may take the place
of one pound of corn. In large
amounts count eight or ten pounds of
milk equal TO one pound of corn. A
good rule is TO count 100 pounds of
separated milk worth half the price
of corn per bushed.

COLORADO RANGE AND
LIVESTOCK REPORT, SEPT. 1. 81

Grass has matured in most sections
Of Colorado due to the long drought
and as vet is generally furnishing suf-
ficient feed of excellent nutritive value
according 20 the report OF the United
States Division of Crop and Live
stock estimates. II is feared. how
ever, that the supply will become short
earlier than usual in some districts,
and FOR this reason the outlook for
winter grazing Is somewhat unfavor-
able. II rains come new growth cf
grass may yet be made, but even ii
such growth occur, the season is too
far advanced to permit the proper
maturing necessary 10 supply good
winter grazing, and the present grass
supply would be much injured in
quality. The average condition Of
range on September first was 81 per
cent of normal compared with 81 per
cent 4 month ago and log per cent a
year ago. The higher mountain
ranges are considerable better than
those on the lower attitudes or on the
plain. In a few districts the graso
is reported TO be so dry that if strong
winds should occur, the loss from
blowing would be heavy.
Cattle continue TO be in good condi-
tion, as ranges have not been over
stocked, and the ripened grass has
been of fine quality, enabling stock to
put on good. firm flesh. The condi-
tion of cattle averages 90 per cent Of
normal compared with 95 per cent q
month ago and l04 year ago. Few
sales are reported and prices continue
TO be Improbable to the cattle grow
ers.
Sheep ranges have generally suffer
ed somewhat less from the drought
than other ranges, and the high pro-
ductive value of the grass is reflected
in the firm flesh and fine general con-
dition of both sheep and lambs. The
condition of sheep for the state aver
ares 92 per cent Of normal compared
with 80 month ago and l04 a year
ago.
This is said to be the driest season
on record in Delta county. Range
grass is dry, but putting on solid fat.
Water very scarce. Grass cured max
ing good food. Showers in the past
few days have helped the higher
range, especially for sheep. Food

COLORADO SELLS EGGS LOW
AND BUYS THEM WHEN HIGH

tBy u. &: hrum, Poultry Specialist
Colorado Agricultural College):-
There Is talk of over-production OF
poultry and eggs in the United States
Recent increase in production is due
TO the putting of more hens upon
farms which have failed TO make mon
ey from such general lines as wheat
and beef and to the securing of better
stock which has undoubtedly increased
the output of poultry and eggs very
materially. That increase is estimat-
ed to have been twelve per cent with
in the last year.
The United States census for 1919
indicates that Colorado produced a
little less poultry products than we
consumed. The impression has been
that some S5,000,0O0 worth of eggs
were shipped into the state annually.
This is undoubtedly SO, but most of
these shipments are made during the
winter months to make up for low
winter production and in turn we ex-
port eggs from the state during the
summer months in spite of our large
tourist trade. This means that we
buy high priced eggs and sell cheap
ones. condition which is not conduc-
tive to the best interests of the state.
The future of the poultry industry
in Colorado seems to lie in the expect
ed increase in population which should
allow 25 per cent increase of our
poultry and egg output by 1880, thru
more economical production which has
not been forced upon US due to the
comparative easy profits with poultry,
but it is being forced by an increasing
ly narrow margin of profit and thru
more careful marketing of what we do
produce.
Gunnison news-champion., 1924-09-12
According to o. C. Krum, Poultr,

According to o. C. Krum. Poultry
Specialist at the State Agri-
cultural College, farmers thruout the
state generally have been buying east
ern produced baby chicks and breeding
stock. Not only does this discourage
the breeding business in the state, but
such stuff as is being shipped in is
generally inferior in quality and often
carries disease. After trying the
source of procuring chickens several
times and knowing no other better
source, the farmer becomes discourag-
ed and eventually gives up his ambi-
tion to have purebred stock and re-
verts to the mongrel again.
