TIP to the Married

~ ONALD B. MMILLAN, now in polar regions
says the biggest difficulty in the way of such an
- expedition is not cold loss of food, lack of
modern conveniences.
1t is solitude
The men get talked out. They learn all the little
details in each others life history and there is nothing
new to tell The men bore each other and the solitude
preys upon them.
So Macmillan has forbidden the men to talk except
at certain times and has told them to keep apart for
periods during the day.
Here is a good hint for the married.
When two people get talked OUT they bore each
other When intimate family history is repeated over
and over again it becomes unbearable.
The more progressive interests man and his wife
have the less danger there is of their becoming talked
out" The more active interests they have in common
the more they have to talk about and the longer they
are likely to enjoy each others company.

DO you keep q bullf What breed

papers?" A lot of our readers have
been asked these questions by one
of their neighbors in the last few
days. Probably the neighbor ex-
planned that he was getting the in
formation as a part of the better
Dull campaign which Is now being
conducted by the Extension Service.
the Farm Bureau and other farm
organizations.
The Kennebec County Farm Bu-
reau Is squarely behind the move
ment and has already taken several
steps to forward the campaign. The
hrst step was taken when the coun-
ty dairy leader, H. R. Hysom, of
China, attended q meeting of dairy
leaders from all parts of the State
at Orono and assisted in making the
decision which committed the Maine
Farm Bureau Federation to the
movement.
The next step was taken when the
Executive Committee of the Ken
nebec County Farm Bureau unani-
mously voted to endorse the cam
paign, and the third step was taken
at the important conference Of COM
mun1ty dairy leaders which was held
In Augusta late in August.
Mr.. Hysom presided at this con-
ference and reported the action
taken by the county dairy leaders at
Orono, and the reasons why they
felt that the use of better sires would

industry In Maine, and put more
money in the pockets of cattle own
ers than any other one thing which
might be done.
R. F. Talbot, Extension Dairy
specialist. outlined the reasons why
dairy leaders believe that the pres
emit time is the right time for start
ln3 a movement of this sort. Briefly
they are these: purebred stock has
never been so low in comparison
with ordinary stock as it is now, but
prices show tendency to rise, con-
sequently now is the time to buy;
the average production of Maine
cows is less than $500 pounds year,
which makes the cost of production
per quart too great. Less cows, and
more good cows, will cut costs on
the farm.
There Is an increasing demand
from buyers in Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, for good
Maine cows; IL Maine can meet the
demand a profitable business can be

falfa successfully. some Of whom
have secured conspicuous results. D.
A. Wilkins, of Windsor. has an al
falfa field, seeded in 1914, from
which he has cut twenty-four con-
secutive crops. The plot IL still do
ing well and gave one of its largest
yields this year. Mr.. Wilkins also
has two acres Of alfalfa seeded in
1924 from which he has cut two
good crops.
Another noteworthy demonstra-
ton plot is that of M. F. Willard,
Of Monmouth. This plot was seeded
in 1921 as demonstration. Beside
it Mr.. Willard also made a Demon
stration to prove the value of lime
on grass land. The plot nearest the
alfalfa was treated exactly as he did
the alfalfa except that it was seeded
with a mixture of red clover, alsike,
timothy and red top. The third plot
was treated exactly as the second
was. except that no lime was used.
This season the yields of the first
crops were two and three-quarters
tons of alfalfa, one and one-third

tons Of hay on the lined plot and
one ton Of hay on the plot which
was not lined. The second crop Of
alfalfa yielded nearly one and a half
tons per acre: there was no second
crop on the other two plots. and the
clover is entirely gone. Mr.. Willard
plans to seed more land to alfalfa
in the future.
Still another alfalfa field which
has made an exceptionally good
showing is that Of Robert H. Reed
Of China. Mr.. Reed seeded two
acres this spring from which he has
cut nearly two tons per acre this
year.
Among others who started alfalfa
demonstrations last spring under the
guidance of the county agent are,

states: the use of better sires offers
the easiest, cheapest, and most prac-
teal means for improving the herd,
whether it be dairy or beef.
The Conference decided that the
next step was to find out who keep
bulls and what kind of bulls they
keep as a necessary step toward as
sisting farmers to own better bulls.
This plan for making the survey was
adopted. Each leader present agreed
to call together two or three of his
neighbors, explain to them the rea-
sons for making the survey, and get
them to find out who keep bulls in
their neighborhood. Cards are be.
ing furnished by the Extension Serv-
ice for this purpose.
As soon as the survey Is complete
steps will be taken to locate sup
ply Of good bulls and to assist men
who, wish to buy to find what they
need.

agement of Rev. Dunlap, since con- struction began, or since the plates for the upper structure were laid in July, is astonishing May 21 was the day set for the citizens of Seward to re- spond to the call for volunteers to as- sist in clearing land at the site, which was then covered with trees and stumps. Men from all vacations, lent their brawn for day, and lest it be forgotten, the women of the com munity responded with equal fervor. Before the day had ended the citizens had moved down and cleared away sufficient acreage for the site.
 Buildings are Beauties
 Built of wood, brick and concrete, one of the dormitories today is hay ing the exterior finishing touches ad- ministered by the stucco crew, and the tarring of the roof of the girls dormi- tory is we'll under way. There are approximately 42,000 feet of floor space in the two buildings. Rearing up three stories in height, the build ings command an exquisite view of Seward and Resurrection Bay. Seen from the harbor one building, which is now adorned with glistening white stucco and brilliant red roof, is a sight which will arrest the attention of the thousands of future visitors to Sew ard. As time progresses, driveways will be laid out on the spacious ground surrounding the home, bordered with flowers of beautiful hues. Fields will eventually be under cultivation, the whole being enclosed with a neat fence. With the additional buildings being planned, can one believe the scene will be eXcelled at any point in the Territory. In the minds eye, the nearest approach would be the Alaska College at Fairbanks, with it's broad sweeping lawns and curving driveways. As a comparison, how ever, the Jesse Lee Home in Seward stands out like gem for it is sur- rounded on every hand, by distant and towering greenswarthed, snowcapped mountains, the distant music of a large waterfall cascading nearby, with a marine view, Resurrection Bay, unex- celled anyplace on the globe.

 CONSTRUCTION
 JESSE LEE HOME
MODERN BUILDINGS ARE MODELS HANDSOME IN DESIGN AS WELL AS PRACTICAL IN CONSTRUC- TON.
One Completed Next Month
CHILDREN EXPECTED TO ARRIVE
 FROM UNALASkA AND NOME SOMETIME LATE IN SEPTEM- BIER.

Speaking in round figures few local residents realize just what the acqui- sition of the Jesse Lee Home means to Seward in dollars and cents. It has been stated by government official who recently passed through this city that the removal of the orphanage annual loss of at least ten thousand dollars to the community. When it is learned two such missions for or phans, at Unalaska and Nome, are to be moved to the local home now un- der construction, Stewards gain can readily be computed. About 120 children will be moved to Seward from the Westward and Boring Sea dis trict, probably about the middle of next month, and this is said to be just beginning, for plans are already un- der way for more buildings and larg- CT quarters.
 Will Arrive Next Month
 According to the original plans the children were to have been moved to their new home in Seward this month but owing to the lateness in getting the construction under way, this will be impossible. Reverend R. V. B. Dunlap stated yesterday the comman- der of the cutter Haida wanted to transport the orphans to this point this month, but the Rev. Dunlap wir- ed back word that the buildings were not sufficiently completed to house them. Arrangements have been since made for the steamer Boxer, the Bu- reau of Education vessel, to bring the children to Seward next month, at which time, from present indications, at least one of the large dormitories, will be completed.
 Assistant Coming From Wisconsin
 Mir. and Mrs. Trumbell are expected to arrive on the next Alaska, from Wisconsin, it was learned yesterday. MT. Trumbell will be in charge of the boys dormitory and will wear the ti- tie of assistant to Rep. Dunlap. Liv- ing quarters for MT. and Mrs. Trum- bell will be located in this building as will other members of the faculty, of which there will be at least ten. Rev. and Mrs DunIan will have their Offica and apartment in the main building, or girls dormitory.

BEFORE SEPTEMBER PASSES IN 4 BLAZE OF AUTUMN LEAVES, THE DITCH WILL BE CARRY ING WATER

The work on the Twelvemile ditch, says the Fairbanks News-Miner, to carry water from the upper Cnatani- ka to and through the mines to Cleary, with Chatanika the scene of the largest workings, swill be com pleted by the Stines company within a month, and the water which will wash the gold from the gravels at the mines will be running through the ditches.
 Despite the usual and natural de- lays that work in this country is subjects to, no estimate as to time or cost that MT. Stines has made to date has failed to be finished with in the time limit and asserted cost. Probably that is because he starts early and works late and estimates we'll in advance, which saves him a lot of explaining. He has had on his payroll as hiigh as 400 men this season, and has paid out in monthly wages as high as S70,000. The work men are fewer now but the work they have done lives after them. The ditch will be carrying water this fall and from then On, although the water it carries may not be used for mining for a year or two. The ditch has to work" for some time before it will insure the water that will allow the dredge to work, so much seepage and loss is there in dirt ditch until it becomes as near wat erproof as it can be made.

Standard Gauge Railroad for Moose Creek Fields
 Next Year Is Reported

Arrivals in Seward say that the mar row gauge railway being constructed from the old Baxter-Beden coal mn ing property on Moose creek, up to the Howard-Jesson claims, will be completed by the middle of next Oct According to present indications it appears that next year the railroad contemplates standardizing the road, it is stated, for standard roadbed and ties are being laid out. It has always been conceded by those who have some knowledge of coal mining operations, that this spur line should hape been a standard one, right from the start.

155 OREGON FARMERS
ASK WHEAT LOANS

Salem, Or.-The state board of con-
troll held special meeting here Sat
urday and considered approximately
155 applications for loans under the
so-called farm relief bill enacted at
the recent session of the legislature.
This bill authorized an appropria-
ton of S1,500,000 with which to pur-
chase seed wheat for the grain grow
ers Of eastern Oregon, whose crops
were destroyed as result of the re-
cent cold weather.
One hundred and two of the re-
quests for loans received by the board
aggregated SS3,40252, or an average
of SS1S.
Although represented at the time
the appropriation was made that prac-
tically all of the wheat east of the
Cascade mountains had been destroy
ed, more recent reports indicate that
the loss has not been as extensive as
pictured to the legislature.
1t also has been reported to the
board that large number of the
farmers who suffered partial losses
of their wheat crop are financially
able to reseed their lands and will
not apply to the state for assistance

Extension Work Has
Had Splendid Results

Improvement in the appearance of
the grounds and surroundings of farms
and homes in the Southern states is
receiving increased attention as a re-
suit of extension work in those states
by a horticultural specialist of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, according to reports received by
the department. For example, as
result of such work 6,925 fences were
repaired in 1921 and 4,436 in 1922;
3,4S4 unsightly buildings were re
paired or removed in 1921 and 1898
in 1922. The number planting trees
and shrubs rose from S,30S to 26,313;
of those planting flowers and vines,
from 1886 two years ago to 4S,43T
in 1922; of lawns seeded, from about
1,606O to $780, More than $4,000
planted shade trees and shrubs last
year.
In some of the states, particularly
in North Carolina and Mississippi, the
improvements are very marked. Girls
and women's clubs have been active
in stimulating interest in making the
home surroundings more pleasing, and
the beneficial effect upon communities
generally has been very marked.

Fertilizers

The use of fertilizers is an absolute
necessity il one would keep his lawn
and shrubbery in a healthful condl-
ton. The vegetation requires GER
tain amount of plant food which must
be supplied to the ground and the
only manner in which this can be done
is through the application of fertillz-
ing material. Commercial fertilizers
which are complete and carry all the
elements necessary are most excellent
means of carrying out this condition
but il is necessary that one exercise
considerable caution in the appllca-
ton or they are liable to lnjure the
lawn ard shrubs through burning
caused by too much fertilizer 1t is
better to use too little than too much.
Immediately after using this type Of
fertilizer the ground should be thor
oughly wet in order TO wash the mate
rial from the plants and into the
ground.

Ebert started life as a saddlemalter,
but years of experience as a labor or.

with his wide training in practical
politics developed him.
His lack of early opportunities was
compensated for by the training he
won in the world of affairs, He was

improves the outward appearance of
the home but also adds much to its

There is another thing to consider
when you are thinking of paint as an

Without the proper amount of paint

moisture will cause tiny assures, which

Tremors Lasting From One TO
Five Seconds Are Felt Over
Wide Territory.

New York-An earthquake, varying
In general sway to tremor of such
intensity as to shake pictures from
walls, Saturday night shook an area
of approximately 100000 square miles,
inhabited by more than S5,000,0Oo
people, nearly one-third of the popu-
lation OF the United States. The trem-
ors lasted from one to five seconds.
The territory covered by the quake
extended from Michigan to the At
lantic ocean, and from New England
to the District of Columbia, West Vir-
ginia, Lower Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The quake was felt between 9:15
and $3.50. Thousands in widely scat
tered communities rushed from
theatres and other places of amuse-
ment, or from their homes into the
streets. The giant skyscrappers of
New York swayed with the motion of
the earth. Manhattan island, upon
which these skyscrapers are built, is
solid rock. Excavation is such diff
cult affair that basement for an
apartment house involves blasting,
But Manhattan island trembled before

towns were swamped with telephone
