Meets Sister On Time In Fairbanks To Lecture In Chicago
 This Winter. '

II met kindness everywhere on my long trip overland from Canada tU Alaska, with the exception of here in Seward" Miss Laurie R. Frazeur, of Chicago, laughingly remarked to the Gateway reporter few dlys ago, following her arrival here from Fairbanks. "At the Alaska Steam ship Company office, here I was treated with downright cruelty for I was informed the company did not permit passengers going aboard the vessel until a few hours previous to sailing time, so I had to remain overnight in one of the local hotels" Fifteen years ago, Miss FraZeur wis tied Alaska as a tourist and since that time she has always looked forward to the day when she might return and travel thru Alaska as few have done This has been ac- complished. In all, Miss FraZeur es- timated about 5000 miles were cov- cred by rail, steamboats, airplanes, automobiles, canoe and by hiking. It will be seen just about every mode of transportation came in for its share excepting pernaps, a bi- cycle and submarine. She has been travelling since about the middle of June

Though the plane trip would appear costly, it was stated she really saved money and much time by completing this trip to Fairbanks via the air
 Meets Sister On Schedule.
 It had been planned months pre- viously in the East, for Miss Fra zeur to meet her sister in Fair banks on a certain day and much to the sisters surprise she did. The sister arrived in Seward on the steamer Alaska, two weeks ago. and journeyed to Fairbanks returning to the coast via the Richardson high way. Miss Frazeur wanted to come out over the Alaska Railroad so it was planned to meet one another at Cordova and proceed from that point back East.
 Indion In+a
 The Mounted Police in Yukon Ter ritory advised strongly of Miss Fra zeur making the long trip but finally, after great effort, she was able to persuade them to let her make the attempt. They informed her that it was practically suicidal, especially for woman, alone. The Indian life, as seen at the remote outland posts, was full of interest to her. Caribou hunting was on when she

belief that the college training Of
farmers sons and daughters was in
strumental in bringing about mod
ern farm homes.
"After the farm youth has had a
taste Of living in modern city
home during his college training it
is only natural that he would de-
sire the same thing when he re-
turned to the farm" Chancellor
Avery pointed out. 1T is a wise
farmer that provides these present
day conveniences and keeps his
sons and daughters on the farm. "
The rapid increase in modern con-
veniences on the farm does not in
dex an abounding prosperity on the
farm, said A. f. Anderson federal
agricultural statistician, but merely
reflects permanency and stability
on the part of the Nebraska farm
population. -
"Smce the farm home is closely
identified with farm business it is
necessary that factors which make
comfort and contentment have q
peculiar significance with the farm
enterprise" Andersod explained.

LINCOLN, Neb. Nov. 25.-The
Nebraska farmer is rapidly putting
his living conditions on par with
his city neighbor.
In addition to this, he is making
the farm home an alluring place for
his sons and daughters.
During the past five years the
$4,000 Nebraska farms have in
creased the number of farm home
modern heating plants rs per cent,
the number of modern lighting
plants 81 per cent. and the number
of farm homes with running water

The increase i'll these conveniences
of life during the past year has
been nearly 25 per cent, according
to the state department of agricul-
