THE FAR PASTURE

There is an old adage; THE
far pasture looks the greenest."
Most always the grass is just as
green in your own pasture as in
the other fellows, but that same
enchantment which distance
lends may tempt you away from
a perfectly good feeding ground
to one which proves to be full of
thistles.
The far-pasture temptation is
at the bottom of good deal of
job changing, Lots of fellows
want to leap to the top in one
jump. Ii can't be done.
The steps between the bottom
and the top must be trod. No
other way of bridging the gap
has as yet been found. II takes
sweat of experience mixed with
the cement of knowledge to build
the steps which lead upward to
the goal.
In other words. if anything
is wrong, it's not your job--it's
you.
Look for failure and you usu-
ally find what you're looking for.
Look and work for advancement
and you usually find what you're
looking and working for.
Search and expect success, and
it comes.

LIBERTY SAFEGUARDED BY
CONSTITUTION

During the hysteria produced
by bitter political campaign,
the people of Oregon two years
ago voted in favor of law pro-
hlblting parents from sending
their children to any but public
schools. Private schools were en-
tirely eliminated by the measure.
The United States Supreme
Court has annulled that law as
contrary to every principle of
constitutional liberty.
There are many reasons why
parents may not want to send
their children to public schools.
The decision does not affect the
power of the state TO enforce pro-
per schooling. The state may in
sist that the academic standards
of private schools I've the same as
those for public schools. II may
license teachers and supervise all
schools TO assure the maintenance
of standards. But il cannot in.
terfere with special instruction
of the normal or cultural nature.
This decision illustrates how
the United States constitution
and the United States Supreme
Court guarantee and protect the
rights of the American citizen.
Hasty legislative action or hys.
terical decisions at general cleo.
tons cannot override the ulti,
mate protection afforded every
citizen by these two great insti,
buttons of American liberty.

BUMPS

Bumps are what make life
worth while. Bumps are of vari-
Gus sizes. A certain class of
workmen in the west refer to the
Rocky Mountains and the Cas-
cades as Bumps"
Sometimes our troubles seem
like real mountains while they
are only bumps. However,
the greater the bump the more
credit we deserve for climbing
over it.
If everything moved along
without bumps, life wouldn't be
a game worth playing. The
bumps in life are what make it
the greatest game in the world.

detectives Of the American Red
Cross.
The public. however, may be
prone TO forget the invaluable aid
rendered by this organization,
which is an arm Of the govern
ment itself, in its less spectacular
but equally humanitarian service
in times of peace.
Every citizen of the country
should interest himself in the ac-
Invites of the American Red
Cross. The present organization
is a product of the international
Treaty of 1864 TO which forty
eight leading nations bound
themselves. Each of these has a
separate organization and the
several bodies are united in the
federated League of Red Cross.
President Coolidge is the head of
the American Chapter. the War
Department audits its accounts,
and its charter granted by Con-
gress clearly defines and makes
obligatory its duties.
Wartime activities of this or
ganization are familiar to all, but
doubtless many may overlook its
philanthropic service rendered in
normal periods. Today, through
its thirty-five hundred subordi-
nate chapters, personal assistance
is being rendered disabled SOL
diers and their families. Every
community faces this task. II
will require a long time and the
outlook is often discouraging, but
ii must be undertaken, and al
though the government is caring
for the veterans and their fami-
lies in the mass, the Red Cross
extends that personal sympathy.
that individual comfort which we
as a nation owe in fullest meas
ure to these men who have given
all they had to give for our safety
and happiness. For its goal, the
Red Cross aims at the complete
re-establishment of the indi-
vidual or family as a happy,
healthy, self-sustaining unit.
Disaster relief forms a major
part Of the peace-time work. Ten
of dollars was raised for
the relief of the earthquake suf-
ferers in Japan. Immediate sue
cor hurried from all parts of the
to the aid of the tornado
swept sections of the Mid West,
prevented many of the horrors
and sufferings that usually follow
such tragedies. During the ter
rible forest fires on San Gabriel
mountains in California last sum-
mer, the Red Cross rendered first
aid to the fire fighters camps
even in the most distant and diff
ficult places. In fact. a national
program of preparedness is main
tanned so that not an hour passes
between news of any great catas-
trophe and action for relief of
the attendant suffering.
A national program of Life
Saving and First-Aid is also car
ried on to the end that the ghast-
ly toll paid to speed mania, reck-
less carelessness and criminal
may be reduced.
Child health demonstrations are
conducted. and numerous minor.
but none the less worthy services
rendered the public.
Popular support is needed to |
maintain the Red Cross. Last |
year there were about three mil |

PELAGIC HALIBUT
 TAGGING DURING
 SUMMER BY I. F. (.
CANADlAN VESSEL, SEAMAID UN DER CHARTER DURING
 HALIBUT SEASON.
Will Determine Their Age
Many New Wrinkles Brot To Light Conservation Being Additional
 Factor of Commission.

The 65-foot, diesel propelled halibut schooner ''Seamaid," of Prince Ru pert, arrived in port on Sunday, Sept 20, with Captain H. Doirin at the were Leo Doirin. chief engineer and Dave Cencaw, pilot The Seamaid has been under charter during the entire summer by the International Fish Commission, headed by Professor w. F. Thompson who has been making an additional study into the habita- tions of the halibut by way of tag ging, similar to the methods used in tagging of salmon, which has been carried out by both the American and Canadian government. The biggest factor in connection with the tabula- tion of halibut being it's conservation. MT. Thompson, reputed to know many phases of the life of the deep sea mon ster was chosen by both governments to take entire charge in carrying summers work thru to completion, and make out proper reports for sci entific investigation the coming win ter. So far, halibut tagged by his as- sistants have borne no fruit, but it is stated that by the time this story sees light there will have been numerous halibut caught with tags attached. In gaining the whereabouts of the tag ged halibut not only gives them that point, but also helps them to deter mine their age.
 Studying Haibut Fishery.
 The halibut industry, states Captain Doirin, is not in a way perpetual, but is threatened with depletion as are the salmon at the present time, and which all stringent efforts to place strict regulations to add longevity to the North Pacific industry has increas- ed to such an extent as to make law enforcement the only remedy. The halibut must survive, and now is the
Seward daily gateway., 1925-09-23

bringing to the fore in determining the age of the halibut is very simple When a halibut is of tender age, the Orthelitz, a scientific name for the bones in the gill of the halibut, can be seen. While young, these bones are few and the age can be determin- ed, therefore when tagged, with the year print on them it can easily be analysed in a scientific way, and the correct age given in this manner This is the first time in the history of the North Pacific waters that this meth cd is being used. Halibut, hereto fore, have been given scant attention, but as was said in an earlier para graph that they are not immune to depletion, steps are now being made for it's perpetuation with less regu- latiOns than those now in force gov erning the catching of salmon.
 Reward for Tagged Halbut.
 Fish buyers, dealers or any other agent with whom the International Fish Commission has made arrange ments are authorized to pay S1 in cash on delivery to them of tag taken from halibut. The tag has it's reg ular number with the initials I.F.C. stamped on. Certificates are issued those authorized to accept tags, and they are redeemed by the Fish Com mission thru the regular channels set aside by them with those in making collection of same Any information, 1t is stated concerning the finding of tags will be gladly given by Charles & Hardcastle, of Ketchikan, who are con- nected with the Commission in an of ficial way and for the purpose to en- tighten those seeking information rel ative to tags found.

 Thompson Halbut Authority.
 Professors Thompson and F. H. Bell the latter from the Canadian govern ment, left Prince Rupert on May IA for Masset Island, of the Queen Char lotte group, where they worked dili gently with their assistants in tag ging. Quite number of halibut were tagged on this trip, the tags being attached to the gill covers. They are scooped onto the boat and all those showing signs of weakness were talk en aboard and iced down, and those of more frisky antics were tagged and showed overheard to again meet their fate at the hands of the prowl- ing fisherman, but not to have their life reprieved for the second time. From the Masset Island, where tag ging operations pursued for three weeks, the party returned to Prince Rupert where Prof Thompson disem- parked the Seamaid and gave instruc- tions to others to proceed with the work in like fashion, and mapped out the course they should follow during the remainder of the summer.
 From Prince Rupert, Prof. Thomp- son boarded the S.S. New England, then in the Canadian port, which con veyed him and Mr. Bell to the Cook Inlet district where they have been advancing, the past summer, the same work as in southern waters, that of ascertaining the life and habits of the fish in western waters. The en- tire investigation is made in connec- tion with the halibut treaty between the United States and Canada.
 Seamaid Is Busy Craft.
 The second trip of the Seamaid was made to Hagget Straits, where the operations were resumed in lake man. her as those carried on in the Queen Charlotte Sound region. The third trip was made out of Prince Rupert the latter part of June, the Seamaid heading for the westward halibut banks. They carried on tagging in Dixons Entrance and came as far north as Timbered Island, the latter place near Sumner Straits. Two trips were made to these waters which are reputed to be the richest halibut banks in the world, and where careful study was made, thereby consuming two trips of two-weeks' duration.

BELIEVES EUROPE
FACES NEW WAR
Sir George Paish Declares
Reparations Must Be Cut
to Avoid Trouble.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. January 10.-Sir
George Paish, eminent British finan-.
cial authority and publicist, told the
Transatlantic Society, in an address
yesterday, that unless Germany's rep
aration indemnity was reduced and
the French left the Rhineland another
European war was ineVita BILE.
Unless a solution, just and reason
able to all, is reached said Sir
George, France will stay in the
Rhineland territory until reparations
are paid, and it is physically impos-
sible for Germany to pay the original
amount. This means eventually that
Germany will try to drive the French
out, and a new war will be on.
Germany will not make the mis-
take she made the last time in having
Russia an enemy, but will have
that nation as a friend. Germany and
Russia will be BILE to overrun Europe
and establish military despotism.''
The Dawes report did not entirely
solve the reparatfons problem, but it
improved the situation, the speaker
said. He added that the United States
was looked upon by other countries
as the one nation which has a policy
of justice and that people in all parts
OF Europe looked to America to bring
about better spirit of international
friendship.
Sir George said he did not repre-
sent the British government on his
visit to this country, but that his
views represented large part of
British public opinion.
