SIX MONTHS TO LlVE!

Six months to live. Simon de Grex, M. F., doomed to die at the end of six months, looked upon life huge joke-hence his title "Simon the Jes- ter" For it is in Simon the Jester'' that Simon, who is given but few weeks to live, seeks out, not the fa- shionable resorts, the colorful and restful fastness of the mountains, but in solitude he starts to enjoy his last days upon earth.
 Then through a chain of startling circumstances his mode of living is changed. Lillian Rich, Eugene O'Brien, Henry Walthall, Edmund Burns and William H. Platt are well cast in this excellent production which comes to the Liberty theatre tonight.

The road link from Mile IS, the end of the Seward Kenai lake highway to Mile 29, Moose Pass, will not only help considerably in the development of the Hope-Sunrise district, but also station agent at Rainbow, according to Ed. Belmont, well known mining man who recently passed thru Seward en route to Arizona. Supplies are dumped off the trains at that point and frequently remain there for days or until the mine owner or rancher comes along and picks it up. Noth- ing is piHaged, he said, but for the convenience of that district he be-

PRIMARY PUTS PERSONALITY
ABOVE PRINCIPLE


Reason for the increasing eXpend-
itures in primaries is given by the
National Republic in that party pol
itics is no longer a matter of prin-
ciple but of personal ambition. In
commenting on this change the edi-
tor says:
Largely by reason of the direct
primary party politics is shifting
from a question of educating public
opinion in behalf of given principles
and policies to one of promoting
personal ambitions and procuring
place and power for individuals, or
ganizations and blocs. An inevitable
accompaniment of this new form OF
politics is the excessive use either
of money or official power to con-
troll primaries and elections. The
use of offices to promote candidates
or the power of political organiza-
tions is indirectly the use of public
money for that purpose, and for
that reason is no more scandaIous
than vast expenditures of money
made necessary in many instances
to equalize conditions as between
those who have patronage and news
papers behind them and those VINO
have not. Rigid limitation Of expeM-
ditures in behalf of candidates is
proposed as a means of reforming
the evils accentuated by the direcE
primary. Such limitations would
work unequally in many cases. AS
sumo the case of a candidate roT

can overcome the handicap of the
patronage controlled by the oppo-
sition only through the employment
of workers. He can overcome the
handicap of a hostile press only
through the purchase of advertising
space, or flooding the mails with
printed matter. If there is to be
rigid limitation of campaign expen-
ditures, even though legitimateiy
expended, then there would have to
be in all fairness, complete prohi-
bition of the activity of municipal,
state and federal employees in poll
tics, and laws requiring newspapers
to give to every opposing candidate
as much space in their columns as
they give without charge to the
candidates they favor.

tenn of making campaigns conflicts

giles between individuals for place

been termed ridiculous. They draped
the women in pillows of dress goods,
which had to trail in the dirt and
filth of the streets. or be carried by
the women in tightly grasped holds
of twisted garments, lifted half way
to their knees, to even maintain a
slight degree of cleanliness. Of the
two fashions, the short skirts of to-
day, or the ruffles of tomorrow If
they come, are far more beautiful
and sanitary. Let the ladies have
their way. What's the use of criti-
cising, anyway? About all normal

bathing beaches, or on the stage. A

indeed-may make half-hearted OBJ
lection to the women's short skirts;
but only the old and withered, or

hood to object to even ruffles for the

Robert D. Kemp, president of the
Artisans Savings Bank OF Winning
ton, Delaware, has been appointed
Delaware Chairman of the Saye-to-
Travel Association, an organization
Of banks, railroad companies and
steamship lines, to promote system
attic savings.
Mr.. Kemps appointment to this
position by Francis H. Sisson, Vice
President of the Guaranty Trust
Company and National Chairman OF
the aVe-to-Travel Association is re-
ceived with approval by banking in
stitutions throughout the country
who see in this rapidly growing
movement great possibilities in
which banks may serve their COM
munities, resulting in good not only
to themselves, but to every depositor
in this new field of saving.
In commenting on the movement
Mr.. Kemp said: There is no longer
any question as to the benefits Of
travel, nor is there reason any long
er why almost anyone cannot avail
himself of these benefits. America is
rapidly becoming a nation of thrift.
Almost every boy and girl today has
A savings account. Banking and
other business institutions are well
coming the opportunity through
their various Save-tO-Travel plans OF
directing the young people in the in
vestment of their savings, realizing
that saving from travel is an invest
ment worth while from dollars and
cents and from a business and pro-
fessional point of view, and from
the standpoint of real joy and salts
faction in life worth more than mon
ey can buy.
Through the Save-to-Travel plan
anyone may start the Vacation
Travel account at any time, which is
one of it's many advantages, and he
may save any sum he wishes for
one year weekly. The plan is for eV-
ervone. The man or woman who can
deposit 81 a week and the one who
can deposit $40 or more. The plan
makes it possible for those in mod
crate circumstances to have the
same benefits of vacations and tray
ell as the well-to-do."

Washington, August 25-There is
one Office gate in Washington which

leads to the private Office Of the Di-
rector of the Budget. He is a lnan
whose job requires him to say no"
to friend and foe alike, for upon him
rests the burden of economy and
governmental expenditures. The av-
erage citizen does not realize the
tremendous burdens imposed upon
this Individual, who is, in reality, an
assistant to the President of the
United States. Though the highest
government officials solicit his aid
General Lord, the present Chief OF
the Budget, is seldom seen outside
his Office. He is too busy with the
finances of the biggest business in
the world, the Federal Government.
The budget question will provide
an interesting subject for debate in
Congress. The President PERSONAL
ly approved the cut in tentative esti-
mate by the Budget Bureau to the ex-
tent Of $99,OOO,OOO. This was a di-
rect slap at many bureau chiefs who
had persuaded the Director Of the
Budget as to the justice Of their
claims. Practically every Federal
agency, with the exception of the
Prohibition and the Veterans Bur-
eau, sustained cuts on their esti-
mates for the next fiscal year. De-
spite this tremendous reduction in
proposed expenditures it is stated

A FOOD SHORTAGES?

A note of cheer for the farmers
was struck in the convention of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science at Oxford, England,
when Sir Daniel Hall predicted a
worldwide food shortage, unless
something is done to increase the
production by science. Sir Daniel
based his figures on present produc-
ton and the present rate Of increase
in population.
1t would be difficult, of course, at
this time to convince the American
farmer that a food shortage is i'm
minent. For the past few years life
for him has seemed to be just one
surplus after another. And yet we
know that the margin between a
surplus and shortage is compare
lively small. The failure of Cana
dian wheat in 1920 came as a bless
ing to the American wheat farmer
and brought him a season Of pros
perity. 1t was not so very long ago
that corn was considerably more
than dollar a bushel.
Hogs were then comparatively
cheap and so thousands of farmers
abandoned the hog industry and
went in for corn. For the past year
the situation has been reversed. Now
hogs are high and corn is cheap.
The production Of hogs will doubt
less increase greatly during the next
year or two, and then a partial fail
ure of the corn crop is likely to re-
verse the situation again.
The thing which will encourage
the thoughtful farmer is that gen
eral agricultural conditions are
gradually growing better. Follow
ing the greatly increased produc-
ton during the war came the slump
which hit industry first and then
agriculture. Industry, being the first
hit was the first to recover. Farming
is only now convalescent but it is
recovering steadily none the less.
It is not likely that Sir Daniel
Halls prediction of food shortage
of serious proportions will come true
in this generation at least. But it is
safe to say that the farmer is going
