AIM OF WAS WAS BAD 50 II Is WAS IS,

S E A.B EAST FROM PACIFIC COAST ARRIVES IN ALAS
 KAN WATERS, REPORT

The aim of Olaf Swenson, halibut fisherman on the good ship Polar Maid, in port few days ago, was either awfully good or extremely bad, for when he took a shot at an alleged gigantic sea-beast which rose out of the ocean off the fishing banks, he either killed the mysterious crea- ture of the deep or frightened it from the blast of the guns discharge.
 Since coming to Seward, however, Olaf is under the impression that the huge sea-beast, reported off the coast of Washington some days ago, has arrived in Alaskan waters for he vow ed and declared he saw the animal. He was the only one of the crew which did, as far as can be learned locally. Olaf stated the beast was the size of an elephant and had blinking eyes that worked like trap doors. At that Olaf might have caught a glimpse of a freak whale; for in- stance an extraordinary large whale with reptilian neck, the head of a rhinocerous, and with a mouth the size of bay window.

The Ellsworth firemen have had
another busy week since last Wed
nesday. Wednesday afternoon the
home of W. A. Richie at Hancock
was burned fiat, with loss or
about $4,000, partially covered by
insurance The department reached
the place in time to save other
buildings nearby Thursday was the
busiest day. There was a grass fire
at Partridge Cove, from which a
barn on the Phillips place, owned by
| w. A. Dorr, was burned. There
were two forest fires, one at
Graham lake, another on the Gar
land farm at Waltham, and, fire
on the Buttermilk road at the home
of Wesley Dorr. This fire started in
| the ell, but prompt work by the
fremen kept it from reaching the
| main house Lewis Smith, an r. F.
D. driver, met with painful &C
cident while assisting the firemen at

house fell and struck Mr.. Smith on

was unconscious for some time.
M. l.. Herr lectured at the cham
her of commerce rooms in Hancock
hall last evening, under the aus
pices of the International Bible Stu
dents Association. Mr.. Herr spoke
| of several different interpretations
put upon passages in the bible. Of
the conception of hell as fiery fur
mace, he said "The translators OF
! the revised version, like the edu-
Gated clergy of our day, knew that
the words 'sheoP and 'hades' did not
| mean hot place, where some I'M
| fortunate humans would have to
roast to all eternity; and so they
transferred these two Hebrew and
| Greek words into our English bible
without telling us what either
| meant. Of course there may pc
some good men, ignorant OF the
meaning of these words, who really
believe that hell is a place of SUI
| fering. But the educated clergy
know better, and yet they permit
their CONGREGATIONS to think that
they believe in a hell of torture,
while privately they confess to the
contrary. Such ministers are fool
ing the people, and are driving men
away from God, from the bible, and
from the churches"

THE FARMER AND HIS CUSTOM
,.x. s...r,.s a.. Frs


Wa do not understand that the
raising Of wheat, as usually con-
Quoted in this country, enriches the
land but rather depletes its fertil-
,tv There seems to be no good rea-
son from that standpoint for stimu-
lating the wheat growers to increase
that acreage, yet that Is what the
Haugen bill must do II it does any
thing. Mr.. Mellon points out that
increasing surplus by subsidy to
be paid by the consumer. II 1t
produces the expected results, must
amount to selling our bigger sur
plus abroad at lower prices TO the
foreign consumers.
Now there are many reasons why
the farmers of this country, II not
the wheat growers and fiour-mlll IN
+srests. are concerned for the wei
fare of the consumer, concerned that
hs shall not be reduced in purchas-
ing power through closer compeu-
tion with the foreign industrial pro-
Queer. The demands OF consumers
for food in this country are rapidly
increasing; the number of farms or
of farmers is decreasing, though OIL
course there is some increase IN
facilities for cultivation of the SOIL
nv the assistance of machinery.
A recent estimate of the increase
O, our population in the past nVe
wears was 1o,229,OoO. During those
wears the farm population decreased
by $4,000; the number of FARMS &C
cording to the World Almanac de-
creased by 10000. Evidently the
farmers remaining on the land have
many more mouths for which TO
produce food. The increase IN pur-
chasing poWer of this country in f1ve
years appears to have been an
nually around five and a half BILL
lion dollars. Those who produce the
food with lessened competition and
increasing demand should hesitate
TO 90 about upsetting applicants.

NEEDED, A BALANCED RATION
AND HUNGER

The proclaimers of crime cure-alls
initiate the announcers of physical
cure -alls, who would have the ailinG
suppose a certain food to be just
what was needed. 1t may be bonny-
clabber or 1t may be spinach.
Here is one announcing that con-
troll of marriage will solve crime
problems, Notwithstanding traditions
about minister's sons and deacon's
daughters. Another tells us the
schools are at fault, another. par
entail discipline, another, disregard
of law by elders, another idleness
and SO on.
Shouldn't someone rise up and in
.ist on the balanced ration for the
normally moral and the normally
healthy?
A horse Is worth less except
for hide and horse-meat unless
broken to the halter of usefulness.
II broken harshly its usefulness is
impaired. 1t requires for best re-
suits a balanced ration of discipline
and education. There is enough of
animal in the human being to re-
quire some such training. Further
more, whether We appreciate the
fact or not, we all within certain
limits participate in the training Of
our fellow humans.
And having prescribed the balanc-
ed ration, how make 1t appetizing, for
that has to do with assimilation
How train the appetite for the
wholesome, how stimulate healthfui
hunger? Understanding. clarified by
sympathy and enforced by firmness
that commands respect, would seem
TO be essential. These are as de-
pendent on eternal striving as liber-
ty Is on eternal vigilance. There is
no instantaneous cure-all for our
ailments. moral or physical, that we
may give or receive and think no
more about.
