NORTHWARD H0!.
M|LADY MUST
HAVE GOLD
Days Of '49 Re-enacted as
Fashion DEGREES Heavy
Gold Jewels.

A reason has been found for the
present gold rush to Alaska.
Spring styles dictate golden iewelry
for women, in quantities sufficient to
send frantic jewelry manufacturers
and equally as frantic husbands to the
frozen wastes to seek more gold.
ANCIENT STYLES.
From ancient Babylon have come the
heavy, golden bracelets and necklaces
that are the vogue this season. Baby
lonian jewellers invented these styles
long before gold had ceased to be a
pleasure, to become a duty.
Men were too busy winning (and
losing) wars in those days to bother
about gold. Many modern men will
perhaps wish times had not changed.
NORTHWARD HO!
Broad, heavy jeweled bracelets-the
kind that Cleopatra used to wear-arc
worn with necklaces made of twisted
chains, from which pendants of bright
Semi-precious stones are wont to dan
gle. Broad golden collars are also
good, and heavy gold rings.
No wonder shivering men-half lei
cle-are mooching toward the winter
weather of the North Pole!

PATRIOTIC INSANITY

The most interesting foreign news nowadays is
made IN Italy, and Just the big feature the
wave OF Italian Imperialism started by Musso!in 1t
Ian feeling against Germany.
A Fascist newspaper organ refers to Germany
our instructive racial enemy and demands eternal
control OF the South 1yro of Brenner Pass which
leads to central Germany
A patriotic movement started by artist named
Marlnetti sets forth these principles:
|. l he divinity OF Italy.
:. The Italian of today is unconquerable as the
ancient Romans, who conquered all the of the
earth
3. Brenner Pass is not the goaL but the starting
point.
A. The most unworthy Italian is worth thou
sand foreigners.
.. Italian products the best in the world.
=. Italian scenery is the most beautiful in the
world.
L. Italy has all rights since she maintains an alb
solute monopoly OF creative genius.
8. Every foreigner must enter Italy under re-
ligious spell.
Good 100 per cent Italiansm. But dangerous.
Dangerous 1rst to tays neighbOrs, and then Italy
herself 1T Is reminiscent of the 100 per cent Tueton-
ISM preached by the Kaiser and his crowd before the
World war The Germans to believe it and look
at Germany now.
he best service that any country can do for itself
is to take the soIters of such patriotic nonsense and
smut them up III insane asylums.

REGARDS PROPER
LAND CULTURE AS
MOST VITAL NEED

Need for bringing additional lands
under cultivation. in the United
States, is less than the necessity for
properly cultivating the lands we
now have, i'll the opinion of Eugene
H. Grubb, consulting agricuturist
for leading railroads over a period
of 20 years, who addressed Il meet
ing at the Barbara Worth hotel last
night, of farmers and those inter
ested in farm lands.
Since the beginning of the coun-
try wasteful methods have been
practiccd in tilling the soil and in
stead Of Building them up, farm
lands have been worn out 50 rapidly
that today we have a quarter bill
hon acres of abandoned land in this
country, Grubb declared.
We are falling far short of pro
duction as can be seen from the fact
that We are getting only 80 bushels
OF potatoes from the acre when we
should be getting 400 bushels,
Grubb stated, and we can well learn
a lesson from continental Europe
where the farmers have learned to
TIL the soil properly and conserve it
50 that they have been steadily in
creasing the yield per acle.
Cuts Production Cost
When land is properly cultivated
SO that the maximum yield is obtain
ed, the cost Of production is lower.
conversely, the more lands that we
use Tor the production of Il given
number of units, the greater the
cost of production per unit, he point
ed out.
More actual field experience is
necessary to make the present labor
atory and class room education in
agricultural colleges adequate to
meet the needs OF who will do the
farming of our country in the flu
ture.
Farms, Grubb asserted, are under
capltallzed and farmers are work.
ing on too narrow financial mar
GIN. Cooperation is necessary and
though a splendid start has been
made III TINS direction, American
farmers have much to learn in this
connection.
Locallzation of manufactur,nr
plants handling farm products, need
OF tax reduction, excessive cost of
distribution, and better educationo,
facilities for those who till the soil
are some of the things that must be
taken INTO consideration if Ameri.
can FARMERS are to survive the crisis
Whleh they are now facing, a crisis

prosperity of the farmer, but of
every industry in the countrv

more and more hungry until at last
he did not know what to do. He

he might smell. buried under the

ter horse chestnuts, which squirrels
will eat when they can get the
small, sweet chestnuts or bcechnuts

All Of a sudden Billie stopped near

ever and chattered.

to the ground beneath the log. And

some buried nuts. all of q sudden,

SENATORIAL ORATORI

Everybody agrees in Washington elsewhere,
that the United States is going to join the World
Court with moderate reservations safeguarding Amer
lean principles and reassuring its honest critics. The
public mandate is Clear. The Senate yields. There
are said to be not more than dozen irreconcilables
left F#
Yet the Senate plans to go right with it's de-
bate just the same. Nobody ventures to predict that
there will be vote the subject before the end of
February. Many say the debate will last for three or
four months
Every senator has at least speech ready to de-
liver and intends to deliver it, Nearly every speech
is exhaustive and eXhaustng. So the days and
weeks roll the senator's will continue dronng their
intermnable oratory to an empty chamber.
They do not listen to each others speeches. They
can't stand it themselves, any better than the public
The only continuous audience is the presiding
officer and he calls substitute to the chair often
he dareS.
There will be high spots in the debate
when particularly able influential senator's are
speaking. But most of the discussion will be dreary
dead level of unnspired and oraory, serving
no purpose more important than cuttering up the
Congressional Record.
What impes the senators such absurd and
amless relay race? To outsider it looks like
bnation of personal vanity and oratorca neffic-
ency. Surely any intel lgent man, with fair COM
mand OF the English language, could present his views
more effectively in 80 minutes than in three days
