Possibilities of Rye Growing.
Seward Gateway

Americans are accustomed to wheat bread,
and they are apt to consider grain raising IN
Alaska from the standpoint of wheat raising
But they overlook the big fact that in Europe
rye is the principal grain grown north OF latl-
tude So and from that far north as the latl-
tude of 6S Even the Northern States of the
United States produce 90 900, 600 bushels of rye
per year.
Rye is the one grain that is indigeous to
these northern ATTITUDES of Alaska. 1t is sure
crop every year, because it grows and natures
within 60 days after planting.
The Government Experiment Farms at Mata-
nuska have been for several years growing varie-
ties of rye that yield from 80 to 60 bushels
to the acre, with never failure or even
shortage.
While rye makes dark colored bread its
values of the hard wheat Rye bread forms the
staff of life for 1OO,0oo,o00 of Europe's northern
population
The Kenai Peninsula, the Susitna Valley anu
the Tanana Valley together contain fully g.

cultivation every year with an average yield oil

"THE REPUBLIC OF VERMONT"

At the celebration of the sesqui-eentennial
of the Battle of Bennington, August Is. there
was a wreath placed the monument of Seth
Warner which bore motto that read:
He left an empty purse, honored
and the Republic of Vermont
The motto set people to asking. who was
Seth Warner" and, What about the Republic
of Vermont"
Seth Warner was the leader of the Green
Mountain Boys" who under his leadership and
the stalwart aid of Ethan and Ira Allen, John
Stark, DR.. Jonas Fay, Thomas Chttenden, Moses
Robinson and others defeated an English in
vason, helped to win the Revolutionary War;
wthstood efforts of New Hampshire, New
York and Massachusetts, to take partition
their land among them.
Vermont had no representation in the Contn-
entail Congress She adopted her own Decara-
ton of Independence against Great Britain Janu-
airy Is, l777. adopted her own Constitution in
a convention that was in session from July to
July s. 1777, and maintained herself as an
independent State without recognition from Con-
gress until her admission the fourteenth State
in the Union, March 4, 1871. Therefore. for four
teen years she was Independent republic, with
a Governor and Legislature.
In 177s New Hampshire and New York en-
tered into an agreement to divide Vermont be-
tween them making the line along the summit
of the Green Mountains. This ignored the claims
of Massachusetts and the latter States moral
support was from that time given to the con-
tentions of the Green Mountain Boys for separate
identity. Vermont countering against New
Hampshire's persistent claims, admitted, in l77S,
sixteen New Hampshire townships lying east of
the Connecticut River. In 1882 Vermont and
New Hampshire adjusted their differences by
agreeing to the west bank of the Connecticut
River as the boundary line. This settlement gave
Vermont independence the moral support Of New
Hampshire New York did not relinqush her
claims until 1890. when it was understood be-
tween them that Vermont would ask for admis
sion to the Union as State.
These boundary disputes led to negotiations

tyes OF Great Britain for the recognition OF

SIMPLY AND sOUNDLY STATED.

Mayor Landes, in her much quoted Interview
at Juneau in which she said that she would be
a candidate for reelection. declared:
see no reason - women should
not hold executive positions II hey

into the question at all. 1t should
merely be matter of training and
ability. | do not think that women

any kind simply because they are
women.
Seattle's woman Mayor has stated the ques-
ton simply. staightforwardly and soundly Elk
eeutive positions and other offices should go to
the available persons that are best qualified to
fiji them and the question of sex should not be
considered at all. No should expect or be
given an office simply because she is woman.
Likewise no one should expect or be given an
office simply because he is man. That is the
only way there be equality of sex in the
matter. 1t is the only way to get the best

The South Wakes Up.
New York World. }


About month ago Mr. Julian Harris editor
of the Columbus, Ga, Enquirer-Sun, wrote in
the New York Times that the South had at last
become aroused foggings and that presently
we might expect to something done about
them. Since he published his article events have
proved that he right. In Georgia. the lead
ers in two notorious Jogging cases have been
convicted and sent to prison. In Alabama, par
Elephants in two other notorious foggings have
been convicted. and either sent to prison or
fined. In addition, there is various evidence
that enlightened opinion in the South means
business. In Alabama, Gov. Bibb Graves, al
though himself Klansmen, has condemned fog
gings. and it is perhaps due to his attitude that
recent prosecutions have been undertaken. In
Tennessee. the Masons have declared that they
will do all in thr power to enforce law and
order In Florida, Gov. John Martin has served
notice that foggings must cease, and in at least
one instance has notified County authorities that
any more laxity their part will be the signal
for martial law.
The South, obviously, is waking up to the
necessity of re-establishng its repute little
more of the resolution which its officials have
shown recently and it can stamp out fogging al
together For it is no secret that the South has
been cursed with ku-kluckery in recent years
largely because its officials have not had the
courage to make determined fight against 1t.

Buried Beaches at Nome.
