THE DIFFERENCE

-Four years ago, the people of Alaska elected John w. Frame Re- publican National Committeeman by 25O votes. Under the rules of the Republican Party, the delegates frC m Alaska to the convention must cast their formal vote to seal the choice of the people. The men elect ed to perform this duty were George Arthur Shoup, then United States District Attorney, and George Sex ten, of Seward. When the time came, these men voted for George Sexton. This act was the result of Scott C.. Bone, John w. Troy, Jack Mcbride, H. T. Tripp, Thos. M Reed, federal judge, l.. V. Ray, attorney. at Seward and a number of others.
 Tn the election of April 1928, the le,ple of Alaska elected Capt. La thrcp national committeeman by 225 votes. According to precedent, as explained by Governor Bone, tht, delegates, Judge Wickersham and Dr. w. H. Chase, had the right to name any man whom they prefer red since neither man had supported L.athrop.
 But their act shows the difference between upright citizens and the oth- CTS above named. They made ar Iangements at Kansas City so that whoever was snown to have received the highest votes for national com

Study oops On
Western Coast

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. 25.-
Chris L. Christensen, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
has made a six weeks investigation
of the cooperative organizations on
the Pacific coast and finds:
1.-The California co-operatives han
ding dried fruits have met with less
complete success during the past year
because of the problems over which
they do not have complete control. In
the prune industry, for instance,
there has been a progressive increase
in production in recent years, stimu-
lated by high prices five or six years
ago.
~The increase in prune tonnage
again this year brought consequent
market disturbances. In raisins the
tonnage is not greater than that of
1928, but the increase Of competitive
conditions has developed noticeable
marketing weaknesses.
"The investigation Of Pacific coast
ro-operative associations showed
abandonment Of arbitrary price fixing
by such bodies in favor Of efficient
business practices which are yielding
profitable results.
"Co-operatives managers, directors
and leading growers, instead Of ad-
miring the beauties Of cooperation"
eaid Mr.. Christensen, care thinking
Of its problems-financing, manage
nent, selling, better grading and
standardization-and getting a quail
;tv product to market. Cooperative
and directors are thinking
az the Ways in which cooperative
business can be made more efficient
and are giving mention to. a better
balanced program

CITY STATION
Could Hear KWWG
On Mars He Says;
Honduras Writes

The radio program Of the San Be-
nito Chamber of Commerce, broad
cast over KWWG here Jan. IL, has
been fruitful of results in many
ways, according to Curtis Strong, in
charge Of the Valley station.
In introducing his talent, ]. Z. Bell,
secretary of the San Benito body,
promised a copy of the Valley song,
"Our Valley Home" to every one an
nouncing reception of the program,
and a special gift of a five dollar
gold piece for the person farthesi
away hearing the numbers.
An almost untold number Of letters
have been received on the matter and
it looks as though a special edition
of the song hit will have to be run
off the press.
The distance palm-to say nothing
to the S5-will probably have to be
divided between C. A. Blackington,
of Wrangell, Alaska. and c. c. Lee, Of
Puerto Castillo. Honduras, both of
whom quoted chapter and verse in
communications received on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Blackington, writing from his
snow-bound home, said he vas mere
" interested in the Valley song-he
felt he had no chance for the prin-
cipal award. From the way you
came in here they must have been

Mr.. Lee, an employee of the me-
chanical department of the Trujillo
Railway company, complimented the
station on the excellence of its pro-
gram and asked to be sent a copy Of
the Valley song.

When the food you eat goes into
your acid-soaked stomach, it sours
and can't digest, makes foul gas
and sou bile. The blood takes these
poisonous acids and carries them
through the BODY. Naturally it
makes you miserable and despon-
dent, because your system is not
nourished-you lose weight.
Pape's Diapepsin dissolves the
acids and sweetens the stomach. 1t
digests the food; no more sour bile
is taken up by the blood. Your ap-

If such is the case. those who favor the plan must not only get the votes of Goddard Holmberg and Willametz and hold all Of those they had at last nieht's meeting. but they must turn two of those who last night went on record as favoring rejection of the school committees program.
