PLANT TROUT AT
 ANCHORAGE RESORT


 Confident that trout will thrive in the waters of Lake Spenard, and ultimately provide Anchorage anglers with summer. and winter sport with hook and line at a convenient distance from town. George Baker has transplanted 400 trout from Otter Lake to the lake south of Anchorage. The fish were caught this week by MT Baker and the transfer made with the loss of only three fish. He was assisted in the work by several local enthusiasts who see great possibilities in the trans planting.
 | It is the hope of MT Baker and those who cooperated with him in the experiment that no one will attempt to catch any of the fish until they have increased suffieently to permit fishing with tout danger of extermination. This will require a season or two at least. As soon as it has been demonstrated that the trout are thriving in their new home, the lake will be thrown open to all who care to try their skill with 1 hook and line.
 A similar experiment was tried ! at Lake Otis and it is said the | transplanted trout are multiply. ing rapidly there.- Anchorage | Times

 Every once in while We find that we are not as civilized as we believe" Judge Sabath said ir commenting on the case. Maybe it was proper to whip ones wife in the middle ages, but l doubt if even then weapon of the ssori we have here was used"
 The Jirouseks were married April 20, 1926, and separated tho following December 1.

Democracy United

For the first time since 1915 the democrats Will
present a solid front in the presidential campaign.
The Houston convention resulted in the nomination q
a candidate and the adoption Of a platform without
repeating the folly Of 1924, placing at the head Of the
ticket a man whose achievements as governor Of the
Empire state won for him the recognition that is his
due.
While the platform is not entirely satisfactory %
some Southern voters, it represents a compromise OF
the views of both elements on the prohibition issue
The clear-cut declaration for law enforcement is sat
isfactory to the great majority Of those who believe
prohibition is the paramount issue, and the record Of
Governor Smith is in itself sufficient guarantee that
the Eighteenth amendment will be enforced under his
administration. The fact that it does not coincide with
his personal views will in no way detract from his de-
termination to enforce the fundamental law Of the
land.
The platform, adopted without a fight on the floor
Of the convention, bears witness to the new spirit Il
the party-a spirit that will promote party harmony
and restore to democracy the leadership lost through
factionalism and the refusal Of factional leaders 90
compose their differences upon broad principles which
recognize no sectionalism.
The democratic program for farm relief as outlined
in the party platform and by convention speakers, will
appeal TO the agricultural interests Of the entire coun-
try. Refusal to accept the equalization fee as a party
policy proves the wisdom Of party leaders who refused
TO depart from the fundamental precepts Of democracy
and grant to any industry a special subsidy. Tariff
equalization and promotion, through federal aid. of
marketing eo-operatives is the solution OF the agricul-
tural problem offered by the Smith and Robinson plat
form, and this is the logical solution. The democratic
slogan Of mo special privileges" applies to agriculture
As we'll As other industries, and it is the objective Of
the party to restore agriculture, through equalization

The World and All
HISTORY
By Charles p. Driscoll

Recently / said something about museums for small
communities. ! ventured the observation that America
is becoming history conscious, and that Americans are
beginning to realize the rich value of this continents
past. l emphasized the fact that small communities
can do a great service to themselves and to the cOun-
try as a whole by establishing modest museums in
which the color Of their life may be preserved.
New England is perhaps more conscious Of the value
Of its past than most parts Of the United States, al
though in some sections Of the south and in California
there are history-minded communities.
IN certain New England towns it has long been the
custom for large financial institutions to assist IN
preservation Of local history by issuing booklets from
time to time containing priceless sidelights on local
history.
One Of the most attractive Of these booklets liz,
before me. II is Some Famous Privateers Of New Eng
land" written BY Ralph NJ. Eastman and privately
printed for the State Street Company. Of Boston.
This is a brochure Of s pages, handsomely illustrated
with rare engravings and wood cuts, printed on heavy
paper and handsomely bound in heavy paper covers.
1 am informed that the company that issued this
booklet makes a practice OF issuing something equally
important each year. ! have picked UP in secondhand
book stores somewhat similar publications issued by "a
company in Providence from year to year.
Now. ] submit that the publication Of such histori-
cal brochures as a regular institutional program is not
only an important service to the cities concerned. but
that il is in all likelihood, appreciated BY those COM
~munities.
Here's a suggestion to bankers in other Aemrican
cities. Your town and your state have rich historical
matter that never has been presented attractively IL
books. There is much local tradition that is going %
die out like the grass in autumn unless somebody pre-
serves il in printed form.
Il you should adopt the policy Of presenting your
best customers annually with a little historical bro
chure that would have dignity and authenticity. done
you think such a program might help to build your in
Sttution up as something more than a mere interest
getting establishment, in the minds az generations W
local folk? ] think it might work out we'll
OF course, any such program requires the services
q some local person who is history-minded and who
can write well. But that's not an insuperable obstacls
to the performance Of the sort OF service | have men
toned.

Good Business

At the regular meeting Of the Cameron county COM
missioners court Monday. $4,000 Of the county's sink
ing fund was invested in Rio Hondo street improve
ment bonds. bearing interest AZ the rate Of 1-2 per
cent. A few months ago the county bid in $4,000 Rio
Hondo water system bonds, paying par and accrued
interest for both issues.
Cameron county now has SI5s.000 invested in flood
control bonds, tick eradication warrants and Rio Hondo
municipal bonds. the flood control bids bearing inter
est al the rate Of 4 IL per cent and the others 5 -
per cent The rate Of interest received from deposit
taries is p per cent, the investments representing a
profit az narly $4,000 per year for the county.
However, the interest derived IL not the only fac
tor. Manifestly, It is good business for the county to
invest in these securities, but il II better business to
protect the bonds Of the smaller communities, such as
Rio Hondo. As a rule the small bond issues do no5
attract investors, and as q result bonds of such com
munities are often sold AZ a loss.
Cameron county in bidding par and accrued interest
On Rio Hondo bonds was merely protecting that COM
munity against possible loss. The county had the
funds available, was anxious 70 invest them. and the
commissioners court holds there il no better invest
ment than Cameron county securities or securities Of
Cameron county communities. The bonds were worth
par and accrued interest TO Cameron county ~ an in
vestment for its sinking fund, and il was good business
for both the county and the Rio Hondo taxpayers 70
bid them in. In the event Rio Hondo can az any time
secure a higher price for the bonds she is at liberty
to do so, but the taxpayers have the satisfaction Of
knowing that they are getting at least par value on
bonds which carry a moderate rate Of interest.
