General Advance
After summarizing the economic
situation, the introduction to the
volume touches on progress in other
lines. 1t says: "There are so per
cent more children in school than be-
fore the war. The pre-war death
rate has been reduced by one-third
The rate of recovery and advance
has been impeded by the depletion
of basic capital during the World
War and the civil conflicts. On the
other hand the rehabilitation has
been effected without the aid OF
foreign loans. The merely recon
structive phase is now definitely
past. New economic projects on a
scale unknown to pre-war Russia
are in process of development"
The section on the rise of the co.
operative movement gives some
striking figures and comparisons

close to $11,0O0,0O0,000. They con

Detectives in Pen Are
Nuisance to Warden

ATLANTA, March 13.-Warden
John Shook admitted today that he
had threatened to resign if the de-
partment of justice continues to
place detectives in his prison under
guise of prisoners, without telling
him who they are. Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell says the secret agents
were put there to observe prisoners,
not the warden.
Atlanta prison has been the scene
of numerous scandals, most of which
reflects on the warden, and the lat
ter seems to be sensitive. He wants
to know which prisoner he has to
keep out of the warden's office, say
the other prisoners. Some of them
might report what they are not ex-
pected to see.

without money and trying to avoid
freezing because he had no place to
sleep, was found dead yesterday
morning, lying on top of the boiler
which heats the water in the Car

The worker had evidently crawled
thru a grating to stretch out on the
warm boiler, and persisted from
fumes from the furnace. He had a
canvass overcoat, khaki overalls, thin
socks and no hat.

Production Of Gold Is HeaUier In
 Nome District

! The gold production of Seward Peninsula up to the last sailing of the steamer Victoria last month
 was $l, ,163, ,l81.9O.
 The October figures may be in
 creased some by mail shipments of
 dust before the end of the year. However, the production so far re- ported this year for Seward Penin- Isula is $5OO,OO0 in round figures in excess of that of 1928. This largely lis the result of the augmented operations of the Hammon dredg- ing interests.
 Other activities in the district were about normal. Reindeer ship ments were about the same as for last year. There was a substantial increase in the herring pack of Golovin Bay where over 500,O00 pounds of very fine fish were pack ed. Travel was about the same as in former years, and the incoming passengers were approximately the same i'd number as the outgoing ones.

A New Year Pledge

If all the locoed human critters who
spend good coin for bootleg bitters
would vow to quit that course of folly,
which yields but grief and melancholy,
and if they'd keep that pledge COM
pletely, one problem would be settled
neatly. The prohibition situation is
bothering this moral Nation; it's given
rise to gangster vandals and bribery
and other scandals, corruption rules
exalted places and murder leaves its
CORY traces, and everywhere the booze
is flowing. according to statistics
showing. How to suppress the fright
full traffic? I give the clue, in Ian
guage graphic Let all who drink illicit
whisky and other draughts that make
them frisky, attach their names to
solemn pledges-on which no good
sport ever hedges-to quit consuming
gin and brandy, and all such dopes
as may be handy, which ruin stomachs,
lights and livers-and henceforth drink
from wells and rivers Then in week
our present trouble will blow up like
a tawdry bubble The gangsters now
pursuing riches will have to farm or
dig in bitches: the mariners who now
go sailing with cargoes which will
cause much wailing, will have no mar
ket for their toddies and they'll be
panied in souls and bodies. The out
come would be quite amusing If every
one would cut out boozing: and men
equipped to think and reason should
do it at this happy season. for booze
will only bring them sorrow, head
ache and green taste tomorrow.

BEDTIME STORIES BY y. TH0ssT9' s"Ss1s9

Rabbit belongs to the one who catches
him..
Reddy Fox grinned and it was mean,
tantalizing kind of grin. Then he
doesn't belong to you" he declared.
If you had caught him you wouldn t
be sitting around waiting here"
OF course, this was true, and Hooty
knew it was of no use to pretend it
wasn't. well" said he as before, 'it's
no business of yours. If l didn't get
him this time I'll get him some other
time"
Meanwhile Reddy was looking every
where for some sign of Peter Rabbit.
Where he could have disappeared tc
was more than Reddy could understand.
He couldn't see anything for Peter to
have hidden under or behind. 1t was
very mysterious. 1t was just as If Peter
had been swallowed whole. which of
course. was something that couldn't
happen. Also, it was quite clear to
Reddy that Hooty was just as much
disappointed as was he himself The
thought came to him that it would be
the silliest thing in all the Great World
to quarrel over some one that neither
one of them had caught. Reddy SUD-
denly sat down and began to grin.
"All right. Hooty,' said he Il agree
to that. Peter Rabbit certainly will b.
yours when you catch him. But you
haven't caught him and neither have l.
We ought to work together. Yes, sir,
that's what we ought to do We ought
to help each other. so that one or the
other of us will be sure to get him.
1 don't mind telling you that 1 was
sure of having Peter tonight. was
lying in wait for him and in moment
or two would have had him. had you
not come along After he ran toward
the barn l couldn't see what became
of him. When he didn't appear from
around the corner of the barn thought
you had caught him. What became Of
him?"
Hooty fixed his great. round. fierce
yellow eyes on Reddy Fox. Il know
what became of him." said he, but
don't know why I should tell you"
There's no reason why you should
tell me, Brother Hooty.' declared Reddy
in his pleasantest way. There is no
reason at all. am just naturally curl
Gus, that is all. I wonder if he could
have popped into this little house you
are sitting on"
NO" said Hooty." he didn't do that.
If you don't believe me, just look in
there yourself.
Did he dodge around the other side
of the barn?" asked Reddy.
mo" said Hooty, "he didn't do that"
"Well, then. what did he do?" de-
manded Reody.
He just disappeared" said Hooty.
