BUILD A RAILWAY
 TO ALASKA

Alaska should be linked with Spokane and Chicago by rail ways through Canada. Hun dreds of millions should be spent providing Alaska with rail and motor highways. For strategical reasons another Singapore must be built at the confluence of Boring Sea and the Pacific.
 America will soon need al the food supplies, pulp, paper and nonferrous metals Alaska can supply. Alaska can pro duce more beef, pork, dairy products, eggs and poultry than Texas, California anc Oregon combined; and yet the people of the. United States have utterly failed to appreci- ate it's commercial or strategic importance.
 There are half a billion Ori- entals on the other side of Ber- ing Sea hungering for the work and fortune to be so easily won in the American and Canadian Northwest. Their ser vices for the production of food, textiles and transport are necessary to the worlds prog ress, and yet Australia, Amer ica and Canada deny them the opportunity of cooperating in the development of hundreds of millions of acres now lying idle.
 It is we'll to remember that China, reorganized by Japan, must find an outlet for half a billion before the century ends; and if Europe is to be saved from more destructive wars, an exodus of hundred or two hundred millions must take place from Europe before 1999.-Mining Truth.

perior to that produced in. the creameries. But the nation al, consumption of creamery butter now exceeds that of the dairy maids manufacture. Probably the greater demand for the creamery product is due more to new distribution requirements and the benefits of mass production than to any superior quality of that product. Farm butter" will always be considered a deli cacy, and the rarer it becomes the more it will be prized by the epicure.
 This change has not, howev- CT, worked hardship upon the dairy farmer His daughters no W go to the city to work in- stead of remaining at home to become dairy maids, and he sells his milk to the creameries at greater profit than his butter ever netted him.It is sig nificant that the dairy farm has not been crying for farm relief" and that dairy product ion has increased many times over during the period in which the creameries were taking over the butter-making business.
