A Nations Appetite.
Houston Post-Dispatch.)

Accurate figures showing the per capita sumption of foodstuffs in the United States over a long stretch of years lacking. Such figures as are available however, point to sharp decline in the average amount of foodstuffs consumed by each nhabtant and to notable decline in the consumption of such foodstuffs as beef and pork
 That there is direct and significant relation ship between the dwindling American appetite and the troublesome farm-surpus problem seems as- sured Within reasonable limits the tendency toward fewer meals and calories is regarded by health authoritiec as desirable and conducive to better health. But the craze to diet and gain slim figures undoubtedly has been carried in many instances to an injurious extreme And evidences of mal- nutrition on the part of adults especially young women, multiply.

AMERICANS EATING LESS, SAYS
 WRITER.

An Eastern newspaper writer has deducted from Government statistics that per capita consumption lof food in the United States is decreasing. People are not eating as much as formerly Whether this lis due to the fact if it is fact that individuals are not working as hard as they used to work at manual labor whether it is due to a dieting tendency has not been determined. It is contended that the enormous expansion of the use of labor saving machinery has had the effect of tanning apetites. In older days much larger proportion of power used food-made muscles. Mems capac- ity to work depended lagely upon their capacity to eat.
 Closely allied with this situation is dieting, which almost has become a habit with a constantly growing percentage of the people. That too, reduces the demand for foodstuff
 Is it possible that the recent more or less con- elusive evidence of marked essening of the per capita of food is due to the phenomenal sale of Emil Ludwig's Life of Napoleon? Herr Ludwig quotes Napoleon as saying that it matters now how little we eat we eat too much. There a large number of people who to think if they do tke great have done that it might make them great.
 Whatever the and whatever may be the amount of the decline in food consumption, there is evidence yet that it is controlling factor in farm-relief requirements.

Growing Canada.
Dawson News.)

A comparison of present industrial conditions in Canada with the situation nearly thirty years ago produces interesting picture. Before 1900 agri- culture was the leading industry, with inanufactur ing two-thirds as important Today agriculture still leads in net value of product, but the differ ence is rapidly disappearing. Manufacturing has
 increased TOO per cent over that of 1901 and agri
 culture 400 per cent. Concident with the develop
 ment in manufacturing has been the construction
 of power plants to furnish energy for their opera tons. Hydro installation in 1900 less
 than 100000 horsepower, and todays installation has capacity of five and one-half million.
 In 1901 the value of Canadian mineral produc- tion less than fifty million dollars, and in 1929 the total will be close to three hundred mill lion dollars. It is only within the last four years that the value of the mineral resources of the country have begun to be appreciated Canada now ranks first among the nations of the world in the and the output of copper, lead and zinc and other minerals is rapidly increasing
 Building contracts awarded in Canada have in- creased in value in the past fifteen years from $170000000 year to $472 100000 All groups of economic ndices, such those for employment, car loadings, insurance sales and many others tend to show that the expansion of the past few years has been general in all lines of industry, and that the present prosperity of the country is on an exceedingly stable basis. comparative study of the corresponding indices in the United States suggests that the rate of improvement in Canada from 1926 to 1928 has been five to six times rapid as that which has occurred in the United States Although agriculture remains the most important industry of the country, yet the diver Sity of economic production has now become suf- ficient so that the disaster to the wheat crop is not expected to produce than temporary setback to Canadian business.

THE FIRST ANIMALS By Mary Graham Bonner

Come along Come along! Hur. ry Hurry!" cried the Little Black Clock. We're going to have glorious adventures now. See! I've turned the time back ever and ever so far almost to the beginning of things in this world"
 The Little Black Clock, who had been given the magic which madc it possible for him to turn the time way, way back or way, way for ward, had invited John and Peggy to share his adventures. We're going to see some strange sights this evening" he continued suddenly the whole scene changed and the world seemed to be strange and empty and without any famil- jar landmarks.
 "F'lip-flop, flop-flop, flip flop, came some queer sounds.
 What in the world are we going to see?" John asked.
 T don't think this place is a bit pretty Peggy said.
 Tt hasn't had a chance to do much with itself as yet" the Little Blac kClock said. Even the world had to get settled. You know when people move they are all up- set at first and nothing looks very lovely, but in time they get it all strengthened out.
 Tt was the same with the world. It had to get settled before it real ly could be at home to people. It's not ready for people now"
 "Flip-flop, flip-flop," same the sounds again.
 "Look!" shouted the Little Black Clock "The very first animals
 What little squirming things! I wouldn't call them animals" John said.
 They're the first of all-maybe not beautiful-but still they're the very first"
 And John and Peggy saw crea- lures that looked like lizards.

ELBRIDGE WARREN MERRILL
(By DR. JAMES H. CONDIT)


 Practically the entire population of Sitka gath cred in the rain of a late October day to pay the last rite of respect for Sitkas most distinguished citizen Elbridge Warren Merrill born in Bos- ton Massachusetts, June 23, 1868. Of his early life but little is known here. Alaska and this particular section became acquainted with him in 1897 when he first visited this place. Two years later, in 1899 he established his home in the then capital of the Territory. For thirty years he has made his home at Stka. Under the ravages of an attack of influenza which developed into pneumonia he pass ed away after but few days of illness. The entire town is in mourning because of his going. He died early in the morning of Sunday October 20. Funeral services were held Tuesday, the 22nd. The ad- dress was given by Dr. James H. Condit, old time friend
 It is probable that no in Alaska will be more missed than MT. Merrill. He did not add much to the material wealth of the Territory for money meant nothing to him. The only gold he cared for the gold of the rays of the setting sun. The sivery path of the moon shining across the placid waters of his beloved Jamestown Bay was more significant to him than any store of silver dollars. And he conceived himself to be a with very definite mission. In the midst of a world of singular local beauty and section of Alaska which not be excelled for the magni- ficence of it's scenery he dedicated himself to the high calling of interpreting that which he saw, to the world by of his inimitable art
 He worshiped the God of Beauty. His religion was to interpret that beauty in terms of art. And wonderfully well did he succeed in this self ap pointed task. In the American magazine of few years ago Barrett Willoughby termed him the Father of Pictures" Artists in all parts of the United States appreciate the truthfulness of that title better than of less talent possibly do The beauty of mountain and sea- of tree and flow CT, of bird and tmid deer, he appreciated, appro- priated and then gave richly to others His records of the natural world, viewed by the eye of true artist, must remain the authentic portrayal of what really is.
 We have all too few men of his type in Alaska The material engrosses too much. We prone to look with scorn upon man whose vision is that of the poet artist. Too much is money the measure of success with the average Alaskan. It is with sincere that all who love the spiritual realities bid farewell to E. w. Merrill. If by his devotion to his art he has made the world better, if he has taught others to what otherwise would not have been seen and appreciated if his ideal, so faithfully carried out has been inspiration and example to others, then he has not lived in vain All of these ends he has accomplished. To the gentleman, scholar, artist, friend and sincere workman we bid loving farewell.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

Unless students of Dixie politics have unduly stressed the importance of the great political battle in Virginia the South has at last wrenched itself tcians and re-enthroned the sterling manhood that for so many generations characterized that section. While returns meager in this writing, the Asso- cated Press says John Garland Pollard the regular Democratic organization candidate for Governor has been elected by large majority.
 Pollard overcame fusion of the Republicans and anti-Smith Democrats who had nominated an anti Smith Democrat for Governor The fusionists en- deavored to consolidate into a solid phalanx the elements which gave the State to Hoover in the election last year Their most distinguished expon- ent among the Democrats Methodist Bishop James Cannon, Jr. who last year received the Christian Herald medal for the most distinguished religious work in America in recognition of his political activities
 The Democratic victory in the Old Dominion is triumph for the regular Democratic organiza- ton headed by John J. Raskob and former Gov Smith Pollard stumped Virginia for Gov. Smith last year and he the regular organization candidate in the primary contest, where he received an emphatic endorsement Those who opposed him in the primary election and the regular anti-Smith Democrats led by Bishop Cannon and other Metho- dist and Baptist preachers tied up with the Re- publicans under the leadership of Bascom Semp, famous politician, and William A. Anderson famed as lawyer and Republican leader. They split the offices between the Anti-Smith Democrats and the Republicans the nominee for Governor going to

FED. FARM BOARD
PROPOSES LARGE
SALES COMBINE
Plans Outlined For Benefit
of Grain Marketing Or
CARNATIONS of Nation
No Agreement Reached AS
Yet; Definite Action Soon
Is Promise

Chicago, July ,26.-Formation of a
farmer-owned sales corporation with
paid up capital of $40, O0O, 900 this af-
lernoon was proposed by the Federal
Farm Board meeting here with Sc
representatives of grain marketing
organizations of the nation.
The corporation, the tentative stag
es OF which were outlined to the
grain men present, would be formed
for the benefit of all grain eoopera-
tives and would operate in markets
of this and other countries, mem
bership would be the basis of assess
ments in building up the working
capital, rather than volume of grain
handled.
The organization would sell col
lectively such portion of the grain
crops which are now, or may be,
marketed comparatively at country
points.
No agreement was reached at to-
days meeting, however and no ac-
ton was taken concerning the detail
ed methods whereby such a central
lied sales corporation might be set
up.
Following the meeting, Alexander
Legge, chairman of the board gave
out a statement in which he stressed
the length of time necessary for
such an organization to be worked
out in detail and placed in active OPP
GRAFTON.
Organization of the proposed cor
poration along the lines which would
make it eligible for loans under the
agricultural marketing act, was ad-
vised by the board. 1t was also
suggested the new corporation, when
formed, would be used as an inter
mediary between the board and all
grain growing cooperatives in finan-
cial transactions.
More than so representatives Of
the grain industry attended today's
session with the board, but left wher
the meeting proper started, the meet
ing having been restricted to mem.
bers of the board and those who hac
been specially invited to attend. Sen.

ented farmer-grain dealer associa

v~ators, wheat pools operating with

In the press statement it was
pointed out that upwards of 40 pei
