THE FUTURE OF ALASKA

Although the territory of Alaska is a
fifth as large as continental United
States, it is probably one of the most
misunderstood areas on the face of the
globe, as far as the average American
is concerned.
Most of us, no doubt, think of Alaska
as of rigid northern waste where men dig
for gold amid dreadful arctic storms
We think of mineral wealth as its only
natural source and we endow it with a
climate something like Greenland's.
All of this is brought to mind by re-
cent copy of The Industrial Bulletin,
little periodical issued in Massachusetts
by Arthur D. Little, Inc. Under the
heading. unknown Alaska" this bulle-
tin sets forth the real facts about this
huge territory-and predicts a prosper
Gus future for it.
To begin with, Alaska's summer climate
is as pleasant as that of the United
States Winter conditions depend on
the locality; in the north they are severe,
but in the southeast they are as mild as
in Washington, D. C.
The territory is equipped to become an
enormously productive agricultural reg
ion The yield of wheat and potatoes is
unusually high, the growth of grasses is
luxurious enough to support huge herds
of cattle, and fruits and vegetables can
be grown to advantage in the southern
section.
Alaska's vast forests have hardly been
touched so far. Her gold and copper
mines are famous; in addition the terri
tory has extensive coal deposits and a
considerable quantity of tin, together
with extensive limestone and marble de-
posits. Biologists believe that it also
contains huge oil fields that will some
day be of high Importance.
All in all, this would seem to indicate
that Alaska is far from being the frigid,
God-forsaken place that most of US have
assumed Gold is among the least of its
natural resources. Some day, when the
population of the United States has in
creased still further, and money for de-
velopment is available, Alaska undoubt-
edly will come into her own as pros
porous and popuous part of the United
States. Nature has given the land the
potentialities of greatness. Some day
they will be realized,

THE CASE AGAINST WAR

The case for international armament
reduction has seldom been put more
clearly or convincingly than IN the re-
cent address made by President James
Rowland Angell of Yale University to
that institutions graduating class.
Discussing the general question OF
world peace, Dr. Angel said:
"Of all the nations of the earth we are
most powerful and have least at stake
in any sheer question of armament. On
us above all others therefore it rests to
take generous and liberal attitudes, dis
regarding the pettifogging efforts. to
match with other nations inch for inch
on the length of our guns and pound for
pound on the tonnage Of our vessels.
Zone need not be professed pacltlst
to realize the grotesque futility OF war
as a means for the just settlement Of
international issues and its utterly ira
tional wastage of life and treasure. With

Leave some for me- want to
cool off, begged Jackie. And
when Peetie was quite wet he went
TO lie down in the shade, whi,c
Jackie splashcd the remainder of the
water from the bird bath over his
fur When Jackie had finished the
basin was almost dry.
"Ha, SO YOU two splashers have
been taking the birds bath water.''
cried Uncle Wiggily as he hopped
out Jackie and Peetic were much
surprised, and Jackie said;
"'We didn t know that water was
for the birds, Uncle Wiggily.'
1--WE thought il was for us, -
barked Poetic.
You dog boys are big enough TO
90 to the brook when you want u
drink or bath, - said Uncle Wig
gilv. "Pleasc leave this basin for
the birds. - Jackie and Poetic said
they would and as they were So
very warm, Uncle Wiggily took the
scissors and trimmed off some Of
their hair, which made them much
cooler. And after that there was
always plenty of water in the bird
path, for the puppy dog boys did
not again splash it all out over
themselves. They went to the brook
to swim.
SO the birds were much happier.

UNCLE WIGGILy's sPLAsHERs

Hiding behind boy near the bat&
steps of his hollow stump bungalow,
Uncle Wiggily watched earcfullg
the bird bath he had set on the
grass in the yard.
Somebody, said the rabbit
gentleman, speaking in a low voi-c
to himself, somebody has been
Splashing the water out of the bird
bath SO they can't have drink or
cool off on hot day. And l mus
catch the splashers, whoever they
are.
AS ! told ven in the story beforc
this one, Uncle Niggily had filled
tin pan with water and set it in
! his yard for bird bath. Came the
Blue JAY, came the Startling, came
I the Robin, and came many other
| birds to battle in the water and ther
were thankful to Uncle Wiggilv for
making the bath for them.
! But, after while, the Robin said
/ there was no water in the bath.
Uncle Wiggily thought this strange
as he knew he had put plenty in Il
Z filling the basin second time, the
Thrush also went and told the rab-
bit gentleman there was no water
for his bath. Mr.. Longcars said:
"This is very strange and myS-
terious, | must find out who is
| taking away the water from the
bird bath as fast as | put il i'm the
/ BASIN So now we see Uncle Wig
/ gily hiding to see who had been
, splashing away the water that was
/ intended to cool the warm birds.
! For a long time nothing happened
except what should have happened.
Came the Blue JAY, came the Star
/ ling. came the Robin, and there was
water enough for all of them to have
drink and take a bath.
Then, all of a sudden, Uncle Wig
