PREPARE TOP A
 HARD WINTER

Word from the towns of An '"oon and Hoorah is to the eff
 feet that the native people are planting a large number of gar- denS both in 4nd cut Of the towns. Every avai,. ole pIC' q oround suitable for such a pur- pose is being planted. Thus the reople are preparing to pull through the winter on very
 1mall amount of cash. Although the season is already somewhat advanced there is yet time to mature potatoes turnips, car tots, radishes, lettuce, peas and 2 few other useful vegetables if the season proves at all favor able. The plan is surely a com mcndable one and we most heartily approve it. It is a foregone conclusion that money will not be easy to get next winter and the family that is foresighted enough to make preparation before hand by rais= lng their own vegetables, can ming meats and fish, vegetables, berries and fruits will assuredly fare much better than those who depend on finding jobs when there are no jobs to be had. There was a time when the people lived on the country and although we lave accustomed ourselves of late years to some few so-called modern convent ences and have learned to live in the towns and work for wages, the native people still know how to find their living if need he. Others may tighten their belts but a well filled lard- CT is a mighty comforting pros ect when the snow blows

 Will Not Favor Alaskan Bidders According to a letter from Delegate Wickersham Complaint has been made by some of the shipbuilding companies in Southeastern Alaska that con- Struction of government vessels equently goes to Seattle, which makes it difficult to maintain the several marine ways in the : orth, which are so badly need cd in cases of emergency. The particular instance cited was the recent bids for furnishing two 24-foot launches for use at iso- lated light stations, and for which the successful bidder in Seattle was less than $200 under the next lowest bid, from Alas ka. G. R. Putr7an, Commission CT of Lighthouses, explains that there is no legal authority for acceptance of other than the lowest bids meeting the require
 nentS of the specifications, which in the instance referred to stipulate that delivery of the Launches should be at Ketchi- kan, Section 37C7 Of the Revised Statutes of the<U. S., has fre- quently been held by account ing officers as giving all indus tries equal rights to compete for government business, and at the i same time secure to the govern E1ent the benfits which flow from competition.

GOVERNMENT CHARGED
 WITH WAGE CUTTING

Charges that War department officials have cut wages at West Point Military Academy in vio- lation of Presi lent Hoover's ap- , cal against wage cutting, were laid before Secretary of Labor Doak by Representative F, H Ia Guardia Republican, of New York.
 Doak, being 'Iahor's repre- sentative" in the government, La Guardia appealed to him to take up the matter with Presi- 6ent Hoover. He- wrote:
 "I am certain that the whole country is back of President Hoover in his effort to prevent 2 deflation of wages and lower .ng the American standard ot living. Only greedy and selfish employers without vision will in this period attempt to decrease woges.
 "It is my understanding that your department las made 3 survey of the standard of wages and is keeping informed on un- :ustifiable wage reductions.
 T, therefore, desire to submit ! most fragrant disregard O. prevailing wages, which I be- 'ieve you should lay before the President, because, unfortunate !y, one of the governments owr departments ig setting a bao I exc mple.

IF you are looking for a particus
L larly delicious salad or fruit
cup. keep in mind the possibilities
IF the avacado-known also as
alligator-pear and midshipman's
butter.
This fruit is the exception to the
general rule that fruits lack fat.
It is extremely rich in fat. and the
person on reducing" diet should
not partake thoughtlessly. This
high fat content makes il a good
source of vitamin A, according to
studies and experiments conduct
ed at the University of Southern
California. 1t also is q rich source
of vitamin B. These food SUBJ
stances, in addition to its rich, nut
ty flavor, make it worthwhile
addition to the menu.
In those sections of the country
where ayacados are grown, the
fruit is used in cooked dishes. but
1t is an excellent raw food and is
ordinarily used in its natural state.
When the thick-skinned flesh
yields to q slight pressure, much
as an apple does when We test for
"mellowness," ayacados are ready
TO eat. Then the flesh is as smooth
and tender as a baked custard.
Combined With Tomatoes
A zestful first course for .
luncheon or dinner uses tomatoes
and avacados in combination with
crab flakes. Choose small, per-
feetly ripe and unblemished toma-
toes-one for each person TO be
served. Scald, dip in cold water
and peel. Scoop out the seeds and
chill in a well-seasoned French
dressing for an hour. Drain and
fiji with equal parts of finely diced
aYacado and crab fakes generously
sprinkled with lemon juice. Lime
Juice can be used in place OF lemon
Juice if convenient.
This fruit combines well with
any acid fruit and many piquant
cocktails can be concocted. An
acid is always needed to bring out
the rich favor of the avocado. A
very simple and decidedly up-to-
date way to serve an aTacado cock
tail is ~ dice the fruit. sprinkle
