KODIAK TOWN SPENDS GOOD SUM IMPROVE
 SCHOOL GROUNDS

KODIAK, Mar, 6, Special to The Gateway Five hundred dol lars is the sum that has been ex- pended by the local citizens upon
 the public school grounds at Kodiak during the past winter, according to a statement made by Jack Hunt, who has had per- sonal charge.
 The work consisted largely in bcautifying the grounds and in covering large portion of the grounds with a foot of clean gra- vel procured from the beaches and which will afford ample play grounds for many adolescent scholars. Swings, merry -go-rounds. teeter-totters and many novel means of affording play and re- creation have been installed by the local residents under the su pervision of MT. Hunt at a con- siderable and a material expense and at the last meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce MT. Hunt suggested that steps be talk en by the Chamber to to endeavor to induce the Territorial Legis- lature to appropriate sufficient funds with which to complete the plans as outlined by MT. Hunt and to have the grounds in readiness for next Fall when the school year again commences.
 The Chamber, by an unanimous vote, agreed to take up the mat ter with the Legislature and to urge the completion of the plans as adopted by the local resi- dents.

Chinaman Put Forward as Inventor of Ches

Many theories are put forward as
TO the origin of chess.
Whether it was invented by the Chi
nese. the Hindus, the Persians, or the
Greeks, it is quite certain that the
game IS over 1900 years old. as it has
been mentioned in manuscripts written
10 centuries ago.
A Chinese general of long ago, Ham
sing by name. has been credited in
some quarters with its invention.
The generals armies were invading
the country of the Shansi where. dur
ing the summer time. his troops were
satisfied with their lot. but amidst the

To allay this feeling of unrest. 1t is
said that the general. after much

called chong-hi, or the royal game.

and Sixteenth centuries were very i'm

BEST TO DISPOSE
OF "LEAKING" COW
Percentage of Cures Shown
to Be Small.

Many high producing milk cows will
be seen with the milk dripping or
streaming from their udder for some
time before the usual milking time.
The owners of such cows will be de
sirous of learning how to prevent this
loss of milk. Usually there is only
one way to prevent that Is generally
satisfactory, and that is to milk these
cows often enough to prevent the dis
tention of the udder which causes this
leaking. By milking these cows three
or four times a day. this loss usually
is prevented. Since many owners do
not find it convenient to do this, it is
usually best TO dispose of these an
imals.
Several different treatments have
been advocated for this conditions, but
nom of them promise sufficient results
to warrant their being generally used.
Under no condition should rubber
bands be placed around the teatS nor
should the teats be tied off with tape.
Where the leakers are not too bad.
occasionally the openings in the end of
fhe teat can be contracted slightly by
painting with tincture of iodine or
by making a saturated solution of
alum and injecting 1t just inside the
Opening. Most owners find any of
these treatments too troublesome to
be practical.
When the cow is persistent leaker
and leaks away good quantity of her
milk. it is usually best to dispose of
her unless she is an exceptionally val
liable COW for breeding purposes. as
the percentages of recoveries are 80
very small that it hardly seems desir-
able to keep such cows in the herd
unless they are exceptionally valuable

Diplomatic Trick That
Served Useful Purpose

Bismarck precipitated great war
by altering a telegram.
Daniel Webster and Alexander Bar
ing, Lord Ashburton. prevented one
by very similar device, but they new
er Dragged about it, Isaac s. Metcalf
writes, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
They were trying to fix the bound
airy between the United States and
Canada from the Atlantic and the
Rockies. They made much progress
in the first months of 1S42, for they
were alike eager for peace and they
recognized that the old treaty of 1888
would no longer work.
1t was, however, one thing for Web
ster and Ashburton to draft a treaty
and very much another to get 1t rati-
fed. The Canadian rebellion of 1887
and the Fenian adventure of the Caro-
line had stirred up the jingoes on both
sides. The British parliament was
properly indignant and the United
States senate ran true to form.
In July, 1912, however, Webster pro-
duced before the senate an early
French map which showed a red line
sustaining the British claim. This
line, he said. represented Benjamin
FrankIin's understanding of what the
boundary should be. The senators
from Maine and the house delegation.
too, took one look and came to heel.
Almost on the same day the Brit
ish foreign office submitted to parlia-
ment a map which was supposed to
have belonged TO King George III, and
which showed a red line which fol-
lowed closely the American claim
The legend ran TO the effect that this
line indicated the boundary, las de-
scribed by Mr.. Oswald" who had been
one of the British peace commission
ers of SO years before.
Lord PalmersIon. always a fireeat-
er, ranted against what be called the
"Ashburton capitulations," but parlia-
ment made haste to approve the treaty.
The United States senate was also
surprisingly tame and voted hastily tc
ratify. 1.-The battle of the maps" az
Webster called it. was won and the
present boundary. midway between
the red lines of the two maps, was
fixed for keeps.
The Canadians, especially in New
Brunswick. felt that parliament had
let them down. A good many people
in Maine regarded the senate's action
in the same light.
Then. too. there are still those who
suspect that both the maps were pre-
pared for the occasion.

Impossible to Find Any
Profit in Scrub" Cows

When the prices Of butterfat and
feed are normal, ten cows producing
an average of 100 pounds of fat pc,

conditions one cow producing 400
pounds of butterfaf will earn S13S
When you multiply the butterfat pro
duction of COW four times. you null
tiply your income ten times and you
cut your feed costs per pound of but

II is suggested that out of the more
thar a million cows MIXED in Texas
there must be a very large number
that never make a profit for their own
ers. How much better 1t would be to
sell six scrubs for butchering purposes
and buy one good COW.
When scrub cows are sold to other
farmers for dairy purposes the indus

sunken road behind it stand the
troops of the Confederate General

the heights the Confederate artillery
opens up and a storm of shot and
shell tears through the ranks of the
men in blue. But they press on. From
behind the stone wall there comes a
hail of bullets. The blue line reels
back. But another one is forming.
No less than seven times do the
Northerners charge and each time
the charging line breaks and piles its

dramatic, fruitless, murdered courage
of the war in which American fought

the effort.
Up from many places on that death
strewn open field there rises moan
ing cry which swells into diapason
of agony-"Water Water! For Gods
sake, water" It rises above the
sound of the bullets which still whistle
overhead and above the rumbling of
the big guns which are not yet stilled.
