WORD SPELLS
 TROUBLE" FOR A NEWSPAPER

Syracuse, N. Y.-How the three letter word who" might cause a lot of trouble for a newspaper was demonstrated last week in the Syra- cuse Journal. The otherwise in nocent pronoun erept into a sen tence of a story and completely chaged the meaning, so much so that the Journal printed a two column 1O-point correction in a box on page two.
 The sentence as it appeared in print read: Attorneys Page, Lay & Baker. who signed the schedules, as the officers of the company, are in Auburn prison
 As corrected, the sentence should have read: "Attorneys Page. Lay & Baker signed the schedules, as the officers of the company, are in Au- burn prison
 "The Journal wishes to assure the public that Messrs. Page. Lay & Baker are perfectly honorable gentlemen and are enjoying theiI freedom as usual" said the papers correction.

LARVAE FOUND
 CLOSE TO ALASKA COAST

Victoria, B. C.. Aug. 31.-EX tensiye discoveries of halibut larvae, said to be Of great importance in studying the life and history of the fish, have been revealed here by John P. Babcoek; Chairman of the Canadian American Halibut Commission.
 The discovery was made by the staff of the exploring vessel Dor othy during the summer in the banks off the south end of Kodiak Island to Wosnesensk Island and beyond the Shumagins, west of the Gulf of Alaska. The early life and history of the halibut has been un- known up to now except by a few discoveries of larvae in the Atlantic near Iceland and some off New foundland.
 The larvae discovered off the Coast of Alaska was found close to shore which disproves the theory previously held that the halibut is a deep spawner. The discoveries of the summer are expected to aid in conserving the halibut.

AN EL0PEMENT AT IA

Most parents would be shocked if a daughter eloped and got mar ried at the age of 14, and in most cases their apprehensions would be justified. But one never can tell as a recent news story illustrates.
 A Tennessee girl named Mary Adeline fell in love with A. V. Deadrick, but her parents forbade her to marry because she was only IA. She ran away from home and married her lover. who was 21, and later received her parents forgive ness and blessing. That was a long time ago.
 But MT. and Mrs. Deadrick are still living and have celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary, surrounded by six children and more than fifty grandchildren and eat-grandchildren. Both are still active, he at 93 and she at S6, and conduct a summer resort near Knox vile.
 Briefly stated their recipe for a happy married life is: Be consid- crate of each other; face troubles with a smile; work to the same end in life; each do his or her part in the best way possible; practice self-denial.

GOOD TIMES AND OLD TIMES

Notwithstanding the period of de- precision which has engulfed every section of the country within the past several years, there are still some who can, or fancy they can, catch a glimpse of the silver lining of this dark cloud of business ad- versity.
 Thanks we say, to those citizens who have faith in the future. These are the folks who keep things nov ing. Faith is a wonderful virtue and the lack of it would have long since wrecked the nation, yes the world. and possibly the civilization which those who have lived in 1891 to witness would have dropped completely into collapse. Sometime, and possibly it is not many months away. there will be a return to normal condition; factories will be running full time once more, money will find its way back into the channels of commerce and trade, and the dinner pail which has in some sections been empty so long will once more be filled.
 Even with the hardships which many have undergone, it is doubt full if there are any who would like to see the order of things turned back thirty or more years and new start made from a point that far back in the past. There has been talk, and lots of it recently, of burdensome taxes, of extrav- agence in government and lack of confidence in the business world. Yet no one would want to see con ditions as they were thirty years ago Let your memory run back over the period of the ushering in of the '90s How many automobiles were there in this country? How many miles of improved highways? How many homes had a radio or boasted of an electric refrigerator? How many housewives used vacuum

NEW GRIEVANCE

General indignation is felt in southeastern Alaska over the re- cent emergency regulation where by the season on waterfowl is re- duced to one month.
 The regulation seems to have orig mated with the U. s. Biological Survey approved by Secretary Hyde of the Department Of Agri- culture who secured the approval of President Hoover.
 An emergency regulation was made necessary because of the dis astrous condition caused by pro- longed drought in the wild fowl breeding areas of western and south western Canada and the northern part of the Middle West states. The disappearance of sloughs and marshes from much of this great region prevented the birds from rearing normal numbers of young and as a result the annual migra- ton Of ducks and geese this fall is expected to be the poorest on re- cord.
 The indignation of Alaskans arises from the fact that we were not only summarily cut off with months season although there is no shortage of birds in Alaska, but that the month is September, the poorest duck month of the season.
 Only local birds are available in this section during September and f any, flight birds appear in the Panhandle before October 1. Local birds are addicted to eating fish; they are skinny, full of pin feathers and of inferior quality. But, ac- cording to the regulations, those are all that Alaskans will be per- mitted to take this year.
 It is extremely doubtful if a to- tai of 10000 birds are killed annu- ally in Alaska Wrangell sportsmen bring in approximately 1900 birds between September 1 and December 15. Accustomed to going out in the fall for ducks they seethe anew whenever they reflect on the fact that just one of the many Cali fernia gun clubs will take more ducks on the day the California season opens that all of Alaska would take throughout it's three and one-half months season; and that in the California bags will be many thousands of ducks that stop ped for feeding on the Stikine flats, but not even a few hundred were allowed to be taken by Alaskans.
 Southeast Alaska sportsmen are willing to cooperate and curtail the shooting season if it is necessary for the sake of the thousands of brother sportsmen of the Pacific coast states, but they believe the arbitrary assignment of the month of September is unjust; that Alas kans should be allowed to take ducks a month when they are in their prime. And they do not feet they are being unreasonable when they request that the regulation be changed from September to October in southeast Alaska.
 This Northland is so vast a country that a general regulation is usually unjust to some sections. September is a good open season for the interior and Arctic regions, but the worst possible for south east Alaska

A BRITISH ECONOMIST

Canadian papers last week carried a report of Theodore E. Gregory, British economist, who declared be- fore the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass, that "the world faces the possibility of a financial collapse. Great Britian and the United States alone can avert the collapse, the former with the experience and the latter with the money" All of which moves American readers to wonder what he meant.

About Citrus Marketing

One thing about the marketing Of the 1922 citrus
crop Of the Valley stands definitely settled-the same
marketing agencies will sell the crop during the com
ing season as have sold It for the past four or five
years. two cooperatives and the cash buyers.
Hopes that the two cooperatives operating In the
Valley would find a common meeting ground and be
able to merge are d~issipated for another season AZ
least. So the ground stands the same as In seasons
past.
Looking to other aspects OF the marketing problem.
It would appear that Il is time to take definite steps
toward the broadening of our Valley market.
IL is getting 70 be rather a common occurrence 70
have those who reside at distant points tell us OF their
inability TO purchase Valley fruit in their home cities.
Perchance the fault lies with the Valley itself. rather
than with the retailers and jobbers OF those cities.
Certainly with a bumper crop staring us in the face
for the coming season. with predictions Of the total
output OF that season placed as high as 10000 car
loads, it would seem to be time to take definite
steps to create a demand for Valley grapefruit IN
sections which are as yet non-consumers OF the
fruit OF our orchards.
An advertising campaign is not worked out In "a
hours. certainly not the sort OF advertising campaign
which must be placed throughout the country 70
create the wanted demand for Valley citrus fruits
within four short months the first OF our crop will
be on the market and within five months shipments
will be rolling out in ever increasing quantities.
If the Valley is to advertise its products effectively.
right now is the time to start our planning for that
advertising.
Not only will the planning Of the campaign itself
take time, but-and Just rs important-the raising o.
the necessary funds 70 paw for the campaign will
take time. perhaps more time than the actual plan
ming of the campaign itself.
No one Of the single agencies which will sell the
forthcoming crop Of the Valley can possibly afford
the expense OF the kind OF advertising campaign
needed to put over our Valley grapefruit. The COM
bined resources Of all with perhaps a little help f.m
outside sources will be needed to properly care for
the expense Of the effort
II we arc not to wait another year. NOW Is the
time to start.
