PRIMARY LAW NOT INVOLVED

The platforna of George B. Grigsby is not different in principal to that adopted by Democratic Divi- sional Conventions and the Democratic Territorial Convention He stands for home rule in Alaska as do all the Democratic asprants for the Delegate ship and other nominations
 MT Grigsby, however among other things de- clares that he is in favor of 'the direct primary law and absolutely opposed to its repeal That IS certainly not an issue in the Delegateshp contest nor in the contest for National Committeeman, delegates to the National Convention or for any of the Territorial offices. The primary law IS a Territorial statute and the question of It's retenton amendment or repeal are not matters to be decided anywhere except in the Territorial Legislature.
 There is no declaration for it's repeal in the Demo- cratic Territorial Platform in the platforms Of any of the Divisions of the Territory The matter did not even come up for consideration at the Pet ersburg convention.
 MT Grigsbys declaration that proposal may be a reflex from movement that was sprung by John Frame and a few others at Ketchikan who have been shouting that everybody except those who are cliquing with them are in favor ot the repeal of the direct primary and the disfranchisement or the women voters of the Territory The whole hul- labaloo is so silly that sensible people are inclined to disregard it rather than to make the shoueers appear ridiculous Of course the suggestion that the repeal of the primary law. if it were an issue which it is not would disfranehse the women voters is so absurd that it would be an insult to the Tn telligence of women voters to consider 1t seriously
 The Democratic Territorial Conventon cefVdlnhy showed no disposition to adisfranchise~the women voters when it provided that there should be as many women as men on the Territorial and Dlvl- sional Committees. The various Democratic Dlvi- sional Committees have been authorized to select women members at early date and that VIII soon be done.
 There are a lot of people who believe that piin- arv election law might be passed that would be more representative than the one we have one tha1 would not offer so much opportunity for cheap demagoguery dust paving, and bloc combinations and manipulation in the interest of offlce seekers.

 Unreasonably Kitty resented that David should take himself off just now. She felt a little scorn for any need of his Why didn't he marry Dorcas, when it was so plain that he could have her.
 All the next day Kitty stared at herself in the glass. Hubby must have thought she looked dowdy. Perhaps tomorrow some of the crowd would come in just to see how changed she was.
 All the next day Kitty waited fearfully for some ore of Cars crowd to come. Each time any enc appeared around the dividing partition her heart missed a beat

 Hubby turned his head to right and left. Then he leaned across the counter. Whats the bid idea, Kitty? Are you here incog? Gar said you were in Bridgewater.
 He did, did he? Kitty smooth ed. the blouse she had crumpled. She put it in the paper case. Well I'm not. What can I show you, Tubby?' For Miss Lee was dan eerously near them.

 The leather coats were in far corner. Kitty led him that way.
 Isis Gar back?" She didn't want to ask Hubby that, to expose her hurt and her lleartache but Iher lips framed the question in- stantly against her will.
 She saw the puzzlement grow in Tubby's face,

A Ray of Sunshine

 Not the latest celebrated movie couple to drift the matrimonial rocks could wrest first place in the newspaper photographs yesterday from the baby giraffe at the zoo. It came into New York last Sunday with Spring to take mems minds away from business depression and inter- national complications and tax bills at Washing ton
 Looking at this mite of quadrupedity- as late as Wednesday, when it stood up for the first time have it's picture taken, it registered only 5s feet sinches-one found himself smiling and transported, if only for little while to a world of things pleasant than business cy- cles. It is only incurable pessimist who would say of that graceful head, poised the long neck and lifted high by a pair of stiltlike legs, that it was peering forward to see something turning the corner.
 Long familiarity in the of the giraffe, has transformed what is essentially a comic crea- ture into something quite endearing that at the same time remains grotesque. The scientists say, lof course, that the spindle legs and the towering neck are to enable the giraffe to feed on the delicate higher leaves of the forest trees But these same scientists if the giraffe were six inches tall would tell you that Nature intended the gi- raffe to feed on the sturdy underbrush of the forest The layman knows better. Nature created the giraffe in order that few specimens in the zoos of great cities, might make men forget, ii for a little while, their cares and their worries

THE COW INCREASE

study of trends in cattle production in the United
States reveals that there successive cycles of

United States Three definite cycles averaging about

another cycle got under way and numbers have been in
creasing since that time.

Erosion Threatens
Cut In Acre Yields

Lower crop yields per acre with re,
sulting higher production costs are
among the chief dangers of land eros
ion, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This process is
already under way, the department
says.
Despite the fact that this country is
letting its soil away faster than any
other nation, there is little threat Of
an immediate land shortage There is
danger, however, in land reaching the
point where farmers can not gain a
respectable living from it, the depart
ment says.
In the face of improved methods
and machinery, improved varieties and
increased use of fertilizers, average
yields of some crops have dropped
The average yield of cotton for the
10-year period 1871-188O was 1864
pounds per acre, compared with 1879
pounds for the period 1921-193O, re-
duction that can not be charged en-
tlrely to insects or to use of marginal
land. The average yield of corn for
the 1O-year period 1871-1980 was 27O4
bushels per acre, while from 1921 70
1880 the yield was 26.13 bushels per
acre. That the yield of corn has de-
clined in spite of all the Improvement
in growing the crop must have some
relation to eroded land, since the crop
has not spread out extensively inIO
dry regions and has not been deVaSF
ated by insects or disease.
Erosion is being checked in many
parts of the United States through
terracing, sodding, and similar praF
tees. Work of the United States "
partment of Agriculture proves .n'
excessive erosion can be controlled

Farm Taxes

A survey of 1000 farms shows that

cents an acre in 1918 to $1.O2 an acre
in 1880, according to the United

Taxes in the West North Central
States increased 151 per cent in the
