CANNED DOG FODD FRANKS
 THIRD MEANING INDUSTRY
(Nome- .Nnggets)

We had Hhes pleasure of seeing some very clever advertising which the Alaska Livestock and Packing Company, a subsidiary of tbe Lomen Reindeer. Evaporation, has been get ting out in connection with the White Rover dog food. It is to be re- gretted that the Fair has no sample of the new ereindeer product which is being manufactured by them in Se- attle.
 If. our readers were asked to name the three leading products in the canned goods line, We doubt if many would know that canned. dog foods now rank third, with milk first and soups. second. The market for the food is tremendous, and the. Alaska Livestock and Packing Company, be- lieving it has "a superior article, hopes eventually to lead in canned dog foods.
 White Rover is the result of most careful investigation and, is, a scien- tifcally balanced ration, containing reindeer meat, liver, barley, bran, car orts and flou.. It is packed in a plant having United States Fedeal inspec- tion and is guaranteed "Fit for .Hu- man 0 Consumption" It is fully cooked and ready to be served. z. Chemists have pronounced it first in quality among dog foods on the market. at the present time.
 It is gratifying to know that White Rover although introduced but .sa short time ago, has already taken its place the leading brand on the Pa cifc coast. It has also been intro- duced into the Middle West and into the Eastern States, where it is sold under the trade name of "Vita-G aines."
 Some of the appeal which it has made, te dog owners may possibly be credited to the fact that it is a great oCiS1cCClOu CO d IudIl IO A1IV~ LAEAl he is feeding food to his dog which ne himself could eat. All distributors are enthusiastic over the new pro- duct, and it's succes shas been little short of phenomenal
 Over 10000 cass have been cold in the past few mnths, a very satisfac- tory record for product just making it's entr yinto the field.
 White Rover will do much for the reindeer industry by permitting only the choicest reindeer cuts to be sold over the block and reserving the cheaper cuts to be used in building up a balanced ration for dogs and foxes. With the money and energy that are being expended by the Alas ka Livestock and Packing Company for tn eindustry in Alaska, it seems certain that satisfactory market will be found for reindeer meat in the States. The industry will then come into it's own, and will easily attain first position in importance to North

One of the most colorful and en- thusiastic public gatherings ever held in Washington was the notification meeting on the night of August Il. when President Herbert Hoover was officially informed of his nomination by the Republican National Conyen- tion. Prominent men and wamen from all over the United States were present upon this gala occasion, while the radio hookup permitted millions of listeners to hear and appreciate the clear, forceful and courageous jews of an able, sincere and deeply conscientious Chief Executive. Hav- ing been favored with tickets, the writer was enabled to be present in the notification hall and upon behalf of Alaska to applaud the stirring declarations of the next President of the United States.

The Eastern newspapers have had accounts of the arrival in Boston har-
 bor of the famous revenue and coast
 guard Bear of Oakland" which con- stunned 22 days in coming from San
 Francisco and arrived on the night of August 10. The Bear had been pur- chased by Rear Admiral Richard E.. Byrd, who plans a second journey into
 the Antarctic and who paid but $1 ,OO0 for the vessel. It. is auxiliary pow >,ered, is 191 feet long, and has dis
 placement of 2,000 tons. It has a I ,OOO-horsepower engine, is square rigged on the foremast, with the sails running fore and aft in the latter two. Until recent years the Bear was famous for her annual trips to Nome and the Arctic ocean. One memorable trip was made during the winter of 1897, when San Francisco newspapers sponsored an expedition for the relief of whalers whose ships were ice bound among the floes of the Arctic. The Bear pushed as far north as pos sibe, and then land expedition was formed that successfully rescued the almost starving members of the whal- ing crews. Among the officera of the Bear were a number of men who af-
 terwards became prominent in the U. s. Coast Guard service. One of them was Lieut.. Harry G. Hamlot, who two months ago was appointed commandant, with title of rear ad- miral, having headquarters at Wash ington.

The depression has increased busi- ness in the corncob pipe industry, ac- cording to E. H. Otto, Missouri's corncob pipe king, who says that the Eastern market is better this year than formerly. Hit attributes the in creased demand for corncob pipes to flattened purses, which causes smok- CTS to- buy less expensive pipe.

Bartley Howard, president of one of the early coal mining companies in the Matanuska region, was in Wash ington a few days ago in connection with perfecting his title to certain holdings along the Alaska Railroad. These he has arranged to sell to 8 syndicate of capitalists at Fellows, California. They contemplate ,epen- ing up the properties on large scale. They are located on Moose creek. The intention is to cneate- a market and ship coal to California ports. There will be ample capital to assure development on a policy Ethat will mean considerable revenue to the railroad in shipping the fuel to tide water at Seward, and make necessary the construction of coal .buhhers at that locality.

The Perennial Refusal

Owen D. Young. the General Electric Company maghate. has once more indicated that he does not care to become the eandi- date of the democratic party for the presi- deney. This time Mir Young has seen fit to kill the latest boom to put him up among the leading candidates for the nomination right where it was born. When the Little Falls. N. r.. Times came out editorially for Mir Young not so many days ago it was construed as direct evidence of his inten- ton to get into the contest. for Little Falls is right in the heart of Mir Youngs own native district and what more natural than for the presidential boom to start there.
 To queneh the flame before it spreads Mir Young wrote to the editor of the Little Falls Times personal friend, and among other things. stated that 50 may say defi- nitely and finally that cannot. for reasons which are so controlling as. not to be open to argument, accept a nomination for the presidency if made. :" Of course. Mir Young couldn't very well decline the nom- ination if it was offered to him. still he is  doing the very best any man ever did to avoid it. There are a good many people who are just dying to find out what could be so important as to keep a man from accepting the presidency.
 They are the optimists who firmly be- lieve that democratic nomination this year actually means election. There arc diverse reasons strong enough to turn Mir Young aside from the nomination. His business affiliations no doubt. constitute the greatest. If we were cruel we might say that Mir Young was trying to display an insight into the future. He might be avoiding disrup- ton in democratic ranks worse than that which occurred in 1928 with Alfred E. Smith the candidate. But to merely say that is heresy upon our part There is no real reason why we should try to explain Mir Young's stand other than idle curiosity and perhaps desire to claim inside informa- ton or something of that nature. Suffice it to say that his second or is it the third or fourth, refusal to get in the race makes it easier for the delegates to the national con. vcntion. There are fewer eligibles now. /

Waterbury Honored

Waterbury was well honorcd at the democratic state convention Tn Hartford yesterday. The election of three local dcm' oerats to places in the national delegation was merited. Waterbury has had demo. cratic reputation for SO long d period, while other sections of the state were wavering between the two major parties that it was only fitting 10 honor us with three places in the delegation of thity.lour. As the pres cnt mayor of this city, Frank Hayes will be included among the ten district delegates who will have a full vote apiece at the na. iional convention. Mayor Hayes deserves a high place in the making of such important decisions as the party will be called tVon and his selection is 10 be commended.
 Controller Lcary and former Mayor Thoms constitute this eitys other delegates to Chicago. Both rank high in local and state party circles. Together with Mayer Hayes they should constitute trio of lead. CTS whose opinions will be sought and re. speeted when secured at the coming sessions of the national party Waterbury fared ex. ccptionally well at tic hands of the state party this year. despite reported indffcrenecs dn state leaders parts. Important commit. tee posts were assigned to many of the local delegates to the state convention. There was universal satisfaction when it was an- nouneed that Mayor Hayes had won one of the contested district delegates seats in the fifth congressional district.
 for years this city has elamored for q place in the sun SO far as state recognition was concerned. And for years our requests were either ignored Of turned aside with some excuse. That attitude has apparently been dropped in the last few years. It natur. ally should. We still believe that Waterbury is the leading democratic city in the state. It maintains is record consistently and with little attempt at osentstion or bar of trumpcts If good things are beginning 10 come ouT way there is no real reason why we should change our methods Of procedure

WEDNESDAY, MAY IS, 1882
And Now The Fun Begins

Leaving the choice of a new national committeeman to Governor Wilbur L. Cross the state democratic convention at Hartford yesterday ended much more peaeeably than republican critics preferred to have it. It has been freely circulated in the state that the democrats. flushed by their gubernatorial victory of lo30. were kicking the props out from under them by faetional fight. With Governor Cross now holding the reins just as he did in lo30 before he was elected we arc afraid that good many republicans are doomed to bitter disappointment They will have to make fight for it this fall after all.
 The decision of the convention to allow Governor Cross 10 suggest the new national committeeman. to our way of thinking means the elimination of both the present incumbent, Archibald MeNeil of Bridge. port and David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven. We feel confident that the governor will avoid the pitfalls that now might at. tend the appointment of New Haven's ex. mayor to succeed Mir MeNci or the latter's retention in the post to which he went two years back when Governor Cross called for sweeping changes in the state democratic or- ganizaton. To our way of thinking the governor is still in control of tho situation and will continue to exercise his own judg. ment.
 Tn instrueting the Connecticut delegates to the national convention to vote for AL fred E. Smith until he frees them to vote fer some other candidate the democrats of Connecticut subscribed to public opinion in this state. Despite the fact that Governor Roosevelt is and has been actively in the race for the nomination next month the party owes debt of gratitude to Mir Smith He is entitled to the democratic partys sup port until he willingly goes to the sdclines where he will become a spectator and not participant, He was badly treated by dem. aerats in many parts of the nation four years ago. but that does not necessarily lessen our respects for him. Connecticut would be treating hin, shabbily if she abandoned his support at this point in his career
 Now that the democrats have shown the statc their wares we rather anticipate the approaching sessions of the republican party It will be interesting to note just what at- ,itudc they will strike in the face of what they like to term democratic faetionalism' Of course. there won't be much excitement at the s.o,p. convention 10 elect delegates to the national convention. That is pretty much a eut.and dried affair with Chairman J. Henry Rorabaek dietatins all the way from beginning to end But when it comes time to pick the slate that is to give Cover nor Cross his eome.uppanee that's when the fun will begin. Two years ago the republicans bclittlcd the candidacy of Gov. ernor Cross We wonder if they won't change their stance this year. But that is beside the question The democrats have ,hrcshcd out one problem. Let's proceed to the next.

Rheumatic Dinosaur

Remember the advertisement a few years ago which pictured a giraffe that had ton- silitis the full length of his prolonged throat' That is brought to mind again by the statement of the American Commit tee for the Control of Rheumatism to the effect that the dinosaur and dplodoeus sui. iercd from arhritis away back in their pro. historic era. It has been proved to the sat. isiaetion of contemporary doctors by d study of the bones of those creatures dis. covered in recent years. Rheumatism was one Of mans earliest ailments, too. Fossil human bones have revealed the fact.
 Dinosaur and diplodoeus have long since disappeared from the face of the earth, but rheumatism is with us still. Today, the authorities tell us, it is twice as prevalent as heart disease. In all European and North American countries, says the rheumatism control committee, it is "thc most import ant economic problem which chronic disease presents. The doctors arc giving it plenty of attention. They have learned the rela- ton between focal infections and rhcuna- tism and are getting rid of the former in their war on the latter. The dinosaur could not do anything about his rheumatism and other troubles. We believe how that man can and will do good deal.

FREE, YET AT A PRICE
(Hartford Tlmes)

Kansas has had n free textbook law on It's statutes for thirty.five years. On one or two occasions graft almost disrupted the plan. but, the state superintendent of public instruction Is satisfied that the law is again working satisfac. !. torily and is providing school books 20 to 30 per cent cheaper than if purchased from publishers. Since 1915 the state has maintain cd It's own printing plant and there are now fully forty titles on It's frec textbook list.
 The officials points out that sue. cessful operation of this plan de- ponds upon two considerations; the selection of texts, whether oId or new copy Is used, must be made for quality only and the edition must be large to Insure low price. These two aspects really go to- gether, for if educational leaders in local communities are dissatis- fled with the contents Of the states text books they are not likely to recommend them to their local school boards and initial orders will not be forthcoming.
 The proposition would seem to lack fiexibiiity. Very great author ity Is placed in those officials who select tho texts. Tn the course of time e fixed list exists, forms may be retained ors reprints at low price, and local commlnities can either take or leave what is offered. Once the city and town school boards become customers of the stdfe's printing plant they can break away only at considerable cost. The result may easily be that economy becomes almost the sole consid q eration in the selection Of school books for the children.

A TYPHOID CARRIER THROWS HER
 WEIGHT ABOUT
Our eastern reader writes:

Our eastern reader writes;
 It has been my privilege for the last i've years to live neighbor to l woman who is listed by the health department as typhoid carrier Her husband died from the disease ana sixteen cases have been traced to her. TWO years ago she took b0arders but the health authorities reauired her to cease Now she Is operating n lodging house for tourists, At the present time the celebrated radlO feature troupe lnever
 mind names) are staying there whiie broaa a' casting from c local station and appearing Tn nearby theaters. All last summer auto tourists from all parts of the country were guests and the typhoid carrier generally served breaktas' to her guests.
 Tho town has no sewage system and the drain from tho lodging house empties Into an old well n hundred yards away and when this becomes filled the drainage empties on top or the ground. In the town sewage Is disposed or by means of septic tanks.
 The woman owns q farm which she is not allowed to operate, besides several other pieces of real estate, so there is no dire need of her taking tourists or otherwise exposing the travelling public to the risk of typhoid in- focton. The local townspeople arc well aware of the conditions and will not allow her to pre- pare or handle any food for church suppers or other public entertainments. but Innocent people come and go at their own peril .. Tho health officer Tn this town IS over so
 A year or more ago q minister died here or typhoid fever, and the source of his infection was not traced. Why not from this known car rier. who goes Into markets and handles tho food there exposed for sale, as well as the produce on huckstcrs carts?
 am not writing this as a complaint, but to apprise you of the facts so that you may give mo sound advice. Of course am chiefly inter- ested in protecting my own health and the health pf my family.
 For Instance, do we run any risk In taking occasional meals in a restaurant to which this
 known typhoid carrier hns access? Is there any particular prccaution we can take In case we arc thrown Into involuntary contact with the carrier?
 would not wish to have my namo used, but am signing 1t nevertheless. (End of tho cor- respondents letter)
 So much for the known carrier. Then, too, thoro are probably many carriers who are not as yet detected. Any one who has once hnd typhoid fever may continue to give off the typhoid bnclli for many years afterward, d. though himself fully recovered from tho ilI- ness. It seems that in Il small share or cases the germs lodge permanently in some focus of
 Infection such as tho gall-sac and arc given off
 constantly or intermittently through tho bilc duct ana the intestine.
 If tho correspondent gives an accurate dcs
 crIpti0n of the case, 1t seems obvious that the state and municipal health authorities are neg
 ligent In protecting the public from the risk
 of infection from this carrier
 Under tho circumstances probably the safest course for the correspondent and her family Is

Sunday is the l50th anniversary of the day on which George Washington refused to become king of this country. The United States George Washington Beentennial Commission recalls this little remembered incident in his life and our history. Although Cornwallis had surrendered and the War of the Revolution was virtually ended Wash ington was keeping his army intact lest the British might try some surprise move. He was eneamped at Newburgh, N, r., when Colonel Lewis Nicola, a close friend of the generals acted as spokesman for tt, entire staff and requested Washington that be place himself immediately at the head of the government of the country. With the army behind him he could easily have proclaimed himself king and established a monarchy. But Washington was deeply grieved by the suggestion. Nothing could have been fur ther from his thoughts In part he replied, Let me eonjure you, then, if you have any regard for your Country, concern for yourself or posterity or respect for me, 10 banish these thoughts from your mind and never communicate, as from yourself or any one else. a sentiment of the like nature. .' Perhaps there are more outstanding cxpres- sions of patriotism in existence, but that of Washngtons delivered under such trying times reveals all the more the noble char. aetcr that was his.

Tierney of Greenwich may seem like vis- ionary project to most people. but it will bear considerable scrutiny. There is plenty to recommend it to the country as worth while sndeavor. We admit we don't in- cline towards the plan of relieving unem- ployment by highway construction projects. but this scheme is SO magnificent and so awe-inspiring as to command ones respect. Briefly it calls for l5,000 miles of roads through 43 of our states. They would be 200 feet wide with 10 lanes Of eourss the scheme involves tolls until they are paid for. 1t may be allied to the New York-boston express toll road, but on a bigger scale.
