HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY NEED
AIDS REFRIGERATOR SALES

During period when more families
had to economic than ever before in
the history of the nation, sales of
electric refrigerators reached a new
high level.
Explaining this apparent paradox
home economists point out that re-
duced budgets have emphasized the
Importance of savings brought about
by proper refrigeration. When every
dollar has to give a full account of
itself, housewives are prompt to take
businesslike steps to eliminate waste
of food through spoilage.
Butter, eggs, milk, meat and vege-
tables, all basic food items that spoil
quickly in warm weather, are kept
fresh and tasty in an electric refrig-
orator until entirely used.
Food thrown out because it spoils
before it can be used represents
money wasted. To avoid such waste,
thrifty housewives have turned in in
creasing numbers to the electric re-
frigerator.
Economies effected through pur-
chase of perishable foodstuffs in
quantity have also been applied to-
ward payment for modern refrigera-
tors.

ROMANCE SEEN IN USE
OF FLOUR THRU AGES
By Edward Barras, Centennial Flour
ing Mills Co.

Did it ever occur to you that al
most every dish prepared for food
has flour in it or about it somewhere,
and that to the average person look
ing at flour it is only a sack of flour ?
But of all the commodities we have
today, there is nothing which has as
much romance woven into it as flour.
Everything we have today has ro-
nance woven into it. We have the ro-
nance of steel, the romance of oil,
the romance of the railroads, but they
are all superficial when we take the
romance of flour into consideration.
just close your eyes for one instant.
Let's step back into the dim shadows
of the past-way back when Adam
and Eve were cast from the Garden
of Eden to work out their destiny.
Think of the romance of that pair as
they gathered the seeds and the grains
and ground and pounded them be-
tween the stones and so prepared a
food that they could dry or bake in
the sun.
Think of the romance of the great
graineries of Babylon, which fed mil
lions. Think of the romance of Joseph
and his brothers when they appealed
to him for grain to save their hungry
families. Think Of the romance of
the Israelites, while travelling through
the wilderness when the mamma fell
from the heavens to succor those

What is the matter? | didn't see
anything in the paper last week about
the library fund. Have you given it
up already? You must have had a
touch of the sun to attempt to stand
sponsor for such meritorious idea
as that! Don't you know the Ameri-
can people will not support the good
institutions they already have, but fly
to spend their time, money, energy
and ambition upon some new untried
thing? If you had to make a noise
about something, why not dog racing,
or the new imaginary glass factory,
or sun bathing, or the nudist colony ?
still think you got your self in
the ''big hole" with the thing already.
As see it your business it so sell adj
vertising and as soon as your sup
porters become convinced that your
paper isn't a competent advertising
medium you will be in the bread line
with the rest of us or in the straw
berry field with your wife, either of
which will be bad for you. And eleven
dollars in cash from a possible five
hundred prospects isn't very good
showing. Better dig into the old
savings account and print few fic-
ticious names.
Tell them if all books which have
been read from the library in the last
ten years were bought and paid for at
publishers prices the amount would
equal or exceed the bonded Indebted
ness of the district, city and county.
Tell them anything, but get their
money and keep the library open.
Some one said the library was to be
supported by the license money from
the beer parlors. Wouldn't that be
fine? The library is by far the best
thing we have in town and the beer
parlors are the worst. How long must
vice be called upon to pay the ex-
penses of virtue?
Well we wake up and have can
merry? isn't that fine. 1t reminds me
of the steam engine the fellow built
and put on such a big whistle that
every time he blew the whistle he had
to stop the engine until he got steam
up. Far be it from me to kick about
everything the wise men try to do to
uplift US poor farmers, but if you give
the matter serious thought you know
we can't run this country upon can
merry prices and the cannery can't live
upon our left overs alone and our peo-
pie can't live on cannery wages.

TO SEE NEW STARS

Millions of new stars will be brought within the range of mans vision through a new telescope, four times as power full as any now in existence, to be built for the California Ins- titute of Technology with funds furnished by the International Education Board. It will be located on a high California mountain to be selected later.
 The present worlds largest telescope is the 100-inch re- Hector on Mt. Wilson, Calf. The new telescope will have a 200-inch reflector of fused quartz, which will present a more nearly perfect surface than glass. The General Elec- tric Company has undertaken to build it, with the cooperation of Dr. Robert A. Millikan and other leading physicists.
 When it is considered that the present largest telescopes are able to explore the universe to a distance of 100 million light years, the depths to which the new monster reflector may penetrate may be figured, but can not be grasped by the hu- man mind.
 The most startling objects to be revealed will doubtless be connected with nearby heaven ly bodies such as our moon and the planets of our own solar system. The question of wheth- CT life exists on Mars or Venus may possibly be answered.

One hundred and twenty-sev- en old timers of the north were enjoying the hospitality of the Alaska Pioneers Home at Sitka on January 1, according to recent announcement by Super intendent Filler Hansen.
 The list of inmates included only two from this section, Richard Inkster and Fred Nothiger, all others from this section having passed away during the past year or prior thereto. The 38 deaths occurring during 1888 included those of two former Hyderites, Charles Molander and Alex B. Taylor.
 The old pioneers enjoyed wonderful Christmas, MT. Han- sen said. Each received a gift box and S7.25 in cash, the lat ter from contributions of funds made by friends of the old tim CTS in all parts of the Territory. They were also regaled with big turkey dinner with all the "fixins," topped off with a bot tie of beer and a cigar.
