Il once heard of a man who said
that his principal possessions in this
world were an appetite and a
mother-in-law. and that he had
never been able to satisfy either.
81 have frequently heard it said
of sad and subdued-looking men. as
| have passed along in life, that
they were suffering with bad case
of mother-in-law. All this abuse
and all these vicious attacks on the
mothers of our wives are mean and
contemplate, and a direct ref;ecuon
upon our wives themselves. The
sweetest and purest and best woman
l ever saw. except my mother and
my wife. is my mother-in-law Her
life has been a sacrifice 70 the COM
fort and happiness of her children,
and so it is with most mothers in
law. In nine cases out of ten it
could be appropriately and truth

from a bad case of son-in-law

MOTHER-IN-LAW DAY

The Sentinel this week received
a form letter from the secretary of
The Mother-in-Law Day Club of
Texas. expressing gratitude for edi-
torial comment and news stories
carried concerning the observation
of the First Mother-in-Law Day on
March 5. 1884, in Amarillo, Texas.
The club is most anxious to get
clubs started in other cities so that
the day may be made national
event as quickly as possible. The
Sentinel was asked to suggest the
names of two or three mothers-in
law who would be interested in or
ganizing such a club in Wrangell.
We believe that few Wrangell
women would be interested in form
ing another organization of any ma
ture, but it is entirely within the
province of the Women's Civic Club
to observe, through special commit
tee effort, Mother-in-Law Day
next year, if enough women are in
terested.
The movement started in Amaril
10, Texas. last year, as the result of
the editor of the Amarillo News
Globes deciding to have a special
Mother-in-Law Day in his home
after he found that he had hurt the
feelings of his mother-inlaw, whom
he dearly loved. and made her cry.
Neighbors took up the idea and de-
cided to make it community af
fair in recognition of all mothers
in-law. They had a band, a parade
and speeches and a great time.
Greetings poured in from persons of
national Importance. One of the first
to extend her best wishes upon
learning of the movement was Mrs.
Sara Delano Roosevelt. mother OF
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the nations most distinguished
mother-inlaw.
Editors of newspapers, big and
little, and writers galore seized the
opportunity to express appreciation
of their own mother-in-law and of
such mothers in general. Bob Taz'
lor, famous Tennessee orator, wrote
a notable tribute, excerpts of which
follow:
81 have always had great charity
for the mistakes of Adam, because
he had no mother-in-law to curb
him If she had been there the for
hidden fruit would not have been
eaten. All the world would now be
paradise; the women would still be
dressing in sunshine, and the men
would still be clad in climate. All
the ills we now endure are the
fruits of sin; all sin is the out
growth of the first transgression,
and the first transgression was COM
mitted because there was no
mother-in-law in Eden to forbid it.
Satan would have kept his distance
If Adam had been a son-in-law; and
even after man had fallen, the
Lord saw that he was prone to fall
still lower, and so he provided the
third person, singular, and named
her "mother-in-law," to be his
guardian angel and watch him day
and night. But it has been the habit
of malicious men from time immem-
orial to speak unexpectedly of the
dear old specialized angels and to re-
fer to them as the embodiment of

Sea lions which infest Alaska
waters and destroy great quantities
of food fish ought to take warning
from recent developments and mi
CRATE to happier hunting grounds.
The long arm of the law, which has
been a protecting cloak around
them, may be abruptly removed. A
favorable committee report has been
occurred for Delegate Dimond's bill
to remove sea lions from the protect
ed list. Such legislation has the ap-
proval of the Bureau of Fisheries.
1t is agreed that sea lions take an
enormous toll of fish, and the pur-
poses of conservation will be well
served by their thinning out. The
Province of British Columbia has
long treated them as a common pest.

The poor convicts law" will be

introduced by Delegate Dimond is
approved.

imposed. the prisoner can, after
serving 80 days beyond the expira-
ton of his sentence, declare him
self a pauper and if he can prove
this at a hearing he is released

would have that section of law ap-

Hearings on the home rule bill
to transfer to the Territorial gov
eminent Jurisdiction over the fish
cries of Alaska have been concluded
before the House committee on mer-
chant marine, radio and fisheries.
They were volumninous and COM
plete and gave Delegate Dimond full
opportunity to present the facts he
contends are sufficient to warrant
giving control of this valuable re-
source to the people of Alaska. Mr..
Dimond's argument in behalf of his
of local government entities Alaska
bill was along three main lines,
l. The traditional American idea
to have charge directly of its most
valuable industry. In this regard. it
was brought out that no Other ter
ritory in the history of this country
has been denied to legislate with
respect to fish and fur. and to have
complete control Of those resources.
2. The people of Alaska do not
lack ability and intelligence to adj
minister the fisheries. On the con-
trary, they are qualified by famili-
arity and experience TO do so much
more competently than can a bu-
reau the headquarters of which are
thousands of miles distant. A re-
view of the taxing power exercised
in the past by the Territorial legis-
iature gives conclusive evidence
that the legislature has not attempt
ed to tax operators out of existence,
and the performance of the past
may reasonably be counted upon as
the promise of the future
3. The amount now expended an
nually by the Bureau of Fisheries is
not the amount the Territorv void
have to expend to obtain enforce
ment of whatever regulations might
be adopted. In the opinion of the
Delegate, the annual cost of ad-
ministration could be reduced to as
little as $4,000 by promu - ton
of regulations which would at once
be easier to enforce and at the same
time serve to conserve to the great

REDUCED SUPPLY
or WOOL FORESEEN
Fewer Lamb Chops Likely
Also as Result of U. S.
SIaughtering.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August l6.-Fewer
lamb chops. less wool and slightly
larger feed supplies for sheep next
Winter will be the net results Of the
Governments slaughter Of 100000
sheep in Western drought States.
This program is dictated by the
prospective shortage of grain and
hay crops and by the condition Of
ranges. Summer ranges are at their
lowest condition in more than six
years and Winner ranges are unprom-
iSing.
Sheep were placed last on the
drought relief purchasing program.
for. unlike cattle, they can find water
in many plants and, If properly
handled on ranges, they only have
to be watereo every other day.
Slaughter of sheep in the first six
months of this year aggregated 7,475,-
23l. a drop of 924,l86 from the cor
responding period of 1888 and the
smallest total for any similar period
since 1929.
This country has been eating less
lamb and mutton, partly because Of
the plentiful supply and lower prices
Of beef and pork. Domestic meat
consumption last year totaled H.
$50 100000 pounds, a gain of Gill;
900 900 over 1882. Lamb and mutton
accounted for only 672,000,000 pounds,
or 100000 pounds less than in 1882.
The average price paid for lambs
last year was only S4.70 q hundred
weight, against $6.621a in 1892. And
lamb prices, rather than wool quo
tations, determine the size of flocks,
though both are factors in sheep
production. On the average farmers
get three times as much for lambs
as they receive for the wool from
sheep.
Lamb prices, high feed costs, poor
pasturage and the difficulties Of
financing fiocks last year discouraged
sheep production. which. of course,
was also reduced by the severity Of
the Winter, exceedingly cold Spring
rains and the large numbers of old
ewes in the hocks.

HOG PRICES SOAR
FURTHER TO $3.50
New Chicago Peak Nearly
Double Years Lows
on Market.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August l6.-Hog prices
shot up to a practical top Of $3.50
today, establishing 1894 peak that
is about double the years low point.
The demand for swine Of all grades
was just as strong as it has been all
week, despite the accumulated weight
Of prices. Transactions at $500 to
$40 for better grade 220 to 300
pound butchers showed an upturn Of
30 to 40 cents.
The early peak figure was exactly
81 higher than a week ago and with
the packers processing tax Of $2.25
added the live cost was the highest
since December, 1880. The open mar
ket top has not been duplicated here
since early In September, 1881, and
the average cost Of around $3.50 goes
back IS months for an equal figure.
Contraction of receipts played the
principal part in the market buoyancy.
Local arrivals of $4,000 included 5000
shipped direct to packers. and fell
2,000 below the modest advance esti-
mate. Seven leading markets showed
a decrease of $4,000 hogs in receipts
as compared with last Thursday s
limited supply. Prices at all points
were higher, as much as IS cents at
some markets.
