AND INSPECTION BY
 ROGERS, POST
Nothing Definite Concern ing When Takeof to
 Interior to Occur

Wiley Post and Joe Crosson are today inspecting the plane flown north from Seattle and Will Rog- CTS is shopping.
 We have no schedule and no plans said Will Rogers this morn ling, but right now we are trying to figure out way to see Chil- koot Pass and White Pass We have no plans Wiley Post said, we will go somewhere when we get around to it. We may leave any time"
 Post had breakfast with Joe Crosson at the Gastineau Cafe at 9 o'clock and after accompanying Rogers to Sabin's Clothing Store, where Rogers accumulated ward robe of waterproof clothing, the two aviators went to the PAA float to check the Lockheed plane flown by Post.
 Must Be Raining
 At the clothing store Post asked Rogers why he bought two com plete sets of rubber garments.
 That's because I am going some where else Rogers replied. "If| I was going to stay in Juneau, I would buy three sets"
 Rogers requested an oversize pair of trousers because, If there is as much fish in Alaska as I hear there is. I'll gain couple of inches around the waist
 Rogers profferea check in pay ment for the clothing and when asked if it was rubber check. he replied: Well, that's what I'm paying for so if its rubber we'll be even"
 No Radio Telephone
 Rogers was informed that theI man in charge of the radio station thought that hook-up of radio and telephone could be arranged so that Rogers might talk to his wife in California, and that at any rate he could talk to Seattle all he wanted to, Rogers said: q can't think of anything to say. I talked to Seattle all I wanted to yester- day" Rogers bought a sou'wester" rain hat because, he said, he wants tol save the brown felt hat he wore from Seattle to make a good im- pression on Fairbanks and Nome. He was disappointed to learn that there was no salmon packing plant in Juneau. He said he thought they had fish canneries everywhere in Alaska.
 Has Escort After completing the purchase of his new rainproof equipment Rogers was escorted on a tour of the downtown district by Simpso MacKinnon. R. D. Baker, Alaska SubStation Manager Of the Stand- ard Oil Company, and John L. Gordon, General Sales Manager of the Standard oil Company for the North Pacific Coast.
 Buys Chilli
 Rogers stopped at the Piggly Wiggly store to order some canned chili put aboard the plane, then went to the Goldstein Fur Store where he displayed considerable in- terest in the fur industry. Charles Goldstein exhibited various types of furs, native relics, and other items of interest.
 Post stated this morning that the plane he is using on this flight is combination of a Lockheed Orion and Lockheed Syrius, with a Wasp motor and comfortable pitch propeller. He said that 1t

Goodbye, Potato

Everybody liked potatoes. If you knew
a man who didn't eat potatoes you thought
him crazy How delicious they were, hot
and flaky from the bake oven, or fried to
a brown tenderness. French fries, Ameri-
can fries, fried news, creamed news, escal-
loped, boiled, riced-many ways. They
were good. And cheap! Nearly anyone
could have potatoes. They became known
as the workingman's meat. Millions of men
who dug in the ground and did the hard
work to amass millions for some rich old
fossil and his hare-brained kids at least
could fill his belly with Irish spuds.
Think of that in the past tense. To hold
their profits the exploiters need the des-
truction of the potato. It's long story,
too long for this short editorial, but the eX-
ploiters find it necessary to cut down the
supply of the lowly spud. We see a like
case in Germany where the exploiters, US
ing the Fascist Hitler, have found it neceS-
sary to keep lemons from the German peo-
pie. They are to use rhubarb instead, if
you can see any connection. Roosevelt and
Wallace, by the way, have not bothered to
mention anything to take the place OF pota-
toes. You might try ragweed.
Anyhow, it is necessary to get rid of a
large share of potatoes. People are hungry,
so it must mean there are too many pOta-
toes. Thus our smart Mr. Wallace sets out
to repeat his pork performance. By des-
troying half the pork supply he was able
to create the myth of higher prices. You
have higher price, but nothing to sell.
Meanwhile, the people turn to substitutes
from which they are not likely to turn back.
So Mr.. Wallace will set out to destroy the
potato crop.
Hence, though we would rather say good
bye to Mr.. Wallace, it appears that we will
have to say goodbye to the potato Farm
