Origin Of Domoatic Dog
Mystery, Authority Says

Coaked In mystery II origin OF the
domestic dog. Those who question the
genesis at all are likely to accept the
belief that the wolf was the common
ancestor of all breeds, but there Is
much evidence to upset this theory. AZ
serts P. r. Ricketts,. In the Detroit
News
Dogs may be divided into two types
the wolf uupine) group which has
erect ears and hunts BY sight, and the
hound (salukl) group which has drop
ears and follows Its prey by scent. It
ID hard to believe that this latter group
descended from 4 wolf, because its
type. temperament and general confor-
nation forbid It.
Also, there Is earlier evidence Of the
existence Of the hound (saluki) type
than OF the wolf (lupIne) group. Gu
neiform inscriptions and bas-rellefs OF
remote years show salukls strlklngly
like the modern Whippet. In these
same protrayals. strong dog. similar
to the British Mastiff, Is shown This
brings up the question of third type.
1t becomes necessary, then, to search
for more remote ancestor than either
the wolf or saluki. Far back In pre-
historic times, dog must have existed
which was the tap root of the whole
genus canls," although no direct evf-
dence has been found to bear out the
theory.
Until such time as naturalists dis
cover the connecting link between the
lupine and saluki types, we must be
content to let our fancles play with
the possibility OF common ancestor
for all domestic dogs.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH.

There is apparent contradiction In the
claim that agricultural research work
should continue in these days when
farmers are urged to produce less in
order. to receive more. Unthinking ones
decry the cost of expensive experiment
tation and the channels through which
the results of agricultural research may
be brought back to the farmer for his
profit
1t is this ever-occurring effort to
limit scientific agricultural research
that forms one of the greatest dangers
to agricultural progress. The claim is
made that we have already discovered
more scientific facts than our farmers
use, SO why continue spending money
in developing new information And it
is surprising that many supposed lead
ers in this industry are among the
compliments.
Other industries do not rest on their
oars, even when SURPRISES are piled in
warehouses There is a continuous
seeking after new methods: new ex-
Fermentation is going on in labora-
tories, and cost analysis is the concern
of every executive.
1t is just as reasonable to conclude I
that medical science having discovered
many facts about how to promote
health and prolong life, should let up
on research and take holiday until the
human race catches up
Research in the interest of better
farming and better farm life provides
the promise Of our agricultural future,
therefore it ought to continue. The
work should not only 60 on, but in
carrying the results to the farmer, the
truths revealed should be welcomed
and applied to individual needs.
Those who throw stumbling blocks
in the path of agricultural research
work, should somehow be brought to
understand both the folly and the dan
ger OF their doctrines. Even though the
farmer is asked to. cooperate in reduc-
ton programs in order to reduce exist
ing SURPRISES and thus increase price.
any means that will make the remain
ing production easier should be en-

JEFFERSON'S GREAT DREAM.

The more closely you scan the trend
of affairs in the United States over the
past century, the more you must be of
the opinion that the. present era is the
forerunner of a great transition in our
theme of government, This nation was
founded, and Thomas Jefferson visioned
it as such, on the theory that the aver
age man would own his own land, and
also that a majority of the population
would remain in agricultural centers.
But this dream of Jefferson's has not
materialized; most people work for
others, and they do not depend upon
their own land for sustenance. The re-
suit is that we now have generation
of voters, the majority of whom are
products of city industry; they do not
know the feel of an ak as it clears farm
land in a forest; they do not thrill to
the turn Of furrow as they SOW crops
they have no recollection of the beat
of wind and rain and snow and sleet
upon their bodies as winter tried to
drive them from the conquest of Ma
lures elemental environment.
The net result of all this reveals a
majority of American citizens unable to
appreciate the priceless heritage of free
privileges; the resulting
citizen apathy and disinterest therefore
leave the way Of government open to
the demagogue, the predatory and mer-
cenary politician; and unless human
beings reform, you can figure out for
yourself how and when some form of
state piracy and dictatorship will even
ually become sovereign in our beloved
America. Eccentric, Birmingham,

FARMERS GET VERY LITTLE.

In 1929 the consumers of this country
paid something like $4,000 100000 for
the products of American farms, ac-
cording to DIR. Frederick c. Howe, con-
sumers' counsel for the AAA.
How much of this did the farmer get?
How much of it did those who pro-
cessed and handled it get? The answer
is revealing.
The farmer, according to the same
authority, got seven billion and the in
dustries wedged between him and the
consumer got the other twelve. That
the division is all wrong is the convic-
ton of many economic experts, who
believe that under proper control some
of the twelve billions can be divided
between the consumer and the farmer,
to the profit of the country.--The News,

committees are to be congratulated on
their accomplishments In this construc-
tive work toward Fastening the return

The settlement of these cases has
meant that the farm indebtedness of
this state has been reduced approxi-
mately $500, 900 with over 1000 hav-

otherwise would have remained as
frozen assets and would have, in that
frozen condition, prevented the rees-
tablishing of that much new purchasing
power to the various communities Of
the state The satisfactory settlement of
these cases has made it possible for
many farmers who were ip danger Of
tossing their farm, to hold on to their
property and has provided sound
basis upon which these same farmers
can work out of their difficulties, as
we'll as making the thousands Of dol
lars available for new business in the
state.
Fifteen per ecent of the cases settled
were by agreements with the present
creditors, no refinancing involved, in

The function Of the county farm debt
advisory committees is to handle the
cases of excessive farm Indebtedness,
by attempting through friendly and
fair means to work out some satistac-

his creditors without resorting to fore
closure and loss of property to worthy
farmers Of the respective counties, IN
the large majority Of the cases settled
by the county committees it has meant
the saving Of farm property from such

both the debtor and the creditor as

that the Lincoln County Farm Debt

The Forgotten Man of English Letters.
CNew York Herald Tribune.l )

For years it was the fashion to disparage Rud- yard Kiplings work. and for more he went virtually without mention except when it was remarked now swiftly his fame had declined Then even this banal comment ceased to be made about him and some one cherished him the forgotten man of English letters It was rumored that his name would appear on the Kings honor list for the Jubilee, but Kip ings back luck with ubilees held for this one also No amends made for the royal neglect popu- larly supposed to have been inspired long ago by his lines
 Have you heard of the Widow of Windsor,
 With the golden her head?'
 Nothing could atone for this indscreticn it was commonly believed. Not even the magnificent Re cessonal" written for Victorias Jubilee which was by no means the first occasional poem written by Kipng to celebrate event of the great Queens long reign Kiplings first production, in fact was an Ave Imperatrx an ode to Victoria the occasion of an attempted assassination, written when he was seventeen.
 This precocty the first of a long list Of them that made Kipling famous by the time he was twenty-five His Plain Tales from the Hills" was written before he had reached his majority. All his novels of life in India had been published in book form before he was twenty-three. By the time he entered the thrties he had become the unofficial herald, if not the laureate, of the British Empire. It in 1896 that Lord Cromer, in com panv with Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson at Cairo, gave him the imperaliss accolade with his equvocal compliment, Cheeky beggar!"
 Reaction has been equal to action, and this brilliant early fame has long been unduly obscured It is long ago now that the dilettanu began to raise their noses and dismiss Kipling with the cruel faint praise "A very clever journalism There were many to dismiss Mark Twain in his lifetime Tor similar reasons He wrote so easily and so popu- larly that none of his work could be meant for the ages What Kipling says of Mark Twain, in ac- cepting the honorary chairmanship of the Mark Twain centennial in England some would say, omit int mind he was the largest of his time, both ln the direct outcome of his work and more important still as an indirect force in age of iron Phil istinism. Later generations don't know their debt, of course, and they would be quite surprised if they did"

Travel says a report of the Department Of Commerce, has reached proportions comparable to that of 1929 and 30 and Alaska is one of the outstanding bright spots in tourist activities and possibilities.
 Even in lean years we were a travelling people. Despite diversity some of us were always able to scrap together a little money for transportation, Nomads that great many of us are. But there is more than just 8 confirmation in the report of the department It demonstrates pretty clearly that more people have more money to travel more places and see more things. It means that if we are back near to the '29 level business is whole lot better in all lines than most of us have suspected. And for Alaska it means the dawn of tourist business that should be unrivaled anywhere Interviews with various persons who have passed through Juneau this season indicate thas not only the States but the entire world is Alaska conscious. Like Hawaii has become the tourist mecca during the winter, Alaska is rapidly becoming the star attraction for the summer months Globe trotters who pass through here frequently declare there are few places on the map which have the attractions and natural drawing power that has our northern wonderland
 We can well afford to keep pushing our tourist business just as diligently as we work in behalf Of promoting our industrial resources.

Flight of the Wild Goose.
Cincinnati Enquirer0


 "The wild goose" said Thoreau, breakfasts in Canada takes luncheon in the Ohio and plumes himself for the night in Southern bayou" This, however is not his daily practice, for he does this particular thing only in the late fall.
 At present the wild goose is in the Far North attending strictly to his domestic duties, raising a family of goslings. He will teach his children to fly and in some strange way will tell them they presently must follow him on the long journey which Thoreau so dramatically describes In October we may see the wild geese flying far overhead or may sometimes hear their hoarse honking.
 But we see in the skies what Thoreau could not imagine We see men flying. They, too can breakfast in Canada stop in Cincinnati for luncheon and go on to find a lodging for the night in NeV Orleans When Thoreaus wrote. he had in mind the limitations of man. The wild goose could do what man could not do
 The settlers of Cincinnati, who took two months of aborous journeying to reach here from the East, never dreamed that some day we could cover by railroad that ground in seventeen hours. and now that we have the airplane we do it in three or four hours.
 Nature remains unchanged. The flowers and trees the birds and the beasts, of which Thoreau write are the same. But is forever conquering new worlds: the earth the sky, and the water invited him to and greater things. Man has even duplicated the flight of the wild goose. And that to Thoreau a marvel.

FISHING LOOKS UP.

Despite adverse reports from some districts to the Westward indications are that the salmon pack this season especially in the Southeast district is going to be substantial. Figures thus far to the Bureau of Fisheries reveal that in the six South east districts 2S9823 cases have been packed as against 196981 last year up to the same time It is probable that the total for Alaskan waters will from three and half to four million cases e fishing authorities have estimated
 II is mighty good news that is bound to stimulate Luaincss throughout the Territory and give those dependent on fishing fer livelihood an income to carry them through the winter. In comparison with some of the drouth and storm-ridden sections of the Middle West it is true example of the bountfu life. The harvest may not be great as it was last season, but it is a harvest at least, and that is something those inhabitants of the dust-swept plains of the Dakotas and elsewhere would give fortune to have.
