FUR GETS A BOOST

Few actions taken by the last Legislature promise
to bring lasting results to the Territory than
the act which set up fur farm experiment station
site for which is reported to have been selected
south of Petersburg overlooking Wrangell Narrows
Fur is of Alaska's big three-fish, fur and
gold. The total fur in the Territory is valued at
around $93 100000 But aside from the wild fur and
the island fox farms of the Aleutians is estimated
that there about 300 fur farmers in the Territory
with their holdings valued at average of around
$4,000 each. These farms produce in fur somewhere
between $4,000 and 100000 annually small frac-
ton of the total output of fur from Alaska But suf-
ficent to show that fur farming be made to pay
big dividends in the Territory if nourished by Federal
and Territorial aid is being started under the seup
provided by the Legislature.
Experts readily admit that farm-raised fur is
in many instances superior to wild fur Best evil
dence of this is the premium prices that Alaska farm
raised fur has brought the London market 1t is
only natural that the animal which is cared for fed
properly and protected from the elements should
thrive better than his wild brother who must forage
for his existence in the wilderness.
And it is to develop better feeding methods to
combat disease to which the animal like human is
susceptible and to generally improve the quality OF
fur that the experimental station is being established
It's benefit if carried out in the spirit of the act
can be lasting and it is probable that in the years
to come that fur produced from farms in Alaska
will far exceed that taken in the wild state better
methods are adopted and many enter the in
dustry Instead Of three hundred farms, there nc
reason why the Territory should not have 5000 ano

GIVE THE OLD MAN HIS HEAD
ON FATHERS DAY

Not to be outdone by mother, father gets a
break" tomorrow. 1t is Fathers Day. Like most
fathers, have never been able to figure out just
why another day should be aside in addition to
Christmas, when father is called upon to accept
some more of those loud ties. But, of course, that
isn't the way to look at it. Most fathers have caught
on how to make those atrocious ties disappear, or
pass them to Junior so the tie question really is
minor
The original intent of Fathers Day, we suspect,
it honor Father, so as one of the army of bill
payers offer these suggestions:
Don't mention Fathers Day to father at all.
But when he suggests this evening guess I'll take
a little walk down to the club simply reply we're
having little pig sausages for breakfast and hand
him his hat. Don't by all means, suggest that mid
night is a late hour, make some facetious crack
about coming home with the milk man. Just make
some other plans for the evening and let Dad have
his night
When tomorrow morning rolls around don't
point out that it is almost church time. Get ready
and go to church If father wants to go to church
he'll go. If he wants to stay home and putter Let
him putter If he says something about trying out
that new fly rod suggest that it is good day for it,
and, besides you haven't had any fish for a long
time. If he comes home tomorrow night with an
empty basket skip it, Don't tell him what poor
fisherman he is If he says the weather wasn't right
for EN- to bit agree with him, but for heavens sake
don't mention fish, unless you can recall that big
one he caught last year and you bring the subject
up tactfully thus initiating his fishing ego
Don't say lets go to the movie" tomorrow night,
but if Dad says, get your hat mother and let's go
down to the show" Get your hat Don't argue about
what show you want to go to- Trot right along like
good girl.
OF course, it is all right to think up lot of things
to tell him Monday morning. He'll expect it, But just
be the dutiful little wife, daughter tonight and
tomorrow. You'll probably notice CLINT in the
old boys eye Monday morning and he'll buckle into
the harness with renewed vigor figuring he's got
pretty good gang around him after all

A Simple Paradox
Cincinnati Enquirer)

NCluCLIdtl fslluuiIeI1
Many persons are aStonshed at the cooneSS if
not actual hostility shown by leaders of the American
Federation of Labor toward the Presidents scheme
to set maximum working hours and minimum wages
Organized labor they suppose ought to be overwhelm
ingy in favor of any legislation which raises wages
and shortens the hours of labor.
But the paradox is not difficult to understand
The American Federation of Labor includes about
tenth of the wage-earners and saaried persons
of the country For the most part it includes the
most prosperous groups. 1t seeks legislation which
will improve the bargaining power of its members in
their drive for higher wages and shorter hours
But the Presidents proposals something very
different from this. They designed to help the
lowest-p paid and those working the longest hours
very few instances be members of the unions affili-
ated with the A. F. of L.
Carrying this step farther is might actually be
hostile to the immediate interests of most union labor
to have this law enacted. For the law would raise
in the lowest brackets and shorten hours
OF abuse. This would raise costs and therefore prices
without touching the wages of skilled labor to any
extent. Skilled craftsmen would find the cost of lv
ing higher, and their wages the same. They might
find wage increases harder to get because the
unorganized workers enjoyed wage increases.
1t is not for labor unions to oppose social
legislation of this character When Bismarck init
aed his far reaching plan of social insurance and
wage legislation, he bitterly opposed by all the
German trade unions They realized that paternal-
lstlc program for the mass of workers would lessen
their dependence on and interest in labor unions.
While reliance legislation is much greater to-
day. the paradox exists The Wagner Act won
instantaneous support of all organized labor groups
because it plays into their hands 1t strengthens
their bargaining power But designed to
help the least prosperous workers does not the
particular interests of the old conservative unions
made up largely of skilled workers.

cember and at 11:12 am, Juneau time, Monday it
reaches its farthest north point from the celestial
equator which most of us will associate with that
heavy black line going around the earth in all the
geography books of golden school days
Thus up here in Alaska with the sun, despite
Los Angeles boast, have the maximum of sun
shine. Heading south again from that northernmost
point the will reach its most southern point at
922 pm. next December 81, bringing with it the
shortest days of the year. and incidentally, Christ
mas, which is not topic to be mentioned in June

And the moral of this summer sostice which
brings about the longest day is: If you can't

LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR

While there isn't much difference in the actual
amount of possible sunlight from now on until the
end of June, Monday June 81 is officially known as
the longest day of e year Weather observers report
that upon that day there will be in Juneau 10 hours
and II minutes of possible sunshine That means
sunshine if it doesn't rain. They make promise yet
as to the actual sunshine
The sunrise hour Monday will be 2:53 am and it
will set behind the Chkat range at $40 pm Up in
Fairbanks the day there will be 81 hours
and 50 minutes Of possible sunshine. All of which
is explained by the weather experts in this way:

MODERN
ETIQUETTE

@. When some guest makes
faux pas at the table, is it neces-
sary for the hostess to make the
same blunder in order to put the
guest at ease?
A. Never. The hostess should
merely mot see" the blunder. 1T
would be ridiculous for the hostess
to tie her napkin around her neck
or drink out of her fingerbowl Just
because some guest did so.
@. Is it good form for a girl to
go to the railroad station to see
man who is leaving for a lengthy
visit?
A. Not if the acquaintance is
slight. If he is a fiance or a very
close friend, she may do SO with
propriety
@. Is it proper to have the words
Ladies" and Gentlemen" on the

Benefic aspects rule today, ac-
cording to astrology, but adverse as
spects are active after early morn
ing hours.
Under this configuration the
mind should be susceptible to relig-
ious influences and the clergy
should be encouraged in extra eff
forts to aid humanity.
For the Roman Catholic Church
extraordinary events are prognos-
ticated Before the close of the
year strong policies of widest effect
ARE to be promoted, the seers pro-
phesy.
Changes in leadership are prog
ncsticated for more than one prom
inent organization. There will be a
tendency among Protestants of diff
ferent denominations to unite.
This sway is favorable for preach
ers Those who are not enjoying va
cations may expect cordial res
ponse to both the spoken and the
written word.
There is an evil portent read a.
presaging much conflict of opinion
among religionists as well as poll
ticians. Many men and women will
reveal their antagonistic views.
Sudden heat may be expected
through the summer and care should
be exercised to safeguard health
Many sudden deaths are forecast.
Drawings are to be numerous
and loss of life on the high seas is
prophesied. Movements of the navy
will arouse great concern.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of favorable
finances and real progress for all
who work hard or manage their af-
fairs carefully.
Children born on this day proba

u. 5. FARM POLICY
IS HIT BY c. OF c.
Sib|ey Committee Report
Says Solution Is in Mar.
ket Expansion.

Striking. by implication, at the basic
philosophy Of the New Deal farm
policy. a report issued today by the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
insisted that agricultural prosperity
depends primarily on market expan-
sion. rather than on production cur
tailment.
The report was based on a study Of
| the causes governing rise and fall of
farm income made by committee
headed by Harper Sibley Of Rochester,
N. Y, former president Of the chamber,
and himself large farm operator.
The er-normal granary" idea re-
ceived little comment, and that but
indirectly, the committee concerning
itself mainly with a discussion Of
supply and demand. It concluded that
apparently the most that can be done
to maintain farm income in a period
OF general decline In consumer incomes
Is to prevent the total farm income
from declining disproportionately to
that Of other industries"
At another point in its report the
committee stated:
Recognizing the economic necessity
Of maintaining a balance between
supply and demand-between produce
ton and consumption of agricultural
products-the committee insists that
the most important opportunity today
lies In the vigorous stimulation Of
demand at home and abroad, rather
than in the curtailment of supply.
The prosperity Of agriculture de-.
pends primarily on an expanding
industry and upon the reopenins Of
foreign markets. Government can
best serve agriculture by the most
generous encouragement OF private
initiative"
