BunneII Boosts Farms

A#GHEEAA A8UlsrAS
 Alaskan agriculture has great future. Dr. Charles 2. Bunnell, pres 5dent Of the University of Alaska at
 s5rbanks, predicted recently in Lin coln. Nebraska. His brief comment on northern agriculture was prompted by questions relating to the federal gov ernment's farm colonization project in the Matanuslza Valley. At pres ent.7 Dr. Buunen said, the problem in Alaska Is to get the people organ ized and interested iu farming. We are 50 worked up in mining that 1t Is hard to realize the agricultural pos abilities of the land. These possiDil- ities are much the same as those in early settlement of the western states. The situation generally for folks Is quite similar respects to the present situation in the States. We in the North have the same motion pictures. There Is every element in the MatanUska Valley for successful farming. but a few seasons will be necessary to stabilize the variable element, which Is the human element.

Shipstead SpoOfing?

Your own and contributing
editorials on the British War
Debt default have disclosed an
intensity Of feeling in this city
that should cause Ronald Lind
say to urge immediate action by
Anthony Eden. Senator Ship
stead's suggestion about selling
British bonds in this country
leads me to believe that the
Senator was spoofing.
England could repudiate the
popular bond as quickly as the
national. The Senator steps
into the trap laid by England's
advocate. in trying to answer
false theories, thus inviting per-
petual debate without payment.
There is only one answer to the
distinguished British econo-
mist" let England send over
her gold in payment Of her
debt. America will assume all
risk attendant upon ownership
of all the gold in the world.
Why befog the simple matter
Of paying a debt by the use of
fallacious theories?
Six gentlemen at dinner the
other night discussing this mat
ter agreed that England had
made a bad name for herself by
her attitude on her obligations.
A lawyer from New Orleans said
'if America hadn't entered the
war, England would be paying
Germany today, ransom money
in excess of her debt to
America"

There's a question that'll set
every Newlywed a-listenin'.
Dear Miss Robinson:
Here's a problem which so
many of my working girl friends
face when they marry. Through
careful saving, they've accumu-
lated a little bank balance.
Should that be used in the new
home? MANY OF THEM BE-
LIEVE 1T SHOULDN'T.
But I disagree. l do not be-
lieve that it is honorable for
either wife or husband to keep
their savings in the bank, when
bills are owing. Even though
the husband is earning a good
salary, it is often hard to meet
the unusual demands of a new
home. I THINK THAT IT IS
AS MUCH UP TO THE WIFE
TO DONATE HER SAVINGS
AS 1T IS TO THE MAN.
MRS. W. L. WECH-age 90,

(x10 ToTize uyiY1reT)
And I agree with you 100 per
cent, my dear. It seems to me
that the average young wife's
attitude toward such matters is
far from sportsmanlike. There
are many exceptions-generous,
gallant girls who are real part
ners. But, unfortunately, there
are all too many who still be-
lieve in the old slogan, WHAT'S
YOURS IS MINE BUT WHAT'S
MINE IS MINE ALONE"

Will Youth Respond?

In the welter Of an impend-

times wonder what would be the
reaction of the youths Of today
should this nation be faced with
the task Of recruiting an armed
force in defense of the flag.
Will the post-World War gen.
Grafton of youngsters, who, Of
course, would be the first to be
called, rally to the defense of
the Stars and Stripes as did the
youngsters of a score Of years
ago.
Uncle Sam experienced little
difficulty in assembling an army
when he inaugurated a punitive
campaign to give chase to Senor
Pancho Villa and his bandit
horde, who were at that time
terrorizing our nationals along
the Rio Grande only to finally
withdraw after the "bad cabal-
lero" was lost in the Hidalgo
hills.
Hardly had that campaign
drawn to a close when many Of
the military units who had
served in the border affair were
on their way to France to gain

military science.

Atlantic coast, ready to stage
their act against the might OF
the Hohenzollern dynasty.
In other words many Of your
Uncle Sans youthful legions Of
World War days bear the dis
tinction of having participated
in two wars under one enlist
ment, this unusual incident sub
sequently occurring after they
signed up for the border cam"
paign in 1916. We might cite in
bringing this thought to the fore
that several regiments from the
Pacific Slope area were de-
toured on their homeward jour"
ney by way Of France after the
signing of the Armistice.
Let us sincerely hope this ma
ton will not be faced with the
problem of setting into motion
such movement as a Pacific
Expeditionary Force for the de-
fense and maintenance Of our
national integrity, but should
the worst come we feel certain
that Americas cause whatever
it might be, will not be found
wanting for lack Of valiants TO
carry on as did our forebears
at Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, San

Traffic Bureau Courtesy
I have seen much in your
newspaper concerning remedlai
measures that would relieve the
congestion on our downtown
streets and I think that it IS
high time some control was ex"
erted within the walls of the
Traffic Bureau Of the District.
I am referring to the red tape
one must unwind before leaving
the portals of Van Duzer's Trsf-
fic Bureau. After hours Of wait
ing one learns the clerk has
neglected to impart some vital
bit of technical information so
that you must consequently get
back in line and wait your turn
patiently. 1t has been my ex-
perience that a visit to the trat-
fic bureau is tantamount 70
wasting of a valuable day-au
for services I have seen per-
formed in q fraction OF the
time consumed here.
AS for the personnel I am
sure that they have much to
learn of common everyday
courtesy. I have never been so
grossly exposed to such arro-
gance and inefficiency as I
have encountered here in the
vehicle department.
