THE UBIQUITOUS MOSQUITO
Valdez MineD


 Now that the New Deal and the Territorial Legislature has regulat- ed everything that lives, moves. breathes, to be or will be. why not pay a little attention to the increas- ing sWarms Of mosQuitos. Some of the old Sourdoughs lay the increase 10 the tourists. claiming they are more fertile breeding grounds than the oldtime. leathery-necked AL askan. others lay it to the railway management and Secretary of Inter for Ickes. We have seen many tour ists arrive here who were bitten from Maine to Florida. and points west. so ooth diagnoses may be wrong. It may be true that the tour ist provides T-bones and the liner cuts for the mosquito than the chuck steak and brisket the average Alaskan dishes out. but one great fault of the present system is the New Deal waste of meat
 The present day mosquito will fly down. take a piece out of his vie tim. fly up to a limb, cnew on it a time. and then deliberately kick the titbit overheard. the taste being not to suit him. The West coast tourist appears to provide better and tast- fer meat than the East coast. and the Southern tourist is just plan waste for some reason. the anopheles probably disliking the corn whisky and rum taste. preferring some 5i l the higher proof products. They also appear to have likes and dislikes in their taste tOr tobaccOs. as the man who chews snoose is immune, where as the user of Blue Boar or PA is ] literally devoured. Many a mosquito will fly a mile Ito get to nibble on a Blue Boar addict.
 There should also be restrictions as to the length of the bil used Fairbanks is wasting time trying tC i regulate tine length of trucks and ] busses on the highway. Why not le. vote it's efforts to the length of 8 mosquitoes bill.

 The size of the mosquito also is increasing. It is embarrassing to a Yaldezan to point out what he thinks is a robin and find upon closer inspection that 1t is a mos quito. We must either have more tourists or fewer mosuitos. Unless something is done there will be no more room for them in the air. room for them in the air.
 It is fortunate for Alaskans. on account of their numbers. that mos Quitos cannot vote. If they did fhey would be New Dealers and have their bills into everything.

Suffering from a badly infected hand after having a finger blown full of oil under 5000 pounds pres- sure. Wm. W. Miller of Seattle was admitted recently to the Anchorage Hospital. He was brought to Al- chorage by plane from Halibut Bay, south end If Kodiak island.
 Miller. Diesel engineer, was in- jured when he placed a finger over a hole on the engine at the Alaska Red Salmon Packers plant at Halibut Bay and the oil shot hole in ihe finger
 At the isolated cannery there was no medical aid and alarm arose when Miller's hand swelled and the infec- ton appeared to be spreading. Radi1 calls for a doctor were sent from the freighter Oduna and the star airways sent the plane with Dr. Ro- mig.

CHILDREN IN COURT

Two socially prominent and well to-do parents were severely lectured in court yesterday afternoon when their only son was implicated in al arson charge.
 When the parents attempted to shift the responsibility for their sons conduct to his playmate, the judge turned to the couple and said: Both of you are so busy with your club, lodge and social obligations that y' d have no time left to train your child. If I again hear of you employing a high school girl at ten cents an hour to supervise this nine-year-old boy I will be forced to remove him from your custody" Milwaukie, Ore, Re view.

ALIEN FARM IMPORTS

American housewives are becom- ing more and more used To the terms. Polish ham" and Danish bacon Imported meat products Of course are coming to us from other European. countries and also from Latin-Am- erican Argentine.
 The flow of farm products to Am erica has been stimulated by the. killing off of cattle and hogs at home together with other artificial meth ods for curtailment of supply, aided considerably by the seasons of. drouth which came upon the Amer ican farmers.
 The reciprocal trade agreements, sponsored with other nations by. Uncle Sam through the agency of. Secretary )f State Cordell Hull have. facilitated this flood of alien farm imports to America.
 The fact is, according to the De- partment of Commerce, we are BOW importing each month about 4,000,- 00O pounds of frozen hams, shoulders and bacon, and these are valued at approximately Sl,500,00O. Perhaps the amount does not look So large, when compared with the consuming abilities Of the American people, but we must bear in mind that the im ports are increasing by leaps and bounds.
 And all eur meat imports do not consist of cured pork products. In January, according 10 the official re- port, we imported oyer 17,Ue0 pounds of ordinary beef, 1,796sUUO pounds of ordinary pork, over 25,o0O pounds of turkey, 60,000 pounds of chicken and other fowl, 1,173,eO0 pounds of canned beef, only one third of which came from the Ar genuine, another third reaching Us from Uruguay, and a considers ole supply from Brazil Most of the ordln ary pork came from China, where millions do not have enough to eat, while beef came to us from as lar away as New Zealand. These figures are for January only, and let us re- peat, the imports are mounting.
 Now the other side of the general farm picture is that our exports of all farm products are shrinking IS our imports increase. The propon- ents of the free trade and good neighbor" policies will tell us chat we are short of supplies here and that when our farmers catch up with the markets, figures can be re- Yersed.
 But will they be reversed? In :ne first place we may say that Seere- tary of Agriculture Wallace wants the American supply of all farm produce kept sharply curtailed, and he predicts disaster if We have an- other sizeable surplus. Doubtless he is correct so far as this pessimistic prediction is concerned if we keep the doors open to imports.
 When the American farmer gets a few good seasons and piles up a surplus in grains and livestock, the foreign produce will keep on coming in because it can be raised more cheaply abroad than in America.
 At the same time this foreign iu- dustry which has been stimulated by the foolish American theory that our farmers can grow rich by pro- ducing less, will take up our former export markets abroad just as it absorbs our domestic market under the low tariff agreements.
 As a remedy to our grain surplus es in the future, Secretary Wallace

Of the Congressional Library to

the oath Of office.
He was escorted by q company of rifemen
from Alexandria in buff breeches and sky-blue
claw-hammer coats with yellow facngs and
brass buttons. He himself wore Intentionally
according to tradition, his old clotheS-a blue
coat with brass buttons, blue pants and coarse
shoes tied with leather shoe strings. Fuss and
feathers smelled of the royalty he hated. He
had sneered at the inaugurations of Washington
and Adams. They had looked too much like
coronation ceremonies.
This was the first of WaShington'S long pa
rade of inaugurations. It was dramatic scene.
Chief Justice Marshall that day administered
the oath to Jefferson as President and to Aaron
Burr as Vice President The three men hated
each other. Marshalls only satisfaction in
gloomy day was that he had not been obliged
to administer the oath to Burr. whom he con-
sidered even more depraved than the sage Of
Monticello.
The new President said something worth
quoting in his inaugural address that day. The
words probably were directed at both Burr and
Marshall.
He said: I'VE are all Republicans, we are all
Federalists, If there be any Union, or to change
It's Republican FORM let them stand undiSturbed
