C0RDOVA REPAIRS DOCK

COrdova - Extensive repairs to the Cordoya wharf, in preparation for a busy season, are underway with a large railroad company pile driver, a travelling crane and a sub stantial crew of carpenters, engin- eers, etc, being employed daily in rushing the work to completion
 Many new creosoted piling are be- ing driven, new fender piles placed and considerable new decking and other materials used. The wharf is al- so being strengthened so that a trav- cling crane with a clam-shell bucket can be used along teh entire face of the wharf in dredging out the silt and debris that has accumulated Oy- CT a period of years along the face of the wharf, causing deep-drafted steamers to go aground while tied to the wharf at low tide. It is eX- pected that it will require several weeks this spring before the pro gram of work at the wharf is com pIeted.

 PILOT BAGS WOLF
 Anchorage Alaskans eyed with approval today the two new methods of killing the predatory wolf.
 Pilot Archie Ferguson, who re turned here from a flight h the Kotzbue region, north of nere, said he saw a large grey wolf attacking reindeer.
 Sweeping down from the sky, Fer guson encireled the animal and at just the right range with his ship slightly tilted, let the wolf have a broadside from a shotgun loaded with buckshot.
 Pleased with the hunting and his aim, he turned the flight into an expedition and shot down three oth- l CT wolves.
 LARGE WHALE CAUGHT
 Cordova - A 70-foot right whale was brought in to the ocean dock by a motorboat, which reported that the monster cetacean was found eripy pied and floating about four miles out in Prince William sound. The crew of the motorboat pulled along side and with the aid of rifle and lance on a pikepole, succeeded in killing the animal after a fight last i ing some hours.
 It is reported that the fishermen will exhibit their catch in the var ious towns of Seward, Valdez and possibly in Anchorage, if deeolnpos- i ition can be held off that long.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
Homemakers Answered BY
University Farm

I have been using a 16-inch gen.
eral purpose sulxy plOw. In sod 1t
works well, but in stubble plowing
the field is left rough and the
stubble isn't covered up. Is there
any difference between a field
plowed with a general purpose
plow and one plowed with a stubble
pIow? Which one requires more
power for pulling?
A stubble moldboard might do
better job of covering under GER
tain conditions. However, I am in
clned to think that a rolling coul-
ter or jointer, or both, used on the
type of pillow which you are using
at present would probably improve
the quality of the work. The pow
er required to pull a general pur-
pose plow is essentially the same
as that required to pull a stubble
type of plow the same size. Tests
conducted at University Farm in
dicate that differences due to soil
type in the same field are greater
than differences in draft between
the two types of plow.-A. j.
Schwantes, Division of Agriculture
Engineering.
1 have been reading about the
effect Of cobalt on dairy cattle.
Can you tell me about 1t?
The work to which you refer was
concerned with series of studies
carried on in New Zealand. An
area was found where clover and
other pasture crops grew luxur-
iously but where the animals show
ed severe effects of malnutrition.
Various attempts were made to de-
termine whether this was some
toxic element or whether there was
something deficient in the crops
grown on that land. It was finally
traced to the absence Of cobalt
and one fifty-thousandth of an
ounce of cobalt cured the deficien-
cy in an individual dairy cow. In.
sofar as I know, this particular
area of about 100000 acres in New
Zealand is the only agricultural
area where cobalt has been dem
onstrated to be deficient.-R. A
Gortner, Chief Division of Agri
cultural Biochemistry.

Notwithstanding the fact that the

Nor did I know until Monday

which is now used as an old folks

fine Hamm home in st. Paul which
stands near the Hamm Brewing
Company plant. If you are ever
near the Hamm Brewing Company
you will Immediately note the re-
semblance between the Hamm
home and the Keller home in Sauh

Merchants of Old Good at
Figuring, Tablets Reveal

Babylonian merchants more than
1000 years ago knew enough about
simple and compound interest to
charge their customers rates as
high as 20 per cent per year. ac-
cording to ancient and clay tablets
which once were Babylonian text
books Of arithmetic and algebra are
deposited In libraries at Berlin and
at Yale University.
Unlike modern textbooks Of these
mathematical sciences, the Baby
lonian documents do not describe
general principles Of calculation.
Instead they resemble modern de-
vices such as the multiplication
tables or tables of fractions.
This is one reason why the abili-
ties Of the ancient Babylonian math-
ematicians and bookkeepers were
not realized by students Of the tab
lets until an authority discovered
what they really meant.
Another difference between Baby
lonian and modern mathematics is
that the Babylonians did not count
by tens, but by sixties. Numbers
larger than 60 were expressed ir
powers of that number, such as
squares or cubes. Numbers smaller
than 60 were expressed in fraction:
Of 60-one-haf, one-third, and SO on

The Founder

A founder is one who lays the
foundation of, who establishes or
endows, who originates. 1t may be
that the person who originates the
idea for an organization lacks the
power to establish the organization
and calls in some one else or. it
may be that group Of persons
originate the idea. In either case,
says Literary Digest, those who
actually establish the organization
are called cofounders. But the term
founder cannot technically be ap-
piled to any person who did not
actually participate in the original
conception. The exception is in
those organizations in which none
tary funds are requisite to the es-
tablishment. In such instances, the
founders or cofounders are those
who donate the funds which actually
bring the organization into being.
Those who may draft the original
constitution or who may serve as
first officers are usually called
charter members"

or lumber or drugs or overalls he
must pay what the merchant asks
and the taxes that the merchant
otherwise would have to pay are
included in those costs to the far
mer. What difference does it make
to the farmer whether he pays
taxes on the Bond Issue directly or
indirectly. Mr.. Sinclair Lewis in
one Of his books says: What dif.
ference does 1t make to the duck
whether he is shot sitting or fly
tng?"
In the city it is likewise the con-
sumner that pays, the man who
pays rent has his rental raised,
the man who wears shoes finds the
price of shoes raised, etc., etc.
The merchant himself does not
get off scot free. He too is q con-
sumner and in so far as he is con-
sumner he actually pays taxes. The
! shoeman cannot eat his shoes. He
must buy groceries. The grocer
cannot wear groceries on his feet.
He must buy shoes.
Gentlemen Of the Board Of Edu-
cation, you have placed a propos-
| ition before the voters which re-
quires very straight thinking. You
T, are asking us to vote for two
things with the one tx" marked
on the ballot. Those two things
are; (1) A mandate to wreck, the.
present Senior High building. ca
A mandate to launch Bond Issue
up to $165,000.
If we vote "Yes" on Saturday
next you must do both Of these
things. You cannot do one and dis
regard the other. You cannot, for
instance, give thought to saving
the present building, enlarging it
and renovating it. You must wreck
you, and no other program can be
| considered.
If we vote mo" we are not vot-
ing against the reasonable things
our school boys and school girls
should have. Rather are we voting
for those reasonable things. We
are simply disapproving this par
ticular program and paving the
way for a more reasonable, more
conservative program, such as, for
example, the saving Of the present
building from destruction, enlarg-
ing it, or building an annex to it, at
cost of about One Third the bur
den your present program would
place upon the community.
