Home Garden Can
Be Made Means of
Additional Income

College Station, Raleigh, March 20
The primary objective of home
garden is to provide the family with
an abundance of good things to eat.
But it can also be made a source
of additional cash income, said Cor
nelia c.. Morris, State College extern
sion economist in food conservation
and marketing.
By raising more vegetables than
are needed for home consumption,
the family can have a surplus that
will find a ready market in town.
Town housewives like to get fresh
country produce.
Asparagus, cauliflow"r, egg plant,
Brussels sprouts, and broccoli are a
few of the vegetables for which there
is good demand and which are not
found in every garden.
Tomato plants, petunias and other
flower plants find a ready sale on
home demonstration curb markets.

F amed Pioneer
 Taken by Death
 At Seward Home
Joe Badger, Colorful Alas kan, Succumbs to Linger-
 ing Illness at Age 68

SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. 21.-Joe Badger, 68, widely known Alaska pioneer and proprietor of the Van Glider Hotel here, died yesterday following a long illness, suffering from a bad heart condition.
 Badger was one of the real old timers of the north, coming in the gold rush days and staying on, en- gazing in various enterprises. He formerly operated a laundry here but for the past Is years has oper- ated the Van Glider Hotel where he became famous for his free and easy way of handling guests.
 It was tradition at the Van Glider that every guest carried his own baggage. Badger saw to that. It was a custom he put in practice when he first opened the place. Your room is to the left on the second floor, and don't forget to take that bag up with you" was one of Joe's famous greetings. He never showed a guest to his room. Rather, he handed the guest key and gave general directions, with the added advice, don't forget your baggage" His place was a rendez- vous for travellers all over the north.
 One of the traditions of the Van Glider under Badger management was the famous three-Weeks bridge contest. Some years ago three wo- men tourists came north who were devoted to bridge. At Seward, in- stead of going on the usual trip to Mckinley park, they decided to stay at the Van Glider while the rest of the tourist party made the trip to the park. The stay, of course, was to include bridge morning, noon and night. Joe, an expert bridge player himself, was asked to make a fourth.
 For three long weeks, the great contest went on with money at stake. During the period Joe an- swered no telephone calls if it hap lpened to come in the course of the game Nothing, he decided, should disturb his visitors desire to play bridge, and he gallantly made the fourth hand himself.
 Back around 1900, Badger took the States by storm. Those were in the banner days of Nome and Joe was there. A basketball team was organized and so expert did they become that it was decided to tour the States with Badger as Manager. The Nome team under Joe's man. agement never lost a game Outside and were declared the champions of North America,

BULKY EDITIONS

PORTLAND, Jan. 21-The morn ing and the two afternoon daily newspapers turned out bulky edi- tions today to satisfy the public's thirst for news that they do not and cannot get over any radio broad cast.
 Typographers were augmented by special workers to meet the heavy demand for composition.
 Downtown stores and transporta- tion lines, which reported a prac- tical business lull during the strike, said trade was brisker immediately following the announcement of the settlement.
 Theaters last night had the standing room only signs out as they had been showing to nearly empty houses as people look to the newspapers for their theatre news.
