he brought his own schooner north until the gold fever captured his soul
 But in 1914, he took his wife and seven children into the fertile valley of the Matanuska River. Though a seaman from birth, even his mariners eye saw promise of sweet things in the deep turf. And so he took in his "A head of cattle and his blows and his tools and built
 Makes Money
 He made money, and when a sailor makes money, he buys new boats. and so Axel Olson went to sea again and left his children to reap the benefits of the soil he had turned and nursed.
 Today he has eleven grandchll- dren in Matanuska, two sons and a daughter. He still owns his patented acres there, although they are leased to the Government.
 Anyone who will work will make success at Matanuskal" Captain Olson said last night aboard his boat. You can raise the most Won- derful vegetables in the world there. "
 One colonist at Palmer raisec $2,600 worth of vegetables on only four or five acres of ground. l bought ton of stuff from him last sum- mer,s paying him three cents pound. Over $2,000 from a few acres like that at three cents a pound IS good money and shows the ground is good!"
 "The big trouble with the Colony, is that too much money was spent on fine homes and fine barns-but there's nothing in them. Some of the colonists are making a go of 1t, and lot of them will. They can't miss if they work" said Capt. Ol- son.
 But even more promising than Matanuska, in Capt. Olsons opinion is the Cook Inlet country around Homer.
 That ground along the eastern shore of Cook Inlet is the greatest country in Alaska he said. Some day, Homer will be great grazing country. There is not a better place anywhere I know for raising cattle
 Tt would surprise you to see the gradual growth of that area. Each summer I carry in about $6O0o0 worth of merchandise and freight to the homesteaders along that shore
 Its the sort of progress that is going on there, that will push AL aska ahead. What you take out of the soil in farming, you can put back. Tn mining. you cannot"

couple, are at least this smart: they have their
feet on the ground - 1000 acres of it, in
green rolling hills, forty miles from the grind
of studios and the frenzy of night clubs.
Their greatest good fortune consists of
Joel Dee, aged three and half, and David
aged two.
Good fortune? Take Frances. To drop out
cheerfully for two babies and come back,
doubtfully, on two picture contract. In one
of those pictures to star with her own husband
Everybody advised her not to try it); to have
that picture - Wells Fargo" - turn out a
smash hit and to find herself again one of the
most sought-after actresses in town that
forgets overnight! She has a fancy long-term
contract now, cast Immediately as the star
in another 'epic."
Frances is the loveliest manifestation in
cycle of fate that happily pursues Joel Nc
Crea. The pair were born within five blocks
Of each other, between Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena. When the girl was still toddler her
family moved to Chicago - long way from
Joel.
Her school days are vague dream to her.
She didn't make very good marks; from the
first she was caught up in another dream -
to be an actress. Slight as she is, she was
healthy youngster, a tomboy who couldn't
resist climbing telephone poles.
She danced at school entertainments, acted
in high-school plays, elected studies, such as
French, that might help if her dream came
true.
Meantime, in Hollywood, Joel was working
out vigorous, sane pattern of life. His father
was prosperous corporation executive, but
the boy carried an extensive newspaper
route. One of the men to whom Joel delivered
papers was Sam Coldwyn. Sam gave Joel
fifty cents once, at Christmas.

A horse to him means what sonnet did to
Keats When onlynine he was slipping away to

to keep out of school and in the open with

reputation for business acumen, he laughs
MY first business deal was with my

All vitality, Joel was the type of boy who
early feels himself man.
Today the most luxurious stretch of street
in Hollywood is that portion of Sunset Boule-
ward known as 'The Strip" Deluxe stores
and restaurants line the thoroughfare.
At sixteen, young McCrea helped plough
and grade "The Strip" before it was paved.
First meeting him while he was taking a
semi-nude sun bath, noticed an obviously
broken rib Later asked:
How did you bust that rib?'
