Search Will Be
 Made in Alaska
 Mountain Areas

EDMONTON B. C., Feb, II, (P) Sir Hubert Wilkins said yester- day that Alaskan Mountain ran ges will be the next area covered in the hunt for the lost Soviet Polar fliers. He further said that "those of US with Polar experi- ence still believe and hope the Russians are alive, although most people seem to have lost hope.
 "The last wireless message re- ceived from the fliers said they were going to land about 83 de- grees North, l48 West, and the runor that an Eskimo reindeer herder heard a motor off the Arc tic coast August 18th, which led to the theory that the Russians might have flown over the coast and into the mountains. The Rus sian government, therefore de- cided to continue the search, whi- oh he plans to do as soon as his motor is fixed"
 Wilkins returned to Edmonton last Wednesday to get new en- zine for the plane, which was disabled at Akavik. He also brot propellor to be repaired.

You've heard of the strategists
who played both ends against the
middle and came out ON top.
Leo Turner uses somewhat the
same system in producing bermuda
grass seed but Turner plays four
ends to make money.
He sells bermuda grass seed to
midwest and dust bowl farmers, he
sells the straw for feed and part
of the year ne pastures the grass.
Then the government pays him an
annual bonus for producing a soil
improving crop.
Turner has 1900 acres of bermuda
grass in Imperial Valley at the
present time. From the 1900 acres
he harvests an average of 100 sacks
per week during four months of
the year
Each 100 pound sack of seed
brings $3.50 Pasture, straw and
bonus payments vary each year, ac-
| cording to Turner.
Turner does not plant bermuda
seed fields, instead ne takes over
abandoned alfalfa fields in which
stock has pastured. In a couple oi
years an abandoned alfalfa field will

Well, folks, the summer time has
come and gone, and the planting
and pruning season is with us once
again. Do you remember all those
little improvements you were going
to make around the place last
winter. but which you never got
around to? WELL, let's make them
now. If we don't make them now
the chances are We never will.
For no apparent reason. I found
myself remembering the other day
a holiday which I spent at Cata-
lima in the summer of 1924. 1t was
one of those perfect days which we
like to remember. A red letter day
in Memory's Calendar of the years
that used to be. There were four of
us in our little party that day and
we did all of the things that tour
lists always do at Catalina. We
rode in the glass -bottomed boat,
we played in the surf, we swan out
to Tom MiX's yacht and invited
ourselves on board. We sang and
shouted and laughed, - evening
came too soon.
At twilight We stood by the rail
of the Avalon and watched shores
of the Magic Isle fade into the
gathering dusk, and we solemnly
vowed that we were coming back.

week and do all of the things that
we hadn't had time to do that day
That was in 1924, and I have never
been to Catalina since. And as far
as know, no member of our little
party has ever set foot upon its
shores since that happy day, Why?
I don't know. We had good time,
we wanted to have another good
time. But we just never got around
to it. More urgent, more necessary
activities filled all of our days. and
we just forgot to go back.
There is an old and familiar say
ing about a certain road which is
said to be paved with good inten-
tions. I have never travelled that
thoroughfare to its ultimate ter
minal, so I wouldn't know. But l
do know some other roads, not too
far away, which seem to have been
paved with good intentions and
nothing else, and they are terrible.
If you have been planning rather
vaguely for a long time to create
more desirable environment for
your family, remember this: you
can just keep on planning until the
Timekeeper blows his whistle and
the game is over for you you. Or
you can make your dreams come
true now. If you haven't home
of our own, you are missing half
the joy and satisfaction of life.
Just a homeless wanderer on the
face of the earth. If you have a
home of which you are not proud,
analyze your dissatisfaction and
remove it by making the desired
improvements now. And then re-
member this: The finest product of
the Architectural Art is not a
home until you have lawn, a few
trees, some shrubbery, and flowers
in bloom.

Legume Gets
Nifroqen from Air

The amount of nitrogen added to
the soil when legumes are turned
under depends on the kind of le-
gume, the condition of the stand,
and the stage of growth. A. j..
Pieters and Roland Mckee, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, discuss the subject in
"Soils and Men," the department
yearbook for 1888.
The amount of nitrogen in a
legume when turned under, they
point out, represent the nitrogen it
has taken from both the soil and
the air, but the amount taken from
the air is all that is really added
to the soil.

month with 87.9 lbs. of butterfat,
the report disclosed.
G.. E. Gordon, extension special
ist in dairying, pointed out in his
monthly summary that the practice
of crossing different breeds Of dairy
cattle has increased to an alarm
ing degree in California during the
past few years.
1t appears that this practice may
be increasing somewhat at the
present time. The cross-breeding of
dairy cattle has been adopted by
this state largely by the desire OF
producing dairymen to meet chang
ing market conditions. Too often
they have been stimulated in this
practice by those concerned with
the marketing of their product.
Cross breeding of dairy cattle
mixes various characters so greatly
that lower production is inevitable
1t is quite generally recognized that
high production per cow means
low cost of production. The mix
ing of breeds, therefore, will un-
questionably increase cost of prod
duction on the dairy farm. Such
increased cost of production can
only be satisfactorily taken care of
by an increased prize paid to the
producer by the distributor who
in turn would have to secure a
higher price from the consumer.
1t is therefore, of interest to the
producer, distributor and consumer
alike to work toward low cost of
production on the dairy farm. The
extensive nractice of the crossing

Your Beauty
|Marred by
Wrinkles
Treatments Each
Night Will Help
Erase Lines.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

IT is amazing how many young girls
write me about wrinkles around
the eyes. They are concerned and
rightly 50. The eyes have been called
the high lights, the mirrors, the pic
lures Of the soul and the face. They
have definite frame around them
made up of the lids. the feshy part
under the brow and the brows them
selves, also the lashes and the delicate
tissue directly under the eyes. When
the frame is wrinkled il detracts from
the beauty of the eyes, no question
about that!
Faint little lines may be due to
nothing more than whole hearted
laughter. These are innocuous
enough. In fact. they are commend
able. But definite. deep wrinkles are
not to be treated lightly. A check up
IS necessary to determine whether
eyestrain or squirting or pinching
shoes or slight organic trouble or pain
Is causing the panied expression that
is the forerunner Of the wrinkles.
Then, Of course, check on your diet,
make sure you are drinking enough
water and getting sufncient outdoor
exercise.
II you are convinced that you are
in good health, that your eyes are not
being abused, and that there is no
underlying cause for the wrinkles, or
after the cause is removed, the first
step Is to get more rest and relaxa-
ton. A rest period during the day.
If your program permits, is splendid.
Lie down in q darkened room with
herbal eye pads, stepped in hot wa
ter, over your eyes. These may be
used over and over again, once or twice
q day.
At night, before retiring, pat oil,
preferably warm, or cream around
the eyes. Don't rub. Follow a light,
finger-printing motion. Shall I tell
you my favorite? A little warm anti
wrinkle cream, Just = drop or two,
mixed In the palm Of the hand with
about q thimbleful of my favorite
nourishing cream. It Is very soothing.
In the morning, dash cold water into
my eyes, and pat iced skin tonic on 4
pad around them.
