CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
 TO BEGIN SOON NOME

Be sure to put Christmas Seals on packages and other holi day mail to foreign countries"
 This appeal is made by Harry Watson, President of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association.
 "In over 40 countries Christ. mas Seals are sold to raise funds for snti-tuberculosis work, and We are especially anxious that mail from Alaska bears evidence that we are participating in the work here"
 The iddea for using a penny sticker to raise money for a hos pital for children ill with tuber- culosis was originated by Finer Holboell, a postal clrek in Den- mark. The first sale was in 1904 and the stamps became immed- lately popular in that country. Sweden ttcciiiio1wed suit and Bel gium, Holland and Switzerland soon adopted the Idea.

Man Drives A Good Luck Token Put Together from Death Cars

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. - Ben Preston, an old Texas Rang CT, doesn't like the way automo- piles are built. So piece by piece he put one together to suit him. self.
 The result is a car that will go 100 miles an hour and whose parts were involved in the deaths of 48 people.
 In 1885 Preston acquired the motor and chassis of a machine that had been crushed by load of falling pipe. That started him on his hobby of collecting parts from cars in which people were killed.
 All over the country people began to hear about Preston and sent him automobile parts.

AlaSkans generally will ap- prove the stand of United States Senator Robert M. Reynolds of North Carolina in favor of Al aska defense bases. The senator sounded similar note when he was up here last summer, and in an interview in the Army and Navy Journal now comes out for an army air base at Fairbanks, naval bases at Sitka and Kodiak and other defense measures far out into the Aieutians as well as into the Arctic. We hope the sen- ator will be able to convince his colleagues in congress of the need for setting aside sufficient money to carry on this defense program in the north.
 And he will win 8 vote of thanks from most Alasksns for anything he can do to further the international highway and improve steamship service to the TefTdsory from the States, which he also advocates. All the things which need the support of such men as the senator from North Carolina.

The Annual Meeting of Nome Chapter of the Red Cross will be held at the Hospital, "Wednesday evening, November 23rd, at 8 o'clock to receive reports, elect officers and transact other im- portant business.
 This is your Red Cross" Do the people of Nome wish to have this Chapter continue?
 Our policy, since the end of the World War, has been to at tempt to build up a fund for the relief of sufferers from fire, flood, epidemicS and other great disas- ters. But it has become more and more difficult to raise any ap- preciable amount of money by means of the Annual Roll Call" We have always been helped out by the National Society, when ever we have been called on for relief, in such cases.
 Last year, the Roll Call rep resented less than one fourth of the adult white population of Nome! Shall We continue in that manner? Or shall we discontinue the attempt?
 Come to the Annual Meeting, Wednesday evening, and tell us what you think of it.

CITRUS HYBR|DS
IN UNIQUE SHOW
Exhibit at Botanic Garden
Reviews 80 Years of u. S.
Experiments. ,
By WILL p. KENNEDY.

Congress has just installed in the
United States Botanic Garden an ex-
ceptional exhibition of citrus fruit
hybrids of interest to botanists all
over the world. and Is preparing to
open its Easter flower show in the
new exhibition conservatory about
April 10, a week before Easter.
The citrus collection. not capable of
being duplicated elsewhere, comprises
258 distinct types or varieties. The ex-
hibit has been placed in the tropical
conservatory on the triangle between
Independence avenue and Canal street
at Second street S.W. after having
been secured by Wilmer j. Paget,
veteran assistant director of the
Botanic Garden, through the courtesy
of the Department of Agriculture,
and represents more than 30 years of
intensive scientific study to build up
the great citrus industry in Cali
fornla, New Mexico. Arizona. Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Texas.
Federal Creations"
MoSC OF the specimens are really
creations" of the Government scien-
fists, produced through cross-breeding,
William A. Frederick, assigned by the
architect of the Capitol in charge of
the Botanic Garden, explains. These
specimens cover the entire period of
Federal experimentation Many of
the specimens are in the families of
the orange, lemon, pomelo, tangerine,
tupelo and kumquat.
The outstanding feature of the COL
lection is the large number of speci-
mems which bear small foliage and
edible fruit, some about the size of
the end of a lead pencil. Many of
these new types are now being grown
on stocks of little-knoun ancestry
from all parts OF the world. and they
are attracting the attention of bo-
tanical students from all over the
United States, South America and
other foreign countries.

"who have a habit of ignor-

thoughtful suggestion. One

easy to get the car as far off
the main body of the road as
possible before starting to
repair or change the tire. It
is also easy to keep a sharp

OATS AND GAS
Older residents recall that

Older residents recall that
40 or so years ago the farm
ear sowed about as many acres
of oats as of corn or wheat.
The oats went to fuel the
power plant of the farm
the horses and mules which
pulled the plows. There was
q city market for the sur
plus, for horses and mules by
the thousands pulled the ice
wagons, the street cars, the
drays and the carriages. 1t
was an oats-drawn world.
The horseless city has been
with us now for years, and
again they are predicting
that the horseless farm is
soon to be a reality. One
tractor pulling the plows now
takes the place 10 horses
used TO fill. Henry Ford is
at this very moment pre-
pairing TO introduce a tractor
to do the work of many
horses at a cost of one. It
will eat no oats and hay.
The horseless farm will de-
stroy its own market for oats
and hay. The soil once
needed for those products is
turned 10 cotton, corn and

wheat. So up goes the sup
ply, and down goes the price
Of those products, and Uncle
Sam must step in and save
agriculture by helping it fill
or avoid the vacuum made by
the coming of the horseless
age.
Ford predicts a time not
far away when the bodies of
autos will be made almost
wholly from corn husks, soy
beans, wheat chaff and other
products of the soil. He
might have added that the
ultimate fuel for the motor
will come in great part from
the soil in the form of alco-
hol. Thus again, in due
time, the farm will be fur
nishing the "oats" for the
pulling machinery of country
and town. And so it goes,
around in a circle and every
thing eventually working out
to the good of all mankind.
The oat7power Of yesterday
is the gas-power of today,
and there is no need in
worrying about tomorrow.
When the gas gives out the
farm will step in again and
provide a substitute.

little, one-room rural school
house is "a menace to the
nation" and not capable of
laying the foundation for the

It's our candid opinion, and

be screwy In circumstance where
there is a deficit Of a billion and
only few hundred millions have
to be borrowed.
However It may be accomplished.
1t is hopeful to think that borrowings
are going to be terminated. The
Treasury has been doing it for a
long, long time. I think 1t is about
nine years that the Treasury has
faced deficit each year and there
has been new money borrowed to
pay the bills. Those borrowings
ranged anywhere from half a bill
lion during 1880 to more than four
billions in 1888 and 1884.

Mr.. Ickes explained that he did not

feet but there are numerous high
mountains nearby. Reno's altitude is
4,484 feet
The secretary said he was leaving

The colleague said the speech, The
Crisis Of Democracy" was to be de-
livered under the auspices of the
Hollywood Council for Democracy. He
said it had not yet been cancelled but
that Mr.. Ickes might refuse to deliver
it because of what might be considered
