Farm Security: At this mo
 ment the bedeviled peasants m
 northern Rumania don't know
 who will harvest their next
 summers crops,s and it doesn't
 seem to matter to them much.
 Part of Germany's trade agree
 ment with Rumania was to
 plant soy beans and other crops
 in Bessarabia at Nazi expense.
 Now they don't know whether
 to plant, for fear the Russians
 will get the crop. If the Allies
 move in, they will get it. If
 nothing happens, Germany will
 get the crop.
 One thing certain, the peas
 ants will have little say as to
 where it goes, peace or war. It
 is already bargained away be-
 fore ever the farmer sets blow
 to his land.

INVOKING THE GOLDEN RULE

Moose Pass citizens who are sending to the States for groc cries while we have two excellent grocery stores operating In Moose Pass, are certainly not "doing as they would be done by" and they are lower ing their own standards of fair play.
 Money earned by or because of a job in Moose Pass should, in so far possib1e, be spent in Moose Pass and in the same ratio, money earned by or because of job in Alaska should, so far as possible, be spent in Alaska.
 Moose Pass merchant have thousands of dollars tied up in the tocks of goods which they carry for our convent ence, end they can't operate their stores solely with the idea of being acc ommodation sta tions when we need sack of salt or pound of coffee that we forgot to include in that last order sent to Portland ,Tac oma or to Seattle.
 The prices on grocery lists sent to us from Out side look cheaper because they do not include the exorbitant steamship and railroad freight charges which necessarily appear in the home merchants prices but we have to pay them just the same, if we send out for groceries.
 Why do you hate so to see our home mer- chant get a profit? He spends his profit in Moose Pass. We are all getting profit  exist Most of us are doing a six hour daily stint for our profit where the home stores operator are putting in l2 to Is hours daily for our acc omodation.
 Try and get the credit from Out side grocers that we ask for and get from our home grocers. Try and get donation for our Chri stmas ent ertainment, our library, our other civic ent erpri ses from Out side grocery dealers. You wont get it.
 Father A. P. Kasl1everof, custodian for many years of the Territ orial Mu useum at Juneau, died last week at the age of 76.
 With the passing of Father Kasheverof goes wealth of first hand knowl edge of Alaska hi history. He was gold mine of informat on. He was born on Kodiak Is- land three years before the United States purchased Alaska from Ru ssia.

A Threat to Happiness.

more than does any other inconsid-
crate, selfish old woman. Her pres

bands affection for you, and your
own married happiness. When your
mother was prosperous and had an
establishment and servants, it ney-
er occurred to her to save, to plan
for this hour. She enjoyed luxury
and extravaganza; she expected al
ways to be protected and important.
Well, life isn't like that. Ali of
us outgrow our usefulness and i'm
portance, and the only thing to do
Is to realize it, to get out of the
children's lives. To love, to help,

to fasten parasite-like upon them.
