average family Of four persons.
The size Of the garden win de-
pend to large extent upon the
fertility Of the sou ana the ability
of the gardener. A plot Of ground
so feet square should produce sui.
ficient vegetables for Use during
the summer as well as enough d,
store for winter use. This. how
ever, would not include potatoes.
A garden 100 feet square under av-
erase conditions should produce
enough potatoes an dgarden vege-
tables for the average family.
The following vegetables are
recommended for Alaska gardens:
Cabbage: early variety-Golden
Acre. Jersey Wakefield; medium

* Good and ill balance in the horo-
scope for today in which there Is
no dominating aspect. The early
morning may be adverse in BUSH
ness deals. sHt
HEART AND HOME: Women
are subject to adverse planetary
influences which may retard their
work. Under this sway love al
fairs languish and girls may be dis
appointed in their plans for mar
rage. The seers emphasize the
danger of hasty weddings since war
lhysteria often takes the form OF
tickle sentimentality. This is an
suspicious rule of the stars for
grandmothers, many of whom will
make good records in public SER
vice. Stern self-discipline will be
necessary to the well-being OF the
mothers and wives of the nation
for there is sign presaging heavy
flosses from United States forces
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Unsettled
conditions may become apparent in
the business world. Taxes are to
weigh heavily on persons OF every
class Withdrawal for army SER
vice of young men who have been
trained in certain lines of trade OF
manufacturing may cause hardship
in shops and factories. 1t must
be recognized that 1942 Is q year
Of transition and those who con-
form quickly to new conditions will
benefit High tension may be evil
dent as this month closes. Strain
upon Our resources will be evident
as the Allies require instant aid.
NATIONAL ISSUES: The Pa
cific Coast will center national in
terest and its people will prove their
courage and resourcefulness. Fifth
Column agents win attempt to
break the morale OF residents close
to the ocean as intimidating ges-
lures will be made by enemy sub
marines and airplanes. Greater
danger than that of open warfare
will lurk among spies and aliens
who will be clever in Disgusting their
| treachery. There is sign read
as indicating danger OF explosion
in a town where aviators are trained
and airplanes are manufactured.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Mourning for royalty or for dis
tinguished statesman is forecast
for London. Severe battles for the
Allies will mark the close OF this
month with success for Britain. Set
backs for the defenders of democ-

PRESIDENT VARGAS DREAM


Madame Vargas. wife Of the
President of Brazil, remarked about
her daughter the other day Il

zira. All she tanks about is the
United States" ~
This remark illustrates not only
the tremendous wave of Brazilian
also one of the Chief reasons for
President Vargas pro-American
sentiment for the United States but
policy. All his children. plus his
wife, have visited here. One boy
spent four years at Johns Hopkins;
Alzira has made four trips to the
United States: his second son is
now here studying medicine.
Vargas himself has never been
to this country, though it is his
ambition to come. However, a few
days after the Rio de Janeiro Con-
ference he sent his Minister of FL
nance and his closest friend to
Washington as step toward full
filling a long cherished dream.
That dream is to develop the vast
Amazon Valley ana make it the
heart of Brazil, Just as the Missis-
sippi Valley has Become the heart
of the United States.
For years, most Brazilian presi-
dents have considered the Amazon
the back door of the country They

lures and Indians. Few high Of
