Secondly, I was to buy the new
bed and make it up, telling Jacque-
line that she could sleep in her own
crib as long as she liked, but being
sure to call the bed to her small
friends attention, and tell them that
when she felt big enough to move
into it she was to have surprise or
a story every night for a week, to
celebrate. How many of them had
real beds to sleep in? Poor little
Keith had to sleep in a basket, and
then he'd have to sleep in the crib
when Jacqueline was all finished
with it.
''The first night she got into her
crib, but demanded a story. I said
that babies couldn't understand sto-
ries, but big girls did, so she must
wait until she moved into her own
room and bed. She moved the next
night, assuring the unconscious
Keith, as she swept past him with
books and woolly animals, that he
could have the old crib whenever he
wanted it.
''The third suggestion was that
give Jacqueline a little time all to
herself every day. As had no nurse

ARMY AND GOLD MINING

American soldiers who spent
dreary winters tracking through the
Arctic forest to build the Alcan
highway to Alaska frequently saw
the sparkle of gold in the stream
beds, and wanted to stake out claims
for peacetime development. They
were not allowed to do so.
Now, however, civilian construc-
ton crews are coming along the
same trail, and are stalking out
claims for the gold which u. S. SOL
diers could not touch.
Boys from almost every state
were sent to Alaska on that pioneer
ing job-cutting road through tall
timber where none but Indians had
passed before. They worked from
Dawson Creek, in Alberta, to Fair
banks, Alaska, but the place where
they saw the cleaning gold was in
the Yukon, near Whitehorse.
At first, there was little time to
think about private projects, for one
battalion was racing against another
to complete its 2O-mile stretch of
highway. But when a 1ull came in
the work, the men asked permits
sion to try their luck at panning
gold. The officers, however, ruled
this out.
Another season has rolled around,
and things have changed. The pio-
neer road is being replaced by a
permanent highway, built by big
construction companies-Elliott Con-
struction Co., and Becketel, Price
and Callahan.
These companies have mining en-
gineers attached to the construction
gangs, and they are not bound by
military discipline.
Note: Finally the army has mod
flied its regulations to permit little
amateur gold panning by soldiers in
Alaska, for recreational purposes.
This activity will be in the same
class with fishing, to give the SOL
diers sport in their spare time.

FOOD CONSERVATION
ANN CnNuERSATI
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

:. AND CONVERSATION
THE MOST POPULAR SUBJECT
of conversation is food. Everybody
talks about it either from the view
point of the producer, the professor
and dealer or the consumer. There
is no more agreement among the
general public than is found between
the nine separate and distinct bu-
reaus, departments or administra-
tons that are attempting to direct
the production and distribution of
food.
It is my belief that the one man
who knows more of the need, pro-
duction and distribution of food than
any other is Herbert Hoover. From
him I learn that the scarcity pro-
gram took AZ million acres of Amer
lean farm land out of production in
an effort to raise farm prices. OF
that acreage only nine million has
again been put under cultivation,
leaving 38 million still idle That
is more than an acre of tillable
ground for every family in the ma
ton. More ground per family than
is used to support many Euro
pean family. When the war in Eu-
rope is over we must feed the starv-
ing people of the nations Hitler has
despoiled. That 38 million acres
would feed all the people of Norway,
of Holland, or of Belgium, and we
will be called upon to feed those
people if there is to be a real peace.
There are too many cooks at the
food pot. The edicts and DEGREES
from nine Independent bureaus, each
of them stated by a group of theo-
retical economists, all of them issu-
ing instructions and regulations,
many of them not easily interpret
able and many of them contradic-
tory has made for confusion. Con-
gress has not been able to find out
what it is all. about. Three different
congressional committees are inves-
tigating the food problem as present
ed by these nine bureaus.
These nine bureaus or depart
ments are employing 40, 1000 people,
while in World War I the employees
of the food administration and the
department of agriculture combined
numbered only $4,000. The effort to
keep that 10000 employees busy is
keeping the American people in a
state of confusion on the food ques-
ton, but it is not providing any
answer to the problem. We are actu-
ally exporting less food than we did
during World War I.

LOYAL FARM BOYS
MAKE SACRIFICE TOO

AN ACQUAINTANCE of many
years has farm of 800 acres Of
the best of midwestern soil. He has
passed the three score of years
point, and is far from physically
strong. He has four sons, one mar
ried, and three others who have in
the past operated the farm. The
married son is captain of infantry
in Africa. The third son is in an
army training camp, the fourth, a
boy of 20, is in the marines in the
South Pacific. The second son, "a
years of age, is alone operating that
800 acre irst-essential warplant, the
farm. I know that young man. I
know there is no small particle of
the coward or the Stacker in his
mental or physical system. His IA
Their asked for his deferment, and
he accepted the obligation with a
full realization of what it means to
him now and will mean throughout
his lifetime. He, too, would like the
acclaim of friends and associates
that wearing a uniform would bring.
I know how he wishes for the privi-
lege of following his brothers. To
me he is displaying the greater hero
ism of any of the four. He is max
ing the greater sacrifice. There
should be way of acknowledging
such sacrifice, and there are many
thousands of similar situations.
WHEN THE WAR ENDS, it is es-
timated we will have some Sc mill
lion people wanting jobs. That is
10 million more than had jobs in
1910. The need of peace time COM
modities will take care of the Sc
million needed jobs provided the
government gives industry an oppor-
tunity to accumulate sufficient CAPT.
tai to supply the needed tools. If
the government must do the financ-
ing it will mean the government in
business and our free enterprise sys-
tenn will be gone. That is not an
impossibility, but it is not what our
soldiers want to find when they come
home. 1t would mean the end of
Individual opportunity.

The Raj attack on Turin last

clusion the cause of our being in

pressed in action, resulting in an
organization to build up sentiment

A strong organization has been ef-

the Governor of the State, influen-

and representatives of agriculture
and labor.
The main objective is security or
safety, but there is clear indication
of willingness to join some sort of
international organization and to
maintain a judicial tribunal at the
cost OF the member nations for that
purpose. The people of this State
will not be willing to support candi-

willing to support whole-heartedly
the cause for which our men are
fighting.

this work would b. far less than

hshed a bureau to administer it on
a Nationwide basis. Their idea is
that the money which might be
