7ireless Lou Noua No1u
C0uets Seat In Senate

The most famous occasion, of
course, was torrid early autumn
night in 1941 when Nova stepped
timidly into the Polo Grounds ring
against Joe Louis. armed only with
his cosmic punch. He was supposed
to generate power for the thing
by adopting a bow-legged Yoga
stance and waving his arms around
his own head.
After staying in the stadium with
the champion for five rounds, Nova
went into his trance. He began
his gyrations and over his embat-
tied beezer came the look of clair
voyant in ecstasy. Naturally, Louis
struck the happy medium and Nova
communicated solidly with the spir-
it world for 10 minutes while his
handlers strove to bring him
around
Such sad events ultimately con-
vinced Nova that maybe his future
lay in the play. So after the Maui
riello affair he returned to public
life upright on the boards instead
of PROSTATE on the canvas in
summer stock production called
Saturday Night" at Lynn, Mass.
BY some coincidence, he was cast
as prize-fighter. Whereupon a
Boston critic. inflicting the unkind-
est cut of all on our Lou. said th2t
he probably was better in the ring
than on the stage. He added that
with the exception of Lou Nova,
members Of the supporting cast
were excellent.
Having absorbed the leathered
dynamite of the ring and the grape
fruit from the pit. Nova would
now joust with the Republican con-
stituency of California. Do we nesd
anything else to prove it's still a
free country?

Curing the month of February. | w. R. CTed) Garter, horticulturist and chemical gardening expert, will give a series of eight lectures on gar dening in Alaska with special atten- ton on culture in tie Gastineau Channel area
 Every gardener, commercial or amateur large or small, regardless of previous experience, is asked by Carter to attend the lectures. "As the war progresses, Alaska will be asked to increase it's own food production" said Carter Every pound of vegetables or fruits raised and construed in Alaska will De a valid contribution to American participation in the war and toward , lasting peace.
 Nov is the time, at Government md private expense, to learn up-to- | ,he-minute detai,.; on gardening under our weather conditions.
 This theory of scientific agricul- ture was perfected and put on a practical commercial basis by me while associated with the Garter l Florist at Sitka.
 During 1914 additional research and experimental work was done by me and numerous gardeners ano further proved the theory to be sound
 Scientific agriculture and gar dening will enable Alaska to become self sufficient, not only in vegetable products, but in all lines of agricul- ;ure By following this practical theory, one is able to increase pro duction and quality. p i'
 Each week during the lectures the same subject will be taken ur in both talks but approached from different lines of thought. In this way, if one misses one lecture, they will be able to continue the next week. The first four and last two lectures are very closely connected as have arranged them.
