Rich Rewards Waiting On Northern Frontiers
Seattle Times


 Though it may require years to win victory, Seat tie is renewing it's determination to attain the goal of rail transportation through British Columbia to Alaska The Seattle Chamber of Commerce again has gone on record approving the project, for which initial legislation now is in the hoppers of Congress The enterprise has the sustained support also of the Pacific Northwest Trade Association consisting of British Columbia and Alaska; the Alaskan chambers of commerce and the boards of trade and Chambers of Commerce of British Columbia and the eleven Western States
 Unrennittng efforts will be needed on the part of all these organizations and others to accomplish this purpose for it will be costly undertaking The cost of construction rail line to link Vancouver B. G. with Fairbanks and the Alaskan Railroad estimated at 75o milon-three quarters of billion-dollars.
 The need of such direct rail connection with Alaska for the purposes of defense of that Territory Canada and the continental United States must be repeatedly expounded The great arm of farm, wheat and cattle country it would open up in British Co., lumbia and the Yukon Territory must be continually pointed out by believers in the project.
 The immense natural resources in coal minerals, ores and forest products in Alaska and Canada that such railroad would bring within three four days of and markets in this country must be described over and again. The opportunities for settlers in new country, providing markets for American and Canadian industry, which the railrotd would create, need to be foretold without cessation
 A 750 million dollar railroad large under taking in this multi n-dolar era But it can be no beyond the reach of private public in the early days of their building. Let say there is no loGger North American frontier to be pioneered for stretches northward to the Arctic Circle and the Boring Sea- It awaits steel rails to be conquered and it should be Seates part to provide leadership for the conquest.

Blight Resistant
Potato Yields Best

A new potato variety, which is
very resistant to late blight, topped
Maryland yield tests this year. Dr.
R. A. Jehle, State Plant Pathologist
at the University of Maryland, re-
ports that in his trials at Pocomoke
the Essex potato produced 433 bushels
of U. S. No. potatoes per acre. This
potato, which was developed at Cor
nell University, natures at about the
same time as Katahdin.
Irish Cobblers, usually grown in
this area, produced 337 bushels pei
acre from Maine grown seed and 81
bushels from locally grown seed. A
Seeding and the variety Marygold
both developed by the University in
cooperation with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, were next to the
highest in yield. The new seeding, a
long potato with shallow eyes, rusty
skin and superior baking quality
averaged 1884. The Marygold yield
was . ~ DuSIlClo pei etNIGs
DR.. Jehle reports that he is very
pleased with the blight resistance of
the Essex variety and believes it Of
fers some promise as a desirable va
riety for Maryland growers. Its shape
and quality are similar to Irish Cob
bier, but it has more shallow eyes.
Another variety which has at
tracted some attention during the
past year or two in Kennebec. 1t
averaged 400 bushels of U. S. No. /
potatoes per acre in trials during the
past two years. However, it natures
much later than Irish Cobbler and
when planted in March in the lower
attitudes of the State, cannot be dug
until the middle of August unless the
vines are killed or pulled.

S528 Will Be Top
Dividend On Vets
Life Insurance

The top dividend checks to be sent
to World War ii veterans on their
national service life insurance will be
for 1928. Dividends will start going
out in January.
Veterans Administrator Carl R.
Gray, Jr., disclosed this in releasing
the formula to be used in distributing
the $1,000, 100000 dividend among
some 100000 veterans and their
dependents and heirs. He had planned
to release it next Sunday but changed
his plans because of published re-
ports about the formula.
Not Subject To Tax
The dividend, to be paid before next
June &c. is not subject to income tax.
Veterans must apply for it, and about
three-fourths of them have already
done so.
The formula, Gray said, is calcu-
lated on the basis of dividend of 55
cents for each $1,000 of insurance, for
each month the policy was in force
before its anniversary date in 1913,
for all policyholders who were aged
40 or younger at the time the policy
was issued.
For older veterans, the dividend de-
clines gradually until it is 20 cents a
month, for each $1,000 of insurance,
for veterans SIS and over when the
policy was issued.
Scale of Dividends
The scale: Age Al at issue, 81
cents; AZ, 40 cents; AZ, 46 cents; A,
43 cents; As, 40 cents; 46, 81 cents
AT, "a cents; AS, 81 cents; 40, %
cents; so, 25 cents; 81, "a cents; 81,
% cents; So, % cents; 81, 81 cents.
For ordinary commercial life in
surance, the typical monthly premi-
UNI for $1,000 of term insurance at
age q is .$1.25, the Veterans Ad-
ministration said.
For national service life insurance
it is 65 cents. And the man who took
it out at. 81 will now get 55-cent
dividend.

year, but it collected % cents more
per capita in taxes than the average.
Maryland expenditures to run the
state were $65.11 per capita against
national average of $72.96, and its
tax collection $54.93 per capita
against an average of a$54.65.
Part of the difference is explained
by the fact that Maryland did not re-
ceive as much from the federal
government as the average state. 1t
received $6.03 per capita against a
national average of 1891.

HEALTH FOR ALL
Tuberculosis and Diet

Everybody knows a flood fad dist," the amateur dietician who composes reducing menus for her friends, relates just how to "feed'' a cold or tells you what food to eat to prevent greying hair.
 Unfortunately, some times she can do considerable harm if her ad- vice is taken seriously. Among the more dangerous 'food prescrip- tions" of such a person is her "sure cure" for serious illnesses. She will tell a tuberculous patient how to cure his illness by diet with the same assurance as fshe were tell ing child how to tie his shoe lace.
 There is no set diet or any one food item which can "cure" tuber- culosis, despite some superstitions and false notions about the diet of tuberculous patients which still ex- ist.
 The basic treatment for tuber- culosis is complete bed rest under medical supervision in a sanator- ium. The diet of a tuberculous pa tient in the sanatorium is planned to fit his particular needs. There are no magic" foods on his menu. His diet is a we'll balanced one, adequate in caloric value and in vitamins which will build his strength and provide "ammunition" for him to fight his disease.

country right or wrong' carried with it dangerous implications: Trudeau, University of Connectl- cut student, wrote the BULLETIN. "I enumerated some of these lm- ulications, referring particularly to the German citizen who, in an act of .disloyalty' to Nazi Germany, was loyal to the democratic peo- ples of the world. Concluding from that, my implication was obvious ly that should native American fas- cists gain cont ol of American TOT eign policy and wage an aggressive war, then opposition to the gov, ernment' would result in a disloyal act to the legal government and true loyalty to the peoples of the world as we'll as the American peo- 4ple."
 Says He Was MisquOted
 Trudeau had been quoted ill daily newspapers as unwilling to say ne ne would fight in his countrys cenal1 in the event of war
 "A reporter, whose name l in ouired, but will withhold unless the distortion is not corrected, sought me out and asked if it were true that I had said I wouldn't defend Inc American government. 1m- noediatelv denied his interpretation and took him aside to reiterate my original statement in it's entirety. Trudeau writes. <
 "He asked what organizations ! was a member of and told him of nv membership in the Young Pro oressives and the NAACP. He stu nidlv pointed out that l am not a Negro. I enlightened him as to- the facts regarding NAACP member ship.
 "I should like to point out that snch distortion of facts as this event reflects is one of the fr1g4t- ening daily occurrences that make one skeptical about the freedom o1 the press as we'll as 'our drive to- ward peace.'"
 In her telegram to the New Hav- en NAACP, Miss Black wired:
 "Have no record of Clyde Tru- deau as officer of any Connecticut Unit, NAACP. He is not authorized by this office to speak in behalf of Association"
 Pointing out that 'tnost New England papers carried the story with Trudeau's picture," MT. Baker wrote the BULLETIN:
 s'There is no such unit as the Connecticut Unit of the NAACP and the letter from the national office speaks for itself. It serves to show that we must be ever alert to keep the name of the NAACP above reproach, that the effective ness of the organization shall not be undermined"
