GOLDFISH
OLD POEM?
(Mrs. A. r. H., WasI,ingtOnJ

INISs ~ 4bs ~ - F" OctSHtSIOfI
My experience with snails.
My black fantail fish ate the
snailS and it killed them. The
snailS did not keep the water
fresh nor clear. It was cloudy
and Shiny and the tank was
cleaned once a week. ] use
fresh well water. no chlorine.
The fish need air.
I wonder if anyone would
know the old poem about
(Rev) General Israel Putnam
riding down some steps. It
may have been in dialect. as
the only part I can remember
is this: when Putnam rid
down them air steps why
didn't some one foller."

just a snack or full meal
could be bought, turkey din
ner after 4 o'clock.
For the candle table, this
circle collected used candle
stubs and re-melted them into
new and lovely shapes. The
doll and apron tables explain
themselves also cake and candy
tables. The white elephant
table was made up of any good
articles even clothing, that was
laid aside in homes and not
in use. The green-thumb table.
of course was potted plants,
the ladies had raised during
the summer.
The parcel post table was
made possible by having cards
typed with a verse (originaD
asking for a parcel post pack
age worth not more than a
quarter. Each member of the
society sent 4 or 5 cards to
friends asking each one for a
package. The package was
not opened, but put on the
table and sold for a quarter.
The packages went like hot
cakes.
One circle gathered up and
had members of the society
save all their grease for them
and they made a lovely white
soap also, soap powder by
grinding some. The powder or
flakes was put into paper milk
cartons that have a corner
opening. One clever husband
of a member designed a cover
for the cartons which was
pasted on all around it. An
appropriate name was given
the soap and the whole effect
was quite professional looking
The circles did not conflne
themselves to working for their
special table entirely. but often
had donations that were given
or made and were turned over
to the proper table selling that
kind of article.
I hope these directions will
be a help. ...

SEEDS TO JAPAN
TX. r., Arlington)

In answer to the request for
seeds to a pen friend in
Japan" I would suggest golden
bantam corn as a food they
seldom have. They have most
of our other vegetables and
flowers. The growing season
up there is equivalent to that
of say Northern Michigan, late
Springs and early Falls. be-
lieve the Japanese writer might
love a copy Of the recent Ma
tional Geographic with pic
lures Of Washington and
Georgetown. They have so
much interest in pictures. post
cards. etc.. and the way of life
here in the United States.
When we were there two years
ago the mail order catalogs
were most fascinating to our
servants and even to visiting
japanese.

 NOTES Lew Hanks

was in Fairbanks last week to attend some conservation meet ings with local farmers. They are afraid of being short of moisture this spring. The ground was rath- CT dry in the fall. The snow depth is considerable less than normal. It is melting fast and I expect farmers will be working ground there almost as soon as we are here.
 M D. Snodgrass just gave me some information on the Agricul- ture loan bill, amounting to $200, 900, which was passed by the leg islature. It authorizes the fund and sets up a loan board to es- tablish policies. The loans will be administered under the Territori- al Commissioner of Agriculture. Loans are limited to $15,000 for development; $10,000 for chattel loans and $2,000 for crop and seed loans.
 This loan bill is one of the most forward looking steps taken by the Territory in for agricultural development. It is loan bill, not gift. It shows our legislators, all the way from Ketchikan to Kotzebue, have confidence in AL askan farmers ability to make a success of farming. One doesn't loan money on a prospect where you don't expect to get it return ed. My congratulation are to the Territory's legislators for their ac- tions.
 The Matanuska Electric Associ- ation has their annual meeting this Saturday. This association has done its full share toward the development of agriculture in the Valley. Your presence at the meeting is needed. Be there.

AGRICULTURAL SEEDS
 MUST BE TESTED AND TAGGED FOR SELLING

Farmers were warned this week to be sure all agricultural seed they purchase is properly tagged and has been recently tested. This word of caution came from George Crowther, executive sec retary of the Alaska Seed Crow CTS Association.
 Under Territorial seed regula- tions. each sack of seed sold or offered for sale, shall be plainly labeled with the following infor- nation, he said. CD The common ly accepted name of the seed. @ Locality where seed was grown. (3) Approximate percen- tage by weight of pure seed. (4) Approximate total percentage by weight of other crop seeds. (6) Approximate total percentage by weight of inert matter. CD Name and approximate number per pound of each kind of noxious weed seeds. (8) Percentage of ger imitation of such agricultural seed, together with the month and year said seed was tested. (0 Percentage of hard seeds if present. QO Name and address of vendor.
 Anyone offering seed for sale failing to have it properly label ed with the above information is guilty of a misdemeanor and sub ject to fine, Crowther said.

It shall include vaccination be- tween four and eight months ot age. and freedom from TB and ringworm. Male must be castrat- ed, regardless of age. If there IS insufficient range, heifers only will be admitted.
 Each livestock owner will bear his own losses. Neither the com mittee nor the association will be responsible for loss or injury of any kind.

For US. Cpl. Luther's first return was

Compared to his first return, The second
one sounds hollow, artificial and cheap. No
matter how genuine the welcome was, no
matter what his fellow citizens felt within
them, his first return should have been re-
spected Other means of honoring the man
who had given up 50 much in body and
spirit for them could have been devised.
Hollow, artificial and cheap are not adjec-
tives that should be connected with an Am
erican welcome.
And the seriousness and potentialites
of the young mans experiences in war
against communism and aggression might
be lost in the festive air of a forced Ameri-

Is a welcome more important than this

countries
These facts, Of course, are contrary to
the picture which has been painted by the
Communists. While we are discovering
brutal death marches and new atrocities,
inflicted on our own soldiers, nearly 5000
Communists, if they dare tell the truth,
must admit they have been treated fairly

be accurate TO say that the $500 Commun-

realize. better than any other group in

If complete prisoner exchange is COM
pleted. over 100000 Communist prisoners
who have been treated decently by the allies
will wind up in North Korea and China.
