Gla Monster Arrives in Palmer

Ever seen a gila (hee-lah) mon ster? You may soon have the op- portunity, according to Dom Mover who this week announced the arrival of the deadly rep tile. The monster, which mea- sureS 18 inches, will be on ex- hibit at the Palmer Shoe Repair, awaiting the arrival of additional reptiles which will complete a travelling exhibit, Jungle Land, :" which Mover said will be shown throughout the territory this sum- mer. It is believed to be the first gila monster in Alaska
 The exhibit is to consist prin- cipally of reptiles. The organiza- ton has already received one ci- vet cat, the So. African version of the skunk; and the gila mon ster. To be shipped from Gle wiston, Fla. this week are two So. American alligators. These are the small speckled, caimen type. Another shipment expect ed soon will consist of 20 addi- tional poisonous and non-poison- ous reptiles which will be shipped from San Gabriel, California.
 Mover said the exhibit will be shown at various celebrations and fairs around the territory this summer.

Expe1 imeaIa! Disc
 RepoFled Success In PreEaFin Land

The Rome disc harrow. pnr- chased by the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station as part of their research program, is reportedlv doing a good job of breaking land and preparing it for seeding The program IS part of the Sta tion's research to find better and cheaper ways of clearing land for farming.
 Roland Grover and Clair Pat ton, both south of town, have used the disc to break recently cleared land. Twice over with the big disc and once or twice more with a small farm disc and the ground was ready for seed ing, it was stated.
 Roots were pretty well cut up by the 30-inch discs enough so that they shouldn't cause any trouble with seeding, they stat ed. Average rate of discing was about one and one half acres per hour, to cover the ground twice. It takes a good-sized crawler tractor to pull 1t.
 Officials said this week that a public demonstration of the disc will be held Tues, May IT during the afternoon at Jack Newcombe's farm. At a later date a demonstration will be held showing the capabilities of the root picker which the Station has purchased for trial.
 Anyone interested in using either the disc or root rake, or in watching them in operation, may contact Pat Murphy at the Ex- tension office or Cy Fhanestock or Ivan Branton at the Experi- ment station.

 The necessary precautions are worth the trouble" he said. 'ln recent years an average of 30 percent of the Alaskan potato crop has been unmarketable. When more U. s. No. Is reach the market potato growers make more money and consumers pay less for the potatoes they buy"

are peddling throughout the

ISM the title given to the collec-

eating the overthrow of the Unit
ed States government. This work,
published by the Foreign Lam

the base for the overthrow of all

II is almost monotonouS to be

the present fanaticism of the

also monotonouS and tragic to
observe the United States being
constantly induced to betray
other peoples and thereby to be-
tray itself.
Our duty clearly is set out for
us-to insist that Washington

that are robbing the United
States Of its defenses, step by

munists must be matched by our
zeal in the opposite direction.

" W4SHINCTON LETTER
HOlU Wars Are Likely to Start

the other, men will once again
sincerely, almost religiouSly,
come to consider war as an OBJ
ject of the moral order"
The consequences of modern
war are so appalling that it
would seem to require men such
as Admiral Radford speaks of,
"c0ntemptu0us of religion" and
the moral order, to start one.
1t is not likely that the words
of Admiral Radford, or the
Pope, will deter men bent on
starting a new war. Such men
would not listen to an Admiral
talk on morals, and being con
temptuouS of religion" would
not listen to the Holy Father on
anything.
But those who would ignore
the Holy Father, saying he
speaks of spiritual, not practi-
cal things, should pause TO con-
slider this fact. He knows hui
man nature better than they do.
