Region.
Tho An'tic regions srem to hnvo
been miKiiiulerstood. They nro won
derfully fruitful, or may be made ho
by a little of tho cure which man Iuih
lavished on other parts of the earth.
No less nn authority than tUefanxon,
the scientific explorer, Kays that tho
Arctic and sub-Arctic lands can pro
vide fjrejit quantities of food, partic
ularly wool, ment and milk. He has
gone so far as to hiy before the Cana
dian parliament a plan for introduc
ing and domesticating on a big scale
the animals necessary for this pur
pose. They arc the reindeer, which fur
nishes milk nnd meat, and the musk
ox, which furnishes wool. -There nre
from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 square
, miles, he says, in Arctic North Amvr
iru, where ordinary cattle cannot live,
but which can provide grazing ground
for these animals the year around.
He says that Arctic Canada alone will
support 7,000,0(10 renideer, which
number would produce ns much ment
every yenr as 14,000,000 sheep.
It Is no untried theory that Mr.
KtefnnsNon submits. . The United
.States government introduced more
than 1000 reindeer in An tic Alaska
20 years ago, and they; have been in
creasing rapidly ever since, tlie herds
doubling their numbers every three
years under Kskiino care and every
two years under the earn of white
men. There is a herd of lfi.OOO rein-1 J
Ieer m Kapiand owned ny a group oi
American capitalists. Vrom thijs herd
there were sold last year in the Amer
ican market liiOOO carcasses of lf-0
.pounds each, at p'ices considerably ' J
higher than were paid for domestic J
beef. I
The Canadian government seems to : i
be much impressed with the idea. Tho
railway men say that transportation J f
1 for the purpose. .Most ov lii .f: who
fare actually discharged KMi?"s oi
sailors arc men who were dom.; the
same sort of work before they entered
the service. Among them aie s.'i.l t"
be "crooks and fakirs of every class.'
They nre shamelessly cap'it liririu' th
uniform, which ought to tie p. birred
as the flag, for their petty or nefar
ious traffic. They make 'i icoH th!nj
out of it, too. Many men aneUd l

As the final hour nppronches
the (Ionium . representatives tu han.i,
in a decision as to whether they will
sign or not sign, comes in the report
today the "definite idatemenl" that
the peace covenant will be rejected
in itH present form. That attitude
will be maintained up to tin- last min
ute, and a rule that is as good as any
to go by is that whatever tiermany
leclares she wfll do. she will not do,
und the thing which she now says ia
impossible will finully be found pos
sible. The ''reverse hunch' is the rule
by which to judge (iermaii diplomacy.
It is declared by reports received
yesterday that no argument will be
permitted and no extension of time
will be given. And Marshal Koch is
ported as"saying that everything is
ready for action in case (jet-tunny docs
not accept.

Bradford Gilchrist, is part of the story
of the struggle for the education of
women begun by the establishment of
Ml. Holyoke seminary.
John Muir's "The Story of My Boy
hood and Youth," is popular with high
school students. This is the story of
Scotch boy who emigrated to the
United States with his parents. Other
tories of adopted citizens which have
become popular, are "A Far Jour

"I'rom Alien to Citizen," nnd Jacob
Riis "The Making of An American."
Anna Howaril Shaw's "The Story of
a Pioneer" is another account of edu
cation and successes acquired under
pionecj- conditions.
Lovers of "Tom Sawyer" cannot but

Turning from the lives of those
who have struggled w-ith poverty nud
