AAU.Kk.AN PKt--S AVIATTON The Persistent American Far mer The American farmer is the mosl 1'tTMSU'Tit fellow in the world as well ftf nide fut iahle. We Kr.ow wnat he Vms- ti ACTioulture in this covin- tjv. Now he iro-1 1 ;r.s to rut hlm- If ver in Alaska Alaska, where fntn.;!. w.is supposed next to impos sible except in a very small an.i weak way. Air-truly the Mar.tanuska and Tanana disirii la ;i'e fiirr.ifhir.ir practically all :ht V(e:;.hK'8 required for local con sun'ptun. For.ite for horses and cat tie is beinc g:iwn. and even wheat, the maturirp of which was at one time thought impossible, is through the ef forts of the atirU-ultmal stations now a reeular crop. Fairbanks has the first flour mill to he built in the territory, and it is ex pected that it will be only a fvw years before that district will be supplying the whole of the interior and the towns along: the line of the government rail road with flour. The averace yield of wheat at Fair banks is IP. 6 bushels to the acre. The farmers there are commencing to or ganize for the purpose of cooperation in buyintr machinery and equipment. The livestock industry has hardly pro pressed beyond the demands for dairy products, but eventually beef cattle will be crown in many parts of the territory. Nine Rules for Happiness Pitl it ever strike you when you're listenii.c to someone rail acainst the evil of nivorce. that the happy marri age, as opposed to the unhappy, has never really had its fair share of pub licity. If one of your neighbors down the street has a family ruckus the whole town will know it tomorrow. But if all the other folk in the block just have a quiet, happy evening at home, no one is the wiser. It is not so important that a couple be fitted for each other, as they make tht-mst-lvt-s lit fur each other once they are married. Adjusting oneself to an intimate companion of the other sex that's the hard thing. Now the Eritish novelist, W. L. Genr-e. is in this country with hi wife. He is an expert on love, court ship and marriage. While he talks to big audiences, his wife sews his but- : a-.; series in bis v-e'.v bnt . 1 .--! !! .iv. she hasn't an occa i - ;1 thoutM about her bust ,md s ; -..ipa; top.c, herself In fact, Mrs j ;.. rtt- told some Chicago reporters herj , i 't.ts. ftv.d tho te pretty pood i l;."e the are. j 1 , t t -sen ea. h other's mail. You r kht i ot like its contents. A woman should occasionally change her ;ew, her ways and her hats. If ycu must be frank, let it be in p- ;vata. v i-. e a day a husband should say to h s w lfe: "1 love you " orco a day a wife should say to her husband: "How clever you are!' I. ics are no good, but you can exag gerate a litttle, as in courtship. If it seems hard to be married to your w ife, remember It Is hard for her to be married to you. Find out on the honeymoon if swear ing or crying is most effective Forgive your partner 70 times seven and then lose the account book. The Sad Story of the Rural Mails Folks, what do you think about this' There are in operation today 43,445 rural mail delivery routes, serving 29. persons, or about 6,500.000 fam ilies. Nevertheless, there are NEARLY "I'.N MU.l.U'N FK.n'U: ir these Ira te s ..;ts without adequate r.a.l tad U. os i l't i ;i. .'tie-thiul of the rural popu- ! l.it;'H is not pTvperlv setwd .it all by1 I" Tide S.im's mail ddtery department. ' I 'ccs it not seem, therefore, the President-elect Harding's postmaster gener- J al has a task Lefote him that is wen worth the best endeavors of the best man Mr. Harding can get? I What a char.ee there is in this rural, mail problem for a brainy, pepful man to distinguish himself! Not alone in i bringing mail delivery to all the peo-! pie, but in also bringing the produce i of foodstuffs closer to the consumer who doesn't grow his own food. The fundamentals of such a great government enterprise are simple enough even if the details are many and hard. They are three: Extend good roads, provide the routes with auto trucks and pay the carters just like big business pays the men who go out and brin in lots of orders. Good roads, and trucks would make it possible to carry an AVERAGE of not less than 1S00 pounds a day, per route, as compared to the present AV ERAGE of 24 pounds per day per route. Good pay and commissions would be an incentive for the carrier, who daily meets the farmers along his route, to drum up business among them. Soon he'd load his truck to capacity with i.v.isiun ror tow i tor urn consume' who doesn't produce his own food. With tnMoa routes and titUO trucks carrying up to Imh pounds the daily oUdie; of food f) om the farms of the country to the town would be 54,000 tons FIFTY FVVK TllOl'SAXO TONS A PAY! Good-bye then to the middleman. The consumer and the producer would come together, anyway through the retailor The producer would get the reasonable price that he asks, and the consumer would get cheaper food than he has had in half a century.
