The Persistent American Far

way.

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 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

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 '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.
