Latest information from Alaska is that a thin but steady stream of farmers is arriving, bearing their own equipment, and ready to “go it on their own.” These “rugged individual” pioneers are gradually taking up locations in the Kenai Peninsula, and up north of the Matan- uska colony into the Tanana valley almost as far as Fairbanks. The offices of Gov. John W. Troy at Juneau and those of cham- bers of commerce of Alaska cities are piled with mail, inquiries about farm possibilities in the territory. The Matanuska colony itself seems to be doing well, with all internal criticism leveled at details of management rather than at the territory itself or the local conditions. There are 158 families here now, with 410 children, of whom 46 have been born since the migration a year ago in May. Marketing of vegetables and dairy products from the col- iny is beginning, and there is reason to believe that Alaska can use far more of such products than Matanuska ever can produce. | That is why individual farmers, many of them veterans of many years in the “dust bowl” of the west, have been collect- ing the remainder of their cash assets, their tools, and their families, and striking out for the “new land” of Alaska. They hope to find a more secure future “digging” for vegetables in the northern territory than their grandfathers ever found digging for gold. Matanuska families know of drouth and heat in the west- ern part of the United States only through reading of them. Matanuska temperatures never rose above 80 during the sum- mer, and there were sufficient intermittent rains. The land has proved to be just as fertile agrepresented. A long waiting list is ready to fill any vacancies that may develop in the colony. : Thus it begins to be a fair bet that the experiment of trans- porting a few relief clients from drouth-stricken farms in the northwest to Alaska, and staking them to a new start, may suc- - ceed in-itself. But if it serves to call attention to the opportunity for others to go as individuals, it will be of still greater service. And that is just what it appears to be doing. Alaska veterans believe the Kenai Peninsula alone can ac- commodate 100,000 people, which is almost’ double the whole population of the territory in 1930. Perhaps a new Horace Greeley is needed to coin a new slogan for today. “Go north, young man, go north!” The Hay Fever Vote WPA workers in Cleveland have marched forth on a deter- mined drive to exterminate ragweed. Amid muffled cheers from hay fever sufferers, 60 men are ranging the city, covering every street. Whenever they find ragweed, wild carrot, wild lettuce, milkweed, or Canada thistle, they will notify owners of the property to cut them down or face a fine under a standing city ordinance. One Cleveland paper enthuses that so long as a single rag- weed stands within the city limits, there is no use arguihg that there is no useful work for WPA employes. But the sugges- tion also is made that this is just a barefaced attempt to get the hay fever vote. “ If the elections were held in August, it’s possible that the hay fever folks would roll up a larger vote than Charles E. Coughlin, Gerald Smith, and Francis Townsend combined. Wealth in Tree Planting - Planting of the 26,000,000 tree seedlings distributed to farmers for woodland and shelterbelt purposes in 40 states, in 1935, makes the whole country richer, today and in the future. This seedling distribution is carried out thfough the fed- eral Forest Service by federal-state co-operation, and has no- Lin to do with plantings in state or privately owned timber- ands, They are trees furnished farmers at cost to plant in wind- breaks along his farmyard, to reinforce his farm woodlot, or to anchor his soil against wind or water erosion. Then, for 100 years or more, these trees will work for all of us, holding the soil firm, raising the water table, providing petted shade, and at last falling to serve men as lumber or uel. No person's life is entirely wasted if he has planted a tree. i Television’s Promise To those who are speculating on the future of television, which now seems “just around the corner,” it might be worth while to look back 10 years. In August, 1926, Gertrude Ederle was swimming the Eng- lish-ehannel, the Hall-Mills case was in full blast, and John Gil- bert was appearing in “The Big Parade.” -_.

Hundreds of Delegates from 50 Countries Will Take Part in Great Washington Meeting. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 25.—Leaders of the big public utility industries, gov- ernment officials, economists and operators of publicly owned power plants are working like a happy little band of brothers for success of the World Power conference, which will be held in Washington the week be- ginning Sept. 7. Considering the bitterness with which some of these men regard one another and one another's ideas, this . | Co-operation is nothing short of re- markable and certainly exceeds most previous hopes. The boys will proceed to fight like cats after the foreign delegates are welcomed. Advocates of very cheap electricity, both inside and outside the government, hope to be able to put the industry on the spot and strike some great blows for public power development. Many foreign delegates, represent- ing nations which have gone far to- ward public ownership, will help them out—this being the first con- ference of the sort where cconomic as well as technical phases of power Production and distribution are to be fully discussed. But the ablest men on both sides will be reading the papers. Arguments will be factual and scientific rather than political. * * * Biggest in History This World Power conference will be the biggest international meeting ever held in this country, sume 620 delegates from 50 other countries al-| ready being on the way or now pack- ing their bags. They are the power experts of the world. About 3,000 persons will attend a banquet in the main waiting room of the Washington Union Station, the city’s only place large enough to ac- commodate them. Dr. C. G. Abbot, famous scientit and secretary of the Smithsonian in- stitution, will stage the first demon- stration of his remarkable invention, @ steam engine run by the rays of the sun, which some day may rev- olutionize the power industry. On Sept. 11, at Constitution Hall, President Roosevelt will push a but- ton which will turn on the generators at Boulder Dam, and a man out there will broadcast back to the confer- ence the story of how it all !ooks and sounds, In the audience will be some of the “power trust” magnates who fought vigorously and by many de- vices to smother the Boulder Dam project. Eighteen translators and eight edi- tors are at work on the papers to be read or presented. Simultaneous transmission from the platform in English, French, German and Span- ish will be made into individual car- phonez. xk OK Plan Two-Country Tour After the conference there will be “study tours” to all the important power centers of the United States and Canada—including the great public hydroelectric system in On- tario. Foreign engineers and experts will visit TVA, Boulder Dam, Bonneville, Grand Coulee, Fort Peck and other federal projects, as well as the big private plants and such factories as those of General Electric and Ford. At Seattle they will be greeted by @ committee including local private power officials, but chairmaned by J. D. Ross, SEC member who fa- thered and managed the public plant there, Some utilities officials at first ob- jected to these tours as too much advertising for New Deal power pol- icies, but caved in with a general decision to play ball. The decision was due to a feeling of obligation to pay back entertain- ment by foreigners at previcus con- ferences abroad, to assurances from Chairman Morris L. Cooke that the economics of power would be dis- cussed in a scientific way, and to realization that American private utilities would look @ bit silly and lonesome if they stayed out. The private electric industry con- tributed $100,000 for conference ex- penses after congress had made cer- tain that the meeting would be held by appropriatiog anne Vigorous Debates Slated Some of the warmest debates will include those between SEC -~Member ‘+ E. Healy and President James Fogarty of the North American Co., an organization of private electric and gas utilities; George Soule of the New Republic—a national planning expert—and Chairman Floyd L. Car- Msle of: the Niagara Hudson Power corporation, on national power and resources policies; J. D. Ross and Vice President Norman R.

FAULTY NUTRITION AND ARTHRITIS vitamins, especially vitamins B, C of chronic arthritis. Patients seem to do badly when they take too mi carbohydrate and restriction of the carbohydrate intake alone will often relieve swelling and discomfort in a few days. Arthritis sufferers should take whatever fresh fruits are in season or available, and especially the so-called “acid” fruits or fruit juices, or fresh or factory canned tomatoes or tomato juice. It is a serious mistake to avoid these healthful fruits in the attempt to prevent imaginary “acidosis,” for the fruit acids (except large amounts of prunes, plums or cranberries) are alkaline in their final reaction in the body. Moreover the fresh fruits are the bestevources of vitamin C and good sources of vitamin A and vitamin B. ae le There is some experimental evidence that a habitual insufficient intake of vitamin C may be a causative factor not only of acute infectious arthritis (rheumatic fever) but also of so-called rheumatoid arthritis (otherwise known as atrophic arthritis and arthfitis deformans,) prolonged shortage of vitamin C in the feed will produce in animals a joint disease with many resemblances to rheumatoid arthritis. If there is a prolonged deficiency of vitamin D in the feed of pigs the animals develop a form of arthritis, and this may be prevented or cured by adding liberal rations of vitamin B to the feed. I do not mean to imply that others than pigs is pigs, but after a on of us are somewhat piggish in respect to the delectable carbohy- rates. As a general rule arthritis patients who are not und it, and espe- cially patients who are overweight, should restrict the let inet total calories, mainly in carbohydrate items, and take # liberal amount of protein (meats, ete.) and a rather increased amount of fats or oils. Along with this they should be sure to take an optimal vitamin ration. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : + Keep Your Hair On. What do you think of (a humbug hair growing treatment).

A drop or two of condol in milk will provide more vitamin D units than a whole quart of irradiated milk contains.
