Mr. Baker, commenting on the matter, said the chief problem to solve was the marketing of pro- jducts. He was accompanied on the tour by R. 8. Bragaw, President of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce, A. A. Shonbeck, who owns and operates one of ‘the largest farms in Matanuska Valley and a prominent Anchorage busi- ness man, and Mr. Watson.

We Deliver ‘Terrier's Hatred of ‘Rats Stops at Adults; Loves Babes Believe it or not, Mr. Rip- ley, a Juneau resident has a dog which is poison on adult or half-grown rats, but has- n’t the heart to attack the baby rodents. In fact, if it weren't for human infer- ference, it would probably be rearing a family of eight right now. It happened like this. The dog, a white fox terrier owned by Clare Krought, is justly famed for its’ rat- killing proclivities. A day or so ago it overtook and killed a mother rat in the Clare Krough garden, and proudly displayed its kill to its master. A short "time later, Krogh went to the dog’s house and to his sur- prise found it huddled over eight sightless and hairless baby rats, undoubtedly the family of the old rat she had just killed. The dog evidently had dug up the rat’s den and transported the little ones to its own e| place of abode and was try- e | ing to keep them warm, o e B Farmers Spend More DES MOINES, Iowa, July 3i.— Although they cut their living ex- | penses drastically last year a group of 17 Towa farm families studied ! by the Farm Business Association! spent on the average of $240 more | than their incomes. 1 R e e T C.
