The inflation amendment was of- fered by Alben Barkley, adminis- tration leader, who said “It will re- quire that an adequate wage” should be accorded farm labor in computing the increased costs over H.hose prevailing on January 1, 1941 ‘Whl(.h farmers had to bear in pro- ducing crops.

Only 17,087 saw Michigan open its season, smallest crowd in eleven years. Ohio State played host to only 24555, the smallest opening day crowd since 1933. Penn, with a top-flight attraction, brought out only 35,000, and Southern Califor- nia, playing a Grade A intersec- | tional game with Tulane, counted only about 45,000 customers. Only 12,000 sat in at Cambridge for the Harvard opener and Minnesota, where sell-outs are the rule, played 'before only 22,000.

Alaska originally belonged Great Britain. It was ceded to Rus- sia in 1825. By treaty it came to the United States in 1867. It was then known by the enemies of the pur- chase as “Seward’s Folly.” The price was $7,200,000 gold. But there is a curious bit of his- tory in connection with this pur- chase! We actually paid for Alaska only $2,400,000. The balance, $4,800,- 000 we paid Russia for the expenses of her naval demonstration in Am- erican waters during the Civil War when England favored the South and Uncle Sam needed a friend. Of course, Russia had no love for our democracy, but she wanted |to even things up with England for |the drubbing she got in the Cri- |mean War a few years before. | Alaska has 586400 square miles, | which is about one-seventh the size of the United States. Fisheries, furs and gold mining are the chief | standbys. | But what is buried in those hills }flnd streams and what will come |out of Alaska in the next hundred years would make those Mammy eyes of Al Jolson roll like a land- |slide of anthracite coal if he were lalive to behold.
