NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 20 ,1917.
The Boston Transscript opines that
lf Henry Ford is sincere in wanting
to do the greatest good to the great
est number he will put another spring
under the back seat
Warning has been given by the in
ternational institute of agriculture
’l:t the world Is facing a shortage of
vhetit. Users of certain brands of
breakfast foods should worry. So lung
as the saw mills continue to shriek
:aid whine there will be plenty of near
v heat for the first meal of the day ilt
any rate.
The chances ore that those one bun
dled cow punchers that dashed across
(lie Mexican border yesterday after
!! e Villa bandits, w ho killed a cou
ple of American ranchers, are in 'he
wrong from a legal standpoint but
they are entirely human just the «ame
after the model of the independent
piople who have stood for liberty and
justice in the great southwest. They
know Just what greasers are by long
dealings with them and contra-wise
tilt greasers know what the Amman
cowboy is like. It is hard to foretell
how the punitive raid will turn out,
but the chances are that the Mexicans
will keep out of the way of the cow
punchers. If they don’t somebody Is
K"ing to get hurt.
Probably nearly every regular feller,
and regular girl as well, has longed
n ore or less for adventures with pi
ru’es of Borne sort. We used to read
of taking the canvass oft Long Tom,
as the big gun of the merchant ship
v,as called, and bringing it to bear on
tin murderous pirate of whatever na
tionality the author happened to de
pict.. And we thrilled with ttie thought
of what that smashing round cannon
H it would do to the staunch wooden
sh'p. In the light of recent develop
ments all that was indeed only child’s
p'uy. For tittilation of the n< rvea
rone of those writers of pirate stories
peer devised anything half so eiTec
tive as is happening every day in
the zone invested by German subtna
nncs. The pirate shit) was visible. The
lighting took place at close quarters—
even Long Tom was good for only a
small fraction of a mile. Now when
the underwater tighter draws near
tit re may he only a little ripple on
tl< water. Many ripples are proba
bly Imagined for every one that is real
and indicates an enemy. Then there
is the sntt.spense ns to whether the
oowefful torpedo will strike the ship,
't here is the rythm'c throb of engines
and the moment of exultation because
the torpedoe’s onrush has been in vein.
The undersea monster comes to the
art face and the small fitted cannon
etash out their salute. One, two, three
et pts and the deadly shells splash the
water close to the enemy ship glist
ening from Its immersion. Then one
shot goes home and the doomed vessel
shows that it is hurt. Another shell
crushes to her vitals *nd perhaps an
other. The doomed thing loses head
way, falters on its course, settles
deeper •>, the water and soon tips up
and sinks. Brave men have gope to
their (trti't but they would have sent
you to the bottom had they baeo able.
And with tlic sinking of one subma
rine all the nerve stimulation is not
over, .mctiier may lie encountered at
any moment. As long as (he daylight
lasts there is ehanec of another sub
tle..-able giving battle, and at night
only there is rest for tired nerves cx
ee'i' for the possibility of collision be
cause no lights are shown. Vos, Indeed,
there is exettement on the ocean wave
a Mis twe.it -il t entury, an I it is
quick action In keeping with the age.
_
The increase ot domestic infelicity,
as reflected in tint growng habit of
di' orce, is made the subject of inter
esting observations and good advice
I by Kuth’een Norris who wrote a
Christmas letter to discontented
hi use wives for the i’ictorial Review.
The latest national statistics indi
j i ated that one of every twelve cou
ples are divorced, and the result of
the next census may bring this rati a
lo'vn ‘.o one out of every ten couples,
j Mrs. Norris finds that men, en
1 f>. oswed in business life, endure the
monotony of matrimony much better
than women who find housework and
home n form of unendurable punish,
mi nt. after some years of drudgery.
"I suppose most women would like
, everything In their lives changed once
1 i year, and I know some who would
i ir up roots oftener than that,"
"litr.s Mrs. Norris. "But the man of
the house never changes, nor sees Hu
mid for changes. Being a woman,
his wife eyes him patiently, or mo
ms, ly, or indignantly, as her n.tur
decrees, urn! looks forward with a sort
| •( terror to the long unaltering years
o come He has no further surprises
for her, and as the years go by, his
vutucs are tuk. n more and more for
granted, and his faults are more and
men evident. He is good of course;
he is kind and true, but he tells jokes
she has heard twenty times; he never
touches fish, and he is fussy when his
fret get wet. She feels that she could
endure violence and neglect for awhile,
anything for a change."
Life is not the simple, practical ex
istence cf the earlier days of the re
public, or even of fifty years ago when
the woman who had a home, plenty
of food and raiment for her com'ort,
had all that w.is attainable. At this
stage rf modern life these necessities
are- only starters. There Is a great
bright world of luxury, of amusement,
of pleasure, all about us. Then there
is the new expansion of woman's
ught-s, her growing power of citizen
ship, her entrance into the activities of
modern life, on a plane with man. All
tnetu sometimes make the dead level
of home and housework decidedly Irk
some.
I eople who undertake to live a
lifetime together assume a great re
sponsibility. There is need for chari
ty s nd the utmost patience, and ?h«*re
is need for man and wife to be busv
|---——
wi h wholesome tasks for heads .inAi
a.,tuts
The tit r gs that make for diseor-l i
are trifles, la m hour most of them
are forgotten, yet many men and wo
rn i n allow their lives to be deter
mined by them. The potent instru
ment for divorce l« the fluent, ready,
irritating tongue. Charity, patience,
less argument and more thought
might lie profitable habits for all who
urt in matrimony to encourage.
JUDGE WAS BOY ONCE.
The attorneys for the prosecution
and defense had bee nallowed fifteen!
minutes each to argue the case. The
attorney for the defense had commen
<fd tiis argument with an allusion to
tin old swimming hole of his boy
hood days lie told In flowery oratory
of ttie balmy air. the singing birds, the
ioys of youth, the delights of the cool
water
And in the midst of it lie was in
ti irupted by the drawling voice of the
judge
' Come out, Chauncey," tie said, “and
put on your clothes. Your fifteen
minutes are up.”
