There is so much activity around
construction yards at Mile lit in the
knik am district that regulations
have been issued governing the speed
and control of autos in the yards.
Employes at Kails crek, Mile 111, in
the Turnagain arm district, took up

O. N. Nelson, who has a 240-acre
farm near Wassella lake, in the Mata
nuska valley, says farm work has al
ready commenced in places and the
people out that way are going to put
in a banner crop this season.
Nelson will seed upwards of ten
acres and Bogard. Capt. Olson and
several others have a larger acreage
prepared.
Nelson told of the Social hall that
lias been built by the agriculturalists
out in his neighborhood and states
that during Christmas time they hail
over one hundred people present at
some of the socials.
He spoke of the lack of schools and
said that more than twenty children
of school age were in his neighbor
hood. The social hall could be used
tor a school house until one was
erected.
The farmers are getting along
splendidly and, with the help that they
are entitled to in the way of roads,
the experimental station to be opened
by F. A. Rader, etc., it will not be
many years until farming will be the
chief industry up the valley.
INTERESTING THEME
IS DISCUSSED BY
REV. J. J. PATTON
The subject at the Methodist church
Sunday evening was chosen from Acts
22:10, “What Shall I Do. Lord?" This
question, said the speaker, is asked
many times by men referred to in the
scriptures. The tax gatherers (Luke
|: 12, 1*1) asked it of John, and he
said:
“Kxact no more than that which is
/
appointed you."
The Philippian jailer asked it and
Paul said:
“Saul’s sincerity in asking it mark

in our land ask this question of his
creator with this same determinatioi
and consecration as did Saul, then
would no doubt be a great chance ii

our national life. Again it would to
i a large extent eliminate much of the
present cause of anxiety in the minds
of our national leaders.
Present prices in the cost of living
indicate that for once food is of more
value than much gold. This question
leads us to realize that we are of lit

j ent crisis unless we can give in sorr«

that we wear.
