secret, which may revoluSZlu
the future of the world. The
?? is W?? w.ged. not by troop.
, ens. hut by group, of intrepid
"liters' and scientists.
Until recently the Arctic waa redded
as a land of froxen waste. To?1
it is known that some of the soiled
barren lands are among the
St in the world.
Oil. gold, silver, lead,??inc,coal,rad
Hium, great reserves of fish, game and
Lber are being found in increasing
quantities. It has been learned, too,
th.t in the Arctic are the solutions of
8ny weather problems which have
0 far baffled meteorologists.
Many of the discoveries made to
,.te have been made on land^already
in Canadian or Soviet territory.' But
hitherto unknown islands are now
teing found by each country and'
uietlv annexed. Airplane bases, settlements
and methods of communication
with the outside world are being
established; for it is believed that the
nation which can control the Arctic
may in time dominate the world's
mineral supplies and monopolize highly
important air routes between Europe
and the Far East.
The battle for possession of the
Arctic was started five year's ago
ihen Stalin decreed that "the Arctic
must become Soviet Arctic," and or-:
dained a five-year plan for the purpose.
Canada took up the challenge. Since
then both countries have accomplished
miracles in the vast Arctic wastes,
which hitherto had been regarded as
useless and uninhabitable.
Russia's five-year plan has just
ended, and a report has been issued
showing what she has achieved in
the p?b.ir regions during the past
few .wars. This is what the Russians
haw ih'V.e:
Sailed from the Arctic coast of
Russia, down through the Bering |
Strait- and into Vladivostok in one!
sea.-o: -a feat never before accomplished.
Covered 50,000 miles by sea, 40,000
mile- by land, and 16,000 miles by
air. '
Established towns on land hitherto
regarded as uninhabitable. One of
these is Igarka, which already has
15,000 inhabitants, and holds the key
to the Kara sea, one of the most important
areas in the Arctic.
Increased, by systematic migration,
the population of another key position,
the island of Novaya Zemlya,
and organized it on military lines.
Mapped and plotted navigation
routes along the whole of Russia s
northern borders.
Established on Franz Josef Land
the most northerly radio station in
the world. It is powerful enough to
communicate with the Antarctic.
Settled a permanent post on Wrangel
I-lund.
Canada's activities in the Arctic
have been less spectacular than those
of Russia, but just as successful.
' Canada is not driving whole populations
into remote territories, but is
concent rating on extending her knowledge
of the geography of the Arctic.
Year by year she is increasing her
hold.
The population of the 1,258,217
sijuaw miies. of land which Canada
has taker, over is less than 13,000, but
she Know- every inlet of their country.
an. : has established for their
benefit a vast wireless network.
A'.riaiy Canada is working the
most northerly mines in the world.
In a short time she will be selling
radium from the shores of the Great
Bear I,ake.
Recently she established a regular
air service farther north than Russia
has yet attempted.
To insure food supplies, her scientists
are now working in laboratories
in Ottawa to produce wheat which
will germinate in a far shorter period
than any yet eVolved, and enable
grain to be grown well within the
Arctic circle.
One of the most remarkable treks
in history has just been finished. Four
years ago the Canadian government
bought d.OOO reindeer from the United
State*, and has just moved the whole

the Mackenzie river, to form the basis
Mule Feeding Costs
Might Be Reduced
Clemson College, Sept. 29.?There
are many opportunities to reduce thy
cost of mule feeding without starving
the mule, says Prof. L. V. Starkey,
animal husbandman here, who asserts
that mule feeding is an important
item in the Utilisation of South
Carolina feeds. Here are his comments.
-V
"A 1,000-pound mule doing medium
work requires about 10 pounds of
grain and 10 pounds of hay per day.
If grain is worth two cents per pound
and hay one cent, it will cost about
$36.50 fo"r hay and $73.00 for grain,
or $100.50, to feed each 1,000 pound
mule for a year.
"The average mule in South Carolina
works 3.1 hours per duy. This
means that he is idle about 252 days
per year including Sundays. On idle
days the grain ration may be reduced
50 per cent, which means a substantial
reduction in the annual cost
of feeding and is better for the health
of the mule. *
"Feeding cost may be further reduced
by hnving a good permanent
pasture. Sick, lame, or sore-shouldered
mules may be pastured until able
to work, and mules idle a few days
at a time wjll maintain their weights
on &ood pasture without additional
feed; '>
"Whether mules doing medium to
hard work should be turned to pasture
at night is a much discussed
problem, but certainly mules grazed
on good pasture at night will require
less hay than otherwise.
"Variety and the proper mixture
of feeds have a place in the feedsaving
program. For example, oats
"and grass hay is a more satisfactory
ration than corn and grass hay. When
legume hay and some carbonaceous
hay such as grass hay, corn stover,
Sudan grass, oat straw and sorghum
hay are available it is best to mix
the legume hay with the other or alternate
them.
"The man doing the feeding has
much to do with the total consumption
and cost. Cive two men the
same amount of feed, and one will
bring a team through in better condition
than the other and frequently
on less feed.
iGreat Salt Lake More
And More Freakish
Salt Lake City, Utah.?A freak of
nature and getting freakier every
day?that's the famous Great Salt
Lake of Utah after five months
drought.
With its level at the lowest point
in history, 12 feet below the zero
mark of the biological survey gauge
it is, in many shallow places, just
a step from complete crystalization.
Actually, the salt content is slightj
ly more than 28 per cent, a little
| more than 12 times that of either the
j Atlantic or Pacific oceans and practically
the point of saturation.
Which means that a bucket of
water dipped from the lake and allowed
to evaporate will leave the
bucket 28 per cent full of pure salt.
A piece of ordinary cotton string,
suspended in the lake for six hours,
was removed with a coating of salt
an inch in diameter.
Southern Pacific railroad men report
that in many shallow places the
water is almost like jelly, so thick is
the salt. Piling of the railway cutoff
trestle, which cuts directly across
the lake, resemble huge white pillars.
Stones along a rock fill are
covered with thick salt crystals,
square, perfectly formed and nearly
as hard as the rock itself.
Only once before has the lake level
approached the present all-time low.
That was in November, 1905, when
it wps measured at 1.1 feet below
zero on the gauge. High mark was
recorded during the summer of 1877
at 14.5 feet above the zero mark.

Just A Terrier But
Finds Way About
(Columbia Record)
W, O. Galletly and his Huston terrior,
Bing, wore on a business trip
and stopped at a certain hotel in a
town in South Carolina. They were
assigned to room 314.
After freshening up a bit, they,
master and dog, went down stairs to
dinner. When the elevator stopped at
the third door carrying them back to
the room, Bing jumped out and vanished
down the corridor,. Room 314
was around two bends and past a
number of doors. When Mr. Galletly
reached the room, Bing was scratching
on the door. Not so remarkable,
Mr. Galletly said, for he could scent
their previous tracks.
Some time later they stopped at
the same hotel and were assigned to.
room 414, a peculiar coincidence, as
all the floors were arranged in the
same fashion and thev rooms numbered
accordingly. When the elevator
stopped at the fourth floor, Bing was
off around the flrst bend of the corridor
like a shot.
Mr. Galletly turned to the negro
porter who carried the keys. "I bet
that dog heard the clerk tell you to
show me to room 414 and has gone
on ahead to find it." The negro grinned
widely.
When they rounded the second
bend in the coridor, there'was Bing
scratching on the door of room 414.
The negfo howled, dropped his keys
and ran, "Da dawg's a hant!" he
| screamed.
Mr. Galletly had guessed what actually
happened. The dog had remembered
the position of 314 and therefore,
not distinguishing the fact that
he was on another floor had gone to
the corresponding room.
Bing, as has been mentioned before,
is a Boston terrier and a perfect
specimen, with a five-generation
pedigree. A glance at the ideal characteristics
of the breed are set forth
by the American kennel club shows
very clearly that he physically, is an
exceptional dog.
Mentally, his development is even
better. From the standpoint of discipline
he is all that could be desired.
liis master never has punished
him; always speaks to him in a conventional
tone, but his under-standing
is almost uncanny.
No matter what he is doing, the
word "no" will stop him short. To
illustrate that, Mr. Galletly picked
up an alarm clock and set off the
alarm, Bing went almost wild at the
sound. He jumped up, barking frantically
and made every effort to
tear the infernal thing to pieces.
Obviously it hurt his ear-drums.
Mr. Galletly placed the clock on the
floor. Bing leaped at it.
"No!" the master's voice rang out.
Bing checked his jump almost in midair
as though he were jerked to a
stop by a leash. He whined piteously
and begged to be allowed to get at
the clock which was still ringing but
he was restrained by the invisible
bonds of that word "No!"
Bing is an accomplished trickster
although his tricks usually take a
novel turn.
"Let's have your left hand, Bing,"
the master will say. "Now " your
right, your left now, old fellow; your
right, your right again." No matter
how he varies the procedure, the result
is always the same. Bing always
extends the correct ptftv.
""Say your prayers, Bing," the
master requests. He never orders s
him to do anything.
Bing will place his paws on his
master's knee and bury his head
between them, remaining very still.
"Amen." He jumps up at once.
"You're dead. Bing," the master
says. Bing lies down and gives a
splendid imitation of a dead dog,
scarcely breathing.
"Dead dogs always close their
eyes," the master informs him,
whereupon the dog's eyes close tight.
'Speaking on in a conversational
tone: "The police are coming. They
pick up dead dogs and carry them to
the junk heap." Bing jumps up quick- H
ly. H
One of the most remarkable
things about him is that he seems to 1
understand almost everything said to
him. Mr. Galletly drives a coupe and
keeps the back windows rolled up. I
One day he stopped in an alley beside
a building and went up to a second
floor office. He looked out of the window
and saw the dog standing on the
back of the car.
"Don't you think it would be better,
old man," he called, "to get back
in the car?" Bing immediately .
sprang back through the window.
"Of course he doesn't understand
what I say," Mr. Galletly says, "but
when I reprove him he reviews in his
mind the things which he might
have done a little out of order and
then trys to set them right." ^
Bing is never content when he is
away from his master. He mopes
around when Mr. Galletly has to (
leave him at home and refuses to be
comforted. He can tell immediately
when his master has returned, even
if he isn't around, and goes absolutely
crazy until he finds him.
Bing was a very amall, lonely
puppy when Mr. Galletly carried him
home with him. The first night he

was instttlled in a box beside his new
master's bed. He began to whine
and bark plaintively. Mr. Galletly
stretched out his hand and patted him
for a minute. Never once since then
has ho made any noise in the night.
When his master goes to bed at
night, Bing climbs on the bed with
him and talks to him for a while.
After a" few minutes, Mr. Galletly
says, "Bing, I'm sleepy," or "Don't
you think it's time to get some
sleep?" or some similar remark.
Bing always understands and retires
to his own bed in the corner.
Although he is never punished,
Bing, when his puppy exuberance
leads him into some wrong-doing, always
hangs his head and looks the
picture of dejection in the presence
of his master.
Next season. Mr. Galletly plans to
enter Bing in the leading dog shows
up and down the seaboard. His
grandfather was a . champion. He
may be also some day.
Public Suffered j
Blackwood Saysj
Columbia, Sept. ?2.-Governor Ibra
C. Blackwood said today news that
the textile strike had been ended was
"a matter of much gratification" to
but he asserted national guardsmen
on duty in strike areas would not
be recalled "until there is an assurance
that peace and harmony prevail."
The governor said the strike has
had "a calamitous effect" upon the
South and that it should "in all respects
be a lesson to the people of
South Carolina and all other people."
Governor Blackwood said: "It is
my opinion that however justified or
>unjustified the strike might have
been, it has had a most disastrous
effect upon conditions in the cotton
and textile belt. It has paralysed
ordinary business in that merchants
have been hindered and baffled in
the ordinary discharge of their business
and that workers in all prob-'
ability have %>en deprived of their
earnings to the extent of nearly $1,000,000
a day, according to reports I
have received.
"The processing tax and all it has
meant to the federal government and
the tnxpaying public has been arrestod,
and the volume of income tax
that might have accrued from manufacturing
enterprises has been curtailed.
"From every angle from which it
might be viewed, the strike has had
a calamitous effect upon the 'South.
"I am particularly pleased that the
part South Carolina had in the matter
insofar as the governor's offico
and peace officers were concerned
was to see that law and order were
preserved and the dignity of the law
maintained. It is peculiarly satisfying
that not one gun was fired by a
South Carolina officer, regular or deputized,
as far as I know.
"It was to be deplored that there
was loss of life.
"It should in all respects be a lesson
to the people of South Cnrolina ,
and all other people and should result
in an awakening, a new assess-'
nient and appreciation of the vnlue
of constitutional rights."

Electric Rate
To Be Reduced
i Columbia, Oct. 1.? Following negotiations
between the South Carolina
Railroad Commission and executives
of the company, the Commission on
; September 25 announced its approval
of substantially reduced rates for
electricity to the customers in this
State of the Carolina Power and
Light Company, of Raleigh, N, C,
Those reductions, effective December
1, this year, will amount to $1)4,937
annually.
The total amount of rate reductions
to South Carolina power and
light consumers approved by the Commission
up to the present will approximate
$ 1,400,000 annually.
More than one-half the savings
arising from the new schedules pf
the Carolina Power and Light Company
will beneflt the company's iSouth
Carolina residential consumers.
Under these new schodules, the
rates to residential customers, lot
lighting purposes only, will be as follows:
minimum bill, $1.00, entitling
customer to consumption of ten kilowatt
hours monthly, eight and onehalf
cents for the next 15 kilowatt
hours, Ave cents for the next 75 kilowatt
hours and three cents for all
over 100 kilowatt hours.
In the combination rate for lighting,
cooking, water-heating, refrigeration,
etc., there is no change other
than the company will reduce the
room-count charge and, where water
is heated electrically, tho rate for
consumption in excess of 200 kilowatt
hours a month will be reduced from
two cents to one. and one-half cents
per kilowatt-hour.
In addition to the new residential
schedules, the company has promulgated
a very attractive promotion
rate, caller! an "inducement" rate designed
for the purpose of encouraging
increased use of onergy for tho
household.
Then new gin rate schedule provides
that the customer will pay $3.00
per horse power and an energy rate
of three cents a kilowatt hour for all
current consumed, tho horse power
charged to be in monthly installments
of $1.00 for eacn horse power.
