Alaska. The Golden.

News dispatches state that Alas
ka's products in 1914 totaled $42,-
100000. And, contrary to general
belief, the sea yielded more than its
mines. Its fisheries produced over
twenty-three millions and mines ov-
er nineteen million dollars.
Pretty good investment for Uncle
Sam. In 1867 he bought Alaska
for $7,200,0OO. In a single year
this sum is returned nearly skiold.
In the less than fifty years we have
had Alaska its cost has been re-
turned many hundredfold. And its
storehouse of natural resources has
scarcely been tapped as yet.
For scenic wonders it is also one
of the worlds treasure houses. Gla-
ciers, mountains. waterfalls, rivers,
valleys-no wonder tourist travel to
Alaska is steadily increasing.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Mutt and jeff i'm Mexico" Will be
the Attraction Wednesday
Night March 81.
35 CLEVER SINGERS,
DANCERS AND COMEDIANS
Everywhere it Has Been Pronounced
the Best Musical Comedy of
the Season.

! Wednesday, March 81, will be
Jubilee Night at the Grand, when
Gus Hills gorgeous production of
Bud Fishers famous cartoon play
Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" visits De-
corah. Everybody who reads a
newspaper. has seen the funny Mutt
and JEFF pictures, and to see
them is to laugh. They would have
made the Egyptian Sphinx laugh. No
mere play in the past decade has left
such trail of merriment as has this
clever and musical comedy conceit
by the New York Americans clever
icartoonist, Bud Fisher. Capacity au-
diences have greeted their appear
ance in every town and city fortunate
enough to have secured a date. New
York, Chicago, and Boston laughed
over their absurd antics for months.
Everywhere it mas been pronounced
the best musical comedy of the sea-
son, not alone in words, but box
office records have been established
unapproached by any other attrac-
ton. All of this is indisputable evil
dence of real merit in the play,
which should appeal to you as it has
to millions of other people, whom it
has pleased. Mutt and Jeff in
Mexico comes to the Grand opera
house for an engagement of one
night, Wednesday, March 81.
Mr.. Hill sends car load of magni-
ficent scenery, properties and beauti-
full light effects. Another car load
of human scenery, consisting of 35
dams, not forgetting as pretty
bunch of little squads" as ever kick
ed a pretty foot in line light, all of
which are intended to delight little
folks as well as grown ups" OF
course, the real big laugh begins
when Mutt and jeff" appear, and
it don't relax for minute until you
find yourself ON the sidewalk after
two hours of incessant fun. You'll
be whistling the songs for days to
come and quietly tittering at the
many jokes that you can't forget.
It's play we'll worth a second visit
as you don't get it all the first time,
it comes so fast.
Hundreds have been turned away
unable to secure seats, so don't be
among the disappointed ones, for
they are now selling.

SCHOOL LUNCHEONS.
"A New Idea That is Being Tried Out
i'm Many Cities.

The provision of warm luncheons
In school houses is one of the new
ideas being tried out in many cities
1t is costly, but the results are nc
doubt worth it if city can afford It.
The subject of luncheons for
school children has long been a prob
lem for parents. AS towns increase
in size, school houses multiply. Prob
ably larger number of children
walk home at noon than formerly,
where the two session plan is used.
They should be encouraged to do 50.
A cold luncheon is depressing ele-
ment in the life of a growing child
Many youngsters have been COM
ing up pale and scrawny from the
lack OF a substantial noon meal. If
there are pastry shops and bakeries
near by, parents are apt to give the
children little money for their
noon meal. This may all go for ice
cream, candy, or thin waters. The
substantial cold ham sandwich from
Mothers pantry was far better.
In the old fashioned country dis
trict school, the school house was
apt to be fairly near the homes, and
no large proportion of the pupils had
to carry their dinner. In these days
of transportation of pupils and con-
solidation of schools, a great many
cold lunches are carried. Where this
is being done, it would seem as if
parents at least would want to sub
scribe to provide some hot soup or
cocoa, to go with the cold hand -out
from the luncheon basket.
Children's eating needs close su-
peryision. The hungry boy or girl
at the home dining table will eat
rlain bread and butter with avidity
and relish, and if there is no desert
there is little complaint. Give them
10 cents for luncheon, though, and
more than half of it goes for pies
and cakes.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1915-03-24

What has become of the dear mo-
ther who was proud of the neat
patch she could put on the seat OF
her boys pants? She has disappear
ed because boys with patches on the
seats of their pants are no longer
popular.
We still have the same kind of
mothers, God bless them. The boys
haven't changed so very much, but
the style has changed. It's sort OF
disgrace now to wear patches.
Why, most of us had rather go in
to debt for cheap new pants, and pay
for them at so cents or dollar j
week, than to wear honorable patch
es neatly sewed on, so you can
hardly see EN-
Abe Lincoln wore patches. Wht
will be the greatest man of the next
generation? Who will be the man
whose blazing words or blazing act
will bring everlasting peace to the
world?
Ten chances to one he will be the
grown-up incarnation of some free
kle- faced kid who is today trying tC
hide a hole in the seat of his pants
where there ought to be an honora-
BILE patch.
