ALASKA DOG WILL
 BASK IN FLORIDA

Seattle,-Dash, 0 forlorn veteran of Alaska, a trifle crippled in the joints and with a slight grayness about the snout, arrived on the Victoria from Nome yesterday and is on niS way to Florida. Dash is a dos and doesn't know his desti- nation. but that is where he is gO- ing with his master, B. Kenna.
 After sixteen years of gold min ing in the north, principally around the Nome and Council diggings, MT. Keuna sold his interests this fall, and, he is now on his way to Florida, as he expresses it, "to raise spuds the balance of my days" He is through with the north, and, although he declares he has only a fourth of what he earned there, he has enough to make life in Florida very pleasant.
 Dash is a magnificent, big, shag- gy blact dog, ani was the pet of all Mir Kenua's team dogs, so when the miner sold his dogs along with his other property in the north he could net bear to l. at with Dash.
 Dash and l have seen too much service together on some of the hardest trails in Alaska for me to leave him there" Mir. Kenna said. 'I raised him from a puppy and he has been my friend and companion. There would be no pleasure in talk ing it easy F.. Florida If the old fellow were still in the north. Now that he is too old to work much he might find existence a serious problem. may have to trim his hair when the weather gets hot in Florida, but I think he will be satisfied.
 MT. Kenna, with his wife and six-year-old son, is at the Rainier Grand, and the chief anxiety of the boy is to see whether Dash Is get ting the proper care.

SC, ,OOO,COO CROP OF KELP IS
 GOING TO WASTE IN SOUND

Seattle, Dec. "A years out put of potash from the kelp of Puget Sound would bring $6,OOO,OOO at present war time prices, accord jug to Professor George B. Rigg, of the botany department, University Of Washington. pr. Rigg surveyed the orasent status of the kelD in dustry in a popular science lecture on tho campus Wednesday.
 Kelp is abundant and easily ac- cessible in the sound, he said, and three factories might be kept busy every working day of the year, each producing 5000 tons of muriate of potash yearly. Each would consume 500 tons of the seaweed daily. Or dinarily the years production of l5,OCO tons of potash on the sound would oe worth $6OO,OOO, the av- craze price being about $40 a ton. At present it brings about S4OO a ton.
 Fifty thousand tons of kelp could be harvested yearly along the Pa cific coast, Dr. Rigg asserted. The beds ue rom Mexico to Western Alaska, but are of course not all commercially accessible. All the beds belong to the states adjacent and no laws have been passed re- strictiUg the harvest. The kelp is free t. anyone who wants it.

CHILD LABOR LAW
By Rheta Childe Dorr

Apropos of suffrage battles lost this year in four states, the chil- dren working in the cotton mills and other factories of Georgia will go cn working tor the present, the legislature having refused to provide for enforcement of the very mild child labor law passed last year.
 Through desperately hard work done by the women's clubs, the sufrragists, the child labor com mittee, the labor unions, and Oth- CT friends of children, the law was squeezed through the Georgia legis- lature raising the working age of children from twelve to fourteen. The disgraceful exemption Of those children whose parents needed the earnings of he little hands was made in the bill, and there were one OF two others. Still the ma jUrity of Georgia children were pro 'ecteI under the law, or Eaey would have been had any adequate means been provided for the laws en- Gorcement.
 The legislature charged the en- Gorcemen. of the law on the state commissioner of commerce and la bOr, giving bim two office assistants. In addition the commissioner was charged with the "couection, col latiou and dissemination of informa- tiou and statistics concerning la bor in it's relation to capital; To- cation and capacity, and output ot mills and factories; quantity of raw material used by them annually; To- cation and horsepower of valuable water power, etc" When the com missioner had done all these things he was at liberty to go through the hundreds of mills and factories Of the state and elfOrce the child la- Dor law
 For years there has slumbered in the pfgeonboIes of some obscure committee of congress a federal child labor law. It is a good law, and & deadly efficient one. It for bids interstate commerce in all goods made or packed or in any wal manufactured, handled or sold by any child under fourteen years of age. The southern congressman are very generally opposed to that bill. They say that it strikes a blow at the sacred doctrine of states rights.
 So it does, and so does another bill that will be before congress next year, the bill for a federal wo- man suffrage amendment Both of these blows at lhe sacred doctrine Of states rights will fall. Both bills will pass.-Cleveland Leader.

MOUNTAINEERING MERCHANTS


Publishers Auxiliary: Although
merchants in the smaller towns and
cities throughout the country are the
ones who complain most bitterly OF
the competition of mail-order houses
many of these very men refuse te
adopt the means which made competi
tors prosper-advertising. In a re-
cent issue of the Chatham IN. W
Courier, the editor makes some very
interesting and pertinent remarks re-
garding the non-advertising merchant:
"The country merchant deplores the
fact that the mail order houses e
making inroads on his patronage. How
did they do it, Did they send repre-
sentatives into the rural communities
to solicit trade? Did they simply open
their places OIL business and wait for
customers9 They did not. They Oh:
tanned all-not part of ALLCot
their patronage by the use of print
ers' ink. They advertised. The aver
age local merchant does not seem tc
realize, even with this gigantic object
lesson before him, that the means EN-
ploved by these concerns are also at
his disposal. Through the medium of
what they have to sell.
"Experience has shown that quail.
ty for quality the local merchants
prices are no higher than those Of the
mail order houses and they save the
purchaser transportation charges. The
difference is that the mail order house
tells the public what it has to sell and
the non-advertising merchant does not.
"The latter frequently advances the
argument against advertising that ev-
eryone knows where his store is and
what he has to sell. He is wrong. Ev-
eryone does not know what he has to
sell. If he doubts this let him COM
pare his present stock with that OF
five years, three years or even one year
ago and note the many new things he
has on his floors or shelves, new things
that are the product of inventive &C..
MUS or Of changing fashions. He keeps
ABREAST Of the market changes but all
his customers do not, hence they do
not know what he has to sell.
"And there are object lessons near
er home, i. e., the large and prosper
GUS city department stores. They
realize the power Of advertising and
make liberal use of it.
"These city concerns are taking ad-
vantage Of the inactivity Of the local
along advertising lines AMI
the space he declines to buy in local
is being bought by them.
This has resulted in bringing to their
stores hundreds Of customers from the
smaller places and it has also been a
factor in creating in these stores large
where are received by
mail, orders from persons who do not
come to the stores but who find in the
concerns advertisements mention of
various articles they want.
"Some day the small town merchant
will realize the Importance Of advsTtis-
ing as factor in business but in many
cases the awakening may come too
late.'
