GRASS

Lying in the sunshine among the |buttercups and dandelions of May scarcely higher in intelligence than the minute tenants of that mimic wilderness, our earliest recollections are of grass; and when the ftful fever is ended, and the foolish wrangle of the market and forum is closed, grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. Grass is the forgiveness of nature-her constant benediction. Fields trampled with battle, saturat- ed with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, anu carnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grass grown like rur... lanes, and are ob- liberated. Forests decay, harvests per ish, flowers vanish, but grass is inn mortal-John w. Ingalls,.

sociated Press report.
 Wouldn't that be better for you and for us and for the town?
 A town is judged outside entirely by it's advertising columns. If man looks at our paper and sees that we are lacking in many industries (be- cause they are not advertised in the paper) he considers our town a dead one and drops us. We lose money; you lose money.
 Our money is all turned back into Valdez; nearly $500 per month; and it is spread out like porous plaster among the merchants and industries of our city.
 We get your money and you get ours It is a fair exchange could we but convince you.
 We are not in the real estate busi. ness, insurance business or in poll. tics, but are trying to run a news paper.
 It is good paper, but
 Cant you help make it better one?
 We thank you!

HELP US HELP YOU.

Have you ever considered what Valdez would be without paper?
 In case the @Prospector and Miner suspended publication and moved to greener pastures and fairer fields, can you imagine how much you would miss the little bit of outside news that comes daily to your door?
 Not that there is the remotest pos sibility of such calamity ever occur ring,-but in case it did what effect would it have on the town?
 We are getting out a good paper. We know that and you know it, with out further argument.
 Have you ever stopped to consider that Valdez is the only town in Alas ka that maintains a seven-day paper? No? We'll it is! Valdez citizens get the news fresh from the outside three hundred and sixty-five days per year, barring holidays, and they are not many. No other town in Alaska en- joys this privilege. and but very few 
 in the States.
 People outside set up and take mo- tice of these things, and we repeated ly receive letters commenting. upon the fact that the Miner is the best paper in Alaska, bar none, and covers tue Territorial news more fully.
 Our plant is electrified throughout with individual motors, and our ma chinery is new and up to the min ute.
 These things help the town, and, incidentally help us.
 But
 While nine out of ten business p,en in Valdez patronize us literally we want the other tenth. We have got to have them.
 Whatever patronage we receive IS .u..ned immediately back into our plant, in an endeavor to make a bet ter paper More readable, more tele- granh, better illustrated and better printed.
 Why should one-tenth of our citi- zens lay back and allow the other nine-tenths to shoulder the burden.
 The paper is plugging night and day for a bigger town, better town, and for more people and industries It is working necessarily, as we have stated before, to boost Valdez.
 Give us your patronage and we will turn it back to you in better paper
 We have plenty of space left for more advertising, and when the space we now have gets cramped, we will enlarge our paper to a seven-column, or an eight-page daily, with full As

KontrOversy on Piece.
(By the "Sourdough kid.)

Peace is d thing It must be a good thing. Al, the eddicated people hearn talkin is strong for it. Them Iyellow-lege.u book miners that hang around the Buffet Bar and handles them longhandled words ekaly we'll well as they do them Scotch High balls is ranting heap on this hear thing peace.
 Now I'm quite we'll eddicated and fur travel.... But I has to admit that a . of their diskussion goes clean over my dome. And as readin be- ing quite distasteful to me, not ever havin got used to it, has to sap all my nolledge with my ears, which is some large and capable. Well from lwhat.I socks in from them two orr gans peace is this. Now suppose me and Hauser was to get into an argy- ment over a claim as, is ekaly ours. We'll Jennings bryan happens along and buts in to find out what all the rackets about. Well l gives him my end and Hauser gives him his. This said Bryan crosses his paws on his paunch and sits all attention like a chipmunk listens to us spiel our kicks and then pats us on the back and says, Boys, Boys please be friends Let us have peace. So we agreed to let him patch the deal up. Which he l boys always have a half each you'd have jog of trouble getting along so we'll split it into three parts and then we'll all have a peace. Such is what my organs gather to constitute peace.
 Andrew Carnegie is another great gink who is trying to carral the peace market. and from what gather from my humble Associate Schmidty the Bartender, This same Andy always gethers in the biggest piec of all And Hennery Ford, who pays the floor swabbers in his cannery five bones a day is one of these here peace assay CTS to and he collects of them neuter gender female persons and some plain mail men puts them on his spe- cial boat, labels it we'll and feeds em we'll on shampain, frogs legs and setch, SOS they'll be up and goin' when they meet the big bugs on the other side of the drink to make the big pow WOW but things seems to have slipped up some how or other And Hennery got peeved and tied the can on them. But they all got a piece out of Hennerys so it didn't come so low for an averedge after all, and if hennery had held his whip for q while they might a done better yet
 This peace is a pretty old proposi- tion.
 They took piece out of Adam to build eve with and she's been a taken on every since I wonder what part they used to make Carry Nation. Ev- cry so often she ups with her axe and breaks some gin mill winder and then she goes up for piece.
 And in the early days the Indians used to smoke it in their pipes. A habit which some of the long hairs at Washington must have contracted. Yes, it's funny dope alright. Japan wants a piece of China England wants a piece of Germany, Russia wants a piece of turkey and so forth an no one in this world couldn't get along without peace but how we gone to settle this here argument l think these big peace achrokates I hears tell so much about are like what Tom Beasley says about these here infringing engineers hook min CTS up here in this country.

THE TOM THUMB WEDDING.
Was One of the Best Home Talent
Affairs i'm Years.

The Tom Thumb Wedding, given
under the auspices Of the Methodist
ladies at the Star last Friday eve-
ming was one of the best entertain
ments given here in long time.
About sixty children of Decorah,
ranging in age from three to thirteen
took part, and they acquitted them
selves Handsomely. When the curtain
went up sixty little red chairs greet
ed the audience, and they were rapid
| ly filled up by the different young
couples who came to attend the we'd
ding. Each couple were introduced
as they came in and given the names
OF different local people. The first
couple to arrive were Mr.. and Mrs
Fred Conoyer," and later on a dis
satisfied lover appeared and he was
hailed as Mike Harmon. AS the diff
ferent couples appeared they ELECTED
hearty applause.
Alta Lang and Eugene Gibbs were
the bride and groom, and they were
attended by Elsie Perry as brides
maid and Arnold Williams as grooms-
man. The parents and grandparents
were also there. The brides parents
were Harlan Musser and Marie Ro-
ney, the grooms Virgil Kuntz and
Muriel Williams. The grandparents
of the bride were Marvin Little and
Marion Urban, and the groom's, Allen
Renaas and Geneva Wells.
The officiating clergyman was Or
Vile Schmidt and his wife was Kath-
crime Schamel.
FRITZ Feefe and Lloyd Strand act
ed as ushers and placed everybody
in apple pie order.
The director who put the play on
only arrived in Decorah Thursday
and to train the children in two days
time in the manner she did, not only
speaks well for her, but is big COM
lpliment also to the children who car
ried out their parts in a capital man
Iner. The director stated that she sell
dom came across a lot of children as
good as these happy. bright little De-
Eeorahians.
The Methodist ladies' cleared $37.0o
on the project. Besides the wedding
program, Manager Relf of the Star
put on big run of pictures, and TAX
en- all in all the evening was a most
enjoyable one..

THE SOUR GRAPES IN MAINE.

The democrats are now saying
that they did not expect to win IN
Maine. Then why did they send five
cabinet ministers into the campaign
in that state? asks the Cedar Rapids
Republican. When half of the
presidents advisers in Washington
are rushed 20 the fighting ground,
does it indicate that they did not ex-
pect something in the way OF vic
tory? Nor is the now made state
ment that Maine is a rock ribbed re-
publican state Historically true. Six
years ago, before there was a Taft
Roosevelt split, the democrats car
ried the state by 10000, and it has
been debatable ground, politically,
for many years. The present COVER
nor of the state is a democrat and
the prohibition issue had something
to do with his election.
Maine is a good testing ground for
the nation. 1t has all the political
elements of the nation in its make
up and they are swerved by the SEN
timents that prevail in the nation. AS
Maine goes so goes the nation is not
yet an untrue statement. AS a Tore
caster the democrats will have TO
accept what Maine recorded on Mon
day, Sept. IL.

AUCTION BROUGHT So. 80.
Big Sum Realized at Football Bene.
fit Supper at High school.


There is no question now, but that
Geo. Baker, the young lumberman,
will have to divert some OF his atten-
ton from counting two-by-fours, and
making estimates on lumber bills,
and go on the auction platform. Last
Friday night he "cried"~ a sale at
the high school building. and he GER
tainly got the money. He auctioned
off baskets, of seatbles, the proceeds
|of which go for the benefit of the high
school foot ball team. Bakers wealth
of humor made the bidders all feel
good and they came across in great
shape, with the result that $3.50 was
in the eXchequer in short time.
Coach w. B. Heller has "a candi-
dates for the eleven reporting regu-
lar for practice. None Of the candi-
dates have had any foot ball expert
ence, and naturally it will be hard
task to get them in shape. Neverthe-
less there is lot of enthusiasm, and
prospects are bright for a fast team.
The first game will be played Oct. 8.
