MINISTER KNOWS HIM.
He Is Strong supporter Of w. T..
Harding.

MT. NJ. II. curtis, knOXVlIle, la.-Ml
Dear Sir: 1t is a desperate case
when men resort to such methods as
are now being Used against w. L.
Harding. He is the very opposite OF
what he is being made out by his
enemies. The methods used against
him are contemplate and are un-
warranted from every point OF view.
Mr.. Harding has the nonpartisan
Endorsement of 11O lawyers in the
town and Of the three district judg-
es of opposite political faith; 5,311
people in the city voted for him ;
seventy-tive per cent of the people
in Morning Side, the college an1
church community where he lives,
supported him at the polls. He has
the active support of r. j. Andrews,
mayor of the city, man of high
character, an active member of q
church. He is the vice president of
a bank. He also has the support OF
prominent churchmen of the city,
such as w. p Manly, of the First
Presbyterian church, and F. A. Nc
Cornack, OF the First Congregation
al church. The former is president
OF the Security National Bank and
the latter is vice president of the
First National Bank. Professional
and business men of Morning Side,
members of the mems brotherhood
in the same Methodist church with
Mr.. Harding made public speeches
in the furtherance of his campaign.
To my knowledge he has the con-
fidence of many ministers. The Min
isterial Association of this city has
never taken nor contemplated any
action in any meeting SO far as /
know and / think that would know
about it, j am a member in good
standing OF the Northwest Iowa con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. I am now under appoint
ment by the bishop to the secretary
ship of the Associated Charities of
Sioux City. For my religious work
|on Sundays l am pastor of small
Methodist church just out of the city.
/ have been pastor of Haddock Mem
orial church, of this city. know Mr..
Harding intimately. i have seen him
from more sides than one. He has
been the friend of the poor and big
brother to little Syrian boy named
Jackie, whose life has been influenc-
ed for good by the kindness and per-
sonal interest of Bill Harding. |
will vote for him because | know
that he is noble and lofty in his SEN
timents, good in his life and highly
qualified in every way for the high
position of governor of the state OF
Iowa
In an intimate talk to about 100
business and professional men
friends of his / heard him say in the
deepest sincerity: IF am elected
governor of the state OF Iowa, there
will be no act of mine that will make
any man ashamed that he voted foI
me" Again | say am for w. l.

and experience.
New Hampton had previously
played two games, winning from
Charles City by a score of 81 to
and from West Union by a 40 to
score.
The New Hampton coach and
players said that so far it was the
hardest game with DEBORAH.
The accident by which Gregg
broke his collar-bone took good
deal of life out of Decorah. His play
ing has always been characterized
by nerve and good tackling and his
loss is regretted by the team to
man. The accident is not accounted
for by rough or unfair tactics by New
Hampton, as they played clean
game throughout
Anderson was star on the defense,
doing great work in backing up the
line. Capt. Schlatter demonstrated
his clever tackling.
Hungry" Evans did good work in
pulling down men at his end of the
line

Alaska this summer for the first time. It was logically pointed out to few of the business men of Skagway that the terminal of a run was always the place where the big curlo and souvenir business was done. Skagway being the end of the run, will have the best bid, of all the towns in Alaska to cop off tkis line of business. First lets show the tourist that we have the goods. the city and the people, and in some way create a desire in their heart to prolong their stay in our garden spot. We are here to stay the tourist leayes and probably never touches our shores again but the remarks he makes to his usighbor about Skagway sticks and is 8 great factor in determining whether or not said netghboT will

The May Fly Lives Only a Day, but
 Has a Cry Time While Re Lasts.
 Foolish Insect! He lives only one day and spends the greater part of il dancing. You've doubtless been a guest at one of their dances. held over a stream on a warm summers evening. You've seen the insects in swarms, leaplng up and down in fancy steps and intricate figures. You've attended the dance Of the May dies.
 There Is general supposItion that Ill May flies live only for a day. As a matter of fact. they will live several days if the atmosphere Isn't too dry Then again they may survive only through a single night Even thls i'm. pending fate cannot stop them from dancing.
 This brief lived characteristic, how. ever, applies only to the winged exist ence Of the insect Before they grow wings they pass through several stages. from the larvae, which live in water. through several mOlts and transfOr. nations. So while 1t Is a May fly only for a short time 1t exists for a longer time, and perhaps we can pardon 1t if 1t dances during the brief period lt lives 10 the air.
 The fly has two pairs of wings, one pair much larger than the other, and two or three long, bFistle- Ike tails. Its mouth is small and soft and not made for eating. The May hy has no time to eat. He's too busy dnncing.- --Phlladel phIa North American

4 STURDY GROWTH

The financial statement of the bank oE Alaska which was printed in yesterdays issue of the Alaskan slows evidences of the healthy condition of that institution. The condition and financial strength of he Bank reflects in a degree the coalition of the surrounding terri tory from which itdraws it's busi- ness. We noted with delight the amount of deposits carried by the Bank, all of which, is a fOrerun- uar of the confidence placed in the institution, its officers and affilta- ions by the people of this section.
 It is our fondest desire that this institution will grow and prosper as Go doubt it will. It hes brought new life into the city of Skagway, new methods of doing business, new blood and Gn admirable set Of r-en to captain the institution.
 Shagway can indeed feel proud that it has been selected as the central bank in the system of that corporatiOn's chain of business. situated as it is in a central posi- tion, tapping the gate to the in :erior and ffeCing tn efinest town site in Alaska, we cannot help but forge ahead if we awaken to the opportunities which lay before us and encourage other institutions to come here.
