 There was a time when a boy had to do the chores before Inc went to school and do the chores after he came home from school But nowadays, if a boy is asked to go on an errand he expects the Juvenile Court to come to his pro- tectlon
 Good resolutions are all right. But any time Duty conflicts with Pleasure. we are going to take a ticket on Pleasure.
 This would be a finer world if you could only make people believe that listening is as much of an art as talking.
 If a man cant think of anything else to lie about he will begin brag- ging that his furnace burns more coal than any other furnace in town.
 The reason why Father Keeps the clock an hour and half fast is because a woman has to have some leeway when she has an appoint ment and is certain to leave the house at S:3O when she should leave at 2.

NENANA OUTLOOK GOOD
(Nenana Naws)


 Conditions will be good in Nenana this winter. This is not an idle statement inspired by desire to
 initiate the spirits of Nenana business men or to pre-. vent the departure of the few who are planning to spend the winter in other districts As a matter of fact the spirits of merchants do need initiating and there are not sufficient number of persons con- temDating departure to bother about The great ma jorty of those who here will remain through out the winter and there is the that the present number of residents of the town will be in- creased considerably by arrivals from other camps long before the ice goes out in the spring
 Nenana is a good town to live in now and it will be better before 1t is worse, better at least than any nearby camp where the opportunities for earning money are no more numerous than they are here and where the opportunities for getting rid of it quickly are without limit Most Nenanaites we be- heve realize this and will remain here where they can live cheapy and safely and keep in close touch with the railroad work Not everyone will have em- Ployment, perhaps but there will be work for many during the winter and spring approaches the de. nand for labor will increase at rate so rapid that the Commission will find difficulty in filling the places as they are created
 Viewed from every aspect the outlook for the winter is good-certanly better than in any other district in Interior Alaska.
