come acquainted with the fact
that we are living in a country
filled with amazing possibilities
Tor development, that there are
stores OF riches still untouched
greater than those which made
our name a household word
throughout the world; and that
much could be done to make them
source of profit to ourselves.
How it is that this has happen.
ed is hard to guess unless it be
that we have at last grown weary
of waiting for a prosperity that
would not come, and hunt us up
and have resolved to try and do a
bit for ourselves So far we
haven't done smuch but, we are
getting started. We have rustled
up enough energy to make an at
tempt to secure the pumping and
lighting plant-that should have
been instituted years ago. That
effort alone is something. We
may never get the pumping plant,
etc, but we are giving evidence
that we are willing to make try
in that direction, The coal pile
may be a dream that will not be
realized for many long day but
we have made a start TO get it
and there is little reason to doubt
that if we keep after it it will
ultimately become ours,
1t all depends upon ourselves.
We have taken the initial steps
and if we want further progress
we must work. And the same
applies to practically everything
else that We need If we want
them we must go after them and
keep busy until we get them. If
We want roads or the harbor, or
cheaper transportation we must
work until we get them. II we
want to go ahead in any direction
we must work to that end. Care
lessness and slothful idleness
won't get us anything.
We have got started now and
if we have the least bit of gump-
ton we will keep going until we
have either achieved something or
proved the worthlessness of striv-
ing In any event we will have
saved ourselves from falling to
sleep altogether and that alone
will be some benefit
We stand to win something and
we can't lose much so we should
by all means keep going now that
we have made a start.

THURSDAY, APRIL s, 1916

The ratification of the proposal
to bond the city, for the purpose
OF instituting a municipal lighting
and pumping plant and coal yard
is seemingly an excellent indica-
ton that Nome is at last waking
up to the fact that it is time to get
busy at doing something to inn
prove the present state or condi-
ton OF things instead of waiting
in slothful idleness, as we have
done for the past decade, for the
miners or somebody to bring
something to us while we set in
Our easy chair.
And it is truly time that we
come to a realization that no one
is going to do anything for the
town except the people in it. If
we want to go ahead, if we want
to better conditions we have got
to do it ourselves.
The policy of watchful waiting
OF the past eight or nine years
has long since proven to be a
snare that brings no results save
possible dissolution. How we
have endured the years of steady
decadence without making some
effort to improve things, passes all
understanding.
How in the world could we ex-
pect things to pick up" while we,
ourselves, remained absolutely
Idle? Year after year we have
watched the camp drift slowly
from good to passable and passa-
bic to worse and all the while it
never occurred to us to spend a
trifle of the energy devoted to
complaining to doing something
useful
1t is only in the last four or five
months that we seem to have be-

LATEST PORTABLE TELEPHONE


Washington, April 10.--A portable
telephone, made of aluminium and
weighing 21a pounds, the invention of
a Forest officer, R. V. Adams, of Mis-
soula, Montana, will be part of the
regular equipment of patrollmen on
the National Forests and coming field
season. This instrument is regarded
as a great improvement over the set
formerly used, which weighed ten
pounds.
1t is said that a field man equipped
with this telephone, a few yards Of
light emergency wire and short
piece of heavy wire to make the
ground connection can cut in any
where along the more than 10000
miles of Forest Service telephone
lines and get in touch with the head
quarters of a supervisor or district
ranger. To talk, one end of the emer-
gency wire is thrown over the tele-
phone line, the two ends are connected
to the portable instrument, and the
instrument is connected to the ground
wire. The end of which must be
thrust into the damp earth or in wa
ter. Contact with the line wire is
made possible by removal of the in
sulation from few inches of the
emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not
ring the bell of the receiving tele-
phone, but instead causes a screaching
sound from small megaphone-shap-
ed apparatus descriptively known as
"howler." This instrument is in
stalled at the ranger station telephone
and is said to give effective notice
that some one is on the wire. If the
field man needs to talk with someone
elsewhere on the line, the ranger sta
ton instrument can be used to ring
up the person wanted, when the con-
versation can be carried on.
Forest officers say that these port
able phones are especially valuable in

The position taken by Senator
Cummins will commend itself to pa

who realize the imperative necessity
of being prepared to defend their
homes if the occasion should arise.
1t is not so much to prevent the maxi
ers of munitions of war from making

disturbers of the peace.

MERCHANTS SHOULD NOT
ADVERTISE ON FENCES

"a farmer has as much right to
paint sign that he has butter and
eggs for sale on the front window of
the best store in town as the mer-
chant has to paint his signs all over
the farmers barns and front yard
fences" was the statement of J. b.
Powell, instructor in advertising at
the University of Missouri at Column
bia in a speech before the Commercial
Club of Hannibal recently.
Mr.. Powell said that merchants
should cease the use of this primitive
form of advertising for farmers are
now reading newspapers. He told of
several cases where ornamental con-
crete bridges on good roads have been
practically ruined from the standpoint
of beauty through the painting of
signs by merchants in nearby towns.
He said that this kind of advertising
would never get any business from
the farmers who put up the money
to build the roads and bridges.
"You will not find any mail-order
house signs on the sides of barns or
on fences, but you may find the name
of the mail-order house on the ship
ping tags that brought these articles
to the farmers home. Mail-order
houses respect the farmers intelli-
gence by sending him an attractively
printed book from which to order mer-
chandise. No wonder they get the
farmers confidence and business"

HOUCHIN SHOWS UP GARD
NER LAND BANK BILL
Law Drawn by City Man No Help to
Farmer.

Law Drawn by City Man No Help to
Farmer.
Many people have said to me: 1--WE
want rural credits system but we
think the Gardner Land Bank Bill is
vicious law-shall we vote for the
constitutional amendment? / reply
BY ALL MEANS, VOTE FOR the
amendment. Then enact law that
is not joke and is not vicious. The
Gardner bill would be funny if less
dangerous; that is true-it was not
drawn for the farmers nor by the
farmers. 1t was drawn by a city man
to get farmer votes.
1t is no good because it limits the
loan to so per cent valuation. Farm
ers can get that and more without a
land bank.
1t is NOT A LAW. 1t is merely q
SCRAP Of paper" for which power
full lobby forced an endorsement
through the Legislature. Even il
this Amendment carries, the Gardner
bill will be as dead as any measure
that went into the legislative scrap
bag. 1t was unconstitutional when
endorsed and a change in the consti-
tuition now cannot breathe into it the
breath of life.
1t is vicious because 1t puts the ad.
ministration of the land bank in the
hands of partisan politicians, and un.
der its craftily worded provisions
those politicians could perpetuate
themselves in office.
A LAND BANK must do more thar
regular loan companies will do. Wher
an applicant shows honesty, integ
rity and enterprise he should be per
mitted to borrow rs per cent or more
as in other countries.

GIVE TEETH ATTENTION

Crooked, twisted, knarled and de-
formed teeth are a source of danger
to the child, family and state as we'll.
Buck Teeth Ben soon gets too sensi-
tive to be in touch with his playmates,
and he stays in the background
getting further and further away
from his fellows.
The child is in danger of being a
recluse, a backward. Dentists are to
be found all over the land. Call on
them.
In every State, in almost every
county you will find people, societies,
calling the attention of mother to the
necessities of dental cleanliness,
Clean the teeth. You will find that a
clean tooth never decays-you will
find dark spots on the teeth under
which Turk small germs that eat holes
in the teeth. Get little orris root
and a good brush and rub your teeth.
Get a brush for the boy and one for
the girl. When you find the teeth
and gums sore, bleed, the teeth fall
ing into holes, the gums separate
from the teeth, black spots on the
teeth inside and outside of jaw, there
is bacteria on the teeth; little fluid
ergan will destroy the germs. If the
teeth are in the last stages of decay,
see a dentist.
Don't wait until you have lost your
best teeth to look after your mouth.
Watch the boys and girls mouth.
Disease often comes from decayed
teeth.

President Crooked Teeth Society.
