CHANGES GIRL S ARE MISSING
 IN ALASKA

That is, if you want a husband, pioneering. If so, Alaska is the place. : According to statistics, Alaska of fers more chances for the unmarried of the species feminine than any coun- try in the world.
 Think of it. girls! You can take along a lorgnette and give 'em "the once over" and if you don't like 'em you can go 10 another city or village where there are other eligibles. Some where in Alaska you will be sure to realize your ideal. Imagine the joy of thinking to your self that you would like a blonde type of six foot manhood with a lion-like heart and face like a Greek god and have him materialize before your eyes!
 Maybe you like 'em dark-and there you are!
 Possibly you don't care for looks preferring homeIy men-the woods are full of them
 Then, again, if you are looking for abiity-well, if the men of Alaska have not ability of one kind or an other they don't stay in Alaska.
 Possibly you want them to have all the attributes of perfection spirit ually, mentally and physically -- in which case you may find them in Alaska
 There was once a ship that brought group of women to Virginia - and ithis Alaska induccment is cut along the same general lines.
 Seriously, though. there is one thing in general that men do not know, and that is that women are adventurers. and nine out of ten of them have the pioneer spirit.
 Pioneering is one of the things that the women of the twentieth century. this day and date regret not having had a chance in which to display their talents.
 Every girl, from the most frivolous to the most staid and studious, Is sure in her heart that she could have done better job at pioneering than her grandmother or great-grandmother

 Whenever anything is said these days about marriage the bugaboo of economic conditions and finances gen. erally comes poking it's head around the corner and looks the man and the maid in the eye-but in Alaska, ac- cording to the advertisements, condi- tions are hard but fascinating and there are a lot of young folk today who honestly feel that life is too soft for them in the cities.
 Again and again one hears a girl say:
 "Oh dear, I wish I had 10 begin at the beginning of things like my grandmother did, She did not have electric lights, but neither did she have to keep mp front as we do to- day and limousine is a tasty lit tie contrivance - but it surely does make for fatness Besides my grand 
 mother worked beside her husband and now the men won't marry the girls unless they have made stake first"
 Do you think this girl an exception?
 Not at all--the cities are filled with them.
 Oh, yes. there are the other kind, too-the kind who won't marry the
