VALDEZ

lT HE TOWN OF VALDEZ is situated at the head of
 = Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and is djacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and, fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns it's own wharf and the Valdez Dock Con- pany, which also owns splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites.
 VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubroozns and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States.
 Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez. making this city their quitting port, and drawing from it's reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely: falls below -ls in the win- ter. and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States. --...- .,--

o. it has heen bad-some Of it just
and some of it unjust Some of 1t may
have been deserved, but Il great deal
CT it has beer vile and contemplate.
"ln every case the undertaking has
been of something done, something
achieved, some constructive action
taken, undertaking by some one who
never did anything, never achieved
anything, who' never sacrificed any in
goal, but whose whole life has been
passed in the 5elf-indulgence of criti-
cising others.
ut is easy enough after a compl-
Gated situation has been disposed of
ty balancing Of possibilities and
determ nation of a course of action,
which in all human endeavors has in
it possibilities for failure as we'll as
success, to point out how much bet
ter it could have beeh done. And our
undertaking has been based entirely
the fact that all business involves the
necessity for action, that the business
man is confronted every day of his
life with the necessity OF doing some
thing and that his action in every case
is merely a process of minimizing, as
far as he can, the chances of failure.
Sermons by Politicians
A familiar incident of this attitude
has been the edification and enlight-
cnment of business men at gatherings
ines of Office holders and ex-offlce
holders. These preachers have usually
occupied modest and inconspicuous
positions in their respective communi
ties, but have been elevated either by
the suffrages of the people, or by the
appointing power, to important official
positions and with this elevation seem
to assume they are invested with a
halo and that certificate of election
or appointment confcrs omniscience on
subj ects of which they have been pre-
viously wholly ignorant. This results
usually in a sermon--a rather patron
izing and condescending sermon, to
business men, pointing out their short
comings and indulging in Sunday
school maxims as to the value of hon
euty a quality of which it is common
ly understood politicians possess a
monopoly.
"This hostility has also manifested
itself in various sections of the coun-
try in an antipathy to Wall Street as
Wall Street which, in some sections of
the country, is the all inclusive term
for the City of New York, the State Of
New York and, some times, the entire
Atlantic seaboard. 1t is best illus
trated by the Socialist who, Walter
Lippman, says, actually believes that
eugenics is Wall Street conspiracy
in order to sterilize the leaders Of the
laboring classes. 1t is also illustrated
by resolution, introduced in the
House of Representatives little over
a year ago by Represe sentative Cary, of
Wisconsin, that in raising an army by
selective conscription. first selection
! should be made from
"'such male citizens of proper mill
tary age as are officers or members
of the New York Stock Exchange, or
any other similar body, or officials in
banks, lawyers, magazine writers and

ductive pursuits

On a Cash Basis

If we may judge from the action Of
the money market during the last five
months, the strain of the ensuing three
months will be met without adverse
consequences. If any special relief is
necessary, the existing machinery Of
credits will be supplemented by the
operations of the War Finance Cor
roration, which is now organized. 1t
will be necessary for the capital issues
committee. which through legislation
now has legal standing, to continue its
restraining influence upon new capital
creations. and it will be an act of
prudence on the part of individuals
to keep their affairs in as liquid con-
dition as possible. Fortunately, the
business of the country is more nearly
on a cash basis than ever before, and
now that new revenue legislation is
certain at the present session of Con-
gress, the need for conservatism in
new Undertakings is all the more i'm
perative until the uncertainties in this
connection are removed by the enact
ment of the new revenue law

The New York banks greatly
strengthened their cash position last
week, increasing the surplus reserves
by approximately $125,000,000 and
making the total reserves in excess
of legal requirements $171 100000.
This is the largest surplus that has
been carried by the local banks in
months and explains to consider
able extent why the banks last week
were SO much more liberal with their
offerings of money. Stock Exchange
call loans ruled at to per cent,
while there was good supply Of
time money at 51a to & per cent
This week the banks will have the
heavy end of the half-year disbursc-
ments to meet, but their cash posi-
ton is such that they should be able
to pass the strain without difficulty.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac.
rlfice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the pnSt year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be.
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 1880.
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them 20 maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ
racy Is success ano that in time of
need it will rise to its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America S
food problem on basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anXiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our. people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances. u
The history Of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

tn HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part of
Russia surrounding VladIvos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted In saving thousands of lives
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho-Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and Is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled ad ices received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 Of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
.anization is attending hundreds of
wounded CZecho-Sluvak soldiers who
have reached EIadivostok after weeks
Of the most desperate fighting against
the prO-Gerlnan forces.
The condition OF the refugees, who
were :ound living in tents and freight
cnrs along the Chinese Eastern Rail
way west of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Rolshcyiki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering TO the
wounded CZecho-SiOVuk fighters, who
stcudfastly refused to recognize the
MISUNDERSTANDING peace, and reliev-
inh the distress Of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo-
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.
On authorization of the American
Red Cross, DR.. II. B. Teusler. head of
