ESKIM0s ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
Have No Fear of Death, Are chiIdIike in Nature, Humorous and
 Inquisitive.

In Herschel island, where the sun shines continuously for eight weeks in summer the Eskimos had sun dance, not always clothed in the garments of propriety. They had an idea that when the sun came back it's movements were directed by an invisible power, but they had no tangible conception of God. They had no belief in a future life, either of reward or punishment Today they are religious, truthful, kind to their children and to the aged. They are ambitious to learn; they are prac- tical, extremely industrious, sanitary in their habits, well clothed and well housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu- berculosis is quite common.
 They whale in summer and trap in winter. They are clever in trading, good workers on land, water and ice, and take excellent care of their house hold effects. Tools, if broken, are neatly repaired. When at Herschel island or Fort McPherson they eat the white mans food with great relish. In summer they eat their fish and blubber raw and in winter frozen.
 The Eskimos have no fear of death {; if told that death is approaching they will respond with complacent smile. They are very happy people. Their natures are childlike and they do not continue in the same frame of mind for two minutes at time. They are good-natured and humorous and very inquisitive. Their emotions are sud den and t-lived-uproariously hap py one moment and almost crying the next.

Get Out of the Rut.

Have you ever stopped to consider how much like a machine you are be coming?
 True, your daily duties are perform ed in a way which seems to suit the boss, but you jog on in the same old way, day in and day out, with move ments purely mechanical.
 How long do you figure that you car continue to make good by this course 1
 Ever think of changing the methods used by you for> the past several years, and which lifted you out of the ranks of the ordinary at the time you adopted them, but which are passe at the present time?
 Oh, you are becoming too prosaic.
 There is not enough variety in your life.
 Seek outdoor exercise; you need it. and you should mingle with men of up-to-date ideas; you should visit oth- CT establishments in your line of work and see how things ~are being done there.
 You are in a rut.
 Get out before it is too late.

1uckerman Department

at the home of James Jackson, in Jefferson township, last Sunday.
 The dry weather continues un- abated in this section. No seasonale rain has fallen since sometime in May. Vegetation of all kinds is suf- fering from a lack of moisture. The corn crop in this section is almost a complete failure. The early corn is already past redemption and the late crop is in fair way to failure. Gar dens are burnt up but vegetables are available at present. The hay crop promises to be very light. Cotton which is the principal crop of this secton has not been injured as yet by the dry weather. The real cool nights of the past week or so have not been good for it's development. Should sufficient moisture prevail within the next week or so there may yet be a bumper cotton crop in this section. The plant is well formed, and has been worked we'll and has been en- tirely cleaned of weeds and grass. Many owners of stock are finding it difficult to water them because the natural watering places are all dry and other means of supplying drink ing water have to be resorted to-. Pasturage for stock is also becoming scarce and as a result some of the surplus stock of the community have recently been shipped to the St. Louis markets. (Since the foregoing was sent in, rain has fallen which, it is believed, will greatly revive crops of all kinds.-Editor.)

Every-pay Courage.

The courage of the rush forward, a moment of high purpose born of a sudden impulse, that is one sort. Then there is the stick-to-it courage, and that is of great value. Still an other is the simple resolution to do the obvious right and best thing at the moment, without demur or timid de- lay, and that is the most important of all.
 The quiet courage of every day, that does its best hour by hour, and accepts as part of the days work the losses and penalties that the steadfast doing right must often bring-this is the highest courage of all. It wins no medals, it is never Iauded as heroism, even it's posses sors seldom think of it as bravery or fortitude, yet it is the quality which keeps the moral world from defeat, and makes the common life of the com mon people strong and safe.

 I. N. Greenhaw arrived here last Thursday from Conway, where he had been residing during the past few months. He came to arrange for the family's return, as they expect to make Tuckerman their home again.
 Charles s. Smith, whose home is near Hickory Grove, came in last week from Norfolk, Va, where he has been serving Uncle Sam in the aero of the navy. He is visit ing his sister, Mrs. w. M. Shaver, here, and other relatives in different parts of the county. It is his first trip home since he entered the ser- vice as a volunteer last December. Since entering the service he has been on duty at Pensacola, Florida, and Norfolk, Va, as assistant me- chanic and works on the sea planes. They are very unlike those used on land. They are so constructed that they will float on the water like a boat and can rise from the water at will. As yet he has not been per- mitted to fly but has recently com pleted the course which gave him promotion and he is now in the class that actually drives the planes. He expects to assume his new duties when he returns after his twenty five day furlough shall have expired.

Japanese Village.

Few people realize that in the United States there is village composed en- tirely oe Japanese, who live their lives just as they did before leaving the Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot of interest is north of the long pier, a mile from Santa Monica. Here is the home of number of Japanese fishermen. Their native dress, food and the daily routine of their lives are carried out as though the little will lage were on the far shore of Nippon.
 ! Sundays are to be seen the native sports of the Japanese. The geisha girls serve tea and bonbons to visit ors, while the young men display their prowess at wrestling, jiu-jltsu and other oriental pastimes.

Mrs. Shattuck told most interest

ton had spread In Alaska Conditions
are vastly different there - dwelling
places are so far apart, getting about
in winter is so difficult But these
are reckoned with in advance. and
are not even considered in the pro
gram OF work.
We are doing our work in Alaska
through the United States Food Ad
ministrstion alone" Mrs. Shattuck
said, for we have no other agencies

ed the campaign worked during the
cold weather in spite Of the distance
and difficulties in getting about
Our actual saving in food has real

look so great 10 you. who have such
great numbers of people SO close to-

ence with US is that practically all our
women are homemakeFs. Such WON

problem than are apartment dwellers
or those who live in hotels. We han
die the problem directly. 1t is taken
care of in each home. and that is why
we have a high percentage Of food
conseryers in Alaska.
1T would be an exaggeration to say
that we have almost as many types in
Alaska as we have people Yet that
statement would at least indicate the
diversity Of our population. One thing,
however. that has proved to me that
patriotism and humanitarianism make
universal appeal is that all these
different types have responded with
equal readiness to the demand OF food
conservation.
When navigation opens we expect
TO carry our work far and wide, and
we hope that there will not be fam
lily in all our great territory that is
not doing something for the war, that
seems SO far away, but that is so close
TO US because il vitality affects the
right OF every man to carve out his

The following illustration will prove
that the consumer can save more
money by trading with his home
merchant by the use discount for

All bills will be due, net in 80 DAYS:
but if paid at the time of purchase
or within ten day, a discount of 2 per
cent on the dollar is allowed. If the
account is not paid within sixty days,

Now, observe how, by this DIS

the necessity of having to advance
the price of many of your goods that
have been effected by the rising cost,
while the consumer may continue to
buy goods at the old price and in
addition, realize a direct saving of =
per cent on every dollar for cash with
in Ten days.
Let us take linoleum for example.
Suppose you want linoleum to cover
floor 12xl5, or % so yards. The price
of best quality linoleum has always
been CSC per square yard, and yet you
are paying cents more per 50. yard
for linOleum today than you were
buying it for few months ago. By
doing little figuring you will see that
your 20 square yards of linoleum at
IS cents would cost you Sl3:00; but
which, by our Discount for Cash
Plan, y" allowing you a discount of
percent if paid within ten days, would
only be s12.74. Now suppose that,
instead of selling you your linoleum
at 65 cents and allowing you discount
of percent for cash, we advance the
price of our linoleum cents, allow
ing ourselves no additional margin
however, but merely to keep apaceI
with the rise in wholesale cost. Your
20 yards of linoleum would cost you
s14.0O instead of Sl2.74, or exactly
S126 more than by our Discount for

Let US take another very common
article and a necessity in every home
cotton felt mattresses. We Will take
for example, cotton felt mattress
which sells for S10.25. Owing to the
great advance in cotton, this same
mattress now costs S1.50 more than it
did last spring, and yet we have not
advanced the price one cent. By our
new system we will be able 10 con-
tinue selling you this mattress for
S10.25 less percent for cash, or $40
05. Suppose now, We advance the
price of this mattress S1.50, and toI
this we add 30 percent of the advance
in wholesale cost to help meet curl
overhead expenses and allow us a
small profit on our additional invest
ment, making the retail price s12.05-
just 50 more than by our Discount
for Cash Plan.

again TO see if this plan will benefit |
the man who allows his account to
run longer than 80 days and is charg-

It's an absolute certainty that the

price of his goods to keep up with the
