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 adjacent 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 Com pany, which also owns a 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 clubrooms 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 out6tting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor.
 The climate is very healthful, the
 extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury
 rarely falls below -l5 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 l Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal
 of the government military high
 way to the Interior. During the
 summer months autos may reach
 Fairbanks from Valdez in 36
 hours running time, over a fine
 road, through the most magnih-
 cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. Tn winter teams
 or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has number of first class hotels and restaurants, and
 the traveller and miner can be as-
 sured of comfortable lodgings 2 minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so ar our stores far cheaper than in the States.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION is
AGAINST ALCOHOL.


The following are excerpts from the
inaugural address OF DR.. Arthur Dean
Bevan. president OF the American
Medical association. at the annual
meeting OF that body:
Each member Of the medical pro-
fession. each county medical society.
each state medical society. should take
an active part In the propaganda
against drink and secure national pro-
hibition not years from now, but now,
when 1t Is SO badly needed and will
accomplish so much good not only for
our boys In khaki and in blue but for
the nation In arms.
"There can be no doubt Of the In
furious effects Of alcoholic drinks on
both the physical and mental well-be-
ing Of our population. There can be
no doubt that the greatest single factor
we can control In the interests Of the
public health Of the nation would be
the elimination Of alcoholic drink.
Il want to plead for the united &c
ton Of the organized medical profess
sion Of this country to secure protec-
ton by law against the injury that
drink Is doing TO our people, not as a
political measure. but as the most Inn
portnnt health measure that could be
secured In this crisis, when we and
our allies are fighting not only for our
selves but also for humanity and civ
we must organize the entire
nation In the most efficient way pos
slble. and this cannot be done without
drink"
The address Of Doctor Bevan was so
enthusiastically applauded as to leave
no doubt of the approval of the three
or four thousands Of physicians and
their friends In the audience.

mouth, Where Poet Was Born,
Is Still Standing.

Cockermouth is one Of those Eng.
lish villages Of the lake region where
you feel that you would like to spend
your declining years in cottage with
the inevitable English ivy and gar
den decorated with borders Of perl
Wrinkle and other old.fashioned flowers
A river following a twisted course
through Cockermouth completes the
peaceful, back-to-nature atmosphere Of
the village.
You might easily spend some time
in Cockermouth before you discovered
that 1t was Wordsworth's birthplace
The historic home is still standing, tbs
same stolid, substantial British resi-
dence where the poet spent. the greater
part of his boyhood.
The house is decidedly a home for q
student of books and not at all the SORT
which Wordsworth, the nature deyotee
would have chosen in which to grow
up. The yard and garden, however
make up for the unpoetic gray stone
walls. It is shady yard, surrounded
by low stone fence.
The Wordsworth house is not q
shrine for the literati to inspect and
write verses of appreciation on the
walls, or sign their names In ledger
along with the autographs Of famous
visitors and tourists. 1t is a quiet
home, as in the poets day, a home
which you would pass a dozen times
without suspectlng 1t had been the
birthplace Of such a famous person.

THINK IT OVER.

~
The story is told OF an Austrian
school teacher who, being unable I'M
der the laws Of the land 70 give special
antialcoholic instruction, injected into
his pupils arithmetic lessons truths
relating to the drink evil. One day he
gave to them for solution the follow
ing problem: "A father spends thirty
kreutzer a day for intoxicants. How
much does that amount to in so many
months, years, etc. In the course of
how long a time could he, with his
money, make himself independent" 1t
was eight days, the teacher said, be-
fore the answers were handed to him.
The effect on the children was so pro-
nounced that they could hardly be re-
strained from throwing stones into the
saloon opposite the schoolhouse. Yet
the teacher had not spoken one word
against alcohol
After the war is over there will be
imperative need for many reconstruc-
ton hospitals, homes for disabled sol
diers and schools eor vocational train
ing Of the malmed and crippled. Let
patriots ponder carefully how many Of
these institutions could be maintained
and equipped for the amount-$2,0 00,-
000,000-estimated to be spent each
year for strong drink.

Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use Of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeths

dairy cow is the most economical pro-

lower price than they can obtain in
their local markets. 1t is needless to
say that such imperfect and erroneous
IDEAS as to proper and equitable prices
altogether defeated the possibility Of
marketing produce by parcel post.
Business in marketing by parcel post
Gao bessecured and held only by ship
ping produce of high quality and by
charging reasonable prices.
The larger the quantity, within the
postal limits, that is shipped at any
one time, the more economical is the
factor of postage and therefore the
more attractive from the viewpoint Of
cost both to the producer and to the
consumer. This applies both to ship
ments and the return Of empty con.
tainers. 1t would not be economical to
secure half a dozen different kinds of
vegetables from as many different pro-
ducers, but If supply Of half dozen
kinds Of vegetables, or vegetables and
fruits. could be obtained in one parcel
from one producer 1t would be both
advantageous and attractive.
Another advantage to the producer
in parcel post marketing is that his
mail box or local post Office becomes
his shipping station. This relieves him
from any extra trip in order to make
shipment, as the rural mail carrier
takes the shipment from the mail box
or some member Of the farmers fam
lily deposits it at the post Office when
going to call for the mail.
Many farmers often have a small
surplus Of produce, not needed for
home consumption, which could be
marketed if some ready means of get
ting it to a consumer were available.
The parcel post supplies this medium.
There are also many supplemental or
side lines Of production which could
be developed for the same purpose.
Mutual confidence and helpfulness
are needed In order to succeed; coop
Grafton Is needed. Consumers are In
terested in buying by parcel post only
when they can secure more satisfac-
tory produce, some advantage in price,
or both, The producer win not be In

adjustment and continuance Of bush
ness. Ordinary or inferior produce will
not only lose customer but hinder the
gaining Of others. The producer must
aim to give satisfaction by supplying
his customers, as nearly as possible,
with produce which meets their indi-
yidual desires. The consumer must
also aim to give satisfaction by proper
ly caring for and returning containers,
making prompt remittances as agreed
upon and by doing his part in all
phases of the transaction. In other
square deal is needed.
