Men who apply the yardstick of sound judgment to their smoking prefer Fatimas, not alone because they give full, honest value instead of "showy" looks, but also because they please the taste and never talk back even though man smoke more often than usual,
Norwich bulletin., 1918-12-18

Here are several Fatima advertisements that have recently appeared in this paper. A hundred other advertisements like these couldn't tell you all the places where Fatina is top-notch seller.
 Not only at the Capitol, Washington
 --not only at big hotels and clubs, East and West
 mot only with the Army and Navy
 mot only at the many other places mentioned in
 these advertisements
 But also at hundreds of other important places in every part of the country In fact Fatima is the only inexpensive cigarette that has ever won a large sale among men who can afford anything they like. ~ x.

of mankind. Many an ancient pag-
an priest has made use of an eclipse
to impress the powers of his goos
and, incidentally, of himself upon the
ignorant populace.
The priest-astronomers OF Babylon
early learned the way of predicting
eclipses, and the Chinese probably
even preceded them. Before 1000
B. c., the latter already had official
astronomers, whose duty it was to
predict the phenomenon and also to
take the proper precautions to ward
off any evils which it might tend to
bring. Once a couple of these saw
lost their lives as a consequence; to-
quite so hazardous.
The earliest recorded reelection OF
an eclipse by a European is that fore
told by the Greek, Thales. This
eclipse happened right in the midst
Of a merry battle between Lydians and
Modes, and it scared both sides so
that they decided to make peace.
Many other interesting incidents
might be told, but for lack of space.
The eclipse is on phenomenon that
every chronicler carefully noted, and
astronomers have been able to set
dates for many ancient events for
which the historians otherwise would
be at a loss.
The ancient Babylonian astronomers
discovered that there existed a GER
tain period of repetition about the
occurrence of solar eclipses, so that,
for instance, if an eclipse happened
on June 8 1918, an exactly similar
eclipse would happen 6585 days later.
This is true for every eclipse. All
the motions which enter into the pro-
duction of eclipses are periodic, /. e.,
take certain definite time to be COM
| pleted and then start anew again, like
| the oscillations of clock pendulum.
It follows, therefore, that, given a
long enough time, any possible con-
| f1guration of the three bodies in ques-
tion-Sun, Moon and Earth-is bound
to repeat itself exactly. Hence the
Saros, which is nothing but the low
est common multiple of the proper
periods.

LIFE UNDER The Boil SHEV|K RULE
IN RUSSIA DESCRIBED BY MEWES

Tntelligentsia class in Russia done to
prevent their country from being sold
body and soul to Germany? Nothing!
The students, who for years have
been preaching the kind of Socialism
that has brought Russia to her pres
ent pitiful condition, have stood by
and watched events without raising
finger, although during the revolu-
ton Of March, 1917, they played the
leading part. On November 6, when
Lenine and Trotsky drove Kerensky
from Petrograd, the only men that
showed opposition to the Bolsheviks
were few hundred Junkers, although
10000 officers were living in the hotels
and apartments!
During five months of Bolshevism
have watched the Intelhgentsia
swallow everything that Lenine, Trot-
sky and company have cared to give
them.
Their safe deposits at the bank
have been confscated many are with
out money, or means of earning any.
Yet with typical Russian apathy they
just wait. Tomorrow! Perhaps. Or
perhaps another day.
So it goes on, and our munitions,
our guns, our money, our effort, are
annihilated---or pass, where portable,
to Germany.
Heavy British guns were sold to
Germany for 200 roubles each. One
Russian division sold their artillery to
the Germans for $4,000 roubles and
were we'll pleased. Our own guns are
now hammering our men on the west.
But I find we are a patient people
Here in London friends come to me
and hopefully inquire: will Russia
fight AGAIN." rs Trotsky a conscien-
tious MANI" Surely the monarchist
party will not remain quiet?"
And when I reply: Russia will not
fight again for the Allies; the Cos
sacks are tired of fighting; the Boil
sheviks are strong inasmuch as all
the other parties are so terribly weak;
the monarchist party is dead unless
given new life by the Germans I am
told I lack faith in the eternal Rus
sian people,"
Perhaps, in a sense, I do. I fee
that the eternity of the Russian
people has nothing to do with a wal
that is not eternal, and which the
Russian people have, alas! given VI
in despair.

PRESERVING.

making iron or tin utesils should new
er be used. The fruit attacks these
metals and so give a bad color and
metallic taste to the products.
The preserving kettles should be
porcelain, lined, enameled, or of a
metal that will not form troublesome
chemical combinations with fruit jel-
lies. The kettles should be broad
rather than deep, as the fruit should
not be cooked in deep layers. Nearly
all the necessary utensils may be
found in some ware not subject to

CONVENTION is
SECRETED FROM
FINNISH HEADS

London, June ga secret conven-
ton exists between Germany and
Finland, which is kept secret from
the Finnish diet, by which the Fin
nish government undertakes to estab-
fish a monarchy under a German dy-
nasty and to place the Finnish army
under German leadership, according
to a dispatch to the Times from
Stockholm, quoting the Socialist news
paper Politiken, which has sources of
information among the independent
Socialists in Germany.
Finland, it is added, agrees also not
to cede the Aland islands to Sweden
and to allow Germany to use the is
lands for d naval base.

At the meeting last night Worthy President Gilbert Drake noti- fled the members that it was his last Eagle night in Fairbanks, as he was leaving for the Outside the first of September to offer his services to the government
 Trustee Oscar Anderson presented his resignation, as he also will be leaving in very short time.
 Thomas Dundon, the worthy con. ductor, has preceded the pair Out side, while Worthy Secretary George Markus has moved to Nenana, so the members will be faced by al most an entirely new board.
 In spite of the great loss of mem bers from withdrawal cards, the re- port shows the lodge has exactly the same number of members in good standing today as one year ago, and the assets of the lodge show more money in the various funds than was shown one year ago. A very pleasing statement in spite of those who predict calamitous peri cd for the coming months.

 TO TRY AGAIN

Late last evening an auto bearing a large outfit of supplies left in charge of Abe McCord for Munson's. With the auto went Dan Sandman and William Gorbracht, who will prospect on one of the tributaries of the Salchaket river.
 Some time ago the two men left for the scene of a reported strike in the locality of where they are head ed for at the present time. but had the misfortune to lose their entire outfit by being swamped in swift part of the river. In making the return trip they were four days with out anything to eat except some water soaked barley. They were not disheartened by their accident, but returned to town and secured an- other outfit. When they will return is not known, but they intend to re" main until the first stages of the freezeup.

GOVERNOR MADE
 VISIT TO CREEKS

. Using the motor car of the Tan, ana Valley railroad as a means of conveyance, party consisting of Governor Thomas Riggs, Col. o. B. Lenoir, Dr. c. G. Martin, and Mayor E. A. Suter, a trip was taken out the line yesterday as far as Fox. Arriving there short visit was paid to the mines operating. On the trip a run was taken out the main line that will go to Nenana, going as far as Bartlett's camp, the pres. ent end of steel at this end. The party arrived in Fairbanks shortly after 3 o'clock.
 The trip on the Nenana main line was of interest to the governor, as the line was constructed during his administration as the commissioner in charge for the Alaskan Engineer. ing commission, with his headquar- ters at Nenana. At the time he was in office the steel had not been laid and the trip yesterday was over a part of the line he was instrumental in building.

Town Gossip and Stories
By The Tattler.

TOOLS Quite often when IS ever one is standing TOOLS near where some
 large task is being done they often hear comments and criticisms on the methods employed and a pessimist often has some dis paraging thing to say about it on those lines. The following little story will aptly illustrate the point in question:
 An onlooker shook his head as he watched steam shovel bite off earth by the ton. He said: Tt throws men out of work; it loads those cars faster than hundred men with picks and shovels could do it."
 But another onlooker answered:
 See here, mister, if it would be better to employ hundred men with picks and shovels on this job, wouldn't it be better still, by your way of thinking, to employ a thou sand men with forks and table. spoons?"

TO
 THE GOVERNOR
 AND MRS. RIGGS

The reception rendered by the city of Fairbanks to Governor and Mrs. Thomas Riggs last evening at the Masonic Temple was beyond ques- tion the greatest social success ever held in Fairbanks. The spacious parlOrs of the Temple were trans formed into a bower of beauty by the tasteful arrangement of numer- ous cut flowers.
 Governor and Mrs. Riggs arrived at the Temple shortly after 8:30 and from the time of their arrival until 10:30 they were busily engaged in receiving the citizens of the town and vicinity.
 In the receiving line were Mayor and Mrs. E. A. Suter, Governor and Mrs. Thomas Riggs. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Clark.
 At the conclusion of the reception the guests repaired to the hall on the lower floor to indulge in dancing. During the program of dances the following numbers were rendered.: "The Star Spangled Banner-Mrs. O.

 At midnight the reception came to an end, and after an exchange of courtesies the guests departed, carry ing the memory of an enjoyable ev- ening with them.
 Both Governor and Mrs. Riggs are deeply appreciative of the attention shown them during their stay in the city and express regrets that their stay could not be longer.

 Our soldier boys left at 10 on Jacobs and barges. All in fine spirits and good health. They send their regards to all friends and loved ones left at home.

 The above message was received last night from Panama and express es the cheerfulness with which the boys left for the States and prob ably for the front. That their thoughts were with those left behind is also evidenced.
 It will be a matter of pleasure to those who went on the excursion to know that their visit was timely and was grand token of esteem for the boys from this district
 It is not known where the boys are destined, as that is a secret, but it is known that a transport will make round of calls at all the forts and assembling places on the coast within the next few days for the purpose of taking the boys to the States. The best wishes of all Alaskans will attend the boys on their journey and wish them a speedy return to the Land of the Midnight Sun.
