SOCIETY NOTES FROM

Ole McFadden, the genial come dian of the pest house, awoke with an ear ache today. The other pests suggested calling the doctor, but Ole, knowing that the doctor is a very husy man, felt he would quick ly recover if one of the lady pests would sit at his bed side and hold his hand for several hours.
 While our lady pests are the salt of the earth, yet their notions aDcut some things are, unfortun- ately, cid fashioned, and they there fore refused to administer the balm which would De a sure cure' sc poor Ole is sinking fast.
 The rest of the male pests thor ougbly sympathize with Ole, and Knowing how badly 6 man feels when denied such comforts have de- cided to appeal through the col umns of the Daily Alaskan to the patriotic young ladies of Skagway in the hopes that same pretty maid en will volunteer her services and ccns here to hold Ole's hand for a few hours each evening.

AUTO RACES SCHEDULED
TO OFFER "RED FLOODED"
SPORT AT COMING FAIR

American sports are usually of a
vigorous, red blooded" variety, and
nothing appeals to the sons and daugh-
tiers of Uncle Sam" like a contest
which calls for daring skill and speed,
and In no game will be found a more
perfect embodiment Of these assets
than in automobile racing of type
to be featured at the State Fair which
will be held In Louisville the week OF
September Sl3.
During the two final days Of the
State Fair, racing events will be staged
on the fine oval Of the race track in
front OF the grand stand and many
Of the best-known stars of American
and foreign tracks viii go after estab-
lished records with a savagery which
Is certain to result In surprising
changes in the spOrt-ledgers. During
the 1918 campaign many established
records were wiped out By Sig Rug
dahl, Fred Horey, Jules Ellinsboe,
Leon Duray, Ray Lampkin and others
and 1t Is expected that the contests
this year will develop new points and
bring the automobile features into
spectacular promise as one Of the most
delightful, stirring and sensational Of
ferlngs OF the entire celebration.
Hughdahl, who was a sensation last
year with his famous Fiat Six, has
practically rebuilt his car and it is said
TO be a genuine whlrlwlnd now. AS an
example Of its going quality it may be
said that on last Labor Day at Lin

old records being beaten several sec

TEACHERS SALARIES

One of the crying shames OF our
modern civilization is the fact that
a hod carrier, who may or may not
be able to spell or multiply is in a
position to demand a much larger
wage than does the average Ken
lucky school teacher. It is on a par
with the fact that we have paid
more attention to the condition of
our hocks and herds than to the
mental, physical and spiritual we'll
being of our children.
II anyone can point out more
important factor than the teacher,
apart from the mother, we should
like to be shown. To them is con-
signed the mental, physical and spir-
itual welfare of the children and
what they receive in dollars and
cents by which mankind clothes and
feeds itself would make the hod-
carrier utter language utterly unfit
for the uninitiated to hear.
Let us do our teachers justice IL
possible and repay the heavy debt
we owe them thru the children by
paying salaries commensurate with
the importance of the work they do.

DEFERS SENTENCE
IN LIQUOR CASES

Sentence was deferred in the cases of
Charles B. Renegar and Fritz Sodini,
convicted during the week in the fed
eral court of violation of the wartime
prohibition act, pending decision from
the United States supreme court
The validity of the wartime prohibit
ton act was attacked Saturday by Chas.
M. Bryan. representing Renegar and
Sodini, and in support of his conten-
tion declared that President Wilson
had stated in a message to congress on
Nov. II, 1918, "the war thus comes to
an end" This statement, Mr.. Bryan
declared, definitely settled the disputed
point as to when the war officially end
ed. He. cited instances of periods of
years elapsing before peace treaties
were signed following other wars.
The supreme court of the United
States is to hand down a decision COW
ering this point during the coming
week and its decision will of course,
definitely settle the question. Judge
Mccall was noticeably impressed with
the arguments presented by the attor-
neys representing the defendants and
consented to a postponement of SEN
tence.
The verdict of jury rendered earlier
in the week in the case against Bubber
Woods, negro, charging violation of
the Reed amendment, was set aside by
order of Judge Mccall. Judge Mccall
shared in the contention of the defense
that Woods had been convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence and that
there was probability Of his inno-
cence.
