LIBRARY FOR
THE7ERRlT0RY
IS ADVOCATED

A movement is on foot for the estab-
lishment of circulating library IN
Alaska for the benefit, primarily, OF
the men in the hills and the people
living in the remote parts of the ter
ritory. The plan comprehends the
naming of some town within central
location as headquarters for the IL
brary and with branch headquarters
In each of the divisions of Alaska. A
draft of bill that will be introduced
at the coming session of the Alaska
legislative assembly is herewith repro
duced, to give an idea of the plan in
view. OF course, this bill is only a
tentative one and 1t is expected that
revisions and amendments may be
made by the members of the legisla-
ture, when the matter comes up for
consideration
The bill follows:
Be 1t enacted, that the sum of $685.
900 is hereby appropriated for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of cir

Seward and the district libraries shall
be located at Juneau, Nome and Fair.

cations for branch libraries, to pro

ALASKA PRESS COMMENTS


We would like to suggest that the
Seward postoffice employees work a
little overtime occasionally Anchor
age Times.
Cordova sympathizes with Valdez
in the poor mail service it alleges this
city receives. While our service has
not been up to the standard we are a
long ways from needing sympathy
yet. Business has been good and the
paucity of vessels has kept our citi-
zens from imbibing too much Seattle
Spirit-Valdez Miner. t& 4f,
One wonders what the Salvation
Army thinks the Red Cross chapters
have been doing, but what is the use
of wondering when the government,
as was announced several weeks ago,
intends sending cowboys to Alaska to
herd musk OK from Iceland to Seward
peninsula.
The Salvation Army has been doing
a great work in the war, but some
rightfully informed gentleman we'll
posted on Alaska, like Chairman Edes
Of the Alaskan engineering commits
sion, should take an hour off from ZAP
preparation" duties at Washington
and run up to New York city and set
the Salvation Army right about the
"desolate, God-forsaken Matanuska re-
gion. Seward Gateway.
Long distance administration OF
Alaskan affairs by men, for the most
part unfamiliar with Northern needs
and conditions, has long been handi-
cap to the Territory. Denied the right
to govern themselves Alaskans are
dependent upon congress and the
heads Of departments for practically
every form of relief required to i'm.
prove conditions In the Territory, and
lack of sympathy and understanding
at Washington constitute a constant
menace to the welfare of lAlaskans
and the development Of Alaska's re-
sources, notwithstanding the fact that
we have, at the national capital, many
stannch friends willing at all times to
render US such assistance as lies with
In their power.-Nenana News.

ton 1t conveys about the benefits OF
advertising, we reproduce 1t, as fol-
lows:
For many years the strongest talk
ing point in favor of newspaper ad-
vertising has been its great value as
general selling power.
Local and national advertisers have
proven to their entire satisfaction
that newspaper advertising stands for
most effective selling"--quickest and
most direct method for universal an
nouncement"
1t has stood the severest test OF
merchants and manufacturers for
many years past, It Is still subjected
to tests and there are still to be found
doubters, but the proof Of the wonder.
full aid to business building of news
paper advertising Is found daily in
the advertising columns OF newspa
pers.
The great volume of business car.
ried by the newspapers Is the strong.
est demonstrable proof of newspaper
advertising value.
A close study has convinced mo that
many opportunities offered by the
worldwide influence or the daily
newspapers through their advertising
columns are still awaiting keen bust
ness appreciation and acceptance.
7 A careful stury of the classified
columns Of newspaper, devoting con
siderable space to this important and
profitable branch would be the means
of developing many new ideas for lad.
vertising managers and statesmen.
l recall remark made to me years
ago by the late Grent Good: Read.
ers of newspapers throughout the
United States and, Canada are and
have been for many years accustomed
to see the well-known advertisement
of Carriers Little Liver Pills."
Brent Good was not large space
user, but ''the year around" user OF
newspaper space. am probably one
of the few men to whom he gave large
copy. l ran a half page copy OF
Carriers Little. Liver Pills" fire.
quently.
1t was the result of this advertising
that brought this admission from him
that 1.-THE half page copy has been
doubly profitable. It increased the
sale of the article advertised and it
enabled me to contract for advertising
space at better rates, in many cases
than had ever made before."&j,
This incident is but one Of the many
that might be related, which would
demonstrate my claim that newspaper
advertising sells, stimulates and ere
ates the most desired and necessary
objective of every enterprise.

CHORUS GIRL CHICK
Sings a Song, When Asked, for a Nice
Policeman.


II Is q mighty hard task to distin-
guish between chickens, as many a
policeman and constable who has been
called on to arbitrate in neighborhood
disputes concerning the ownership
can testify. But Mrs. Frank Bechtle,
of Marion, Ohio, has solved the prob
lem.
She separated her chicks from
a flock In Oakley Miller's barn here in
the presence of Officer Burt Powell by
an odd little cluck which they recog-
nized. They followed her to the BARN
yard. Then she knelt and n of
them came running to her and jumped
on her knee. THAT Is Maybelle, my
chorus girl chick" she Informed the
wondering p%atrolman. "She crows
when the sun sets and goes to roost
when 1t rises. Hasn't she pretty
legs?" and she patted the shapely sup
ports of her pet. "She sings, don't
you. Maybelle?
"Now sing for the gentleman. BE
has been nice to u.s."
And Maybelle sang. II wasn't a
canary birds song, but 1t was a song.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of q
cold," but whyf We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who con-
tract pneumonia first take cold. The
longer cold hangs on, the greater the
danger, especially the germ diseases, as
cold prepares the system for the recep-
ton and development of the germs of
consumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough. The quicker you
get rid of your cold, the less danger
of contracting one of these diseases.
Chamberlain 3 Cough Remedy has
great reputation as cure for colds ana
can be depended upon. 1t is pleasant
to take.

HINT REFERENDUM PETITIONS
WILL BE CIRCULATED
IN GEM STATE
LIQUOR INTERESTS IN BATTLE
Doubt Constitutionahty Of Amendment
to Organic Law, as Ratified
by Legislatures

Petitions may be circulated in Ida
no calling for a referendum election
on the ratification, by the Idaho legis-
of the eighteenth, or prohibition
amendment to the national constitu-
ton.
The committee of distillers of the
United States, representing the entire
distilling industry, has announced that
steps are being taken to attack the
constitutionality Of the federal pro-
hibition amendment and the wartime
prohibition act.
Levy Mayer Of Chicago, counsel for
the organization, has been instructed
gncy prohibition law after the treaty
of peace has been signed. Action to
bring about judicial review of the
eighteenth amendment, it was stated,
would await the outcome of referendum
elections III thirteen states where pc
titions for a popular vote on the bone
dry enactment have been filed or are
in circulation.
Mr., Mayer advised the committee
that in states having referendum laws
and whose legislatures have ratified
the amendment, the ratification would
have no effect unless a majority of
the votes cast in the elections favored
the amendment.
The attorney also gave an opinion
that if the wartime prohibition act
is unconstitutional manufacture of
distilled spirits, forbidden by the presi-
dent under the food conservation laws,
could be lawfully resumed as soon aa
the war is ended
In their discussion OF measures to
nullify the federal amendment, he
distillers named California, Washing
ton, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, ali,
Ohio, Missouri, Maine and Nebraska
as states where referendum petitions
have been circulated. AS forty rye |
state legislatures ratified the ar'end |
ment, nine more than the neeesSp v
three-fourths the distillers' amour
ced plan Of action would not be carried
out if the people of more than four
states approved the decisions of their
legislative bodies.
The distillers' attack on the war
time prohibition act follows the lines
laid down by counsel for the brewers
in their test suit filed in New York
alleging that the law, having been en-
acted after the signing of the arms
ice, went beyond the power of cen
yress to adopt measures for the nation-
Il security and defense.
