\ copy of the Dawson News dated June 27 tells of aninterest- ing gathering in Dawson on the previous night. It was the grand Midnight Sun festival ball in honor of the Sunners-the eXcursionists from all parts of the continent who came to the Arctic Circle to witness the wonders of the Midnight Sun. The proceeds of the ball went to the aid of the Dawson veterans of the war.
 Five hundred people were pres ent, I5o of them being Summers. A short program preceded the dancing, and was made memorable by the fact that Mrs. Carrie lacohs- Bond took a prominent part. Her opening number was series of stories, which she told delightfully."-. Other numbers by Mrs. Bond in cluded the following from among her many songs: My Son, Opt in tie Fields With God,' and "rAe End of a Perfect Day. For tll of these she played her own ac- compartment. A beautiful Indian basket filled with Yukon orchids was given Mrs. Bond by the La dies Auxiliary just as she conclud- ed her program, and the audience gave her an ovation.
 Mrs. Bond was a Wrangell visiS tor while the Princess Mary was in port the night of the Fourth.

At the annual convention Of the American Federation of Labor al Atlantic City last month, the dele gates from Washington made d creditable showing when the subject nf national prohibition came up for discussion.

 Nearly all the big labor organi- cations of the country voted for the resolution. The blackslniths, spin ners, stereotyl CTS and delegates of the Teachers Federation of Amer ica all voted against it. The boll- ermakers and iron shipbuilders, the longshoremen and the typographical organizations split their vote.

From U. s. Collector of Customs
 John W. Troy, of Juneau, Alaska, has been received the monthly state- ment of shipments of merchandise from Alaska to the United States during the month of May. This report shows the total valuation for the month ! $566, 3Io, which compares with 2.4S3, 67o for the month of May, 1918, and s2 .43o,446 for the month oi May. 1917, the principal reasons for the heavy decrease being credited to the falling off in he valuation of copper and fish.
 No mention k made of the gold which IS also failing off but the re- port poin,edfy brings out the un- fortunate condition of industry in ihe territory brought about by the war. IL is we'll known that the condition is but temporary and while he fiscal year and the calen- dar year must reflect these copdi- lions in noticeable decreases, opera tors al d people of the North should not lose heart, for the tide is ex. pected 10 turn this summer and early in 1920 Alaska will no doubt be again running true to form.

FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, win Place
650,0o0, 900 Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
\ tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal--as millions OF
Americans know 1t to day, Is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated In 1907 by Miss Emily 2. Bissell'
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Rlis Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose Of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Ainerl'
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold In q
limited number of communities In
1908. The sale yielded revenue OF
approximately $4,000. The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
year and TO turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number OF seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until In 1917 the total
reached 1S0.000,000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December 1. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denomina-
lions ranging from $500 to $4,000
are to be sold In lieu Of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity Of mall in
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganizations call for more than $780,
900 to carry out the intensive educa-
tionai campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale Of these seals
represents a practical demonstration
Of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution Ex-
perts Of the highest standing IN sales
management have co-operated TO the
extent Of assuring those interested
that every resident Of the United
States will have an opportunity 10 buy

AN EDITORIAL WORTH

The Commercial Appeal of last
Sunday contained an editorial under
the caption "0ur False Notions of
Liberty" which if printed on heavy
check board, would be worth its
weight in that fabulously priced met
al, Radium-provided it could be read
in every household in the land and
needed by one person in a hundred.
The editorial referred to first called
attention to the acts Of sheer destruc-
tion and deviltry committed in Mem
phis last Friday Halloween by boys,
occasionally girls, young men and
young women, in which the perpetra-
tors went so far beyond what might
be termed FRANKS, as to be classed as
acts desperately mean, brutal and
malevolent. Windows were smashed.

show the rampant lawlessness and
disregard of the day.

WORKERS NEEDED TO

National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Red Gross Seal
Sale. Is Conducting Intensive
Educational CamnaInn-

Educational Campaign.
A call for volunteers to fight under
the standard of the National Tubercu-
lOsis Association and It's 1000 affiliated
bodies throughout the country against
tuberculosis-humanlty's most vicious
foe-has been sounded.
A recent health survey, made by the
experts of the National tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard TO the
prevelency Of the disease. The find
ings of this survey have revealed q
national menace, which must be eradl-
Gated. The figures show that each
year 10000 persons die of the dis
ease and that there are approximate
ly 100000 cases Of tuberculosis In
the United States today.
The untaught consumptive--one who
does not know the rules OF health, Is
an indefatigable spreader of the dis
ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be-
hind him trail of the deadly germs.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
tion and Its AFFILIATED bodies have en-
tered upon an intensive nationwide
educational campaign. The campaign
will be localized and within short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands of volunteers.
The National tuberculosis Associa.
ton and Its affiliated bodies are a.
nanced largely by the annual sale OF
Red Cross Chrlsti.3s Seals. To make
possible the carrying out OF this cam
paign, more than 65O,0O000O seals viii
be offered for sale during the holt
days. State and local tuberculosis
associations have at hand valuable
local data regarding the disease and
actual conditions in the communities
where they are located. The officers
OF these bodies eagerly welcome in
quiries.

ton Of the day; the strikes and all
the departures from the regular and
peaceful order came in for just crit
icism and with alarming accuracy
showed the restlessness prevailing in
this particular period.
Occupations absolutely needful but
not so speculative and fabulously
remunerative are being abandoned
school teaching for instance, and men
and women are claiming that nobody
can expect them to remain in bust
ness when they make more money at
something else; doctors and other
professional men are quitting the
lines which they fitted themselves to
fill, and are going into get-rich-quick
schemes; farmers are selling planta-
tions which they know and buying
other lands of which they know moth
ing. 1t is said that half of East Ar
kansas and much of the lands Of the
Mississippi Delta have in this year
changed hands in the lobby of the
Peabody hotel. In the language of
the Commercial Appeal editor, "Ev-
erybody is driving for something. For
the lack of something else to do, mil
lions of people are jumqing up and
down in their tracks," 1t also says:
"The business of highway robbery
flourishes over the country. The big
rich are skinning other big rich, and
there are sharks for all the suckers
that are born every day."
The question is asked "What is
worng with everybody" and what
poison is in the atmosphere that gets
into the blood of even the children?"
And onexof the answers is 1--WE have
confused liberty with license" We are
defying all restraint required by the
laws Of God and man which are irk-
some and which interfere with what
suits US to consider our inalienable
personal rights.
Being Sunday the Commercial APP
peal quoted:
"The Savior of mankind said. Come
unto me all we that labor, and are
heavy laden, and will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of
me, for | am meek and lowly in heart;
and We shall find rest unto my SOUL
"'For my yoke is easy. and my bur
den is light"
And We can add that the country
is full of professed Christians who
laugh in their sleeve at the foolish
ness, the old-fogyishness of such a
reminder, for I'VE do not want to la
Dor at alive revolt at any burden"
If the drift of last year continues how
long will it be until it will be farce
to keep church open in eommun-
ity? Will the raising Of millions, hun
dreds of millions of dollars by the
churches. bring back to US action
based on the true sense of right and
wrong? The man who belongs to a
church, gives money to church, yet

also would carry larger supply of
