 Dear Sir:
 A thought occurred to me this morning which I have put down in verse Cor perhaps near verse;, think ing that it might assist you in the re- lief drive you are now conducting. Since I do not wish my name used,

APPEAL MADE . FOR MILLIONS LITTLE BABIES

This is the season for making new resolutions. Those of you who have not as yet donated to the Child Feed ing Fund should resolve that you will today donate to this, the greatest and most beneficent charity drive since the great war.
 Nearly everybody reads the news papers and nearly everybody in Cor dova and vicinity will read this ap- peal, and it is hoped that you will cheerfully and promptly act in this matter without being personally so- licited.
 As previously announcer, Herbert Hoover says that three and one-half millions of children are starving in
The Cordova daily times., 1920-12-30

I am signing this with hopes for great success in this good work. (Signed) A CORDOVAN. There is a spruce log near my kitchen
 door,
 And every day come flocks of chicka-
 dees,
 Which perch there and with sweet
 est twitArings Coax for the bread crumbs that
 throw to them. Then comes thank you chorus from
 the trees; A hundred throaty chick a dee dee
 dees.
 In other lands the babies softly moan For food and shelter, and their. low,
 weak cry Swells to a chorus, that has touched |
 our hearts To give those war-wronged kiddies of
 our store For wars game that men and kings
 can play, But at the reckoning the babies too.
 must pay. A few crumbs from our granaries of
 wealth, And those sad cries will change to
 happy ones With such glad coos and gurglings as
 shall blend To make chorus sweet as chubims- A thank-yo chorus that will reach
 our ears And make us happy through the com
 ing years.

EDUCATIONAL FILMS ARE BEING PROVIDED
 IN ALASKA SCHOOLS

Territorial Commission of Educa- tion l.. D. Henderson has recently received film of three reels from the American Telegraph & Telephone Co.,, entitled Speeding the Spoken Word" The film will be circulated among the seven Alaska schools equipped with moving picture pro- ectors, at Juneau, Douglas, KetcEi- kan, Cordova, Valdez, Anchorage and Latouche, and will be shown in Cor dova shortly, it is stated.
 This film is of especial education al value to the children of Alaska in that it presents a comprehensive view of the extensive operations of this corporation" said MT. Henderson.
 The film from the American Tele- graph & Telephone Co.,, is the first to be received of a number which are expected within the next few weeks. MT. Henderson has made arrange ments with large number of indus trial corporations, which make prac- tice of putting out films as an ad- vertising medium, to send the films to Alaska. These films will be shown throughout the territory with no ex pense except the express charges.
 The other films that are now en route to Juneau are from Armor & Co.,, one reel entitled "Stockiest Star Ham," and two films from the West ern Electric Company. the first of two reels entitled "A Square Deal for His Wife," and the second of four reels entitled, "The Go-Getter."

NEVER HAD A CHANCE.

If there is one superIatively cow
ardly and lying excuse on the mouth
of failure it is Il never had chance"
Everybody has a chance" more
than one Chance" The world is
full of chances" They are easy to
find. Sometimes they seem to come
hunting people.
There is such a thing as misfor-
tune. Chances" offer themselves
sometimes when circumstances tina;
may not be controlled honorably rem
der them difficult and perhaps i'm
possible Of acceptance and seizure.
But that is incidental and abnormal.
Every failure has had his chance and
chances.
Opportunity wears overalls as Oft
en- as it dresses in broadcloth. In
any kind of clothes the man who is
looking for it finds it. Opportunity
isn't the acceptance of a situation"
It's grabbing a job and making good
at it whether the opportunist is a hod
carrier or a railroad president. OPP
portunity knows the kind of man it
is hunting. 1t can't see the other
kind the kind that expects opportu-
nifty as legacy from his parents or
as a gift from others.
There's one road lined with oppor-
tunities, thick as deadelions along
an Iowa roadside. That's the road
Of hard work, the way to a steady
job, the nine or ten hour travel
along the dusty way that leads every
day to steady job. 1t isn't a paved
road or a joy ride. It's dusty and

THE VOTE IN MINNESOTA

The Minnesota primaries FURNISH q
surprise for the Lowden supporters.
On the face OF the earlier returns the
state seems 10 have gone strong for
General Wood VITA Senator Johnson
running second and Lowden perhaps
fourth behind Hoover, whose support
ers pasted stickers on the ballot. Low
den was expected to do better than
this in Minnesota, the state of his
nativity.
General Wood has a real populari-
ty in the mid west. That was well
known and the strength of his vote
in Minnesota may be thus accounted
for. It is based upon his excellent
record wherever he has been put on
trial and the Minnesota result proves
that the general Is stronger than
had been granted. But another eN-
PLANTATION comes naturally to mind:
The utter disgust OF the mid west
for the administration and It's SYM
pathy for Wood in the treatment he
received at its hands. The vote for
Wood probably goes deeper than the
desire to vote for him and includes
rebuke and resentment. That this
is a natural conclusion is supported
by the vote for Johnson.
There seems TO have been a very
well organized movement to advance
Mr., Hoover's interests. When a can
didate whose name Is not on the bal
lot receives a sticker vote OF such
proportions It IL evidence OF orsari-

so in party primary which gives
that vote to a candidate whose party
affiliations are as misty as those of
the former food administrator.

Every one has chances" Every
one has had chance and more than
one chance, There are as many

try road and every one Of them leads
somewhere. The trouble with the
fellows who never had a chance" is
that there wasn't somebody standing

them inside. They didn't recognize
opportunity. They were looking for
something else.
The man who never had a chance"
never looked for one. He hadn't his
eyes open. lie hadn't ftted himself
for chance. Perhaps it was cow
ard.ce. mayhap laziness, it may have
been fool parents but the chance was
there waiting.
Never had chance?" Heavens,
man, this country is one wide OPP
portunlty. \ young man with health
and purpose can do and be anything
he chooses and works for.
Poets are born and not made, the
ancients said. It's different IN Ibis
modern day as applied TO the comm IN
opportunities of life and its rewards,
II doesn't make much difference
whether a bank president or a man
ager or a millionaire or any other
example OF American success was
born in a shanty along the railroad
track or on farm or in a mansion
on Goldfish Heights. They are not
born that way. They make them
selves.
