WANTS
 FEDERAL MEN
 TOAD MINING

JUNEAU, Dec. 30.-The recommen- dations of Gov. Riggs, for five federal mining engineers in Alaska to aid prospectors, created unusual interest at the sixth annual banquet of Mining and Engineering Society of Alaska. The governor in his address said Engineer Bert W. Dyer is now at Anchorage, and that there should be federal engineers stationed in addi- tion at Juneau, Cordova, Fairbanks, and at Nome and one at some other points. Their mission will be ex- anime prospects and make assays and give out preliminary reports, which may be used as a nucleus by prospectors in getting capital inter ested in making further investigations with their own engineers. The gov ernor believed, and this was con- cured in by those present, that the plan would prove a great aid in stim- ulating prospecting and developing mining The bureau of mines would have authority to make the appoint ments.
 Among other interesting talks made by those present, the remarks of George T. Jackson, manager of the Alaska Gastineau Company, and Philip Bradley, of the Treadwell com panies, caused much interest. Mr. Jackson said he believed that the high peak of the cost of mining had been reached.
 The speaker took an optimistic view of the situation in Alaska. which was fully confirmed by talk made by MT. Bradley.
 Other talks were made by Living stone Wernecke, geologist for the Treadwell company: B. D. Stewart, the well known mining engineer; Ed ward Kendall. of the surveyor gen erals office, John Richardson. super intendent for the Alaska Juneau com pany; R. J. Sommers. surveyor gen eral and H. T. Tripp.
 Mir Wernecke described conditions in the Kusk kokwim and his trip from there to the coast with a dog team. B. D. Stewart spoke of his trip through the interior and said that one making the tour must be i'm pressed with the future possibilities of all parts of Alaska. once the trans portation problem is solved. Edward of the surveyor generals office. Col. R. J. Commers described a dog trip made by himself for the government in 1910 from Nome to the Iditarod and Kuskokwim and on to the coast, before there was any mining excite ment in the Iditnro1 and before An chorage was thought of.
 H. T. Tripp said the Engineering Society should interest itself in the pulp business in Alaska, and drew a picture of the possibilities Q com merce and prosperity in this line.

THE CALENDAR SEASON

This is the calendar season and the pretty things are being distribut- ed in profusion i'll Ketchikan. Every body is gathering them up. Thous- ands of dollars have been put in to them The alleged reason for the is suing of calendars is the advertising they give the merchant or the house issuing them, and as such they are worthy of consideration
 One house in ketcEikan spent $100 for 100 calendars. The name of the merchant giving the calendar appears in a space not over three inches wide and two inches deep. Of the hundred calendars which cost dollar apiece one was retained by the house and ninety nine were given out. Of the ninety-nine ten were obtained by small boys who cut the calendar and the advertising part off, in order that they might have the picture of the pretty girl appearing.
 Of the remaining eight-nine calen- dars, ten went into little shacks in habited by people who seldom or ever entertained, who never have more than a dozen persons in their place ir the course of year. Ten others were kept in collections of calendars by children or faddists.
 Of the remaining approximately thirty-five were placed in some con spicuous place where they might be seen at all times by the family or wis itors. But these are so located tha nc one ever reads the advertising part They simply look at the pretty picture. The remaining calendars were destroyed in one way or an

Hebrew National Theater

The revival of the Hebrew language
in Palestine has resulted in stimulat-
ing Hebrew dramatic productions in
the Holy Land and in causing de-

population for Hebrew national
theater. Dramatic societies, with but

amateurs, are now producing plays in
Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Safed and Ti-

Pauline Frederick Has
Collection of 500 Fans
OF All Sorts and Values

Pauline Frederick is having the sat
isfaction of seeing one of her inter-
csts become the fad Of the moment.
And she doesn't have to admire, long
ingly, the fans which have waved their
delicate fronds in the smart shops TINS
season. She has more at home, thank
you, than any shop possesses.
Miss Frederick says she. cant re-
member the time when she didn't long
for fans. When she was little girl
she never thought her dolls costumes
were complete unless there we're fans
with them. She used to collect pic
lures of Spanish beauties just because
they usually had fans in their hands.
Miss Frederick owns more. than 5o0
fans, and they are literally Of all kinds.
She says she cannot tell their value,
because some Of them have an in
trinsic value and some are precious
only because of their association. In
the latter class is little fan OF paint
ed chiffon on tiny white sticks, which
from grammar school. In the first
class is fan with sticks Of solid gold,
holding out a. piece Of priceless old
lace.
Many of the fans have been made
to order for Miss Frederick. In fact,
there is one ostrich farm in California
which considers her as just about its
best single customer. The manager
has way of letting Miss Frederick
know if he has some exceptionally beau
tiful feathers on hand. A few weeks
ago she had fan made from feathers
especially selected for her. 1t is q

where they took some Of the scenes.
Of course, Cuba promised a great deal
in the way of fans, because 80 many

Frederick was on the trail Of the fans
from the minute she landed, and she
added several to her collection. One
has ivory sticks so minutely carved
that they resemble lace.

In "The Piper there are five parts

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER.


Another sweet and beautiful life
has gone home. On Sunday night,
April 18th, 1920, the spirit of our dear
mother, Mary Isabelle Sanders, went
out from its earthly home to be with
Christ in Paradise All that loving
hands could do for her, was done, but
we could not keep her. Early in life
she united with st. Johns Lutheran
church at Red House, Md, and was
as long as her health permitted, found
in her accustomed place in the house
of worship. Oh, how we shall miss
her dear face when we visit the church
we, too love. No one can look back
on her memory without feeling that
there is such life as a God-filled life.
We feel that she is the happier and
we are all made better in heart and
richer in soul when we reflect on her
blessed life Her will had become
His will and we believe she could
say with Paul, For me to live is
Christ; to die is gain" She had a
Christian courage. 1t was not a fac
tor with her what others did; she
had the courage to do what she thot
was right, and often admonished her
children not to do a thing because
Others did it, but to ascertain first
whether it would be right to do it..
Her conduct had gone beyond the
point of being swayed by what was
popular or customary. Duty was the
goal. Love led the way and self was
lost in the service for others. She
suffered least from her own pain and
most from the sorrows of others. Our
family circle has been broken for the
first time. The ruling spirit has gone
out. Her going has left a vacancy
none on earth can fill. Mother had a
sweet, CHEEKY disposition. She was
always kind and ruled by love. Oh,
how lonely the home is without her!
No longer will we be welcomed to that
earthly home with a CHEEKY smile and
loving embrace from mother. We
will miss her welcome and words of
counsel. Death through her living
Lord has been robbed of all its ter
rors. To her, death was not door
which shut out life, but one which
opened into large rife. Mother is not
dead, but has just gone home and is
waiting for US there. Thank God for
such a mother, who though absent.

disease on Wednesday, April l. at 8
O'Clock at the old home place in that
town. Mr. Goehringer had been in
poor health for the past several years
but owing to his remarkable strong
vitality, was able to combat the on
slaught of the disease until within
few weeks prior to his death, when
nature would no longer respond to
medical science, hence death came
as a great relief to his intense suffer
ing. He was born on July 6, 1868, and
was therefore aged Sc years, 9 months
and one day. He took up the trade
of blacksmith and wheelright with his
father at an early age in life and was
connected with him until the death of
the latter. when the business passed
into his hands and was conducted hy
him until his death. Mr. Goehr.ngsr
became a member of the Ev. German
Lutheran church of Accident by con
firmation when IA years of age, ana
was a conscientious worker in its be-
half during his entire life Vie was
married to Miss Catharine Lochner,

were born Mrs. Harry Neil, of Gar

years, 8 months and 16 days. He was
married July %, 1867, to Margaret A.

dren were born, all living except the
youngest, who died in infancy. Those
surviving are his wife, Margaret A.

Park, served as County Commission
ers of Garrett county from 1877 to

the county and state as long as he was
able to be about in active affairs. Too
much cannot be said of this grand old
man. He was everybody's friend and
was never known to have an enemy
during his entire lifetime, and reared
a family who are all prominent in
their respective walks of life. Mr..
Riley will be grea .ly missed not only
by the immediate members of his fam
lily but by host of friends who had
learned to know and love him.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SANITY
By Jason Dean

Probably no other country in the
world so needs the balancing, tenn
perlng power of national sanity as the
United States. Few nations show
greater lack of it.
The fact is the real, deep-seated,
underlying source of at least a vast
majority of our troubles at this time,
our national sanity has been side
tracked. Let US hope it is temporary.
Other nations have gone insane.
Observe Germany. Observe Russia.
Observe Germany again. Surely they
are sufficient as examples. Lack of
national sanity has smashed them.
Not that this country should be COM
pared to them. Such a thought, even,
is abhorrent to the finer sensibilities
of the average American; it smacks
almost of treason. But what did Pat
rick Henry say? Let us profit by
their example.
Lynchings, strikes, profiteer-hunts,
"red" menace-all the thousand and
one explosions to which this land has
been subject of late-can be traced
directly to the fact that our national
sanity is, so to speak, at low ebb.
The thing constitutes problem and
q oNAiOuo OllC. uONH ali lIt
multitude of problems which confront
US, we get the one foundation ques-
ton: What can be done to restore
our balance, to set us squarely up
again and relieve these myriad tan
gled worries ?" The answer is: "See
straight; looks at things sanely, and
sane eyes will see light where all was
dark before"
All of which, of course. does not
offer remedy 1t merely points an
i'll. For every i'll there are a thous-
and panaceas, each represented by its
proponent to be a sure cure. There
fore, may | offer mine without even a
word of apology:
1t can be given in two words-Stay
Sane! Forget the panics; forget the
racking worries; let a sense of humor
take the place of sense of anxiety
as your guide, and things won't look
so black!
