cording to Mir Goldstein. Crabs are also to be had in sufficient quantity to make success of the venture Fishermen residing here, he stated would be able to supply canning plant with all of the shell fish nee essary and in so doing can make more money for themselves than they are now able to do under fresh fish market conditions. There is plenty of labor in the community to guarantee steady operations of a plant at all times, according to MT. Goldstein.
 In the matter of transportation facilities, he said,s Juneau has the advantage over any other place in Alaska where. the shell fish industry has been undertaken. Many of the vessels operating 9,to Southeastern Alaska do not stop at either Wran- geil or Petersburg, but all of the yes sells, both large and small. operating between Seattle and Alaskan ports do call at Juneau. This, in itself, he said. is a big inducement
 While the. establishment of a shell fish cannery would not mean as much to the community as large cold storage plant" said MT. Gold stein, "it would be of very material benefit. It would require but small part of the investment necessary to build equip and operate cold storage plant and the return to the town would be approximately greater than the investment.
 "We need and are going to have a cold storage plant to take care of the fresh fish business. But that should not deter us from going after a plant to take care of the shell fish that are now lying without utilizat tion

JUNEAU LOGICAL
 PLACE TO START
 SHRIMP CANNERY
Town Offers Great Advan- tages for Shell Fish Indus
 try Says Coldstein.

That one of the most profitable branches of the fisheries Industry and one that should center in Jul neau is being overlooked by Juneau people is the opinion of practically everyone who has given the matter study. That branch is shell fish Other Alaskan towns, it is pointed out, have substantial canneries for these fish and they are proving a material aid and are all making a success of the undertaking, accord ing to exports received in Juneau
 s"Clams. shrimp and, crabs could and should be handled right here where there is every facility for taking care of them" declared Char les Goldstein, who with others, has been active in seeking to develop the fishing business in this section. "The history of the development of the shell fish industry in Wrangeil. Petersburg, Cordova, and other Al askan towns is so encouraging that we should not hesitate to follow their some of this business for ourselves. We do not have to take away any of the business these towns have built up. There is demand enough for all they can produce and every can we can turn out he said. The pioneers in the shrimp canning business in Wrangell and Peters burg have been followed by news plants, he said, and these are giving steady employment to many people almost the entire year round.
 There are good shrimp and clam bcds within 30 miles of Juneau, ac-

Enough Sugar Beets.

The Minnesota Sugar Co., last week
sent out notices to field agents to shut
down on contracting for acreage, as
the company now has all the acreage
that it can handle, about 1880 acres,
the largest number of acres ever con-
tracted for by this company. Besides
the company had to turn down about
1000 acres, which had been contracted
for since the notice was mailed out
This is the first time in the history of
the sugar beet industry in Minnesota
that the factory has been able to Sc
cure all the acreage it could handle
and the first time in the history of
the Minnesota Sugar Co., that it was
found necessary to notify field agents
to cease making contracts. And this
in view of the fact that the new
contract is being used the first time
this year and in spite of the fact
that many predicted that it would be
a hard matter securing acreage on
this new contract. Our prediction that
the new contract would meet with the
approval of the growers and in time
prove more popular than any contract
ever issued by this company, has
proven true. We are going to have
a good year, we believe, and we hope
to see the growers realize handsomely.

Local Manager Wanted.
Unusual Opportunity
for Right Man.

A large brokerage firm doing a
successful business with well-rated
concerns throughout the country
wants capable man at once to devel-
OPP and handle their local business.
The opportunity is an unusual one
because of the possibilities offered for
substantial earnings in highly re-
spectacle business which will steadi-
ly increase as it becomes more firmly
established locally.
The position requires a man posses
sing executive and sales ability with
business experience and having COM
mercial banking connections, although
no investment is necessary. He may
devote only a portion Of his time to
the business at first If desired, though
we prefer a man who is able and will
ing to give the business his entire time
and best efforts.
The local branch should pay from
$4,000 to $4,000 the first year, ac-
cording to population and the ability
of the manager, as the commodity
which we handle is staple, always in
demand, and which our large buying
facilities permit us to sell at less than
average market prices.
Giving to the demand, we must fill

Ninth in Education.

The announcement has just been
made of the rank of the different
countries in the world as to education.
The United States stands NINTH
This country, which we all claim to be
SO great, SO rich, so much better than
all others, is ninth among the nations
when it comes to the education of it's
people.
The news is astounding-stupefy-
ing!
And yet three years ago, when we
entered the war, twenty-five per cent
of the men who went out from single
state to fight the nations battles had
to be taught to sign their names. sAnd
mind you, they were not foreigners
every one of these illiterate soldiers
was an American-born citizen. Many
more who would with difficulty write
their name and read a bit were so
poorly educated that they could not
study the common manual of drill.
Yes, education is free in our rich
cities and in the well-to-do country
regions. But the time has come for
us to carry education-common school
education-into the mountains and
deserts and other lonely stretches of
our land.
Ignorance is the greatest menace of
any nation. We rail at Bolshevism in
America and denounce it's followers
among us, but forget that it is moth
ing but ignorance, lack Of education.
And that is our fault, not theirs

Serving as City Official.

Oftentimes we hear wonderment
expressed as to why more citizens
don't get out and contest for city or
village elective positions. This query
was heard in Jordan just before the
recent biennial election. Probably it
can be answered by the following item
written by the editor of the Elmore
(Minn.) Eye, who was himself ell
ected to his home village council and
served. Editor Wicken's pungent pen
may puncture the bubble of small
town office holding a bit too violently,
but it is an interesting viewpoint,
coming as it does from one who has
seen it well and tells it in the Eye
as follows:

The Ten Demandments.
,Japan Advertiser.

The following "Ten Demandments'
are said to be hanging conspicuously
in a salmon canning establishment ir
Stevenson, western Canada. They arc
full of suggestion to employees in al
sorts of business:
| Don't lie. 1t wastes my time
and yours. | am sure to catch you in
the end, and that is the wrong end.
Watch your work, not the clock
A long days work makes a long day
short; and short days work makes
my face long.
3-Give me more than expect, and
l will give you more than you expect
can afford to increase your pay, if
you increase my profits.
4.-You owe so much to yourself you
cannot afford to owe anybody else
Keep out of debt, or keep out of my
shops.
5.-Dishonesty is never an accident
Good men, like good women, never
see temptation when they meet it.
6-Mind your business, and in time
you'll have business of your own to
mind.
Don't do anything here which
hurts your selfrespect. An employee
who is willing to steal for me is will
ing to steal from me.
Sit is none of my business what
you do at night. But if dissipation af-
fects what you do the next day, and
you do half as much as I demand
you'll last half as long as you hoped.
9.-Don't tell me what I'd like to
hear, but what I ought to hear.
don't want valet to my vanity, but
one for my dollars.

worth while correcting you're worth
while keeping. don't waste time cut

Ethelbert Wood
bridge Nevin
Kansas City Times.


Among American composers Of
songs and pianoforte pieces in the
smaller forms Ethelbert Woodbridge
Nevin stood almost in a class by him
self. Blithe, happy and with an in
stinctive love for light rather than
shadow, his fancy turned to the free,
the gay and the less strenuous emo
tions. His career was an unusual
demonstration that the art life of a
musician can be harmonized with the
laws and tenents of the everyday
world around him.
He was born in Vineacre, Pa, a
small town 13 miles from Pittsburgh,
November 25, 1862, of musical parents.
He showed the usual precocity of mu-
sicians, STUNNING tunes when he
was four years old He went abroad
with his parents when quite young. In
1877, while in Dresden, he studied
singing and the piano under Won
Boehme. Next he went to Rome,
where he stayed year, his musical
efforts consisting chiefly in singing
as a choir boy in the American church,
st. Paul's Within the Walls, of which
his cousin, the Rev. r. j. Nevin, was
rector. One of his salient memories
regarding this period was that he was
blessed by the pope, and that very
soon afterward he lost his voice. He
did not, however, connect the two
events. He came back to this coun-
try and attended the University Of
Western Pennsylvania, but studied
there Tor only part Of the course.

in miserable grief, accompanied by
hardly less wretched neighbors If
such chorus as one might expect te
find three floors below street leve

this family, also had gone to fan
place to find work and food.
"Next door I wandered without
guidance into a mud-floored, bare
cold, awful howell and found a mid
dle-aged emaciated woman crouched
all alone against the wall. She turn
ed her eyes up at the unusual sight
l must have been, with neither cur
iosity, resentment nor appeal. It was
look Of lethargy and it was plain to
be seen that she was a victim of star
walton and didn't have much farther
to go. She had a little basket partly
filled with dried elm leaves and moth
ing more. She had been eating these,
or trying to. She had some of them
soaked up in little bowl of water,
and more sickening mess l never
looked at.
'She had heard grain was to be
given the very poor, but had no ticket
and was too weak to make the effort
to get one.

Franklin Egan, writing for The Sat
urday Evening Post of Philadelphia.
from the Province Of China, declares
that "the average person among the
people who stand in dignified appeal
before the gates Of charity in China
would almost rather die than beg"

gees. AS many women as possible
have been put to work of various kinds

keep busy and make it possible for
them to believe they have earned the
food which is given them, while the

to look for work and food. The wo-
mans body was just covered, and

thin rags and claimed her allotment
of grain at the relief headquarters,
and was beaming gratitude, but her
children were literally unclothed. "A
young girl had on single unbelieva-

and the boys shared among them some
scraps of something, but the baby,
about a year old, was naked as God
made her. Out Of habit they all hud-

baby was curled up in the corner un-
