COUNTRY WANTS REST

One of the many things that con- tributed to the enormous majority given President Harding last Novem- Der was the desire of the people of many years of war and intensive political and industrial controversy. The American people are tired of turmoil. They want to settle down and permit the tide of activities again to resume natural channels. Not in many years has an administration ing on the part of the people than that which exists for the present one. Eight years ago the Wilson adminis- tration went into power with the peo- pie expecting much. They looked for a great deal of progress. Q They expected the debris that had choked headway could be made They were not disappointed The currency, the tariff and many other things were
 
 disposed of to the general satisfac- tion. Then came the strenuous years of war, high wages and striving for higher, high prices and strife be- tween producer and consumer to raise or lower them. Naturally these were years of propaganda to raise or lower things Reformers and faddists con- ducted energetic campaigns for their favorite reforms and fads There were, of course, victories and de- feats. But it all made a very tired people, and they voted for President Harding by the thousands because they believed he was conservative and would give the people rest
 That the country is in need of rest there is no doubt. The present need is that Father Time may be permitted to work his miracles before there is much more experimenting. The time will come, of course, when the people will want to sprint again-when they will want to be up and at it. That is the law of progress. But at the present there is very little hankering for high-gear stuff
 Alaska is in about the same condi- tion as the nation. We have had our strenuous days. We were in the war, as was the rest of the country. and we have experienced the same sort of cratic business and political conditions. We have fought with high prices and low industrial prof. it's, audswe have battled in the ranks of factional and political contest. Our people, like those of the rest of the nation, are tired of this sort of strife. They want rest The need of the hour here, as elsewhere, is that human activities should return to nor nal channels. We need to see dikes that have been too long submerged by the floods of excitement and rest lessness. We want to work, develop and save money until time works it's miracles here and repairs the damage of overmuch strenuositv. There is no clamoring for speeding on new tracks or uncharted waters.- Juneau Empire.

EXERCISE MONEY SENSE
When Investing Hard-Earned
Savings, Watch Your Step.
BY EDGAR TAYLOR wHEELoCK


Copyright. 1920.
The other day a young man turned
up in Chicago with a lease on 1000
acres Of land in one Of the new Texas
oil districts. Together with a part
ner he recently had bought this lease
for $4,000. They are now selling
acreage leases at $1,000 an acre, and
they are selling, for wells arc coming
in all around them. Also they are
drilling on their own property.
He Learned the Ropes.
In 1915 this man was a stock sales
man operating near Chicago. He Is
a clean-cut, reputable business man.
Three years ago he went to Texas
and studied the oil business at first
hand. He is probably a millionaire
today.
He learned among other things
that the men who make big money
in oil wells are (a) the original own
ers OF the land; OBJ the men who
buy leases on large tracts and sell
at retail; and (c) those who go onto
the field and keep their eyes on the
ball"
Long distance speculation either IN
ful. The investor living at a distance
has no way Of knowing how his
money is being expended. Ordinary
common sense should counsel him TO
be cautious in handing his savings
over TO strangers.
Some Fundamental Truths.
"a Remember: All oil and mining
propositions are not honest. Some
are promoted by swlndlers who can
make blue sky look lac gold bars
and gushing oil wells.
CD Even when promoters are
honest they frequently are visionary
and their Judgment Is not 20 be
trusted.
CD The mining and oil business
always is a gamble. A paying vein
OF gold may pinch OUT; oil wells
go dry.
90 Even when mines and wells
prove 20 be unusually successful the
stockholder In q distant state and
the one who knows nothing about
the business may not benefit. There
are many ways Of winning q game OF
freezeout when expert card dealers
are cooperating against novices
Even when there are honest men on
the ground they are strongly tempt
ed 10 take advantage OF their SUI
perior position.
Plenty Money For a Sure Thing.
(5) The more extravagant the
promises made the less prospect
there IS Of success. There e always
abundant capital TO finance a sure
thing.
When sick you call for a doctor;
when legal problems trouble. you go
10 a lawyer; when you are thinking
OF investing your hard-earned saw
ings. consult your banker. The mat
ter is simple II rightly understood.

The second OF the trio Of murders
occurred at Pittsburg. Pa, IN Feb
ruary or this year. J. K. McCul-
Tough. a railway mail clerk OF many
years, service. was at work IN his
mail car IN the railway yards when
the robber stealthily entered the car,
crept up behind the clerk and frac-
tured his skull with an iron bar.
The clerk had no chance whatever
to defend himself and never regain
ed consciousness.
The third murder also occurred IN
a railway mail car, but the robbery
was perpetrated while the train was
In motion. This attack, which was
one OF the most daring IN the his
tory OF the postoffice department,
also occurred in February. A lone
bandit boarded a Northern Pacific
train at st. Cloud. MINI, introduced
himself 20 the mail clerks as an en-
ploye OF the postofice department
and presented forged credentials.
Without any apparent reason the
bandit, who was a mere youth, shot
one Of the clerks and compelled an
other 20 bind and gag the other oc-
cupants OF the car. The robber then
took the registered mail bags and
left the train at the next stop.
Among his loot were some 100000

remained at large only a few days,
however. being apprehended in a
far western state by postoffice in

loot was recovered.

American Quaker's Diary
Showing Conditions in Moscow

Philadelphia, May 26-"Faces are
bit thinner and grayer in Moscow
than they were three months ago."
writes Anna J. Haines, of Moores
town, N. j., in her diary, which has
just been received in this city by the
American Friends Service Commit
tee. Miss Haines is their representa-
tive in Moscow for Russian relief
work in cooperation with Arthur j.
Watts, an English Friend.
The food shortage, she says, COM
bined with lack of fuel for Transport
tation, has brought real famine con-
ditions to many Moscow citizens.
Miss Haines herself eats her break
fast on her way to the Friends
warehouse. there being no means of
preparing food in her room and
black bread requiring no prepara-
ton.
At noon the two Quakers have
government permission TO receive a
dinner apiece at the workinGmen's
restaurant, which is run by the
Soviet Department of Supplies, in
the vicinity of the warehouse. 1T is

buckwheat or millet, creased with

own fork and spoon or. eat with
ones fingers, a procedure which is
not considered improper there. She
says that she and Nh Watts enjoy
going to this restaurant, as they
meet all sorts of people and the food

somewhat of a curiosity and some

because they invade the kitchen to

will be intact throughout the night
The workers then shake hands with
the manager and six or eight WORK
men and depart for the Savoy Hotter,
where Arthur Watts is the guest or
the government,--by his own wish
paying guest.
Here the first task is the collection
of the materials for supper. Some OF
this comes from the hotel dining
room in the form of government ra-
tons, some from a caidron OF boiling
water which can usually be found III
the service-room of the Savoy, and
some from the fast dwindling stores
brought in for private consumption

SAYS her English colleague affects to
scorn these toothsome extras, put
that she and her Russian aides make
no pretense of being above such lux

the next instalment may not arrive

ming, while stock books and accounts
are spread on the table, various
callers drop in. First among them is

to talk on every spiritual or intel
lectual subject, and likely to stay till

soldier comrades, translator stenog-

rooms in search of something, and

Additions to Story i
About Girls c.. Play

Most creditable mention is made in
the story of the three act comedy
which was given Thursday evening
at the Opera House by the Gilis'
club, of the acting of Miss Ruth Ord
way, who took male part. that of
Franklin Greene. The name of the
play was Patty Makes Things Hum"
and Miss Ordway upheld her work N
the play in very fine manner. The
Spanish dance with casternets by
Miss Gladys Madore was another
pretty feature of the evening. Her
steps were full of life and true to
Spanish style. AS Mr.. Sheehan,
coach for the girls in the play said
it wouldn't have been an amateur
production if something in the line of
mishap hadn't happened. But it was
rather unfortunate that scene fell
onto the drop curtain, rather upset.
