WALT STOESER FILMS SCENES
 IN TERRITORY

In an effort to remove the misap- Iprehensions that many Americans have regarding conditions in Alaska, w. c. Stoeser is planning a nine months tour of the northern terri tory, on which he will take motion pictures for a trayelogue to be en- titled Alaska as it is, and not as represented"
 Stoeser, who will be accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Leora Stoeser. who will act as his assistant, will make the trip under the auspices of the Post-Intelligencer and his pictures will be in the nature of a Post-In- telligencer travelogue. From time to time he will send back articles, il- lustrated with photographs, on the same general subject as his travel ogue. These articles will be pub lished in the Post-Intelligencer.
 Both Stoeser and Mrs. Stoeser have spent years in Alaska, and are thor oughly familiar with northern con- ditions. It is, in fact, this familiar ity which led them to plan the trip.
 "The average person who has never been in Alaska, especially the one liv- ing east of the rockies" Stoeser ex- plained, believes -- and, under the circumstances, has a right to believe that Alaska is land of eternal ice and snow, with dangers and hardships untold. This is due to the fact that they have been misinformed by writ CTS who, naturally enough, dwell on the more picturesque features of the country and by motion pictures of Alaska in which the dance hall, dog teams and fights play the most prom inent part and which usually carry some such title as The Frozen North
 "To correct this impression, I plan  to make a picture which will show what Alaska really is--what the ter ritory has, how it's inhabitants live it's industries and it's possibilities, I would include scenic pictures of the glaciers and similar subjects, and also hunting scenes and pictures of wild animals.
 "The pictures will be divided into chapters, each chapter to cover one particular section of the territory and everything that pertains to that sec tion The Cordova section, for in stance, will cover the fishing indus try, the oil fields, the mining indus try, the Copper River railroadi and

BRIGHTEST SIDE
COMES TO FRONT
RESERVE BANK LEADERS OPTI-
MYSTIC FOR FUTURE, SAYS
GOVERNOR HARDING IN
CHARLOTTE MEETING-COOP.
Err PRESENT ALSO.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. o.
Gloomy forebodings of last winter
with respect to the banking situa-
ton are no longer justified and can
be dismissed, Governor Harding Of
the federal reserve board, declared
in an address here tonight at the
de-in-Carolinas Exposition.
"The banking situation has great
ly improved" Mr.. Harding said,
"and although the press of readjust-
ment has not been completed, evi-
dences are multiplying that the cor
ner has been turned and that we
have passed the most acute stage of
the readjustment period"
Governor Harding said that in the
immediate future much would de-
pend on agricultural developments
and the manner in which this years
crops were marketed.
"With proper cooperation On the
part of merchants and bankers" he
said, "those engaged in agriculture
have opportunities and prospects
which were not anticipated a few
months ago, and it is of vital i'm
portance that this cooperation be
given.
''It should be remembered" Gov,
ernor Harding continued, "that in
order to maintain our production we
must push our foreign trade. We can
not maintain. our foreign trade on
the basis of the gold stock of other
nations and some means must be de-
vised for extending long time cred
it's abroad or of interesting Ameri-
can, investors in foreign properties
and securities in order that. the ex-
change rate which now run 80 heavi-
ly against other nations may be cor
rected.
"We must continue to buy from
foreign countries those things which
they can produce better or more
cheaply than we can and exchange
commodities with them. If we deter
mine to do business with and for
ourselves alone, it~seems inevitable
that we must reduce our production
to meet merely American require
ments."
The recent advance lnsthe price of
cotton was in no way due to any in
crease in the loans of federal re-
serve banks or to any expansion in
the currency, Governor Harding de-
clared, but to operation Of the in
evitable law of supply and demand.
Federal reserve notes actually in
circulation, he said, were about
s500,000,O0O less than when cotton
reached its lowest point last spring.

DEAD" MAN RECEIVERS
Rumbling of Hearse Arouses Corpse
On Sidewalk.

Atlanta, Sept. 22.-At 4:sO
o'clock Thursday morning the tele-
phone of A. C. Hemperley, the we'll
known funeral director of East
Point, awoke him from a sound slum-
Der after hard days work.
"A man is dead on the sidewalk
on Ware Street." said the person
ealing.
Mr.. Hemperley got up, dressed
himself hurriedly, went to his ga
rage and started the motor of his
large, white hearse, which silently
and swiftly sped through deserted
streets to the place where the man
was dead on the sidewalk.
Joseph. William Miller, chief of
police of East Point, had received
the same call at about the same
hour, and he likewise had risen from
bed and was hurrying to the place
where a man lay dead. He expected
to find a bloody homicide or the
corpus delecti of a speed demons
madness.
They arrived simultaneously from
opposite directions. They pressed
the buttons of their electric flash
lights, searching in the shadows for
the body of the dead man. They
could not find it.
"Yonder he goes, Mr.. Hemperley,"
said nocturnal pedestrian, running
up to the funeral director and the
police chief.
"He wasn't dead, He was sick.
When he heard the hearse coming
around the corner he got up and
walked away"
