ALASKAN SENT MESSAGE ENDING
 GREAT WAR

Major George D. Beaumont. who was recently mentioned in a Seattle news dispatch as in line for one of the Alasa<a u,arsdaalzhips. possesses tho distinction of having been the man who actually ended the Great War by sending the famous message along the battle front that the armis.ice with Germany had been signed and the hos tflities should cease. according to a recent issue of the Seattle Times.
 Prior to the opening of hostilities between the United States and Ger many, George Beaumont was assis.- ant superintendent of telegraph for the Alaska Engineering Commission. with headquarters at Anchorage from which point he enlisted.
 The story of how an Alaskan came % end the mightiest military struggle in history on November il. 1918 is told in tho Times as follows:
 Major Beaumont received the verbal order at tfrs time of receiving the writ ten message. .o Shoot it. she's over!" The major said he had sent many mes- sages during his thirty years at the key but when he sat down to shoot tha. special one. he would not have cared to have had any other key pounder see him. The copy of the orig inal message is frstmed and hangs in Major Beaumont's bedroom, at his home. 7Ss Bellevue avenue Seattle.
 Major Beaumont. at the time of sending the message ending the war. was q captain in the capacity of tele- graph officer for the First army under command of Lieut.. Gen. Hunter Lig- get with headquarters at Souilly. France. personally dispatched the fate full message which was brought to him by messenger from Gen. Liggett's of flee at 7:25 o'clock the morning of No- vernber 11.1s1S. and which ended tho war for some 100000 American soldiers of the historic First Army.
 A the same time similar messages were being dispatched to the Second army in the St Mihiei sector. to the chief of the air service. artillery and staff departments and 70 ali bases comprising the remainder of 2.000.00o American soldiers im France.
 Major Beaumont describes the oc- casion as follows:
 We stayed up all night said the u.ajor. Myself. and the shift on dutv in our portable telegraph office And by the way that was the only portable telegraph office in the A. F.. F. It was an experiment. and 1t surely was making good. Several times the fac. that it was on wheels was all that saved it from destruction.
 q took that crew who were with me at headquarters, away from Major l.. W. Moes. another Seattle man in tho telegraph service. He's here in town now with the Western Union. The morning of Nov. Il. every one of IL; was tired out. We had been on our toes for four days and the strain was beginning to tell on us. was sitting in little office had on the trailer and had ceased to keep track of the ! cigars I had smoked. The boys were out in the instrument room lighting fresh smokers from the stumps of old ores. To every one of use the minutes seemed like ages and :he same atmos phere prevailed everywhere around headquarters.
 "At just 7:25 in the morning ! messenger from the generals office ap peared at the outer door of the trailer

||SAYS ALASKAMS
 BETTER 0FF THAN OUTSIDERS

'.Alaska looks good to most people and. 0ndidly 1 believe we are better on than any section of the world to- day." is the way in which R. W. J. Reed. Nome's genial customs repre- sentative. epitonizes the difference In conditions in Alaska and the Outside world in a mid-January letter from Juneau to $. C. Anderson here.
 Everyone coming from the States. and especially the city of Seattle. say that conditions are very. very bad and thousands are out of employment with nothing in sight" Mir. Reed states. Continuing he says: Factories, mills, mines. and all other lines are closing down or tightening up and reducing wages all along the line. Of course there are strikes in many industries. as labor will not accept the wage cuts. which must come in time.
 Commodities are dropping. espec- tally clothing. and believe clothing is fifty per cent less in price than when I reached Seattle last fall. All lines must come down with wages and it will probably take q year to restore conditions to the nonnal again: may be longer than that When one sums .he whole situation up Alaska looks good to most people and. candidly. believe We are better off than any section of the world today.
 q have been basling in the shades of Juneau's snow capped mountains since .he 18th of last November and from all indica tions will be some time longer. However the weather here has been about all you could ask for. The sun has shone most of the time twhem it was not raining) and The weather has not been cold to a person who is accustomed to such minor things in this Northland of CUTS.
 Juneau is good town and has a future. While 1t is quiet at present, there are many things in sight to make a marked change the coming sumr.ier People in the East are looking to AL aska for their future papar supply and this section of the territory has a sup ply of spruce wood that is especially suitable for pulp and good for very little else. While it lequires vast ", pito1 fo f;pap,a , p,lr ,p., v,,r,.,r ,,, III stin there is ample money in sight for anything in that line, even tho other lines are hard to promote at present.
 You could not find finer class of people anywhere than is in Juneau. It seems they put themselves out to make i. pleasant for strangers and I will guarantee that when the boys re- turn to Nome from the Legislature they will say Juneau is all right
 Have been on the sick list for the past ten days with very severe cold but am feeling better now. After I get q month in California will prob ably feel like kid and tr1is. to re- turn to Nome well fitted for the sum mer's rush. I look for q rush North. ward the coming spring on account of the condi.ons Outside. Don't be sur prised if this comes true. Mrs. Reed is in the East and has been for some time. but will meet me in California '

No Overproduction.

-'Production is still our crying
need" says James 81. McGraw, pres
1dent Of the McGraw-Hill Company,
Inc, in an article in the New York
Commercial.
"When the workers of the land
become possessed" he continued,
mot with the desire merely to earn
with less exertion the same wage as
in the past, still less with a lazy
willingness to take even a smaller
return than in the past in exchange
for longer periods Of idleness, but
with the ambition to earn more by
producing more, the troubles of the
industrial world will begin to be
solved
Greater production does not mean
introducing or reverting to the i'm
dustrial slavery of which, we have
heard. 1t implies simply an honest
days work in which native intell-
.gence shall aid inventive ingenuity
TO obtain with a given amount Of
fatigue the utmost yield. It means
throwing off the spirit of Incidence
and exchanging the arid simulacrum
of pleasure that comes with its indul-
-gence for the real rewards-and they
must be material as well as spiritual
that are earned when a task is per-
formed with all the energy and all the
brains that the workman, be he a
captain of industry or the humblest
spriyate, can bring to it"

Irene learned from her club leader
how to finish floors and woodwork and
how to paper a wall. Then she and
a small brother put the lessons into
practice, and the whole interior Of the
house was finished by their efforts.
Her own room she furnished with a
quaint old suite Of furniture which
she made over. The rag rug on the
floor she made herself as we'll as the
curtains at the window. Little money
was expended, but much taste and In
genuity were put into the room.
Besides being an expert gardener
and Gamer, this Madison county girl
can embroider and sew, can cook nice

meal. Last but not least, she finds
time to be leader Of her community

Editors are Easy.

Perhaps the public has had a sur
felt of reading about the rich earn
ings of Tex Richard. Maybe, like
wise, even.teh burdened and supposed
ly unhappy taxpayer is content now
to know that his Uncle Samuel got
about 100000, along with the $780,
900 fortune which came to Mr.. Rick
ard. The sporting fraternity, too, is
doubtless weary of finding out what
big sums were won in betting.
So, as a novelty, why would it not
be interesting to let the public have a
hitherto unexampled peek behind the
newspaper scenes long enough to get
glimpse of the figures on the debit
side of every EDITORS ledger as re-
suit of making it possible for Mr..

Three years ago Irene Garner OF
Madison county, Ala, joined a girls
gardening and canning club. Each
year since she has cleared a good
profit on her work. She gave this to
her parents on condition that they
build themselves new home as soon
as possible. The time before they de-
cided on the step seemed long to the
little club girl, but meanwhile she
kept industriously at the club work
and followed her leaders instructions.
Soon the results Of her efforts be-
came apparent in the home. Then
she persuaded her father to take up
newer lines Of development on his
farm, and last year he built the mod
ern, attractive country home which
had been promised her.

Dempsey and Mr.. Carpenter and Mr..
Richard and the United States govern
ment and a multitude of other indivi-
duals and interests to reap swollen
profits from last Saturdays affair in
Jersey City?
i" Twas victory-yes, but it cost
us dear" mourned the commander of
the shattered army as he reviewed the.
thinned ranks of his troops after the
battle. The American newspaper
editor may we'll be yet more grim in
his summing up of what his part in
making the prize fight a tremendous
success for the money grabbers, of
pugilism cost him.
For the press of the country put
more money-in donated space for
weeks before the match, in salaries to
expert writer's, in pictures, in tele-
graph tolls and in expenditures for
handling the ''story" in other ways
than was taken in at the gates of the
big arena last Saturday. 1t was pos
sible for this condition to come about
because the publishers. bore all the
tremendous expenses accruing to them
while the fight people hung on to all
the money taken in-aside from what
the state and Federal governments
scooped up.
The newspapers "made" a little
off the event-perhaps tenth
as much as they paid out. Their I'M
wonted advertising of the match
brought to it the abnormal attention
it received. An army of sports, cheap
and otherwise, reaped fortunes at the
expense of the sophisticated but in
comprehensive American press. The
editors are easy!-St. Louis Times.

THE EASIEST WAY
TO GAIN A FORTUNE

Speculations and chance-taking are
necessary to progress, so are thrift and
sound investing.
The really wise individual never risks
everything on single hazard. He may use
some of his funds for new promotions and
uncertain ventures, but a substantial portion
of his money he invests for safety, and sure
regular, dependable returns.
To the man with small Capital, or no &C
cumulations the road to financial independ-
ence lies in systematic saving and wise in
vestment in conservative seasoned securi-
ties
The regular, persistent saving and sound
investing of small sums is, after all, not only
the most certain, but the easiest way to gain
an income paying fortune Just how such
method works out is described in our booklet
