INTERESTING G'ITEMS

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 12- Those who brave the long voyage to the South Seas in the hope of escaping the extravagances of civilization are like ly to meet with bitter disillusionment before they have been in the islands many hours.
 The hectic atmoshphere of the metropolitan dance hall has been wait cd across the long miles of blue sea to these isolated shores and Broadway flaunts brazenly through the shadows of the cocoanut groves. The gramo- phone has come to Tahiti and has been acquired by every native who could find the wherewithal. And now the peaceful silence, broken heretofore on- v by the sound of the distant boom ng of the surf on the barrier reef and he soft cadences of native singing, are shattered by the sonorous blare of he latest jazz or the screech of the
 eigning favorite on the vaudeville circuit.

TOXIC, Jan. 12- Japan's popula- ion during 1919 was increased by only 3O0,OOO as against a usual rate of 528,000, according to an official re- port of the recent census. During 1919 births numbered 1,s23,AS1 and deaths l,5l3,6S7, the net gain, therefore, be- :ng BOB, ,794. Reduced number of mar riages in consequence of higher cost of living is one reason given by the authorities for the falling off. But it is probable that the principal cause was s,n abnormally heavy infant mortality tue to the influenza epidemic.
 The divorce rate in 1913 is unof- f;c.ally returned at 112 per thousand marriages This compares with a Ger f,an divorce rate of 21.6 which is the big.,ast in Europe: It should be re- .nen,bcred that these unofficial statis- tics are subject to correction.

BUY IT INTER HOME TOWN
 THE TOWN WITHOUT A STORE

Suppose the Town of Seward should wake up some morning and find it. self without a solitary store. |:
 What would the citizens of Seward think?
 WAat would they say!
 We should be confronted with stu pendous problems like those our fore fathers had to meet. If . package of oatmeal or coffee was required, an or der would have to be sent away for 1t. Two or three weeks would elapse be- fore the arrival of the coffee or oat- meal. In the meantime the morning cup of coffee or the morning dish of oatmeal could not be had. If dress were being made for one of the child ren for the Sunday School Picnic or a birthday party and some trimmings were required, instead of being able to secure them at once. the dress would have to go without them or be laid aside until the trimmings came. Ina zine Seward without store. Most ot the folks who live in Seward are proud of taeir town and # anyone wants to commence an argument with . Seward man or woman in Anchorage or any other town let them try to knock Sew ard. Our spirit is right. but our prac- tiees don't back up our spirit. Tn majority of us have been doing our best c number of times each year to erase Seward from the map of Alaska. How? By sending our good money to mail order houses for goods which ca,. Do bought right in Seward.
 Let us give local merchants who a. sertise the same generous deal we give the mail order houses and We will find hat they cannot only match the price when the parcel post, freight or ex- press charge to Seward is added, but he will be able to beat in the major hy of instances- the best mail order price when quality Is studied. Giving the local merchants the same gener- oas deal doesn't mean dropping in just now and then for a petty demand.
 It means placing the big orders with them accompanying these orders them accompanying these osders with cash just as the mail order, house de- paands and then waiting ten days. Sounds unreasonable, perhaps, to ask such e thing. But is it any more un- reasonable to do that by our own home town merchant which we do by the far away stranger? The trouble is most of U. have lcokcd at this matter from oaly See angle. We have been aecus- toned to getting what we. wanted when we wanted. it, from the home town merchant and in many instanc. ss. we have been getting it on credit We compared prices oft times .4sgieessng to add fre;sht or express charges but never once have we compared service. We have taken that for granted. Isn't it about time We gave the home town merchant . square deal! Let us consider service .loas visa prices. Lst us stop sending our geod cash away. Let us make a con. sersed .efteEt to .kssp it home where # will have aa epportnaity to fslI into Cur hands asaia. Let ius make our sarchasing slogan "BBUY IT IN THE HOME. ToWN...
