"The cost has in large way been

"In other words, the larger cities

nance cost as a protective measure
for their own social defense, when it
should be recognized that the cost
ought to be allocated more justly to
each community in the land, as its

mass of unfortunates who came from
the small communities to metropoli-
tan cities each year to hide their
condition from those they know.

, "Such things" said the field man
ager, "is the best sort of advertising
and any time another conclave is
given in Mt. Sterling the larger will
be the attendance. Mt. Sterling
should feel proud of the Legion, not
only because they helped win the
war, hut for the reason that the Le-
gion is able to cope with any stu
alton that may arise" -.
, 1t is understood that Mohr will
arrange TO see that some of the
, money from the campaign will re-
main in this city.

How A Bank Check Should
 Be Made Out

A check is a written order on a bank to pay certain sum of mon ev to somebody. Checks are usually made payable to some person, firm or corporation and are usually writ reb on blank forms furnished by the hank on which such checks are drawn. Checks should be made out fulIv and clearly in order that the hank may know exactly what you are ordering it to Go. See that the written amounts and the figures on vour checks are identical. In case they do not agree, the written amount takes precedence over the figures. but the bank may decline to nav either amount because it does not know your exact wishes. In this event the che4k would be re turped marked Amounts Differ. Do not place the fgures so far away from the dollar mark that other figures could be inserted. The same rule applies when writing out in words the amount of money to be paid. Start close to the left hand margin and if any vacant space re mains between the words giving the amount and the printed word Dol lars" fu it in with a wavy line. It is important that you write your name naturally. and in the same manner in which you wrote it on the signature card If you wish Go obtain money from your bank, make a check payable to Bearer" or tu "Cash" and the bank will pay it up on presentation. You can also oh. tain cash by making a cheek payable 10 yourself and tLeu endorsing il by writing your nav.e on the back Of the check The holder of a check may present it to tEe bank on which it is drawn. requesting the bank to certify upon it's face that the draw CTS account is good for the amount of the check, in order to make ir more easily negotiated
 This the bank may do by writing or stamping "certiGad," good when properly endorsed or other equiv alent words on ,ts face. When a bank ccrtides a check it assumes re spousibiIiJy for payment-AB.A A.

\. F. C. POWER PLANT IN
 ANCHORAGE DESTROYED

The big power plant, owned and operated by the Alaskan Engineer ing commission, burned to the ground late yesterday afternoon. AS a result of the fire Anchorage is ex- periencing pioneer days of tallOw dip candles. kerosene and gas lamps. The experience, however, will be temporary, for within one week or ten days the capable commission of fcials will have installed a plant similar in mechanical and driving force and generating power for An chorage business houses, residences and commission buildings.
 The fire started at AIS yesterday afternoon and gained rapid head way, due to the extreme dryness of the Aamable material. Origin of the fire is said to have been from the overloaded smokestack igniting the wood under the sheet iron roof.
 The overheated condition of the large smokestaCk was due to it's burning out a few minutes before the fire started. P. J. Mcdonald was in charge of the plant at the time. No blame is attached to any one and the heavy atmospheric conditions unquestionably caused the soot in the smokestake to burn out, causing the extreme heat. This theory is arrived at from similar oc- currences and, according to experts, is a common occurrence; many sim liar fires being cited by such reliable citizens as Jack Chovin, F. o. Berry and others in a position to know Anchorage Times.

Suggests Junk ing For Seattle
 Street Cars

Seattle.-Immedia junking of much of Seattle's present street rail way rolling stock, immediate invest ment in several million dollars worth" of new equipment, and a new refunding scheme, were recom- mendations of Peter Witt, Cleye- land traction expert. that today con fronted the city council. Seattle's present rolling stock, representing large part of the value for which the city had paid $15,OOO,OOO in bonds, is worthy CAly of the junk pile, Witt told the councilmeu in advance of his written report.
 Witt recommended that the city at once invest at least S2,OOO,OO0 in replacements of its cars and motors, without which, he declared, it will be impossible to make economies in service or greatly improve it.
 He further recommended that the city should at once confer with the boudhoIders (The Puget Sound Traction Light & Power Company on a proposal 10 replace the present outstanding bonds with a new issue of 25 years duration; no payments to be made toward the principal for 10 more years.-FX.

GOVERNMENT STARTS SUIT
 FOR RETURN REINDEER

A suit entitled United States vs. Lomen X Co. involving the title to a large number of reindeer in the possession of Lomeu & Co. was filed in the district court at Nome re- gently. According to the complaint it appears to be the contention of the government that white people cannot lawfully acquire title to fe- male deer. The Lomen company is alleged to have purchased a herd of reindeer from the Norwegian Evan gelicaI Lutheran church of America in January, 1916. which herd was originally placed in charge of the mission by the government for the purpose of distribution among the Eskimos. It is charged by the gov erumeut that the church acquired no title to the deer and therefore could not transfer them to the de- fandant corporation, Lomeu & Co. are alleged to have paid $5742 for the deed to the Synod of the Nor wegian Evangelical Lu h CT n Church of America.
 Among other things the complaint prays for an accounting and deliv- cry 10 the United States of all the female deer and the increases there of since January l, 1916.
 Assistant District Attorney Hugh O'Neiu. upon being interviewed by a representative of the Nome Mug get. stated that he was instructed to commence the suit by the depart ment of justice and to do so with out further delay. The letter from the attorney general 10 this effect was dated at Washington, August 6, and was received in the last mail.-

He proposes to speed up the plans whereby America can he again on a sound normal basis of operation.

He also struck the note Of announcement for the cooperative market program to aid the farmers in the disposition of their products. There must be a ST seding up of the reclamation legislation for the aid of the exsoIdiers that they may be provided with more homes.

QUALITIES THAT WIN SUCCESS
Probably the Greatest Among Them Is That Subtle Something We
 Know as Personality.

It takes more than mental ability to make a man and more than the qualities that are supposed to make for success itself. It Is not so much what a man knows, or his ability in applying 1t, as 1t Is in what he is himself.
 There turks in some human beings, in OverfOwing measure, that subtle something termed personality which Is likely to carry them much farther than anything else. Probably charac- ter, courage and dependability are the three great assets. Theodore Roosevelt In his own biography writes of the two kinds of success, the one being the result of natural gifts. the other being acquired slowly, and adds: "I need hardly say that all the successes l have ever won have been of the second type. I never won any thing without hard labor and the eN- erclse of my best judgment and care ful planning and working long in od- vance. was as young man at first both nervous, and dlstruStfuI of my own proweSs. I had to train myself painfully and laborIousIy not merely as regards my body. but as regards my soul and my spirit. '-EXrhanre.

FEET MOST ABUSED MEMBERS
According to English Writer, Only About one-Thlrd of Humanity
 Walk In Natural Manner.

The human foot is one of the most beautiful and useful instruments ever conceived. but, unfortunately, 1t is not what a motorlst calls ''foolprOof."
 There Is a great deal of misunder- standing about our feet. We treat them outrageously, as either custom or fash lon may dictate. As a result, about one-third of the population is splay- footed, another third walks like hen on hot cinders, and the remaining third may be said to walk fairly nat ural.
 The foot has a graceful arch run ning fore and aft. We take this longi- tudlnal arch, turn the toes outward so that the heels meet at an angle of 45 degrees, and then put all our pres sure in a skew direction across the arch. No railway engineer would dream of building a straight arch bridge 10 carry loads neither across nor along the arch, but irregularly askew over It.
 We ought to walk with our great toe pointed straight in the direction of progress, as Indian runners do, and spring from the great toe" Instead, most of us "take off in a numbering sort of way from the ball of the great toe.
 The arch of the foot Is supported largely by the tendon which runs un- der the foot to the great toe Itself, and thIs neglect of use renders this ten don weak and lax, and causes depres- sion Of the arch. The best care for weak arch is the practice of raising ones self upon the great toe, that Is, doing as a penalty exercise what you should have done all along naturally. If you will try when walking to keep the feet straight, and to end each stride with a little spring" off each big toe alternately, you will be re- warded by finding that progress seems easier, quicker and more buoyant.- London Daily News.

The desire for freedom and patriotism is the theme of her many old songs, just as her modern music Is the expression of h. tense struggle against oppression.

City LarnsIY Built or Piles.

A considerable part of the fouuda- tlons of the city Of Venice Tests on piles that were driven into the muddy shadows of the Adriauc more than 1000 years ago. The tsIlest structure of the city for many years was the campsnIle or bell tower of St. Mark s cathedral. It was a massive structure Of brick which rose to a height of 323 feet, and the piles for its foundation were driven In the year S74. The first campanIle was built In 9O0. In 1929 the foundation was enlarged by driy- ing more piles, and the tower was re- built. In l5l2 an earthquake brought 1t tumbling down, but a new campanl.e was immediately erected. This fell July l4, 1902, owing to the gradua. failure of the foundation. New piles were then driven and a new campauile was erected in l9O5 on a reinforced concrete foundation.

The basket social given by the Halnes Athletic and Social Club. tn A. B. hail last Saturday evening, was very largely attended, the hall being packed to its utmost capacity. The hall was handsomely larorated with the flags of our country and fhe colors of the Haines Athletic and Social Club. The selecting of the baskets at auction would put one in mind of a day in the stock exchange in either New York or Chicago. The bidding was very lively. Mr. c. D. Gray. the prtnci- pal of the public school, odtciated as auctioueer. and from the way the people made their bids. shows him Co be remarkably good. One bas- ket brought the nice little sum Of sixteen dollars. pretty good price to pay for 8 lunch.
 After the sale of the baskets, dancing was induIged in until the early morning hours. Punch (wtth- out a kick in fU and coffee was served with the lunch, The music was furnished by the Fort Seward orchestra. which is a guarantee that iJ was good.
 The Fort Seward and Hatnes bas- ket ball teams are going to play in the A. B. hall tonight. and 1t will undoubtedly be a lively and inter asrirg game If the red cross was in operation here. I would suggest that they be on hand with their first and kits Co take care of the wound ed.
