to sell, exchange or give any cig- arettes, cigars or tobacco in any form to any person under the age of eighteen (18) years.
 "Section g.. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than Twenty-Five Dollars (S25. oo) nor more than One Hundred Dol lars (sIoo. oo) for each offense, and upon a second conviction shall be punished by Imprisonment in the Federal jail for not less than one month nor more than six months. "
 On motion the school board was asked to take up the matter of enforcing the above sections with the local officers. It IS not expected that there will be any difficulty in making the law effective. By re- questing the dealers to make no tobacco sales to children under any circumstances there need be no fur ther cause for complaint along that line.
 Fortunately, none of the men who conduct pool halls and card rooms in Wrangell are of the kind who are antagonistic to the en- forcement of the law, and 1t is be- lieved that the sale of tobacco to children, and the lettering of mi nors (under ID in the pool and card rooms will be promptly stopped without it becoming neces- sary for any fines to be imposed.

Only a Little Burg
(From Cordova Times)

"Oh, want to get out of this little burg where folks talk about you every time you turn around. l want to go to place big enough so that 1 can do what I please when 1 please and not have all the neighbors saying 1 am going to he'll or perdition. l want to go where there is life and something doing all the time. am tired of being stuck away in this hole where there's nothing doing and a person has no chance to be anything. l guess Pm big enough and old enough and know enough to care for myself. will say so anyway.
 These are almost the exact words of young lady. of this city in her adolescent age when boys and girls get the idea that they have reached the period in life when parental re- stralnt should be swept aside; when they suddenly blossom forth to full-grown manhood and woman hood, sally forth to dazzle an as- tonished world with the irresistible force of their genius and bring fame to the little burg which once was their home, but from whose narrow confines they fled that they might fulfill the destiny which they felt they were destined to fulfill.
 Perhaps they are old enough to take care of themselves and know enough to do so, but usually it is the case that those who brag about being able to care for themselves are the ones who need the most re- straining.
 Only little burg.
 You can't turn around without the neighbors talking about you.
 We'll, perhaps there is a reason, and your own complaint is the strongest argument why you should not be allowed to go where the ways are greased for you and no one to care enough about where you go to even talk about you.
 Only little burgl
 What are you doing to make it a better placer What would you do to help the city of which you de- mand so much?
 The little burg or the big city is what people who live there make it-and you are one of those.
 Isn't it rather up to you7

Wrangell PIT. A. Starts Movement
 For Better Pictures
 For Alaska Movies

The Parent-Teacher Association held its monthly meeting last Thurs day evening. In a discussion on "The Social Betterment of Our Children. the movies came in for a liberal share of criticism.
 The subject was dealt with in a perfectly sane manner. Almost every one who spoke admitted the great possibilities of the movies, not only for furnishing good, whole some amusement, but for its po- tential power as an educator.
 The character of the pictures shown in Wrangell was discussed in an impersonal manner. There was not one word of censure for the manager of the local picture house, as every one realized that he is we'll nigh powerless to change present conditions. More than one person spoke words of praise for the energetic and enterprising citi- zen who has recently built show house in Wrangell that is a credit to the town. And no one will deny that some excellent pictures have been shown in Wrangell, but it is also true that not a few of the pie lures shown here have been mon- strosities, a morbid relishing gaie- ty, horrible to be conceived, trait for nightmares.
 It is pretty generally known that in order to bring pictures to Wran- gell the town must be on a circuit, and the manager of the local pie ture house has no voice in the se- lection of the pictures that are sent here.
 However, the Parent Teacher Association is by no means willing to admit that nothing can be done to stop the showing of pictures that are extremely harmful to children and an insult to the intelligence of grown-ups.
 The Parent-Teacher Association realizes that public opinion is the most effective weapon in the world, and that all that is needed to change the present unsatisfactory condition regarding the movies of Alaska is a quickening of the pub lie conscience, and legislative ac- tion on the matter.
 On motion the secretary was di- rected to take up the matter with Attorney General Rustgard with a View to having a law passed by the next legislature that would provide for a Territorial board for the censoring of pictures brought to Alaska.
 The secretary was further direc- ted to communicate with all the other Parent-Teacher Associations of Alaska, and solicit their cooper ation in working to have a law en- acted by the next Legislature that will make the motion picture trust realize that the people of tn. far north propose to have something to say about the kind of pictures that are to be shown in Alaska.
 In the matter of children obtain ing tobacco 1t was the general be- lief that they do so by representing to the tobacco dealers that they are buying for some grown person who has sent them to the store for it.
 Chapter 21, Session Laws of Alaska, 1915:
 Section I. It shall be unlawful for any minor. under the age of seventeen (17) years, to frequent or loiter in or about public pool table, billiard or card rooms, con- ducted for profit, in the Territory of Alaska.

the meeting closed Senator dupont
was discovered down in the middle of
the audience singing the chorouses as
Justify as his neighbor.

situation in the country, Senator

position in plain terms regarding the
