OHIO PAPER
 HAS NOTIONS
 ABOUT VALDEZ

The dispatch is published at Col umbus, the capital of the great state of Ohio, where a future president IS born every few days; Columbus, the seat of one of the greatest educa- tional institutions in the United States. the Ohio State University; Columbus, where the present state , house was old, weather streaked and moth-eaten while yet the rank thistle nodded in the wind and the wild fox dug his hole unscared where Chicago now stands; fine old town that was still using cobblestone streets five years ago on which milk wagons at 4 a. m. could be distinctly heard half way to Cincinnati, town wholly surrounded by rich agricultural district from which horny-handed sons of toll whose glazed vest fronts suggest both dry goods and groceries, bring in their products which they exchange for real money, first biting on it to see that it is real,
 Thus gurgles Stroller's Weekly, of Juneau, in paragraphic introduction to it's reprint of weird story which recently appeared in the Columbus paper on the subject of the pro- posed, Better Homes Week." to be held in Valdez, Alaska Remarks the Stroller further:
 And the Dispatch is quite news paper. Of course, it does not rank with the Cincinnati Enquirer or Strol ter's Weekly, but it is a fairly credit able sheet and is not without hono1 in it's own neighborhood. And, speak ing of honor, if the Columbus Dispatch has any, it will apologize to Valdez which is one of the most mild-man nered and respectable of all Alaskf bailiwicks. Also it is an open DOT to which steamers from Seattle ant elsewhere operate at all times of thu year.
 In it's issue of October the Dis patch printed thrilling story to thu effect that everything used at Valdez including furniture, is freighted iron Juneau, distance of 4S0 miles ant freighted by reindeer, species of ani nal never seen in either Juneau O. Valdez.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-10-31

And the Dispatch goes farther and says there are few homes in Alaska and intimates that what there are need the magic touch of woman's hand to render them habitable. The article in the Dispatch was sent to H. R. Shep- ard by Mrs. Shepard, who is now visit ing in Columbus. It is as follows:
 "Valdez, Alaska, is going to hold a Better Homes week; and better home in Valdez means dragging every article that is needed by rein deer over the snow from Juneau, the capital-a distance of 4S0 miles, or as far as from Raleigh, N. C., to the City of New York. And Juneau is eight days away from Washington by the closest mail connection; longer when the weather is bad.
 There are 466 souls in Valdez. But there is a Woman's Civic Club and there is a Commercial Club and there are four school teachers. And among them they have started a Better Homes campaign which has put heart into the housewives who have struggled so long to make homes against such heavy odds, and has sent the reindeer flying over the military roads with parcels that came by steamboat from Seattle, from Chicago, from New York Or perhaps they carry just words of advice from the headquarters of the Delineator office in New York which show just how rearranging the furni- ture or repainting the walls will make a better home.
 "There are seven other towns in Alaska that are going to surprise more than one shift of husky coal miners when they drop their tools and come back to see what has been going on in their town while they were away. At the invitation of the Honorable Scott c. Bone, governor of the Terri. tory, enterprising Alaska women in each of the eight towns have even undertaken to hold a model-house ex hibition in their communities.
 twill we enter the Better Homes l in America campaign?' said the Gov ernor when the matter was put to him by Mrs. William Brown Maloney, sec retary, advisory council of the Better Homes movement Of course we will We will do anything to further the welfare of the Territory. And there is nothing more important to the wei fare of any community than it's homes
