MONUMENT TO ADVERTISING

The nickel gave us the Wooworth build ing one of the seven wonders of the twentieth century. Now it has given us the Wrigley building, Chicago's most lofty office structure Spearmint Doublemint and Juicy Fruit put up this magnificent skyscraper
 The building is not only a credit to Mr. Wrigley, but it is ALSO A MONUMENT TO ADVERTISING. It is advertising that gives the nickel its rtune-maIing potency. IL opens up the pulse-strlngs of the masses for the product that sells for only a few cents The vast majority of our 1O5O0O,OO0 popua- ton are prospects for a five-cent package of gum a package of Uneeda biscuit, or a roll of Life-SaVers.
 How the demue nickIe plus advertising mutiplies markets is well illustrated in the case of the astounding success of the five cent package of raisins, recently put out by the California Associated Raisin company. The nickel unit wrought this business mir acle, just as it has done in so many cases.

way on the other hand Lines of trade and communication in Alaska lead toward the Outside There is more travel and traffic be- tween Cordova and Prince William Sound and Southeastern Alaska than between those plac- es and the country that lies west of them. With the Alaska Railway i'll operation that will ap- ply further. The Copper River country will be Ill closer communication and acquaintance with Southeastern Alaska than with the Panama and Yukon Valleys and the line of communica- ton between that portion of the Yukon Valley in the vicinity of Eagle and the Fortymile dis trict lead up stream and to Southeastern Alas ka rather than to the Alaska Railway.
 Therefore, if Alaska should be divided it should be along the lines suggested. We could have East Alaska and West Alaska. East Alas ka could start with three or four countless with County Seats at Ketchikan, Juneau, Cor dova and, perhops, Eagle. Later, as the coun- try developed, more countries could be created
 If Alaska is to be divided such division as that outlined here would give each of the Ter ritories sufficient area and natural resources for a State, and when a Territory is created it is with the idea of eventually erecting it into State. There is no State west of the Mis- som River with as small an as has South eastern Alaska alone-Juneau Empire.

INTERSTATE MIGRATION A BENEFIT

We are hardly conscious of the great inter state migration that takes place every year in the United States, but were 1t to cease for time we should be sensible of something lost. America is our common country because the people are free to move about ln It and they avail themselves of the privilege.
 Interstate migration accounts for the rapid settlement of the country for the practically uniform character of the nation s population. This movement, which has been constant for many decades, is responsible for the existence of the American nation.
 The winning of the West was accomplished hv people from the East, and the movement to- ward the setting sun is still going on But CO., incidental with it is a counter movement. Am bilious youths from the West head for the old- der centers of population to take advantage of conditions or opportunities which seem not to exist where they were born. The exchange is of mutual benefit to the different sections and of immense advantage to the country as a whole.

GERMANY's GREAT OPPORTUNITY

There can be little doubt that the recently sioned treaty between Russia and Germany although perhaps temporarily suspended, Will lead to a restoration of the commercial rela- tions which formerly existed between those two countries For many years Russia found one of her largest markets for raw materials in Germany. Germany, as an intensive manu- featuring country, turned those raw materlals into finished products, returned some ot them to Russia in payment for the raw materials and shipped the rest to all parts of the globe.
 In the year before the war Russia had a favorable trade balance of about $Io,OOO,OOO, but in her trade with Germany alone the bal ance against her and in Gemany's favor was about $1O0,0O0000 Approximately 94 per cent of Russia's exports were either food stulIS, raw materials or half-manufactured articles to be used in further manufacture in other countries. ..~
 That situation in industry and commerce made Russia a subject nation-subJect to Germany. Because Germany was her closest neighbor and the most eager bidder for her raw materials, trade relations were gradually established in such a manner as to be be- wound successful competition from other coun- tries Every suggestion that Russia build up her own manufacturing interests under the in flucnces of a protective tariff was defeated through the influence of Germany diplomacy, either political or commercial.
 Thus Russia not only formed the habit ot sending practically all her raw materials abroad but failed to develop within her own houndres skilled workmen capable of con- ducting manufacturing enterprises. The train ing of men not merely to do the manual labor i-i of 1fa ctJ Jrln terprises and the sale of manufactured products is something that cannot be done III short period Through many generations Germany has built up the uneXcelled manufacturing sys- tenn which was the basis of her prosperity.
 Russia has the natural resources-the raw materials, the fuel, the water power, the man. power-all that she lacks is that long course of training which will give her the skill to make use of her own resources.
 If this latest treaty shall prove to be- as it seems to be, an evidence of the restoration of tn former close commercial relations between Germany and Russia the greater benefit will certainly be reaped by the former. Lenln and his associates are sworn enemies of capitalism, and capitalism, of course, is necessary for the development of large enterprises. Germany IS the friend of capitalism and under the protect ing assistance of the government has en- couraged any sort of combination that would tend to increase the foreign commerce of the German empire.
 Under the policies of the Soviet regime Rus sia will continue to be a producer of raw ma terials-a common laborer-while Germany will furnish the skill which turns the raw com terial into highly manufactured products at the far higher compensation which the skilled 1aborer receives.
 The new treaty holds out little promise for Russia; it promises much for Germany.

"Flat Below" to be Groomcd for

"PlayS are not written, but re-
written and there il no play written
that does not require touching I'D,
after 1t has been tried out a few
times before an audience" said Mr..
Muse few days ago, in discussing
the new play, "The Flat Below !"
With this point In view, the produc-
ers, Miller and Lyles, Sissle and
Bake, have planned to keep the "Flat
Below" Negro drama, out Of New
York for at least four weeks.
This unique play Is a study Of
Negro life In Harlem. It has been
In rehearsal for about five weeks and
when 1t has actually entered reality
by being acted on stage before an
audience, then it's directore, Clarence
T.. Muse, can gauge what in It goes
and what does not. This play will
be carefully groomed before it is
brought to Broadway.
1t looks as If Messrs. Mile and
Lyles, the iauthors, have written the
proper kind Of Negro drama to be
placed before q Broadway audience,
and II It is true, the co-authors of
Shuttle Along" will be in for anoth-
