Former Woodstock Attorney
Given important Commission

NJ. E. Stickley, of the Income Tax
Court, Washington, D, c., who has
been spending a short vacation with
his mother Mrs. Mary B. c. Suckley on
Muhlenberg Street recently returned
from the Virgin Island where he was
sent BY L S. Government TO adjust
som e matters connected with the In
come Tax in these Islands When he
concluded his work the Governor of
the Islands commissioned Mr.. Stickley
to write an income tax law for the
Virgin Islands, the idea being that as
conditions were found TO be so Diff
ferent from those in America that the
1921 Income Tax Law fails to do justice
to either the government or the natives.
The Governor has asked congress to
abolish the act in SO far as it applies
to the Virgin Islands. Therefore it
is ecessary that separate, new and
complete income tax act which does
meet conditions on these islands, be
drawn and adopted by the Colonial
Cou neil, which is the Legislative body
of the Islands.
Mr.. Stickley has prepared and COM
pleted the act referred to and has for
| warded it to Governor Kittell OF the
Virgin Islands.

GOOD JOLT FOR ALL OF US
Will you be alive next year?

Will you be alive next year?
 This startling question is blazoned In large letters across a page of the New York Times. It probably is causing many to reflect. That s the great need-to make us think; to use the brains that God gave us. Only few of us ever really think, or eves think that we think.
 Less than two per cent of thousands of per sons from every walk of life, examined ln a life extension movement, were found to be nor maj in every respect. More than 100000 per- sons were examined.
 How many of us are just living, depriVlng ourselves of full physical and mental vigof be- cause we are ignorant of the minor defects, which easily could be cured? The human body is a delicate, complicated, wonderful machine. It ought to have standard physical eNamlna- tion at least once every year. This se"vlce would cost little and would assure great ben efits. It would show ones physical trend, ad- vising immediate needs, saving one from un- necessary illness and suffering. Impaired lives can be reclaimed in many cases by sim pie hygienic rules of living.
 Many of us are walking within the shadow of death, serenely unconscious of 1t.
 There's no use paying fees to a Life tNten- sion Institute to get standard physical eX- animation The family physician, right here in Cordova is qualified best for the work and is perfectly faithful and trustworthy.
 Mental and spiritual health, also, will get marvellous improvement, when the physical organs of the body are in harmony.

LET'S TAKE BEARS ALIVE

Instead of killing our huge bears, when they fare forth from their dens two weeks from now, let's dig big pits, as they do for tigers in Siberia, take some alive and put them on exhibition. Tourists would throng here to see them We ought to have at least one to show the President.
 There's merit in this idea of a zoo. Cordova ought to have one, soon as possible, with spec imens of all our beasts and birds
 Most folk never even saw porcuplne, so common in these parts. They've all heard how "porky'' shoots his quills (which he doesn't) and would admire to see him perform He's really wonderful varmint Nature put him here for emergency use by needy trappers and prospectors. His meat is good, in a mul- ligan He is pulled, cap-a-pie, to resist other critters, but is like the "pan" of the hand on the undersde The hide of him is a loose-fit- ting jacket, made to order. He is the Charley Chaplin of the forest. Tap him on the noggln, lay him on his back, cut the skin at the right spot and seize hold of it, holding him down with foot, give quick yanl1 and the pulled jacket comes off with jerk,-and there's your "porky," fat and dandy. The cleaning process is a matter of minutes and the bully is ready for the pot. Sounds cruel of course, but "porky" was made to mourn. What hap ems to pig, or chicken? Colonel Roosevelt ate monkeys in jungle land and declared their chops were yum-yum.

"AGITATING AND CAN'T STOP"

campaign speech, as reported yesterday
 D from Juneau, is 'Elike the infant in the night, an infant crying for the light, and with no language but cry'' He is negative on everything; constructive. He is talking like Ben King, gloomy, discouraged: Nothing to eat but food; nothing to comb but hair; nothing to drink but counterfeit Scotch; noth- ing to breathe but air. He walls against the cannerymen, who employ our people; against the transportation companies, which take us outside, rain or shine, and bring us safely back. He couldn't get anywhere without them. He says the Harding scheme for the merchant ma rine never will float tub.
 All he can do-he says so himself-ls to "extend' his remarks in the Record. In Con- gress to 'extend'' ones remarks means the right to print, at huge expense, lot of bald erdash that never was spoken and had no part in business and that nobody ever reads. Ii five persons can be found in Cordova who read, even occasionally, the Congressional Record, The Times will stand on its head.
 We don't need a high-prlced Delegate to tell us what we CAN'T do, but one Qike Galen) to tell us what we GAN do to open up this country; to talk less, travel less, fight more and put Alaska over the top.
 Mr. Sutherland reminds us of old Neal Dow: We can, and we can't; we shall, and we shan't; we will and we won't; we'll be damned if we do we'll be damned if we don't.
 The jawbone of an ass will never get us any where, unless we raise up David.
 In the language of penance, according to Sutherland, we've done all the things we ought not to have done and left undone all the things that we ought to have done, and there's no good in us Deliver us, good Lord, Spare us, good devil! Angels and ministers of grace, de- fend us! No balm in Gilead, no hope in sight; speeding down greased ways to the valley of despair, in the realm of doubt where the whangdoode mourneth for its first-born.
 The Delegate got started talking that way and apparently he can't stop. If he tries to halt now he will go kerflum mix He reminds us of kangaroo that a Cordova sportsmen wounded while hunting in Australia He took pot shot at big kang' on the bounce The bullet broke the crea- ture's hind-prop, the tripod contraption that balances him, gives him impetus and makes him the long jump champion. The kang' hopped away at a great speed, and when he tried to slow down he found his posterior ap- bondage was useless; it made him wobbly, and flopped and whirled around With every hop the tailless kang' went faster and faster no brake, no balance, no rudder, no prop, and thus he disappeared in the distance.
 Mr. Sutherland is on the Alameda, coming to see us to beard the voter in his den, the Galen in his hall. Everybody will welcome him, s'Helo, Dan'' and give him patient hearing. Hospitality requires this much. We want him to extend his remarks-the more the better. Keep telling us, Dan, keep talking yet-lest we forget-lest we forget.

HOW'D YOU LIKE TO MEET HIM?

There's willapus- wallapus in Brazils Xiv CT of Doubt the mysterious stream discovered by Colonel Roosevelt. It is so big as to beg ger imagination. The dear lamented Colonel is vindicated. He declared the creature exist ed-a survival of the prehistoric ages. It IS water monster shaped like lizard, with jaws and teeth that would make one bite of the biggest brown bear in Alaska. The fattest man would be only taste or appetizer.
 It was seen again lately, dispatches declare, and two exploring parties are trailing it. The critter is the descendant of an ancient monster that terrorized primitive man. It probably was jungle monarch when Eve was baby and Adam was kid-before the angel ran him down and put clothes on him, like they do yet, 'tis said, in the Tennessee mountains when a boy reaches the age of discretion.
 If the Colonel were alive, on reading that dispatch he certainly would be "dee-ighted." :" Pronto he would say, "Bully! Go get 'im!"
 If they capture the monster before 1925, he will be an exhibit at the Oregon Exposition.

The Governor of an Eastern State, accused of swindling, demands that women be put on his jury. If he figures that women, usually sympathetic toward a bold, bad desperado, will be lenient with coward and treacherous sneak, he's making the mistake of his life. They'll hang him higher than Judas.
