GOTWALs SAYS DRILLS WILL
 BE DELAYED IN COLD BAY

That drilling by the Standard and Associated Oil companies in the Cold Bay field will be delayed sometime and will probably not be- gin before June, nez. year,is the op- inion Of Col. J. z. Gotwalz, chief Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission, who recently spent several days al Kanatak and went out to the claims where the first wells are to be drilled.
 Transportation handicaps form the principal cause for delays en- countered by the oil interests. The route to the field from Kanatak leads directly over a high pass back Of Kanatak which greatly cuts down the operating capacity of the trac- tors used in hauling freight. Owing to the steep grade over this pass. each tractor is limited 70 two tons per load The Standard Ol alone has about 700 tons to be tre:ghte5 in to the claims and has but two ma chimes available for the work. Both companies are now transporting their equipment and supplies to the scene Of future drilling,
 There is l.ctle question as to the bringing in Of producing wells in the opinion Of the oil engineers on the ground. There is some talk by them and others of 2 refinery being es- tablished there by he Standard Oil Company but nothing definite could be learned about the matter
 There are about I50 men at Kan atak And any stampede to the district ar this .iae. said Colonel Gotwals. would be inadvisable. Per sons going there this winter should be prepared to take care Of them selves as no work will be available. Some ztaking is going oa westward on tle peninsula. ;n the direction Of Chignik. and 1he drilling stars next spring it is expected there will be a considerable rush

The entry of these in- terests in the Fairbanks disrrice is believed to be virtually assured and they are expected to put in num- Der of dredges, beginning next sum nner Their options are good un.il next June. .-:-. ...:. r.

Dear Uncle Jed: While looking ever some of my old school books I came across one article. called Theodore Roosevelt's Idea of a Real American Boy" asked my young brother his opinion and he said, ''one that is born and brought up In Maine" Roese- veit's idea vas very different. He said boy, but of course he meant gifi, also The right kind of an American boy is one who lives In clean atmosphere. He must not be bully. a shirk. or a priE. He must be a ciean-rninded and clean-lived, and able to hold his own under ali circumstances. He must be one that takes an interest in his duty. In f's play. he must play hard. Tn his work, work hard. Roosevelt ras q great American and his life motto vas. Hit the Line Hard-don't foul nor don't shirk. but hit the line hard.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKEs.
 Many of the Wide-Awakes have dogs and cats as pets, and all of you peobably know that the nose of your dog Or cat is wet and cold to the touch if it is in good health. Possibly you do not know why this is and why it should be the nose
 With a dog or a cat it is possible for them to smell better when the nose is at lower temperature than the rest of the body. so that the colder their noses the better they can smell. and it is because they are cold that they are wet When a liquid evaporates it loses heat. which means it becomes colder. dog keeps his nose wet and by the constant evap- oration which occurs keeps it cold, thereby keeping his smelling apparatus in the best of order
 It has been truly said that "a dog lives | by it's nose It decides for him what is fit to eat, 1t finds the way for him when he is lost. 1t warns him of impending dan. ger. and it locates his meals for him. IT 1 fact dog can do nothing without his nose. He recognizes his foods, hir friends and his enemies not by their ap. pearance by looking at then-but chief. ly by scenting their smell with his nose A nose Is everything to a dog. It is nc i wonder, then. that nature has devised . means-ef making the most of it's myste rious powers of scenting.
 This doesn't apply to dogs alone but t, all Animals which depend on their sens, of smell for their living have wet noses Cats in particular have very delieat, sense of smell, and veterinaries will tel you that great care must be exercised ii feeding sick cats, for the nose of sicl cat dries and becomes warm and so i loses it's sense of smell The cat canno then judge what is suitable for it to ca and in the circumstances is likely to ca harmful food.
 Whenever the nose of eat or dog i warm and dry, be careful of it. It mean it Is not in good health and care shoul be taken that 1t doesn't eat anythin harmful when not able to tell the differ ence

The Fair.


 Dear Uncle Jed am writing to you about the Columbia fair which was held Thursday. Aug. "A. at Yoemans hail at 4.3o p. m.
 My aunt, cousin and brother went be- sides myself We started early because we wanted to look around the cemetery.
 When we came out the fair was about to begin. We went in and the first thing that caught my attention was the flower bed. Presents were tied to the flowers and were buried in the bed of sawdust. The flower stuck up to take hold of. They were 10 cents and five cents a pull. I tried and got a string of beads Then tried again and Eot a rubber ball which I exchanged witn my brother for cake of soap shaped like a lemon. This time we all pulled and ws got each bag of peanuts. I wanted to pull once more and this time I got five lily cups. So Ue all went out and got a drink. Then we went in again as my aunt wanted to get something for one oi her children in the flower bed but they were all gone. Then we went to a place where they sold ice cream and got two plates each.
 There was to be a supper at the hal later on. but we could not stay because we lived so far from town. We started to 20 home and on the way we got s ride. was glad to get home because was tired.

The Chueklesmith. If you have shattered heart. Mairned or bruised in any part. You will take 1t, if you're smart,
 To The Chucklesnith. He has tools of rare design, Used with skill superbly fine Just say: Fix this heart of mine iN
 To The Chucklesmith. He's a boy--yet such boy .-- Not too forward, not too coy, But his chuckle is a joy
 That's The Chucklesnnith. He can take an aching heart, Take its troubles all apart Then you'll hear the chuckles start
 In The Chucklesniith You can feel your heartaches cesss As he patches piece by piece; Then you get some chuekle-grease From The Chucklesmith. Tn moment all your woes Seem to ooze out at your toes; Where they go to no one knows Ask The Chueklesmith. He has tools in plenty. too, | For the work he has to do; Lend you some before he's through
 Talk to Chucklesniith. He can show you how to mend | Hearts that break and backs that bend He can make both foe and friend
 Call you Chucklesmith! -william Herschell, in 1ndianapoii | News
