UNCLE WIGGILY AND
DIZZY IZZY

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods
the rabbit gentleman heard Il voice
calling:
.'iNow be careful! Watch out or
you I'll fall. Oh, there you go! -
And another voice answered and
said:
"There, mother, didn't fall af-
ter ALL and 1 caught the bug,
tool"
"Dear me. This is rather strange
thought Uncle Wiggily to himself as
he twinkled his. pink nose. ''Per-
haps L am near circus tent, and

saults without falling over. l must
take a look
So the rabbit gentleman looked
through the trees, but he only saw
two birds, with long, sharp bills,
perched in a tree. One bird was
larger than the other, and, as the
rabbit gentleman watched, the
smaller bird leaned away far over
on the limb where he was perched.
"Look out, you II surely fall
now!" chattered the other bird.
"Oh, but you make me so dizzy do
ing that. Oh, you're going to fall!"
Then the smaller bird, after lean
ing over so far that he almost
turned completely around the tree
branch, laughed and said:
"There, mother, / didn't fall,
and I caught another bug
''This is very curious-I must
see what it's all about" thought
Uncle Wiggily. So he hoped over
beneath the tree where sat the two
birds. "What is the meaning of
all this9" he asked.
"Oh, how do you do" Uncle
Wiggily?" greeted the larger bird.
"We are woodpeckers, you know,
and l have been teaching my little
boy bird how to dig for worms and
bugs inside the trees.'
'And sometimes the worms and
bugs are on the outside of the
bark" chirped in the little boy
bird.

Mrs. Woodpecker. "And my little

"What is his name?" asked I'm

"Well, when he first came out of

" But since he has taken to stand

since then 1 call him Dizzy Izzy.
"And very good name it is,
I'm sure" said Uncle Wiggily,
with "A polite twinkle of his pink

"Not yet" answered the little

"But IN sure he will, some

Well, the rabbit gentleman said

from the bushes jumped the Fuzzy

IS IT HEROIC TO BE DISLOYAL?

Two sensational New York pulpiteers have recently gained additional notoriety by an- nouncing that they do not believe in the fundamental doctrines of the organizations from which their salaries are derived. In stead of getting out of these churches they propose to stay inside, inveigh against the regularly declared doctrines of these com munions, and attain martydrom, if possible, by heresy trials.
 When any member of church or politi- cal party or any other organization having a doctrna basis ceases to accept the funda- mentals of it's faith, there is just one honest and decent thing for him to do, and that is to quietly get out There is plenty of room out side of any organization for the man who has ceased to believe in it. To wear the uniform of country and try to wreck it, to wear the livery of a church and use the pulpit of the church to attack it, reveals a moral defect that is more important than any question Of belief The man who does this and heralds himself as hero, is a very long way from being that
 Why does a man who does not believe in the underlying doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal church want to be an Episcopal rector? Why does a man who has ceased to hold to the cardinal tenets of the Baptist church wish to continue to be a Baptist minister?
 Fidelity is one of the finest traits in human character The man who parades dislovatv as a virtue may gain the applause of the enemies of the institution with which he breaks faith, but in the eyes of people whose opinions are worth while he is not making a very pleasant spectacle of himself.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL SHARES PROSPERITY

Contrary to the philosophy of an Alaskan editorial writer the development of Alaska's s natural resources by Outside capital does not mean the dividing of Alaska among Eastern investors. Rather does it mean the establish ment of towns in Alaska with homes for Amer

If the capitalist or capitalists make money 1t also means that multitude of others are made more prosperous. The Guggenheims, for instance, are not the only people who have profited by the building of the railroad at Cordova and the development of the Kenne
 colt properties Hundreds of happy people who have prospered at their professions and trades and in business and industry at Cor
 dova and the Copper River communities are the living proof of this. That is an illus
 traton of development everywhere throughout the West. In the beginning even the farms depend upon development of natural resources through capital from older communities for a market for their products. That not only is true in Alaska but it has been true with practically all the frontier sections of the country from the beginning. The prospector, trail blazer and pioneer come first. Then comes

COPPER OUTLOOK EXCELLENT

Conditions in the copper industry at the close of 1922 can be summarized thus: War scrap has been utilized. The cheaper sub stitutes, having been tried and found want
 ing, are being replaced by copper. Most of the stock of marketable copper existing at the end of 1922 has been sold for delivery in the first quarter of 1923. Current consumption is in excess of current production. Stocks at mills in the United States are normal; fore gn mills have no supplies. The outlook for 1923 is decidedly encouraging for the producers because of the advancing price and for the fabricators because of the better margins they are getting for their products, says Joseph Clendenin of Guggenheim Bros, in the an- nual review number of the Engineering and Mining ,Journal-Press of New York.
 Should the 1923 bookings open up in March at anything like the rate of March, 1922, and should the foreign demand develop as it now promises to do, the producers may find it difficult to supply the metal in the quantities called for The demand is excellent here. and good from Germany, France, Italy and Scan dnavia. It is not so good from England, al though steadily improving. With stabilized exchange, or even a promise of 1t, demand from Europe will arise for enormous quanti- ties of copper. European countries are buying largely, even under present conditions, but not in proportion to what they need, and must buy when the money is available to pay for it. The German mills are busy on eX- port orders, for which they can compete re gardless of the exorbitant price they must pay for the copper, in marks, because of their low labor cost which represents a large part of the cost on export orders. They get for eien currency in payment for their exports. which in turn enables them to pay cash for the copper The low value of the mark oDer- ates the other way on copper-made articles for domestic consumption, trade that has fallen off considerably.
 The stock is now more nearly normal than it has been at any time in the last four years. The industry recovered in March, and contin- ued satisfactorily, with occasional lapses. to the end of December, exceeding last years bus mess by over 50 per cent. For 1922, the pro duction promises to be about 1,900,O00,OOO pounds.
 The worlds supply of copper js now coming from the United States 62 per cent; South America, r per cent Japan, per cent; Mex ico, Canada, and Cuba, per cent Europe (chiefly Germany and Spain) per cent; South Africa, per cent; Australia, per cent. Mine production in this country is being pushed to the limit of labor supply; South America has increased output considerably: in other countries there is little change. The export demand has come from Germany, B per cent; France, 20 per cent; the Orient, 12 per cent; England, 12 per cent; Italy, Ii per cent; Belgium, 6 per cent; elsewhere, 4 per cent.
