Jack son, former manager of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, now f Seattle, representing mining inter ests in Alaska. MT. Jackson re- turned to Juneau last night on the Ambassador from Chichagof. He has been inspecting the Hirst-Chich- agoff Gold Mining Company prop erty and a number of prospects in that district.
 With the continuation of prospect ing as it is now being carried on Sooutheastern Alaska will see some good mines in the future, MT Jack son said. While practically every prospect is now in an early stage of development the increase of pros pectors and extensive work will make for big properties.

 I live next door to a young girl who would be really beautiful if it were not for the fact that, when she was child, she had acquired the habit of wrinkling her forehead. Now, as girl of nineteen she has deep wrinkles which greatly mar the otherwise beautiful face.
 Little habits which, in children, do not seem particularly distressing or odious, become a handicap to a grownup. They are certainly not conducive to poise or charm.
 So, let's try and break up any little habits we see children develop ing, while they are still fin em- bryo." for, you know, Habit is a cable; you weave thread of it each day, until at last it grows so strong you cannot break it.

Governor Praises Home Paper

Back your home paper" is the cen
trail idea in recent speech delivered
by ex-Gov. Francis Of Missouri. Mr..
Francis served under President Will
son as ambassador to Russia and was
for long time chairman Of the
Board of Regents of the University Of
Missouri. He says in part:
Each year the local paper gives
from $1,000 to $500 in free lines to
the community in which he is located.
No other agency can or win do this.
'The editor, in proportion TO his
means, does more for his home town
than any other ten men. And in all
fairness he ought to be supported-not
because you like him or admire his
writings, but because the local paper
is the best investment the commu-
nifty can make.
Your local paper may not be bril-
llantly edited or crowded with thought,
but financially It is of more benefit to
the community than the preacher.
Understand me, | do not mean moral
ly and yet on moral questions you
will find most of the papers on the
right side. Today the editors Of the
local papers do the most for the least
money of any people on earth"
