The erection of another cannery aa Uganik by a local concern is a good thing for this section of Alaska. All help will be drafted from the ranks of home labor, and the money derived from the pack will be spent at home. One cannery like this is worth all the big foreign canneries that can be crowded into the fishing grounds.

THE CITY RAT AND THE

AS Thanksgiving approached the
City Rat began to cast about for
some Poor Fish to take her out to
dinner. (The alluring menus of
Broadway cabarets have been re-
sponsible for the downfall of more
girls than the stage ever dared to
hope for.) The City Rat was no ex-
ception when her mouth began to

her acquaintance were Dated Up to

The Town Mouse didn't have to

Thanksgiving when they gathered
at the Home Place where the turk

EARNING HIS MONEY

A young lawyer, who had just
been admitted to the bar, was in
the court room hoping to get a
case. A burglar came up for trial
and being without lawyer, the
judge appointed the young lawyer
to defend him.
The young legal light asked the
Judge how much time he should use
for his summing up. "The full
time, of course" replied the Judge
"The full hour? Why there ISM
enough to say to take up the full
hour" replied the young lawyer.
"Never mind that" retorted the
judge. The point is that the longer
you talk, the longer you will keep
your client out of JAIL" Los An

HOW FAR WOULD A TRAIN GO
If THE ENGINE WERE
TAKEN OFF?

Recently William Wrigley, Jr., of
chewing gum fame, was travelling
on a fast train from New York to
Chicago. A fellow traveller engaged
him in conversation, and during his
remarks asked Mr.. Wrigley how
much money his company spent for
advertising each year. When he
was told the vast sum spent for
that purpose, the man asked, "Why
do you continue to spend so much
money for advertising when the pub
lie knows your product so well?"
Mr.. Wrigley answered by this
way: "We're making pretty good
time on this train to Chicago, aren't
WEI" 1--WE certainly are" replied
the man. "Then do you think we'd
keep it up very long if we took the
engine Off"
Advertising is like riding on a
train. Take it from another angle.
Suppose you went to the Lambert
vile station and asked the agent for
a round-trip ticket to Philadelphia.
The agent would ask you to pay
$3.50. Then suppose you objected
that it was too much-that you
could buy a round-trip ticket to
Trenton for only $1.16. The ticket
agent would size you up as fool.
You can get cheap advertising,
but it doesn't carry you very far.
A newspaper that reaches few peo-
pie will give you cheap rates. If
another newspaper reaches twice as
many people and only charges you
one-fourth more for space, then it
is really less expensive in the long
for it gives you more returns.
That's why you should advertise in
this paper.

Awaiting her train she sat de-

His every action denoted a desire to
flirt. The demure one apparently
saw him not.
Nothing daunted, he walked over
in front of the young woman and
asked: Didn't / see you get on the
train at Sedalia ?"
"What did you say" replied the
young woman, cupping her hand be-
hind her ear.
Didn't you get on the train at
Sedalia?" came back the query in
slightly louder voice.

By this time the f1irt was rather
flabbergasted. In a voice heard sew
eral seats away his face a violent
ride, he shouted: "Did you get on
the train at Sedalia? ?"
"Not that l remember" she ans
wered.
The not-so-gay "blade," the cyno-
sure of a grinning crowd, made a
quick getaway.
A few minutes later a redcap ap-
preached.
"Your train is here" he announced
in mild tone.
"Thank you," she replied
Her hand was not at her ear,

A SOLDIER WITHOUT A
COUNTRY
VETERANS COLUMN"


The cleanup squad of the United
States Veterans Bureau, operating
at Grand Rapids, Mich, has discov-
cred a veteran who is apparently "a
soldier without a country" He is
C. H. Pearl, who enlisted in the
American Ambulance Service in the
French Army in 1917. While Pearl
was in the hospital as result of
a shrapnel wound his organization
was transferred to the United States
Army, and Pearl, being in the hos
pital, was overlooked, He was un-
able to show by official records that
he served in the United States Army
during the war, neither could he
prove he was actually in the service
of any country when he was released
from the French hospital. The
cleanup squad will endeavor to get
the necessary evidence on which to
file claim, so hiatt this disabled vet
eran will obtain compensation.

FOND MEMORIES FROM
OVERSEAS

When the strains of the famous
doughboy song of the World War,
-"Hinkey, Dinkey, Parlez Vous"-
resounded through the halls of the
Minneapolis Federal Court recently,
dozen bailiffs started on a hunt
for the entertainer. They found in
the person of Art Smith, the "One-
man band of the A. E. F." He was
playing his banjo, and as juror
himself, was teaching some of the
fifty-seven verses of his song to
other jurors.
Although the bailiffs put stop
to the music on the grounds that
Smith was in court, not concert,
the jury voted Smith the life of the
party.

Ebert Hubbard said once "There
are five writer's with style in the
United States"
He named William Marion Reedy,
James G. Huneker, Ambrose Bierce,
Edgar Saltus, and suggested that
we name the fifth one ourselves. OF
course we promptly named Ebert
Hubbard as the fifth immortal.
If he had selected the five artists
in style in Great Britain, we feel
certain that Walter Pater would
have been included in the list. Pater
was very precise in his choice of
words, the exact one would do, and
no other.
He must have had in mind Flau-
bert's words: ''There are no syno-
nyms, hunt for the right word and
use it,"
