ALASKA, AMERICAN NORTHLAND'

A book with the foregoing title has just been published by the World Book Company as tue second of series of Inter American
 Geographical Readers the first being "A Central American Journey" by Roger w. Bab-
 son. Isabel Amber Gilman, who was for
 many years a teacher in the Alaska schools, IS the author of the book. The book is pro- fusely illustrated with engravings from photo graphs and contains number of excellent maps. It is written in a highly interesting and entertaining style and meets real need in thut~it presents authentic information cd1 cerning Alaska in such a form as to be easily read and interpreted by children. At the same time it is by no means too elementary for adults. Without doubt this book will be widely used in the schools of the United States and thus will remove many of the mis- conceptions concerning Alaska which exist in the mind of the average resident of the States. Needless to say it will be welcomed by Alaska teachers and will be used in both Territorial and Federal schools
 The following statement by the publishers appears on the title page:
 "At some future date Alaska may be our forty-nintl: state-the largest and richest of all. Potentially, it holds just the qualities necessary for strong and efficient statehood: it can be inhabited by people from temperate countries; it's climate is healthful and vigor ous; and it's possible industries are of much the same character as those already estab- lished in the various states of the Union. It's tremendous resources need only proper devol- opment and careful management to become source of vast wealth both for Alaska it. self ard the rest of the United States. But this development must be carried on intelli-. gently and with the cooperation of the people of tue whole country. World Book Company, therefore, offers Alaska: the American North land'-jhe second of the Inter American Geo. graphical Readers-to the schools of the United States and Alaska, with the hope that the boys and girls of today who read it will be among the men and women of tomorrow who will help bring the United States and her great northern territory into closer re lationsn;p and thereby give to Alaska its opportunity to gain the place it deserves.'

THE MARTYRDoM OF MONTENEGRO

Montenegro, the first of allies in the World War to enter the struggle, has lost in 1t more than one-half of its fighting men and one-third of the civil population perished through privations and famine. And while the Bolsheviki and Greeks, who were not our allies, have received most generous help, the people of the Black Mountain have been en- tirelv forgotten because proudly they have never begged and did not know how to adver- tise themselves.
 4 tiny spot on the map of Europe, Monte nee"o has a history of heroism unsurpassed bv other nations This hardy race of clean living Christian mountaineers has been rec ognized for centuries as the bulwark of Chris tianitv. and no people have more deserved this glorious title, because they have been the eternal scouts of the Cross against the Cres- cent. forever on the alert, on their snowy peaks never conquered by the barbarc musul- mcr hordes.
 A Montenegrin Humanitarian Mission is at present in this country headed by Ills ES- cellencv Doctor Vladimir Petrovich for the purpose of revealing to the world the appalling conditions of his country, ru1ned by the oc- equations of relentless foe whose nm perialistic aim has been thwarted by the m do1oitable love of liberty of the fiery llttle nation. .,
 This mission does not concern itself with political ccndtions; it's aim IS entirely ol mercy and will not discuss any other subject than that of helping suffering country mon. Their Patrons Committee IS formed o1 multitude of American citizens, all of whom are very high personalities.
 Two hundred thousand women and ch'loreh are y1ar7rinn and in many instances are eating nrass 10 sustain themselves. More than looOo homes have been burned, and thousands or refugees are crowding neighborlng countries, where they are not better off.
 The Methodist Church and the Pope of Rome have helped the starving mountaneerS and His Holiness gave means and cncoura"P- ment tc the mission to the land of the free to seek bread.
 Men cannot live by bread alone but men must lave bread to live at all.
 Today Montenegro has no bread. She mas saved her national soul by loyalty to- ideals and in the world crisis she gave all she had to save others.
 Evcn her small military contribution count ed then, because her stubborn resistance to tho Austrian force gave the larger Serblan time, ;r.sl as Belgium's resistance saved the French.
 But Montenegro's unique value to the world is moral And the free people that have bread cannot afford to let the light of liberty 1hev live by go out on the Black Mountain for want of the crumbs that fall under then tables.

WHAT Is NEWS?

Metropolitan dailies of the United
States have carried pages of publicity
and illustrations of the Dempsey
Gibbons prize fight or boxing match"
at Shelby, Montana. Relays of air
planes rushed photographs to the At
lantic coast for publication and no
amount Of money was spared to pic
ture the event through the press and
the films Dempsey has been given
millions of dollars worth of advertis
ing which will pave the way for his
proposed fight with Luis Firpo, the
recent victor over Willard.
Contrast the publicity given to
these events with the few lines that
are sent out over the wires when a
railroad places a $50,0OO,00O order for
equipment or material which will give
employment to thousands of workmen
for months; or when hydro-electric
plant, built at a cost of from $25, 900
900 to $10O,OOO,OOO turns in the water
that makes electric current for thous
ands of homes, farms and factories;
or when a telephone cable is laid at
an expense of 35,OOO00O from Chi
cago to New York for the better ser
vice Of millions of people. Such events
may be given paragraph over the
wires.
And SO it goes. Industry that furnish
es the bread and butter and keeps the
wheels of progress going is such an
ordinary occurrence it is given scant
attention and is not considered "inl-
portant news"

The following editorial was award

Association. The prize was offered by

Do manufacturers generally really ap
preciate what the local newspapers
do for the community in their efforts
+ to encourage industrial development
and make a better market for the fac
tory output? Read what editor Byrnes
says in the Pueblo-Colorado Indicator
When a resident of any city, town
or community makes the casual re-
mark that he cannot see why he
should buy of home merchants or
show a preference for home manufac
tured goods he sets the more thought
full individual to thinking, and he is
/ apt to think along straight lines. He
has heard a strange sentiment express
1 ed that wakes him up, and he is apt
to reflect somewhat after this fashion
Now. if all the citizens in this town
talked and felt as this man does we
couldn't and wouldn't have much of
town, and neither community nor
/ state would be getting just returns for
the expense and trouble it has gone to
in building up the community, and for
the civil government it has established
for safeguarding the lives and proper
ty and other interests of it's citizens.
It would not be receiving just COM
pensation for providing schools, and
parks and jobs for the wage earners
and business for the merchants to en-
able them to make a good living. Such
man. is not giving value received for
what he gets out of the community OF
common interests.
On the other hand the home-pat
ronage and home industry proposition
works something like this: If the To-
i cal merchant negIects or refuses to
reciprocate in patronizing those who
patronize him he is not doing his fair

thus it is taken out of the home cir
culation market and it lessons the
wealth of the community by just that
much.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS

When windows become loose in
their easements and rattle when the
wind blows, four thumb-tacks, two on
each side, will hold the window firmly
in place and allow it to be raised
and lowered with perfect ease.
People troab.ed with carpet moths
may get rid Of them by scrubbing the
floor with strong hot salt water be-
fore laying the carpet and sprinkling
the carpet once a week before sweep
ing.
To prevent rocking chairs from
creeping across the room while rock
ing, paste strips of velvet on the bot
tom of the rockers, and the annoyance
will be a thing of the past
A safe way to keep poison from
being mistaken for other medicine is
to insert pin or phonograph needle
in the side of the cork so that the
point sticks out at the top.
When candles are broken, cut the
broken ends off smoothly and melt
back together The candles will look
like new.
To remove a, stamp, iron ever the

the stamp off Immediately.

proverbial butcher, the baker and the
candle stick maker is deprived OF so
much needed employment, and it
hurts, for the local laborer and salar
led person in town has less money to
spend with the grocer, the clothler
the dry goods man and everyone else
in business; and SO because a link
in the chain of natural trade has
been broken the entire chain OF econ
omics is made weaker and less eff
cient.
It works the same way when a
family sends its orders off to Squeers
Sawbuck & Co., or other big mail
catalogue house in Chiyork for house
hold supplies, the struggling home
merchant or jobber and the state man
ufacturer or jobber is deprived of his
Legitimate trade, but he is called up
on just the same to contribute to a
multitude Of small benevolences and
enterprises, and he must submit with
out protest to being plucked about
every so often and occasionally in be-
tween times.
So let it be understood that the
business man is very useful and nee
essary adjunct to any community, for
he not only affords employment to
others but he is among the heaviest
of taxpayers of the home government
for offensive ano defensive purposes,
so that he is entitled to consideration
and support. It is thus seen that home
! patronage has it's selfish side and its
loyal side that appeal to US bctn going
and coming.
Reciprocity is a grand and noble
institution when made to work both
ways. 1t then falls upon the commun-
ity like mamma from heaven. 1t radiat
es a sustaining and soothing influence
upon all persons and interests alike.
1t is a human sort Of sentiment that
needs to be more generally as well
as more generously practiced. It is
the Golden Rule applied to home
building and business affairs. 1t re
lates to everybody and everything.
If the rule were more universally
observed there would be bigger and
better homes and state mercantile,
manufacturing and jobbing concerns,
more employment and lower taxes,
and there would be fewer voluminous
dog-eared catalogues Of the big out
of state, mail order houses in use.
