PARCEL POST SHOWS HUGE
 GROWTH SINCE INCEPTION

WASHINGTON-The parcel post in the first ten years of it's existence has brought into the Post Office De- oartment revenues totaling about s1, ,100, 100000. ..a
 In 1921 alone, department records show. 1,071, 100000 packages weigh ing from few ounces to TO pounds were carried in the mails as parcel post. In the first year, 1913, the total was 417,000, 900. In 1913.par- eel post revenues amounted to $40,- 038.163, and in 1921. had climbed to s139,605,717. Figures for the fis- cal year of 1922. are not yet con- plete, but it is estimated the revenue will approximate s160. 100000.
 Second Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Henderson has been engaged for six months in an investigation to de- termine the full scope of the parcels service. but the task is so great that figures are not yet avail- able. fi "s P

BASKETBALL TEAM ANNOUNCE
 DANCE ON NOVEMBER THIRD
Team Needs Funds For Equipment For Furtherance of Successful Season.-Big Goal Is In View

Invitations will be delivered this week to the townspeople of Wran- gell, announcing the forthcoming dance Of the Wrangell High School Basketball team, to be held Saturday evening, November third ln the Red mems hall, the proceeds to go into the school coffers, for the further ance of successful team.
 Thise year the basketball pros poets at High School are more than bright. Everyone of last years championship squad are in suit and practicing regularly. In addition to these are the members of the All-Star team, made up of younger students, yet no less adept at handing the oval. Several of these lighter players are pushing the older men hard for their positions and are showing surprising ability.
 The team has been organized and with the reelection of John Coulter as captain, expects to work in the best of harmony under the new sys- tenn in vogue this season. Neil Grant was elected manager and will work with the school authorities to secure the best games and to manage the finances so that profit may be hn fina al ch 4f son.
 Arrangements are being made to secure game with Ketchikan and Metlakatla during the Thanksgiving recess, both games to be played on the floor of the former. However, all plans are being laid with the tournament to be held in Ketchikan during the early part of February, when the best team in Alaska will be chosen to make trip to the states at the expense of the Seattle Commmer- cial Club. With this goal in view, it will be worth the while of the team to work hard all season.
 In order to start the season with enough money to pay for new ball and other equipment that, is neces- sary, the members of the team are inviting the townspeople to partici pate in their dance. At the present time the team members are paying out of their own pockets for the use of the Rink in which to practice. More satisfactory arrangements are hoped for in the near future. Some repairs will be necessay in order to make the Rink suitable for practice or play before the cold weather sets in, and money is prime requisite.
 In case anyone is not called on by a team member with a ticket or an invitation, let that one not think that he is being neglected and that he is not privileged to attend. This is open to all, and let those who can not attend see that their dollar finds it's way into the waiting hands of the squad. Help Wrangell to have the best team in all Alaska and the best supported by the town.

VISITING NEWSPAPER MAN
 WRITES GOOD EDITORIAL

Lyle NJ. Spencer, dean of the School Of Journalism or the Uniyer- sity of Washington, recently made a trip to Alaska. The steamer on which he travelled did not tarry long at Wrangell, but during the few min utes that the vessel was in port Mr. Spencer paid the Sentinel a pleasant fraternal call. When he reached Skagway he was not so pressed for time, and the editor of the Skagway Alaskan called on him for an edito- rial. The well known journalist sat down to the typewriter and produced the following:
 THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER
 TO A TOWN
 Few people in the average city ap- preciate the value of newspaper to a town. Like flowers, they are dPPl CSAalCd AlAOSN Os lhSSS '" hO NO not have them. Like mothers, they are wanted most when they are gone.
 Most people look on a newspaper as the business of single individual. If it thriyes, that is the owners or the editors business. If it fails, that also is the owners or the editors business. AS matter of fact, the success or failure af a paper is matter of grave concern to an entire town.
 If it were not for our newspapers, rumor and gossip would run riot over the world. Everyone knows how a simple question asked by someone often is made a statement by an- other, how that statement is dis torted by second or enlarged by third, and how it sometimes goes on and on until people do not know what to believe. Sometimes such story gets so big that the only way it can be stopped is by something coming out in the paper and stating the precise truth. Such conditions we should have constantly if it We're not for our newspapers.
 Newspapers, too, are the best al vertisement a city has in the outside world Other cities judge town by the kind of newspaper it has. If it is supported well, given the ne 'a and the advertising patronage it ought to have, it thrives and is aHle to present an appearance of prosper ity for the town to the outside world. If it does not thrive. outsiders are in- sirable to live in, and so move on to other cities.
 Newspapers are also our chief source of information. Most of our reading matter after we leave school comes from the papers. What we know about President Harding's tour. about the struggle between France and Germany in the Ruhr, about Henry Ford as candidate for presi dent, and about other nationadl and world problems, comes from the pa pers. Thomas Jefferson once said that if he had to have government without newspapers or newspapers without government, he would take the newspapers, because through them he felt that the state could be run with at least fair success.
 If some of us appreciated more fully the value of our newspapers, we would make greater effort to see that they get the news and adver- tising and so become successful. Modern society cannot get along without newspapers any more than it can without schools and churches.
