ALASKA MAY LOSE OO

Under this proVlSioi about s1OO 100000 wouId be alloca'eo +o +bo states on a basis of one-1hlru for population; one-third for roaus o,roadv constructed and one-thi.d tor oroo Alaska would lose considerably hecause of lack of population ana -oode hut would more than gain on account of the vast area o1 'he 'e'i T. torv which is about one-iltth that ol all inc states combined.
 If the delegate succeeded ln having Alaska included in the act, the tel-i- -or, vould receive about six million dollars per year for road bulldlns' This sum. while inadequate TOT any one year, would in time construct d net work of roads throughout the ter ~itorv which would also serve as leeu- ars to the Alaska railway.

WASTE MAKES WANT

The poor pay more for their clothes than do the rich, on account of quail ity being sacrificed for cheapness, and shoddy fo- the real article. One good suit of clothing vii loutlast two and three ordinary suits, while the same may be said of other articles. It does not pay to buy cheap stuff. The best IS always the cheapest in the long run. Another item which costs the consum- or heavily is the habit of having all articles delivered. GroceTs and butch- CTS as well as other business firms nust add from $50 to s200 per month to their overhead as result oi dellV- e-ing small packages which could as we'll be carried home Large packages could be delivered once or twice week the housewife accommodating her orders to the delivery days.
 Buying articles in bulk also costs nuch less than to buy the small pack ages, It costs from three to five cents to place oatmeal, crackers and other foods in containers The bulk staple Is often better than the package artlcle' where more attention is paid to adul- teration. In the old days we used 10 buy molasses by the jug, kerosese oy inc gallon and crackers, oatmeal ana other cereals from the barrel. Manu- 4acturers claim that the demand TOT cartons and tins has raised the prlce rom ten to twenty Der cent Fe" stores made deliveries, and living was much cheaper than now.

DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR

Value SO pronounced that you are justified
in looking upon the purchase of Dodge
Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible
investment in transportation.
Not dollar is added to the purchase price
to support free service policy; nor to
cover the costliness Of numerous body or
chassis types; nor to pay interest on bor-
rowed money; nor to maintain multiple
organization of middlemen.
Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They
sell directly through single organization
Of dealers to you. They do not believe in
charging in advance for service you may
never need. They have developed re-
markable economies, and time seasoned
product by concentrating on standard
types.
These facts are reflected, not only in the
price of the Car, but in the quality of
workmanship and materials that enter into
its construction.
