 Owning an auto may wreck your bank account. but if you don't own one it wrecks your wife's happiness The lesser of two evils. we guess is owning one
 We don't know why woman keeps diary, but we know the reason men don't is because they don't care to keep a record of the things they dc laying around where their wives might find it.
 Women may not be perfect, but we surmise most men get better wives than they deserve.
 Another thing that seldom comes up to advance notices is husband.
 Hope springs eternal, and some women keep on marrying in hopes that they will finally strike a man who can make them happy.

The President Is Dead.
fKetchikan Chronicle.)

President Harding is dead!
 What a shock those words gave to the country Inst night How unbelievable they were when IL was but few hours before that the press dispatches quoting the bulletin of the physicians, said the ais tingushed patient well on the way to recovery. Yet how tho sad news emphasized the frailty ot all mankind the weakness and mpotency Of humans before the throne of Divinity.
 The Nation mourns today The world mourhs. But no grief is greater than that of Alaska and Alas kans II was only three weeks ago last sunday that the Chief Executive, robust, smiling, whole-souiea and whoo-hearted stood the bridge of the trans port Henderson and with a smile and wave of the hat received the plaudts of Alaskans who were eX- tending greetnig the first President of the united States ever to visit Alaska Happy day that and II auglred well for the Territory, thing more than ever evident when he made his summing up speech in Seattle And it is turned to grief and even gloom For there could be question that fl Presi- dent Harding had lived and was elected for a second term the Territory of Alaska would have received a knowing sympathy and assistance which would have meant a healthy development that may now be denied it.
 Strong and fearless just and kindly patriot and statesman President Harding, if you could but know and you know, grieve more genuinely for your departure than Alaskans the people you so ely honored the people for whom you hoped to do so much and for whom you would have done so much.
 We bowed down with grief.

The R" Months.
Seattle Times. )


 The empirical rule that oysters should no. be eaten n tbs months whose names do not have the letter R is extended by many persons to fnalude crabs. Ii is recalled since President Harding s illness is attributed to p'cmane poisoning from eat ing crabs aboard tho Henderson. The rule is good in general way, although experience has shown that exceptions permissible in various parts of the world
 Here Puget Sound the rule for eating crabs only in those months which can boast of the letter 'R" in their names is rigidly followed The people here don't eat crabs in July, August and Sep tember for the simple that they not in the market Curing those months. The law of the State prescribes closed when the crustaceans may not be taken. The law passed not because the crabs not edible during those months, but to protect them. They considered fine in the months of May and June, which, of course violates tine ''R' rule.
 The giant crabs of the North Pacific the finest of seafood. By many they preferred to the Holsters of the Atlantic Coast Like the Puget Sound oysters they are found in great abundance, but so heavy is the draft the visible supply that it has been necessary establish closed when they may not be taken lawfully.

 Of course it is fine thing to have a lot of friends, but friends have ruined more men than enemies ever have. Ah
 During the short-skirt. roll-down- hose period girls who have been vac cinated on the arm thought they were lucky, but since the sleeveless dresses have come into fashion they begin to wish they had been scared some where nearer the knee.
 Our idea of zero in fame is to be able to boast of having the longest beard in the world, which we notice some bird out West is doing

prices were taken as OF July 1 each
