With the rapid increase in population, in the small town is coming into it's own. Small towns can rejoice at every in- crease in population of the big town, because with such in- crease comes pushing out of it's population into the smaller communities, and especially is the lesson driven home that the small town is ideal for free breathing and clean living. The reason is plain. Congested cities are not as desirable for homes as suburban localities, unless one is able to own a home along millionaire row. Again, smokestacks and tall buildings make for efficiency but do not necessarily for vir- tue.
 The day is fast coming when the smaller community can provide for the needs of citi- zenship as we'll or better than the great city. It has great open spaces, while the city has not. Its libraries, schools, churches, are more accessible just as efficient, and are with out the distractions common to more populous areas. Greatest of them all, the small town provides an opportunity for friendship, for knowing and meeting and greeting the other fellow, that always will re- main an unchallenged asset over that of the city. It is the eternal struggle of quality over quantity.

It seems that almost every thing has it's uses. Static, that bugbear of all radio fans, has now been put to work, and is proving of real value to naval aviators, who are using it in the warmer climates to detect brewing thunderstorms and to follow their movements. They tune in on the static to it's max imum intensity and by chang ing their loop secure the locat- ion of the storm and the direct ion # is going, together with it's speed. Not only for aviators but for seafarers is this use of static ana the radio of except ional value.

A certain outside church prints on the back of its pro- gram of services these words:
 "I will not worry.
 'I will not be afraid.
 ''I will not give way to anger.
 "I will not yield to envy, jealousy or hatred.
 'I will be kind to every man, woman and child with whom ] come in contact.
 "I will be cheerful and hope ful.
 |" I will trust in God and bravely face the future"
 Some will scoff and some will laugh but they are worth attention just the same About all there is in life worth striving for is suggested in these few lines. Houses, lands, bonds, automobiles are fine possessions. But far more prec- ious still to anyone, in any station, are the measures of the mind and soul-composure, courage, cheerfulness, toler- ance, kindness, hope-all these and faith in something high CT than that which the eyes see and the hands hold.

The greatest manufacturer of autom piles has we'll said that we cant have both booze and motor cars and long exist. Like wise it is said by the epigram- mi that Booze and Gasoline won't mix" It's a shame that it's not true.

Commencing with the pres ent issue, the Herald will pub fish a series of highly interest ing advertisements dealing with the fish canning industry of Alaska-an industry which, like the great meat packing in- dustry, has been the object of much misrepresentation and unjust villification.
 The politician, the demagog- ue, the corporation batter and the opponents of all vested wealth have for years used the cannery interests of the Ter ritory as a target. In a major ity of instances these attacks were based more upon pre- judice and transformation than fact.

who had an object to gain, the public believed that the meat packing industry was extract ing an enormous and unjust ifiable profit from the pock- cts of the people, until it was shown by federal and other in- vestigations that, although the profits of the packing indust- ry were great in the aggregate, the packers, in reality, were making an almost infinitesimal profit on each pound of meat handled. When it became def initely understood that they re- ceived only about one-eighth of a dollar expended for meat and that instead of being pi- ratical plunderers of the pub lie purse they were in reality highly beneficial institutions and actually saved the people money through the medium of their highly developed pack ing, storage and transportat- ion facilities, the hue and cry against them was speedily dis sipated.
 The Alaska fish packing in- dustry-the Territory's great est industry-has been and is today in much the same situat- ion as were the packers before enlightenment and common sense combined to relieve them of the opprobium cast upon them by much the same class as now seeks to exploit with the same purposes in view the Alaska packing industry. And it is for the purpose of enlight- ening the Alaska public as to the true facts concerning the industry that pays in taxes more than 59 per cent of the total revenues of the Territory; that provides work for a great number of Alaska residents, and instead of being a ruthless and rapacious exploiter of the Territory's resources is in re- ality the factor that makes the salmon in Alaskan waters of value to the Territory and the world, that the series of adver- tisments are to be published in majority of the Territorial newspapers during coming months.
 Read every one of them as they appear and you will not only be interested in the graph- ic story they tell but very much enlightened by the facts and figures they present concern ing this great industry.
 To remedy any abuses that may justly be charged against the canning industry the pub lie must first of all have a proper understanding of the facts and it is with this aim in view that the advertisements are pub]ished
