PERSISTENT ADVERTISING

II travelling salesman were ask ed what was the first principle for success ill his business, he might say that II was to call on the trade regularly ana often. 4 salesman might not be so polished or fluent as nls competitors, but il he was Johnny on the spot. it he manag- ed 10 get around about twice as ot- ten as hIs rivals, he would pick up d lot Of business.
 A prospective customer might feel that its lines were all right and and that they did not care to upset their previous business arrange ments to deal with this fellow. But il the new man were on deck twice as often as the other fellows, there would be times when his personal solicitation would land an order that was lying around loose wait ing for some one to pick it up. And once concerns got to dealing with him, they would keep on and his frequent calls would strengthen the habit of buying of him. The business world appreciates and re- spends to the enterprise of the man who solicits business consistently.
 This is one of the many reasons why newspaper advertising brings such splendid returns. It's solicita- tion is more regular and frequent than other forms of salesmanship.
 The average person will be likely to see an advertisement in a news paper much more frequently than he or she sees the display in a store window. The newspaper advertise ment is seen at hours when people are at leisure and can read and think about it, while the show win dow display is apt to be seen when people are in hurry and can't stop to consider 1t.
 The effect of advertising then, Is to keep up a constant solicitation. The persistence with which 1t calls attention wins interest. Just as the salesman who calls attention again is likely eventually to make many permanent customers, so the public almost invariably follows the suggestions given by the per aistent advertiser.-Mill Creek Val ley (Ohio) News.

ELKS PLAN FOR BIG PICNIC NEXT SUNDAY
 AT CAMP ISLAND

The Wrangell Elks have planned to give another picnic next Sunday. This time the picnic will be held at Camp Island at the entrance of La Conte Bay about 20 miles from Wrangell. The means of transpor- tation will be the Hazel B No. pushing a scow. The plans are to leave Wrangell promptly at 1880 A. NJ. The lady Elks are asked to bring the usual picnic baskets of good eats. These will be put to- gether and the meals served at one large table.
 It goes without saying that every Elk will be right on hand with his family or best girl. If his best girl is out of town it is perfectly in or der to bring the next-best. A spe- cial invitation is extended to any stray Elks who may happen to be in town temporarily.
 There is every reason to expect a wonderful days outing, and rain Is perhaps the only thing that would be at all likely to interfere or cause a postponement of the event.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC

Tuesday was a gala day for the children of Wrangell. The Presby- terian Sunday School held their annual picnic on that day and in vited the children of the other Sun day Schools to join in with them.

 The picnic party left town at 9:30 o'clock A beach dinner was served at noon by the officers and teachers of the Sunday Schools aid ed by a number of mothers of chill dren in attendance, and the church pastors.
 Beach games of all kinds were in- dulged in; large number of grown ups and children had a swimming party, To make the days events run true to form, one boy who had not brought bathing suit, fell out of a row boat and had to be "rescued". The party broke up late in the afternoon and came back to town tired but happy.

Dr. Brooks Arrives From
 Washington
Chief Alaska Geologist Begins His Twenty-fourth Years Work in Alaska Under Circumstances More Encouraging Than Ever.

bA. AiiiOo H. oiOOhot S-ASA ~&AS kan Geologist. arrived from Wash ington oa the Admiral Rogers Sat urday morning. He was met here by pr. A. F Budd:ngton,. pr. Brooks and Dr. Buddingtcn left Wrangell the same day on the Glenora. Dr. Brooks wished to personally look over certain minera,ized areas be- tween Wrangell and Juneau.
 The U. S. Geological Survey last month begun it's 18th successive year of the investigation of the mineral resources of Alaska. During this time it has mapped the topog- raphy of over one-third of Alaska s total area of 5S6,400 square miles It has investigated in at least a pre- liminary way every producing min ing district in Alaska, and has mapped many of these in detail. Since 1905 it has annually collect ed and published the statistics of mineral production of the Territory. The results of this Alaska work are published in 3S0 different reports and over 400 maps, which throw much light on the resources includ- ing water supply. as we'll as the to- pography and geology of Alaska.
 This year a detailed topography survey is being made of the Hyder district, of southeastern Alaska, by R. NJ. Wilson, topographic engineer. Dr. A. F. Buddington, geologist. is continuing his investigation of the geology and mineral resources of southeastern Alaska. This year he is investigating parts of the ketchi- ikan, Wrangell, and Juneau dis tricts. F. H. Moffit is studying the geology and copper resources of Capps, assisted by Kenneth Landes, is making a supplementary exami- nation of the Matanuska coal field. Special attention has been given since 1921 to petroleum on Alaska Peninsula. This year W. R. Smith, geologist, assisted by Ernest Ro- schen, is continuing this work in the Cold Bay oil field.
 There has long been a hiatus be- tween the mapped area of theMount Mckinley region and of the Idita- d-kuskokwim region. This year R. H. Sargent, topographic engi- neer, will in part fill up this gap by carrying survey from McGrath to the gold district at the head of Nixon Fork of the Kuskokwim and to Lake Minchumina. He is accom- panied by John s. Brown, geologist.
 The Survey began its inyestiga- tion of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. in 1923, and this work is be- ing continued this year. An expe- dition led by Philip S. Smith, ac- campanied by J. B. Mertie, geolo- gist. R. K Lynt and Gerald Fitz- gerald, topographic engineers. reached the headquarters of the Colville River in March and will continue to the Arctic Ocean, to be reached late in August. In July, William T. Foran, geologist. and O. Lee Wix, engineer, went into the Arctic from Nome to supplement the surveys of the Smith expedition. This exploration of Arctic Alaska will not only give important infor- nation about petroleum. but will explore a hitherto unknown region.
