Joe Imlach Assures Will Bring Many To
 Seward Celebration

We'll be in Seward for the Fourth of July celebration, 50,000 strong" Joe, Imlach, cannery operator, who left Seward yesterday on the Admiral Evans bound for Seldovia, stated to Harry Ellsworth, member of the Firemen's committee upon MT. Els worth's invitation to "come to Sew ard on the Fourth and bring your gang" Better than that" MT Im- lach replied, '1ll bring a ball team down a notch or two. I am sure there will be many residents of the Westward districts who will also come to Seward. 1 promise to talk it up so it's now up to Seward to produce some live entertainment"
 "The '50,000 strong may be putting it a little strong" MT Ellsworth said to the Gateway this morning, "but the fact remains Mr. Imlach is just one of the many live wires to the Westward and it is certain nothing will be left undone by him and his cooperators to take this opportunity in making the brief trip"
 Steamer connections, according to present indications are most favor able to the bringing of many out-of- town visitors to Seward on July 4. As MT. Imlach said yesterday the company has ample small boats and providing the larger vessels fail to make the desired connections the smaller craft will be pressed into service

WHY BE A PARTNER.

Everybody who purchases Tuber-
culosis Christmas Seals in the State
of Maryland, or anywhere else, is a
partner in the big campaign that
seeks to educate the public in the
prevention of tuberculosis. Whether
they have given ten cents or ten
hundred dollars, they may feel that
they are supporting a project stu
pendous in scope.
That they have helped in the pre-
vention of this disease is seen in the
fact that in the past twenty years the
deaths from tuberculosis have been
decreased from two hundred per one
hundred thousand population to nine
ey-four per one hundred thousand, ac-
cording to 1923 death rate statistics
In twenty years the deaths from tu-
berculosis in the State Of Maryland
have been cut in half.
Since 1907,when the first $4,000 was
raised for a tuberculosis hospital in
Delaware, up to last year when ST.
10000 was raised, over S3O,000,00O
in all have been realized.
Ninety-fiye per cent Of the funds
obtained from the sale of Tuberculo-
sis Christmas Seals in Maryland are
used for fighting the disease in Ma
ryland. Five per cent of the returns
are sent to the National tuberculosis
Association to aid in the National
fight against this terrible disease.
The Maryland tuberculosis Associ-
alton and its county branches are now
making special effort to raise at
least 100000. 1t is necessary that
this sum be procured in order that
the present activities may be contin-
ued, and that the plans for increased
activities may be carried out.
Seventy per cent Of the returns
from the sale Of Christmas Seals in
this county will remain in this county
to help finance the health work now
being carried on.

PASSING OF GOOD
MANNERS

The accusation is made that men
no longer are as courteous to women
as they once were. Good manners are
out of date, it is said The change is
imputed to the change in woman's
status. Since she has left the shelter
of the home and engaged in business
and public activities, it is not con-
Sidered needful to show her Difference.
Men, unashamed, will remain seated
in street cars while women stand !;
they will smoke in mixed society,
without permission; they will speak
Of girls as fellows" "She's a good
fellow" one will hear them say. Does
it mean that the enfranchisement of
women, the striking off of the shack
les, has killed chivalry? That men
cannot be expected to show courtesy
to women unless women occupy a
subordinate position in society?
1t may be that women are them
selves partly to blame. Some have
lost the respect that formerly was
theirs by adopting masculine ways.
A few foolish ones dislike to be
thought of as of the weaker sex" or
the gentler SEX" and on that account
discourage the showing of Difference
to them, thinking it implies that they
are not the equals of men. Of course
they are not the equals of men in
muscular strength, and they should
glory in not being the equals of men
in coarseness, either.
If there is to be leveling of the sex
es it should be effected by raising
mems standard Of refinement, not by
lowering women's. A great man
showed perception of this many years
ago at banquet in his honor. "Since
there are no ladies present" said one
of the speakers, ''no harm will be
done by my telling an indelicate
story" But there are gentlemen
present" objected the great man.

life worth while to those with whom
she associated.
The incense Of her whole life.
Through time will grow still
sWeeter.
Until beyond this world of strife
We all at last shall meet her.
The consciousness that this faith
full Christian sister labored on thru
the weary day until the time of rest
came and the Master just passed her
on to higher and better place, takes
from the parting much of the sting
and the loved ones who remain shall
rather rejoice than mourn, striving to
emulate the model set by that one,
seek to win a like reward and with
her receive crown of Life.
Flowers fade and pass from sight,
But in the resurrection
That follows close the chilly night
It finds at last perfection.

is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

About this season of the year this
question is raised in the minds of
many small people who want to know
the truth about this very important
parsonage, who has meant so much to
them in the past.
On one occasion little Virginia
O'Hanlon, perpleXed by this question,
wrote to the editor of the New York
Sun: Il am years old. Some of
my little friends A3y there is no Santa
Claus. Please tell me the truth, is
there Santa Claus"
The following editorial, published
by that paper, considered one of the
finest things in American literature,
answered for all time and all children
this old, old question:
"Virginia. your little friends are
wrong. They have been effected by
the scepticism of sceptical agc.
They do not believe except what they
see. They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by their
little minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they be mems or children's,
are little. In this great universe Of
ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in
his intellect, as compared with the
boundIess world about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable of
grasping the whole Of truth and
knowledge,
'Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy Alas! how drd3ry would be
the world if there were no Santa
Claus. There would be no child-lke
faith then, no poetry, no romance to
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except in
sense and sight Tn eternal light
with which childhood fills the world
would be eXtinguished.
"Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies.
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in Il the chimneys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but
that is no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in the
world are those that neither children
nor men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? CT
course not, but that't no proof that
they are not there Nobody can con-
ceive or imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unaeabIe in the world.

and see what makes the noise inside,

prisoner by a detachment of Confed-
crates on Nov. 9, 1862, but was re-
leased soon thereafter. At the close
of the war he began farming near
Terra Alta, w. Va. In 1892 he moved
to a farm near Sunnyside, Garrett
