The sun was putting it's best foot
forward when Mary Rogue and her
escort, Col. LoganbeIry IL. Ball, ar
| rived at OlQikeye, Fla.
The nationally advertised orb was
doing its best to send forth the variety
OF beams for which Florida is famous
now throughout the land.
The sunbeams flickered all over the
Spanish-type railroad station, a big
new building that was one of the
prides of Oloikeye. Oloikeye had
ton to its sun and it's depot.
The sun was a regular institution
Hike the poor. it was always with
them. All! What a slander on the
fair, fat and forty town of Oloikeye
There are no poor in Oloikeye.
Every man in II who has not made
a million dollars in the past two years
hopes to do so within the next two
| months, $40 that those who are not
rich In money are purse proud IN
hopes.
Wasn't there the fine new Spanish
type railroad station as real evidence
that Oloikeye was actually on the
map, instead of being but name, and
very peculiar one at that?
No one seemed to know just exactly
what it's name meant, and no one
cared, as long as there was plenty OF
land in and around it to divide and
suhdivide
The subdivision specialists had done
| their best, their very best, which is a
quite capable best. as you must be

sounds as if you said girl alligator
What do you want me to call you
then?" asked the Colonel. who was
already attired in u suit of stiff white
duck that made him look positively
immense.
Miss Rogue. wearing a dark travel
ing dress that only the expert realized
was chic, so simple 1T was, smiled one
of her glorious smiles.
The sun was one phase of nature
Mary Roque's smile was another.
"Oh. just call me Miss Rogue" sait
the girl from Washington.

Such skies had followed them until

Americas Store of Oil.
From the Seattle Daily Times.

Prophets of gloom who have pre-.
dicted that the United States, which
produces "a per cent of the world out.
put of petroleum and consumes "a per
cent, soon would be destitute of this
vital commodity have been rebuked by
Sir Henri Deterding. director Of a
large oil company. Recently he took
issue with Sir Richard Redmayne, who
had testified before the British coal
mission that Americas oil supply
would be exhausted within Is years.
"A half dozen years ago." said Sir
Henri Deterding, ''some authorities
predicted that the worlds oil supply
would be greatly reduced in three
years, but the opposite occurred.
When prices are low, search for oil
ceases, but when prices rise, the
search is renewed and the supply aug
mented. This will probably continue
indefinitely

No Display-No Demand.

Indiana intends to have a "bone-
dry" Christmas. So do lots Of other
places, but so far as Is known none
has taken the drastic action Of that
Middle Western State.
Pocket TASKS and cocktail shakers
have now been barred from the win
dows of jewelers. and shopkeepers to
avoid tempting the shopper into
thoughts Of the forbidden beverages.
All merchants have been ordered to
cease displaying these articles Of "yes.
'teryear," under penalty of prosecution.
No more will the sight Of a hammer
ed silver flask or a beautifully chased
shaker intrigue Indiana womenfolk as
they wander blithely through the
shopping districts seeking Christmas
presents for husbands.
Flasks and shakers are banished.
They have been placed in the category
of the beverages they have been de-
signed to transport. They are obtain
able only by direct request; obtain
able, however, if the buyer is persist
ent and is not previously tempted by
an attractive display.
Such is the power of advertising. If
there is no display there will be no
demand. At least that seems to be
the way the problem is figured in In
diana.
If carried at all, because of the dis
couragement offered by enforcement
Of the law, Indiana Christmas stock
will doubtless find refuge in ginger ale
bottles and glassware Of some such de.
scription. But nevertheless, it is an
interesting experiment in psychology.

The usual hegira of Alaskans to the States has commenced. The Benedict is no longer envied by the old bachelor, for he no longer en- joys home-cooked meals and the com forts of home, but must hustle his grub and make his own fires, while mother has laid aside the axe and is luxuriating in the balmy states, at tending musical comedies, cabaret and everything. Married life was never so unattractive and so unpro- ductive, of good cheer, as during the winter months. Alaskans should adopt the Mormon faith and have a half dozen wives at home while the oth- CTS are visiting!

ALASKA DAY

At the risk of becoming trite once again we mention that October IS, Sunday is Alaska Day. So much has been written about Alaska and so little said that practically every high school scholar and congress man knows more about this great empire of these United States than do the men and women who have spent the better part of their lives in the hin- terland and on the Territorial littor- al. It has long been a matter of surprise to us to hear some of the things that are credited to Alaska by verdant tourists and peripatetic trav- elers And likewise it has been a matter of grave concern. No coun- try on the face of the globe has been so misrepresented and misun- derstood as has Alaska. No country has needed encouragement and sym pathy from it's Federal government. Our fish, our offices and our resour- ces are administered by energetic outsiders, and our lives are regulat- ed from the cradle to the grave
 Alaska has many potential resour- ces as yet undeveloped. It has coal enough to run the engines of the earth for years: oil to furnish il- lumination and power for the world i; vast forests of fine timber; grazing lands for the entire herds of the west, and farms for all who desire to raise regulated truck with no one -to-sell it to. The lordly moose roams over the hills and the gamey trout rises to the lure in every stream flowing. to the sea. The curious tour- ist wanders OCT the lea, while the plowman makes railroad ties for a living. With our 57 varieties of bu- reaucratic rule the man who invests in Alaska is lucky to keep ahead of his income tax and his pangynga game.
 But those of us who have learned to know Alaska wait and hope Wait for the country to be developed and hope for the entrance of industries. It has been said that every tenth man in Alaska works for the Federal government. This may be true, but the total sum would not reach a fig ure equalling lawn D.'s income for few hours, as there are but 10000 white persons now in Alaska, and our government has never paid wag. es commensurate with the services required. For instance a deputy mar shal must be good dog musher, able to live thru the bitter cold of the winter trails, have a smattering of law, good judgment and money enuf to live on when he takes office. 9th CT Federal officials have more attain ments as their salary increases. Ii costs as much for a deputy to go from one end of the Third division to the other as it does from Seattle to New York and back, and the ac commodations are about like travel ing on the U. P in the late seven ties. In other words one furnishes his own blankets, hustles his grub and walks most of the way.
 All over the Territory tomorrow Alaskans will celebrate the anniver sary of this great country to the Union. They will kid themselves in to a happy feeling which will las another year. The last frontier i. becoming desolated by lack of popu lation and the old guards are too fee ble and few to make the fight fo the development of our resources and the attainment of their desires
