PAGE MRS. MUNCHAUSEN.

Alaskans are again under heavy Ob. legations for the publication of facts concerning the Territory, which had up to now escaped their observation.
 Fair, fnicky and fifty, Mrs. Jen- nie c. Law Hardy of Tecumseh, Mich igan, descended upon Seward last May, with the celebrated Jones-Hardy party. While the male members of the party hunted the fierce brown bear, it appears that Mrs. Hardy hunt ed for her facts no less eagerly. Upon the arrival of the female explorer in Seward, our citizens aroused from their hibernations, crawled out of their igloos, took one look and rolled over with their paws raised in supplica- tion. Mrs. Hardy, upon her arrival, snuggled down in the Van Glider hotel and started seeing things" shortly after being bedded down. It must be remembered that Tecumseh, Michigan is a town of about 2500 inhabitants, in the state Henry made famous, which accounts for the rattle"
 Mrs. Jennie c. Hardy descended upon Seward May 10th, we'll in the van of the school teacher contingent of explorers. At the time of her ar rival we were swinging around in our usual orbit, contented and sane, with no thought of the dire exposition of their shortcomings awaiting them. The sun shone brightly, the birds sang sweetly, and the moose called to it's mate, in the birches along Resur- rection river. Tecklenburg's building was nearly completed and we looked for a prosperous summer. Then came the Princess Pat and the little Pats.
 Our troubles were brought about by a speech made at Detroit, illustrated by stereopticon views purchased at the Alaska Shop at 10 cents each, by the talented statistician. In this talk the lecturer unloaded facts" so freely that many of her auditors are said to have gasped with amazement She dwelt upon the weird, wild lonesome ness and desolation, our wild women, our halfbreeds, our bachelors, and our alleged insane. Following the speech even the earth in Alaska shuddered and shimmied. The lecturer dwelt upon the hardships imposed upon the white women of Alaska, who heroi- cally take coffee and" in bed, while their husbands play ten-year-old re- cords on the photograph. With tears streaming down her face the lecturer, with trembling voice, told of the poor bachelors washing their own nighties. longing for the sight of white wo- man; and the touch of a comforting hand. Her hearers writhed with sym pathy as she told of the numerous in-- sane sent out on each boat. Their heartbeats slowed up as she decribed the rigors of Alaska in May. With the removal of the slush we may now go on with our tribulations.
 The lecturer saw snowflakes as large as teacups (maybe quart cups), bachelors, halfbreeds, bare hills, mis- erable women, and many hardships. In fact, she exercised her optics in- discriminatory and too well. She never 'saw so much desolation in her life" Think of that and weep with her.
 Paved streets, electroliers, good light and telephone service, four story concrete buildings, sewer systems, good libraries, women's clubs, fine schools, large stores, summer weather and snoWballs. Desolation, indeed.

Editors Letter Box
Calls Attention to Merits

To the Editor of the
Kennebec Journal:
AS the close of the fiscal year of
the Near East Relief. which is June
80, approaches, I want to call the
attention Of the people of Maine
through your columns to the merits
Of this great work, and to urge
them to be as generous with it as
they can. Needs in the field are
still very great, and the year must
not close with unpaid pledges. Maine
has always done it's part splendidly,
and I am convinced that it always
will.
Near East Relief came into exist
ence at the time of the deportation
Of the Armenians from their ances-
trail homes. During the first years Of
emergency relief our organization
clothed thousands of refugees. It is
estimated that as a result of our
work at least 100000 people are
alive today who otherwise would
have persisted.
During the last three years the
work has gradually changed to a
relief program for children. These
killed or separated from them dur
ing the deportations. They have
no one to look after them but us.
Our present plan is to give these
children--the children now in our
institutions-a simple elementary
education, and to train them in a
trade SO that they will become an
economic asset to the community in
which they live. This program has
been so successful that children dis
charged at the age of 16 succeed in

fact that they go out into life in

there are large refugee populations
and where the labor supply IL far
beyond the demand.
We believe that this program OF
training children by giving them an
elementary education and training in
trade or in agriculture Is going to
be beneficial to this entire section of
the world. The children are inaug-
urated with American ideals. and in
turn we believe will become leaders
in their communities. II our hopes
in this regard are even approximate
ed the beneficial influence of this
large mass will be felt for centuries.
This is why we believe this work
is worthy the attention of the peo-'
pie of Maine, and worthy Of their
contributions.

ITS VALUE TO MAINE

Not what the value Of the Angus
ia Belfast highway may be to Au-
gusta or to Belfast, but of what
value It may be to the State OF
Maine, to the public having occasion
to travel our highways. to the flow
Of commerce. the distribution OF
merchandise, the opening up Of seem
ic attractions, the development OF
taxable property and the like, this
is what the Augusta Rotary seeks
to bring out and emphasize by spon-
soring a prize essay contest on this
subject.
From all over the State contest
ants are invited to seek to tell in
the best possible manner the merits
Of this proposed highway, the adj
vantages of It to the State. all in
not more than 500 words. A prize
Of SIS is offered for the best paper,
a prize Of SIS for the second best
and another Of SO for the third
best. All this is worth working for
and with it should come better
understanding Of the situation.
For twelve long years since the
State approved this route as one Of
the essentials of a trunk highway
system of, Maine the people liv-
ing along that road have waited
patiently. Thanks to public spirited
men that patience is now become
aggressive. George r. Weber ap-
preciated the feelings Of those peo-
pie when he insisted that they were
ready to give to the State materials
for the construction il that might be
Immediately begun. There is not
anywhere to be found finer dem
onstration of public spirit than was
shown by the people living along
that highway. when they bound
themselves to do this.
But they by no means are the only
people to be profited by such a high
way, that would connect up a
through route to Bangor about two
miles longer than is the present
route, would so relieve congestion on
other routes, but also provide for
more convenient travel throughout
the State, both for pleasure and for
business. The story of the POSSIBLE
tiles Of such a development is an in
teresting one. Now for the telling

THE REAL AMERICAN
PROFESSION

: at may not be dificult to store up
IN tha mind a vast quantity OF facts
within a comparatively short time,
but the ability to form correct 5udg-
mentg REQUIRES the severe dtsctpllne
Of hard work and the tempering heat
Of experience and maturity"
This from the address Of President
Coolidge before the graduates Of the
Naval Academy, an admirable ad-
dress. not only for what it expressed
but also for the manner Of express
sion. It is conceded, even by his po-
litical opponents. that President
Coolidge's addresses exemplify In
unusual degree the discipline OF
hard work and the tempering heat
Of experience and maturity" This is
especially noticeable in this talk to
the young men whom he admonish-
ed:
"You will be a constant testimony
throughout your lives that America
believes in military preparation for
national defense. for the protection
Of the rights, the security, and
peace Of her citizens. You will be
called to places Of responsibility and
command. You will be given the
J. power of life and death over fellow
countrymen. You will represent the
power, the glory and the honor OF
this Nation among foreign peoples,
with all the prominence that arises
from wearing the uniform and car
rying the flag"
We think the late-Vice- President
Marshall once said that the voice of
the people is the voice Of God-when
they know what they are talking
about. It il characteristic of Calvin
Coolidge to know what he is talking
about. He certainly did when he
told those boys that 'the real pro-
fsssion Of every American is citizen
ship. - whatever he may adopt
as a means Of livelihood, his real
business Is serving his country" He
would have them feel that their pro-
fsssion does not absolve them from
duty to civilian life. The pioneers
Of Americanism could fight as well
a. farm. they realized the need Of
defense and prepared themselves to
do their part, but their prime con-
sideration was to establish them
selves in the ways Of peace and
maintain 1t. President Coolidge is

carly American citizen. He imparts
