ANCHORAGE HAS BIG FAIR

Hundreds of people thronged the main building of the Western Alas ka fair beginning September and erhibits and heard speeches and mu- sical programs which opened the third annual fair.
 Tn giving the first address of the evening, D. H. Williams, manager of the fair told how early in 1924, the Anchorage Woman's Club planned an exhibition of juvenile works for the encouragement of gardening and the manual arts among the children of Anchorage. When 1t was found that public interest outran mere juvenile exhibition, the Chamber of Commerce joined forces with the Woman's W club, forming the Western Alaska Fair Association which sponsored it's first annual fair in the fall of 1924. Since that time the fair has made steady growth each year. Making another step forward, the main fair building was purchas- cd for $7,5OO. Land has been loan ed by the government and individ- uals for other buildings, which have been built this near. Continuing, Mir. Williams pointed out the advan- tages the fair could give fox farmers and fur buyers. He told of how a fox farmer exchange and market could be started giving the buyers m opportunity to buy his furs with out making expensive trips to the farms and the farmer bringing in his stock for sale and disposing of tbem at a good price at auction or private sale. Anchorage Times.
 It would appear from the general report of the first evening that Dan Sutherland who officially opened the fair had less of speech than other lesser lights who were given consid- erable more news-space.
 But then, some editors seem to

 Not so long ago it was the proper Caper to publish, occasionally, a column or so of so-called statistics tO prove-or try to prove-that the Irrational wealth was a general thing being more widely distributed. Sta tistics aren't appetizing at best. Few readers pay much attention to the !rows of figures, nor estimations, nor financial reports bearing on big business. To those who do take an interest, the following fragments of the report of the Federal Trade commission may set them thinking.
 "One percent of the population owns nearly three-fifths of the na- tional wealth." 'The total wealth of the nation is approximately 353 billions f dollars. In the matter of estates the commission reaches the conclusion that: about 13 percent of the decendants owned go percent of the wealth."

The latter development is prohibition enforce
ment problem which has been discovered only recently
and which, according to Whitehead, is being favored by
booeggers preference to the old method of operating
stills to re-dstill denatured alcohol.
New Method of Manufacture
Almost nationwide in it's scope, the plan for
obtaining alcohol has, up to the pre- e2t time frus-
rated every effort Of prohibition agents to stop it
Since the vinegar product ethyl acetate can be shipped
all the country without supervision or inter
ference from prohibition agents, the difficulties en-
countered apparent.
The new method of manufacturing alcohol at
cost of about fifty cents gallon, another reason foi
its favor among booteggers, is accomplished with the
use chemicals both of them ordinary household
products
Into these the ethylacetate placed. To it added
the two chemicals and then churning process began
After certain period of time the whole mixture was
allowed to settle Poisonous substances became sediment

Operate Large Scale
Evidences of the national scope of the practice
revealed by statement issued by Whitehead yes

"What is the use of having large squads of men
watching breweries and supervising Withdrawals of
commercial alcohol" he said eff bootlegger can buy
1000 gallons of vinegar without trouble and turn it into

going on all over the country at this moment.
"Our agents have found traces of the new kind

The manufacture of the stuff constitutes grave
danger to prohibition enforcement"
Leaders Confer Problem
Whitehead asserted that last fall bootlegger
was arrested for manufacturing liquor in this way
There was little proof beyond the fact that both alco

arraigned before Federal Judge Thompson in the Fed

There is something than legend
In the Irish fairy tales
OF the cheerful pixie colleens
Dwelling in their wooded dales.
Legend tells us they
Present in the fates Of men
Cheering them to high endeavors
With the wisdom of their ken.
When misfortunes mantle
Settled on mems hearts with woe,
Came the ellen colleens winging
To dispe the gloomy foe.
So thru years of fond believing
Irish colleens were imbued
With the spirit of the fairies
In their fond solicitude.
Cheerful hearts and smiling faces
Words of comfort wisely gay
Irish coeens live the legend
OF an old, forgotten day.
Eyes aglow with rogush cleaning
Curvng lips like Cupd's bow
Cheeks agIow with Natures warming,
Which the fairy folk bestow.
Thus they keep alive the legend
Of an old, forgotten day
Cheering hearts with smiling sunshine
And a wisdom bthely gay
