Hank" Cole, who started this life in the state of Pennsylvania some eighty years ago, and since which time has stampeded to every mining camp from Bangor to Barrow, never missing one and sticking around if the diggings were good until the cream was taken, then moving on. playing the game from soda to hoek. in Alaska since 1886.. Has Hank" eashed in? I'll say not. He is in Vancouver right now, getting ready to back track to Laketon, on Dease Lake, Cassiar district, where Mrs Cole is at present. Hank can smell a placer strike just as a range steer can smell water. With his head in the air he's 'raring to go, and it is a hundred to one that he will be leading the bunch when they hit the new diggings. He is eighty and hearty, and insists on breaking the trail for the dogs.-Alaska Weekly.

 Home and School Day

The home is the most fundamental institution among all civilized peo- pies. Children have real part to play in making better homes. To de velop better homes teach regard for the interest and welfare of others. give practice in cooperation; teach children how to cook. to sew. to manage home budgets, and to appre- eiate the meaning of home life in its relation to individual and race well fare.
 That school is best where all teachers take an honest pride in serving the community and in build ing up it's home life. That commun
 ty is best in which parents appre- siate the teachers and magnify the work of the schools.

Friday, November II. Armistice Day

Patriotism is an essential element in education. Patriotism begets good citizenship. The success of a demo- cratic form of government depends upon the faithful performance by each citizen of his public duty. By living as citizens of the school. chil- dren learn to be citizens of the larg- CT society. School study in geogra- phy, history, current events, and so- cial civics. and participation in school and community activities as responsible members of society pre- pare children for citizenship.

 EstoHia
 October 16, 1927. To the Mayor of Wrange1l,
 Wrangell, Alasea. Sir.
 The Wrangell-Society. on it's last meeting this autumn, decided to pub fish a periodical, probably twice a year, containing historical and other articles relative to the name of Wrangell. We should be very glad if we could have in the next issue also an article about the city of Wrangell. May I ask you, Sir, to have the great kindness to give Us some ma terial for it. e.g. about the history of your town. (its foundation, why the name of Wrangen was chosen and by whom) its present state, its newspapers, etc.
 In an issue of the French news paper Excelsior of the year 1919 1 read. under the heading, 'Le Calu- met de la paix" about the native tribes of the "Wrangells and the Sit ka's" in Alasea, who, after the con clusion of the armistice in Europe, had decided to cease their long last ing fend. Are there really such In dians in Alasea or are the Wran- gels and the Sitkas" an invention of that French newspaper?
 If it interest you. my step brother who is the Admiral Baron Ferdinand Wrangell's great-grandsOn, and } should be glad to send you some pho tographs of the Admiral. His house. at "Viru-Roela" in Estonia Cor "Ruil') contains many pictures and curios from the time when he was governor of Alasca. There is proba- bly, a museum in your town. It would be interesting to know if it contains something relative to Admiral Wran- gell.
 Hoping that you would not mind my various questions, l have the honor to be. Sir,
 Yours respectfully,
 BARON M. WRANGELL.
 Mayor Diemart directed the town clerk to supply the information which the distinguished gentleman has so politely requested.
