FAIRBANKS ALSO HAS
 ITS SCHOOL PROBLEMS

Not only Petersburg and Wran- gell this year are confronted with housing question of school children. The Fairbanks City Council at re- cent meeting decided upon budget of $9,000. for the ensuing school year. Six thousand of which will be used for teachers salaries and the remaining $3O0O for building improvements to be made at the discretion of the Council.
 Hon H Fl. Ross recommended the tearing down of the old armory and using the lum Der in new building with the first floor for a gymnasi- um and believed that an additional $6000 could be raised by popular subscription to cover any deficit in the cost of the construction of such building. The city council to take care of the remaining debt in small payments.

The Youngest
Utility Leads in
Home Service!

Electric light is used by eighty per cent of all
the families in the United States-almost as
many as have running water in their homes!
ELECTRICITY has the widest use of any
homeserving utility and yet is the youngest Of
them all.
This interesting information was announced
recently by Mary Sherman, President of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs under
whose direction very extensive Home Equip
ment Survey has just been completed Close
on the heels of electric light in Americas
homes, comes the use of the electric iron in
sxty-four per cent. of the homes, according to
Mrs. Sherman. The other labor-saving electri-
cal appliances follow down the linc in an inn
posing and growing array.
But while many homes have electric light and
still lack many electrical labor-sayers, cleo
tricity once in the house brings all the other
modern electrical home equipment within easy
reach of the housewife 1t lis the "open
sesame" to household efficiency and is con-
tributing big share to the increased convent

Once upon a time
there was a King
whose wife had golden
hair, and who was so
beautiful that her
equal was not to be
found. One day she
fell Ill, and when she
felt that she must
soon die she called the
King to her and said,

after my death, prom
Use to take no one who
is not as beautiful as

King had promised
she turned from him
and died.
For a long time the
King would not be
c o m f rt : d, and
thought not of taking
a second wife, but his
councillors sa id at
last that he must
marry again.
Now, the King had
a daughter who was

her mother. and who

grew up, the King saw how like his /
wife she was. So he told his court Il
he wished his daughter to marry his old
councillor, and that she should be
Queen. The eldest councillor was
delighted. But the daughter was
not pleased at the resolve of the
King, so she said to him, Before I
fulfill your wish l must first have
three dresses: one as golden as the
sun, another as silver as the moon,
and the third as shining as the
stars. Further, desire a cloak COM
posed of thousands of skins and
hides, and to which every beast in
your kingdom must contribute por-
ton of his skin"
The Princess thought this would
be impossible to do, but the King
ordered her wishes carried out. At
length, when all was ready, the King
said, Tomorrow shall the wedding
be-"
When the Kings daughter saw
that there was no hope of turning
her father from his resolve, she de-
termined to run away. In the night
she got up and took three of her
treasures, gold ring, a gold Thin
bic and gold pin. She also car

named her Allerleirauh because of her mantel,
and took her home with them to serve in the kitchen
of the royal palace There they showed her little
room under the steps and told her that she could
live there. Afterward she went into the kitchen,
and there she had to do all manner of dirty work.
Here, for while, Allerleirauh lived wretchedly;
but it happened that feast was held in the palace,
and she asked the Cook MAY go and look on for

The Cook said Eyes, but in half an hours time

as the sun. AS soon she was ready she went
up to the ballroom, where every one supposed that
she was Princess. The King came up and danced
with her, but as the dance was finished she
disappeared.
She ran back to her room, and having quickly
taken off her dress, again blackened her face and
