THREE BIG WEEKS

While we are observing nearly ev-
cry kind of week, from apple to
health and from forest to home, the
Herald-Review. would like to suggest
about three more. We do not expect
that these suggestions will be acted
upon, because they are too practical,
too personal. People like to do things
that are abstract, rather than definite.
BE Good to Your Wife Week" would
be very practical observance. Try
it for a week on a nationwide basis
and there would be millions of happy
women. We could make many per-
tinent suggestions. Bring home some
candy, some flowers. Give her an ex-
ira dollar or two, all for herself. Sug-
gest new dress, or little trip or
better yet, get the dress and make the
trip. Be as kind and nice as you were
before you were married.
Why not have a PAY Your Bills
Week." Many would respond that
they did not have enough money to
pay all their bills. But if we all had
what we had coming, most of our
obligations would be removed. Such
week would be grand period. Men
in business would find many of their
worries lifted. Individuals, even with
the world, would go at things with
new hope and new courage. Creditors
would be greeted with a smile. Ev-
eryone would be happy and it would
be one of the best weeks in the ma
TONS history.
Get Rid of Bad Habits Week" is
another suggestion. If you counted
up your faults you would be surprised
at the really large number that you
possessed. Many of them could be
eliminated with a little attention.
Maybe some could not be corrected in
a week, but to think about them for
a few days might lead to later ac-
'tion. Everybody knows many i'm
portant changes he could make in
again. A little thong htfulness, a
little attention will eliminate most
of the faults that are not too funda-
mental. OF, course if you are natur-
ally mean or lazy a weeks reflection
will not correct such condition.
But. look around yourself and you will
find enough that you can remedy with
reasonable attention. If you wish
further instructions simply read Ben
jamin Franklin's Autobiography. That
will tell you how very wise man
eliminated some of his faults and
habits.-Grand Rapids Herald Review.

WHAT PRICE DO WE GETs

When the public discusses most
business ventures, one side, not both
receives the most attention.
The summer tourist business is OF
unquestioned value. Everyone ad-
mits it. Some exaggerate it. The
usual figures cited as tourist income
are unquestionably larger than cold
computation would bring. The tour
list business is important, but it must
not be considered a substitute for
manufacturing mining, and agricul-
ture. Those who will so consider it
will live well in summer and be cold
in winter.
The other day a level headed citi-
zen of Itasca county raised the ques-
ton as to how much this country re-
ceives for what it has given the tour
list. 1t was his opinion that the pike
of the Winnibigoshish district had
been sold for a cent a pound. Our
live deer, when venison, has brought
low price. Ducks a somewhat lar
ger revenue.
This point is one we'll worthy of
CONSIDERATION. we nave TeC6lNSU
money and trade from transients. But
we have given some things which
cannot be obtained elsewhere. We
are depicting our lakes of their fish,
our forests of their birds and game.
The return has not all been profit
Perhaps when we consider the flu
ture value of wild life, the net result
has been a loss.
Such a discussion as this will be
misinterpreted by some citizens. Let
us encourage the summer tourist bus
mess. But as we encourage this bus
mess let US not strip ourselves of
some of our most valued possessions,
elements of more value in the years
to come than in the past or at the
present time. -~-
Let Itasca county take stock. Let
it count its wonderful resources. Let
US save while we still have something
to save, propagate while there is still
opportunity for successful increase.
We may be selling ourselves too
cheap.-Grand Rapids Herald-Re-

for quarter of a century Norman

Admirably situated in a lovely spot,
admirably equipped with everything
to delight the heart of boy on a
summer outing, admirably managed
in every detail, Camp Miller is an in
stitution that Duluth is proud of
and that it can send it's boys to with
full confidence that they will have a
good time and that they will benefit
by the experience in better health
and stronger character.

the Rotarians and Kiwanians send
out their boy guests, there will be
a new one this year, Employed Boys

sentative party. 1t was a member of
this partly L. Church of Toronto
who recently introduced resolutions
in Parliament calling for the immedi-
ate construction of the waterway. The.
resolution was talked out" but not
until Mr.. King had been forced to.
agree to the publication of the diplo-
matte correspondence with the United
States.
With the exception of Ontario and
the middle West there is a general
apathy throughout Canada regarding
the st. Lawrence waterway. This is
coupled with belief that once it is
built the control may pass into the
hands of the United States. The man
in the street especially fears that
since Canadian industry is not vet
ready to use all of the power, it will
be exported to the United States.
Later, when Canadian industry needs
the power, he fears that the United
States will refuse to relinquish it.
In the face of this apathy and this
general distrust, Mr.. King cannot risk
any actual initiative to please the
province of Ontario, stronghold of the
opposition, or even to please the farm
bloc. Therefore he resorts to bar
gaining, and in his notes to Frank B.
kellogg, United States secretary of
state, he makes a pointed hint that
if the United States removed it's re-
strictions against Canadian fish and
against Canadian agricultural pro-
ducts, the Canadian people would be
much more favorably inclined toward
the st. Lawrence waterway.
In all justice to Mr.. King, however,
it should be noted that he personally
is heartily in favor of the project and
has already done much to win over
the recalcitrant power interests of
Quebec by promising Louis A. Tasch-
ereau, Quebec's premier, that no pow
err shall be exported to the United
States, and that those sections of the
waterway wholly within Canada shall
remain wholly within Canadian con-
trol.-Christian Science Monitor.

THE BOYS AND CAMP MILLER

Because Camp Miller, the wonderful
summer camp of the Boys Y. on
Sturgeon Lake, opens in June, it is
now the goal of many glad expecta-

Because Camp Miller has thirty
one years of history behind it, it is
also the object of many happy men,

incalculable amount of good, and it
does more good every year it runs.

QUEBEC, April 25-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, driving a fast army plane through rain and snow, brought anti-pneumonia serum to Floyd Bennett's bedside in less than four hours after his take-off from New York.
 Col. Lindbergh kept the plane close to the limit of 125 miles an hour.
 Col. Lindbergh immediately up- on landing, jumped into a waiting automobile and took the serum to hospital where Bennett is hoy ering between life and death.
 Bennett flew to St. Agnes Lake in Ford relief plane with Bernt Balchen, enroute to Greenly Is- land to aid the crew of the Ger man plane Bremen. He was ta- ken seriously i'll and went to a hospital and was finally brought here while Balchen continued with Duke" Schiller to Greenly Island. Bennett flew with Commander Richard E. Byrd on his North Pole flight and will accompany Byrd on his Antarctic expedition, if he recovers.

 PRIMARY VOTE
Indications Point Strongly Toward Success for
 Smith and Hoover

WASHINGTON, April 25-(As-
 sociated Press Summary)-In the
 Presidential voting in Ohio, Gov. Alfred E. Smith ran far ahead of the field. NO names were printed on the ballot but of those written in Gov. Smith, on incomplete re- turns, had more than twice as many votes as the entire field combined. Included in the group were former Senator Atlee Pom creme, Gov. A. Vic Donahey and Senator James A. Reed. Secretary Herbert Hoover also saff sawsy in Ohio, forginsa far ahead of the late Senator Willis, who received many votes in spite of his death. The names of both were printed on the ballot. Those of Vice-President Dawes and for mer Gov. Lowden were not on the ballot, though several thousand Republicans wrote them in. The Presidential preference re- suit under the Ohio law is not binding on the delegates; neither is it in Massachusetts where Hoover and Smith romped away with the vote cast under new law which enabled the voters to write in the names of their favor ties.
 Ado a1,. nf frtnndo nf President Coolidge planned to roll up a preferential vote for him at the polls, but last week he squelched the move. Despite that several thousand voters wrote his name in.
 In Pennsylvania no Presidential candidate of either of the major parties sought a preference vote. Incomplete returns showed, how ever, that six Smith men and two anti-Smith men are leading for the eight places for delegates at large.
 Ware Endorsed The Republican organization slate in Pennsylvania was ratified without opposition. It included the renomination of Senator David A. Reed and the nomination of William s Ware, who was refused his seat recently on previous election. for United States Sena tor.
 Kansas For Ayres Tn Kansas the Democratic State convention instructed Kansas twenty delegates to vote for Rep resentative William A. Ayres of Wichita for the Presidential nom. inatiOn.
 In Oklahoma the Republicans rounded out the delegation of twenty with Senator Curtis of Kansas and former Gov. Lowden in coalition holding the whip hand. The Michigan State conventions are on today's political calendar.

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska, The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es 30 often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good buSiness. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- tion for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newxnaper cir culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So, beginning May 1, sub- scriptions to The Empire must Do paid in advance.

 National Committeeman

Delegate Sntherland and Attor- hey General John Rustgard were assured of renominations for their respective offices, Judge James Wickersham was certainly and Dr. w. H. Chase probably elected as delegates to the Republican Ma tional Convention, and indications pointed to the election of Capt. A. E. Lathrop as National Commit teeman on the face of partially complete returns today received by The Empire from the First and Third Divisions on Tuesdays Re publican primary.
 The returns from this Division included all of the more important communities, and from the Third Division, Anchorage and 10 small railroad precincts, Seward and few minor towns nearby. Cordova and the Copper River Railroad communities.
 Gain for Lathrop
 The Third Division vote re- port added to Capt. Lathrop's present lead in this Division and seemed to indicate his success. His total vote so far reported was 1881, plurality of 456 over G. w. Albrecht, of Fairbanks, whose total stood at 1,475. F. A. Aid rich was far in the rear.
 Dr. Chase has apparently swept the Third Division by a heavy plurality apparently extinguishing all hope for MT. Caswells sue cess, unless there should be complete reversal in the remain ing Third Division precincts to be reported and an unexpected heavy majority for Caswell in the Fourth and Second Divisions. Dr. Chase had 1,94S to 1,553 for Caswell. The Third Division vote reported was Chase 93S and Caswell $50.
 Gus Gelles, Hoover candidate, ran second in the Third with 612 votes, making his total 1,242. JuuSt WlCktTSndIn T6ctlFGu 5lD making his total reported to date 2,666. l.. K. Pratt was low man with total of 4S1.

Unofficial returns received from "A out of 52 precincts in this Di' vision in Tuesdays Republican primary, put it safely in the Suth erland column with the possible exception of National Committee man, one delegate to the Kansas City Convention, and one nomina tion for Representative.

His to- tai reported was 1,161 as com pared to 8S7 for G. w. Albrecht, Fairbanks, and 623 for F. A. Aid. rich. The latter said today the lead of his two opponents was too great for him to overcome it by the vote he expected from the other three Divisions.
 w. H. Caswell, Administration candidate for one of the delegate ships to the National Convention, was second high man in the Divi- sion. Both he and Capt. Lathrop are regarded as friendly to Secre- tary Hoover's candidacy. He had total of 1,203, while Dr. w. H. Chase was third with 1,010.
