MERCHANDISE BY MAIL

Sometimes the receiver really wants the stuff.
Usually he doesn't Often he finds it less troublesome
to accept and pay for it than to remal it. Nearly al
ways he resents this kind of merchandising because it
takes unfair advantage of him. If he neglects to
do anything about it, he is likely to receive dunning

WALSH INCREASES LEAD OVER HOOVER

INDIANAPOLIS, May g. (P)-Sena- tor Watson's hopes of going to the Re publican National Convention with Indiana's 33 votes pledged to him mounted as additional returns in yes terday's primary increased his lead over Hoover.
 The advantage Hoover gained when the populous centers of Northern In diana cast heavy vote for him, were wiped out during the night wheh down State returns swelled the Wat son total.
 Senatorial contests seemed defin. itely settled. United States Senator Robinson is out in front with a ma. jority over Attorney General Gillou and Solon Carter in the Republican race.
 Albert Stump likewise led his Democratic opponents, Walker Myers and William Curry.
 Republican and Democratic nomi nees for Governor will in all proba bility, be selected by the Convention as the chances are slim that any 0. the 10 Republicans will poll the ma, Jority required by law. The same i, true in the Democratic contest.

COMMUNICATION

Editor of the Seward Gateway:
 A few words to the Seward mer chants: Be consistantl Time and again in the columns of The Cate way we have read of the advantages to be derived by the town as a whole. thru it's citizens patronizing and trad ing with the local merchants.
 The cry has been, and still is, any money spent with a local merchant keeps the money here in Seward, while any article purchased Out side" takes that much money from the town, never to return. There is some truth in this. For instance: + purchase an article from a Seward merchant for $10.00 certain per cent of that s1000 goes Outside" to the jobber from which the Seward merchant purchased the article, tue balance remains here in Seward Fair enough! Please remember this and later compare it with the Is per cent paid by the town for the teach CTS salaries and upkeep of the $ hools.
 The Territory of Alaska pays 85 Scr cent of the teachers salaries and upkeep of the schools, (BUT NOT ONE CENT FOR RENT) while the town pays but Is per cent. Now, if We add another teacher to the pre- sent fierce, at a salary of $2000O pc" month we will bring in $170.00 a month of outside money at a cost 0G S30.00 local money, to say nothing of the fact that the local merchant will have another consumer in town who earns s2OOoo a month. This is certainly good business for the mer- chant.
 Every parent, and also merchant, ;rows it costs money to cloth, feed, sl.elter and educate child It is the duty of every parent to give that child the best schooling he can af- ford, and incidentally high school education is mainly foundation for a college career. Now. if our high school is not accredited, a gradual ? oT it can not enter college without first learning certain subjects that we did not teach him because we lacked the teacher and equipment.

 Mr. Frothingnanl. in few prelimi- nary remarks, referred to his addre55 as :: "preachmC1t" and chose for his text that famous line from Rooc,t Louis Stevenson: T know what pleasure is because I have done good work" Call his address a preacn nent or by any other title, it wa5 one of the most 'livewirc, straight from ;ne-snoulder talks that tha

It was, in brief, a clarion call to man-size CT operation of the highest type on the part of Alaskas citizens, among themselves and with "the stranger within our gates"
 First of all, MT. Frothingham stress o1 the fact that there were seven hunters in all who came up on tho Aleutian, whose combined financial outlay for their hunting trips alone amounted to $21,OO0-and that two of them purchased furs in Juneau to the extent of close to s2,OOO. He then went on to elaborate the fact that the salesmanship which made such things as that possible had to be figured on higher plane than mere barter, that there was a moral obligation back of it all, the results of which would de- termine whether these men would re- turn to Alaska and bring others with them or go away disappointed, not SO much with the results of their trin, as possibly the people with whom tllcv came in coatect, and fife char ate %~'~ o~-to~.
