The last quarter of the 18th century developed wonderful inventions. But it seems doubt full if it could be compared with the marvels of the first quarter of our century, with it's automobiles, it's radios, and its airplanes.
 The effects of automobiles has been one of the most far reaching changes in the hist ory of society. It has pulled people out of their stationary habits, and given them a free range of movement. It enables people to have homes in the country and work in cities and towns. It has saved country neighborhoods from decay. At the same time it does make many people restless, and little inclined to settle down and work as the faithful old timers used to.
 It must be the mission of the years immediately ahead, to give these people who have ac- quired added power, a true conception of aims and pur- poses. They must be shown that sports and pleasures alone will not do them much good. They need to seek knowledge, intelligence, and interest in the good causes of the time. With enlightened motive added to increased power, then we shall see rapid advance in social welfare.

Word of a quartz strike at Mile 126 on the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad, was brought to Cordova recently. The property is described as being located on the Copper River, and only one-half mile from the railroad. The strike is said to have been made by Gus Wilson, who owns the ground, and is believed to be working in partnership with Andrew and Emil Swanson. Those who have talked with the prospectors and gone over the ground, state that a ledge eight feet wide and two miles long, of free-milling ore, has been traced.

she's getting too fat.

Dad doesn't really mind his big paunch, but so darned many people say, "You aren't so slim as you used to be, are you Jim?" that in desperation he takes to exercises, suffers the tortures of using long un- used muscles, an d lives on a slice of toast and water just to put the silencer on that "get- ting fat" speech.
 And how the fat ones do envy the thin ones whom the doctor orders to drink lots of milk, eat beefsteak and all the candy they want.
 But suppose you are a thin one and hate milk? Still you will suffer the nauseating stuff just so you won't have to hear people say My goodness, girl, you're nothing but a wra- ith."
 Somehow or other, one can't aelp thinking that old Gibbon, who wrote "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is to be envied for his courage. The doctor told him, so the tory goes, that he'd die if he kept on getting fatter. He re- quired a specially built chair pig enough for two ordinary folk. But he said he'd be darn ed if he'd give up eating the way he wanted to, and so he died glorying in his fatness.

WHAT NEWSPAPER
ADS. DID,.

It was only a few years ago that the retail stores in towns and the smaller cities did the bulk of their weeks business on Saturday. While the other five business days might have paid expenses the merchant depended upon the Saturday sales for the major portion of his weeks profit. Needless to say the average merchant would have been exempt from excess profit taxes in those days.
 The newspaper is given cred it for discovering the possibili- ty of scattering the Saturday peak load over the six business days of the week and it was newspaper advertising which has achieved the present more equitable distribution of the weeks business. Saturday is still the merchants busy day, but now he is only a little less busy on the preceding five days.
 This is only one of the many services performed for busi- ness by newspaper advertising. It is irrefutable that a great part of the increase in business experienced by the retail stores generally in recent years has been created by newspaper advertising. Newspaper adver- Using has been the "Aladdin's Lamp" of the retail merchant. There are still isolated towns where one may see for himseli what might have been" the nation over if newspaper ad vertising had never been.

LET HOOVER DO
IT, is PLEA ON
FARM AID ISSUE
Agricu|ture'S Hope Lies
With President Elect,
Bureaus Told.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The Amer
lean farmers hope for legislative
relief lies in his willingness to
await the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Elect Herbert Hoover, Repre-
sentative L. J. Dickinson of Iowa
said in address at the closing ses-
sion of the annual meeting of the
American Farm Bureal Federation
today.
Radical demands that the present
short session of congress pass farm
legislation would ignore the Hoo
yer program through which farm
ers believe campaign promises will
be enacted into legislation, Dickin-
son said.
Wording Is Important
ITO say that the new adminiStra-
ton should not direct the details
by which these promises are to be
enacted into legislation is to en-
barrasS every one participating in
the campaign" he said.
Dickinson cited the campaign
promise of President-Elec Hoover
to create a federal farm board to
consider the problem of agriculture.
He commented upon the construc-
ton of a new farm bill.
1.-THE wording Of the new bill will
be all-important," he said. "The
authority given the board is to be
all-controlling. The very details of
the legislative authority granted is
the yardstick by which the benefits
Of the legislation can be measured.
"Fee or No Fee"
Dickinson said he believed farmers
should join in supporting the Hoover
program Notwithstanding the fact
that the equalization fee provision of
the old bill is omitted.
This is not surrender to any
of the principals that many of us
have supported" Dickinson said
"It is an honest experiment that
will prove one of two conclusions.
EITHER that the equalization pro-
vision is not an essential provision
of the law or the lack of such a pro-
vision will become apparent, and
the need supplied by the amendment
adding either the equalization fee or
a substitute"

ANYWAYS WILL
CEMENT PEACE,
SAYS COOLIDGE
Trans Oceanic Air Com
merCe Painted as Spur
to Friendship.
BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The
world is looking forward to the day
when extensive and reasonably safe
inter continental and intei oceanic
air transportation will cement more
fir J the bonds Of international
brotherhood, President Coolidge
said in an address of welcome here
today before the international civil
aeronautics conference.
Fifty nations were represented at
the conference, whose attention, 1.-THE
President pointed out, was to be
directed to 1.-The development of
aeronautics as an aid to the peace
full pursuits of transportation, of
commerce, and of trade"
what the future holds out even
the imagination may be inadequate
to grasp" Coolidge said. 1--WE may
be sure, however, that the perfection
and extension of air transport
throughout the world will be of the
utmost significance to civilization.
Draws Nations Closer
while the primary aim Of this
industry is and will be commercial
and economic and the prosperity of
the world will be UNNECESSARILY adj
vanced by it, indirectly, but no less
surely, will the nations be drawn
more closely together in bonds of
amity and understanding"
Coolidge said the Always of the
world today, which marked the first
quarter century of the history of
human flight, have greater mile
age than rail mileage in 1850, the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
opening of the first railroad.
1.-THE aeronautics branch of our
department of commerce is vigilant,
resourceful, and progressive" he
said. "It has inaugurated a COM
prehensive system of regulation and
control of aircraft manufacture as
well as operation. Always are laid
out over the best flying country,
and aids to f1yings, such as beacons
and weather reports, are furnished
An air-information service Is
maintained and aeronautic research
carried on through the bureau OF
standards. Valuable cooperation is
rendered in the establishment and
equipment of airports."
On Oct. /, the President said, fur
ther, 1887 ports were available for
use of army, navy and civilian craft.
Almost nine hundred more were in
prospect, he said.
Means Much to United States
"Air transport means much to the
United States, divided IS it is in the
west by lofty mountain ranges and
deserts" Coolidge said. I'm the
early days it took six months to go
from Missouri to the Pacific coast.
An airplane has travelled across
the continent in less than twenty
four hours. We are stretching out
our arms through the air to Canada
and to our other friends and neigh
bors in the south"
A large part of the Presidents
speech was given over to resume
of the aeronautical history from the
flying pigeon constructed by the
Greek mathematician and mechan-
ician, Archytas, in the fourth CEN
fury, B. c., through the Wright
brothers experiments twenty-five
years ago at Kitty Hawk, N. c., to
the epochal transatlantic flight in
1927 of Colonel Lindbergh.
In speaking of the advances made
in aeronautics, the President said
that mo achievement of an in the
progress of civilization has had a
more rapid expansion"

The States use" system provides

There was a gain of $14,917.19 in
