Yukon Territory is faring well at the hands of the Bennett Government in the Dominion. The last Dawson News to arrive said that $200O00 or the unemployment funds available for public works in that Territory. This is in addition to all regular appropriations The dispatch said that $lO- 900 of the amount to be expended in the Mayo district $7OOO in the Dawson district and $3O00 in the Whtehorse district. It will be used to give work to unemployed.
 Early in the session Yukon Territory was recog- nized when Capt George Black, long Yukons mem Der of Parliament elected Speaker of the House and given an entertainment fund of $15,00O n addi- ton to his regular salary. Speaker and Mrs BLACK are the official host and hostess for the House o1 Commons giving Mrs. Black rank next to Countess Willingdon, wife of the Governor-General It may be of interest this side of the line to know that Mrs Black is American born. She was native of Chicago and was married there to the Canadian lawyer, soldier and politician.
 The election of Capt. Black to be Speaker was unanimous The nomination was made by Premier Bennett and seconded by former Premier King, leader of the opposition.

 In certain town there was merchant by the name of Hank Snarl, stated the Lewisburg (Pa) Journal, in little story advertising Hank did not believe in advertising. As the years went by Hanks business dropped gradually away One day there came to Hanks town young man who obtained position as ad solicitor for the local newspaper The old manager told the young man not to waste his time with Hank but the young man was undaunted, and finally per- suaded Hank to put sale of mems suits It was first ascertained that Hank usually sold 100 suits year; that these suits cost $15 and tailed for $3O
 By the agreemnt with Hank the ad agreed to prepare all of the ad copy and conduct the sale
 For the sale the suits reduced to $2250 Three hundred suits were sold Two hundred fifty dollars the amount spent for advertising Hank made profit of $2000 l Who paid for the advertising? Certainly not Hank, for he sold more suits during the sale than he would ordinarily have sold during the entire year. He made profit of $2OO0 $500 more than his usual annual profit 100 suits.
 The people who bought the suits did not pay the bill for in ordinary circumstances they would have paid $50 each for the suits, and they saved money
 It clear that the young man who put on the sale not out of pocket
 Who, then, actually paid for this advertising? !? Why, of course, the bill was paid by the merchants whose suits remained on their shelves, because Hank beat them to their regular customers
 There are a few merchants here in Olympia who do not believe that advertising pays Certainly it pays the American Tobacco Company, General Motors, Ford and all the other companies of Ma tonal prominence.
 l Advertise in The Daily Olympian and note the difference in what you take from the old cash register Tell present and possible customers, through The Daily Olympian, what and why they should buy from you. The merchants who don't advertise will pay your advertising bill.

ues seem to have Stabilized on a basis
where the average yields of standard
crops will yield fair return on the
selling price of land, when the proper
ty is in the hands of an experienced
farmer. Farms bought on the basis
of what the farm is capable of produc-
ing under fair management over a

good investments for farmers. The
record of sales by this bank show an
improved demand for farms and most

Friday at the Maryland theatre. The
scrappers are Sailor Vincent and Nate
Slott. Slot once was amateur feath-
erweight champion of the Middle
West. Sailor Vincent was welterweight
champion of the U. S. Navy for seven
years. He is we'll known to fight fans
in Los Angeles and along the Pacific
coast.
"Hit the Deck" adapted from the

ty, and Jack Oakie, comedian, in the
leading roles. The cast includes June

Many of the stirring exterior scenes
were made at the U. S. Naval base at

sequences and hundreds of singers and
dancers add brilliancy to the story.
