KELLER ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY.

w. K Keller A B and A. M, for seven years Superintendent of Juneaus public schools, has an- nonced his candidacy for Commissioner of Education Before coming to Juneau MT. Keller served for two years as Superintendent of Schools at Fair banks
 MT Keller will make the for Commissioner of Education independent of any party organiza- ton He will do that he says, because he believes that the schools ought to be kept free of politics. If one should run for the office as Democrat or a Republican or as a member of any other political party organization it would tend to throw the public school system into the whirlpool of part- san politics he believes.
 Mir Keller is professional educator. He has elected to follow education as a life work. He IS not politician and does not want to be one. He has two college degrees and is working on another His proficiency in his profession is testified to by the circumstance that he had been elected Super intendent of the Public Schools at Juneau seven times in a row without dissenting vote from the School Board. It is superfluous to say that his work at Juneau has been satisfactory.
 It may be said in MT. Kellers behalf also that he is loyal Alaskan. He has followed his pro- fession in the Territory for nine years, and he likes Alaska and proposes to stay here.
 Mir Keller is the first to announce his candidacy for this office, and he did not do that until he had been urged to do so by people inter ested in education from various sections of the Territory-from people who think it is Of para mount importance that the public schools should be kept out of politics-especially out of party politics.
 That Mir Keller is splendidy equipped for the position to which he aspires there be ques- tion.

WHY NOT?
by its works

The Territorial Medical Association has carried an advertisement in all the Alaska papers urging people to pay their doctor bills. According to the tenor of the advertisement and the observations of physicians and surgeons larger proportion of people neglect to pay their doctors than overlook their grocers, clothiers and others.
 Assuming that the premise is true, we put in with the doctors. They indispensable to the health and comfort of all Alaska towns and other places. They devote years of hard work and spend large of money in acquiring the knowledge and skill that enable them to heal the sick aid the injured and often save life As the advertise ment intmates the doctors have to use money with which to get the necessities of life and the only way they have to get it is for those to whom they render services to pay them
 One ought to give his physician the same, at least consideration that he gives to other creditors As the advertisement said: "Why not start the New Year by paying that long overdue bill that you your doctor?" Why not?

IIIB OO I4NO UNI ES By Mary Graham Bonner

"They don't seem to want to play" the Little Black Clock told John, as some of the little croa- lures back of the fireplace did not follow the leaders signal.
 The leader had waved his little right hand finger which looked like tiny flame and the others had come forward with their bright costumes.
 IL has looked for few moments as though there were going to be a beautiful fire. They had all talked about the cozy fires they were going to give the people and how pretty they would make the fierplace look.
 But now the fire did not seem to be going There were some little creatures pouting and complaining and saying that they did not want to help any one.
 Now look here" said the leader, this isn't right. You're trying to keep the fire from going Whats the matter?"
 We just don't want to do any thing" the pouting ones said. "We want people to have trouble with the fire and fuss over it. We don't care about playing this game"
 "Nowl Now! Nowl" sparkled the leader We must not let these pouting ones get the better of us."
 So every other little creature back of the fireplace began to burn as brightly as could be, and the pouting ones went off by them selves and just pouted. No one paid any attention to them.
 John and Peggy watched the fire grow more and more lovely. How the little creatures danced and sang and cracked with joy!
 You sec" explained the Little Black Clock, there are always some who don't want to play or do any thing, and when you see anyone having trouble in starting fire you'll know it's because the pouting once are about"
 So, after that, whenever the fam fly had trouble with the fire, John and Peggy would look at each other in a knowing way.
 Those pouting ones are around" " they would whisper to each other.

THE VALUE OF THE ALASKA JUNEAU

We have said lot from time to time about the value to Juneau and the North of the Alaska Juneau Mine Not the least of the valued phases of this great property is the willingness of those who own and operate it to develop other properties and their financial and technical ability to do The wonderful organization of which the Alaska Juneau is the Northern basis is not only ready but it is anxious to secure promising prospects. It has the money to prospect properties to the point of dis closing whether not they worthy of devel opment and then to develop and operate them. It not only has the funds but it has on the ground competent engineers to pass upon prospects and to do the prospecting developing and operating. It is efficiency personified and loses no time when it becomes interested The locator will get run for his money and results fast money and competent ascertain the facts

EsTHREATENS
CENSUS OFFICE

The pressing need Of fireproot
buildings for Government pur-
poses was again forcibly demc.l-
strated last Thursday when a
small fire broke out in one OF
the electrical wall panels at the
Census Building, at Sixth and
d Streets Northwest.
The news of the fire quickly
spread among many hundreds Of
employees and caused q commo-
ton until they were assured that
the blaze was extinguished, and
had done practically no damage.
Had it not been for the prompt
action Of the guards in the build
ing In making use of the fire ex.
tinguishing apparatur the fire
might have been a repetition Of
the blaze which nearly three
weeks ago destroyed temporary
building No. 4, at Twenty-first and
c Streets Northwest occupied by
the Foreign Trade Commission.
Lieutenant Butler, assistant d.
rector Of public buildings and
parks, said today that an exarni.
nation Of the building and elec-
trical wiring had disclosed that
everything was in good condition,
and that the fire was probably
caused by the natural process OF
decay Of the building, which is
also one of the old wartime
buildings.

Three TRAFFIC

Approval of three changes m

The most important change in

The other changes involve pro

MARINE RESERVES
PARADE IN REVIEW
Brig. Gen. Butler Praises Men for
Proving Themselves
Real Marines"

Soldierly and we'll drilled after two
weeks in training at Quantico, Va, the
goth Marine Reserve Regiment passed
in review shortly after noon today at
the District Building before Brig. Gen.
B. H. Fuller, acting commandant of
commandant of the Marine Reserves;
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president
of the Board Of District Commissioners,
and other District officials.
In a farewell address before the Goth
left its training quarters, Maj. Gen.
Smedley d. Butler, u. S. M. c., referred
in glowing terms to the regiments rec
ord of achievement during the period
in camp.
"You have been real Marines and a
credit to the uniform you wear" he
said. You have done what experts
said could not be done; that is, to
produce in six months of recruiting an
efficient Marine Corps field regiment
in full. While the craftsmanship rec
ords have not been tabulated, unofficial
returns are to the effect that an un-
usually high percentage qualified as
marksmen, sharpshooters and expert
rif1emen.
The I'd Battalion, under Capt. Harvey
L. Miller, won the highest score in
drill competitions yesterday for various
cups and awards. Company G, under
Capt. Robert H. Wynn, won the close
order drill event.
A squad from Company I, under d.
rection of Pvt. H. N. Smith, took first
honor as the best squad in the regi-
ment, while Pvt. Smith himself received
the medal for the best Marine" pre-
sented by the District of Columbia De-
partment of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Company X, was awarded the regi-
mental surgeons cup for the company
with the best health record. The COM
pany, recruited mostly from the Capital
Heights vicinity, was commanded by
Capt. j. W. Luckett. The surgeons cup
for the most valuable Marine In the
Medical detachment was won by Corp.
r. w. Reeves, while the surgeons cup
for the most valuable man in the regi-
mental band was won by Sergt. L. r.

RECORD DROUGHT
W|THER|NG CROPS
Weather Experts See No
Prospect of Relief in Hard
est Hit States.

Spreading East from the Rocky
Mountains over score of States, the
month-long drought described by
weather experts as gripping its hardest
in Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mary
land and Virginia gave no indication
today of breaking Statistics just COM
piled by the Weather Bureau show it
the worst ever recorded in these States
having extended in some cases over the
past eight months. Crops are burning
up in many sections and low streams
already are threatening to curtail the
supply of water in some Maryland
communities.
Although complete 40-year records
were not available for other States. the
dry spell was said to be almost as severe
throughout Tennessee, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas, while
parts of Missouri, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota Texas and
Oklahoma grew drier hourly with no
relief in sight.
Enormous Water Shortage.
j. B. Kincer, chief of the Weather
Bureaus division of agricultural mete-
orology, calculates that in one State
alone-Ohio-th shortage of rainfall
on the basis of normal precipitation has
actually amounted to 140 900 900 tons
of water day for the past 1877 days
If this deleted moisture had to be
carried into the State for use by farm
ers. municipal water plants and water
power companies, Kincer said, it would
mean $4,000 trains of 100 cars each
would he Yoadnd pyorv dav FarI rar
OF every train, he said, would have to
carry so tons of water
During the period from March / to
July II. DR.. Kincer continues, only "a
per cent of normal rainfall has been
experienced throughout the Buckeye
State, while. other drought-clutched
States have been in an even worse
plight.
In Kentucky, from March / to June
/, he said, there has been only so per
cent of normal rainfall, while over a
seven-month period, starting with De-
cember, Virginia has had only SIS per
cent and West Virginia only Sc per
cent.
Warning Is Issued.
Warning already has been issued in
parts of Maryland that unless rain falls
inhabitants will be forced to curtail
their water consumption by half.
C. L. Mitchell, Weather Bureau fore
caster was at a loss concerning the
actual cause of the long continued
drought. Heavy rains. he said, are
caused by disturbances in the upper
air currents, which, in the United
States, move almost without exception
from southwest to northeast, and there
have been very, very few disturb
