SELLING LARSON BOOKS

Read the Larson books! Books of Power and Progress. Man can live greater life than he has lived in the past.
 Whatever your life now is it can be greater. Whatever your joys now are they can be more. These books show you the possi- bilities in man and give you prac- tical methods of applying them. They are interesting and inspir- 1ng," says Miss Jessie Wiley, a re- cent arrival in Seward who will canvas the city, taking orders for Larson books. Miss Wiley has Room 8, over the Seward Grill should anyone desire to call for further inflammation.

\. }. bALDERsTON ELECTED PRESIDENT
 SEWARD GOLF CLUB

Under the leadership of A. D.
 Balderston, city official who on
 Tuesday evening was elected pres
 ident of the Seward Golf Club,
 new vigor is elected into the or
 ganization which is planning an
 extensive improvement program
 on the course, beginning today. i A number of devoteeS of the
 game were on hand last evening
 when Past President H. s. Bald
 erston called the meeting to or
 der. Election of officers was the
 first order of business and upon
 H. s. Baldeston signifying his be- lief another should take over the chair, A. D. BalderSton was nom- mated and unanimously elected. Likewise Dr. A. D. HaverStOck as Vice President and H. s. Balder- Ston as treasurer
 Leon Urbach was appointed as chairman of membership and on the spot enrolled 10 and collec- ed firm them annual dues which are $5.
 Each member in attendance was aloted a certain number of tentative members for enrolment but it is particularly pointed out that owing to the activities of the next week or so of members pre- sent last evening, on the course, anyone wishing to play or join the Seward Golf Club ;. should make known their desire at once to any member. It is impossible for anyone to know all who may be interested; with a large mem bership, the Seward Golf Club course can acquire a reputation second to none in Alaska; in fact, Ia national reputation.
 Those who have given the sub- ject consideration, realize a good golf course is one of the best aS- sets any town or city can boast. A crew of about six men began work on the greens and fairways today Cattle, horses and auto mobiles will be kept off the field by the erection of a light fence at various points. It is also hoped that sufficient memberships will permit the erection of small shelter in which can be placed ia couple of benches, charts, reg iStry book, etc. It is also hoped that the ladies will become inter ested in the organization to the extent of active participation.

D1d you ever stop to

(By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee oklahoma)
 The best sellers owe their prosperity to continuous advertising.
 No business concern can afford to pass up the opportunity advertising offers to make faster sales and increase popularity. 1 Those who offer their wares or service through the printed page are the ones the pulp lie knows best. People always buy things they know about in preference to those they never l heard of.
 THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS FOR THOSE WHO PROGRESSIVELY GO AFTER ITBY ADVERTISING. |a THE FATE OF MANY A BUSINESS IS SEALED BY LACK OF ADVERTISING, ' THEIR EXISTENCE BEING UNKNOWN k TO THE BUYING PUBLIC. l < CONTINUOUS ADVERTISERS ARE { THOSE WHO YEAR AFTER YEAR SELL. < TO A STEADILY INCREASING NUMBER H OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.

spends on an average annually, fifty
eight dollars. and Kent County spends
on an average, annually, fifty-three
dollars per mile. In the face of these
facts it cannot be again said, that if
we must have better roads. although
in our judgment they are good enough
for ordinary purposes, more money
must be expended for such a public
Improvement. Where this money is
to come from is the question. Many
Of the Eastern shore counties of the
State supply the deficit from a small
direct tax through the oyster industry
by taxing oyster tongers and etc. St,
MarS's County gets a large revenue
from such source, but we have no
such resource to which we can have re-
course We must raise the money bv
direct tax. Are our people able to
bear a heavier tax for the public roads,
is question for them to answer. We
think not. We think that our public
thoroghfares are sufficiently good and

or colored road supervisors should be

clans who so sorely envy his power
and authority, should make the ap-
pointments, are secondary considera-
tons and should be driven from
public thought.

TOBACCO STRIPPING ROOMS

Lack of moisture has put the Charles
County farmer very much behind in
the stripping of the 1881 tobacco crop
Having the crop ready to sell when the
market is good means dollars in the
pocket. One way that this can be more
eaisly accomplished is by having a
stripping room either in the barn or
close by with plenty of light.
The advantages are that sufficient
light in stripping gives better opport-
unity to match color and grade pro-
perly; stripping can be done with more
comfort in room for that purpose
and usually is done better.
Large quantities of tobacco can be
bulked down in these rooms and strip
ping continued long after it goes out
of order in the barns.
The requirements of room are
tightness to prevent draughts from
the drying the tobacco. Plenty of
window light as the light can be cut
down on extremely bright days by
curtaining' the windows with sacks
bat it cannot be increased on dull days.

CHILDHOOD EYE INFECTIONS
BY DR.. Fred Andreae

1t would be improper to leave the
5 u b j ect to the care of the
eyes in childhood without some refer
ence to the contagious character OF the
forms Of eye infections 70 which child
rem are especially liable TO suffer.
There are several different types OF
infections some of Mhich are quite
serious and all OF which may, if neglect
ed prove serious
Any form of eye Inflammation or
eye infection should receive early pro-
fessional attention. The sufferer
should be extremely careful about
communicating the disease to other
members of the family or school
through the use of common towel.
the interchange of handerchiefs and
clothing, and similar forms of com
munication. The child should be ex-
cused from school work during the
period OF the Inflammation and should
remain quietly at home being careful
to under take no work requiring active
use of the eyes.
Tinted glasses may be necessary to
permit comfort or to relieve the eyes
from the dazzling effect flight brought
about by the increased constituencies
Of t h e infected eyes Cleanliness
should be practiced thoroughly and
every preeaution taken to prevent the
spread or increase of the disease.

THE COUNTY ROADS


We occasionally hear something said
about our public roads. PARTICULARLY
is this the case when Democratic
LEGISLATURE is in session. The com
plant comes from handful of plea
yune persons assuming to be repre-
sentatives of the County when in point
Of fact their insignifcance is only
equaled by their audacity and desire
to control the affairs of the County
We of course want good roads, and
the fact is undeniable that consider
ing the amounr Of money we spend
upon our thorough-fares they are the
best in the State That they are not
better is not due as is by some CON
tended, to the class of road supervis.
ors appointed, butte the small amount
OF money expended for that purpose.
We have had under Republican con-
troll white and black road supervisors:

troll white and black road supervisors

any attempt to make it appear that
our roads are not turn pixies because
of the color of skin of the supervisors
is pueril and political bosh. What
we need is more money. In compari-
son with the amount expended by other
counties OF the State, with soil of the
chararacter of the soil of this County;
we exgend less money than any other
County therefore in fairness and equity
the fact that we have not better roads
is attributable to that cause and none
other, however, small fry politicians
may seek TO make appear to the con
trary. We have according to the
latest Geriogieal Survey 4f5 miles of
public roads and on the said roads we
expended on an average ansually of
about $50 per mile while many other
counties of the State spend a much
larger sum and as "a consequence have
better public highways. Take for in
stance Baltimore County: One hun
dred and seventy five dollars per mile
on an average is annually spent in
that county on the public roads; Anne
Arundel spends on an average, an
nually, sixty dollars; Allegheny |
