Where Was the Macy?

The World war changed history. The influence of the great
war will be felt for ages to come. Most boys and girls Gas we'll as
grown ups) know a good deal about the mobilization Of four
million Americans and the part played in the war by American
troops. Few know much, if anything, about the part played by
the United States navy in the World war. 1t fought no great bat
ties, bombarded no shore areas, and so there is nothing spectacular
to remember about its part in the great war. But, without the navy,
the army could not have participated in the war.
Our Washington Bureau has ready for you a carefully COM
piled bulletin, drawn from official government reports and files,
which summarizes in brief but complete form the actual activities
Of the United States navy in the war.
You will be interested in this bulletin, whether you are a Stu
dent, a former COB or merely a citizen who wants to know. Fill

Too Interested in Europe

MAYBE the geniuses who run
1V1 this government we're too in
terested in disarmament, the Man
churian situation, or saving Europe
to notice what was going on.
We certainly do not appear to lack
for energy or interest when there is
a foreign row to settle, a foreign
land in trouble, or a foreign prob
lem to solve.
When it comes to farmers and
unemployment, however, private en-
terprises, Or local agencies are ex-
pected to shoulder the burden.
One need not quarrel with that
idea to prove that our government
should have known and could have
known much more about the grain
situation abroad,

Given Wrong Impression

TINE west and south are said to
be jubilant over the prospect
OF dollar wheat and dollar oil, but
think of the boys who didn't wait
to get it, and who didn't wait large
ly because people who are supposed
to know and who are paid to find
out didn't yarn them of the true
situation.
For n reason or another, the
whole country has been led to be-
lieve that the wheat market was
glutted hopelessly, that the federal
farm board had just about busted
itself trying to carry the load, and
that there was little prospect of bet
ter prices.
AS one of the suckers who didn't
lose anything, this writer would like
to know exactly how, or where, such
impression originated, and why
more wasn't done to correct it.

C o u unsels Small
 To wn A d. vertising

Commenting on the depres- sion, one of the country's greatest publicists counsels merchants and dealers every where to advertise, including those in the smaller communi- ties possessing a local paper. Continuing, he says:
 . "In many places, notably the smaller communities, the news paper is having a hard strug- gle for existence. It may be live sheet, ably edited, but the local merchant in many in- stances feels that everybody knows him" and that is it not necessary to advertise; that "he does about the same amount of business anyway"
 He fails to appreciate what it means to his community to spread the new abroad of its doings, of it's achievements and of its opportunities for busi- ness and newcomers.
 Every new family drawn to the community means at least $1,000 more spent in that con- munity yearly. Every merchant gets his share of it.
 In supporting the newspaper by advertising the merchant both help in his own trade and encourages enterprise on the part of the publisher, and the greater publicity given the town and district the more rapid the growth.
 The local newspaper is the Chamber of Commerce and publicity bureau combined. Il should have the support of everyone, to the end that the greatest amount of good may be accomplished. Thousands of dollars worth of free advertis- ing is given away every year by the local newspaper. Every little thing is boosted, and peo- pie abroad are told what a fine place your town is.

The Wiles of Women

Whatever one may think of the present female habit of painting, penciling, dyeing and the like, it must be admitted that while the effects obtained. may be in a degree deceptive, there is no attempt made to conceal the fact that artificial aids to beauty are employed.
 Even the most unsophisticat- ed of men are aware that art s brought to the aid of nature with utmost frankness. Wheth- ar the effects produced really lend charm to the modern woman is largely a matter of individual opinion.
 In former times a woman who employed cunning devices to lure the male sex were frown- ed upon. A Massachusetts, law of 1884 forbade the wear ing of "any apparel, either woolen, silke, or lynnen, with any lace on it, or silver, golde or silver threads. The English parliament of TITO passed an act providing "that any wom- an who shall entice the mar riage of any of His Majesty's subjects by means of perfume, false hair or false hips shall be condemned as a sorceress and the marriage shall be declared null and void.
 Since those days customs have changed greatly but human na- lure has not.

local newspaper find reward for it's efforts. The subscrlpt- ions do no more than pay for the cost of publishing and de- livering the paper.
 In supporting the paper by advertising the merchant is contributing not only to the re- lief of business depression and to his own direct benefit but to the future of the commun- ity.

TEN YEARS OR so AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
 November 9, 1921

lHe hyueF OOIlHlRFclal ASSOC iation, consisting of President w. s. Orr, H. H. Howard and Sam Potts, has drawn up petition to be forwarded to the Rivers and Harbors committee of the Senate and Delegate Sutherland asking the federal government to build a wharf at Hyder. The petition recites that under present conditions all passengers, mail and freight are brought ashore on scows from boats anchored in the harbor, and that it is inn possible to land even in this manner except at high tide, or approximately four hours out of twenty-four.
 The finance committee of the Hyder Commercial Association was instructed at the last meet ing to canvas for funds for fencing the unprotected por- tions of the streets, to prevent further accidents resulting from people falling off into the tide flats in the dark. It was pointed out how fortunate the town has been that of all who have taken the so-called high dive" (numbering per haps 200) not one has suffer- ed more than a broken bone or two, when by all the laws of averages, broken necks or drowning might have been ex- pected. The secretary reported that the chemical fire engine ordered some time ago has been shipped from Peoria, H., and might be here on the next boat.
 R. w. Keith this week sold the Alaska Cafe to J. K. Green who will take charge on the 18th of this month. The Alaska Cafe was established early in 1919 by MT. Keith and is now the oldest restaurant in the camp.
 The Stoner building on Main Street, opposite the Miners Hotel, has been leased by J.. K. Green and is being remod- eled into a moving picture theatre by P. c. Beaudreau. Clay Porter and George Mehl- field are we'll satisfied with the results of the seasons develop ment on their Idaho group on the north fork of Marmot riv- CT. The work done this year consisted of a tunnel 100 feet in length which follows an offshoot of the main vein and has opened up a good shoot of ore which assays from $500 to 5000 per ton. The tunnel has almost reached the main vein and the ore has widened to five feet in the face with Is inches of ore that will run $500 or better.
 Captain Swanson has put the motor boat Pachena on the run from Rupert during the winter months to alternate with the John.
 Work on the Fish Creek Min ing Company property on Fish Creek will be carried on con- tinuously during the coming winter, according to w. R. Tonkin, president and general manager. The upper tunnel has tapped the vein at a depth of 58 feet after being driven 12O feet and has exposed ore five feet in width, about one-third of. which is of shipping grade.
 As the ore is mined it will be sorted and the high-grade sacked for shipment when transportation becomes better, Fifteen tons of ore that will as
