 A log cabin charter will be is sued by the Grand Igloo whenever a group of 25 or more young per sons make application. This was deemed necessary in order that a fraternal organization composed of real Alaskans might be perpetual ed after the oldtimens are gone.

FOR THE DEFENSE

Editor The Sentinel:
 A certain good man takes a fling at the chamber of Commerce, the airport, and eriticizes the price at which my firm was awarded the contract. Now there have been ru- mors that have reached my ears that this certain good man is a con- tractor himself If this be true. why then, did he not bid on this job? If the airport could have been built for sS4OO0. as he claims, why did not this loud-wailing pro- teetor of the public purse submit a bid for that amount and save our fair city and territory the differ- enee? What odds if there were no profit in it for him? One so wrap ped up in civic welfare would gain his reward in thanks from the pop ulace.
 Some people are always ready to stand on the sidelines and criticize after thing is done. Now, here is prophet who had it in his hands to save "the people" the difference between his estimate on the airport contarct and the price for which it was let, yet sits idly by, resting on his oars. until a year has passed. Then he awakes with a gasp, grabs his big stick, and tries to pick a fuss with the chamber of Com merce. Granted a mistake has been made. At least it is better to ac- comphsh something. and make an error occasionally, than to sit idly by and yelp when anyone else tries to get busy. I like these let's go" boys a lot better than do the T told you SO" gang.

g country is saYedi


 Comes word from Southeastern Alaska that practically all members of the territorial legislature are at Juneau ready to uncork their wares March 4.
 Along with the poon outlook for the halibut. salmon and fur this season. and Alaska Railroad cross word puzzles. it is the concensus of opinion among the legislators that they should make conditions tougher in the Territory by dili- gently pncticing economy.
 All over the United States, towns, cities and the government are spend ing to the limit for public improve ments and local projects in an effort to restore confidence and relieve the unemployment crisis.
 The Alaska legislators had better listen to the people who put them where they are; instead of economic ing in appropriations. they had bet ter spend to the limit. They can do no better than follow the die tates of similar groups and distrib- ute funds with a free hand; with a smile instead of with funeral-like demeanor.

FINEST CHOCOLATE CREAMS ARE DIPPED
 ONE AT A TIME
For a Similar Reason Hills Bros. Roast Their Coffee a
 Few Pounds at a Time

Candy makers agree that when creams are dipped one at time in the chocolate, the coating is applied much more evenly than when dipped in big patches.
 According to the results achieved by Hills Bros, this same principle holds true in roasting coffee. By roasting few pounds at a time by a continuous process, instead of large patches, a uniform roast is certain.
 This process originated, and pat ented by Hills Bros, is called Con trolled Roasting" Controlled" is most appropriate word because dur ing the entire roasting process there is automatic regulation. This control accurately regulates the flow of coffee through the roasters also the temperature. Every berry of the rare blend is roasted to a degree that insures perfection. No other coffee has the same deli cious flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee.
 Freshness is always guaranteed in Hills Bros. Coffee because it is packed in vacuum cans. By this method, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out, and kept out of the can. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab the trade-mark-on the can. Sold everywhere by grocers.

BOOSTERS Ys. KNOCKERS

A writer in the Open Forum eol umn this week draws a parallel be- tween citizens who take an active part in working for the good of the town and those who confine their efforts to criticizing mistakes made by the active workers.
 Without wishing to take any part in the particular issue at point, we do wish to state that Wrangell seems to have rather more than its share Of the latter type of citizen. Of course they are to be found in all cities, and much of this spirit in Wrangell may wear of with the coming of good weather; neverthe- less we believe Wrangell would profit by a little more constructive effort and a little less knocking of the efforts of others.
 Since coming to Wrangell we have attended every meeting of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, and every regular meeting but one of the town council, and every spe- cial meeting of the council that we were notified of.
 At the chamber of commerce it's about the same little bunch that meets week after week, and if the meeting is extended beyond l O. clock the members present begin to consult their watches worriedly. Of a total membership of around fifty hardly ever more than a dozen are present.
 At the council meetings no citi- zen puts in an appearance simply because he is interested in the gen. eral welfare of the town, but never unless he has some purely personal interest at hand.
 But just as soon as the plans or activities of either chamber or coun- ciI are noised abroad the knockers are out in full force-but still few of them come before either chamber or council to present their criticism. They sound of on the street corner, and a few of the more hardy take advantage of The Sentinels Open Forum column.
 Personally we are pretty well leu on all LnAn DdIh 56dl uiAN AAb by people who balk at taking the wheel themselves. Both chamber and council meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend and both bodies are always willing to listen to fair-minded criticism of their actions. Neither body is proof against a possible error in judg- ment, but neither should it be ques- tioned that, to the best of their knowledge and ability, both have the interests of the town at heart.
 Wrangell is on the verge of bet ter times. It seems to us that those who have faith and true interest in Wrangell will forget their petty little peanut jealousies and cooper ate for the benefit of the town as a whole. There is no question con- fronting us in which is not indi- cated clearly the correct answer, and nothing but selfish motives can excuse any citizen for not join ing with the rest for the common good.

The elephant may be a harm

one of the most destructive ami

spend his life figuring out new

animals for ZOOS. and Mrs. Pat

Francis Michels Sunday blue law
repeal bill will face a crucial test
on the floor of the State senate
today, according to present indi-

the judicial committee will bring
the bill, with two important
amendments, out for considera-
tion today.
Both amendments, it is under
stood, will require the mayor and
city council of Baltimore to draft
stipulations and place them be-
fore the voters of the city for
ratification at the next election.
Should the bill be adopted with
these amendments, IL will take on
a purely local significance, and in
no way concern the general en-
forcement of blue laws through
out the State.

Gently branded the bill as in

While Wood indorsed co-opera,

it was a difficult task TO draw
them all together. The wheat
situation is the result Of world
wide over-production which no
board could cure. Reduction of
the wheat acreage, he said, the
situation may right itself. He

Leaders Hope to Weld Forces
Until a Coalition Ticket
Is Formed; Second Meeting

ROCKVILLE. Md, March 81.
The meeting of anti-organization
Democrats and Republicans called
for Friday, April 10, at 8 p. m +,
at the Manor Club located at
Norbeck, near Silver Spring, is
looked upon as a direct challenge
to the efforts of the Montgomery
Government Club to consolidate
political activities in Montgomery
County in behalf of the present
county administration.
This was learned today when
a canvass of leaders of the anti
administration forces was made.
The call for the meeting was
issued by an executive commit
tee" composed of w. L. Aud,
Edward Peter, E. Barrett Pretty
man, Carey Quinn and R. L. Tol-
son, all of whom have been
prominent in their opposition to
the regular Democratic ticket con-
trolled by Major E. Brooke Lee
of Silver Spring.
Yields Forces
Members of the executive com
mittee said the Manor Club meet
ing undoubtedly is the first Of
series designed to hold intact
the anti-organization forces until
the formation of fusion county
ticket in 1884.
They pointed out that invita-
tions. to the meeting have been
extended to all citizens OF the
county regardless of present polltl
cal affiliations and ostensibly
for the purpose of studying leglS-
lation pending in the current
session of the Maryland General
Assembly, which will adjourn
three days prior to the meeting

Club, of which Major Lee is pres
