REASON FOR LIVING

A friend who is somewhat con- eerned about the final outcome of the present world depression, says the only reason he can find for living is to see what is coming next. Perhaps he can sympathize with the man that Frank L. Stanton wrote about in the following verse: His hoss went dead an his mule
 went lame: He lost six cows in a poker game; A hurricane came on summers day An carried the house whar' he
 lived awey; Then a airthquake came when that
 wuz gone, An swallowed the Ian that the
 house stood on! An the tax collector, he come roun' An charged him fer the hole in
 the groun'i An the city marshal-he come in
 view
 An said he wanted his street tax
 too! Olu uE nudu an aAEhs oA0 Ao S1N
 an cry, An cuss the hurricane sweepin'
 by? Did he grieve that his or friends
 failed to call, When the airthquake come an
 swallowed all? Never a word O. blame he said, With all them troubles on top his
 headi Not him. He clumb to the top
 O. the hill, Whar' standin' room wuz left him
 still, An barin' his head, here's what he
 said:
 "I reckon it's time to git up an
 git; But, Lord, I hain't had the measles
 yit!"

A SUDDEN CHANGE IN SCENES
Steward Gateway)

In a recent edition of the Sum- day Los Angeles Times there ap- pears in the rotograyure section a photograph of the Alaska Railroad loop but in the brief article ac- companying the illustration the loop is placed on the Copper River & Northwestern Railway.
 We can't stand for that!
 We had a great time when that Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce gang visited us few weeks ago but had no idea Alaska booze was so potent that it could move a section of a railroad system with one fell swoop. That isn't quite proper either, for we leave the inn pression the boys were heavy drinkers. As far as we know they didn't drop a drink.
 They gave Anchorage a beautiful loving cup, Cordoya the Loop. and Seward the royal salute; at least so it seems. That's all right, we like 'em anyway. Come again and often.

ROASTING OF COFFEE MORE IMPORTANT
 THAN THE BLEND
Under-roasting and Over roasting Produce an Unsat-
 isfactory Flavor

It is fact that two lots of coffee from the same blend can be given entirely different f1avors by differ ent degrees of roast. A delicious, uniform flavor in coffee depends upon uniform roast.
 Hills Bros. invented and patented Controlled Roasting-a process that roasts perfectly all the time. Hills Bros. Coffee always has the full charm of the flavor that Nature puts in the coffee berries.
 As the accuracy of the hour-giass depends upon an even, continuous flow |. a little at a time so a perfect, uniform flavor Is secured in Hills Bros. Coffee by Controlled R6asting-the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously c little dt time, There is automatic control of heat-thereby eliminat- ing guesswork, which is the con= stant problem when coffee is roasted in bulk.
 Vacuum cans preserve the won derful flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tightp cans won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.

WET RECEPTION

The Congressional party now visiting Alaska seemed to meet with a wet reception at the various ports. Wrangeu seldom experiences a worse downpour than greeted the delega- ton when it arrived here. The Juneau Empire reported steady rain there but said members or the party declared it was most wei come after travelling in hot, dry and dusty lands where they had heard little except irrigation and drouth. The Seward Gateway ex- pressed the disappointment of citi- zens there that the rain prevented the visitors from seeing the full beauty of Resurrection Bay.

WHEN JUSTICE FAILS

The various Wickersham reports
on the state of criminal justice in
the United States must have start
led many of our citizens.
Police brutality, political-criminal
alliances, obsolete methods of hand
ling criminals, corrupt lower courts
such elements as these stand in
the way of fair application of JUS
tide. We have built up a gigantic
legal machinery, based on thousands
of laws and bound with red tape,
and it has failed.
If we are to have respect for law,
we must clean house. We must sep
arate politics and crime We must
completely overhaul our law books,
retaining fundamental laws, and
throwing out the unenforcible and
fatnatical. We must go hack to the
old idea of law-making which pro-
tected both the rights of society and
individual liberties.
We cannot make the nation law
abiding by passing more laws. We
must give the crime problem the
logical attention it deserves Or sur
render to the lawless element which
thrives on liberty-restricting legis-,
lation.

THE PRODIGAL GIRL

Sweet poets have sung of the beau
ties of home,
It's comforts, its love, and its joy;
How. back to its peace. his sins tC
cOndOne,
Is welcomed the prodisal boy.
They picture his father with par
doning pride,
And glittering robes to unfurl;
But none of the poets have thought
it worth while
To sing of the prodigal girl.
The prodigal son can resume mis- old
place,
A leader in fashions mad whirl,
With never a hint of his former dis
grace;
But what of the prodigal girl?
The girl may return to the home
that she left,
But nothing is ever the same;
The shadows still linger DER lear
ones bereft
Society SCOTS at her name
Perhaps that is why, when a prodi-
gal girl
Gets lost on life's devious track,
She thinks of the lips that will
scornfully curl.
I'D she hasn't the heart to come
back.
Yes, welcome the prodigal son to
his place,
Be merciful to him and just,
But shut not the door in his frail
sisters face,
Because some mans son broke a
trust.
