Progressive Report
Seen AS Step in War
On Naming Hoover
BY WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr.

BY WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr.
The Progressive conference re-
port on public utilities, made pub
lie today through the office of
Senator Norris (R), Nebraska, is
construed by political leaders as
@ definite effort to oppose and
If possible prevent, the renomi-
nation and reelection Of President
Hoover.
Practically every recommended
ton made by the committee runs
directly counter to the public
attitude of Mr.. Hoover and the
Progressive leaders make no Sc
cret of their intention to agitate
these issues as much as possible
during the coming campaign.
Donald r. Richberg, chairman
Of the committee, declared:
II believe public utilities
should be and can be one of
the great issues of the 1882
campaign. But a national is
sue must be simplified at least
In a statement to be effective.
There must be a fight to de-
strOy something clearly bad
and to create something clearly
good. The report is an at
tempt to make such an ISSUE"
Throughout the report there is
a constant recurrence of the de-
mand for public operation of
utilities to serve as examples of
efficiency and reasonably priced
service for comparison with pri-
vate operation. This has long
been the Progressive attitude
toward Muscle Shoals, so far
held in check by presidential
vetoes, but scheduled to break
out again during the next Con-
greSs.

CHAMBER ACTS FOR ALASKA.

The circumstance that we are assured the Gov ernment will not grant the request of the American Pulp and Paper Association to prevent the estab- lishment of pulp and paper mills in Alaska is not enough for the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has urged that the Department of Agri- culture continue aggressvey the policy of encour- aging the establishment of pulp and paper mills in the Territory.
 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce is right, of course Its position and the reasons for it as set forth in the resolutions made public at the Thurs day meeting sound Anything less would be a betrayal of the best interest of Alaska and the country
 Following clear statement of the facts, the Chamber resolved:
 That the President and the Department
 of Agriculture and the various other de-
 partments of the Government concerned in
 the sale of timber for paper making purposes,
 be- and they are hereby urged to continue
 the present negotiations for the sale of
 timber and the licensing of water power
 for in the manufacture of paper in
 Alaska and that they be urged to enter
 into such contracts may be necessary
 for the speedy establishment of paper mills in Alaska under terms and regulations which will make it possible to manufacture pulp and paper in Alaska. and thus utilize the vast forests and water powers which available for the manufacture of paper, and which will necessarily stand idle and be wasted until the paper making industry shall have been established

PRECISE ROASTING GIVES COFFEE THE
 PERFECT FLAVOR
Bulk Methods Can't Equal Flavor That Patented Proc
 ess Develops in Hills Bros. '' Coffee

The perfect flavor of coffee is in- deed a delight to the taste. But you don't get the perfect flavor, unless your coffee has been roasted evenly. Hills Bros. Coffee always is. It's roasted by the patented, Controlled Roasting process.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow ... little at time =. so the uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented proc ess that roasts evenly, continuously -. c little at c time. Each berry receives an even roast. None is underdone, none overdone.
 Such uniformity is not the case with coffee roasted by ordinary bulk methods. For big patches can't be exactly controlled. The coffee may be roasted a bit too much, or not enough. If either happens, you don't get the perfect flavor that Controlled Roasting never fails to achieve.
 Hills Bros. Coffee is strictly fresh, because it's packed in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale! Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

Foreman Kilburn reported the saltwater system in good or der and all hydrants tested and working properly. The maintenance committee work is being held up temporarily pending completion of the fire hall repairs.
 To honor the old-time members of the Department who are gone from the land of the living, now, as is the custom in many other places, it was decided to have a honor roll list of sthe names of those men printed, and photo graphs of as many of them as is possible to obtain, for framing and all to be hung on the walls in the city hall, where they will be an inspiration to the present members. Messrs. Kilburn, Dick Mccormick and Langseth were appointed committee to secure their names and photographs

As Schwab Sees It.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Charles M Schwab interviewed in Detroit a few days ago. asserted that the moratorium on intergovernmental debt payments will help consid- erably not only as an economic stimulus, but by way of fostering more friendly feelings between people. It is very good thing
 MT Schwab held that there has been too much talk about hard times and too much speculation about when good times will return, saying: "A watched pot never boils" He counseled that people stop speculating on how close just around the corner" good business is, because in such case, good business probably would be here before we ready for it.
 In his common-sense view the only way to meet such an experience as have been passing through is to just grin keep on working, stop worrying about the future and go ahead best we can. We always have a way of living through the hard times"
 It is good counsel The conditions of economic circumstance are in degree recurrent Every season of depression appears to it's victims to be the worst ever experienced. But the world moves on Peoples survive these periods and, through ac- to changed conditions, with courage and initiative effort, surmount them.
 So will it be in the present instance. The President has paved the way not alone for Amer- can prosperity, but for world rehabilitation and financial security

co N F ERENCE OF
 COACHES CALLED AT PETE RSBURG
Will Revive Southeast AL aska Inter-School As
 sociation, Is Plan

To revive the Southeast Alaska Interschool Association and discuss matters of importance to it, a meeting of all athletics coaches will be held in Petersburg on Sep tember 26, next, it was announced today by w. K Keller, Commis- sioner of Education At his sugges- tion, Superintendent Beck, Peters burg, has issued an invitation to the several schools to send their coaches to the meeting.
 Included on the list of institu- tions to be represented. are; Ju- neau, Douglas, Haines, Skagway, Sitka, Wrangell and Ketchikan. Steamer schedules, Commissioner Keller said, made it possible for coaches from north and south to meet at Petersburg for one day and get back promptly to their respective homes. It is believed that this will give them plenty of time to attend to all necessary matters.
 The principal business for the coaches is to devise rules of eli- gibility for inter-school competi- ton, draw up a definite playing schedule and to create some kind of a central organization, or author ity, to arbitrate difficulties that may arise between the several schools. Present eligibility rules have not been revised since 1925, and several weaknesses have been discovered in them in recent years.
 There are no Territorial funds available to defray the expenses incident to the conference of the coaches, MT. Keller said, and it will, therefore, be necessary for each school to finance it's own coach for the trip.

Built on Advertising.
(Newark Union.)

(NeWark Unon)
 No merchant ever failed becaues of the money he spent for advertising, but the business history of this country is filled with instances of men who have made brilliant successes in business by means of advertising.
 well written advertisement in the columns of local newspaper is an invitation to every reader of the paper to visit the store and the mer- chandse displayed there.
 well written advertisement attracts attention, interests and creates desire Desire once created, it is but step until the purchase is made.
 A well written advertisement is the best employee any merchant can put his pay roll
 An advertisement to be effective must be backed by good merchandise, attractive store, the right price and modern mercandising methods
 This combination will build business for any merchant who undertakes it seriously and gives it intelligent thought and effort.

SALMON TROLLING PERMITTED.

While the order which permits the continuation of salmon trolling would be important if there were better and more brisk market for the fish, there will be general approval of the action of the Department of Commerce. It will allow the fisher to continue and the shipping of fresh fish in cold storage, mid-cured and sated salmon, giv- ing employment to those engaged in the traffic.
 Among the best features of the order is the recognition that the spawning beds have been amply seeded and the indicated disposition of the authori- ties to permit the taking of all the salmon possible without impairing the supply.

And after due pondering here is
Nancy's suggestion:
Lay the table with white damaSk
cloth. If you can get some of that
shimmering Argentine cloth or the
glazed tarlatan used for transparent
dress bags, lay a wide strip OF that
down the length Of the table. Finish
edges in white scallops bound in red
bias tape.
Get lace paper doilies, rather f1lmy
ones. If you can find them Lay them
in pleatS until they resemble folded
fan Cut out the center leaving deep
frill which will stand up like ruchng
when opened, Have at least six OF
these.
In the center heap a large pile OF
Cutlery silver Christmas tree ornaments
Let the paper frills surround these un-
til the effect is that of large, old
fashioned bouquet.
Use ruby-red glass on the table
You can get those sturdy Georgian
tumblers in Christmas red. and they
are cheap, too. Compotes Of the red
glass can hold white and silver can
dies. Red Jordan almonds may be used
also. There are red salts and peppers
in the shops too, and they are not ex-
