HEAD 0F AGNEW FUR SALES. SEATTLE,
 BRIEF LOCAL VISITOR

One whose name has long been familiar to Alaskans but, unless one happened to be in Seattle, never saw, was visitor in Seward yesterday enroute South following brief business trip.
 J. (Joe) E. AgneW, president of Agnew Fur Sales, Seattle.
 MT. AgneW has been so busy handling the business end that it has been almost impossible for him to form personal contacts with Alaska'S fur raisers and trappers. He had intended to tour the entire Territory by plane at this time and visit everyone trapper and fur farm possible, but it was not to be. Now that he was here weather con- ditions made the trip impossible.
 But before boarding the Ad- miral Evans today for Seattle, MT. AgneW expressed his regrets at the change of his program and will return in the not too distant fu- ture for such an extended visit.
 During the past 10 years I have had the duties and pleasure of selling, on a stictly commission basis, about $3O,OOO,OOO worth of fine furs. To give general satisfac- tion and successfully dispose of such a large volume of raw furs it has been necessary for me to learn, through years of effort, the best markets for the different sepcies and qualities. These mark cts include not only numerous sections of the United States, Can ada and England, but many coun- tries in Europe and South Ameri- ca, as well as Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
 Tn these trying times of tow prices on raw skins, it is impor- tant that no possible demand or competition be overlooked. Conse- quently, direct contacts with the worlds most important buyers are being maintained, continually re- neWed which has resulted in the positive assurance of their patron age.
 We will hold sales twice monthly, and will personally ex- anime all shipments, appraise every skin, conduct each sale. and consclentiously protect my clients interests in every respect.
 The AgneW Fur Sales are in the process and are now forming a semi cooperative plan for the inn provement in marketing furs," MT. Agnew said further stating that in the future commissions charged for the sale of furs would be re- funded to shippers in the form of preferred stock paying six to seven per cent interest.
 A well known young Alaskan is associated with MT. Agnew, at the Seattle office, Frank Franzen, or lglnally from Port Moeller where ne lived for many years and where the ground work for his fur exper- fence was laid. MT. Franzen is well known to many Seward residents

A SUBDUED GARNER.
New York Herald Tribune

New York Herald Tribune
To what fount of wisdom did Speaker Garner
go his recent trip to New York City and Albany?
He boiled with defiance of the President and
the Republican party generally during the closing
days of Congress and on his return to the Texas
sagebrush Immediately thereafter. It looked as
though his loose talk might make him the main is
sue of the campaign. There interviewed fishing
trip. Then he came North to consult Governor
Roosevelt and the party management. An assistant
was provided to accompany him and to advise him
to interpret for him the Eastern mind-during the
remainder of the campaign.
Next find him in Washington, on his way back
to Uvalde, on the banks of the Rio Grande. Does
he show any anxiety to get out on the housing to
scourge his political opponents. Quite the contrary.
He will remain quietly in Texas until "the latest
possible date" There is such thing doing too
much talking 1t might be better if he went fishing
until November. "An we have to do to win is to
make mistakes" And, as if emphasizing that
such danger occupies prominent place in his mind,
he consolingly quotes an anonymous Republican
friend expressing the belief that Roosevelt and
combined could not make enough blunders to pre-
vent our election" Anyway, he will take no more
chances.
The Speaker will not lay himself open again to
jibes such Representative Wood, of Indiana, has
hurled in his direction. He was quoted saying. II
have always done what thought was best for my
country, never varying unless was advised that
two-thirds of the Democrats were for bill and then
voted for it," Folks out my way" the impish Mr..
Wood has written, want to know if this means you
for the good of the country except when you vote
a Democrat, or do you mean that you put your
party ahead of your country or are you simply try
ing to explain why you went haywire during the last
session of Congess and if where does that leave
the Democrats?"
Incidentally, the Speaker passing on to the great
Texas silences, quietly tossed into the Potomac his
81 100000 pork barrel relief bill-the he so
strenuously advocated in the closing days of the
last session. 1t wasn't the sort of bill he would have
written had he had more time, he explained apollo
getically to the newspaper correspondents. 1t
wouldn't happen again.
But who knows how long this sudden conversion
may last?

U. S. GIRLS IN OLYMPAID

So many worlds records were broken in
the recent Olympic games in Los Angeles
that the followers of sport are still gasping
at the devastation. Outstanding among the
record-breakers were seven American girls
who won Olympic championships, setting
five new worlds records.
Besides, American girl teams won the
running and swimming relay races, in both
of which new worlds records were made. No
new worlds records were made by women
contestants of any other nation, and only
three Olympic championships were won by
women of all other countries combined
The bright particular star in this gal
axy of American girl athletes was Mildred
Babe" Didrikson, of Dallas, Texas, who was
the sensation of the Olympiad. She won the
women's javelin throw and the hurdle race,
setting new worlds record in both, and was
second in the high Jump, in which she broke
the former worlds record, and virtually tied
her successful opponent.
Miss Didrikson is perhaps the greatest
all-around woman athlete the world has ever
known. In addition to being the premier
javelin thrower and hurdler, she is star
performer in bowling, jumping, swimming,
diving, shot-putting, sprinting, rifle shooting,
basketball and baseball.
AS the Chicago Tribune said: "What a
girl She is alone in her category. The only
other human being who ever combined so
many superlatives in one physique was Jim
Thorpe"
And Babe Didrikson is only 10 years DID,
She may even surpass her recent amazing
performances in the Olympaid of 1885,

A WONDERFUL MACHINE

Human bodies are frequently referred
to as machines. In a certain sense they are
machines, but they possess properties not
usually found in machines fabricated from
inanimate materials
In the first place, the human machine,
and that of other animals as well, has the
peculiar faculty of repairing and renewing
itself if nature is given fair chance. In the
second place these living machines can func-
tion even though many of their parts are en-
tirely missing.
Just how far they may go in this re-
spect is hardly appreciated by the layman
who has not given thought to the subject.
DR.. J. F. Erdman, of New York recently gave
some information along this line by enum-
Grating few of the parts which may be
spared without destroying ones usefulness.
He reminds us that one may go about his
work minus leg. an arm, an eye, his tonsils,
appendix, gall bladder, one kidney, part of
his lungs and brain and as much as IL feet
of his intestines."
Recent developments in surgery have
made possible operations on the heart, the
entire removal of one lobe of the lungs, and
notifications Of other organs formerly
thought indispensable in their intact state.
In some cases science has been able to
fit us up with spare parts which function al
most as well as the original ones.

DULL BOYS WHO ROSE

1t is not laways the boy who gives the
brightest promise in early life who reaches
the greatest heights, as many illustrous ex-
amples may prove. In a recent lecture, Dr.
Tregold, an eminent British expert on feeble
mindedness, declared that Charles Darwin
and Sir Isaac Newton were both backward as
children, and would probably have been con-
sidered subnormal by present-day au-
thorities.
We may also be reminded that Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the great dramatist, was
characterized by his own brilliant mother as
an "impenetrable Ounce" Similar stories are
told of early dullness on the part of Sir Wal
ter Scott, Thackary, Wellington, Cromwell
and even the great Napoleon.
Our own General Grant, while always
mentally alert, was ne'er-do-well during a
part of his life and although he had perform
ed creditable service in the Mexican war, re-
signed from the army in 1854, and at the out
break of the Civil War was clerk in a store
at Galena, ILL., Yet he became the first ever
to hold the rank of full general in the Unit
ed States Army and was President eight
years.
These examples, with many others
which might be cited, should be encourag-
ing to those who may be considered below
the average during their school years.
But they do not necessarily indicate that
because youngster is a dumb-bel he is as
sured of a brilliant future.

This Hitler stuff over in Germany
I can't get the straight of it. They
are kinder like the "Facistists" but
still they are against the German
"Facistists". There seems to be
about dozen or more different
kinds of parties and they are hard
to figure out. That old man Hin
denburg must be a great old man.
He is about the sole surviving hero
of the big men in the war over
there. Hitlers main strength, if I
get it right, is that the present
generation of the Germans had
nothing to do with the big War and
they should not be made to pay.
Now there is a lot of foundation to
that. Every man ought to pay his
own debts. The only way for him
to outlaw EN- is to die. If they did
that it sure would help to discour-
age war. If countries knew that
they were no going to be paid but
just few years and then no more,
they would be mighty slow about
going out to start something.
Reading in the papers what Lord
Cecil said about aerial dissarme-
ment, I have seen the old man at
every one of these Conferences and
he is quite an authority on "Why
they don't disarm.' He made rather
a unique statement. He said, I un-
derstand there should be no bomb
ing of civilians, but that does not
eliminate aerial warfare. If bomb
ing is to continue, do not think
that civilians have any right to
claim a particular guess we ever
had thought of it in that way. War
is just to kill, so one bunch can't
ask for any more protection than
another. He said that, sit is a
great pity flying ever was invent
ed" What about the autos, they
kill more than all the wars. Their
warfare is going on all the time. A
war is started by somebody agree
ing to fight, but the old auto just
keeps on reaping em down with no
previous agreement.
But everything will be fixed this
Fall, If you just listen to what the
candidates say, in fact that about
all we are doing now is just listen
ing to what candidates say. So you
see even our minds are not work
ing.
