CITY OF FIVE FLAGS

The distinction of having been under
five different flags, belongs to Mobile, Ala. In
fact, it has changed flags seven times, as
brief account of its strange record will show.
Founded by d'Iberville in 1702, Mobile
was in French possession until 1853 when it
passed to England by the Treaty of Paris.
1t was taken by Spain in 1780, captured by
the United States in 1918, taken by the Eng
lish in the same year, and restored to the
United States by the Treaty of Client in
1915. 1t flew the Stars and Bars Of the Con-
federacy during the Civil War, after which
it again came under the Stars and Stripes
The Battle of Mobile Bay, on August s.,
1864, in which Admiral Farragut defeated
the Confederates, was one of the principal
naval engagements of the war, costing the

Federals 1876 men, while the Confederate
loss was 10 killed 16 wounded and 280 taken
prisoners.
Mobile was in serious financial difficult
ties during reconstruction days and lost it's
charter in 1876, when a commission was es-
tablished to liquidate it's debt of two and a
half million dollars. A new charter was OBJ
tanned in 1886. In recent years the city has
made much progress and in 1880 had popu-
lation of 68,202.
Pensacola, Fla, has also been under five
flags, its history in that respect closely par
alleling that of Mobile.

WINDOW SHOPPING

Store windows, now suggesting Christ
mas, are more than gentle hint to make
early purchases for the day of gifts, still sew
eral week in the future. Whatever the urge
in that direction may be, store windows,
Christmas dressed, are an appeal in them
selves window shopping" always an al
Turing occupation, never is quite as delight
full as it is in the days when there is an
atmosphere of expectancy the spirit of
cheerness and the glow of benevolence that
somehow work their marvels at this season
of the year. No matter how matter-of-fact
we may be II months of the year we all be-
come more or less sentimental with the ap-
preach of December and the gay windows,
the rich windows, even the plainly dressed
windows brave or sedate in their Christmas
attire, sing to us SIRENS lyric that is
challenge to pass them unheeded
And who gets the most fun from window
shopping, the juveniles or the elders? Silly
question. The more mature of course. Even
, those windows dressed especially to appeal
to the children are so crowded with adults at
times that poor youngster has little chance
of seeing what therein is. These, of course,
are the more shameless glorying in their
shame. Others who envy them their brazen-
ness pick up youngster some place, and
push to the front, thinking, like man who
takes kiddie to circus he wants to see
himself, that he has acquired merit. What
foolishness. How much more honest he
would be if one such would just acknowledge
to himself that he hungers to see the window
show and to justify himself with the refiec-
ton that there will be plenty of time for
children to see such spectacles after they
grow up. Yes, we oldsters have not too many
Christmas fetes ahead of us, so we hasten to
take advantage of what opportunities we
have.
What is the impelling motive? Memory,
the treasury of all that is hallowed and dear
and cherished. We will see Alice again
Alice from Wonderland. If the display is
nothing but leather goods, Alice will be there
amidst the wares and her message will be of
"shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cab
bages and kings" Kings of fairyland and
nowhereland and everywhereland. Kings of
the wintry day and glowing Goals and the
bullying stocking on the mantel. Kings
among whom you were monarch when you
glanced through the panes of another win
dow on Christmas morning and saw in the
frosted snow more gems than any living
king ever possessed How they glistened
and sparkled, sending their rays heaven.

No wonder we like window shopping.

REACH LIMIT OF SYMPATHY RACKET

England and France have asked this country to
give them more time to pay the interest and prnci-
pal on the money they owe President Hoover
granted those European debtors years moratorium
and they want it further extended. President
Hoover has asked Presdent-elect Roosevelt to come
to the White House to discuss the question with him
before it is referred to congress month In con-
sdering this matter it must be remembered that the
money those European nations have agreed to pay is
only small fraction of the amount they borrowed
from 1t should also be remembered that when
the war was over England, France, etc., took over
billions of dollars worth of German lands and other
property while this country took nothing. Further
more this country paid all the expense it incurred
in winning the for them, running into billions

appointment and loss through
spoilage.
AS matter of fact, the county
agent says, many new ideas in re-
gard to farm butchering and the
handling and cooking of meat have
been developed during recent years
but have been largely overlooked.
During the more prosperous times
many farm families felt it was cas-
Ter to buy their meat, especially for
summer use, than to bother with
the killing and curing of it. On the
other hand, many families who
have continued butchering will
welcome the newer, simpler, and
better methods that have been de-
vised. ?
Because of the interest shown
and the advantages to be gained
from familiarity with the new
things in meat, the county agent
is considering putting on county
wide program to bring the facts to
formers throughout the county. He
will discuss the problems with
leaders from the various communi-
ties, and will also enlist the aid of
the State Agricultural Extension
Service at University Farm. He
expects to announce plans within
the next two weeks.
Anyone interested in securing a
demonstration of this kind should
get in touch with the county
agents office at St. Cloud.

THE MAGIC OF SANTA

Whether by instinct, premonition, trag
ic experience or perennial anticipation one is
always forewarned of the approach of
Christmas, and, though the exact number of
days remaining may not come instantly to
mind, there is none who does not know that
it is only month in the offing as the time
flies.
There is evidence that those for whom
Christmas is an expense see the giftgiving
holiday from afar off for different reason
than do those for whom it is treat. New
ertheless one trip alone or with the faithful
neophytes of the Santa Claus cult makes a
philanthropist of miser. Especially is this
latter so of this Christmas shopping season.
If there is one place where there is al
ways something new under the sun it is in
Santa Claus toy shop at this time of the
year. Many of the 1882 creations of Old
Kris Kringle are decidedly new.
Picture the thrills the youngsters will
derive from airplanes that really fly, sub
marines that actually cruise under water,
parachute jumpers, miniature Leviathans
driven through the water by twin screws, re-
frigerators that hold real ice, stoves that
cook, Charlestoning dolls and automobiles
more fully equipped than dads.
There is cause for rejoicing among the
nationally conscious in the department of
commerce figures showing that more Made
in-America and fewer foreign made toys are
on the American toy market this year.

JAPANESE OPERATES H0OCH
 PLANT INSIDE HOLLOW TREE

PRINCE RUPERT, B.C-A Jap anese named M. Tateyama, was ar rested at Sunnyside by provincial police officers, on the charge of having a still, yesterday. They seiz- ed 120 gallons of mash, in a hollow tree back in the brush. An old trail led to this tree, and even beyond it, but so neatly had any suggestion of a still been disguised that it was quite possible to pass the tree with out suspecting there was firewater, in the making inside of it.
 Tateyama lives in Sunnyside. In his house, the officers found certain articles regarded as useful in the running of a still. These included a gasoline stove, which had been packed to the tree, and after being used in distilling operations, carried back to the house. In this way, ac- cording to the police, no smoke could be detected coming from the woods.
 Officers say liquor has been sold to natives at $4 per bottle.

Summer Protection of
 Anan Bears Urged

Jack Pratt came into town the first of the week from Anan Creek where he has spent the summer at homesite which he took up early in the year.
 He reports that Anan is attract ing the attention of yachting and outing parties and predicts that next summer will see a big increase in the number of pleasure craft stopping there.
 Stewart Edward White, noted author who spent the summer in southeast Alaska waters with Mrs. White and friends aboard the yacht kuru, particularly, is interested in Anan, and is endeavoring to have it set aside as a bear sanctuary just for the summer months, says Pratt. The big attraction at Anan is the bears that may be observed at close range fishing in the creek. A walk built for the use of U. S. Bureau of Fisheries employees at the weir, leads from the beach to a point above the falls. Nowhere else in the world, it is claimed is there a spot where one can step off a board walk and view wild bear in their native habitat. It is not un- usual to see nine or ten bears at a time. The creek is bordered by the luxuriant semi-tropical vegetation of this region and without other attractions, such as the bears and the fine lake trout fishing, the creek and falls are so beautiful as to war rant visit, and the bears add an unusual and fascinating note.
 Unfortunately, many visitors can not resist shooting at the bears, which, Pratt says, is about as much sport as shooting a friendly dog. The animals are not ferocious nor particularly large, and in the sum mer their fur is unprime. Yacht parties nevertheless, shoot at the bears, which frightens them so that the next party of visitors at Anan is apt not to glimpse a single bear
 A number of Wrangell men who are in accord with MT. White, have stated that they will support him in his effort to preserve this touch of wild life, and it is expected that the project will have the support of civic organizations.

 The Governor spent few days at Fairbanks and he reported condi- tions there good with water plenti- ful for mining operations. The only water shortage was reported from the Livengood district The work on the new Federal building at Fair banks was progressing satisfactor- fly, work on the interior having been begun
 Governor Parks spent a couple of days at Cordova on his way home and bad an enjoyable as we'll as successful hunt on the Copper River flats. He was absent from Juneau for about three weeks.

HOOVER CALLS ON NATION TO MAKE
 SACRIFICES TO PREVENT DISTRESS

WASHINGTON - President Hoo yer called upon the nation yesterday to make sacrifices to prevent dis tress in what he anticipates will be worse than last winter of depression. The President thus set in motion a gigantic relief movement whose objective. he announced to leaders assembled here is ito see that no man, woman or child shall go hun gry or unsheltered through the ap- preaching winter" Hope for busi- ness recovery was manifest in ad- dresses of the President and others at a Welfare and Mobilization Re- lief Conference. They warned that the relief problem, probably will be greatest because of accumulated economic weight of depression and the dwindling of private resources. This is, I trust, the last winter of this great calamity" said President Hoover, .'Yet despite a maturing hope upon the horizon, individual needs in the meantime may be greater than ever before. Despite these gigantic efforts of direct and indirect relief, we must not fail to
