Two Important
Community Services

FOR MORE than twenty-five years the
q Summersett organization has rendered
two important community services to the peo-
pie of this vicinity.
With a fine, homelike establishment, the
most up-to-date equipment to be had, and a
thoroughly trained and experienced personnel,
Summersett Funeral Service is equal to the fin
est Offered anywhere. Due, however, to the
great preference shown for Summersett Ser
vice, overhead costs are at a minimum and
charges are most reasonable. This partially
explains why Summersett Funeral Service is
efficiently rendered anywhere in Rowan
County at prices to meet the approval of peo-
pie in all circumstances.
The people of Salisbury and vicinity have
also long been accustomed to depending upon
Summersett Ambulance Service for the trans
portation of the sick and injured. The car
used in this connection is exclusively an am
bulance, never being employed for any other
purpose. The attendants, 7. w. Summersett,
Jr. and C. M. Troutman, have both had spe-
cial training in the handling of the sick and
injured. The Summersett Ambulance answers
all calls within a ten or fifteen mile radius of
Salisbury for a very reasonable charge.

WITHDRAWS FROM RACE

Miss Carrie D. Rothrock, of Rock
we'll, who announced some weeks ago
for the office of the register of deeds
of Rowan county, has withdrawn from
the race for that office.
Reason for Miss Rothrock's with
drawal is attributed to the fact that
she has accepted the position of prin-
cipal of a school for the coming year.

It is announced that Judge Cecil Clegg of Anchorage will be appointed as judge of the dis trict court at Fairbanks and Judge E. Coke Hill of Fairbanks Will be appointed as judge at Anchorage. Which arrangement satisfied both Divisions.
 John Rustgard, Attorney Gen. eral for Alaska, it is stated has been designated as material for judgeship at Nome but report coming this way from Juneau indicate that he would not ac- cept the appointment if offered him. He was, through friends, actively working to secure ap- pointment as judge at Anchor age.
 District Attorney Howard D. Stabler' has been an active can d1date for appointment as judge of the Third Division and did find some support to have his name considered by the Depart rnent of Justice. But the depart ment cid not consider him suf- ficiently weighty material fol such a responsible position.
 Lester Gore of Ketchikan is said to be in favor with the De- rartment o fJustice and it * possible that they might namt him-if he would accept-a! judge of Nome. All any attorne! need to do these days in Alaska is talk Republican and vote De. r1ocrat and they are in line fo political favor.

Women Fight For
 Primary Law

Women of Alaska, far off out post of Uncle Sam's domain, are mobilizing their forces to de- feat an attempt to repeal the Territorial Primary Law and gc back to the old "boSs- ridden convention system of nominat- ling candidates.
 An Alaska Women's Primary Law Club" has been formed for the purpose of opposing all le- gislative candidates who favor repeal of the primary law. Eleven members of the legisla- ture voted for the repeal at the last session, and the club is dis tributing list of their names with a request for the women to tie the roster ito your powder puff so you can read 1t every time you powder your nose"
 According to Lillian Willis. secretary of the club, Federal officials who are appointed by the administration at Wash ington are back of the repeal movement.
 They have already usurped most of the rights granted the people of the Territory under the Organic act" she says, "and are now trying to create con- dition so that officials can be hand picked to administer Ter 1itorial affairs.
 Repeal of the primary law would virtually disfranchise tha Women. At the last primary election more than 2,OOO women voted. Under the convention system probably not more than two or three women would have a voice in the nominations, and they would be used as a kind of snoke-screen to cover up the real purpose of the political bosses.

 Reports from the Rake dis trict, Keku Islets, not so good. v. A. Paine says that the ranch CTS in that section have had 8 very poor year, due to casualties n stock and low prices. Some of the operators are having hard time managing to get their own food supplies let alone food stock for the animals.
 In the Klawock district sev- eral operators have thrown up the sponge and wiped out their stock at a loss.
 Alleges Stock Stolen
 Pete Behrs is much incensed over the loss of a considerable number of young foxes which disappeared during the latter part of August. He had removed ti1e half-grown fox pups from the breeding island to another where he kept only the young foxes. He fed them faithfully each day, but happened to miss a day. When he resumed feed ing he immediately noticed 3 large number of the young ani-

mals missing and thereup0n made diligent search. He found only one dead animal on the island and has been satisfied that some one came along U add to their stock at his ex- pense.
 He very emphatically denies that this could have been done by any Indian or white trapper or troller. That these eOpie have always called at his island visited with him and went on their way without molesting his stock. He feels certain, that the manner in which tho young foxes disappeared that it was taken by some fox farmer to either stock up new islands or to add to a depleted or run down stock.
 Because of his previous report that foxes had been stolen from his island, Pete says that nct raany of his trapper friends have called on him this winte- land he wishes them to under stand that he does not believe any of them guilty of trying 10 benefit at his expense. He says that if those helping themselves 70 his stock have benefited, ne is glad for he too has benefited as in the future he will be so protected that he can identify his animals whether dead or alive. And any further "pirating' of his animals will bring tpa matter before the juries and it will not be so easy on the per- petrator.

They will make monthly reports to the Alaska Chamber of Commerce for com pilation and publication with the view of distributing in vari- ous quarters as information tC ether industrial and commercial interests outside of the territory and for use of citizens desiring 10 come to Alaska.
 MT. Dinner again took up the matter of conservation of her ring and the Club adopted a resolution authorizing repre- sentatives of the several Clubs m Alaska getting together to compile information and data relative to the herring industry. This is to be done with the idea of preventing the complete de- struction of the herring fisheries by the reduction plants which has depleted most of the herring fishery areas in Southeastern Alaska. The resolution adopted by the representatives will be presented to the several Clubs for their endorsement.
 Fred Nelson and T. s. Else more reported favorably on a referendum-nat Chamber of Commerce-which dealt with tax matters. The Club followed their recommendation.
 Dr. J. N. Rude gave an inter esting talk to the Club relating his experiences and observations during his recent trip to Mime sota where he visited relatives in his old home town He declar- ed that commercial indications were very quiet but there was a seeming effort to be optimistic.

Kodak Manufacturer
 Commits Suicide

Last Monday, the entire world was shocked when bulletins flashed out from Rochester, Ne Y York, home of the Kodak that George Eastman had committed suicide by shooting himself with a gun. Eastman was seventy-six years of age and one of the great philanthropiSts of the world having distributed through vari : ous agencies for education and ether things, over ninety mil lion dollars. He was chairman of the Eastman Kodak Company, a two hundred million dollar corporation.
 His last message to his friends written explanatory of his act was: "To my Friends: My work is done. Why wait"
 Photography which was in use since the early 1800's made but little progress until George Eastman became interested and through many experiments in- vented the transparent film in 1888. Tirelessly he continued his studies and experiments until the camera of today was devel- cped. He patented the term Kodak" which is synonymous with pictures today the world ever.
 Kindly generous, George East man gave without stint tc schools and colleges and eacl7 year personally took care of the educational expenses of a group Of young men who had prover to him their worth.
 His work was done.

 Father Hubbard impresses one as a mighty fine man, submers- ing his priestly robe when meet ing other men so that they think of him not as a priest but as a real man with a character lovable by all classes and re- pecting others even as they re-, spect him.
 May his efforts be crowned with success and may he return from his explorations which will be extremely dangerous and which will try the strength Of himself and companions, is the wish of all Alaskans.

 However, he added, Eff the a. gents do not go after the petty violators the cry is raised that they are protecting them. On the ether hand, if they put a lot of time on the petty cases they cannot go after the sources Of supply. These men should use their time on nothing but cut ting off the sources of supply. They can't possibly accomplish anything by working on the speakeasies and hip pocket bcotleggers."
