JOHN BARLEYCORN AWAKENS.

Old whskey for sale now, delivery after repeal, that is the mission of New York's newest exchange the American Liquor Exchange Inc. few days ago it opened for business and old John Barleycorn awakened from his 14-year sleep rubbed the cobWebs out of his eyes and recognized among old friends of the pre-Vostead such personages as Old Barbara Belle Henderson, Old Grandad Old Taylor and Old McBrayer. These and many other brands were listed on the exchanges bulletin boards. No liquor stock is carried hand just now. As starter trading is done in warehouse receipts for bonded liquor primarily rye and Bourbon whiskies No longer is the price of liquor to be learned only by stealthy inquiry into forbidden byways. Now the price is just much avowed fact as the price of spot cotton or any other commodity Whistles ranged from $33.50 to $46 per case with one we'll known brand of rye, distilled in 1914, quoted at $1O gallon
 For the ordinary individual warehouse receipt of course, withdrawal of the liquor represented must await the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment. Immediate withdrawal may be made, how ever if the buyer falls within the licensed classes including druggists.
 The exchange does not the goods it sells. It merely acts as middleman. It charges com mission of 25 cents per gallon 75 cents case, to the buyer and like charge to the seller

BAKER CHALLENGES CYNICS.

A new note, or if not new one that has not been heard in this country for long time, was sounded by Newton D. Baker, Americas great Secretary of War during the World War, and practical idealist in defending organizations and pacts for peaceful settlement of international dis putes. Not often in recent months have they had kind words spoken for them Mostly comments on internationalism have been bitterly cynical, and the trend has been scaling down of the postwar ideals generally accepted by the liberals of this and other countries
 One of the discussions on the cynical side was from the pen of Judge John Bassett Moore in Foreign Affairs quarterly some months ago He had lost faith in international movements to curb aggressive and warlike nations and argued that nationasm is the only out for the United States.
 In the next and latest number of the same journal MT. Baker argues the case anew for inter- national conciation and the peace machinery of postwar days. It is document that IS timely and ought to dspel of the pessimism about the world outlook for peace. He recalls many telling arguments for optimism in world affairs. He sets down the positive gains that have been made ln the prevention of war. He restates the services of the Briand- Kellogg Pact and the League Of Nations He is not a professional pacifist and does not argue from that angle but he upholds an enlight-

ened form of pacific endeavor that cannot but command respect.
 Bluntly challenging Judge Moore's doctrine of despair MT. Baker reaches out farther and casgates all those who take refuge in cynical refusal to risk progressive international policies.
 Significantly, he wrote
 The world is cursed by its common fears.
 It is made better by it's great faiths. The
 agencies so far devised have in them the
 seeds of growth. Lawyers with their doubts
 and statesmen with their policies may en-
 cumber this spirit and delay its achieve
 ments. Some of the steps it eagerly takes
 may have to be retracted and fresh starts
 made, but if this is ever to be a world
 in which nations, like civilized men, are gov-
 erned by moral restraints it must be fought
 for in this spirit. Those who share this
 faith and work in this hope have no apology
 to make to their future governments
 There is a potent tonic in such expressions. The public's ideals have been sorely tried in the dsillusionment of the past few years They serve to check tendencies to isolate the United States from the rest of the world, to to study policies and actions that might make it more difficult to patch the shattered fabric of international con- ciliation World statesmanshp, after all, has not been complete failure since the Versailles Treaty. It has accomplished much that is worth retention, that has proved it's serviceability in maintaining peace and avertng

.CORDOVANS TO ATTEND DANISH-AMERICANF FETE
(Cordoya Times)

(COrQOVa IlmSS)
 The adventure that many dream about but comparatively few ac- ccmplish is being consummated this week by Peter Buhl and his fam fly of Cordova when they leave on the Alaska on the start of long journey which will carry them to MT. Buhrs old home in Ribe, Denmark, for visit of nearly a year with relatives. MT Buhls three Cordova-born children, Rita, seven, Ann, five, and Roy, two, will be the pride and joy of the "old country relatives" who have never seen their northern-reared niecss and nephews.
 A very interesting part of MT. BuhIs visit in Denmark will be Q trip to a famous National park in Jutland where a unique monu- ment to Danish-American good- will is being erected in the form of a large log cabin built from logs from each state in the union which are donated by Americans of Danish origin Through the eff forts of MT. Buhl, Earl Jacobsen and F. A. Hanson, of Cordova, the of Alaska will be rep resented in the completed building by three yellow cedar logs twelve feet long shipped to Denmark for that purpose.

Adventure Revived.
(Daily Olympian.)

One of the strongest of all the habits possessed by the modern American seems to be his habit or holding reunions Apparently there is something about the bonds which forged when men unite in common that the years do not weaken very much And of all the reunions of the year. the most interesting must surely have been that of the International Sourdough Association held recently in Los Angeles.
 This outfit is composed of men who went to Alaska in the great gold rush of '98 Its members not, in all cases, wealthy; for every man who struck it rich in the Klondike, and back with a fortune, there thousands who got nothing but experience for their pains. But that, perhaps is precisely why these find annual reunions worth their while.
 reunion of this sort celebrates the sharing of great experience The who attend it are men who set apart from the rest of us by virtue of their having participated in something so stirring and exciting that they find it worth talking about all the rest of their lives. And the value of that experience is the same whether they got rich or not.
 As matter of fact, it is a question whether the typical gold-rush ever in the bottom of his heart really cared very much about getting a lot of gold He thought he did, of course; he said he did, and he acted if he did
 But the common sharing of mad desire to get rich quick would not be enough to bring hun dreds of together each year in a great re- union If it did would witness annual conven- tions of the veterans of the bull market of 1929.
 No, the gold-seekers of Alaska like the men who opened up South Africa, California, Australia and the rest of the gold fields, were really after something else Life suddenly gave them the chance to step outside of the ordinary routine, the chance to try out a horizon and enter new world They found that curious something which we call Adventure; they found excitement, danger and a kind of freedom that most of us will never know
 Once upon time the earth opened up for them and took on a guise stay-at-homes never saw It made them rich in experience, if not in purse.

2n YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
OCTOBER 9, 1913

There was a possibility of a foot ball game within the week. Rumor persisted that the town and male members of the high school faculty were to play the high school team. Prof Enoch Perkins was expected to be the star of the pedagogues as he played the previous year, however, the real comeback was to be Professor Green, whose football experience was all before 1901 The town members of the team were not yet known.
 The terrific storm that had been raging at Nome had subSided and the condition was not expected to get worse. However, messages from the ravaged town said that losses were fully as high as had been re- ported, many losing everything they had, including homes. The Juneau Fire Department wired $10210 col lected at it's smoker, to the Nome Fire Department.
 The New York Giants won the second game of the world series from the Philadelphia Athletics with score of to 0. For nine innings both teams had stood score less and the Giants made their rally in the tenth inning. Mathew son pitched for the New York team and Plank for the Athletics.
 Ladies of the Catholic Church met in the parlor of St. Ann's Hos pital and elected officers for the Altar Society for the coming year. Elected were Mrs. Katherine Me Kama, President; Mrs. P s. Early, Vice. President; Mrs. Julia Turner, Mrs. Henry Shattuck, Mrs. James Chapados, Purchasing Committee; Mrs, w. Geddes, Mrs. E. Valentine, Visiting Committee.
 The large auditorium of the Elks' Hall was filled to capacity for the Juneau Fire Department Smoker, with many attending from the other side of Gatsineau Channel. An excellent program was given and everyone had good time with plenty to eat-and drink, and also something to burn. It was pro nounced a fine smoker.

THE LITTLE FELLOW" DOES HIS
PART

One of the things the National Recov-
cry Act seems destined TO do is make a
straight-out test of the comparative de-
grees of social responsibility and public
spirit possessed by small industries and
large ones.
So far, ii must be admitted that most
of the palms have been won by the little
fellows
Speaking generally. it is the little fell
low who has shown the greater readiness
to sign up under the blue eagle. Drive
down any business street you like, in big
city or in small town, and you will see
that heartening banner prominently dis
played in the windows of small shops.
little restaurants, tiny garages and small
scale manufacturing establishments. The
little business man has come forward
with a gratifying promptness-and, for
the most part. he has been scrupulous III
living up to the terms of his agreement.
Unfortunately, not quite as much can
be said for the big fellow.
This is not said to take anything away
from those giant concerns which have
already got into line with NRA policies.
Many have done SO, and their action has
been in the highest degree praiseworthy.
But many of them, unfortunately, have
not; and the headaches suffered by NRA
officials at Washington have arisen
chiefly because some of the biggest in
dustries in the land have shown them
selves surprisingly stiffnecked about it.
Now it hasn't been an easy thing for
the little fellow to get his blue eagle. In
many cases it is more of a sacrifice for
him to raise wages and shorten working
hours than it is for the big fellow, for
the simple reason that labor costs are
proportionately larger on his budget
than they are on the big fellows.
The chap who runs, for instance,
corner shoe repair shop, and boosts the
number of workers from two to three
under the NRA code, is quite likely to
have to operate at loss for time; and
if he does the money must come right out
of his own pocket, and not out of pile
of cash reserves tucked away in some
bank.
Yet it is the little fellow who seems to
be leading the way right now. He hasn't
talked Indignantly about constitutional

Valley Man Sets
Milking Record

What is believed to De a record
for continuous service is claimed
by E. D. SeVert who operates a
dairy OH the Hancock ranch about
two miles west of Holtville.
ScVert dropped in The Press
office this morning and stated that
he has MIXED twice day, con-
tinuously, for 1887 days without
missing once. This record was
started on May 7, 1928. and was
broken by illness on August 26
of this year. During this period he
was not out of the valley or away
from his dairy for more than eight
hours at a time.
In August of this year his herd
gave $4,000 pounds of milk, SeVert
stated and he looks forward to
greater records both as to the milk
production of his COWS and also
his own ability to stay with the
job.

DEPREssION,s EFFECT on CHILDREN

One of the most unfortunate conSe-
quences of the depression is now becom-
ing apparent in measurable degree-itS
adverse effect on the health of children
Not so long ago the country was being
assured that public health was better
than it was in the days before the ques-
ion of where to get food became a prob
lem for millions of persons. Many
doubted these optimistic statements, but
figures were offered to support them.
Now we are being told a different
story. The children's bureau of the de-
partment of labor finds that one-fifth of
the nations children are "below par, and
the depression is directly blamed for this
condition.
Material has been collected over pc
riod of two years, and the conclusion Is
reached that one child in five of pre-
school and school age is suffering from
the effects of poor nutrition, inadequate
housing, or lack of medical care. In many
instances anxiety and the feeling of
worry, where there was no work, have
also left marks.
Naturally localities where conditions
have been more favorable and where re-
lief measures have been adequate make
the best showing. In other localities the
proportion of children below par has
reached truly appalling figures. And
manutrition among mothers is showing
its effects on newborn infants and nurs--
lings, although relief agencies for the
most part have been successful IN sup
plying sufficient milk for babies.
In New York City, malnutrition among
100000 school children has been in three
successive wears 16, II and 21 per cent.
The picture is not pretty one, but
consolation may be found in the TACT
that relief agencies did their best to meet
staggering responsibilities for which they
were unprepared.
