When the steamship Jeffer- son, of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet, docked at the Hyder wharf on the morning of January 2, it marked a new epoch in the commercial life of this coming mining metropolis of Alaska. The Jefferson was the first ocean-going ship to tie up at the new dock and the first to make a direct trip from Seattle, to Hyder, hence the visit is historical. On this init ial trip the vessel brought 55 tons of freight, including a compressor for the American Mining and Milling Co.,, and 4 tons of dynamite for the River side property, in addition to two passengers, J. w. Frame Jr. and M. Drobbe.

The Midget Emporium, op- erated by H. H. Howard, has been incorporated with cap italization of $100,000 divided into 10000 shares of $10 each.
 The incorporators are Helen Howard, John J. Peters and H. H. Howard.
 The Midget Emporium has had an interesting career. Es- tablished in the fall of 1919 by Edgar Harris under the name of the up To Date Store" it as- pired to handle nothing but a line of candies, patent medi- -cines and knick-knacs. It was purchased in March, 1920 by MT. Howard, who changed the name to the one it now bears.

BURNS AND SCALDS ARE
HOME ACCIDENT CAUSES
[COntiuaed from FhH Pagel

lContiHaed from FirJf Page]
stoves some times results in serious
burns. Most accidents, of this kind
may be prevented by placing uten-
sils and handles out of children's
reach.
The danger from CRATE fires is re-
duced by the use of protective
screens. Not only are the flying
sparks arrested but personal con-
tact with flames or heated fixtures
also is avoided. Quite often fatal ac-
cidents occur when children play
unsupervised near open flames.
Teaching children to avoid stoves,
fireplaces and bonfires helps over
come such accident possibilities.
Numerous injuries occur in homes
through carelessness in handling
tools, cutlery and other articles hay
ing sharp or jagged edges. Many of
these injuries affect children who
disregard or do not know the dang
erous nature Of these objects. Small
scissors with blunt edges are consid-
cred far safer for the use of children
than those with long, pointed blades.
Bottles, sharp knives and pointed
tools should be excluded from chill
6ren's play and instruction given re-
earding the danger of running with
sharp or pointed objects or placing
them in the mouth. Broken glass,
cans with jagged edges, discarded
razor blades and similar materials
placed with ordinary household
waste frequently causes serious in
juries. Appropriate containers or
other means for the safe disposal of
such materials are important. In
juries frequently result from the use
of improper, worn or make-shift
tools or the use of tools for unin-
tended purposes. Pins and needles
placed on chairs or other pieces of
furniture unnoticed, tacks, nails
and splinters protruding from
boards often cause puncture wounds
which. if neglected, frequently be-
come infected.

EMPLOYERS ARE URGED
TO USE NEW SERVICE
[Continued from Firm Pagel

lCOHtiHEed from FrH Page]
ployment Office, of Sussex county,
at the end of the fourth week of op-
Grafton of the office on Saturday,
September 30, when the last fig
ures were made available. Indica-
tions are, with the closing of the
tomato season and with the end OF
the farm harvest season, that the
number of new registrations in the
county will at least equal the num-
ber already taken. Much of this la
Dor, which normally has been pro-
vided for through the winter
months by the combined bounty of
titled acres, and reasonably well
paid seasonal labor, or by private
activities of various kinds, will no
doubt seek subsistence this winter
from the variously originated, spe-
cial labor projects in the county.
Private employers, however, will
still bear the burden of employing
greater number.
Men and women with a wide va
riety of ability and experience are
registered. People whose need for
work varies from that of being out
of employment, but not in immedi-
ate distress, to that of being unem-
ployed and in acute distress, seek
work. A marked willingness of the
applicants to adapt themselves to
new kinds of employment within the
possibilities of their physical. or
training abilities is strongly evident.
A number of highly skilled workmen
with long and excellent employment
records are now resident in Sussex
county and are applicants for work.
The private residential and indus
trial employer has available COM
mand of more and better qualified
help than at any time in his exper-
ience. Without going out of the
county for assistance it should be
possible to plan and execute almost
any project with the natural saving
that such local supply of help
Many of these men are well
qualified for skilled work but are alb
solutely unfit for hard labor such as
at present is made available in some
on the Federal-Aid Highway
work.
A big employment problem in the |
county is the great number of !
youths just out of public school or |
college. Private employers might |
find it worth while to look over this
list.
1t is hardly expected that the en-
ployer, large or small, shall employ
additional help to the extent of
his business. But that
some more men might be profitably
employed "for the long pull" is ad-
Vanced as a reasonable assumption.
The unemployment office, in any
case, can supply employees for al
most any employer requirement.
The employer can have at his COM
nand, at no cost, and with virtual
y no effort, record of the quail
ications of more people than he
could personally contact, at any
cost, within a month.

| He said he did not wish to inter-
fere in any way with the work of the
veterinarians, that his only idea was
to help the farmers who had been
so hard hit from losing their stock.
Mr.. Handy assisted DR.. James r.

up on the acute cases, and in every
instance, he said, he was satisfied
that it had been traced to mouldy

Gently to try his hand and advised
some friends in regard TO treating
their sick horses.
Mr.. Hanby's treatment has now
been largely used throughout this
section and while there have been
some failures, it has had, according
to statements of farmers, great sue
cess.
. Mr.. Handy is kept busy day and
night giving his treatment and per-
sonally visiting many sick horses.
Sunday, automobiles from many
parts of Delaware and quite a few
from Maryland could be seen at the
preachers residence in Houston,
where owners of horses which had
been taken i'll had gone to get the
treatment.
He said that old corn had been
found to be from one-third to one
half affected, and a great deal of
the new ccrn was also. He said the
mould did not show from the surface
but was next to the cob.
In barns that had been visited hay
was found to be moulded three feet
in from sidewalks. He said this con-
dition was no doubt due to the ex-
cessive amount of moisture in the
air. When asked the nature of the
disease, Mr.. Handy said in his opin-
ion it was cerebro spinal meningitis
caused by faulty feed, and he had
been treating them along these
lines. .
The disease has been especially
rampant in Milford Neck. Here the
disease has taken such a toll that
farmers are compelled to pool their
resources to plow ground for wheat.
and then full acreages are not being
sown.
Where they are financially able,
farmers are hiring tractors to do
the work, and where they are not,
horses and mules are being loaned
around in the neighborhood.

INDUSTRY ADVISED TO
OFFER GOOD GOODS
[COntinned from First Pagel

L0OHftnhtd JfOm EAat dHCl
said General Johnson, 1--WE believe
the opportune moment is at hand
for American industry to bend every
effort toward increased sales. To do
that we believe two courses are es-
sential: Give the public attractive,
durable, up-to-date merchandise,
fairly priced, and aggressively pro-
mote your products to the public.
American industry must help the
public to find the goods it needs.
The American public looks to adver-
tising for news of good merchandise
and good values. Millions have been
restored to pay rolls and this huge
new purchasing power creates new
demands. Restoration of confidence
should be- quickened by showing the
consumer that he can save money
by buying now"
There has been formulated a plan
of advertising dealing with specific
key commodities. Portfolios con-
tanning factual informative mes
sages to the public, prepared by ad-
vertising experts who donated their
services to the NRA, have been dis
tributed to manufacturers and ad-
vertisers.
A national card advertising cam
paign in both rail and bus lines is
in preparation. The full force of the
local transportation industry, carry
ing between 35,000,000 and 60,000,0O0
riders daily, was enlisted in the
NRA's "Now is the Time to Buy
campaign, and the space contributed
by resolution of the American Tran
sit Association at a recent conven-
tion in Chicago. Evidence of increas-
ed business attributed to NRA was
noted in the associations report for
August.
The Governments role in the buy
ing campaign is outlined in a letter
to local committees as purely direc-
tional and educational. The cam
paign is financed entirely by indus
tries and merchants locally.
