Our Autumn butterflies are phe-

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

You're increasing all the time;
Underneath the gardeners eye
Constantly you multiply.
Farmers seek, but seek in vain.
From your Jaws to save their grain;
Doctors speak in bitter terms
OF the fast-increasing germs
Which are wickedly employed
And can never be destroyed.
Man can reason, man can plan,
Great in most respects is man,
But you creatures, dense and dumb,
Promise in the days to come
To monopolize the girth
OF this once so pleasant earth.
What must be. of course, must be,
But 1t isn't right to me.

Dusting Books.

You can save yourself the trouble of
taking down whole rows of books from
open shelves for busting by using a
small vacuum cleaner or bellows on
them. If the books are tightly packed,
just take out one or two so that YOU
can move the rest along the shelf
as you use the vacuum or bellows.
In this way you will be reasonably
certain Of removing all dust.

How 1t Started

BY JEAN NEWTON,

Bad Ending.
Let us hope it is not always strictly
true that "a bad beginning makes q
bad ending" For we make many bad
beginnings that We hope to make turn
out good endings. However. it is Ger
tainly true that bad beginning is a
very definite handicap, stacking against
us the odds for q good ending.
The very definite saying with which
we express that thought, "A bad be-
ginning makes a bad ending" is Of
ancient origin. Its author was the
great 7dramstist Euripides, who lived In
"Aeolus' that We find the origin Of this
saying.

Mayors Welcome
To Captain c. J. Rowcliff, Commander; his fellow officers; and crews of Destroyer Squadron Four, now visiting Seward.
Gentlemen:

In behalf of the citizens of Seward and the many visitors who have come here to see you, vel you with sincerity and wish to make your stay here as pleasant as possible
 Isolated as we are at present, from naval cen ters and great sea routes we nevertheless believe ourselves to be more than average in Patriotism and pride in our Navy. There isn't man, woman, or child here whose breast does not swell with pride at the sight of our Naval vessels and their officers and men.
 Alaska has shoreline of something like 10000 miles on the southern side, and we can't help but feel neglected at having an average of about one small vessel of the Navy visit us year. It is with justifiable jealousy that we view hundred Naval vessels visiting the Territory of Hawaii and one small one only up here. We hope, however, that under the New Deal" your visit is the forerunner of regular yearly cruises of at least part of our Fleet
 Alaska aligns itself with those who believe the greatest assurance of peace is to be had from Navy kept up to it's full strength and efficencv AL askans believe that the battle ground of future possible will be coasthne and that it is the part of wisdom for the Navy to familiarize them selves with these waters
 But enough of complaints as we wish to forget everything but the delight of your visit and the pleasure of making you feel at home.
 The g orious record the Navy has in the history of our countrywide high plane of honor and efficiency upon which it functions-the fine personality and splendid physique of it's men-make proud to claim for Alaskans closer relationship than you will find in an equal number of persons any place in the States That claim is based on the similarity of motives. Men join the Navy because of desire for adventure; for patriotic pride; to see distant and new countries; to get away from the ordinary walks of life, unafraid of a change. Men, and women, came to Alaska in the desire to escape the grinding competition and monotony of the States; to see country to find adventure; to conquer wilderness. And so believe both off cers and men will find greater friendiness in our people by reason of this ldnship.
 Because of its wonderful harbor and being the Railroad Gateway to the great Interior, Seward hopes to have the Navy establish a permanent base here either or both of ships and aircraft. Then we would have the pleasure of continuous association instead of brief and rare visit like the present one of day.
 So close this Open Letter of Welcome with the repeated wish that you will enjoy every mo- ment while here, and that you carry away pleasant memories and wish to return soon.
