FIRST NEWSPAPER ISSUED, MATANUSKA;
 IS MIMEOGRAPHED

The first issue of the Matanuska Valley Pioneer, mimeographed bull letin of the Government colony at MatanuSka, reached Juneau via the steamer Alaska.
 Edited by Jack Altman, and pub lished weekly at Palmer, Alaska, the Pioneer hopes to condense, figuratively, the hundred and twen- ty miles covered by the project, and to bring closer together the borderc olonists, some of whom are almost fifteen miles apart" The paper is Government project and will be furnished free to all colon ists. NIT. Allman's. editorship is part of his regular work in the Govern ment employ in Palmer.
 Mark Twain once said that no town ever tok on the stature of city until it had a newspaper and it's inhabitants had enough trouble to fill the columns says the initial editorial. 'The position of the Pioneer is unique in that in it's 100 per cent circulation of the valley it predates the telephone or any established transportation facilities which might fill the need of a news distributing gency Through it's columns you will be kept informed of all that is going on in the colony.
 Progress of the work, both at the Community Center and on the individual tracts, will be reported Social activities will be announced and such services as the trading post, hospital news and fishing and berrying information vii be regular features. There will be local cor respondents at each camp to keep us informed of the activities in the various communities.
 The first issue, dated August g contains a story of the Rogers Post disaster; an assurance by Col Hunt that homes will be furnished by snowfall and several interest

all, spirit in which youth can find fulfillment of it's ideals
 The Tories of Washington's days those who still thought England was supreme and were willing to knuckle down to taxation without rep resentaton" rather than change. Today they are the same old Tories" cnly in a different dress In political they are the ultra conservatives so warped in the theory that their works devne that they oppose anything and everything on the conceted premise that anything they do cannot be improved upon They would rather see millions starve than make which would indicate that their theories not holy.
 It was at these outlaws of the common good that the President aimed when he called upon youth to take it's rightful place and participate in the decisions known to give strength and spirit and continuity to Government and national life
 Backward there is stagnation and decay; forward with youth and new ideas properly nourished and encouraged there is more enlightened and pow erful Republic.

I'VE WANT NO WAR;

Many acts of the Congress just ended may be open to argument but there is piece of legsla- ton it need not worry about That is the neutrality bill There will be no dissenters when it comes to keeping this country out of war, unless it be some profteerng hangovers from the last conflict whose idea of patriotism is making money out of human blood.
 The old veteran from Arkansas, Joe Robinson, Senate leader, echoes the sentiment of the American people when he said:
 We want no We want wealth
 gained by We want peace. We do
 not propose to go to war to settle European
 policies
 If the Congress to in January and our high officials will keep that motto before them when pressure is brought to bear to drag into some fracas where we have business some of the excuses for war will be little easier discounted
 The neutrality bill which places an embargo against shipments of to belligerent nations is a step in the right direction and if enforced to the letter will eliminate one of the main causes for dragging us into armed clash In addition to extending the act, which only runs for six months it would be an excellent idea to attach rider on the law automatically putting the boys who violate the embargo in the front line trenches in case of war. The best spot to lose enthusiasm for warfare is the receiving end of a good sized cannon.

Recommends Diet of Meat.
(Fort Worth star-Telegram.)


 Those misguided persons who refrain from eat ing meat, on the theory that meat is not good for them are addressed in a special bulletin of the Kansas State Colleges department of animal hus- bandry. Prof c. w McCampbell, dean of the de- partment, proves not only that meat is not bad for anybody, but that it is the most valuable food we have.
 Dr. McCampbell has lot of medical authority for his statements. One such recently pointed out that the northern Eskimo who has nothing but meat to eat has such ailnent as high blood pressure, while the southern Eskimo who, because of his contact with civilization, has sugar, flour, dried fruits and other civilized foods" does have high blood pressure.
 Dr Leo K. Campbell of Ruth Medical College asserts that lean meat is Of great value in a re- ducng diet, helping to lower weight normally with out discomfort, aiding in the loss of body fat. He also points out that meats are cheaper than any other kind of food, when their nutritve value is considered
 For genuine satisfaction to the appetite robust or finicky, nothing beat a good cut of beef. And the appetite, after all, is the best food guide

MT. Insults Pensions.
lSt Louis Star-Times.

(St. Louis Star -Tmes)
 Directors of four large utilities promoted by Samuel Insul have voted to restore his aggregate pension of $21 900 year The action is based, pre- sumably on the fact that MT Insull was acquitted of any technical violation of the law, although ne violated almost every principle of sound business and finance in building up his utility pyramids. Since he is voted $33,O00 pension arrears, money withheld by the directors vote pending his arrest and trial the inference is that MT. Insults flight from arrest, and his putting the Government to great exepnse and trouble to bring him back, were not censurable.
 The incident is typical of certain type of big business administration At time when business of the standing of these four boards of directors are demanding vociferously that MT Roosevelt keep strictly within the law and the Constitution, they vote fine reward for the man who flouted the law by running away At time when the utllty interests everywhere denouncing Government interference with their business they vote prince ly annuity to whose business conduct, more than any single feature, started the Congresslonal effort to put the utility business under better control.

A Prophecy Near Fulfillment.
(Toledo Blade


 Two hundred years ago Samuel Johnson wrote of flying and forecast with almost uncanny accuracy what is likely to happen soon in Ethiopia, or Abyssina.
 In Johnsons tale of Rasselas, Prince of Abys- sinia Rasselas converses with philosopher who thus speaks:
 If men were all virtuous, I should with
 great alacrity teach them to fly. But what would be the security of the good if the bad
 could at pleasure invade them from the sky?
 Against an army sailing through the clouds neither walls mountains, seas could
 afford any security flight of northern
 savages might hover in the wind and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them.
 Are the Italian airplanes from the north about to fulfill this prediction of great tragedy? In any event. the story of Rasselas is specially worthy of rereading and study just now, not only on account of it's forecast of possible Italian Ethiopian war horrors but for it's fine philosophy and ethics ap- plicable to life in America
 Rasselas was read more by the past generation, but it is a classic that will live. Of Samuel John- son, its author, eminent scholar said: When once or twice in a century heaven sends man on earth to show us what manhood means cannot learn too much of him. And Samuel Johr7on was man."

YOUTH HAS ITS DAY.

In rapping the Tories of the world" whom he recently classed as those who would take us back to the horse and buggy" days President Roosevelt in addressing the Young Democratic Clubs of Amer ica called the youth of the nation to unite and challenge rules that are not necessarily sacred principles"
 In those words he re-eehoed the spirit of the patriots who fought under Washington and the spirit that has carried America on to the position it now commands In his own words: Ut is the spirit of inquiry of readjustment improvement, and above

The Village Of Fordwich, ancient
port Of Canterbury on the banks Of

still boasts a ducking stool, though
its only purpose Is to remind Ford

when pirates came ashore to raid
the rich towns Of Kent. Attached
to the rear wall of a building be-
hind the town hall Is q huge oak
beam equipped with pulley and

"Hold Everything
Pleases Public
By w. M. Smith

Hold Everything - story OF
love under great difficulties-was
the offering of the Phyllis Wheatley
Players last Monday night at the
Northside settlement house. Aside
from the delay in beginning, a
fault Of most amateur perform
ances, and the necessity of getting
voices pitched to the proper key in
the great spaces of the Phyllis
gymnasium, the play went smooth
ly and entertainingly.
Those players from whom the
public has grown to expect fin
ished performance did not disap-
point. Jessie Shepard, as the no
tel landlady, met the perplexities
of the situation with the calmness
and the aplomb life usually devel-
oped in a widow on her own. Wen
dell Jones-the banker-was the
dignified man of affairs in appear
ance and action, with a wel-tuned
voice and a perfect command of his
lines. Clarence Hughes - smooth
and adroit as the chief criminal
was more than convincing in his
portrayal of "a rat caught in a
trap" while Archie James, his
companion in crime, was the ner-
vous, less resourceful villain, ready
to smash his way to liberty, keep
ing the interest tense as each pass
ing moment he threatened violence
to any that stood in his way. The
secret service sleuth-Thomas Sto-
vall-who made life uneasy and
tormenting for these arch crini-
mails, was the cold, memorable arm
of the law that could not be es-
capped. Flossie Harris, in a role
new to this reviewer, was most
charming personalities young So
ciety Miss who breaks convention
to escape an unwelcome lover
whom fate forces her to meet and
love at last, gave very satisfac-
tory picture of present day youths
freedom. Her foil and confidential
friend - Louise Seymour - very
good to look at, very sophisticated
and very free of pertinent and en-
barrassing wisecracks, kept at all
times a cool composure that won
emphatic approval.
One of the delightful interludes
of the play was furnished by the
"Gibbs family''-Allie Glenn, talk
ative, ambitious mother of three
young daughters, assured of their
abilities to take Hollywood by
storm where they are being herded
by the proud but anxious mother
the daughters, Harriet M. Jones,
jeanette Williams, and Marie
Hughes, whose small parts were
more or less overshadowed by the
well played mother. Miss Glenn
gave a restrained performance, in
dicating the ability to successfully
convey more heroic roles.
Title the maid, Opal Stone, was
the life of the play, presenting the
needed humor in way to relieve
the more somber notes. Fine voice
and facial expression and a thor
ough understanding of the posi-
bilities of the part made the Stone
presentation outstanding. Kermit
Kitchen, the young lover, gave a
realistic piece of acting but could
have dressed the part to better eff
feet. By and large, the production
reflected great credit upon the
members of the cast and spoke
volumes for the directing ability
of Fenton Spence, who directs
the Phyllis Wheatley players.
Members of the dramatic group
not in the evenings cast gave
inconspicuous but valuable help in
the box office, as ushers, or behind
the scenes.
