TIL only floating department
store in the world, so far as this
writer knows, pushes off for
Alaska, the Northern Lights
and as odd a set of customers
as any store ever had.
It goes, as it goes every year,
to serve the little brown broth
ers of the Arctic Circle, the
EskimoS. These diminutive blub-
Der consumers, hailing, in the
dim past, from some obscure
Monaghan strain, are no longer

had seized control of the whal-

would, with other sorts of trad.

simple junk to pass on to the
simple minded Eskimos. Any.

was an excellent place from
which to review the parade.
The next day, however, it de-
veloped that Dan I. Sultan, en-
cheering commissioner, had
promised that no stands would
be constructed in or on the
District building.
So into Aliens office again
trOOped the corps Of workers.
Down came the standS-just
before the biggest parade Of all.
Extolling the virtues of the
late Speaker Henry T. Rainey,
Representative Adolph j. Sa-

tribute to the late House leader.

think, you can draw a picture
for yourself Of the flashing,
wavering, mysterious northern
lights in all their puppies and
greens and gold, casting a weird
radiance on a snow-covered
beach. And Captain Johnny
and his sea--going clerks deal
out the white mans merchan-
disc to a village of avid, eager
little brown people.

necessities or pleasing to his
fancy, and lays his course for
the Arctic Circle, to trade for
the products which his Eskimo
friend: wrest from nature,
from the iron jaws of the frozen
North.
He has, has Captain Johnny,
a definite trading itinerary. He
may have upon his annual list
as many as 40 villages or COM
munities, old friends most Of
them. And so he sails the c.
S. Holmes into some convenient
harbor, and presently the water
is dotted with these queer skim
covered canoes called 'kyacks."
And presently the trading
deck of the four-maSter is
crowded with plump little men,
women and children, eager to
bargain. It is a leisurely bust
ness because both sides, the
trader and the trades, take
keen pleasure in dickering.
Captain Johnny displays his
rifles and ammunition, his
music boxes, his radio sets, his
safety razors, his hatchets and
axes, along with a hundred
other useful or fancy articles,
and also with sugar and flour
and bacon and heavy wool gar.
ments, leather boots and rub
Der boots.
In return he takes in those
lovely furs of the North-Sable
and mink and marten, and a
few silver foxes, if the season
has been fortunate.
In the old days, Capt. Johnny
Backland and other traders, in
the North, could swap string
of glass beads for a fine pelt.
Not any more.
In this day and age the
Eskimo can spot a bargain as
far as he can see a seal. They
demand value received, &C"
cording to their lights. On his
trip last year, the captain found
q strong demand for portable
monographs, dance records,
flashlights and small radio sets.
FURS AND RADIOS
He had the thrilling exper.
fence Of sitting In an igloo,
little brown people all around
him, eyes glistening with excite
ment, all feasting on blubber,
while they listened to a Ger.
man band playing in a beer
hall in Berlin.
There is no better radio re-
ception in the world during the
summer than exists in the
Arctic circle. Indeed the radio
is civilizing the Eskimo. The
Royal Canadian Mounted
Police can bear witness to that.
So can our own Coast Guard
patrols.
The captain finds that the
ESkimos are an honest lot to
deal with. Their credit is good.
It happens occasionally that
the fur season has been poor.
Not always are the little brown
people able to provide the furs
they need in this fascinating
game of exchange.
But the captain Is always
willing to extend them credit
and has never failed to get his
moneys worth, with interest.

Stimulated. by the similar action Of other communities, affiliated with the National Council of Jew fnh Federafions and Welfare funds, the Springfield, Mass, Jewish com- munity has set up Jewish Com munity Council, which will estab- fish a central fund-raising ,machin- cry for non-local needs, which will {. concern itself with a program for communal Jewish education, and consider other aspects of commun- -ity planning, leaders of the com munity announced to-day.
 The announcement followed the third of series of meetings held by representatives of Al organize tions in Springfield to discuss the < organization of such a council. At this meeting, at which Rabbi z Isaac Klein presided, and Samuel Josolowitz was secretary, 1t was definitely moved to set up the council. and a constitution was prepared upon which final action will be taken at a meeting to be held March 25.
 The meeting adopted the follow ing resolution, as the principles upon which the council would be established:
 'The Jewish Community of Springfield, cognizant of it's respon- sibility to it's institutions, welfare agenceis, and it's organizations, is deslrous of unifying and integrat- ing its activities to the end that a sound and satisfying program bo maintained, whereby the Jewish life of the city shauld be construc- : tive, wholesome and of a high standard. It is aware of the value of community planning in regard

to social, economic and group inc terests. It is aware of the neces- sity of arousing public opinion on matters of broad Jewish interest. It is hopeful of finding solutions to its many problems by coopera- tive effort on the part of it's civic- minded inhabitants, organizations and institutions.
 .Tt is not the purpose of this body to interfere with the inter- nal functional operation of any or- ganization or group in the city so long as they do not affect the Jew ish community as Q whole. It is the intention of the body to inter- est itself only with those matters which pertain to the general well fare of the Jewish inhabitants of Springfield and to relate the Jewish community to the problems and in- terests of Jews everywhere"
 The National Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare funds with which approximately 50 fed- erations and welfare funds are af fi!iated, was organized in October 1882, ito offer a medium for tue consideration of the common in- terests and problems of Jewish federations and welfare funds, and to develop standards and principles of effective community organiza- ton and inter-community relations ships in extra-local activities.

BOTH FACTIONS

Bridgeport, Conn, March 19-- (U.P.)-The wrangle of the Dan- bury Taxpayers League over which of it's factional tickets should appear on the voting ma chimes in the city election March 25, to-day was settled by 8 super for court decision which denied both slates the right of ballot. The party, which held two simultan- eous caucuses last month and give support to G. Walter Morgan, dem- ocratic mayoralty candidate for re- election, and republican nominee. Adam Roth, was a power in the 1893 election when 1t upset the major parties.
 Secretary of State Dr c. John Satti accepted the ticket chosen by the group headed by William J.. Whitelly and ignored the slate pre- pared at the caucus presided over by Arthur H. Heating.

 The bond holders are for the most part people of small means and the difference represented by the loss of the premium on the bonds in the event that they fail to exchange them in time would be of considerable financial aid, he said. The statement of the treas- ury department follows:
 Holders of called Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds and final digit of which is 5, or de- string to exchange for the new issue of a 2H per cent. Treas ury Bonds of 1955-60 must do so before the close of busi- ness Wednesday, March 27th, 1895.
 Owners of called bonds may arrange for the exchange at any of the local banks.
 Interest on all such Fourth liberty Loan Bonds called for redemption will cease on April 15, 1885,"
