Me And Myself
 A POEM

I'm the best pal that I ever had, I like to be with me; like to sit and tell myself
 Things confidentially. I often sit and ask me
 If I shouldn't or should, And I find that my advice to me Is always pretty good. I never got acquainted with
 myself till here of late, And I find myself bully chum,
 l treat me simply great. I talk with me and walk with me And show me right and wrong, I never knew how we'll myself,
 And me could get along. I never try to cheat me, I'm as truthful as can be; No matter what may come or go,
 I'm on the square with me. It's great to know yourself and hav
 A pal that's all your own; To be such company for yourself You're never left alone. You'll try to dodge the masses,
 And you'll find a crowds a joke, If you only trust yourself as well
 As you treat other folk. I've made a study of myself
 Compared with me the lot, And I've finally concluded
 I'm the best friend I've got. Just get together with yourself
 And trust yourself with you, And you'll be surprised how wei
 yourself
 Will like you if you do.

Communications Addressed to The Nome Nugget
FIELD AGENCY OF THE Federal Housing Administration
 Office of the Territorial Director for Alaska JUNEAU, ALASKA.
PRESS RELEASE

The First National Bank of Fair banks has joined the ranks of the financial institutions in Alaska which are cooperating with the Federal Modernization program, it was announced recently by John E. Pegues, Director for Alaska.
 "E. L. Bartlett Assistant Director, who reached Fairbanks, has advised the Juneau office that The First Ma tional there has now applied for an Insurance Contract and will fully cooperate in the plan" Mir Pegues said.
 ''Thus, eleven out of IA of the banks in Alaska are either already qualified to make Government-in- sured, modernization loans or have applied for permission to do so,' he addeds "These include the First Ma tional Bank of Juneau and the First National Bank of Ketchikan, the first two institutions to apply and qualify; B. M. Behrends Bank, of Juneau; Miners & Merchants Bank of Ketchikan; the Bank of Peters burg, the Bank of Alaska with its three branches, Skagway, Wrangell, and Anchorage, the Bank of Seward, Bank of Valdez and the First Ma tional of Fairbanks, is the latest to join the ranks of those institutions that are lining up behind the Presi- dents plan of putting private capi- tai back into circulation, relieving unemployment, improving individ- ual homes and raising community morale"
 Only the Miners & Merchants Bank of Nome, the First National Bank of Anchorage and the First Bank of Cordova have not qualified to participate in the program, and these are expected te. align them selves with the movement in the very near future.
 Qualification under Title I of the National Housing Act does not carry with it qualification under Title Il" MT. Pegues pointed out. Eligible institutions, although operating un- der Title I, are required to apply for membership under Title II. Prac- tically every Alaska bank is eligible and most of them have applied for permission to make insured loans under the latter section of the Ma tional Housing Act.
 "The benefits of this are manifold Under it new construction can be financed on a basis of five percent, simple interest, old mortgages can be refinanced, homes may be purchas- ed, and interest and amortization

lenbach. WaSser said he held al

eight issues in all.

Chrysler Overdrive
Aids breaking In

One of the most popular features
Of the Chrysler automatic overdrive-
standard equipment on the Airflow
Imperial and Custom Imperial and
optional Ut slight extra cost on the
Airflow Fights that 1t serves to
simplify the ''breaking-in' problem.
The reason for this is that the
overdrive automatically reduces the
engine revolutions to the point per-
missible In 4 new car and at the
same time gives . road speed that Is
adequate to all ordinary purposes
Thus the owner Is relieved of the
worry Of holding his car down in its
first 1000 miles and can safely start
long tour right at the door Of his
dealers saleMoom without feeling
that he has to crawl along on the
open highway In the early stages OF
his journey.
The overdrive may be set to engage
at any predetermined point between
IS and IS miles an hour. As soon as
1t engages, there Is decrease Of ap-
proximately one-third In the number
Of engine revolutions. II 1t is set at
IS miles an hour. q safe engine speed
In conventional drive. the road speed
Of the car can be maintained at
close to SO miles an hour without i'm
posing any more of q burden on the
new engine than It can handle. In
fact the additional load of the over
drive helps the "breaking-in" pro-
cess.

COTTON PRICES
BREAK BADLY

NEW YORK, April 16 0N.SO.
Reports that southern shippers
were making basis concession to
sell old crop premiums touched off
liquidation in the cotton market
today and prices declined rapidly
before firming slightly at the noon
hour.
Spot houses we're selling the
near months on these reports and
Europe and the Far East soon be-
gan to contribute holdings in some
volume. The trade bought on the
decline and Liverpool was also a
purchaser. Lower than due cables
in that city were also influential
in bringing about the decline.
Weather reports indicate condi-
lions generally clear over the cot
ton belt, with no precipitation
overnight and with temperatures
ranging from 38 to SO degrees.
The court decision against the
constitutionality of the Kerr
Smith tobacco act has led to some
doubt as to the validity of the
Bankhead bill which is in many
respects similar. There was some
uneasiness resultant and the de-
velopment aided in obscuring the
brighter prospects which a few
days ago seemed to be ahead for
cotton.
Many of the present holders of
futures came in at considerably
lower levels and are no longer
moved to buy but disposed to take
profits upon comparatively slight
provocation. Thus rumors that
the 12-cent loan would be reduced
to 10 cents on the new crop, and
that the Administration VS. not
enthusiastic on committing itself
to crop loans at all unless it was
assured of continued curtailment
with the consequent protection of
its own large holdings, easily dis
turb the market.
The market recovered slightly
toward noon and May was quoted
at 11.55c, off 10: July, 11.61c, off
II; October, 1880, off 9 and De-
cember, 11.40c, off 9 points.

Late Easter Cuts
Sales of Varieties

The variety and apparel chain
store sales for March show a de-
cline from last year. The bust
ness of these chains was seriously
affected because Easter sales,
which are the second best of the
year, came in March last year,
while this year the Easter buying
will be in April.
Six grocery chains reported for
the four weeks ended March %
an increase of 8.74 per cent in
sales over the corresponding pc
riod of 1884. The sales of grocery
chains for two years are COM
parable since Easter did not come
in that four weeks period in
either year.
