Fly that heading; we don't mean an Army Air Base, we mean just an or dinary little commercial field.
 Alaskans fly more miles per cao- ita than oeonle of any other dis trict in tho world. Aviation, now that it is we'll established, is as important to Alas3za as good roads arc to the 0ooDle in t,lo Jtates. An air fiold is necessity to any town in Alaska, yet we lavo not one place where shi0s can land exceot in the planted fiC Id 1-l'. 5lonbcc2-, and that wi Il soon be out.
 T113o on the Anchorage Ball Team flew u0 hero to play 7aluer l&r. Shonbeck graciously turned the field over to the flyers, but it certainly asking too much to expect to use it cny longer. lis crop is up and not only will cont tinuod landings ruin what has been olontod, but it is be- coming dangerous to land because of the height of the hay.
 Certainly, there must be an area ~round hero which could be made into 6 field without too excessive cost. Some old settler may find that his pasture will earn more as , flvinc field than it brings him IS a grazing place for his cows.

FARMERS GUARD YOUR WOOL

I have reason to believe that
wool thieves are likely to begin op-
erations in this county. Farmers
should keep a close watch on tnelr
clips of wool / would suggest that
you sack it if possible, since wool
thieves usually go to a place ana
quickly grab up fieeces of wool, and
rush away. Don't hesitate to notl-
fly me if you hear of any suspects

Some one casually the editor)

"take down" the type that still re-
mains in the form from the last
issue, generally a matter of two or
three hours. Then the new type
for the Forthcoming issue is placed
in the forms according to the plans
already drawn or carried in the
editors head. After that comes
the expert work of the makeup
man. This skillful artisan gives to
the paper that balanced appear
ance that so pleases the readers
although they do not realize it.
After this is all completed to the
satisfaction of the watchful editor,
the form is moved across the hall,
placed in the machine that does
everything but talk. The first
paper off the press must be care
fully scanned for errors (the editor
does this), then the entire issue is
printed and carried to our office.
The whole force is put to work
folding and preparing it for the

Health and
Hygiene
Pigmented MOles
By DR.. w. D. Brown

For the most part, everyone has
a mole somewhere on his body. 1t
may be fiat or projecting. 1t may
be augmented or it may not. If
augmented, the color varies from
light brown to black. The color
is due to an iron-free pigment
known as melanin.
1t is a growth which may be
classified as a tumor of the skin.
It's origin is questionable but if I'M
disturbed, it remains harmless.
Potentially, however, it may be the
starting point of a very malignant
cancer, the melanosarcoma. Once
started, the cancer grows rapidly
and because some of it's parts are
carried inward to vital organs, life
itself is threatened. In other
words, premature deaths may be
caused by such a little thing as an
irritated mole.
Constant irritation over a long
period of time, then, is the cause
that we must eradicate. Moles that
are in the scalp are being struck
daily by a comb. Moles at various
parts of the body which rub
against the clothing such as in the
region of the hips, or breasts are
likewise being irritated daily.
Therefore, since the hair must be
combed and since clothing must be
worn, the logical thing to do is to
dispense with the mole.
Cutting or thorough burning
away of this little bit of tissue is
very easy and may be the means
of preventing much trouble later.
The procedure should not be tried
by yourself or lay friends, how
ever, for insufficient removal may
initiate a cancer.
