FORTY YEARS AGO, A MAN WAS AN
old man at SO. Usually bewhiskered, often
bent and gnarled and stiff and crippled up,
a man in those days looked older at SO than
a man looks today at 60 or 70. Modern equip
ment eliminates much of the hard, back
breaking work that made men old in the
days gone by. Work never killed anyone,
but overwork certainly helped in the old days
to put men closer to the grave.-Itasca Coun-

in per capita cases of the malady.
During the 40 weeks ending December
8, the nation had 7,130 cases of the disease
compared with 1857 during the same
months of 1888. This is an increase of more
than four to one and indicates that the bat

Bringing the picture closer to home,
Minnesota has had 518 cases this year, 10

WEST FILES FIRST CLAIM
BOUNTY UNDER NEW Law

The first bounty claim under the
new law was filed at Wrangell by
Earl Vest Monday on q wolf trap
ped IN back channel
The new law retains the same
provisions as the former in fixing
coyote and wolf bounty at $50 and
requiring that the ulna ara radius
bones of the left forearm or left
foreleg remain attached to the pelt
when claim is filed
The difference in the new law
from the old, is that after affidavit
is made before United States
Commissioner. the claimant must
then secure a certificate of identf-
fication signed by a Wildlife Agent
of the Alaska Game Commission CT
other officer designated by the
Commission The agent removes the
leg bones and punches a hole in the
left ear of the pelt. He forwards the
affidavit and claim 10 the Treasur-
er OF Alaska at Juneau, destroys the
leg bones and returns the pelt To
the claimant
The objective OF the extra red
tape was to prevent fraud by sub
shutting dogs for wolves. foxes or
puppies for coyotes. in order to col
lect bounty money. but the fact re
mains that il is not being favor
ably received by reputable men
among the trappers who feel that
it works an undue hardship without
a corresponding benefit

the carYers on the present Govern
ment project Of restoring an Indian
communal house, ancient totems and
carving new ones.
From his father, who vas not
only famous carver at Wrangell
but a totem painter as we'll held BY
the Thllngets to be quite as inn
portant as carving. Ukas as a child
ACQUIRED a store of old Thlinget
legends as expressed in totemie
design.
His explanation of the meaning
of the figures carved by Tagcook
we're listened to with great interest
both by townspeople and visitors.
After Ukas had finished his ex-
plantations. which concluded with
the story Of how mosquitoes came
into Alaska. the visitors were
taken By cars for the scenic drive
on Wrangell Highway fringing Zim-
ovia Straits to Wrangell Institute

BY the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Back IN town. the gardens and
homes were viewed, the visitors be
ing properly appreeiatiYe Of the
beauty Of the gardens and the
scenic setting of Wrangell. The his
toric background of the town. which
for one hundred and five years has
had continuous settlement under
white rule, and the two remaining
buildings Of the old stockade, built
after the purchase Of Alaska in 1867
were found interesting.
At 10 o'clock the editors waved
goodbye from the decks of tht
Aleutian. The sun had failed to &C
down in its expected riot of color
but in the bright twilight of an
Alaskan June night goodbyes were
waved in return.
In the brief space OF two and one
half hours a strong feeling of fel
lowship had sprung into being
Wrangell thoroughly enjoyed tbs
visitors and in response it was mad,
evident they had enjoyed their sta.
in port not only as a sightseeing ex
perience, but in the personal con
facts gained.

Keep The Crowds Coming!

We were more than pleased at the big crowd tina
turned out for Trade Day Saturday even though 1t wa!
pouring rain at four o'clock.
We've heard many participating merchants say
the same thing.
The thing we want to do now is to keep the crowds
coming to Durant every Saturday until they get the
habit of trading here.
In this connection we suggest to the merchants tina
you use the advertising columns of this paper to Offer
your merchandise to them and read the following para
graph taken from the Bolivar County News:
One Of the best community builders is the
merchant who runs an up-to-date store, clean,
well lighted, with a stock ample to meet the
needs of the immunity in which he is located,
well merchandised, we'll displayed and literally
advertised. A town may have fine streets and
good homes, well kept and well cared for, but
it is the live, progressive up-to-date merchant
that brings the business into the town. The au-
tomobile has made it possible for people to get
about more than they used to, and as a result
they have become more discriminating buyers
than they once were. They are are no longer
T. satisfied with a dingy, poorly-lighted, ill-kept
store, with shOpworn merchandise, poorly dis
played. They have come to know the more
modern, up-to-date merchandising, and the old
type has lost its attraction and appeal. One
good, live, up-to-date in a town, who adver-
tises his store and his services literally and in
diligently and persstently, will bring more
trade to the town than any other single thing,
and incidentally, a group Of such merchants
will build a modern city out of a cross roads
village because trade from far and near will
seek the thing and the service it desires wher-
ever it is to be found.

Survival OF Fittest

1t is said that Stain, iron man of Russia,
has executed more than a million of his sub
jects.
Veteran military leaders have died against
the firing wall.
The same thing has happened, except to
less degree, in Germany and Italy.
1t is a mad condition when men maintain
their leadership at such cost.
If that be dictatorship, then we of Ameri-
ca should have none of it.
But let us consider the fact THAT a die
tatorship can be of varying degrees.
Right here in America, if we are not
watchful, could crush and destroy our rights,
our liberties, our happiness, our initiative, even
though not our lives.
A Dictatorship, no matter what course it
might pursue, is abhorrent to our very natures.
1t runs counter to our inherent principles
and thoughts.
Let's have none of it.
But the mere wish is of no avail unless
backed up by constant watchfulness.
We are fast travelling in that direction, wheth-
er we want to admit it or not.
Those on the inside decry such a state
ment.
But let this fact be stated: A dictatorship,
once set up, will be hard to uproot.
And those on The inside" may find them
selves on the outside" on very short notice.
1t has happened in Russia and Germany.
Men high in the councils and esteem of
Stain and Hitler have, for cause or no cause,
been cast aside or have faced the execution
squad.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1939-06-08

Dictators know no law except the survi-
val of the fittest.
The above is taken from the Neshoba Democrat,
published at Philadelphia.
We cannot help but agree with those remarks.
However, we cannot close our eyes to the def
mite trend of government toward Capitalization which
is characteristic of dictatorship.
There is a certain amount Of reasonableness in
the assertion that if the government is going to be re-
sponsible for the economic security of its people, feed
them when they are out of Jobs, then it should have
some authority to govern, regulate and, in general.
have a free hand to do its best toward preserving a
measure Of security and economic well-being for its
people.
We cannot expect the government to take care
of us and exact nothing in return. \
When we can't behave ourselves we have to take
the punishment eventually.

After Graduation

Skipper w. S. Merriwether in the Mississippi Sun
shows what the 1888 high school graduates are doing
this year.
His report shows that five are brides and one bride
groom, eleven are working on the NYA, five in col
lege, five found work in Charleston in private indus
try, seven found work in private industry outside of
Charleston, one drowned, one is in Chicago taking an
electrical course, and seven are reported "at home"
in various places which would indicate that they have
not found anything to do yet, or anything they wanted
to do.
We wonder how these figures would compare with
the thousands of 1888 graduating classes over these
United States?

Too Much Drinking

Charlie Harris in his Madison County Herald, says
that as q result of too much drinking Saturday night
in Canton on the part of one man, there is now one moro
man in the cemetery, one in the hospital and another
went to jail. 50
He adds: even so, it is impossible to entirely stop
the sale of liquor and equally impossible to keep some
people from drinking to excess"
This may be true to the average town but our good
friend Charlie is wrong when he says that it can't be
stopped entirely.
If the officials in a town want the sale of liquor
stopped they can do it, or if the people want to bad
enough. We have one community in holmes county
where liquor is not sold.
We refer to Lexington.
Other communities could do likewise if they want
ed to.
