Bay State Pharmacy Dresses up
William II. Brown, proprietor of
the Bay State Pharmacy in Roxbury
is an old soldier who believes in being
on the job early or late. Every morn
ing when he is on duty, right in the
dot he is opening the drug store on
fremont St., corner of Mortified St.
His early morning smile is infectious
and his courtesy is surpassed by none.
The new silver exterior of this drug
store dresses the block and the inside
now as always is as "neat as a pin"
Doubtless the manager, Isaac w. Star
kew, registered pharmacist, is proud of
the store and the able proprietor, old
Sergeant Brown Without the permis-
sion of our sweetheart we reproduce
our poetic effusion which Eugene
Gordon once called "iunk."

we find the real soul and personality Of
America. From such humble surround.
ings as these. typified by the lowly log
cabins where John Garner and his
sainted mother were born, have come
the truly great in Americas glorious
history. They knew. as he knows. what
America is, what America stands for.
and how and why our American system
of government was conceived. They
knew. as he knows. what it means TO toll
and strive and work. They knew. as he
knows, that there is no substitute for
self-reliance and individual initiative.
and that any system of government
which takes from the individual these
fundamental tenets of liberty cannot
long endure as a democracy of freemen.
They knew. as he knows. that for men
to be free they must be guaranteed only
freedom of opportunity to work out their
own destinies, and that the highest pur-
pose and duty of government in a de-
mocracy is to assure 10 every citizen an
equal chance with his neighbor This is
the essence OF John Gamers political
philosophy.
Il have no patience with those who
would seek to analyze the percentage
of ones AmericaniSm. It is not di-
visible thing. II is not something that
can be broken up into parts and ap-
praised in its constituent elements.
Either one is an American or he is
not. Nevertheless. | cannot help but
feel that there never was a time in the
history of our beloved country when
the need for the leadership of those
whose Americanism is beyond all per-
adventure of doubt was so essentially
and vitality necessary to the preserva-
ton of America and American institu-
tions as it is at the present moment
Here in Red River County. where

with her six fatherless children came
from Tennessee almost hundred years
ago. built yonder log cabin. and joined

The time has definitely arrived in
America when positions of trust and
responsibility should be placed exclu-
sively in the hands of the elders. de-
clared Roy Miller. oldtime editor Of
Texas. in speaking recently at gath
ering of old friends and neighbors Of
John Nance Garner. vice president in
the little village of Detroit. Texas. where
the distinguished Texan was born near
ly sixty mine years ago.
There is no substitute, either in pub
lie or private life, for experience. and
experience. Of course. comes only with
years. AS matter of fact. the only thing
that is old about John Nance Garner is
some of his political philosophy. He still
believes in the old-fashioned virtues of
economy. thrift. and self-reliance. In
other words. he believes in the old-fash-
toned. fundamental principles of de-
mocracy. and no man in America. in
both his public and private life. exem-
plifies those principles to such a degree
as does this great man.
while achieving high place politi-
cally. he has made substantial success
of his private life. and it is his proud
boast that he owes no human being
thin dime He believes in the pay-as-
you-go system. and what blessing ii
would be if that system could be applied
to America today.
Lest | be misunderstood. let me say
here. with all Of the emphasis can COM
mand. that John Garner is no reaction
airy in his political philosophy Indeed.
he is not even a conservative. if the
term be applied with the meaning with
which it was clothed in years gone by.
John Garner is a liberal and a great
liberal. He was liberal Democrat prac-

there is no tinge or talni of radicalism in
the liberalism of john Garner His
liberalism is that which would guaran-
tee to every American citizen the right
and opportunity TO work out his or her
salvation with the least possible inter-
ference upon the part of the Govern
ment. Therefore. he believes in all nee
essary legislation and regulation to pro-
tect the weak against the strong. the
poor against the rich. the owner of
property against those who would de-
stroy the ownership Of property; in
short, equality of opportunity for every
American citizen. He believes in De-

BUSINESS REPORT

Late business reports are not en-
couraging, so far as the immediate
future is concerned. The last week
for which statistics are available
shows slight decline in many in
dices, and improvement in none.
Sharply reduced cotton production
schedules, due to high inventories
in the hands of manufacturers, is
one of the most severe Oppressive
factors.
Outlook is for more slight declines
for several weeks. Then. according
to most of the experts, turn for
the better should set in.
Few forecasters are bold enough
to express opinions Of the future be-
yond a few months. World condi-
tions are 40 unsettled now that any
thing can happen.

DOG SAVES OWNER
AND TWO OTHERS
in ICY BLIZZARD
Lady, Once Just a Bag of
Bones Finds Shelter
For Dying Men.

FAIRBANKS, ALASKA.-Alaska
has new heroine. She's not much
to look at, this eight year old husky
called Lady; snarling, tough old
bit of dogflesh worth S. as an invest
ment. But three hardened sour
coughs are mighty grateful to her.
She saved them all from death in
the cutting blizzard that recently
swept the bleak Kaiyuh mountains.
The story was told recently by
Frank Alba, who is recovering from
broken leg in st. Joseph's hospital
here. He was prospecting in the
mountains when he suffered the in
jury. His partner, Kenneth Oxford,
and a neighbor, Frank Spieljack,
bound him on sled. They made
up team of eight dogs, with Lady
in the lead, and set out for the near
est settlement, Kaltag.
Blizzard Sweeps Down.
That was on Monday. The next
day the blizzard swept down on
them. They all mushed on and for
three days the blizzard ragged. Dog
food ran out and the sourdouehs
gave their bacon to the dogs.
"At 10 o'clock Oxford said he
could not travel on. The snowshoes
had blistered his feet. He sought
shelter and told US to send help in
the morning." Alba continued.
"Spieljack kept the dogs headed
against the storm until midnight. He
and the dogs were so tired he lay
down. He had no covering; his out
er garment was just a parka made
of drill. He told me if he hadn't had
me to care for he'd just have lain
there until he froze.
THE blizzard was raging when
l called him. We decided to 20
back to vacant woodcutter's tent.
The night was pitch dark. I
couldn't even see Lady at the head
of the team. But she was out
there, breaking her own trail.
Lady Finds Oxford.
Finally she stopped. I thought
she was done. But beside the sled
there was figure. 1t was Oxford,
who had attempted to overtake US.
If we hadn't turned back, and if
Lady hadn't found him, he'd have
died.
Oxford took hold of the sled G.
pole and staggered along. We went
on downstream. After a while Lady
turned away from the river, toward
the bank. Spieljack headed her back.
She swerved again and almost trot-
ted until she'd pulled US up to the
bank. Then she lay down. l said,
maybe she'd sensed tent was near.
"Spieljack found the vacant tent,
with a Yukon stove and some cut
wood, close by. They pushed me
and the sled inside, built fire and
while suffered tortures with my
leg, the men and dogs slept like
logs.
AT daybreak Spieljack took the
dogs on an ll-mile mush to Kaltag
for help. About three we heard
voices and dogs barking. Four
teams had come for us.
I'VE never could have survived if
Lady hadn't had such stamina-and
brains" Alba concluded She kept
that team going during the bliz-
yards; she found Oxford, and she
found that tent
