biggest industrial systems this town has ever seen

it represented the peak of desired living IL STOOD

characteristic of the day. Yet it probably honey

the fashion of the day. dumb waiter traversed

It became and still is, we believe, the mos'

Mr. Keller came here shortly before the turn OF
the century set up wagon building works that
employed dozens Of in this community. They
were the days when good wagons were as necessary

A Forgotten Credo of the Days Gone By

A heritage still in in the roaring" 20's lost
during the "dented" and "shirtless" 3Os, and which
may may not come back, according to the political
set-up adopted in the e? 40s. thrft-and thrift
was urged by the government necessity in the
successful solution of the economic and financial
problems of 1920
Accordingly the Savings Division of the Treas
ury Department urged that every American citizen
adopt and live up to individual financial creed
and of conduct for that year lot different
than the spend yourself to prosperity era" which
followed in unsuccessful attempt to cure the fin
ancial crisis.
We republishing a part of the summary of
suggestions urged by the governmental department
because they have been relegated to the limbo of
that departed decade just following the horse and
buggy days" and because wonder If they could
not be made of value during this decade upon which
have just embarked The suggested credo follows:
II believe in the United States of Amer
lea. My opportunity and hopes depend upon
her future I believe that her stability and
progress rest upon the industry and thrift of
her people. Therefore, will work hard and
live simply I will spend less than 1 earn
I will my earning with care. will save
consistently and invest thoughtfuly."
And that was the suggested creed of 1920 (the
prohibition the jazz age) which held little appeal
for the people of that day. Had 1t been adhered
to there might have been difference. Who knows!
Roarin' through the 2Os into the "dented" 3Os,
we have every reason to wonder what we shall name
the 4Os, when he embark upon another decade An
interesting speculation, 1t seems it is again
for the people decide at least their actions Will
have some bearing upon failure or success in the
future.

Political Panaceas Usually Are Failures

An estimated and ultimate loss of $4,000 900 to
the State of Minnesota through the liquidation of
the rural credits department has been announced by
Conservator George c. Jones, who also announced
the sale of 1O25 farms during the year 1882 The
approximate loss for 1889 is 100000 This has been
an expensive experiment for the state and should
be warning against adoption of other brilliant
political panaceas. Most of them, aside from their
political significance campaign material doom
ed to failure because of the that they have no
place in governmental setups Lending is the bust
of banks and credit associations spending
which has become prolific institution of govern
ment, be curtaed by letting individual business
handle it's own business.

Stupid Lying
New York Times

New York Times
Lying doesn't always pay There times when
is expedient to tell the truth But German official
dom now apparently lies on principle, matter how
much it stands to lose by adherng to the principle.
The Graf Spec affair is the latest and most brilliant
example When the pocket battleship fled before the
British cruisers into the harbor at Montevdeo the
German public may have been only slightly puzzled
by the announcement the Berlin radio that it
had merely done to reprovison. But this puzzle
ment must have grown very suddenly when the Ger
man public learned that its Government was insist
ing to Uruguay that three days were not enough
to repair the victorious German battleShip on
which according to the broadcast mo visible traces
of the engagement were to be seen, and on which
the bridge, the observation mast and the hull were
"unscathed." The German public must have been
still more bewildered to learn that the Graf Spec
had any great risk to run in leaving as the broad
cast had informed it that 1.-The British ships were
forced to seek safety in neutral harbor." Its be-
wilderment must have risen to complete incredulity
when learned that the of the practically I'M
scathed Graf Spec, which had driven its enemies
into neutral harbors calmly took the proud ship out
and under direct order from Adolf Hitler sank it
themselves
In retrospect there is grim irony in one sentence
of the German broadcast describing the result of
the battle once again the assertion of British
naval domination must seem exploded by PLAIN
facts" The real explosion occurred in the mouth
of the River Plate, when German hands pressed
the electric button that caused the Graf Spec to
burst into roaring furnace. 1t will be long time
before the reverberations from that explosion die
down. They must have shaken the confidence of
many Germans in the invulnerability of their arms
and the judgment of their leaders They must GER
tainly have shaken the confidence of the whole
German public in the veracity of the official war
reports.
1t is clear that much less damage would have
been done to the German if the GoebbelS pro-
paganda machine had told the truth in the first
place The lies not only proved useless. They not
only made the final fate of the Graf Spec and of
its commander much more difficult to explain at
home They must further undermine the confidence
of neutrals and Germans alike in any subsequent
war reports from Berlin.

CREEPING HELIUM

Liquid helium which is just about the coolest
thing we know Gt exist only at temperatures
around 452 degrees below zero, has the peculiar
property of creeping up the walls of glass vessel
in which it may be kept. Indeed it creeps so eagerly
that is likely to creep clear over the top edge
and flow away This has annoyed scientists, who
have used liquid helum to produce extremely low
temperatures and if it annoys them enough, some
good may yet come of it. Helium, of course, is
ordinarily gas and is most spectacular is for
filling balloons.

SUNDAY, JANUARY z

Adverse aspects are active today
1t is most unlucky for initiative
in any mercantile pursuit. Foreign
news of significance to the bust
ness world may be expected Com
merce is threatened by many foes.
Heart and Home: Under this
sway there may be an inclination
toward fickleness. Stability should
be nurtured in young persons Girls
should be directed toward self
supporting careers and discouraged
against indulging in romance at an
early age. The seers warn that
women of the future are to sus-
tain heavy responsibilities owing
to world upheavals. homecoming
plans should be considered by the
thrifty.
Business Affairs: Farmers should
profit this year, although nature
is to destroy crops by floods and
tornadoes. Food problems will con-
Germ Europe as well as Asia where
famine will destroy many Chinese.
Fruit growers should benefit
through increased demands, as bey-
erages composed of juices gain i'll
popularity. Prohibition campaigns
will gain momentum in various
states. 1at
National Issues: Graft and cor
ruption will be fought with a de-
termination that augurs success.
Reform in the methods of conduct
ing public business will be demand
ed by voters Increased taxation
will cause widespread effort 20
change indifferent attitudes of
office holders toward their work
International Affairs: Northern
Africa will be affected by revolu-
tionary influences emanating from
Morocco. Economic strain will
cause uprisings in various foreign
countries, notably in territory re-
Gently annexed by Hitler White Rus
slams will aid revolts against Sta
lin who will arouse world indigna
ton by ignoring treaties with other
nations. There is a sign that seems

Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year Of ro-
gress. Profits through speculation
or through inventions are prognos-
ticated for certain men.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be intelligent and highly
talented. These subjects of Capri
corn are usually ambitious and sue
cessful all through life.

News that a former Juneau man, Dr.. Vance E.
Murray has been sent to Finland to combat cpl

very important phase danger to civilian life during
warfare.
Finland according to the American Red Cross,
made an urgent request that American doctors be
dispatched to their country to fight "typhus and

the Russian invasion

Office of Indian Affairs here is specialist in cpl

the United States embassy in Berlin a United
States Public Health Service physician.
AS Stephen T. Early, the Presidents Secretary,
explained the situation: 1t seems that if not for
the first time in the medical history of Finland,
then at least one of the most seldom occasions,
the country has been troubled with typhus. 1t is
new and their medical authorities unfamiliar
with and do not know how to combat the disease.

physicians will be able to help Finland on this
front.

BUSINESS AS USUAL

A Copenhagen dispatch to the magazine Iron
Age gave a strange sidelight on the in Europe.
France recently bought 100000 tons Of Belgian
coal and sold 100000 tons of iron ore to Belgium.
The Iron Age correspondent declares that amount of
coal to be above Belgiums export capacity and that
amount of iron to be above Begium's capacity to
consume
He says:
The assumption is that most Of the coal will
come from Germany and the iron ore will go to
Germany.
THAT there is also not unimportant other
trade machinery, tools implements etc) via Belgium

confirmed by Belgian sources

MONDAY, JANUARY 8 A.,

Aspects of evil portent are dis
cerned in today's horoscope All
risks should be avoided by nler-
chants and manufacturers. Women
are under a sway most unfavorable
to Judgment and common sense.
Heart and Home: Concentrate
today on work. With renewed in
terest after holiday festivities
young and old should find happi-
ness in practical activities. 1t is a
promising sway for students and
educators. World peace aspirations
should be reflected in the family
which may be sensitive to current
planetary influences which encour-
age quarrels.
Business Affairs: Despite limiia-
lions affecting. commerce, general
business conditions in the United
States should be satisfactory.
Manufacturing comes under a slim
ulating aspect Hospitals should be
generously supported, for there is
sign presaging much illness. An
epidemic will make heavy demands
upon the medical profession. Nerve
strain and excessive use of alco-
holic beverages will add many pa
tients to sanitorium lists.
National Issues: Subsidies for
farmers will be needed, but new
angles in the agriculture problem
will develop. Owing to the value
of political support from those who
till the earth and raise livestock,
the prospect of substantial aid is
bright, especially in western states.
Congress will be overwhelmed with
imperative bills, but there will be
many delays in their passage. Tax
relief will be persistently demanded
International Affairs: Prospect of
material gains in commerce may
be unfortunate, if the lure causes
hasty and ill-advised pacts. The
Philippines will become the sub
ject of anxiety as small acts OF
aggression are reported. Need of
an enlarged navy will be recog-
nized by Congress.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of ex-
banding interests. Financial secur-
ity will come to many. Women will
make advantageous marriages.
Children born on this day have
the best possible prospects. These
Capricorn natives are usually in
telleetual, industrious and well bal
anced. Both boys and girls are like
v to be efficient in whatever vo-
cation they choose.
