med Stetsons and shining boots are ever ready, with pleasant smile and helping hand, to assist and en- tighten the park guests, mingling among them, reassuring the bewil- dered, conversing ard answering questions-carrying the brunt of the National Park motto, When In doubt, ask a Ranger"
 A Ranger accompanies each bus during the park tour. Between him and the bus driver, who is an alert and pleasant man. little is missed of interest along the road. AS the route bisects the park lengthwise, the range of every park animal is entered somewhere enroute.
 Wild Life
 Each creat ture of the country arouses enthusiasm, from the friend- ly parka squirrel who nibbles tid- bits from the hand to the grizzly bear which is observed from more respectful distance. Moose are fre- quently seen, foxes in various color phases are cautiously friendly, flocks of mountain sheep may block the road or be seen grazing on a rugged slope, caribou by the thousands may monopoliZe river bar or grassy slope or perhaps scattered individ- uals or groups will be seen, infre- quently a wolf loping along at a safe distance will arouse squeals and exclamations of I've never seen a wolf before T never expected to see one of those animals" or look ing through glasses, He isn't bad looking fellow; looks like police dog"
 The golden eagle gliding and sweeping with the air currents and the ptarmigan in summer attire also contribute their share toward the thrill of seeing animals which are associated in peoples minds with Alaska But, these animals would seldom, if ever, be seen by a visitor if they were not safeguarded from hunting and trapping by the Na- tional Park. Here each creature of forest, tundra, mountain, water and air is permitted to live as the Gre ator intended it to live. Here man learns to know his fellow earthly inhabitants on basis of friendly contact or mutually respectful re- serve--depending upon the kind of animal and upon the character of the man

. Southeast Alaska is covered with forests. Its millions and millions of feet of timber, Government ag- encies estimate, would produce suf- ficient newsprint to supply quar- ter of the U. s. demand in perpet- uity.
 But Alaska has all things. And most of the Aleutian Islands are treeless in startling contrast with the Southeast.
 What that means in human terms was demonstrated by an item in the Alaska School Bulletin which told how long years of teaching school in the treeless Aleutians had taught the Sanak teacher not to depend on the monthly mail boat. So when word came shortly before Christmas that the mail boat would be delayed and that it could not bring fresh tree in time for the celebration. the teacher got out a year-old Christmas tree, covered it's branches with cotton and green pa- per, and placed 1t in the school.
 Strings of colored lights wera connected to radio battery loaned to the school for the occasion.
 Another touch: the colored lights powered by the radio battery were the first electric lights ever seen by some of the younger children.

By FRANK T. BEEN Superintendent, Mount Mckinley National Park

The crest of the continent, Mount Mckinley, highest peak in North America, is in the heart of Alaska and AlaSkans-a glowing symbol of Alaska's lofty aspirations. Grandest of all mountains-majestic, serene, aloof godly, unattainable, ethereal, shrouded by storms, haloed with clouds, shimmering pure white or delicately tinted by hidden sun it towers above imposing mountains which are dwarfed by Mount Mo- Kinley's magnificence.

people visit our National Park areas because they have learned to appre- ciate and enjoy these outdoor sanc- tuaries. National Park" is des- ignation which compels attention and attracts visitors because it de- notes natural charm, comfort and quiet relaxation. Hence, our parks are gaining admirers and friends who find in these unspoiled reserves the natural revivifying benefits which are so important for health and happiness
 In 1889, Mount Mckinley Na- tional Park had 52 percent in- crease of visitors compared to the previous high year, 1898. Although this is large increase in relation to it's former record. Mckinley travel is small compared to possi- bilities. Greatly increased numbers would come to the park and there. by benefit Alaska if the easy access sibility and comfortable accommo- dations were generally known.
 Mount Mckinley is the finest jewel of our scenic gems. and one of the grandest in the world. It is natural focal point of attrae- tion and naturally situated for travel routings Let us make it the inspiring goal for all Alaskan wis., itors. The National Park Service welcomes you, Alaskans. and will work with you to welcome the world to Mount Mckinley National Park.

Information For
Census Positions

The National Urban League has
been reliably informed that Cen
sus offices all over the country be-
gan to accept applications for jobs
as enumerators and clerks on
Thursday morning, February 1.
1t is imperative that all persons
who plan to make application do
so at once before the required
number of applications is received.
Because of the acknowledged in
fluence of politics in the appoint
ment of persons to these positions,
one should not stop at merely fill
ing out a written application form,
but should seek to get as many
endorsements as possible sent to
the District Supervisor in each
city.

HEART THROBS
is 1T WORTH WHILE?

Is it worth while that we jostle
a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road
of life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at
each other
In blackness of heart, that we
war to the knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as we jostle each
other;
God pardon us all for the triumph
we feel,
When fellow goes down meath
his load on the heather,
Pierced to the heart: Words are
keened than steel,
And mightier far for woe than
for veal.
Were it not well, in this brief lit
tie journey
On over the isthmus, down into
the tide
We give him a fash instead of a
serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and
abide
Forever and aye in dust at his
side.
Look at the roses saluting each
other;
Look at the herds all at peace on
the plain;
Man, and man only, makes war
on his brother.
And laughs in his heart at his
peril and pain
Shamed by the beasts that go
down on the plain.
Is it worth while that we battle
to humble
Some poor fellow down into the
dust?
God pity us ALL Time too soon
will tumble
All of us together, like leaves in
a gust,
Humbled, indeed, down into the
dust.

Your House And
Garden Beautiful
Lamps in Your Home
Nv Doris Jones

Lamps should be truly dramatic
objects. They accent your color
scheme, flatter the wood sur
faces and fabrics, and often make
an otherwise uninteresting corner
attractive. And they must be very
well chosen because their bright
ness attracts attention and makes
them important accessories.
In decorating your house be sure
that each lamp Is exactly right
for the atmosphere of the room.
Remember that the final effect of
your home depends unon the beau
ty of each small thing Select the
daintiest dressing table with the
same consideration you would give
the most important furniture. Look
for distinction and style that will
be good Indefinitely, rather than
for something that may turn out
to be a passing fancy. Let them
reflect your personality, but never
forget that their relationship to
the room is an important point.
A dainty lamp should be as fem
mime as the dressing table it lights.
In a bedroom decorated in soft
beige, porcelain base would carry
out the color scheme beautifully.
If the eighteenth century atmos-
phere is what you like best, a
white silk shade is lovely over a
crystal base. The shape should
be graceful, and the crystal base is
perfect for a room of this type.
Fresh yellow glazed chintz and
printed white organdie play their
parts in making a perfect spring
room that is equally good the year
around. White lamps with white
silk shades and urn-shaped bases
of White Lenox china will accent
and display to advantage other
white objects in the scheme.

LOWDOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE

My New Years resolution list
this year, it was as long as ever.
And at the very top is a resolve
to henceforth read no more 2-col-
umn columns on what somebody is
gonna do for the farmers. And
next comes a resolution to put a
deaf ear on White House gossip
picked up by our quivering Lady
Reporters. And the third term
guessers, I am tabooing them =
complete.
And plump women in Stacks, 1
resolve to refrain, if possible, from
wanting to let go with both bar
rels when one of 'em ripples over
the horizon.
And while we are talking about
ladies, any bride who is in a guam
Diary, and does not know what to
do about a 1910 resolution, she
should consider this-sWear off on
boudoir clothes in the breakfast
nook. Cleopatra, she would not
have had much allure nibbling at
her breakfast in tin-crimpers and
a night shirt. Brides who will fol-
low this resolve, they will not be
stewing around all next year about
who the dark-eyed steno happens
to be, down at the office.
But all in all, 1910, she looks
great. Cactus Jack versus the
COP - that is plenty.
