Prosperity really abounds in Hat
ticsburg and any other community
near an army camp.
One lady from down that way lost
her negro cook. Eliza's husband was
working out at the camp and MAX
ing HOO per day. In the face of
this prosperity she stopped work.
Several weeks later her former
employer met Eliza on the street
and asked her if she knew where she
could get another cook. Eliza re-
piled: "No man, you know I'm out
looking for myself cook Sam just
thinks ought not to stay in the
kitchen these hot days"

RUTH TAYLOR SAYS:
WHAT Is YOUR DUTY?

The keynote of todays requirements sounded the
other day by the Vice President of the United States when
he SAID that we must develop Bill of Duties bill which
will ma ntain revvify and fulfill the Bill of Rights This
does not duty to the State but duty CT every man to
his neighbor.
Duty is an old fashioned workout all the modern
phsries wort wipe it out This country grew up copy
book sayings and it reached its height under who had
thoroughly dnned into them the plain, homely virtues
of loyalty honesty and integrity and the personal appca
ton Of these to their community life.
We have wandered far and have too often taken rights
as privileges We GO back to the Proverbs to the SIM
pie statements Of right and wrong.
Righteousness eXateth nation; but sin is re-

net} the just even they both an abomnation to the

struction and unders landing
Gle that hath no rule his spirit is like
city that is broken down and without walls
"They that forsake the law, praise the wicked but
such as keep the law contend with them"
Only by setting up Bill of Duties for ourselves can

 Orders from individua in Rot ebue, Nome and other Seward Peninsula centers kept him busy with the novel Christmas cards.
 Through Mrs. o. s. Weaver of Nome, who sponsored much of his work, Rockwell Kent became interested in him, furnishing him materials and bringing him to the attention of art patrons in the east. Since that time he has enjoyed a favored place among American artists.
 Ahgupuk now lives at his nat iv village at Shishmaref, fill ing as many as possible of the many orders he receives.
