TOO BAD.
Since the Barnette gases open
ed in Valdez that stricken city has
been sonding out hurry call's for
help of all kinds. The latest is to
the church, asking for mission
aries to help Valdez missionaries
in their work of saving souls.
When the average Fairbanksan
gets away from home,it is per
fectly safe to figure that he will
break out in something unusual,
and that our hoys who are now
at Valdez, where the price of ev
erything is a little cheaper than
in Fairbanks, should be cutting
loose and causing a little warm
weather in Valdez after the re
cent cold spell is only to be ex
pected. In that quiet little burg,
where everything runs along in
the same groove day after day
the year around, it is only nat
ural that the arrival of the Fair
banks bunch and their activities
in the sleepy town should cause
consternation in the breast of the
Valdezian, and that they should
cry aloud for help.
Unless the arrival ol District
Attorney Crossley changed things
the seductive and erratic little
slot machine is stiH running in
Valdez, and coming from a closed
town our boys have probably been
flaying the Valdez slot machines
from dawn until dawn, getting
action upon the nickles they re
ceive in change in Valdez, and
which their training causes them
to look upon as excess baggage.
Then, too, drinks are two .for a
-quarter in Valdez, with other lux
uries in proportion, slid that our
boys should show I heir hospital
ity is not unnatural. The sudden
access of something doing in Val
dez has caused a tumult in that
place, and help is wanted to hold
the town down, until after our
boys have left there.
We have no fears for the safe
ty of Valdez. We know our boys
so well that we know they will
not exceed the limit more Ilian
•they feel Uia^^iey absolutely are
compelled V^^pd a little touch
of high life is a good thing for
out boys and for the Valdezians.
In the end they will both settle
down again, not much the worse
for their experience.—Fairbanks

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
(<Facts Are Facts.”
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to j
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. j
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home j
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper- j
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products. '
