There will be a great demand for labor in this section
of Alaska this season, greater perhaps than ever before.
Hundreds of men from Kenai Peninsula and from Anchor
age, to the interior, have been called or have lett to en
list in the war service. Their places must be filled on the
railroad, in the stores and in the mines. Men will be need
i d for the construction work on the railroad, the connect
ing of steel with steel; these men being required for all de
partments. W ages are good. Besides the railroad work
there will probably be a fair amount of building and the
canneries nearby will also require much labor. Mining
properties will be developed and these also need extra
men. The outlook of those dt siring work is splendid.
Alaska for Alaskans, the slogan adopted by ('has.
. Sulzer, in his last campaign for Delegate, will undoubt
edly put him back where he is now, as Alaska’s represent
ative at Washington, D. C. Delegate Sulzer is an Alaskan
i,e is not one who is holding onto a Territorial appointive
position nor a man who goes outside the moment he is de
rrated. Delegate Sulzer is an Alaskan and always will
be. He ha s no isms but Alaska—isms—the development
of the territory, the building up ot an Empire in the North
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
Bradstreet’s says that “eighty-four per cent of all the
failures are non-advertisers!”
Which, considering the source of declaration, is pret
ty conclusive proof that advertising pays.
When Bradstreet’s says only Id per cent of business
failures are among advertisers the statement has real sig
nificance.
No business firm ever became truly great except by
the aid of advertising!

ful form of amusement that has ever
been introduced in the North? The
keynote of a Jazz entertainment is
novelty and to achieve this end the

raffles, refrshments, fortune telling,
hand holding and all of the various

rious forms, and it*s a cinch that any
one who spends a quarter to get into
the big show will be pleased and the
best part is that each and every one
who pays a quarter to gain admission
to the Hal! will not only get their
money back but will receive in addi
tion a beautiful door prize.

Like competition, advertising is the “life of trade.”
Without it. in modern days and under modern business
conditions, no commercial or other business concern can
achieve the success that it can with it.
That is axiomatic, as every successful business man
will attest.
Outside, possibly, of personality and integrity, adver
tising is the mightiest force, positive and potent in pres
ent-day commerce and business.

NO. JUST HIGH HEELS!
CHICAGO, March lf>. — How-leg-;

high heels and pointed toes just make j
’em look that way.
Miss Leone Hope of the University
of Chicago so informed the members
of the Chicago Woman’s Club.
Mrs. Homy Hicstand asked if it
would not “be better for every woman,
tall or shor*. if we adopt a bloomei
uniform and dress the legs properly
with the leggings we find so attrac
