SMOKING
Smoking is a fine hobby-or exercise for one who
doesn’t care to eat much, says the Brooklyn Lagle. 1 here
is no better way of cutting down the grocery bill than
plenty of smoking and the man who makes it a point to
smoke enough through the day wilt find that a potato or
a handful of beans will appease his hunger in the evening.
With food prices high it would be an economy tor every
member to take up smoking. Bass out a tew cigars to
the children when they beg for something to eat between
meals. The thrifty housewife will find that cigars would'
be better for the children than a pipe, as they could hard
ly be taught to care for a pipe projterly. To keep a pipe
cleaned up and in good trim requires lots of time and at
tention. The man who goes in for pipe smoking can t ex
pect to make the fires or shovel the snow away from the
front door this winter. He will need all his spare time
for his pipe, to^hake it down and carry out the ashes.
Twice during the past few days have the citizens ol
Seward been called upon to pay their respects to those who
have passed on. Today’s services over an esteemed citi
zen and an officer of the law gave evidence ot the appre
ciation of the man in life and the honor due when he died
in what he believed to be his act for law s betterment.
The members of the local unit of the Seward guards
greet the arrival of Corporal Edgar 0. Williams with
great enthusiasm. Corp. Williams is an officer, every
inch of him, and the drilling and instructions he can give
the local unit is the best that could be attained from any
source. It now rests with the unit members to show their
support of the military division of the United States in at
tending all drills and earnestly endeavoring to follow the
teaching of the instructor.
The get-together noonday luncheons of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce should prove to be one of the
most profitable little boosting harmonies in this com
munity. It is a time when views can be aired; when ex
pressions can l>e made; diseases, as they may be termed,
can be explained, and the prosperity medicine adminis
tered.
At Seattle, at Portland, at San Francisco, at Juneau,
at Ketchikan and Cordova, they are all talking favorably
about Seward and the surrounding section. All Seward
has to do is to make good with these bits with a capital G
They do what no
other cigarette
ever did before;
they satisfy— and
yet they’re MILD.

Captain T. M. Ward, affable and an efficient official,
should be the proudest of men—for he has been praised
by his associates and remembered in a most remarkable
manner. All citizens deeply regret his departure from
Seward.
The rosy report from the Hope section is only the
’ first of many to be received from places adjacent to Sew
| ard and which means another round in the successful lad
der of prosperity and stability.
About the most cheerful news which wlil be chron
icled in Seward this week will be “The cable is up.”
‘ The Crown Prince has rebuked the President of the
United States. Well, Woody needs a good laugh anyway
and very probably he is having a good time chuckling.
Perhaps King Gustav hasn’t noticed what happened
to the former King of Greece.
Lord Grey, in a London speech, strongly intimated
that the United States would have the final word when it
i comes to a peace issue. Uncle Sam has the last word in
everything—and there is no come back when he talks.
