SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 28,1916
In every community there is a remarkable sameness
in the social life. No matter whether you live in Europe
or America you will iind the people of similar communi
ties very similar in customs ami manners and conduct.
A public dance in a small town in Texas is just about the
same as a public dance in an Alaskan town or a Belgian
or Dutch town. Of course, a town of the size of Seward
in Europe or any long-settled country is more rustic. Al
aska towns and all new towns in the west have attracted a
livelier, more intelligent, more venturesome, brighter,
more traveled people than one can find in towns of equal
size that have been settled for a generation or two. One
day Seward will be very much larger and very much more
rural aiut very much more “narrow” than now, but at
present, perhaps, its social life is about on a par with the
social life of a normal town of eight or ten thousand peo
ple in oilier countries. This does not mean that there is as
much oi tins “life but that so far as it goes the people
and their ways are the same.
ilie most amazing tiling about this world is its same
ness. If you lived more or less permanently in a dozen
towns in different countries and were in a position where
some sort oi observation was necessary the predominant
impression that would be gained by you is that each com
munity is a duplicate of the other. Y ou will find the same
little social idiosyncracies. You will find the man of one
trade just like me man of the same trade in another
town. 1 ou w ill find a shoemaker when you go to another
town who makes you think you met him in some previous
existence because he has just the same characteristics as
the shoemaker vou knew in vour former town. And so it is
•r *
v\ mi uiv storekeeper, the waiter, the cook, the doctor, the
attorney. \ ou will imd eacii community having about the
same number of thieves, saints, belies, church workers,
social climbers, embittered social failures, the same idlers,
male and female, who are social ornaments because they
have the tune, tile same preachers, the same little ambi
tious oik s wno want to lead in clubs and organizations oi
ail kimis, and the same number of each in each place, the
same “leading citizens”, the same sort of newspapers, the
same political cliques and social cliques, the same hatreds,
the same loves, the same aspiring “orators,” the same
shining vocalists, the same village drunks, the same vil
lage reformers, the same aspiring “poets” and prose writ
ers, the same gossip, the same everything.
Never let anyone hear vou knock the characteristics
% *
of the people of the town you live in. It will only show
that your experience of communities has been limited.
They are all the same. Oh, Mercy; how much alike they
are! __

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow' lies near Bear I^ake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow' may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow' is situated just this side of the Bungalow'
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low' that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low' as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow' is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow' is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIC. & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
