WHEN THINGS SEEM WRONG
It is one of the misfortunes of the
times that the great forces for good
in the world are not as noisy and do
not attract as much attention as the
forces for evil. The average Seward
man, if he does not dig below the sur
face of the current news a little is apt
to get an imperfect impression of
facts. Those who stor up hatred and
array nation against nation are mak
ing a lot of noise these days, but the
la-go number who meet to promote
letter relations among all people got
hr tie attention.
Underneath the wickedness and woe
in *his country is the great smooth
current of goodness and gladness.
This includes a great majority of our
people too, and probably of most oth
er countries at the present time. Those
who rave and would destroy huanity
h*m brotherhood are as powerless as
waves to control the ocean’s depths.
There are a few traffic accidents, but
ihe great stream of travel goes on dai
ly and nightly, most of it without
harm to anybody. A few persons vio
late the law and are punished, but
what comfort there is in the thought
that the greatest majority of our
people are law-abiding and that they
mingle every day without violating
any of the rights of others.
These are the things to think of
when you read or hear news that is
dark or depressing. Just remember
that the vast majority of people in
this country are safe-and- sane, hon
est to goodness Americans.
NEW YEARS’ EVE AND THE
FIREMEN'S BALL.
it was really a wonderful affair.
Practically every person, young and
old who could dance was on the floor.
Dozens of couples fox trotted and
waltzed frem 9 P. M. until the wee
-mall hours of the New Years. Gor
geous and bizarre costumes mingled
with weird and fantastic make ups.
Old Sour Doughs one stepped with Bo
Peep, staid matrons cavorted with
clowns, men and women in evening
dress mingled with the various char
acters.
Kiddies had the time of their young
lives. They were dressed with the same
attention to detail as their parents.
Little girls were little boys and
visar versa. One little Japanese girl
was dressed in a perfect oriental cos
tume. Little Miss Yuka Jago would
have taken a prize handily if there had
been such a thing as a prize offered
for the best little girl in fancy
costume. Miss Helen Balderston as a
Scotch Highland lassie was a perfect
specimen of the girls of Harry Laud
ers country. And the unanimous ap
plause which filled the hall when Miss
Kodna Johnson was awarded the prize
for the best woman waltzer showed
plainly that the large crowd fully
agreed with the judges. Miss Johnson
is a dainty little woman. An expert
and finished dancer who thoroughly
under stands the art of graceful move
ment on the waxed floor. The Blisses
McIntosh in their Buster Brown cos
tumes lent color and life to the ball.
The most beautiful dressed lady, Mrs.
Frank Towle, was not awarded first
/ |
! prize simply because she was not there
! when the prizes were distributed. She
' arrived late. Tom Haines without a
question of doubt deserved the prize
awarded him for being the best su<
j tained character. His puttied nose and
I his hirstute adornment of real caribou
jhair, coupled with his costume made
one think of Louie Mann in the Tele
phone Girl. His acting was so natural
i that most of the people who saw him
i
! have been wondering ever since just
j when he landed. “Miss” Hanson was a
! scream. A perfect 36. The grace of
» her movement was similar to that of a
j halibut just removed from the hook,
i A past master in the art of shimmying
as she glided and slid and tripped on
•' the waxed floor. Most of the young
fellows and many of the older ones
found it difficult to keep their eyes
on their real girls or wives. T'w&s
Miss Hansons first visit to Sewa d.
She was welcomed with open ai ms.
i The Misses Leslie . and Ellsworth
worked the relay stunt on the piano
and the Rev. Bill Mooney, minister of
Cable News was the drummer de-luxe.
Rev. Bill’s thoughts at times roamed
to far away Hawaii, thus the reason
for the Turn Turn music and Hula Hu- ,
la melodies that mingled with the re
I
1 gular. Word was received this morn-1
1
; «’ng that Mrs. Leslie would receive an
! additional prize from the Aunt Jem
ima Pan Cake Co. Itwas some ball and
| the Firemen deserve full credit for the
| perfect way every detail was arranged

I Monday, January the 3rd, 1921. The
New Year has a good start. New'
, Year’s Day was an ideal, sunny day.
■ The old North wind started to blow
late Saturday night. At ten o’clock
last night it had reached a velocity al
most equal to a gale. It shook every
building n Seward. It was fierce. With
the wind came a drop in the tempera
ture. The thermometer this morning
1 was hovering around the zero mark.
The coldest morning we have had
this winter. At Fairbanks it is 60 be-1
low. A high wind is blowng at An- !
chorage. Real winter w’eather has ar-:
rived. I
f
The Malamute Club was the New !
Year Day feature in Seward. Every
member, wearing a stiff hat called in
a bunch on practically every person
in Seward. They barked , howled and |
yapped with joy, but never growled or I
whined. The Malamute Club is made j
up of thorobred pups and dog$, all j
broken to harness and all pullers for j
the things in life which bring happi- j
ness and fun. Wherever they a^e there j
is something doing all of the time. A '
happy-go- lucky bunch of fellows w ho;
never hang crepe. A new institution in j
Seward, yet in its infancy, but with J
every promise of becoming one of the j
leading joy producers of the Gateway \
City. We wish ’em all a Happy and j
prosperous New Year.

Fashion is to style what strategy
is to tactics; w hat feminism is to suf
fragism; what dress,to become more
specific, is to clothes, and what* cloths
are to woolen stockings and georget
tes.
A man is as oldas the songs he*
sings or one might add as the airs he
wears.
A Milwaulkee Public Museum has
put among its exhibits two bottles of
beer (light and dark), and a plate of
pretzels. It should be a treat to future
generations.
