HI SY DAYS COMING
Big orders for material supplies herald days of great
activity ous of Seward this year.
A million feet of bridge timbers will clutter up quite a
bit of ground down in the material yard and there will
be work for a good many bridge crews putting them in
place for there is a demand that the section of railroad be
tween here and Girdwood lie put in readiness for heavy
traffic at the earliest date.
Thousands of tons of supplies are needed further
down the arm to complete the line between Girdwood and
Potter creek and the road is needed to put these supplies
as near the work as possible.
SELDOVIA *S NEED
The following terse bit of comment from Seldovia
speaks volumes:
“We have no newspaper in Seldovia, but there are
enough gossip and rumors to keep the air warm on tne
coldest days.”
Certainly, if there was a fairly edited newspaper over
there which told the facts worth commenting upon it
would provide other things for the people to discuss and
it would stop about nine-tenths of the gossip.
THOSE ENGLISH SHELL BIDS
The explanation of President Grace, of the Bethle
hem Steel Company, for the fact that Hadfield’s, Limited,
of Great Britain, were able to underbid American muni
tion makers to so great an extent on the recent inquiry
for naval shell prices, certainly seems plausible enough.
Mr. Grace remarked that inasmuch as the British navy
had been in action but little in the war, it was t t ^ 1^ ^
ceivable that the British government had a considerable
surplus of naval shells which it might be willing to
have its manufacturers “dump” on our market and turn
the proceeds into shells for use on the battle field.
The above explanation from the New \ ork Post does
not explain, for since then the British government has en
jioned Hadfield’s. limited from filling the American order
for shells “so long as the exigencies of war shall continue.”
THE HEATHEN INDICTMENT
What is to be said to the heathen? An official of
China, discussing the millions that his country is to spend
for preparedness, says:
“It is the misfortune of China that your Christian na
tions have forced upon us the staggering costs of self
defense.”
For thousands of years peace and honesty were the
cardinal principles of the Chinese people, in their religion
and in their social and national life. It is only within com
paratively recent years that China learned anything
about a banking system. Dishonesty meant such absolute
ostracism that suicide was preferable to existence in dis
honor. But the nations decided to uplift the heathen,

got to go into the war business, if the Christian nations

DON’T KNOCK
Don’t knock! And above all things, don’t use a ham
mer when vou are away from home. Nobody loves a knock
er. He is despised by home-town folks, and strangers
look upon him with suspicion. He is an undersirable,
without ambition, without civic pride, without scruples.
) He is lacking in all those qualities which every good citi
zen possesses.
Be a booster, especally when talking about your home
enterprises and home prospects. Everybody loves a
booster. He is a popular fellow at home and welcome
among srtangers. He is a desirable citizen, full of entei
prise, proud of his home town and consideiate of Ins
neighbors. The knocker never gets anywhere; the boost
er always gets there, and he is usually the first to arrive.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn.—(Special)
—Mrs. Carrie Bennett Pollard, “the
Berlin beauty,” graduate of Vassar
and noted beauty of Civil War days,
who vowed to disgrace her name, is
dead here in poverty. She was 7tl
years old. At one time she was re
puted to have almost $1,000,000. For

known figure because of her efforts
to live up to her vow made when her
father objected to her marriage to a

Blacksmits or Gardeners?
The other day a blacksmith was
arguing with a gardener as to which
was the first trade in the world.
The gardener said it was gardening
and quoted from Genesis: “Adam
was put into the Garden of Eden to
till it.”
“Ah,” said Pat, who had stuck up^
for his own trade. “Who made the
spades ?”
Again the Power of Money
A deaf man was being married, and|
the parson asked the usual question:
“Do you take this woman for your
lawful wife?”
“Eh?” said the deaf man.
“Dou you take this woman for your
lawful wife?” This time a bit louder.
i
The groom seemed to get angry.
“Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “She <
ain’t so awful. I’ve seen wuss thaa
her that didn’t have as much money.”
