What would be a very great aid to the people of Sew
ard just at this time of the year would be a title, dry, clean
walk for quite a distance running into the hills or woods.
Just now the people of Seward have uo place to enjoy a
really good walk. If you walk on the outlying streets they
are muddy until you get to the wagon road at the nead of
the bay. But the proper sort of walk would be a neatly
pressed one that would tempt the teet. Just now we are
having the city plastered with prohibition placards but if
mothers ami fathers and wives and the rest were wise
they would spend the placard money in finding a way to
entice the boys and men into the open air.
Talking about those placards; they surely contain
some strong arguments against the evils ot strong drink,
but one may be permitted to resent one placard which
shows how puppies born of alcoholic mothers were miser
able wretches. No matter how* “dissolute" a man might
be and how lost to all sense of shame, etc., he would rather
he inclined to vote against any party that places him in
the same category as a mama canine. hat would a
woman think if men showed pictures of a lot of kittens
presided over by an alcoholic mother cat. Go easy on us.
You’re hurting. The only bright spot in all those placards
is that the alcoholic maternal canine suggests a gay dog.
Today a great strike was scheduled in Canada and
Premier Borden appeals to the patriotism ot the men to
refrain from striking. It is one more indication ot the
fact that with the growth of the power and restlessness
of the workers the sentiment known as love of country is
fading. It was and is a beautiful sentiment, one of those
sentiments which added a little halo to an otherwise pro
saic existence, but it is a question whether the beauty add
ed to life by it repays for the slaughter which the w orld is
now witnessing. Who knows that this loss of patriotism
on the part of the vast working population of the earth
does not mean the first nail in the coffins of wars?
It is difficult to realize that we are only two months
away from Christmas here in an Alaskan town and still
the ground is bare and beautiful. We have had no frost
yet that was severe enough to harden the surface of the
roads. You know, this almost astonishes ourselves. We
sometimes actually accept the descriptions of Alaska that
we hear outside or that come in from outside. We wear
coats and light fires sometimes just because we think we
ought to do so in Alaska. After all there may be a good
deal in Christian Science.

WAR KEEPS $300,000,000
AT HOME IN 0. S.
When you consider the effect of the
European war upon the United
States, don’t overlook the fact that Tt
is saving us an amount estimated at
$300,000,000 a year ordinarily spent
by American tourists in Europe. That
money is now being spent in this
country. And see what it means.
Every dollar of it is turned over—
passes from one person to another—
about once every 40 days, n an aver
age. There are some 25,000,000
families in the United States, count
ing less than 5 persons to the family.
This $.500,000,000 kept at home means
an average of $12 per family spent
in this country and respent for the
purchase of American labor. Much
of it is still spent for pleasure, as it
was when spent in Europe, but Amer
ican labor and industry are getting a
large measure of benefit from it. In
this one item can be found no small
part of our present partial return of
prosperity.—Ex.
WHY FARMER BUYS BY MAIL
Recently a merchant of Natchez
happened to see a farmer receive a
box at the depot and noticed that rt i
was from a mail order house. Hcj
also noticed that the goods were right 1
in his line and the same as he carried J
for years. He immediately approach-;
ed the farmer and said:
“1 could have sold you the goods
\ou have here for less money than
the Chicago house and saved you the
freight.”
“Then why didn’t you do so? ’ said
the farmer. “I have taken the local pa
per for a year and have not seen a line
about your selling these or any other
goods. This mail order house sends
advertising matter to me asking for
my trade, and it gets it. If you have
any brains, why don’t you put them
in the paper so we can see what they
are?”—Natchez (Miss) Democrat.
