, SCHOOL NOTES
Boy mushes into Hope—
Arthur Prickett, one of the
High School students, left
Friday morning for Hope,
to spend the holidays with
his people there. He took the
train to Mile ’ 29, and will
mush it over the trail the
rest of the way. Prickett ex
pected to make the trip in
three days, each way, and
packed a sufficient supply ol
boulogne and tea to nourish
body and soul. As he knows
his country trail well, there
is little doubt that he will
• have a good trip , though
making it by himself.
From now on Meryl Towle
will have charge of the
sc hool notes in the paper
Those who know Meryl’s
clever little twist of the pen
a^o know that the school
column will be more satis
factorv ;e the future.

As usual when one step?
into the primary room, it is
like going into anothei
world. Christmas wreaths
are at the window-., a fringe
of miniature Christmas
trees is around the wall ant’
over head a great flock of
red birds s-eem to breatl
their Christmas greeting.
“Peace on earth, good will to
men.”
Over at the school these
days, there is a perfect bust
le of excitement over the
drilling for the Christmas
entertainment. Christmas is
’’e little peoples’day. so
the little people, whom you
are going to see perform at
the Community Tree, and
you are going to hear the
too. They are enjoying it al
ready. A very small McNeer
, boy said that he’d rather
learn a pome (short for po
em) and say it than any
thing else in the world. And
he said it with serious face.
— —
Georgo Phelps, one of the
very material supporters of
the Seward School has again
given his customary gift to
the school. This time it is a
complete s-et of geometric
solids and planes. These are
of particular benefit to the
eighth grade and highschool,
although the smaller people
will also use them.
Mr. Phelps always,uses
very good judgement in his
donations- to the school. He
sends magazines over regu
larly. It will also be rememb
ered that it was he who gave
the beautiful and expensive j
flag which is saved for good I
■ weather and gala occasions, j
Although the school has pri-!
vately thanked Mr. Phelps,1
it wishes to make this public
acknowledgement of his
kindness.
The Gateway Limited left j
1 Anchorage this morning
with more than one hundred
passengers bound for Sew
ard. Every hotel in town will
je crowded to capacity to
night The S. S. Victoria will
arrive in Seward about next
Thursday in ample time for
ihe distribution of all the
Christmas mail.
A telegram received from
Father Markham this morn
ing states that he may be
prevented from coming to
Seward on today’s train ow
ing to unforseen drcu
ces.

The Cable service between

once more established and
starting Monday we hope to
be able to give you all the
really worth while news -of
importance. Since the break
in the cable we have been
handicapped considerably.
At times the news-was for
ty eight hours old. At other
times we simply did not get
it. We’ll have it from now on
unless another shiver puts
the cable out of commission.
TIME NOW RIPE
CHICAGO, Dec., 18— Bishop Wil
bur P . Thirkield, first resident Bis
hop of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Mexico, who recently returned from
that country, declares that Mexico,
first in neighborhood, must be made
first in brotherhood” to the people of
the United States. The Bishop traveled
extensively throughout Mexico during
*he last few months.
|
“The as pect of peace in Mexico to
day is in striking contrast to the brist
ling guns and disturbances evinced in
my visit of two years ago. Then, ev
ery train was guarded by soldiers.
During the last two months I have
traveled extensively through six states I
of Mexico and did not find a soldier j
on guard on any train . * j
“There is no organized opposition
to the resent government and no man
is in sight, around whom any opposi
tion can center. Just as noticeable and
gratifying is the friendly feeling to
ward the United States.

SAM HATED ADVERTISING
Sam Brown hated advertising. He
despised the circulator that was plac
' ed on his desk and he disliked the ads
in the street-cars. He detested the
newspapers that shieked “Bargains
-oday,” and he wished that all adver
tising solicitors were in jhades. Mr.
uiown was an ordinary man, but he
was obstinate. He abhorred publicity
and he knew it. But one night he saw
a great light. He had a dream. And
this is what he dreamed.
That he awoke one morning in a
world that was free from advertising,
fie went to the grocer to purchase
iome breakfast food forthis wife. All
■
-he grocers goods were put up in
plain packages. He couldn’t rememb
jr the name of the stuff, took the
Jrst thing handed to him and got the
iuece from his wife. Out on the street
-he cars shot past, with no names on
,hcm. Sam took a chance and boarded
-he wrong car. Got off at the wrong
1 itreet because the conductor did not
ihout out the street names.
In his office building he enters a
\nanicure shop instead of his own of
fice. There was no sign on the door,
tie had to walk from the second to the
tenth floor, as it was against the rules
for the elevator boy to call the floors.
At his desk he fumed. Where was
Jie mail man. Oh, there was only One
mail a day as the mail was very light
'since advertising- was prohibited.
Where’s the phone book? Not allowed,
its advertising. Bring in the letter
from Smith and Company. The poor
stenographer could not find it as there
were no names on any of the letter
heads.
Sam Brown started to kick. No ad
realising? How could he tell what
show was in ♦own. How could he pick
his favorite brand of cigars without
band around them.
And where was his little cigar cut
ter? Sam started to figure it out And
where was the little silver pencil that
the jeweler presented him with? It
vus a little souvenir when he made
somo purchase. Gone too. All thos?
little deck blotters, mat'h stands, pin
traps, and rulers, all of ♦hose little use
ud gifts from business friends had
been prohibited by the Non Ad-So
ciety. What day was it? No calenlar
Of course not, that has advertising.
That was too much; it infringed
upon Sam’s personal affairs. Sam
thought Maybe there was some goo<.
in advertising. Perhaps he was wrong
and the :».«t of the world was r»g.»r.
Thobe little lokens that he treasured
were gone. He had nevr thought of
those as advertising. They always
come under the head of gifts from ap
’ preciative people to whom he had al
ways given his business. ItY a shame!
there ought to be a law against adver
tising. Something ought to be done at
once. .i
Dinkle, dinkle, dinkle, went the hlaim
clock and Sam Brown awoke agate up-1
on a world fullof advertising. But he
had seen a great igfat, and he had
learned to appreciate advertising.—*
