BARRACK NOTES
The gymnasium is completed ;tf la it
The Anchorage soldiers held their
first entertainment in the new build
ing. Mechanic Williams the all round
^avonder proved that in addidtion to,
many accomplishments he has already j
displayed, he is also an A-l announcer. |
First he introduced Mayor David
who delivered a speech to the soldiers
and over four hundred visitors. Then
he announced that Lieut Hervey
would deliver a shoi t speach. The boys
have heard the Lieut speak many
times at Inspection and Guard Mount
but never before did they hear a talk
compared to this one.
Boxing was the next tnmg on tne
program. Walloping Kelly, the de
tachments* favorite, K. O’d. Pvt. Gree
no from Matanuska, in the second
round . At first one would think that
both fighters were determined to tear
each other into shreds but the wear
soon began to show on Pvt. Greeno
who took the count in the second.
m Other bouts were as follows:— Fox
9
received the decision over Mabic. Law
son knocked out Main in the fourth,
while Srgt. McDonald who was match
ed with Citizen smedley, gave his op
ponent two punches in the first round
that decided the citizen in regard to
comming back for seconds.
The wrestling matches were also
interesting. Guannieri received the de
V cission over young Fox. Fox put up a
pretty good stand but was defeated.
Moar^wrerttarefth DujkiT'Botfc qnft
by mutual consent. The bout was con
sidered a draw.
After the athletic events were
completed, the visitors were entrtain
ed with dancing. A dainty lunch con
sisting of cake and punch was served.
Dat a boy Kelly. We knew you
would live up to your name.
We would think that, the boxing pro
duced enough punch. Why* serve it
with the refreshments?
Thou. Johnson our movie hero is
with <»« for the time being.

DANCING PARLOR DELUDE
* . •
Tonight is the opening night of
“Melody Hall.” The old saying that
“Good things come in small packages,”
holds true with “Melody HalL”
The Shallerer's proprietors of the
Alaska Shop have dedicated this mi na
ture dance hall to the people of Sew
ard. It is a credit to the town. Those
who love to dance can do so to their
hearts content on the perfect floor of
“Melody Hall”. The use of the hall is
absolutely free. The music furnished'
by a wonderful graphophone does not
cost a penny. You will be welcome al
ways. Ask your best girl if she likes
ice cream or a fancy soft drink. Take
ier to the Alaska Shop and after she
fas refreshed herself ask her to dance
with you on the wax floor of Melody
hall. You'll never have to ask her
,wice. The floor will accommodate ten
couples. The music because of the low
ceiling sounds soft and dreamy. The
pictures and decorations are pleasing
and restful to the eye. We predict that
Melody Hall will eventually become
me of the livliest spots in Seward.
There is no other place in Alaska just
ike it It is in a class all by itself.
3ut why try to boost it. Visit the
place, give it the once over, fox trot
or waltz on the smooth waxed floor
end you will be convinced that the hall
s all and more than its name sug
gests. The things metropolitan are
slowly bflt surely coming to Seward
.Ve make progress along the right
hies. The next thing that will fill a
long felt want with the Seward peo
ple particularly the men folks is a
'irst class bowling alley.
HOLDING WHEAT

West, statistician -at the Chicagc
Board of Trade, reports, Corn receipts
here are runningltigher than last year
tc said.
Owing to the light amount of wl
coming in to Chicago very little ad
/antage has been taken here of the
preferential lake rates to the east re
ently established, Mr. West said. He
He reported that lake business in
grain this year from Chicago was very
'small. It has been 17 years, he remark

LITTLE ROCK, Aik., Dec., 22—
'Responsible sentiment in this state is
running strongly against night rising
which has been undertaken in this and
cotton growing states to prevent the
ginning and marketing of cotton at
the present low price. Representative
planters, bankers and business men
feel strongly that this lawlessness is
giving the south a “black eye’*.
At a recent meeting of the Arkan
sas division of the American Cotton
Association here, nightriding was con
demned as an act of gross ignorance.
Gov . Brough has taken a vigorous
stand against night riding and he has
had furth^ support, among others,
from Claude Fitzpatrick, president of
the Arkansas Bankers Association. All
the forces of the state and local gov
ernments in Arkansas are now coop
erating to prevent further lawlessness
in the cotton ginning centers.
This counter movement is believed
to be doing much to stop the activi
ties of night riders. Maas meetings
have been hid in many towns and the
co-operation of the citizens has been
proffered officers in maintaining or
der.
Acts of violence for which night
riders have been given credit in Ark
ansas have taken various forms. In
addition to the burning of gins, ware*
houses and other property, farmers
who attempted to market their cotton
have been threatened with death or
severe punishment, and in some cases
have taken various forms. In addition
co the burning of gins, warehouses and
other property, f aim era who attempt
ed to market their cotton have been
.hreatened with death or severe pun
ishment, and in some cases have been
badly maltreated. Negro families have
been intimidated and driven from their
homes because they sought employ
ment or worked as cotton pickers.
Hundreds of cotton gins in various
sections of the state have been posted
with warnings against continuing to
buy and gin cotton, the threatened
penalties for not heeding the warning
including destruction of the plants and
forfeiture of the lives of .the owners.
In one country eight men now are
awaiting action of the grand Jury on a
charge of setting fire to a ginnery,
and in another section of the state
three white farmers have been sen
tenced to a year's imprisonment and
assessed heavy fines for intimidation
of negro cotton pickers.
