OUR GUESTS, OUR FRIENDS
Need for co-operative effort and advertising of the
wonders of Alaska, its resources and opportunities as
never before, was the keynote of Herbert A. Meyer s talk
to the business men of Seward yesterday.
He declared that the ignorance of the East and even
part of the West in regard to the Territory is still very
dense and that much remains to be accomplished. It must
be a different sort of advertising than pamphlets or arti
cles, he declared, for all places get out such literature and
mere writing cannot convey the wonders of the North.
There is no doubt that Alaska has gained a lasting
friend in the assistant to Secretary Lane and also in the
men who accompany him.
Edwin F. Wendt, member of the engineering board
of the Intei-state Commerce Commission, paid Seward a
high compliment yesterday when he stated that the bod)
of business men gathered to greet the railroad chiefs at
luncheon here yesterday was the largest body of business
men he had had the pleasure of meeting at one time since
arriving in the North.
The compliment is all the better, in that it emphasizes
the fact that Seward’s business men are now pulling to
gether. Officials of the government are often met by
small cliques or alleged and self-appointed leaders who
endeavor to lie the whole show, and the fact that locally
all the represntative men of the town turned out together
pleased both Commission offiicals and members of the vis
iting commission.
Warning not to forget this “pull together” spirit in
the days to come was sounded by A. D. Shepard, of San
Francisco, who pointed out that all the great cities of the
Coast are the result of concerted action. "As the town is
boosted forward as a whole, it will take you with it,” said
Shepard. “Boost and work for Seward and you will ad
vance with the growth your efforts bring forth,” said he.
“My, but this is a wonderful land," said A. D. Shepard.
“You ought to see the barren wastes the pioneers of the
southwest had to overcome and then you would realize
how much you have in your favor in Alaska. With the
government giving assistance in the pioneering up here,
the progress should be rapid."

SEVENTEEN IN AND SEVEN COMING
With the entry of China and Liberia into the war
against Germany, the seventeenth nation has taken up
arms against the horrors of “Kultur,” and seven more
have been so outraged by the Kaiser's ruthlessness that
they have severed friendly relations and may enter the
conflict any day.
Thus, we find Germany, her misguided ally Austria,
the ferocious Bulgar and the unspeakable Turk confronted
by the following nations, named in order of their entry
in the war.
The roll of honor and liberty loving peoples:
Serbia, Russia, France, Great Britain, Montenegro,
Japan, Italy, San Marino, Portugal, Roumania, The Greek
Provisional Government, United States, Cuba, Panama,
Siam, Liberia and China.
Others who have signified their sympathy with the
Allies are Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara
gua, Hayti, and San Domingo.

r ABOUT THE SHOES WOMEN W EAR
Learn something about the shoes you wear—especial
ly women’s shoes.
Shoes that sell for $7 cost about $2.50 to manufacture.
Between producer and user about $4.00 is thus “lost
in transit.”

leather veneering.
Poor leather that once was used only for gloves now
goes into uppers for shoes.
Belly hides of cattle formerly never used in shoemak
ing, now are used extensively.
Grade 3, the poorest leather, is used in women’s shoes.
It is declared that new substitute leather, the compo
sition of which is unknown except to manufacturers, is be
ing used. It is found almost impossible to iron this substi
tute in the treeing departments.
In some soles a mixture of rubber, rags and paper is
used.
Children’s shoes are now made from trimmings” for
merly thrown away.
That war has caused marked shortage in leather is not
denied, but the consumer will still be puzzled over why it is
necessary to pay from $7 to $10 for shoes made of substi
tutes for leather.
The fact that one big shoe company rolled up a profit
of a half million dollars last year may help him find the
reason.—Exchange.
