THE COUNTRY PAPER
As an advertising force, the country paper is re
garded by many prominent manufacturers as the lead
ins medium in America. Although theie aie,still many
who hove not discovered its possibilities, it does hold an
unique position among periodicals. Awriter has listed
a number of the advantages of the community paper.
His points follow.
“At one sitting the average readers scan all the
pares of the local paper. No other publication has
all its pages read as carefully by so large a percentage
of its readers.
“There is no publication that reaches so many fam
ilies in a given trade territory as does the local paper.
No other is read by as many people from each subscriber.
The whole family reads it.
“An advertisement in the local paper backs up the
sales effort of the local retailer far more effectively than
any other medium.”
For these reasons the country paper is able to
serve, not only the advertisers, but every worthy cause
for the betterment of the entire country.
Speaking of the good, old jury system which should
have passed out with the first tallow dip, if a man has
“seen nothin’, felt nothin’ ’’then he’s a good candidate
for a jury to pass on the life or death of his fellow man.
Jurors grew out of old England at a time when kings
and dukes put their feet on a piece of meat and growled.
Owing to the fact that Jiet fishermen, limited to 25
fathom nets 600 feet apart, were compelled to lift them
during the trap-closing period, many netters did not
make profit on the season just closed.
There is just about as much chance of getting hon
est enforcement of prohibition in this country to curb
the growing power of the bootleggers as there is to
cut down tariff which guards the swelling wealth of
the protectionists.
And those old, frost-bitten, ice worm chasers,
hootch hounds and machula mashers would be just
as much surprised to see what we’ve,done up here since
they left us as will those clod-hopping sod-busters from
Minnesota and Illinois jungles who first get a glimpse
of our railroads and highways.
. Love’s young dream is great while it lasts even
if it does end in a nightmare.
Attorney General Davis of Florida believes that
even a man in jail has some rights. When a prisoner
complained that he was being annoyed by his wife the
official ruled: “There is no law which gives a man’s
wife the right to molest him while he is enjoyng himself
in peace in the county jail ”
Speaking of the delegate, a subscriber writes in, we
sometimes find that the hen that laid the smallest egg
lets out the biggest cackle.
God certainly must be with Aimee Semple McPher
son. There’s one gal that has eaten her cake and has it
too.
Anything of wood is appropriate for a wooden
wedding present, excepting wood alchool.
Dictator Stalin of Russia has ordered the proletar
iat to retain their whiskers until the craze for “rats’
“switches” and “beau-catcher” curls again hits the fem
inine contingent. Thus each bolshie carries a grub stake
hanging to the prow of his countenance
The latest game in Manchuria appears to be “Rail
road, railroad; who’s got the railroad?”

jca^bou, moose and tomatoes, and
! defied Alaska farmers to compete |
with his home town, Walla Walla, j
in producing tomatoes. “I have to |
admit you produce vegetables and
strawberries at least a close sec- !
ond to what we produce at Walla !
Walla,” he stated.
“Mr. Dickenson and Mr. Bu
chanan are the speech makers
of this troupe; Mr. Sandlin and I
are the fillers-in. I am mighty;
glad to be with you.”
* JAMES P. BUCHANAN
Congressman Buchanan from
Texas, had an axe to grind. “On
this entire trip,” he said, “ever
since we left the civilized staate of
Washington, all members of the
party have been wishing every
calamity possible upon my poor
head. One hoped that a Kodiak
bear would eat me up, another
wished that I would become des
perately seasick, and still another
desired greatly that I fall over
board. Everyone has been against
me, and I felt as if I tread the
path alone.
“However, I found a fellow Tex
an, and he’s mayor of your town.
(Mr. Buchanan recited a poem at
this point about the Alaska Rail
road, ending with ‘They wiggled in
and they wiggled out”).
He also interjected a few com
plimentary remarks directed at
General Manager Otto F. Ohlson
of the Alaska Railroad. “What I
wanted to do, when I came to
Alaska, was to kill a Kodiak bear,
but to my sorrow I discovered
the season is closed. I thought,
when I came to Alaska, that I
was coming to a country part na
tive, part wolverine, part wolf,
part eagle, and the balance Ko
diak bear and polar bear. So I
brought along my 45 six-shooter.
(Another poem was recited here
about Kodiak bear, which is pro
tected by Uncle Sam.)
“I believe, after bur short trip,
that Alaska has great potentiality,
and that Alaska must be started
upon a firm foundation. The basis
of agriculture produced is suffi
cient to support the demands of
all Alaska and is one of the foun
dations for progress; all others
are as nothing.
: *“The encouragement and devei- |
opment of your vast resources
and of other individual ones,
mining, fishing, fur and forests, t
these together will make a great j
'country. You are the pioneers. If j
you stick, you will make it a
'country. (Another clever and ap
! propriate illustrative poem per
taining to a dog and her pups
1 was given, and ended by saying
‘Tuff it out if you can’.)
! “I feel kindly toward Alaska and
jwhen your problems are presented (
| to me with facts supported by1
j reason, they will have my favor- j
| able consideration. Colonel Ohlson, |
| the manager of our railroad here,
j is the right man in the right
place. You can see his sincerity in
his eyes.”
L. J. DICKENSON
Chairman Dickenson of the ag
riculture sub-committee, from Io
wa, who had been declared previ
ously as the chief orator among
the visitors, was reserved as the
last speaker.
“I have listened to the speeches
of my conferees throughout this
entire journey, and with few ex
ceptions they have said practically
the same thing. It is now up to
me to make the kind of speech j
that should be made. This com- j
mittee listens to all appropriations
land in the appropriations bill now
| before us we find several items
| pertinent to Aaska, so therefore
I we decided to obtain a better view
point of Alaska, and visit you. I
■might add here that I am not go
ring to organize a club or try to
vindicate the Republican party,
j (Mr. Buchanan, Democrat, let go
j a fast one at the speaker.) The
i matter of how much federal aid
and money is extended is a serious
one. The treasury is not solely a
drawing acount. Alaska, of course,
is a new country, and I want to
assure you that there is no preju- j
dice at Washington against Alas- I
ka. . ,
“The Alaska Railroad is going :
to be a paying institution within a j
few years; the railroad was put up j
here to help develop the Territory, j
and the railroad is coming into its |
own.
“The future development of Al
aska will be along the railroad
belt, and Seward is bound to be
one of the pivot points.
“One change I have noticed is
that where prospectors’ camps for
merly got up the mountain side
and valleys, the big interests are
now taking hold. Juneau is per
forming a marvelous thing with
low-grade ore and in Fairbanks,!
after driving over the hills and '
viewing the deserted prospectors’:
camps, I found a $15,000,000 com
pany working the gravels with big
machines. Alaska has passed the
day of the individual development
and it is now in the hands of
large corporations, and develop
ments of this nature are perma
nent and lasting.
“No rules and regulations for
your fisheries would result in tem
porary gain for individuals, but
under the administration of Fish
