FOR PRESIDENT, FRANK B. WILLIS.
Oenator Frank B. Willis of Ohio is the most important
^ official of National importance who has visited Alaska
since President Harding came on his history making trip
four years ago.
It is not alone in his capacity as United States Sena
tor from one of the great States that Senator Willis takes
rank as one of the outstanding figures in the Senate.
States larger than Ohio have been represented by small
men.
But purely by virtue of his own ability, character,
and achievements, Senator Willis is one of the real lead
ers in the Senate, and a statesman of National vision.
Before his election to the Senate, he served with dis
tinction as Representative in Congress and as Governor
of Ohio.
President Coolidge’s announcement that he will not
be a candidate for another term leaves a clear field in the
next republican National convention for the nomination
of a., candidate who could win triumphantly on the
strength of his own merits and record and on his unques
tioned fitness for the great office of President.
The Gateway takes sincere pleasure, our countrymen
and fellow7 citizens, in nominating Frank B. Willis of Ohio
as the republican candidate for President of the United
States of America in the campaign of 1928.
SEWARD, THE “HUB OF THE WHEEL”
Ceward should howl long and lustily if they wish the
^ Bureau of Education headquarters established here.
At least so goes the rumor. Strenuous, combined efforts
on the part of Anchorage organizations and individuals
are leaving no stone unturned to have the offices move
there from Seattle. Dame rumor again.
Juneau is confident the office will be established in
that fair city.
Maybe a lot of “hullaballoo” might bring results but
in the opinion of the majority of Seward’s citizens they
are content to leave it up to the judgement of these de
partment gentlemen who have the matter of removal in
hand.
A woman novilist goes as far as to predict that be
fore long the wife will be the wage earner, while the hus'
band wall do the domestic tasks, even throwing the cat out
at night. Possibly so, but who’s going to take care of the
baby?
Probably Cain might Have been a better boy if Mother
Eve had been up on child psychology.

PRODUCTION OF WOOL
LNRGEST SINCE 1911
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13. (ff>) j
—Wool production in the United i
i States for 1927 is estimated to be the j
largest since 1911, according to a re- j
port issued July 23 by the Bureau of I
Agricultural Economics. The full j
test of the report follows:
The amount of wool shorn in the : j
United States in 1927 is 11,477,000 j j
pounds greater than the amount ! j
shorn in 1926, accordng to the preli- i
rninary estimate of the Department \
of Agriculture. The total produc- j
tion is estimated at 272,453,000 j
pounds, compared with 260,976,000 j
in 1926 and is the largest since 1911. I
The increased production this year '
over last is duo to the increase in :
number of sheep shorn, which more
than offset the decrease in the aver
age weight per fleece. The number
shorn is reported as 35,642,000 in 1927 j
and 33,548,000 in 1926. The average j
weight per fleece was 7.6 in 1927 and j
7.8 last year.
The increase in the number of j
sheep shorn is general throughout 1
the country, all the important sheep j
states, except Montana, showing j
more this year than last. In the i
western group of States, where about j
60 per cent of the wool is produced, j
the average weight per fleece de- j
creased from 8.1 pounds in 1926 to I
7.8 pounds in 1927. This accounts I
for the decrease in the United States j
average, although there was a slight i
increase in the southern States.

PATIENTS INSISTS DIE
DONKEY TO BED WHEN I.
ENTERING HOSPITAL ■
_
LONDON, Aug. 13. (&)—'When it’s
bed-time at Peshawar, on the north
west border of India, there’s a native
who goes to sleep with his donkey.
Yes, every night, not just on the D. T.
nights.
At least, so says Miss M. Clarke,
medical missionary at Peshawar, who
has arrived in London to tell her ex
perience among the natives. The na
tive in question recently went to a
hospital.
“I know that I’m very ill, and I
know I‘ve got to come into the hos
pital,” the native said to Miss Clarke,
“but I’m not coming in unless my
donkey can come, too. My donkey
has slept with me for 15 years, and
I’m not going to be separated from
him now.”
Miss Clarke said the donkey did go |
to the hospital with his master.
“When a native comes to be treat
ed at the hospital,” she related fur
ther, “all the family insist on coming,
too. A doctor not only finds the pa
tient, but five or six of his family ■
and friends in the bed with him. Of
ten the nurses cannot make out who
are patients and w'ho are friends.
“Frequently the natives insist on
their live stock coming in with them.
The hospital at Peshawar was once
asked to take in a camel,and it is
common for roosters and hens to be
put under the patient’s bed, tied to
the bedposts.”
Search for the little, known blue
goose, and study of other birds that
frequent the north,are objectives of
an expidition of scientists who have
fitted up a 53 foot schooner for a
stay of several months among the I
fastnesse of northern Labrador and
Baffin bay.
