PROMINENT boston citizen
and wife say hello
TO LOCAL FOLK
1
Alaska has another staunch and .
sincere booster in the person of
Arthur H. Merritt, director of the
Franklin P. Shumway Company,
of Boston, Mass. Expounding in
glowing terms the Territory’s
grandeur and of the hundreds of
beautiful pictures he had photo
graphed, Mr. Merritt, accompanied
by Mrs. Merritt, paused briefly in
Seward Friday enroute home after
a second perfect tour of the In
terior regions.
In McKinley National Park and
Fairbanks considerable time was
spent very pleasantly and while
enroute North they enjoyed the
hospitality of the White Pass &
Yukon Route and the Canadian j
National Railways. Mr. Merritt |
stated Alaska can offer to the j
tourist and traveler the finest seen- j
ery, both water and by land, in
probably the world, of which he
has traversed most parts.
-\ Merritt is acquiring a repu- j
union of national renown through j
lectures and his services are in j
constant demand, not only by ;
prominent organizations, educa- j
tional institutions and churches, J
but by the Canadian and United •
States governments which have, at j
various times, assigned him to j
special tasks of photographing j
and writing of outstanding scen
ics. Among his lectures are “The
Wonderland of the Far West and
North,” “Japser, Alaska, The Yu
kon and Klondike,” “The Scenic
National Parks of Conada,” “The
3eautiful Maritime Provinces,” j
“The National Parks of the United j
States and Canada,” “The Maine
Woods—The Allagash River.”
Each of Mr. Merritt’s lectures
are illustrated by at least 175 slides
beautifully colored by a well-known !
artist.
In addition to these manifold '
activities which has long been his |
hobby, Mr. Merritt is a full-fledged i
newspaper man and though long j
ago left permanent positions with- |
in the Fourth Estate, continues to |
to write hundreds of columns of j
copy and editorials for leading i
Eastern papers and national maga_
zines. The Franklin L. Shumway
Company is the oldest advertising
agency in New England.
Though in his fifties. Mr. Mer
ritt displays the enthusiasm and
enery of a man around 21; in fact,
he leaves one with the im
pression of being a human dyn
amo. As to rteurning to Alaska,
that is entirely in the hands of—
| well, he didn’t know, but he might
be back and then again he mjiy be
in the Fiji Islands. He would, how
ever, greatly like to cover the Al
aska Peninsua, Aleutians and Ber
ing Sea at a not too distant date.

.... REPLIES TO PROTEST
WASHINGTON, July 13. $P)—
United States replied to the Cana
dian protest over the sinking of the
rum runner “Im Alone" by an Am
erican coast guard cutter. Ameri
ca claims that the boat was own
ed by Americans and firing upon
itr was justified by her failure to
obey the challenge to stop.

Don’t Rasp Your Throat
With
"Reach for a
LUCKY instead"
Consider fhe Garden of Eden.
When that old serpent put Eve up to
the idea of handing Adam an apple#
he may have been doing them both a
good turn —for where would we be
today, ladies and gentlemen, without
our Adam’s Apple. If we didn’t haveour
Adam’s Apple, we couldn’t sing, we
couldn’t even speak. For your Adam’s
Apple is your Larynx —your voice box
— it contains your vocal chords. So —
Consider your Adam’s Apple. Be care
ful in your choice of cigarettes. Re
member — the serpent in the smokers’
Garden of Eden—harsh irritants are
present in all raw tobaccos. Don’t
rasp your throat with harsh irritants.
Reach for a LUCKY instead. Remember,
LUCKY STRIKE is the only cigarette in
America that through its exclusive
"TOASTING" Process expeb certain
harsh irritants present in all row tobac
cos. These expelled irritanis are sold
to manufacturers of chemical com
pounds. They are not present in your
LUCKY STRIKE. And so we say, "Con
sider your Adam’s Apple."
