(By Babe Hayes)
Robert Patterson, a former Vice
President of the National Cash Re
gister Co., of Dayton, Ohio, was
through Alaska with his three sons
in 1925. Speaking of the trip he
says:
“You will no doubt be interested
to know that we feel we had a most
wonderful trip, and we were espec
ially impressed with the hospitality
of the many people with whom we
came in contact. If my health re
mains good, I hope to make another
visit to Alaska next summer, coming
sometime in August and I hope to
do some hunting on that trip.
“My boys still speak of the fish
ing trip they had on the Bay, and
of climbing Mt. Eyak, and I wish
to thank you for your interest and
attention to them.
“If I do return to Alaska, I hope
to have the pleasure of seeing you
again.”
Don’t miss the “Talkies!”

The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allows you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries. ’ ’ This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation. •

BULLET GRAZES HEAD
IN PICK BERRIES
AT JUNEAU RECENTLY
| While R. D. Miles of Juneau was
I picking berries on the side of Mt.
Juneau off the Basin Road last
week, a bullet from a high pow
ered rifle creased the top of his
head. He was not aware of his
narrow escape from death until
a few hours later, reports the Jun
eau Empire.
Mr. Miles remembers reaching
for a particularly fine cluster of
berries and his next recollection
is of being at bed at his home
with Dr. L. P. Dawes and Mrs.
Miles standing nearby with looks
of concern on their faces.
Mr. Miles cannot recall any pain
resulting from the bullet or how
he arrived home from the hillside.
Mrs. Miles was not in the house
when he reached there.
The shock caused by the bullet
grazing the skull rendered Mr.
Miles unconscious. The supposi
tion is that the person who did
the shooting—possibly mistaking
Mr. Miles for a bear—conveyed
the senseless man home. The fact
that he was unable to give any
information about himself leads
| to the inference that the person
I who fired the rifle must be an
| acquaintance of Mr. Miles.
I “Judging from all circumstances,
the bullet must have been dis
charged from a high-powered wea
pon,” declared Doctor Dawes. “If
the missle had ranged one inch
lower, it would have instantly kill
ed Mr. Miles. It 7/ent through his
' hat and just touched the top of
his head.

A SOUL-STIRRING AND EPOCHAL ADDRESS
(Continued from Pace One)
cause in every emergency they have had up before them an
ideal of liberty and the freedom of their country. Some wars
in history have been instigated- by old and cynical men for
cruel or selfish reasons. Some wars could have been fought
for power and possessions. The ends of some wars could
have been more nobly won and more wisely won by patience
and negotiation. But war for liberty has Endowed the race
not alone with the most precious possessions of freedom but
has inspired every succeeding generation with that idealism
which is the outpouring of man’s spiritual nature.
“An ideal is an unselfish aspiration. Its purpose is the
general welfare not only of this but of future generations.
ItJis a thing of the spirit. It is a generous and humane de
sire that all men may share equally in a common good. Our
ideals are the cement which binds human society. They pro
vide the mainspring of progress. Idealism was forged into
the souls of the American people by the fires of the Revolu
tion. It is this quality of spirit which has made possible the
success of our great democratic experiment. It has tempered
our acquisitiveness, has strengthened our sense of civic re
sponsibility, and has made service to fellow man a part of j,
our national character.
“This peculiar significance of Valley Forge in our Amer- «
ican annals should strike us all with especial force in this
particular moment of our national life. The American people
are going through another Valley Forge at this time. To
each and every one your special cause of anxiety. So, too,
have I. The whole Nation is beset with difficulties incident
to a world-wide depression. These temporary reverses in
the march of progress have been in part the penalty of ex
cesses of greed, of failure of crops, and the malign inherit
ances of the Great War and a storm of other world forces
beyond our control. Their far-reaching effects have fallen
heavily upon many who were in no wise concerned with their
causes. Many have lost the savings of a lifetime, many are
unemployed, all know the misgivings of doubt and grave
concern for the future. ^
“No one who reviews the past and realizes the vast *
H
strength of our people can doubt that this, like a score of
similar experiences in our history, is a passing trial. From it
will come a greater knowledge of the weaknesses of our sys
tem, and from this knowledge must come the courage and
wisdom to improve and strengthen us for the future. Num
erous are the temptations under the distress of the day to
turn aside from our true national purposes and from wise
national policies and fundamental ideals of the men who
builded our Republic. Never was the lure of the rosy path
to every panacea and of easy ways to imagined security more
tempting.
“For the energies of private initiative, of independence,
and a high degree of individual freedom of our American
system we are offered an alluring substitute in the specious
claim that everybody collectively owes each of us individually
a living rather than an opportunity to earn a living, and the
equally specious claim that hired representatives of a hundred
million people can do better than the people themselves, in
thinking and planning their daily life.
“The Revolution, of which Valley Forge was the darkest
but perhaps the most glorious moment, was fought not alone
for national independence but to retain our freedom to con
tinue unhampered the most promising social experiment in
all human history. Our American ideals had already been in
process of development for a century when the War of Inde
pendence began. Our Government was an experiment in se
curing to a people the maximum of individual freedom.
Amazing success proved it is no longer an experiment.
Under it has grown a social and economic system new in the
world and distinctly our own. Human initiative has been in
spired, human energies released, local cooperation has solidly
knit together communities into self-governing democracies,
and the human spirit has blossomed in an atmosphere of a
new independence and self-respect. It brought America to a
greatness unparalleled in the history of the world.'
“We must ever continue that fight. Amid the scene of
vastly growing complexity of our economic life we must pre
serve the independence of the individual from the deadening
restraints of government, yet by the strong arm of govern
ment equally protect his individual freedom, assure his fair
chance, his equality of opportunity from the encroachments
of special privileges and greed or domination by any group
or class.
“We are still fighting this war of independence. We must
not be misled by the claim that the source of all wisdom
is in the government. We know that the source of wisdom
is in the people; that the people can win anew the victory.
But that wisdom is not innate. Rather is it bom out of ex
perience, and most of all out of precisely such experience as
is brought to us by the darkest moments—the Valley Forges
—of our individual and national careers. It is in the meet
ing of such moments that are born new insights, new sym
pathies, new powers, new skills. That is precisely why the
wisdom of the few instead of the many fails to build an
enduring people. Such battles as w’e are in the midst of
today can not be won by any single stroke, by an; one strat
egy sprung from the mind of any single genius. The neces
sary multitude of individuals and group adjustments to new
conditions is altogether too vast and too complex for that.
Rather must we pin our faith upon the inventiveness, the
