“The Port of Seward.” A fine sounding sentence. Use
it as often as possible. It means something.
WHO’S GOT A HARD JOB ?
Ever since I have been able to spit . over the top of z
spittoon I’ve heard stories about traveling men. To mj
young imagination they had the softest snap. They knev
all the newest stories, knew all the classiest gals in each
town, called the conductor by his first name and coulc
converse easily with the bartenders. They handed out fat
looking cigars with gold bands on ’em and almost invar
iably had the best room in the best hotel in town with hoi
and cold running water.
Now since I have reached man’s estate and have
watched the traveling men doing their stuff in Alaska, 1
know all them things ain’t so. They ain’t any where near
so. The only thing they’ve got left is the cigar and they’re
keeping that for themselves.
We are compelled to use one of these Alaskan
“Knights of the Grip-’ as an example to bring out clearer
just what we are driving at. Captain Heinie Berger told
us about the recent trip Jack Tritt took with him so we
will take it out on Jack.
Jack’s a good scout even though he does represent a
ig clothing house in San Francisco and is trying to talk
these merchants up here into big and little orders. He has
eight trunks big as the extinct Alaska mastodon and his
stuff must be good because the derrick groaned every
time they put a hook in the sling.
Jack had to get those trunks unloaded at Kodiak and
Seldovia whether the tide was 30 feet in the air or right
down to the ground. Then he had to find someone to take
them somewhere to spread them out. Then he had to
scout around and get the men to come and look over his
goods. Then he had to pack up and get those mastodonic
trunks back aboard. And that’s the way she goes for all of
these Alaskan salesmen.
So next time wThen one of these lads look you in the
eye or slip you a fountain pen for you to sign your John
Hancock on the old dotted line, when you gaze back don’t
fool yourself w7ith the idea you would like to be a travel
ing salesman because they have such a good time and are
as free as spring.
You’re all wet; its just springtime, brother.
George Remus will write a book. Next we may see
this versatile citizen get religion and turn evangelist.
A boat a day will keep poverty away.
Houston, Tex., —The Houston Chamber of Commerce
announced today that red lemonade would be served to
delegates for A1 Smith and Jim Reed at the coming Dem
ocratic national convention. That’s no place for a dry man.
Some long-range prophets predict the end of the
world and others predict that Congress will do something
about Muscle Shoals.

SHOW III LIBERTY
Among the many Peter B. Kvne j
stories shown at the Liberty lately i
: the one last night, “The Underetand
I . I
j mg Heart,” iis about the best, and!
j surely the most unusual, in that it J
contained a number of play elements !
that are not ordinarily found in one j
. feature. The most laughable comedy
j was furnished by the old sheriff, and
l'.is crony. This is the first time j
Seward has seen this pair and they!
are good.
The heavy tragedy element was the !
killing, in self-defense of a man who !
was despoiling another's home. The'
! youthful, love at first sight, moon- j
gazing romance was protrayed by the
j heroine, Joan Crawford. The dare
; devil thrills are furnished by the air. i
| plane rescue, and the parachute leap
from the cliff during the forest fire.!
| The educational and dutv element1

j is the fine showing of the forestry,

last chance to see this 300 percent!
