BUY HOME PRODUCTS
Campaigns having for their object the encourage- ]
xnent of buying products produced or manufactured
near at home have been carried on in various commun
ities with varying success for many years. Nearly ev
eryone agrees that the idea is sound in principle, but
many fail to put it into practice when their time comes
to buy.
Any small local industry which produces a worthy
product and sells it at a reasonable price might be en
abled to grow large through the loyal support o‘f home
people. Its growth would enable it to increase its pay
rolls, increase its consumption of locally produced ma
terials, build up increased taxable wealth and in every
way contribute to the progress and prosperity of its
community.
These are trite and self-evident facts which have
been put forward time and again, yet many otherwise
good citizens deliberately contribute to the upbuilding
of distant cities at the expense of their own towns and
counties, through failing to patronize home industries.
The simple policy of buying at home would do more
for the average town than can be accomplished by all
the commercial organizations and boosters’ clubs which
may be maintained. These organizations are a link, of
course, but their efforts should be aided by the all-im
portant policy of supporting the enterprises already
present in the community.
AN ALASKAN AUTHORITY
It is strange that never does the name of Otto W.
Geist, Alaska College, ethnology scientist and explorer
who is again spending a year or two on St. Lawrence
Island, appear in national magazines or articles. We
see the names of many unknowns who are alleged to
have made startling discoveries in relation to earlier
ages of man, but not once do we recall Mr. Geist’s name
among the front ranks.
From his many years of exploration and living in
villages with the Eskimo of Alaska, and of which he is
a blood-brother, Geist is perhaps better qualified to
write on this subject than any man alive. Perhaps he
is too modest. In any case( his reward, that of accum
mulating data and a museum for the Alaska College
and Alaskan people, is self-sufficient.
Not very reassuring has been the performance of
the Nautilus, the submarine in which Sir Hubert Wil
kins plans trying to reach the North Pole under the ice.
While cruising in the Atlantic her batteries broke down.
After fighting a gale the submarine was taken in tow
by a battleship and is now undergoing repairs in Eng
land or Ireland. It seems that a more trustworthy
craft should have been obtained for the hazardous en
terprise. *
With Alaska’s tremendous coal resources at Sew
ard’s back door, it is suggested that the manufacture
of creosote be investigated. Creosote is a by-product
from coal and there is a steady market for the product,
not only in the States, but here in the North.
Sourdough Bill is of the opinion that the repeal of
the 18th Amendment is the solution to the unemploy
ment situation. Think of all the work that would re
sult in the installation of bars on American ships and
throughout the country in general.
Failure, providing one doesn’t weaken, may be
termed the mother of success. Anybody can quit.
