M1HCUTT ILL
BIO AND TEACH
FAR 1ST SCHOOL
For many years Edwin W. Hun
nicutt has been going to far places
and doing things for Uncle Sam.
Soon he will leave Seward for
Attu, the farthest East and West
school on the continent, being at
173 East longitude and the only
school of the United States lo
cated in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Hunnicutt has been going to
‘far places” building and teach
ing schools for several years. He
arrived in Seward last week and
goes to Unalaska on the next sail
ing of the mail steamer Starr;
from Unalaska he will probably be
taken West 1,200 miles more aboard
a coast guard cutter.
Among the work accomplished
during the past year by Mr. Hun
nicutt was the erection of a school
at Akutan, put across a school and
teacherage at Nondalton and pro
cured a school for Newhalen. The
latter two are two of the most
isolated schools in that part of
the Interior country. Both of
these schools were built from funds
appropriated for only one; in
other words, two blades of grass
sprung where there only should
have been one.
Hunnicutt is well fitted for the
extraordinary tasks assigned to
him by his chief; a man with
many peculiarities seldom contain
ed in one oldtimer of the North
land. For one thing he could
have excelled as a lawyer or a re
porter for he can get his nose into
possibly more things than might
be considered healthy for most
men. While not exactly an Ad
onis yet, Hunnicutt has many ad
mirable traits . which make him
really worthwhile cultivating, not
the least of which is his personal
interest in the work allotted him.
His persistency is to be applauded
for lie is one of those rare types
of manhood whose chief charac
teristic is sticking to a job until
the job has been fully completed.
His ambition was to build and
teach the farthest West school in
Alaska and it now appears this
worthy ambition will be realized.
His visions generally materialize.
In his new position at far-away
Attu, Hunnicutt will really be an
American Robinson Crusoe; mail
arrives on the outflung island but
twice a year yet if inquiries are
directed to him he will be very
glad to take time off to answer
each and every one of them. He
looks forward to arriving at his
destination in time to take per
sonal charge of running up the
American flag in honor of the ar

DIATOMS COME IN BILLIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.
(A3)—Diatoms, or minute sea
plants, are so small that as many
as 7,800,000,000 have been found
in a cubic meter of water in the
Baltic and North seas, says a re
port of the Carnegie institution.
BOOKS DISAPPEAR
ST. PAUL, June 29. (/P) — The
St. Paul Public- Library officials
reported the disappearance of sev
eral books written by Charles Au
gustus Lindbergh, father of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh. Investiga
tion has failed to uncover the vol
umes. The writings were in a de
cided liberal vein. Possibilities were
that they were removed during the
world war. They were published in
1917.

Don’t Rasp Your Throat
With Harsh Irritants
“Reach for a LUCKY instead"
i
What is the effect of irritation
upon the throat? Here are the
exact words of a noted au
thority retained by us to study
this question. He writes —
"First, the vocal chords, on ac*
count of their delicacy of struo
lure,would he the first tissues to
give indication of irritation,
evidenced by the huskiness of
the smoker9s voice, the result
of relaxed tension and slower
vibration of the vocal chords.
The next site of irritation
would be the tissues adjacent
to the vocal chords comprise
ing the larynx, therefore the
general focal point of the irri*
tation would be in the voice
box represented externally by
the Adam’s Apple.”
So — Consider your Adam’s
Apple. Be careful in your
choice of cigarettes. Don’t rasp
your throat with harsh irri
tants. Reach for a LUCKY
instead.
