OBSERVANCE OF LENT
The Lenten season, which is observed by the Roman and Greek
Catholic churches, as well as in some degree by the Church of England, i
the Protestant Episcopal church in America and others, began on Ash
Wednesday. February 10. and will continue until Easter Sunday, March
27, a period of 40 days, not counting Sundays.
In the early years of the Christian era the fast of Lent was ob
served for varying periods, by some only one or two days and by others
for a longer time, according to the writings of Irenaeus, Greek Bishop
of Lvons, in the second century.
The duty of fasting is modified with respect to laboring people,
chi!dun, and women under certain conditions, but increased diligence
;n wo’-ks of charity is enjoined upon all. as well as extraordinary at
tention to all religious observances, throughout this period.
Tomorrow we honor the memory of the Immortal Abraham Lincoln j
—the son of pioneers, the self-made student; the backwoods lawyer— |
and i no martyred President. May his life be an inspiration to us all. j
We read recently a book in ivhich the author stated, rather defi- 'i
. I
nitely. that citizens of small towns were early risers. It is a certainty !
The author never lived in Alaska. '
Fairbanks man is said to have had his wife arrested for pointing
a revolver at him. Next time she probably will pull the trigger.
An astrologer predicted that a United States Senator will lose his
mental balance during 1932. Which is our idea of a prophet playing safe.

TIP TO TRAPPERS
Here’s a tip that may come in
! handy to some Alaska trapper or
i outdoor man who may experience
j difficulty when a bullet becomes
; lodged in a gun barrel. It can be
removed with mercury without
harm to the rifling of the weapon.
Place the gun in an upright posi
tion and pour a tea-spoonful of
mercury into the muzzle. After a
few hours, the mercury will dis
solve enough of the bullet to allow ;
it to fall out at the breech.
Young men and women of coast
al towns who desire to enroll at
the Alaska College next year, will |
be given the opportunity to travel |
free over the Richardson highway '
from Valdez, it is said.
Household residents of Fairbanks !
are compelled to remove all snow'
from alleys.
Tribesmen at English Bay are
looking forward soon to the early
selection of a chief to succeed the
late Ephim Moonin. reports the
Seldovia Herald.
