PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS
persons residing in small towns such as are found in
* Alaska sometimes get the impression that living so
far away from the alleged civilization of the States that
they are back-numbers, so bearing this in mind it might
be well to recall these few facts.
Statistics, carefully compiled, reveal there is more
intelligence per thousand in the country towns and on the
farms of America than can be found in the cities—more
patriotism, more desire for advancement, a keener inter
est in the nation and the world and less provincialism to
be found in the country towns and farms than in the
cities.
That there is not a proportionate sale of literary
trash in the country and in the cities. The people in the
remote sectons of the country, that’s Alaska, want to be
amused but they want clean amusement; so they are not
avid patrons of sex stories. They are clean-minded, able
bodied, intelligent American citizens. Taken pro rata, in
any way shape or form, a bunch of Alaskans stacked up
against a like number from any alleged throbbing met
ropolis, would be like comparing one of the Seward
Dairy's cucumbers against a peanut.
NOBODY WANTS JOB
A RECENT news dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., carries
** the new^s that North Carolina’s prison printing plant,
located there, no longer has a foreman. The last foreman
finished his sentence not long ago, and other printers have
been steering clear of the penitentiary. So if any good
printer wants a permanent job. all he needs is to get
himself a life sentence.
Flood control is bound to bring forth a flood of ora
tory in Congress.
Bootleggers are doing their bit toward putting busi
ness on a cash basis.
Another paradox is that some sparsely settled sec
tions have a dense population.
This is a truly mechanical age. Even public officials
are frequently machine made.
Flappers of the future will need parachutes when
they feel the necessity of walking back.

'PROMINENT ST LOUIS
; BUSINESS MIN GUEST
Mr. Edw. R. Eddins, prominent St.
Louis business man who with his love
ly wife had been visiting SeSward for
ly wife had been viting Seward for
over a week, was present at Tues
ard Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Eddins in addressing the Cham
ber spoke of the lack of reliable in
formation in the States on the real
conditions existing in Alaska. He re
marked that when starting for his
trip to the Territory, he was advised
not to leave the coast as he would |
find the Interior unsuitable for travel.
However after considerable time in
the Interior and on the coast, he re
gretted that business engagements
forced his leaving at this time and he I
hoped to return in the next year or I
two, and really learn something of the
Territory.
He complimented the local body on
the fine attendance at thd* luncheon
which denoted the interest the bus
iness men of the city are taking in the
affairs and advancement of the com
munity and adjacent regions. “This
is the barometer with wrhich to gauge
whether or not a town is ‘dead’ or
not,” he said, “for with visitors like
myself, the impression gained here to
day compells me to believe that you
have a loyal group of citizens who
are doing their bit in trying to im
prove conditions. There are always
those who take every opportunity to
belittle the work of Chambers of
Commerce but I want to take this
opportunity , gentlemen, that you who
are actively supporting these regu
lar meetings are performing a duty
which every citizen of your commu
nity could well follow. The exchange
of ideas, the general feeling of fel
lowship attendant at these affairs
is the best sort of tonic for a munici
pality. Where there is team work,
there will be found success.”
Mr. and Mrs. Eddins departed for
j the States on the S. S. Admiral Evans, j

CAMILLE'S APARTMENT
MORE COSTLY WITH AGE
PARIS, Aug. 11. (JP)—Collectors of
odd facts have discovered that the
[apartment occupied by the famous
lady of the camelias, whom Alexan_

for 12 times what it did in her life
time.
Marie Duplessis, the original lady
of the camelias, lived in an apart
ment of five rooms without bath on
the Boulevard Malesherbe. During
her occupancy in 1S47 the apartment
rented for 3.200 francs a year or
about $130. The price was comsid
ered high. Today the same rooms
