SEWARD LOSING FINE OFFICER
ANNOUNCEMENT is made that Lieutenant Carter W.
Clarke of the Signal Corps is soon to complete his two
years detail in Alaskan service and will soon take a trans
fer to Monmouth Signal Corps school.
Lieutenant Clarke will be greatly missed by the many
staunch friends he has made in Seward, not only for his
efficiency as an officer in one of the city’s most important
governmental institutions, but for his contributions to the
social life of the city. Combining enthusiasm in his work
Lieutenant Clarke has not only won a high place with his
superiors, but has become an integral part of the com
munity’s life, participating in its many activities and lay
ing up many friendships which will follow him to his new
station.
Lieutenant Clarke and Mrs. Clarke and baby will sail
on the S. S. Aleutian next Sunday, and will board the
transport Cambria at San Francisco, traveling via the
Panama Canal to New York.
TO GIVE AWAY FORTUNE
Another great captain of industry, who has amassed
a large fortune during his 68 years of active life, is plan
ning to give it way for the benefit of humanity.
John Markle, one of America’s leading coal operators,
will shortly ertire from business life and devote his mil
lions to educational and philanthropic purposes, through
the medium of the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation,
the principal objects of which as stated to be:
To aid schools, colleges and libraries; to aid scientific
and medical research to establish industrial, recreational
and welfare activities to aid hospitals, and to provide ne
cessities of life for the needy and worthy.
Mr. Markle’s action is in line with that or an increas
ing number of American millionaires, who, after playing
the game of business successfully for many years, take
pleasure in giving back their winnings for the benefit of
mankind.
Much of our educational and scientific advancement
is due to the philanthropy of such men, many of whom
during their active careers were denounced as greedy
money-grubbers.”
THE CORNERSTONE
I AMES O’SHAUGHNESSY, executive secretary of the
. American Association of Advertising Agencies, said
in a recent address: "I have been widely quoted as say
ing that the village weekly newspaper is the cornerstone
of American journalism. No one has disputed that as
sertion. Modern communities, large and small grow and
prosper in the wake of their newspapers. If their news
papers are prosperious, retail business prospers and real
estate appreciates in value.”
Distribution of moonshine liquor has not reached the
saturation point, but a good many of its users have.
Brunettes are advised to wear “warm” colors and
blondes something “cold.” The red-heads having been
slighted this may account for their refusing to wear any
thing. y
A North Carolina man who became his own grand
father by marrying the daughter of his son-in-law, has
the advantage of being able to ask himself if he can stay
out late without consulting friend wife..
The best punishment that could be prescribed for
Congress is to compel the members to pass upon the mass
of Lindbergh poetry and pick the best.
Another “sweet young thing” asked the first mate of
one of Alaska’s north-bound steamers if they raised chick
ens in the hatch-way.
UINDED SAFELY TDGOTNA
Word was received in Seward last
night to the effect that Noel, Wein,
who on Friday started from Nome
by airplane bringing George Tracey
a sick man, to Seward to make con
nection with the S. S. Alaska, had
! been delayed at Tocotna by weather
conditions.
When Wein failed to report at Sew
ard Sunday, the Nome Nugget wired
asking for information as to his where
abouts. Capt. Ralph Guthrie of the
Signal Corps sent out a broadcast to
Sill stations in the Interior to be on
the lookout for Wein, Tocotna report
ing that he had landed at that point
and was awaiting favorable weather
conditions before resuming his jour
ney.
It is anticipated that Wein will take
, his patient 4o some point on the rail
road where connections will be made
for Seward in time to catch the next
steamer south.
