A WONDERFUL, TIMELY SUGGESTION
The suggestion of the Nome Kennel Club to combine
all the Interior kennel clubs in 1929 and stage the great
est dog derby race in the history of the country, froili
Fairbanks to Nome, is one of the finest suggestions ever
put forward. Dog drivers from all over the United States
and Canada will undoubtedly take part in it. The combin
ed purse will make it worth while and the publicity at
tached to such an event would be stupendous. In truth it
would serve as a medium for tourists to visit the Ter
ritory in the winter; and entirely different Alaska from
the good old summer time.
There should be no hesitantcy by kennel clubs in!
Alaska following the lead of the suggestion offered i
from Nome.
MORE INVESTIGATIONS
. The United States Senators have become United
States Investigators.
Strange to say, we can not find in the Constitution
of the United States any direct command on the part of
Congress to make laws. The Constitution tells Congress |
what it may do, what is shall have power to do, and what
"t can not by any means do, but there is no express lan
guage compelling it to pass laws. In fact, the whole tenor i
oi the original Constitution, instead of seeking to impose
government UPON the people, tends rather to keep the!
encroachments of government AWAY FROM the people, i
NOBLE WORK FINISHED 1
Exactly one year after the American Red Cross be- }
gan its tremendous task of relieving flood sufferers along .
the Mississippi and its tributaries, its work in the flood-;,
ed area .was closed a few days ago.
This relieUeffort now successfully concluded is said I
to have been the greatest ever undertaken by the organ- j
ization. At one time more than 600,000 refugees were un-j
der its care. The total amount of money expended under
its direction amounted to $17,000,000 of which approx- y
innately $5,600,000 was expended in Louisiana, $5,400,000
in Mississippi, $4,000,000 in Arkansas and the remainder;
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma, i
Relief furnished included food, clothing, household
goods, livestock, farm implements, seed and medical as
sistance. More than 1,680,000 acres of land were replanted
with seed supplied through the Red Cross.
Thus, once ae-ain, has this great and snlendid organ- j
ization demonstrated its humanity, its efficiency and its
integrity.
The story is told of a negro woman who wanted to
register in order to vote in a Southern state, and was ask
ed: “What party do you affiliate with?” She hesitated
and was pressed for an answer, finally replying: “If I
has to tell dat, I won’t vote, he ain’t got his divorce yet.”
First a boy adores his mother, then his teacher, and
finally grows up and wants to marry Peggy Joyce.
The real favorite son is the one who gets the nom
ination.
Handshaking wouldn’t be so bad if so many people
w'ouldn’t hold out their palm along with their hand.

in the extra fine comedy drama
from the great stage success by
VICTOR HERBERT
Here is something that has never been done be
fore—an absorbing drama of Holland life, so
full of comical situations that it is called a
comedy. Some of the greatest sets ever built for
a movie, were made for this. No limit was set
to expenditures and so there are many beaut
iful and true reproductions of Dutch scenes in
this comedy play.
Miss Davies rises to greatness in her portrayal
of the winsome maid of Holland.
