ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. SATURDAY. APRIL -L L"7.
ALL PATRIOTIC, IN Q^ASE OF NEED.
The Valdez publication, ever ready to slur and belittle a
neighboring town, says, concerning a recent meeting at the
coal terminal:
“Anchorage had a rousing patriotic meeting at which •">.')()
citizens signed cards agreeing to enlist if needed. Valdez held
no meeting but hcveral of her sons exemplified the difference be
tween talking and action and took the boat for the Seattle re
cruiting office.”
Xow. we consider this slur (piite uncalled-for. We are per
fectly willing to admit that it is not absolutely necessary to
have a public meeting to proclaim allegiance to our govern
ment, but at the same time it is an entirely fitting thing to do.
All Americans are presumed to be patriotic' and most of them
are loyal to tin* nation. In case of need, we believe that the
town of Valdez would supply it- <piota of fighting forces. We
believe that Anchorage would do the same thing. We believe
every other Alaska community would respond nobly to the call
of the nation. We should hate to believe anything else. We
have confidence in the loyalty of the eitzenship of Alaska, and
it will take mi^-h more than a gratuitous offering of the Valdez
publication t<< make ns believe otherwise.
MUST RELIEVE SITUATION.
Tin* administration does well in making an effort to cur
tail the activities of those who would hold the consumers up
to a price beyond all reason in the matter of food, clothing, etc.
I'nder the pretext of scarcity, wheat has jumped to the unpre- j
cedented price of jj»—-•*>*»1 -j the bushel. Now. this is alright for
the farmer, but what about the consumer.' Where does lie get
oil' with .Mich extortionate prices maintaining' The farmer,
until recent years considered the most oppressed individual in
the Country, is now the moneyed man of the nation, lie has liisj
automobile. hi> town mansion, and all the comforts of civiliza
tion. And he is entitled to much of the pleasure's and luxur
ies of life, because we are dependent upon him for our living,
to a large extent. We like to see him prosper. I tut the farmer
does not make all of the money that is reaped from what he pro
duces. Not bv any means. The middleman is the fellow that
is gaining great profits from what the tiller of the soil produces.
And it is the middle man that must lie controlled by the federal
government. Some way must be devised whereby the tiller
of the soil may deal directly with the consumer, and it is a <o
lution of this problem that is now engaging the attention of
the adminisration officials.
WHERE WE DISAGREE.
( Ketchikan Prog-restive)
According to a report, the democratic machine of Juneau
went on record the other night as being opposed to the reap
pointment of Governor Strong to the governorship.
Xow pray. Mr. or Mrs. or Miss Machine or whatever your
name may he; what is wrong with Governor Strong? What
has lie done to incur your displeasure? Is it because lie voted
a certificate of election to Wickersham ? Come out Miss Ma
chine with your reasons to oppose him for reappointment. P>e
specific please. ,
With due respect for the governor, let it be understood
for all time that we do not claim perfection in the governor.'
As a matter of fact we hardly believe that he does himself; but
we do claim that he has made as good an official as Alaska ever
had. Moreover, with the exception of John W. Troy, one of
the favorites recommended by the machine for the office. Gov
ernor Strong has made a better official than the people would
have were they to take all the good points or virtues from two
any two of the other three endorsees of the machine and
give them to the third one. Assuming that this could be done,1
in Jennings the people would have an arch-autocrat; in Griffin
a mutton-head and in Whittlesey an inflated pedant.
No, let the democratic machine, pun- a while or grumble,
we don’t care which, the real Ala.-jkans are satisfied with Gov
ernor Strong and the voters have not let go of the gee pole yet. ,
However, if a change must be made, John W. is the man for the
place next to I'S.

Vol. 1. No. 236. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and »
And the new goods keep on arriving even though traffic
jconditions in the country are far from favorable. The last few
| boats brought us new Kastman Kodttks, new Cut Class, new
Victor Records and Phonographs, new Stationery, fresh Au
gustine & Kyer’s Chocolates, which if anything sire more de
licious than ever. Prices on all things are advancing consider
ably and the war will not help to reduce it any. One state is,
we understand, considering changing from a gold and silver
standard to egg and potato. The story is told of a man in the
states referred to who ordered a drink in a saloon and in pay
ment ottered an Irish potato. The bartender looked it over
carefully, threw it in the cash register and gave tin* customer
ten cents in change.
FREE ADVICE—
If you have the grippe this will tell you what to do:
First Friend: “Feeling run-down, eh? Now take my advise: Tie a
boiled onion between your eyes; it’s the only thing that will cure vou."
Second Friend: “My boy, what you want to do is to put a cold noker
down your back under your shirt, and paint your arm with lampblack. It’s
the only remedy that’s any good.”
Third Friend: “Oh, 1 know what’s wrong my boy! My mother said
sunflowers tied around your waist and a lump of butter on the head were
the best things in the world for it.’
Fourth Friend: 'In all my experience 1 never knew orange peel wrap
ped around the knee to fail to cure.”
VVifey: “Yet, John dear, all these things mav be good, but there is
nothing like this tonic my grandmother used to make of vinegar, sulphur,
benzine, sugar, zinc rust and cobwebs.”
If the above simple remedies fail, then use Loussac’s Cold Tablets. We
never knew them to fail.
There is a big difference between a Satisfied Customer and an Knthusi
astic Customer. One merely refrains from “kicking.” The other “boosts”
for you among his friends. We aim to make Enthusiastic Customers. Our
main idea is to serve as well as to sell, to provide a homelike and hospita
ble atmosphere, to consider no transaction closed until the customer is thor
oughly satisfied, and to always give the same free willing service, no mat
ter whether the purchase is $1 or $100, or a two-cent stamp.
Modern efficiency has proven its worth and value in recent years. A
Waterman Ideal Fountain Pen and an Eversharp Pencil in your pocket are
symbols of your efficiency. In our stock you will find a point suitable to
your way of writing, and every Fountain Pen is guaranteed.
