t was an exciting moment at
Alaska Airlines Express Of
in Anchorage, when one
dred 3-day-old baby chicks

most crucial time in their

he year, they arrived peep
loudly, and were delivered to
Ph Terranova in perfect con

are
New Hampshire Reds. Terran
ova is building a large and mod
ern chicken farm ou the out
skirts of Anchorage and he said
that he had never received chick
ens in better condition in all his
long experience as a poultryman
in the States From now ou he
intends to increase his shipments,
until, by June, he will be flying
in from three to four thousand
chicks each week.
The fact that it has now been
proved feasible to fly baby chicks
info Alaska, even in midwinter,
should be most encouraging to
all Alaskan farmers—in the Mat
anuska and Tanana valleys, or
in Homer and Kodiak.
It’s a cheep flight, too.
A serviceman in New Guinea
sent a poem to Mrs. Mabel
Walker (never heard of her,
don’t know where she is), then
Mrs. Walker sent it 10 her home
town newspaper and they pub
lished it; somebody clipped it in
the States and sent it to Robert
Kester, of Kodiak, who brought
it to the M rror. A poem that
travels that far ough* to be
printed, so we break our long
standing rule against poetry to
include it:
The Monkey's
Viewpoint
Three monkeys sat in a coconut
tree
Discussing things as they're
said to be.
Said one to the others, “Now
listen, you two.
There’s a certain rumor that
can’t be true,
That man descended from our
noble race,
The very idea is a disgrace.

No monkey ever deserted Lis
wife,
Starved Iter babies and ruined
her life,
And you’ve never kpown another
monk
To leave her babies with others
to bunk,
Or pass them on from one to
another
Till they scarcely knew who was
their mother;
And another thing you’ll never
see
A monk build a fence around
a coconut tree
And let the coconuts go to waste,
Forbidding all other monks a
taste.
Why if I’d put a fence around
' the tree
Starvation would force you to
steal from me!
Here’s another thing a monk
won't dc—
Get out at night and get on a
stew,
Or use a gun or club or knife
To take some other monkey’s
life.
Yes, man descended, the ornery
cuss,
But, brother, he didn’t descend
from u»!”
One of those bureaus that seek
information on credit ratings,
etc., wrote ibis week to their
correspondent in Kodiak.
Would said correspondent,
they asked, check up on a woman
they believed formerly lived at
Kodiak, who had been rumored
drowned? Had such a rumor
been heard here and when did
said woman last leave Kodiak?
Sometimes those queries are
tough to tun down but in this
case it whs a cinch.
The correspondent simply
dropped in to a local cafe to eat
and when the waitress brought
the sandwich asked if she

In Rio dc Janeiro, to say Have a “Coke” is to say We're glad
to see you, just as it does when you offer Coca-Cola to a
guest in your own home. In many lands around the globe,
the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola has become
a friendly greeting between neighbors.
