“SAYINGS”
Solomon Forgot to Say1
Said By ANNA FRADA
ABOUT “WATKR” AND
“PROHIBITION •ANGELS.”
O Water—what a lovely thing!
It makes the music in the brooks—
The water-melon’s sugared juice.
In soup, makes nectar (or the cooks.
To poets, it's significance
In song, are metaphors divine.
The crystal in the icicles;
To vegetation, bread and wine.
It’s nature's balm and substance all,
And sustenance tq earth in rain;
Refreshing drink to all the beasts—
But water’s water just the same.
That God just made for swimming
And' boats that navigate the sea.
Meant only to be used in baths.
And dnlv fit to put in tea
And once upon an ancient time.
Of which the Good-Book plainly
That wine was made to flow from
Aqd water was confined in wells.
K-er jazz and shimany was an art.
When drink was law and not a crime
The beasts alone did water drink |
And man would nothing drink hut |
But that was in the long ago.
When drinking water was absured.
E'er bolshivik was substitute
And moonshine-parlor-brew unheard
But now he’s fool, or beast, or both
Who quenches thirst with parlor
For now it’s man who drinks the
And beast who takes the moonshine
He needs no telescopic lense
To see the stallar-system’s girth,
Who drinks moonshine shall kick
the moon
And kick himself right off the earth, j
Fur earth’s no longer place for him,;
He’s needed on the planet MARS,
To be commissioned after death—
Prohibition-angle of the stars.

WILL be no tent town
wind FORCES (INSTRUC
TION OF DWELLINGS.
The growth of a town at Kana
tak, the present gateway to the
Cold Bay oil fields, is progressing
rapidly, according to John F. Co.
fey, former Assistant U. S. Tftorney
in this division, who has establish
ed a law office in the new town. In
a letter just received here from Mr.
Coffey, it was stated that ear^y in
September there were 200 people
in Kanatak and many more were
arriving daily.
Kanatak will be no tent town,
said Mr. Coffey. Those who at
tempted to live in tents were forced
to abandon them on account of the
violence of the wind. House con
struction there is a different art
from what it is in other Alaska
towns. Frame houses are erected
and sod banked around them up to
the eves of the buildings. This is
the only way that shelter may be
had fro inthe wind.
Mr. Coffey is confident that a
substantial community will be built
up at Kanatak. He has been there
since.the first “stampede” boat ar
rived and assisted in laying out
what he says will “be the greatest
town north of the South Pole.”—

MAN GIVES WIFE
GLYCERINE MIXTURE
She had stomach trouble for years.
After giving her simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad
ler-i-ka, her husband says: “My
wife feels fine now and has gained
weight. It is wonderful stomach
medicine.” Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH
upper and lower bowel, removing
foul matter which poisoned stomach
and which you never thought was in
your ayztejn. EXCELLENT for gas
on the stomach or chronic constipa
tion. The impurities it brings out
will surprise you. Lomen Brothers,

NOT THE TIME
TO STAMPEDE
TO OIL FIELDS
Marion Goldstein, just returned
from Cold- Bay, advises people not
to rush to the- oil fields there unless
they known what they are going
for. He says there is no demand
there for more people at this time.
Mr. Goldstein's warning is time
ly. There is no evidence that there
is more work in that country than
there are men to do it, and one who i
goes there should have the funds
with him for a return trip.
Oil prospecting does not provide
large payrolls, nor, for that matter,
does oil development. It will take
time to prospect the country and it
would be far better for all concern
ed if the development should be
orderly and that the country should
not be overpopulated. Stampeders
rarely get anything out of stam
pedes except hard experience.
This warning, of course, would
not apply to prospectors or would
be investors who want to look the
situation over and have seen it and
something to come back to if the,
verdict should be against a perman
ent residence there.
These are good times for the man
with a job to stay with it unless
he is ure of the next step. This
applies particularly to those as for
tunately situated as the people of
Southeastern Alaska. This section
of the universe is prosperous and
living conditions are good. The sit
uation is much too satisfactory to
quit it to take a leap into the dark.
The time may come when the
situation in the oil fields will be
different, but it will be apparent
when it comes. It will be far bet
ter for Cold Bay region to permit it
to- grow with the needs of the coun
try until the situation becomes more
settled and the demand for working
people more certain than it is at
the present time. The present is
no time for stampeding anywhere,
and Mr. Goldstein says it specially
is not the time for a rush to Cold
Bay.—Juneau Empire.
