Barrow la a fine place, B*yB T.
L. Richardson, our teacher at
Unalakleet who hag beea spending:
some days In Nome on Grand JUT
business. Mr. Richardon -was sta
tioned three yeara at Barrow,
"The people there are fine, and
there ia plenty of food for them.
A man can live well at Barrow."
He says that plenty of coal has
been discovered a day or two days
journey from the village, and coal
beds will probably j>e found near
by, U the men keep looking for it.
Coal close to Barrow will be a fine
thing for the people, he said. The
Walnwrignt Tillage has a coal mine,
and the people there find it a great
help.
He also says there is an oil lake
to the East of Barrow, and there
are Indications of rich oil fields
which may some day be developed.

New York, — The continued bom*
bardment of Paris by the long dis
tance guns and the Increasing num
ber of air raids have affected the
serves of many o the blind soldiers
, la the institutions in Paris and near
bx of the the American-British
French-Belgian Permanent Blind Re*
lief War Fund. The shock of
having been recently made sight
less has not yet worn off and it baa
been found necessary to remove as
many as possible to the recently ac
quired Chateau de Rochecorbon,
near Tours, for the time being,
where they can continue in. peace
their studies and apprenticeship in
their various trades.
William Nelson Cromwell, who
purchased recently at the Paris
Salon Rldgway Knight's picture
"After the Battle of the Marne," and
presented it to the American-Brltlsn
French-Belgian Permanent Blind Re
Uef War Fund, which sold it at
auction in New York on June 6 for
$25,100, has received a touching
letter from Eugene Brieux, the Aca
demician, concerning hie gift.
M. Brleux is governmental head of
all institutions in France for blind
ed soldiers, and chairman of the
French Section of the American-BrU
ish-Frencb-Belgian Permanent Blind
Relief War Fund. The "Woolen
Stocking" he mentions in the com
panion picture to "After the Battle
of the Marne," and represents the
same old couple taking money from
a stocking, the favorite bank of
the French peasant, in order to In
vest it in war bonds. The letter is:
Dear Sir:
I know of the generous gift that
you are making to our blinded, and
have read the admirable letter which
accompanies it. I wish that all the
blind soldiers could read it. In so
doing they would be inspired again
with that exaltation whica sustained
them in battle.and in their Buffer
ings, and from that would derive
comfort. You praise them in the
finest manner in recalling that
"neither the passion o' vengeance
nor the desire for glory impelled
them upon the road to their mis
fortune, but solely a principel, a
cause, a faith a thing of the tnind
which they could not see or touch—
the splendid idea they had of hu
manity and liberty.''
iteauy, sir, i ow not
which our blind men will be the
more grateful to you — your gen
erosity itself or the form it has
taken. There is an attention deli
cate and difficult to define in. the
very choice you have made iu which
to offer it, a picture by a great A
m&rican artist, Mr. Ridgway Knight,
who. himself was bo delicate as to
paint twice in his pictures the same
French persons, an though to signify
to ail beholders that the French,
upright and economic, fond of the
"woolen stocking'' and so attached
to the arts of peace, would na
turally give themselves entirely
when the occaslom came for the de
fense of civilization.
Thank you for all our blinded
men, sir. We hope that th® sale
of Mr. Ridgway Knight's picture
win be attended with Important re
suits. Yon will have enabled us to
do much good.
Yesterday, I went to see our pu
pils in their schools at the Chateau
de Rochecorbon. They were work
ing tnere placidly and joyously, in
the perfumed air of an admirable
oark. The hope of a worthy and
happy life which their new trade
will assure comforts them. They
will oass the summer in Touraine
like billionaires, and In a few month
you will see them Installed in our
magnificent establihments at Nueill^
and the Cnateau de Madrid.
That is the good one sees. But
there is the good that one does not
see, the three hundred pupils seat
tered in all the provinces of France,
installed in the little cottages rent-"
•d by the Permanent Blind Relief
War Fund, amid their furniture paid
for Ov the same Fund—three hun
dred families of honest folk who at
one time perhaps despaired of the
ture and Who enter with confi
dence UDon a new life, precisely be
cause there has been given to them
the wherewithal to begin again, to
start out with. They will take
their chances unhandicapped. It
seems that the American institution,
the Permanent Blind Relief War
Fund was resolved above all to as
sure to the blinded soldiers fair
Play, the chance to exercise all the
powers that they had in them.
And, since I am one of the wit
nesses of such great good accom
plished, thanks to American gener
op'ty, permit me to assure you that
this generosity is not wasted.
From all the hearths lighted up
again and happy comes cries of
thanks to your motherland, the tT
nlted States; to the Permanent Blind
Relief War Fund, to Mr. and Mrs.
Kessler, to all those who, like your
self, give to the French wounded
not only of their money but of their
affection. Cordially youre,
(Signed) BRIEUX.
Why be satisfied with the wear you
set from ordinary boots
when you get so much more from "Hi-Press?",
This is no idle claim, but a fact proven by miners,
farmers and construction workers from Alaska to
Mexico. "Hi-Press" is made by a new and better
method—the greatest advance in footwear in fifty years.
We use the toughest rubber ever evolved—actually the
same kind that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires. There
seems to be no wear-out to it. And the boot is molded
INTO ONE SOLID FHiUIi!
Can't leak or come apart—and
it's wonderfully comfortable.
When next you hit the trail try the
Shupac—shown here. The White
Hip is best tor the sluices, aad there
are many other styles. Ask for the
footwear with the Red Line 'Round
the Top—that's "Hi-Press."
