the opposition, those who do not want to move any way. The clean-up

time. That is. of course, out of the question.
But this is almost certa.n that we can all get what we all want in time

decide to buck everyt' ing just because we cannot get what we want. Take

In our last issue a -f.if< .eat of the Town of Anchorage's finances were

I ie rest of us to look at, but are we mindful of the fact that Anchorage has
had done for her what no other town in Alaska has had. If she bad bad to
put '.n her own water power, build ..er own I ou>es. put in her own streets,
etc . etc. ad infinitum, when . hundred thousand people were surging and
pushing thru her mudd> site 's to -et to Matanuska or some other point.

kinds of improvised sheds. »•« • . t e titiaucial s eet would not be as it now
is Not that we would want hers to be less, but we cannot forget that the
city fathers have had handed to tuem a tine towu well laid out, with good
houses, etc , etc.. handed, as it were, on a silver platter, and they have been
told to go ahead, and they have done well. (July we assert that we are do
ing unite as well when all is taken into consideration.
WHY Mil?
Why not tell the rest of the people »uu were not out last Monday
night, that our I.tile Public Library - -e out -50 books during April? Why
not say that the i'ubiic Library is one ot iue distinct steps forward which
the town has taken?
Why not say that it is meeting a felt need when young girls say the
library has tueaut a new towu for them?
Why not tell the re>t t: at the selection of hooks is of the best and made
with a view- to meeting the felt wants of Hie people ill tiie towu?
W hy not say that almost everyone u towu is enthusiastic for the libra
ry whether they use it or not?
Why not say that the recent additions of ti:e juvenile books have made
the youngsters glow with enthusiasm for ti.e library?
Why not ask every man and woman in town to take out a library card?

A Man and a
Dog
By ROSE MEREDITH
& 1132. by McClura N«wspap«r Syndicate.
Under the big maple tree In .Mrs,
Addy's front yard sat Mrs. Add.v's
boarder—Kvalyn Byron, wh<i was a
clerk down et tlit lumber mill near
the bridge. Kvalyn was an orphan
and had lived (or a long time with
Mrs. Addy. who had been an old
friend of the girl's parents. Every
Sunday afternoon after dinner, when
the dishes were all washed and put
away. Kvalyn cnnie out and sat on (he
rustic bench under the maple, with
u book or letters to write. Some
times Mrs. Addy sat there too, but
today some one had taken her for a
ride in a crowded motorcar and there
was not even room for one more.
"Sorry, Eval.vn," called out Mr.
refers, as the widow squeezed Into
the tonneau. "Your turn nert time!"
"Don't bother about me, Mr. Peters,"
protested Evalyn. as she waved a Kay
farewell and returned to her bench.
But wbeD the car had vanished around
a turn of the country road she did
feel rather loneljk Sunday had a way
of shaking her out of her dally rou
tine and making her restlesa. though
she needed the repose. "It Is lonely—
Just us two. Isn't It. Bob?" she asked
the alredale beside her.
The dog cocked his head on one
side and barked sharply. Then he
Jumped down and ran frantically up
nnd down the yard, close to the fence.
"Funny how he does that every time
1 mention his name!" murmured Eva
lyn. thoughtfully, "hut he I* the dear
est thing, and he's all my own—un
less someone comes along and claims
htm; but no one could need him more
than I do. could they, Bobsy?" The
terrier came hounding to put his head
In her lap and caress her pretty
hands.
Some on* ramr whistling down the
path—a lull young man. bare-tieadnl
sun-burned, athletic looking. «'lth
clear gray eyes and well-brushed
brown hair. Evalyn had seen him be
fore—somewhere—It was an effort to
recall. He was a stranger lu the vil
lage.
He looked at Evalyn, a fleeting
glance that took In all her girlish
sweetness, even the blue of her eyes,
and then he saw the dog, stopped
short, and stared.
The alredale saw him at the same
moment, his ears lifted, and then one
cocked forward expectantly.
"Bob!" warned Eval.vn. patting out
a hand to stay his quivering body.'
But she was too late: In that fraction
of a second he had gained the fenrfe
; In two hounds and then sailed over
[ the barrier to fall lu a scrambling
' heap at the man's feet. Then he found
his halance and circled, leaped and
J harked frantically, scattering dust all
| over the nice clothes of the well
I dressed stranger.
j "Down 1" commanded the man
| kindly.
The alredale leaped and thrust a
I pink tongue at his cheek.
"Down, yon rascal!" laughed the
I stranger, stooping down to caress the
| dusty little gray hurricane. Then he
I lifted his eyes to Evalyn'* and smiled
at her. She was leaning over the
fence, panic-stricken for fear Boh had
| found his owner.
I "Your d<-g?" asked the nariess one.
Evalyn hesitated. Bob was her

friends—money to buy dozens of doss
—hut Bob belonged to her! Her
Dioiith set In a severe line.
"Belong to you?" asked the rann.
rising and looking her straight In the
eyes.
She nodded.
"Oh!" he exclaimed sharply and
looked away.
"Why did you ask—and why are
rou surprised?"
"I beg your pardon—but I thought
you were going to say, 'No.'" He
bent down, whispered something In
the dog's ear, patted the roncll cont
affectionately. Then he lifted Hob
and dropped him over the fence Into
the grass where he whined pitifully.
"Nice dog you have here." said the
I stranger squaring his shoulders as lie
turned away, but Kvalyn was sure
that his eyes were wet.
He went on his way. while the girl
J stared resentfully after him and the
I little dog crept close to the ground.
I following the fence, whining sofU*.
The man was opposite the house now,
he was passing the snowball bush,
soon he would be beyond recall.
Suddenly Evalyn gave a little sob
blng cry and ran across the yard.
She caught up with him as he passed
the snowball bush.
"Stop!" she cried.
As If he had been listening for that
call, he turned swiftly and leaped the
fence.
"You called me?" he asked eagerly.
The girl's charming face dropped
Into her hands. "If Is not ray dog—I
wanted him so—I found him In the
bushes beside the bridge a moijth aro
i —one of his paws was hurt: I think
an automobile must have struck him.
I I hrouirht him home—here—and he
j canse I have no one who really be
l longs to me. though Mrs. Addy Is so
kind. I adopted him. I tried to find
out Ills name—he wore "o collar—and
I tried ever so many, but when I said
"Bob" he went wild. I believed It was
his name That's all!"
The man's eyes fell to the dog, who
wns curled contentedly beside him.
"Hi* utune's 'baud)—he recuguliwl
my nnmo wh«i you called 'Boh.'* apol

Mm that day. Wl»n I got home I

him far behind, poor little betpar. If

Sandy wan leaping now lietween the
man and the girl, torn between two
loves. "Do you mind keeping hire
a while I oncer?" asked Rob Mason.
"1 will come after him Inter—It's too
bad to tear him away so suddenly."
"That Is very kind of you." said
Evnlyn primly, but her eyes shone
with Joy. When she was abwie with
the amnsed Sandy she kissed the
Startled canine on his black muule
"1 don't wonder you like him. Sandy."
she whispered.
Hob Mason, who turned ont to be
a stockholder In the lumber mill. liv

times to visit Sandy, tlmtirh Mrs. Addy
declared the poor beast'e played sec
ond fiddle to Evalyn. But late In the
fall, when It was too cold to sit un

She looked wistfully Into the glow

her dainty profile. "T.et Sandv

Make This Your 1922 Slogan
"Try The Home Market First"
As a Northerner, a Pioneer, an Upbullder of Alaska. too are
proved every time you hear of the appointment of a "carpetbagger"
to fill one of the political offices of the territory, because you know
that there are capable and efficient men living In the territory who
could fill the offices with perfect satisfaction, who are helping to
build up the territory and make It a worth while place to which to
live.
Is Is a parallel case when Northerners send their money out
side for supplies that may be bought right here at home and give
better satisfaction than th« "carpetbagger" stuff Imported from the
Slates.
Is It not a fact that we are all working to build up the North
to make it a worth-while place In which to lire, and by "trying your
home market first" you are strengthening tbe foundation for that
building?
Here's A Suggestion For A Starter
TRY THE ALASKAN'S JOB PRINTING DEPARTMENT FIRST. IT IS EQUIPPED
WITH MODERN MACHINERY AND MATERIAL, AND EFFICIENT
ARTISANS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE WORK
