Enthusiasm marked the meeting

night, and plaus were made for a
series of literary musical en-H
tertainments to be givea during
the remainder of the winter. The
first social gathering, to be held
Friday, February 8, will be for
members only. Later it is planned
to give an event to which the
public will be invited.
A committee consisting of Fred
Ped^rsen, Paul McClelland, and
Miss Martha Maggillicuddy was
appointed to work up the entertain
ment, which will consist of a mock
trial, divorce or other ttuut guaran
teed !o bring a roar of laughter
from the audience.
Bank statements show the club
has $65.35 on hand, and bills were
read and allowed for au amount
totaling $11.20. No itlmized state
ment was read, but an effort is
being niyde to secure the same.
Mr. Landsborough, the treasurer,
having left Skagway, a new elec
tion was held for that office and
B. A, Ross was voted to fill ou the
remainder of the year, which closes
in. Mnrch.
It wts moved and carried that the
Mazama£ mountain club of Port
land, and tlie Mountaineers club
of Seattle and Tacoma should be

mer. The Alpine club volunteers
to furnish guides to htese two or

of the same. The idea expressed
NEW HOME CARD
ILL BE BENT
PEOPLE
A su».elemental Home Card with
additional directions to the First
Home Card and carrying a personal
message from United States Food
Administrator, Herbert Hoover con
cerning the necessity oJ the most
rigid conservation of certain es
sent'al foods at this time, is now
in the hands of the printer and
when received will be widely dis
tributed throughout the Territory
by the chairmen of the various
food-saving committees and other
representatives.
Also, there is now being printed
interesting com meal and oatmeal
leaflets which will go to every home
signing the pledge card along
with the new Home Card. The U.
S. Food Administration is now ask
in ff at least the observance of
ON'E WHEATLESS day each week)
and one WHEATLESS MEAL each
day, the wheatleas day to be Wed
nesday. By wheatless Is meant to
eat no wheat products.
ON'E MEATLESS day each weeSj
Wuich. shall be Tuesday and one
meatless meal each day. By meat
less is meant to eat no red meat—
'*ef, pork, mutton, veal, lamb; no
pieserved meat—beef, Ibacon, ham
or lard.
ON'E PORKLESS day each week
in addition to Tuesday, which shall

no fresh or salted pork, bacon, lard

SUGAR.—You can materially re
duce sugar by reducing the use of
candy and sweet drinks. We will
mase every endeavor to see that
the country is provided with a
suoolv of household sugar on the
basis of three pounds of 6Ugar for
each jerson per month. Do not con
sume more.
The card further continues by
stigmatizing hoarding as selfish,
an-d t'<e cause of high prices. It
further says any person in the
United States who buys more food
stuffs than he cutomarily keeps
at home, at these times, is de
feat n~ the Food Adminitratian in
its purpose to secure a just
distribution of food, and its en
deavors to reduce prices.
It also says that there is much
inslduous propoganda in the country
against conservation and increased
production. AH opposition to
these services ia direct j
assistance to the enemy.
Ittmar Ben Avi is editor of the first
daily paper ever published in Jerusa
lem, snd properly a Hebrew paper—
the Jerusalem tlsov.
wns tt'»t these should lie the pro
perty of the club, and that who
ever uses them should leave on,
depoit enough, money to cover the
cost, the same to be returned when
the goods are returned.
It was thought best to secure a
more nnblic meeting place and Miss
Agnes Moffatt and Ralph M. Peder
sen were appointed to secure the
necessary room.
Tue secretary, Mrs. J. JI. Keller,
was Instructed to obtain a post
office box for the club.
A communication from the Moun
taineers club of Seattle was read
in which the plea was made for
epagiium moss, whJiob, growa pro
fusely in Alaska, to be nsed for
surgical purposes.
The question of constitution was
brought up, and a committee con
sisting of J. M. Keller, Mrs. C. C.
Cole, aiid Mrs. Eric Telfer were giv
en authority to draft the constitu
tion to completion. Sections only
have been adopted heretofore.
Ccffee and doughnuts were Berv
ed, and everyone reported a most
enjoyable and satisfactory evening.
Anticipation for the entertainment
is running high. , !

IN THOSE DEAR OLD DAYS
HAMLET
Hamlet. Prince of Denmark, was :
the son of a noble father and of
a mother with a weak jvill and
strong passions.
Hamlet hAd an "excess of intel
lectuality and a lack of practical
activity;" he paid little atten
tion to tke pressing facts of every
day Ufa and too much attention to
the working out of his own fancies.
Therefor*, when he plunged into
circumstances demanding instaot ac
tion, delayed Bo long that in the
end he was almost powerless.
But when Hamlet chose his
friends, he choee not the weak mini,
ed people like Poionius, but Hora
t'o, the "devotedly unselfish schol
ar and soldier," and Fortinbras, the
firm, self possesed leader, who in
the »*d, is destined, with the
J el/- of Horatio, to re-organize
the shaken kingdom.
Hamlet was most assuredly brave;
he was ready in an instant to go
with ♦!>? ghost, altho' his friends
tade Mm not to; and then he board-*
ed the pirate's shie in contempt of
the treachery and cowardice of the
courtiers of the king. His atti
tude toward anyone that wag not
sincere and noble, was of sarcasm
and hostility.
PertapB if Hamlet's mother and
Opfhelia had been worthy of his
love, he would have succeeded, ln
steaid tt failing in his task as
signed him by his father. His love
for his father is the most import
ant feature of the play.
He surely must have had self
control for he shows it when Hora
tio tells htm at>out the ghost, and
he makes his truest friends prom
ise to keep the Becret while he
assumes madnes. But although
he assume madnes, he IS mad on
one BUbJect, and that Is revenge.
And then Hamlet is a man of
culture. His appreciation of poetry
is shown in his talks witfo; the
pdayers. He is also a great phil
osopher but , unlike Horatio, he
made his mistake in not applying
his philosophy to Mmself. He is
humorous, and «ven in the mo
ments of death he could make bis
pun or point. •
