COl .NTRY FAIR A SUCCESS.
The Southeastern Alaska Country Fair, the first of its kind every at
tempted locally, was in every way a success. It far surpassed the hopes
of its most sanguine supporters and justified every claim and argument ad
vanced by them in their campaign to put It over. It has made history in this
part of Alaska and should pove to be the beginning of an era of increased
agricultural activity.
To one of the homesteaders, G. J. Dahl. of Spuhn Island, credit Is due
for the idea. Mr. Dahl last year after harvesting his crops made a display
locally of specimens of some of them and urged that this year an opportun
ity be given farmers generally to exhibit their goods. Credit for carrying
out the idea, the devising and putting into execution of plans which made
the Fair possible belongs to the Juneau Commercial Association, its Fair
Committee and the manager selected by it, E. M. Kane. He has devoted
himself without stint to the enterprise, giving unreservedly of b's time
and energy for many weeks. He is deserving of the thanks and gratitude
of the entire community for his unepariug work.
But not all of the work of Mr. Kane and his committee helpers could
have made the Fair the success It was had It been without the sympathetic
and understanding support of the farmers themselves. The mannr In which
they responded to the local Invitation by bringing and sending exhibits, In
nearly every instance at some personal sacrifice, was the deciding factor in
the outcome.
The Fair was generally satisfactory to everyone concerned. It should
be but the first of many more. It should and probably will become an an
nual institution In this community and be the means of bringing the farm
ers in closer touch with local merchants and markets. Their interests are
identical and an annual Fair will advance them as no other agency would
be able to do.—Juneau Empire.
IS AMERICA SELFISH
Many Americans think that America has not done enough for Europe.
Many Europeans in the old country think likewise.
T: ere Is. however, a considerable difference between tne8e two classes
of observers. The Americans we hare referred to are led by motives of un
selfishness and generosity to the opinion that still more could be done. The
Europeans, ignoring all that haa been done, feel dlsgruntltd merely be
cause they would like to be recipients to a still greater extent.
Americans of foreign extraction can perhaps appreciate the situation
better than the native born ones. We have personal knowledge of the con
ditions that prevail in different European countries; we are able to ex
change ideas with those people abroad in their own language, and we come
more in contact with them than others do. We are aware that America en
tered into the war in order to save millions from being killed, and that she
has given billions of dollars and an enormous number of lives without ask
ing anything in return. Each one of the victorious nations has received
something of the war spoils; the only one that demanded nothing and re
ceived nothing for her generosity la America. When peace came, America
wtihout asking who was frieud and who was enemy, helped either side and
is still helping them.
The foreign language press of this country reaches every part of the
world. It should feel duty-bound to counteract the influence of those dis
satisfied European newspapers and to enlighten the world on the grand pos
ition which America haa occupied In this matter throughout.— (Translation
from Narod, Bohemian.)
THK CANADIAN DOLLAR
Americana can no longer plume themselves on having "the soundes'
money in the world." Canada's dollar is back to par now. worth as much
as our own. The alight difference In quotation that remains Is merely the
cost of skipping gold from one country to the other. The Canadian dollar
a year or two ago was worth only S3 cents.
t anada. after the armistice, resisted the temptation, to which so many
other nations succumbed, to raise money by forced Issues of banknotes
When-it had to have loans It borrowed on bonds, and it kept expenditures
as low as possible. The inflationists never had a chance.
Along with this sound management, Canada had a good deal of unoffi
cial and indirect help from the United States. The money poured across the
border for bootleg liquor haa helped materially to stabilize the Canadian
dollar. So has American tourist expenditure. The emergency tariff law lr
given considerable credit, too, because it led the Canadians to retaliate by
cutting down their purchase of our goods and so keeping their gold at
home.
But all in all. it is a remarkable triumph of conservative statesmanship
for which Canada deserves full credit. No country In the world has donp
a better piece of post-bellum reconstruction.—Morning Register (Eugene.
Oregon.)
"All Dolled. Up-With a Lot of Fool Pride
Which Is Holding Them Back"
By E. V. ("EDDIE") RICKENBACKER, American Aviator.
25^. ££i52SanS252Si55S2SaS2SHS2S25HS2Sti^Sai"d3£SciS SS2ii25c52S2HS"dK525
Practically everything that I have been able to accomplish is due to
my willingness to work at any kind of a job I could get until I could
better myself. I am naturally proud, but 1 do not let pride get in my
wa> in the matter of making a living.
From my earliest boyhood I have had a great deal of self-confidence.
If this business in which 1 am engaged should collapse. 1 would take
the :irst thing 1 could tind in the way of employment. My feeling about
the matter is that in case I should have to start with a spade or a shovel,
in a short time I should be bosaing the gang, and that would put me in
position for further promotion. My first objective would be to get a job
of some kind at any pric# and then fight my way up.
Tbe trouble with a lot of people is that they are not willing to begin
anywhere in order to get a fighting chance. They are all dolled up with a
lot of fool pride which is constantly holding them back. Throw away that
pride. IS'o honest work is b|neaUi you. j
"It's a Boy," Father Tells Friends;
"Girl," Aver Physicians in Hospital
New York, Sept. 22.—Counsel for
Kdward Ricu statistician for the
Underwood Typewriter company, Is
preparing to take legal action to And
out whether the baby born to Mrs.
Berti.a Rich, of No. 22 Dwight street,
Jersey City, on August 12 was a boy
or a girl, and whether her own child
was returned to her by a sanitarium
in which it was placed.
Mrs. Rich says it was a boy. Her
husband says his wife told him the
baby was a boy. The officials of thee
Bergen Sanitarium did not give Mrs.
Rich nues, Jersey City, say the baby
was a girl.
Rich declares that the sanitarium
did not give Mrs. Rich her own baby,
and he has retained Charles E. S.
Simpson, an attorney.
According to Rich, his wife told
him that Dr. David Russel said to
'ier:"It's a boy." Rich told his office
associates that he was the father ol
a boy, and mailed announcement tc
his friends. >
On August 18, says Rich, Dr. Rus
set asked him what name he desired
to give the child. Rich selected "Ed
ward. Jr.," whereupon, Rich says,
the pliysician wrote "Edwlna" on the
birth record. On liie same day, ac
cording to the puzzled father, Mrs.
Rich told the new nurse to "give the
boy * bath," whereupon the nurse
exclaimed: "It's a girl."
Dr. Russell's explanation is that
Mrs. Rich's desire to have a boy was
so strong that she thought the child
born to her was a boy. When the ba
by was born, be said be told Mrs.
Rich It was a girl, and so did the
nurses.
Dr. Peter Maras, vice-president of
the sanitarium, sai4 that Mrs. Rich's
baby was born prematurely and
weighed between three and four
pounds, and if there had been a
thousand babies in the sanitarium at
the time it wocld have been impos
sible to have made a substitution.
GOVERNMENT IS TEARING
DOWN BIG SHIP PLANT
Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—Hog Isl
and, where rose the shipbuilding
industry during the war that gave
the United States renewed prestige
in the maritime world, soon will be
the flat field it was before Uncle
Sam invested $270,000,000 there.
But the 940 acres will be habitable,
as sanitary engineers have made it
so.
Where once an army of 36,000 men
were building high-class vessels at
record-breaking speed, there now is
a detail of 50 men armed with ox
acetylene torches and other instru
ments with which the demolition of
the gigantic ways and other equip
ment is being wrought. The work I
of dismantling the mammoth ma
chinery of war is progressing at a
rapid pace.
The government's attampt to dis
pose of the plant by auction having
brought only low bids, It was de
cided to sell it piecemeal. Ponderous
as is much of the equipment, the
government's Investment at Hog
Island represents nearly everything
that man requires. In the words of
J. T. Eason, the government's agent
in charge of the sale, "everything
except airplanes, pianos and oil
paintings." Nearly every day auction
I sales are held to dispose of things
ranging from household furniture to
steel In 100.000 ton lots. It is esti
mated that by the time the sale
closes, December 1, $25,000,000 will
have been realized on steel and
equipment alone. One of the recent
large purchases made at the yard j
was by a New York steel brokerage
house, which bought 105,000 tons of
steel.
Twenty-flve of the 50 huge ways, j
represeniing high engineering skill,
are already down, and the general ;
appearance of the yard today is that i
of a tornado-swept place. It is ex-1
pected that some large manufactur- j
ing or storage plant will be erected j
on Hog Island after the government
has cleared It off.

Judge Tells of Juries Shooting Dice
To Decide Fate of Alleged Criminals
Akron, Ohio, Sept. 22.—-"The ma
chinery which our officials use today
in the administration of justice is
that machinery which was evolved in
the days of the stage-coach and the
knitting machine," declared Miss
Florence E. Allen, on^ of Cuyahoga
county's twelve common plea Judges,
addressing the East Akron board of
trade.
Judge Allen urged a higher moral
code and the introduction of business
methods in the administration of
Justice, together with abandonment
of outworn machinery of the law in
•favor of new codes tempered to the
needs of the present.
She said judges are hampered in
. their decisions by the enormous am
ount of litigation which has to be
handled and by the circumstance
that there Is no acknowledged head
to the judicial departments.
"i' have worked with many juries
whose ability I questioned." said
Judge Allen, pleading that substan
tial citizens of the community aban
don their practice of pulling every
I wire to avoid Jury evidence.
I "I know positively of Instances in
| which Juries played cards, or shot
dice, In order to arrive at a speedy
decision, and criminals of the worst
typee were thereby, turned loose up
on the community," asserted Judge
Allen.
KKNO LEAVES OX LAST
TRIP UP STEWART
Tbe steamer Keno got away last
night for Mayo. This is the last
trip she will make up the Stewart
River this season. It is not certain
what other boats will go to Mayo
this year. The Thistle has made her
last trip up, and the Neecheah Is on
the Stewart yet. The Klondike also
is up the Stewart. Whether or not
any of those boats will go up the
StewiTrt again this fall is unknown,
it may be, however, that the Hazel
B. will be seat up for a trip or two.
and she may leave here for Stewart
Sunday morning.
The Keno had little freight last
evening. She took only'about twelve
tons. It is underst.tod that most of
the freight which traders and big
companies had planned to ship to
the Mayocamp this season has been
landed there.
