It will be noticed ttaac other Al*
askan towns are preparing for
Fourth of July celebrations and it
behooves Skagway to be up an.'
doing. The Fourth occurs on
Thursday, three weeks from the
coming Thursday and the question
of which day we will celebrate will
have to be settled- ani> then the
'the;- communities advised of that
fact. Juneau it would seem has sot
tfii the Fort Seward boys for the
Fourth and as Skagway has been in
the habit of having its celebration
m the Saturday nearest the Fourth
it mitfht be well for us to again use
that day. That would' be the sixth

PRICE OF FISH
III 8E ADJUSTED
The past week has been &a event
ful one In the fish situation. Last
Wednesday morning the t prices fix
ed for fish by the Food Administra
tion were announced in Wranfcfcn.
The fixed price« Were so low as to
render fishing too unprofitablt to be
worthy of one's time and. efforts.
The fishermen were not alone
in their feeling of resentment. The
buyers also. reali2e<Si_that the prices
wer0 outrageously iow. Meetings
wtere held and protests were sent
to the Food Administration by both
fishermen and fish buyers.
Sunday another meeting was held
at which it was decided to send to
Juneau J. G. Bjorge and C. M. Coat
ter, representing the fish buyers,
and Arnt Sorset representing the
fishermen. Other citizens left for
Juneau later. ,
The fishermen were exactly right
in hanging upt their nets when the
Food Administration made its blun
der of fixing priecs 60 low as to
make it impossible to earn a living
while following fshug as a vocation.
No class of people have contri
buted more liberally to the Red
Cross in proportion to their means
than the fishermen.
The Food' Administration Is a.c
complissing more good for the cause
of the Allies' than any other agency
outside of the Army and Navy. The
Food Administration at Washington
ha»l not the slightest intention, of
being unjust to Alaskan fishermen.
It is allied' that the Food Ad
ministration at Washington would
never have "made 6uch a blunder
had. it not ibeen misled by those
whom It refie d upon for reliable-In

Subflcrttb© for The Dally Alaskan,
BECOMES IRKSOME AT TIMES
No Matter What the Nature of .One's
Occupation, Its Routine Will Oc
casionally Wecry.
Are there times when your work be
comes Intolerably Irksome? Yes? Well,
don't Jump at the conclusion that you
are in the wrong place when this hup<
pens once in awhile. That will be true
whatever work you choose. No matter
how well adapted you are to your occu
pation, there will come times wfaea
your thoughts will v/ander. and th'a
routine will weary you, and you will
feel that any oilier work would be
preferable to that which you havo
chosen. One of the best-known woman
writers of the last generation wrote
an impassioned warning to literary as
pirants, "telling them to do any work,'
even scrubbing floors, in preference to
taking up a literary career. Undoubt
edly she wrote at a time when her
•chosen work seemed unspeakably irk
some, but >T. she had been cornered,
she would probably have acknowledged
that the profession of authorship has
considerable to commend It when com
pared with scrubbing floors.' '' v " '
This occasional Impatience with our
vocation is Inevitable.- No matter how
congenial it is. there are times when it
will seem a burden: The people who1
change their occupation every time it
begins to bore them, are the tramps ot
the business* world.
As to Remarkable Longevity.
We have all read of Thomas Part,
who lived to be one hundred and flfty
two. Likewise of the countess of Des
mond, one hundred and forty-five;
Marjjaret I'atteu, one hundred and
thirty-seven; Thomas Damme, one
hundred and sixty-four; John Rovin,
one hundred and seventy-two; and Pe
ter Totton, who reached the age of one
hundred and eighty-five. But these
cases of extraordinary longevity lack
proof.
In the days when those persons
lived no accurate chronological records
were kept, and dates of occurrences
were usually fixed by associating them
in memory with other events believed
to have happened about the same time.
A man's Identity was liable to be con
fused with that of a grandfather of
the same name.
Nowadays nobody lives to any such
ages. Why Imagine that the extreme
limits of longevity have shrunk within
the last two or three centuries?

cieam than that which Is served

scdi fountain. Have you tried It?
THE REAL TEST
Of Herpicide la In Giving It i Thor
ough Trial.
There Is only one test by which to
Judge of the efficiency of any article
and that Is by Its ability to do that
which It la Intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point Is—do they eradicate Dan
druff and stop fulling hair?
No. they do not, but Herpicide does,
because it goes to the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks tile
papilla from whence the hair gets Jt»
life.
Letters from prominent people every
where are dally proving- that Newbro'a
Herpicide stands the "test of use."
It Is a delightful dressing, clear, pure
and free from oil or grease.
