EDITORIAL
"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans '
SAVING DAYLIGHT
Savior daylight is advocated In
the following editorial from tlie
Ketchikan Miner:
"In 'he mail box this morning
the following was received, signed
'A Sav°x of daylight.'
'"Mr. Editor:—
'"You have been preaching econ
omy quite a while, and I agree
wlfh yoj that we should save In
ever/ respect; but why not do some
saving oa daylight. It may be just
a peculiarity on my part, but I be
lieve in getting up early and go
iug to bed early, and I save a
good bit b£ It.'
"Hire the writer, we believe In
retiring early and rising early,
aud we don't know but what the
idea is good.. At least tho prin
ciple is sound..
"Timo is money; and both time
aud money impose limitations.
Therefore, if by rising eaxly we
save time, we must of necessity save
money, aud goodness knows money
iniD- >3 more limitations than any
thing we know of.
"There is no use trying to
deny 'hat in Alaska, were we to Bet
our clocks back one or two hours,
we would be gaining coming and go
liit,. For instance, business men
would close their store an hour or
two before they do now, and would
have enough daylight left to take
a trip across the bay, or watch a
baseball game or fishing or some
thing. all before darkness. As it
is now, we sleep until the sun
burns holes in our coverings ®n.d
feel our way through darkness for
a 1'Ule walk after a day's work.
From that it would seem that
provided we claim to be w-fee, we
must claim to be such only in
spo's, Is'ot consistently wise, you
understand, but sfimewhatj foolish
in spots.." _ J

A BIT OF SYMPATHY
It la posing strange that some
oeopla do not eventually realize
thielr limitations and after the
spurious vent of spleen and ljile
do not come out of It and acknowl
edge tt« corn. .
Tfceru seems to be a well con
centrated action of the coast towns
to continually hammer Anchorage,
the metropolis. Never do they al
low an opportunity to pass and
frequently draw upon tlieitf imagina
tion au'l falsify their statement.
Li'-e the drowning man and the
strt'w 'hey grassp at anything.
—Anchorage Times.
This piteous cry of distress en
eases our sympathies and provokes
our protest against suchi unseemly
behavicr towards the unfortunate.
Anchorage has don® nothing, abso
lutely nothing, to arouse the envy
of a real town, but much to solicit
the compassion of more fortunate
communities..

PUPILS OUTSPELL PARENTS.
Scholars Defeat Their Elders In •
School Contest.
Tacornn. Wash.—Members of the
eighth grnile of the Jefferson school
defeated their parents In a geograph
ical or "railroad" spelling match held
in the school.
Mrs. Clarence Bitney, who had stood
alone on her side for thirty minutes,
retired u hen she could nut think of a
geographical name beginning with "G"
after her daughter liutli, on the oppo
site side, had finished spelling "Dar
ling," one of the largest rivers in Aus
tralia.
When the match was ever three of
the eighth grade pupils were still
stauding. These were Johanna Mad
sen, Rene Lechner aud Ruth Bltuev.
LONG TRIP ACROSS ATLANTIC.
Gale* Stripped Ship Westqate of Can
vas. but She Got Here.
New York.—After a passage of 110
days from Lou^n, the British full
rigged sliip Westqate arrived here re
cently. She was loaded with chalk
and sailed Dec. 11. Encountering gales,
almost all her sails were blown away,
and she drifted about the Atlantic,
dually mantiging to make Barbados.
There she was fitted wilh new canvas,
with which she put to sea again.
She was off Barnegnt March 24 and
she tried day after day to get here, but
failed. Captain Steele finally decided
she was tired out. aud he bailed the
tug Marion I.ee, which towed him here.
One of the crew was taken .iff at quar
antine suffering from fever.
BEAR INVADES FARMS.
Kills Sheep and Pigs and Escapee Into
a Swamp.
Sbelbyvllle. Del.—A large cinnamon
bear is terrorizing the inhabitants of
Costen Station. In several instances
in the past few weeks tiie bear has
made its appearance ut farmhouses,
frightening the women and chasing
away the men.
The weather evidently has cut off Its
food supplies, and It is killing sheep
and pigs on many farms. It has been
bunted several times, but its trail In
variably leads to a swamp which is
practically impervious to man. It is
supposed that the bear is one that es
caped from a circus about seven years
ago near Princess Anne.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Hot Application* For Pain.
Pain and a tight feeling In the
chest are greatly relieved by an
application of turpentine—spirits
of turpentine—a few drops sprin
kled on a piece of hot flannel
which has been wrung out of
hot water. It is difficult, how
ever, to wring flannel out of
boiling water without scalding
the fingers. The best plan,
therefore, is to hold the flannel
by the corner, drain for an In
stant, then put it in a towel
lengthwise. Take each end of
the towel in the hands and
twist in opposite directions. This
will wring the flannel almost
dry, yet leave it very warm.
The turpentine application is
also an excellent remedy for pain
in the abdomen, especially the
colicky kind of pain caused by
catching cold.
