HOI.IHNU YOIK OWN
The ability to get is far more common than ability to keep. Of twen-j
ty men. each earning the same salary for twenty years, only one is likely
to have anything saved at the end of that time.
A life insurance company recently estimated that one man in a hund
red leaves wealth when he dies. Sixty per cent, die with nothing. Yet at
least :.0 per cent, earn through their lifetimes irore than they actually need
to sustain life.
The capacity to say "No" is a great factor in money saving. A fixed
and unalterable determination never to gamble is a greater one.
Practically all the victims of the bucket shop operators lately exposed I
were gamblers. They wanted to get something Tor nothing. They hoped '
to gain fortunes without working for them.
Gamblers are always easy victims for sharpers. There is nothing as
quickly imposed upon as cupidity.
Opportunities for safe Investment come to all people. Only those who
have saved money can take advantage of them. Only those who have the .
intelligence to tell a good investment from a had one can profit by thetn. I
A very little money saved every year may be the foundation for a com- !
vetence A very large salary, three-quarters of which could be saved, is of
no value whatever in the end it its recip.ent is in such a hurry to get rich
that he bites at every shining financial lure held out to him.
The writer has recently examined the prospectus of a company which I
declares that an in vest n * of ten shares of stock at a share in a min
ing company will insure a fortune for the investor.
There is nothing whatever in t' e prospectus to show that the company
has anything of value to »-11. . el hundreds of people will probably invest
iu it—and lose their money.
The world is full of people who want your savings, and who are un
scrupulous enough to bilk you to get them.
if you I -te«i to them, you are in danger. The gambling mania is easily
acquired.
Keep away from them. Save your money and invest it wisely. Some
day a real opportunity nut;, come by which your work and your capital will
make you independent. But be very sure it is a real opportunity before you
lisk anything on it.—"Cncommoti Sense." by John Blake in Seattle P.-I. I
KENO'S CHIEF NKEI>—Words worthy of the consideration of every
claim owner in the Keno area of the Mayo district were embraced In the in
terview with N T. Willis, civil engineer, published in the News Thursday.
Mr. Willis stated in effect that the d.strict will not become a producer of
consequence until n.uch more development work is done, and that holders
of claims cannot expect to real ze larue sums from their properties by sim
ply allowing them to lie there idle. One claim lias yielded practically all
the ore shipped from the hill to date. Several other claims apparently
equally as good have been developed sufficiently to assure an output for
perhaps two or three seasons. Apparently not exyeedlng four to six claims
have been developed sufficiently to make thedl assured producers. Numer
ous other claims have splendid surface ind cations, and the hill has rich
outcrops and extensive manganese and surface indications on nearly every
< .rner, while adjoining hills are in most promising positions. But indica
tions and promising surface showing do not make a mine. Shafts must ha
sunk, tunnels run or diamond driilin g or other real testing done in order
to determine if ore is there in quantity.—Dawson News.
CREMT TO \\ IK».M Ul'E.—A recent news item is to the Intent that
the movie people, ihru their high salaried superintendent. Will Hayes, has
recalled all the Kims in which Fatty Arbackle. of recent notoriety, appear
ed This means the annulling of something like ten thousand contracts, it
also means that iu the minds of the movie public who have been able to
reach the ear of the magnates, that Fatty is guilty enough of some crime,
whether murder or not, to have his name, face and acting stricken from the
films to be shown the boys and girls of our land. It's a healthy sign in two
directions, one that the magnates still have regard to what the public want
in the films issued, and, second, that the public is not entirely dead or
dumb as to the morals of the people whom they watch perform thru tho
medium of the camera.
BUREAU MOVEMENTS.—Alaskans generally will approve of the ac
tum. which, it is asserted, is to be taken, relative to the movement of the
bureaus, which have dealing -with and for Alaska, looking towj.rd their
transfer from Seattle, Portland. Washington and other places to Alaska.
1 his change will be particularly beneficial fur the territory. But it is not
expected that this transfer will be taken in lieu of a real coordination "of
the 5T varieties of bureaus into one head with headquarters here, and au
thority to settle all but the general and primary question of policy. Juneau
is the logical place for these directors, because Juneau is the capital. When
the bureau of education is transferred we will begin to believe that the
transfer is actually to take place. Until then •••••*•••

BLUE OR YELLOW?
By AGNES Q. BROGAN
OopyrUrbi. W«Hi«rn Newspaper Union
"And we will have ■ blue rug In tlie
guest room," said Janey, "because
mother loves blue, and she will be
coming to visit us a lot."
The young man opposite moved un
comfortably In his chair.
"Now, Janey," he remarked, "You
have decided upon everything In our
prospective home, without giving me
a look in. I kept quiet, while you ar
ranged the living room In fancy, and
tilted out your dining room; nor did
I say a word when you left no place
for my hobbies or studies. But my
mother will come to visit us too. and
■die happens to have a preference for
yellow.
"It's been almost an obsession with
her—a cheery sunshiny room. I've
heard her dream over it often, and
coax dad In her diffident way for a
new rug or a set of curtains, and he,
reading and smoking over his paper,
put all her dreams to flight with a
casual refusal. 'Old rug good enoueh!'
he'd say. or 'What do we want with
new fixtures when Jim Is leaving for
a home of his own'; and mother would
smillng'iy submit.
"Poor mother, putting always my
wishes before her own. So I made a
little plan. It was the very night that
you said ves, Janey. and I was swing
ing along under the stars, and glory
ing over our home, and I said to my
self, mother will have her yellow
cheer-room there, and she can come
to It as often as she wants. So, little
lady—" big Jim moved closer and
placed his hand over Jane.v's. "you'll
give In on this, won't you. and come
out to choose a yellow rug?" The girl
withdrew her hand.
"My mother." she returned evenly,
"has always loved blue. And she al
ways hail to buy furnishings uhlch
happened to be cheapest at the time,
or more serviceable, so her own
particular room Is a conglomeration.
She managed, and scrimped, the way
mothers do. to make my room rose
colored. And I'm bringing my rose
covered mahogany to our own house,
Jimmy. After von left me that night,
I did some planning of my own. It
was a blue room that I planned, for
mother to revel In, when she could
steal away for a time from father and
his exactions, and—1 will co with you,"
ended Janey firmly, "to choose a blue
rug tomorrow."
Jim turned from his fiancee without
kissing her. "Good-night," he said ab
ruptly. and was gone.
Rebelllously. Janey went to her

"Sometimes." she said, anger flusn
Ing her cheeks, "I feel as If I do not
want to nmrry Jim. He's so terribly
dominating: If I allow him to rule me
now. mother. I shan't have the life of a
mouse."
The woman bending patiently over
her mending smiled. "How does Jim
try to rule you. dear?" she enquired.
"About our house," Jiiney excitedly
replied. "I waut a blue guest room:
you know you also like blue, mother—
and Jim Is obstinately determined on
yellow."
Mrs. Wilfred turned a senm, "Yellow
Is bright and pleasing," »he noncomlt
tlnfriy returned.
Jim found his mother reading.
"How Is our little Jane.v tonight?"
she asked brightly. "Jaoey." her
somber faced son replied, "has ex
hibited this eveulug a new phase of
character. And I don't like It. She
has showed me that I am to have no
word In the planning of ray own home.
Mrs. Gray looked distressed.
"Girls usually like to plan their
houses." she defended, "perhaps there
Is Just one certain thing that Jauey
has set her heart on."
When Jim. stubborn In his suffering
determination not to surrender to
what he considered Janey's whim,
absented himself from her presence
for weeks. Jane.v, too. suffered In
silence. The little house In Arcad.v was
neither nought out, nor tenanted;
while blue room or yellow room, were
not to be thought of bearably—at all.
Janey's mother and Jim's mother eon
suited together, dismayed.
"My dear." said Janey's motner to
her one day, "1 want you to go dnwn
to Hedstrom's and select a blue rue.
Father sees his way now for us to re
furnish my upper front room."
And "Jim." begged Mrs. Gray dif
fidently. "would you mind stopping at
Hedstrom's this noon during your
lunch hour? There Is a yellow ru^
there that 1 have arranged to buy. I
The salesman will show It to you. I'd
like your Judgment before having the
rug seut to the house."
The salesman at Hedstrom's was
becoming Impatient with Ills apathetic ;
customer. .Taney, listless, pale, viewed
Indifferently one blue rug after 1
another: she was wondering how Jim i
could so persistently avoid her—and |
If he had known this queer longing j
ache, which constantly possessed her.
A gruff voice nearby caused the sales
man to turn with a start.
"Something In yellow," demanded"
Jlra. Ills eager eyes met Janey's "In I
—In blue I mean," he amended breath- I

rugs, understand; I have no wish
to ever see—a yellow rug again." The ,
salesman stared: fill listless cus
tomer was suddenly close at this queer
young man's elbow. "And as for me." f
she laughed back softly, "you can roll
up nil your blue rags. Mother may 1
chose her own. Why. all the fixings |
I"\e been maktng during the past •

SCOUTS
/S
(Conducted by National Council of the Boj
Scout■ of America.)
KEEPS SCOUTS BUSY
By virtue of being kept on the spot
at the uutlonal capital, Washington
scouts timl plenty of worthwhile good
turns to Uo. A case In point is the
srrenuous ami Important service ren
dered in connection with the cere
monial homage to Uie unknown dead.
From the moment the body of the un
known soldier was transferred froui
the battleship Olympla to the cnpitol,
to the hour when the last of the Armis
tice day crowd dispersed, the scouts
were on duty early and late. On the
Wednesday afternoon preceding Armis
tice day they helped keep the liue at
the capitol in the drizzling rain. The
next morning a large delegation, con
sisting of two scouts from each troop
contributing, acted as a guard of honor
to the hoy scout wreath placed ou the
bier of the unknown soldier and from
noon until far into the evening other
scouts were on guard with the marines
and police, keeping the plaza clear and
the great throng moving in orderly pro
cession. Early the next morning they
were again up and doing, taking their
appointed places along the avenue.
With the passing of the parade, the
boys fell iu with the throngs who
Hocked to Arlington, only to return
again to duty iu the afternoon to help
direct the crowd gathered Informally
to pay Its respects to Mr. Wilson.
At the ceremonial Itself at Arlington
u picked body of scouts participated
headed by Colin II. Livingstone, presl
dent of the Boy Scouts of America. am
accompanied by ilustoti Thompson
president of the local council, Orvllle
IV Drown, seout commissioner for
Washington and Kdward D. Shaw,
scout executive. As the wreath wa?
pluced upon the bier the scouts, eomln;
to attention, related the scout oatli
an«l law. Continuing during the whole
period of the conference for the con
^deration of the limitation of ariua
tuent.MUO scouts will be dally on duty
as pages, arrangements having been
:nade with the su|>crintendent of
schools to excuse them from school at
tendance during the days in which
their respective turns to serve corne.

GOOD TURNS IN BRIEF
A San Francisco »oy, finding a man
tnken suddenly ill on the street, took
him to a hospital, spending all the
money he possesses In car fare and
consequently bavin* to walk to his
own home later, a distance of three
miles.
Some Smlthtown. Long Island,
scouts, scouting the woods and follow
ing trail marks like regular Indian*.
finally discovered an octogenarian who
had strayed off from his home and got
himself thoroughly lost.
After all, American pronunciation
of French words Is no funnier than
French pronunciation of American
words.

MaKe This Your 1922 Slogan
" Try The Home Market First"
As a Northerner, a Pioneer, an Cpbullder of Ala** a. ron are
peeved every time you hear of th« appointment of a "carpetbagger"
to fill one of the political offices of the territory, bocaoee you know
that there are capable and efficient men living In the territory who
could fill the officea with perfect satisfaction, who are helping to
build up the territory and make It a worth while place Id 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 the "carpetbagger" stuff Imported from the
Stales.
Is It not a fact that we are all working to bnlld np the Nortto
to make it a worth-while place In which to ll*e, and by "trying yoor
home market first" you are strengthening the foundation for that
building?
