"America For Americans"
STICK WITH JUNEAU
(Junealu Empire)
The interview printed elsewhere
with B. M. Behrends, Juneau'g pio
neer Danker and merchant, is reas
suring to the people of this city. Th
reasons he assigns for his optimism
are so clearly stated that they are
obvious. Juneau has met every call
that war has made upon her for
men and money, and she has res
ponded with more than asked for.
She has given hundreds of her
best material for soldiers and sailor
and other war work, and she has
given nearly a million in money.
*"et, as Mr. Behrends says, "there
has not been a failure of conse
quence or a sign of distress any
v. .tere; our business houses are
all on a solid and substantial basis."
The s'»>od showing of Juneau's
miiies under trying conditions, the
interest of the city in the growing
fishing industry, the certainty of a
coming demand for gold with the
certainty that we have the gold
locked in our hills, are all assuranc
es that the future of this city may
be looked forward to with confi
dence. They all tell us to "stick
with Juneau."
Those who stay here will b© on
the ground floor when the next for
ward movement comes and carries
the city to greater things than she
1 us yet attained, and with the great
it things will come greater prosperi
ty and greater wealth to residents.
And the next forward movement will
woe not later than the close of
tne war, and it Will come to
stay a long time. The world needs
gold now as she has not*needed It
for many years, and she will need
it more than ever when the re
adjustment comes.
In the meantime, Juneau should
become the headquartersf or a
great fishing industry. New fish
eries should be encouraged, and
those already established should
bring their main offices and head
quarters here.

Nearly every fellow Is in hopes that
Rome day he will be able to quit the
kind of work he is doln£. If It is hard
work, he wants to do something easy,

thing where he won't always have to
L-e running In and out.
The Clerk in a store Wiiuks he would
like a place where he wouldn't have to
work regular hours, and tue man
whose time belong* to himself thinks
he would like to be a clerk. "When
you are through with ihe day's work."
he says to the clerk, "you're through,
but 1 have always got something to
worry me."
Husband thinks that doing the houses
work and talking to the neighbor Is *

be perfectly happy if she could go out
and work like a man does.
Almost everybody 1s dissatisfied with.

ALASKA
James Wickersham, delegate to
congress, never misses an. oppor
tunity to advance the interests of
the territory he so ably represents.
Notwithtsanding his manifold du
ties in, Washington, Mr. Wickersham
is always at the beck and call of
his constituents, especially in mat
ters pertaining to Alaska.
Through the influence of Charles
EX Herron, ilr. Wickersham recently
made a typical Alaska speech be
fore the combined commercial and
civic organizations of Pittsburgh, Pa,
The affair was under the auspices
of the Kiwanis club and was hefld
in the ballroom of the William Penn
hotel. The Kiwanis club is strictly
a commercial organization and is
recognized as a standard in the
cast; Kiwanis is an Indian word
meaning "to trade." A large..repre
esntation from the following Pitts
burgh clubs heard Mr. Wickersham:
Pittsburgh Credit Men's associa
tion, Advertising Men'g club. Com
mercial club, Railroad Men's asso
ciation, Rotary club, Kiwanis club,
Builders' exchange, Hotel Men's as
sociation, Stewards' club, chamber
of commerce and the Bankers' asso
ciation.
Mr. Wickersham used as hip sub
ject, "Th© Resources of Alaska,"
and his speech received exceptional
ly favorable comment from the com
bined press of the city. In part the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times; published
th« following under the date of
May 17.:
"Alaska has more coal within her
borders than Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia combined. She
has more copper than Michigan.
Montana and Arizona; more tin
than Wales, more gold than. Cali
fornia and Colorado, and more agri
cultural land than Norway, Sweden
and Finland, which support a popu
lation 12,000,000 people from agri
culture alone," said James Wicker
sham, delegate to congress from Al*
aska ,at a luncheon yesterday noon
at the William Penn hotel, given by
the Kiawanis dub.
Mr. Wickersham referred to the
popular misunderstanding of Alaska
as a frozen country, and pointed
out that the coast on the Pacific
»—e of the peninsula is swept by
... >»arm Pacific current and the
a 011 this side never contain
so much ice as he seas every wint
er in Washington.
"We have the greatest river in
American territory — the Yukon."
continued Air. Wickersham. "It is
larger than the Mississippi. The
railroad being built from Seward
win open more than 6000 miles of
navigable streams to the commerce
of this country. The area of Alas
ka is 590,800 square miles, Just 13
times the size of Pennsylvania.
He advocates the development of
the country, particularly with a
view to protectioa against a pos
sible future Asiatic ■ enemy in the
Pacific, or the permanent occupation
of Russia by Germany.
"At the time Mr. Hobeon was
CA
fussing about the yellow peril we
actually had only 30 days' supply
of coal for the naval forces on
the Pacific, and even, now, coal is
shipped from the Pocahontas; rgeion
of Virginia to the Atlantic seaboard
and carried around the Horn for
the naval vessels on duty In Alas
ka waters," he said.
Cus^idy purchased a new auto
mobi'e. am! while *till inexperienced
In the handling of it he drove down one
of the crowded thoroughfares of the
clt.v. Coming to a crossing where traf
ac was held up he lost control of the
car and ran squarely Into a handsome
limousine. The crowd which gathered
found the situation amusing, and to
add to Fat's discomfiture the crossing
policeman, a big Irishman, commenced
to berate him.
"Since when did you learn to droive
a car?" demanded the officer. "What's
yer name?" k
"Cassldy." acsvered Put.
"So?" said the policeman interestedly.
"And where are you from?-'
"County Clare." said Pat.
"Say." said the cop. "how the divvil

Wanted to Be Truthful.
On one occasion Hall Calne met a
fellow writer who had to confess that
he had never read any of his books. 11
was daring one of Mr. Caine's visits to
the United States, when at a banquet
(Iven in his honor Thomas Nelson Page
had been asked to introduce the guest
of the evening. Just before the toasts
began one of the diners passed his
menu card round the table, with the
request that Mr. Caine would sign his
autograph upon it as a memento of the
occasion.
"Good idea." said Nelson Page, "ill
send my card along also. I've got to

A FACT PROVEN.
Should CoovtsK Even the Most Skep
tical of Its Truth.
If there is Ihe slightest doubt In tlis
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their telief is compelled by the
fact that a rahblt innoculated with the
germs became ba'.d in six weeks' time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
baldness is the destruction of the germ—
which act Is successfully accomplished
In one hundred per cent, of cases by
t"he application of Newbro's Herbicide.
Dandruff Is caused by the same germ
which causes baldness and can be -pre
vented with the same remedy—Newbro's
Herptctde,
