fCT COLISEUM TONIGHT
If Harrieet Hammond hadn't been
determined to win fame as a concert |
pianist, If this determination had
not resulted in a breakdown; if her
physician had not advised outdoor
•work, the silver screen would pro
bably never have reflected tlie face
of a girl who has been termed "the
most beautiful young woman in pic
tures."
Miss Hammond, who plays an im
portant role in the William Christy
Gabanne Robertson-Oole production
“Live and Let Live,” which will be
screened at the Coliseum Theatre for
two days beginning tonight, was born
In Bay City. Michigan. She went to
Los Angeles as a baby. At a very
early age she manifested a decided
talent for the piano and began study
ing music with a view toward the
concert stage. Poor health finally]
put an end to her studies but. of an
energetic and creative turn of mind,]
Miss Hammond naturally turned to
the movies.
In “Live and Let Live,” Miss Ham-j
mond has her first dramatic patt and j
like many of her predecessors who!
have been recruited front th “bath
ing suit parade,” she has been found j
to possess extraordinary dramatic |
ability.

ment feels assured that every one
who sees this wonderful picture will
be well satisfied with it.
“(rod's Country and the Law” is
a vigorous story of primitive men
and stout hearted, beautiful women
of red blooded adventure, surprise
and suspense, mystery and thrills.
Nearly all of Curwood’s stories pro
duced thus far have been laid in
snow-covered land. Here is a North
woods drama, as full of love and
adventure as any of his former sto
ries, set in the same region amid
the same atmosphere, but without
the snow. From a point of scenery
it cannot be surpassed. Gladys Les
lie, Fred Jones and Wm. H. Tooker
are the leading characters.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
FOR LOCAL FAIR
TO BE FEATURED
Fair Association Seeks to
Arouse Interest in Work
it Is Fostering.
In nn effort to stimulate interest
nraoni; the school children of tills
seection In the cultivation of gardens,
manual training and domestic sclpnce,
j the directors of the Southeastern
I Alaska Fair Association last March
| offered a prise of $10.00 for the best
I essay on the “Advantages to he
| gained by Southeastern Alaska from
i holding an annual fair." Compete
tton was op^ii to regularly enrolled
pupils and students In both public
and high schools of Southeastern
Alaska Circular letters containing
full information of the contest were
mailed to 15 principals and supertn
tendents of schools. The directors
served as judges of the contest and
after considering the merits of the
essays submitted, awarded the prize
to Miss Selma Aalto, of the Douglas
school. Miss Aalto advances some
very good points In favor of the an
nual fair as an advantage to school
children and to the entire South
eastern Alaska country.
The winning essay, made public to
day by the Association, is as follows:
"There is no better way of trying
to develop Southeastern Alaska than
through the influence of holding an
annual agricultural fair. The first
I advertising Alaska. It is one of
the best forms of advertising, be
cause it will help to attract the kind
of people that is most needed In
the development of our resources.
The reason Southeastern Alaska has
n’t more farmers Is that people in
terested in the farming industry do
not realize the possibilities of our
agricultural resources.
"People who are not familiar with
this section don't know that farm
products like those that were dis
played at the fair last September
could possibly vegetate on this land
of ours. Many visitors who at
tended the fair were amazed when
they saw the splendid products of
this district which were on display.
I have lived in Alaska all my life
and I never realized that such farm
products could possibly be grown
here until I saw them at the fair. t
Love of Nature s
"The second advantage of prornot- i
ing Interest in agriculture is that it f
teaches the love of nature. The care |
of the garden teaches the develop
ment of plants. In order to per
fect plants and farm products the y
individual must have some knowledge |
concerning their growth and there- 3
by botany is mastered. Still an- 3
other advantage to be gained will 3
be that it will develop character in 3
the boys and girls in that it fur- 3
nishes them with something to do. |
When school Is over there is very a
lltttle for a hoy or girl to do. but 3
with a garden to work in there is 3
both employment and happiness and ;
therefore Iohb mischief. The fact «
the fair management offers prizes for 1
schools and individual pupils, both «
self exertion and team work is pro- J
moted, for there is a goal to work j
for. ;
“Preparation for the fair leads to :
independence and reliability. This |
work will occupy all the child's j
thoughts, mental, moral, spiritual, a
and there will be no room for ill a
weeds to affect either the mind or ^
the garden. ;
"The holding of an annual fair will \
also make the younger generation 3
more interested in the country's de- 3
velopment. In entering the veget- 3
able growing contests they will be 3
taught patience, persistency and ob- J
servation which will develop those !
young minds to the highest degree. 3
They will have something to look ]
forward to in their later years by \
planning the cultivation of farms 3
or their own. The children will be 3
able to sell the garden products 3
which they grow and thereby earn 3
money which they can deposit in a j
bank, and in this way they will be |
taught the lawB of economy and |
thrift. 3
Aids in Development g
"One of the many advantages to be S
gained also Is the development of the |
territory. The best way to develop |
a country is through the efforts of •
each Individual. By holding pn an- g
nual fair it will establish harmony 3
between the different towns. Many 3
new friends will be made and ideas j
exchanged for the mutual benefit of 3
those who attend the fairs. %
"The holding of an annual fair |
will greatly aid In the betterment of ;
transportation between Alaska com- ■
mnnities. The residents of the dlf- j
ferent towns who are interested in |
the development of our country will |
visit the fair; and furnish business \
for the transportation companies. It |
will aid in the development of the J
territory by bringing us into closer 3
relationship with the people of the |
States. a
"We need virile men, women and |
children, who will be a benefit to 3
our country and which we will be 3
proud of. and who will take an In- 3
terest in the development of our ]
vast and varied resources. This class 3
of people will be attracted by our 3
fair. Thus by holding an annual 3
fair many advantages will be gained 3
by both young and old and the ter- 3
ritory as a whole.”

That barometer of American
life, the popular song, is responsi
ble for a new register of what
the vote and "this freedom” have
done for mother.
Twenty years ago, lyricists
wrote fervently of a self-sacrific
ing, adoring woman in comfort
able but unfashionable clothes,
whose only interest in life was
her home and children.
No# the same interpreter de
picts mother as a pal who dresses

“But,” says Joe Burke, who’s
written “My Pal,” this year’s

it to his own mother, “whatever

mother is always on the job when

ASK THAT QUESTION, MR. MERCHANT-ARE YOU ALIVE?
Are you getting all the business you can? Are you among the advertisers in The Empire?
If not why not? Did you ever get anything without hustling for it? The Empire is hustling all of the
time. The Empire goes everywhere. Let us hustle for you. Better think it over and then GET ALIVE.
Now is the time to get before the public. Residents who have been away from Juneau for the summer
are returning. School is going to open soon. Better get busy and reach everybody. People are soon
coming in for the winter months. Better get acquainted with them through the Empire, for they will be
readers of the Empire.
