“FORGOTTEN MAN”
At last! They have discovered the “forgotten man.”
He is what is called the “white collar worker.” It is esti
mated that there are 750,000 of these worthy workers on
the dole, and something must be done to get them back on
jobs.
The white collar man has been greatly neglected. He
is usually too proud to beg and too soft for hard labor. Most
often he has a family. He is not organized, and his lot has
been a hard one. In most cases he has taken his beating
without a howl.
And as a rule he has kept his collar white and his head
up- _
SOVIET SHOWS THE WAY
- - I
Convicted of having participated in an appropriation of
flour and other food supplies, which were sold privately thru
speculators, three officials of a Soviet government food pro
ducts company have been sentenced to death and 17 others
will go to prison.
The remedy may seem harsh to those who have become
accustomed to regard public office as an opportunity to
“feather their nests” but if the people of the United States
want to get rid of graft and petty political thievery, the
Soviet government points out a very painful, but undoubt
edly effective, method to be pursued.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
J. L. Markham, general manager of the Butte (Mon
tana) Standard, says:
“The most important news in a newspaper is oftentimes
to be found in the advertising columns.
“The price of eggs, ham, dresses, yard goods, hosiery,
etc., and the quality of these items is more important to a
housewife, with limited money to spend, than is a murder
or a serious fire many miles distant. Commodity news em
bracing style, quality and price perhaps is read more thor
oughly by women than world news.
“Newspaper advertising supplies the buyer with ad
vance information, thus making shopping or telephoning or
ders a simple matter.
“Newspaper advertising saves time and money to both
the advertiser and the consumer.
“By all means read the advertisements for money and
time saving, as well as informative reasons.’’

Business Men Re
turn From Tour
Into Arctic Circle
"Business? It’s fine, but let us
tell you about our Circle Tour of
Alaska instead."
So chorused T. B. Wilson, vice
president and general manager of
the Alaska Steamship Company, A.
L. Hager, president of the New Eng
land Fish Company, when a Cordo
va Daily Times reporter called on
them recently. And by the time
they finished, the reporter agreed
that it was indeed a trip worth talk
ing abou.t.
The pair sailed from Vanrouver,
B. C., five weeks ago, and transfer
red to a chartered plane at Juneau.
From there they flew to Fairbanks
and then on to Point Barrow.
Nearly Caught Flu
“We were looking for polar bear,
but we nearly got influenza instead,'
smiled Mr. Wilson. “A third mem
ber of our party, Mr. McDonald,
vice-president of the Pan-American
Airways, was stricken, and had to
be flown out to Fairbanks.”
Wilson and Hager were loud in
their praise of Dr. Griest and the
work he was doing to combat the
epidemic. In spite of the flu, they
managed to see quite a bit of the
environs of Point Barrow.
“The Eskimos are the most hos
pitable, and among the most intelli
gent, people we ever saw," said Mr.
Hager. “We mushed out behind
dog teams with them on hunting
trips, slept on the ice with them,and
watched their uncanny skill in hunt
ing geese, white fox and other wild
life."
Arctic Colorful.
Living conditions at Point Barrow ,
were very impressive to the indus
trialists. The burning of frozen oil.
the community hunts for whale, the
annual killing of the reindeer, the!
homely entertainments about the
stove on the cold Arctic evenings—
all were very colorful.
“There were no fatalities from in
fluenza during our stay,” they said,
"but the day we left there were four
deaths. We didn’t realize the epi
demic was going to reach such pro
portions.”
After leaving Barrow they flew to
Wainwright, then back to Fairbanks
then far westward to False Pass.
There Wilson and Hager each
bagged two giant brownies, whose j
size judging by the gestures and su
perlatives, defied all description.
They then flew to Anchorage,and.
while Wilson transacted some busi
ness there, Hager flew out to Lake
Tustumena for a day and brought
down two black bear.
Sorry To Leave.
They were a little wistful today
as they waited for the steamer Al
aska to take them south again.
‘‘Not a bit tired," they said, “and
certainly the greatest trip ever.”
Hager is already looking forward
