sea, but such is not the case.
Down in Virginia, soldiers re-en
acted the Battle of Bull Run re
cently and forty thousand spect
ators were on hand to witness
the show. People would be shock
ed at the suggestion of reproduc-!
ing public the operation perform
ed upon President Garfield as
he lay with an assassin’s bullet
in his body, or duplicating in
mimic the burial of President
Wilson, but recalling in panto
mime the wholsesale horrors of
1861 to 1865 is just fun. The real
thing was far from funny. No
body seems to think that it is a
poor compliment to the soldiers
of the North or the South to
make their sufferings serve as an
excuse for an outing and a pic
nic.
Relaxing into the consideration
of less serious matters, the pap
ers say that a guinea pig is one
of the most difficult animals to
catch and that the efforts of sev
eral spry men are required to
corner one. This throws open a
new line of work in these days
when jobs are hard to find. There
is an open field for a good guin
ea pig catcher. Captain Joshua
Slocum is remembered for the
reason that he sailed alone ar
ound the world, and Samson be
cause he cleaned out a whole
brigade with nothing but a mule’s
jawbone for a weapon. To these
illustrious names may yet be add
ed that of the man who caught
the guinea pig single handed.
The little town of Sag Harbor,
New York, reports more than a
half dozen couples who have
been married longer than fifty
years. Politics are so quiet thru
out the nation that one might
almost believe that the Repub
lican and Democratic parties had
been joined in a Sag Harbor un
ion: yet lots of things can happ
en during the next two months.
It will not be long before some
one throws the first dead cat,
and the fight then will be on.
The public takes its politics less
seriously than it used to, or at
least with less display of feeling
than formerly, and is content to
do the voting, argument being
left to the professional politicians.
After all, the main event occurs
in November. What happens be
tween now and that time amounts
to no more than what in the lang
uage of the prize ring is called
the preliminaries.

Will Celebrate
58th Salmon Pack
From Territory
Alaska’s greatest industry will
be publicized throughout the Un
ited States this month as grocers
in all parts of the country unite
to celebrate the arrival of Al
aska’s 58th new salmon pack.
Thousands of store windows ac
ross the continent will display
photographic scenes of the great
salmon run, and the fishing op
erations. Newspapers will carry
stories of the fisheries, and of the
high food values of Alaska's
Canned Salmon. National maga
zine advertisements will feature
a Festival menu.
This great nation-wide mer
chandising event, developed by
the Canned Salmon Industry, cel
ebrates the growth of this ind
ustry from a pack of 8,000 cases
in Alaska in 1888 to a 1936 out
put which it is expected may
approximate the record 1934
pack of more than seven million
cases.
The 53th New Salmon Pack
Festival is planned to assist in
moving this tremendous supply
into consumers’ hands, and draw
greater attention to the high
food values and low cost of Can
ned Salmon.
The great national advertising
campaign carried on during the
the past eight months by the
Canned Salmon Industry, thru
spectacular full page advertise
ments in the nation’s leading
magazines, illustrating dozens of
new and attractive uses for the
product, has done a great deal to
educate the American housewife
to the menu possibilities of this
important sea food. Consumer
demand, as reflected in decreas
ed stocks on hand, has been
steadily mounting during the
months of this educational ad
vertising.
Industry leaders recognize, how
ever, that the problem presented
by the huge 1936 pack requires
spectacular and sustained mer
chandising efforts for solution.
Food distributors throughout Am
erica are welcoming the New
Pack Festival, which draws the
spotlight of public interest to A1
aska's important and colorful
activity, as a constructive plan
to move this great volume of
Canned Salmon into consump
tion.
