THE psora Wf
In .n editorial brim full of common
,eMe the Jf'airbank* New. has the fol
lowing to say to parties leaving for the
ouuide:
A. the season 1? now here when
ar? preparing to go OUttM.
for the winter. U Is to M hoped that
tb. old time custom of tell.ng of the
hard.hips ?tot ^ eQdurtd W'U
dropped and instead the visitors to the
outside will do a little boosting.
It la getting liekeniug u? hear of
people who go out and draw upon their
imagination? nothing mor*-and tell
of lhe horrible hour, they spent in
i cabin waiting for the wind to quit
blowing, so they cou'.d ;,etdewn town ,
Without wading through the snow.
There is a tendency to lean toward
fiction when .peaking to a few gullible
listener, when in some remote part of
the States. There are many who like
,o see their names in ptinC as being the
heroes or heroines-for the women, are
tometimrs .s bad as the men-of some
?wful mush between roadhouses.
Ttfan there is tne person who will
exhibit hi. or her pioture, taken while
drewed in a fur parka or wrapped op m
, .led. labeled. "Ending our B-st d?j's
travel over the Arctic waste." This
Is .imply rot. The chances are it was
t?ken out back of the barn, but it
serves to hokl spellbound wnat few
rubes will take it as beiog on the
square.
This effort to force oneself to be looK
edupon as having suffered hardships
t. the most conspicuous s'gn of vanity.
Boost the country. Tell about the
flower gardens. Explain bow easy it is
to raise vegetables. Don't forget the
berry season. Tell the people of the
chwces that exist here for the man ?ho
will devote the same tice and labor
they do toopeniogup thegioundona
homestead. Cite the instanc ? wherel
men have become rich because they j
.tuck to the creeks.
Men in here get well paid In any line
of work they follow. Tell the people
about it. Home* are just as happy j
bere .s outside; hand that information
out instead of telling about astufly little j
cabin and how you .ufTeivd, when the ,
chances are you lived in a two-room
Hat oefore you come here. For It 1?
generally such people who swell up on
what they bad ontside.
When you see the sickly children
outside, tell about the health of the
little ones in here. Recall the fact
that there were children less than ten
years of age who went to school every !
d?y last winter. But remember if you
do tell this, you cannot hand It out
too strong abont yoorself, or the kiddles
will be .hown to better advantage than
yourself.
Of course this does not apply to the
great majority, but it always happens
that the ones who break into print
about hardships, little cabins, etc., are
those who bad nothing before, perhaps
have increased their fortune, but have
oot elevated thetnse'ves in the social
Kile or increased their fund of good
sen*e.
Boost ! Boost et every turn in the
road. Advertise the Taoana. not your
?ell. If you have made your stake here
remember the c-untry by Kind words.
If you go out broke, don't knock the
country. Tb'nk it all over and see
if YOC are oot to be blamed for being
that way
IF THEY WANT TO STOP
There Is do one in town who appears
to know who is going to call the prim
aries for the Juneau Convention. It
seems that the republic m organization
baa been allowed to become more or
leas neglected la the past and the
Chairman or Secretary, or both, have
moved away and no one has been ap
pointed in tbeir pUce or places. This
newspaper has all along fought to the
best of its ability for home government;
it did so because it thought the people
were entitled to It and woold make an
effort to get it. Now, however, it looks
aa U when tbe time has arrived to get
busy and strike a blow that counts

blow that restored her sight.
The boy Harry Maussuest, a pupil at
Girarl college, was permitted to go

Mrs. Freelor was sitting Id the room
