THE STORE CLERK and YOU
It makes quite a difference
what kind of service you get
from the people who hand over
goods to you in a retail store.
Do they just hand them over
and then turn away with an in
different look? Or do they
seem interested in what you
desire and anxious to please
you? Or are some of them of
the type who are so anxious
to sell you that they do not
stop to consider what your
wishes and needs may be, but
just tr y to put over on you
something they think you will
buy, and do it in the least poss-;
ible time? That is the kind ot ,
service one sees frequently
when we go away from home
where the clerks never saw us
before and never expect to see
us again.
When you buy in Hyder you
get service with personal inter
est and personal attention to
what you want, because the
home store people know you,
or at least wish to do so. They
consider not merely selling
you something this time, but
pleasing you so well that you
will come again.
And that is another reason ■
why in the long run it pays to
trade at home.

I
USED TO WONDERS
Contrary to repeated reports,
the last horse and driver to be
affrighted by one of the fruits
of modern inventive and in
dustrial genius have not de
parted from this world. It is
doubtless true that in this Unit
ed States such are hardly to be
found. We have grown used to
wonders; that is all, and mod
ern inventions are common
place, even to the animals.
A man whose horse ran away
upon first looking upon a I
steam roller described the ma
chine as “an unsightly monster
with a boiler, cab and fire and i
fuel chamber, mounted upon;
large, heavy rollers and emit
1
ting loud and unseemly noises.”
With a little editing this
man’s description would have
served admirably as the de
scription a later man might
have given 20 years or so ago
of a “one-lung” automobile,!
which raced by him in a cloud i
of dust at the terrific speed of
eight miles an hour. Such in- ]
cidents are provocative of
much laughter and derision on
the part of a generation which i
-hrough constant association
has learned to look upon the
:team roller and the automo- j
bile as commonplace objects.!
People who have been reared
in the cities and towns of the
United States amidst every en
gine and device known to this
iltra - mechanical civilization,
can no more sympathize with
: he * excitement and amaze
ment experienced by those
who see them for the first time
han the prehistoric man could
j sympathize with the feeling of
I awe which would pass over the
modern urbanite if he was to
suddenly encounter a real flesh
and blood Dinosauri.

VANITY OF THE MALE
In a year $750,000,000 is
spent in the barber shops of the
United States, according to sta
tistics. Less than two-thirds of
that sum is spent for the essent
ial shave and haircut. The re
maining portion represents
massages and hair tonics.
This should dissuade some men
from chiding the female of the ;
species for her vanity. Men
are in fact becoming as much
concerned as women with the |
care of the face. Beauty par
lors are giving more attention
to woman’s hair, while the bar-1
bsr shop is diverting its attent
ion to man’s face.
|
l here are several reasons for j
the prodigality with which the
American males spend their
time and money in the barber
shops. Social custom requires
that the hair be cut frequently
and the face kept closely
shaved. Prosperity and the
feeling of relaxation afforded
induces many men to indulge
in facial massage, frequent
shampoos and other tonsorial
luxuries. The necessity of
making a good appearance in
business and at work are influ
ential agents. Greater social
activity demands greater care
with personal appearance and
the appearance of culture is an
other explanation.
Just for Fun
“ Willie, stop asking so many
questions. Curiosity killed the
cat.”
“Mother, what did the cat
want to know?”
One brave man flies an aero
plane across the Atlantic
Ocean and Uis praises are sung
around the world; another one
wears suspenders and a derby
hat and dies unknown.
Tommy Tinker and his wife,
Resolved to lead a better life;
Tommy wants her skirts cut
lower,
But then, she says, he would
not know her.
Lawyer (to client) : “Well, 11
have done all any man can foi
you.”
Prisoner: “No, you haven’t.!
There’s my ten years you could
serve.”
Definitions to Remember
Competitor—The man who
thinks you are as bad as you
think he is.
Dividends—A certain pei
centum per annum.—perhaps.
Financial Statement— Shows
what you would be earning it
you were.
A policeman was taking an i
examination for promotion:
One of the questions asked
was: “What are rabies and
what do you do about it?”
The guardian of the peace
answered: “Rabies is Jewish
priests, and there’s nothing to
do about it.”
And here’s the latest Scoi
yarn :
Sandy—“Was McPherson na
scant when the plane he were
ridin’ in began to fall?”
Jock—“That he were, man:
that he were. Ye see only five
of the fufteen minutes he’d
paid for had gone by.”
Sweet young thing (to guide \
in Yellowstone Park) : “Do
these hot springs ever freeze
over in winter?’’
Guide: “Sure, ma’am; once in
a while. Once last winter a la
dy stepped through the ice
right here and burned her
foot right bad.”
She: “You don’t like this hat
because it cost $50.
He: “It isn’t that, my dear;
it covers up your lovely hair
too much.”
She (reflectively) : “Maybe
your are right. I’ll return it to
morrow.”
ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
One unit of the Alaska Air
ways hangars at Fairbanks was
destroyed by fire recently. The
blaze also consumed the Stin
son Detroiter plane used by
Capt. Hubert Wilkins and Col.
Ben Eielson in their Arctic ex
plorations from Point Barrow.
Still another bill providing
for a commission to confer with
Canadian government repre
sentatives on the construction
of a highway between the Pa
cific Northwest and Alaska has
been introduced by Alaska del
egate Dan*Sutherland, accord
ng to recent Washington, D. C.
press reports.
Four oldtimers of the north
left recently for the Pioneers’
Home at Sitka. They were K.
D. McLean and C. M. Richard
son, of the Juneau district, Jas.
Coughlan, of the Fairbanks
district, and Richard Wind
multer, who formerly operated
:he Poplar Grove roadhouse on
the Richardson Highway.
Leslie Falk, a pioneer resident
of Fairbanks, and Yarton Ouz
onian, proprietor of the Tavern
Cafe in Anchorage, were re

Falk was found on the floor of
i his cabin and is not expected
| to recover. He is about 75
J years old and has lived in Alas
j ka about 30 years. Ouzonian
was stricken while e.ating din
ner in his cafe. His entire left
side is affected.
Plans have been outlined by
the Forestry Service for the
sale of ten billion feet of Alas
ka timber to the Zellerbach
Corporation and the San Fran
cisco Examiner and Los Ang
eles Times.. The deal would in
clude the establishment of
newsprint mills and timber cut
ing of timber on a 50-year pro

METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By Rev. H. R. Cross, Pastor.)
The Church is not interested
in the boy or girl only one hour
a week. It is not interested in
certain groups only. It sees the
problems of the parents these
days but it does not “walk on
the other side.” The church is
interested in the baby. Its inter
est runs all through the life of
these little ones and its great
desire is to help them as they
grow up to get the most enjoy
ment and happiness out of life.
At 10:30 each Sunday morning
we hold our Sunday School for
these young folk. We do not
exclude the older folk but ask
them to come also.
Sunday evening at 7 :30 the ;
Evening Worship service. One ;
o f the most interesting and
challenging chapters of the Bi
ble will guide our thoughts in
this service. You are invited to |
come and bring your Bible and
3ee if you do not enjoy the hour j
in this service. Duet by Mrs. i
Harold Johnson and Miss Hall.
Robert W. Babson has the
following to say about family
prayer.
“Much of the prosperity of
this nation is due to family j
prayers, which were once of- j
fered daily in the house of our
fathers. To a very large extent j
this custom has gone by. What
ever the arguments pro and
con may be, the fact never the
less remains that family pray
ers nutured and developed the
spiritual resources to which
the prosperity of the nation is
due. The custom of family
prayer should be revived along
with many other good customs
which some modern radical i
may ridicule, but to which they
owe all they possess.”
