NOVEMBER
No shade, no shine, no butter
flies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no
leaves, no birds—
November.
Thomas Hood
The whimsical poet tells the
truth about November in these
clever lines, but not all the
truth. He perceives the motif
of the month and straightway
proceeds to exaggerate the
same—a privilege which be
longs to all poets, and is as
sumed by some who are not.
Every month of the twelv«
has its characteristics and Nov
ember an individuality quaint
ly its own. To some it seems i
drear and soulless month; th<
trees are leafless; the wine
rustles amidst the fallen leave;
as if searching for somethin*
it has lost. There are hint
not vague, but broad, tha
winter is close at hand. Yet
there is a sombre charm ii
November days and nights
and the landscape is allurin;
even with its gray pall over the
lowlands and the glisten of
snow on the lofty peaks that
tower above us here.
The insignia of November is
the fodder shock, the pumpkin
and the turkey gobbler strut
ting to his doom. History and
romance meet and mingle in
this month, mellow with the
memories of those days when
our America was young.

THE COST OF
THOUGHTLESSNESS
To forget, like to err, is hum
an. The most thoughtful peo
ple sometimes act unthinking
ly, and a good memory does
not save one from forgetting,
on occasion, that which we all
should know. These human
failings explain the frequency
with which good citizens un
intentionally hurt their com
munity by word or deed.
Many patronize the mail or
der houses an4 out-of-town
j stores, in thoughtlessness, not
realizing that in doing so they
are hurting their own commun
| ity and personally losing more
j than they gain. It has never
; occurred to them that this mon
ey never comes back, \vhile if
it were given to home business
| a large percentage of it would j
remain in the community, to |
bring additional employment,!
own improvements and added
prosperity to almost everyone.
The knocker is often a poten
ial booster lacking in tact, j
1 (nowing the community’s j
hortcomings, he would be a1
lommunity asset if he would j
mthuse over what he knows
he honie town can do or be, in
tead of harping on what it
las failed to do. The one meth- j
d stimulates the community,
he other depresses it. That is !
<rhy the booster is popular and
he knocker upopular, al-;
hough both may be striving
or civic betterment and prog
ess.
PROGRESS BENEFITS ALL
A century ago the first power
newspaper press was put in op
eration. Prior to then news
papers were printed on hand!
presses, slowly and laborious-1
lp. The handpress had an out
put of 250 copies an hour. The
steam press increased the out
put to 1100 copies an hour.
When this first power press
was placed in operation in the
>ffice of the London Times the
pressmen opposed it. Their
expressed objection was that it:
violated the Biblical injunction
hat man should earn his bread
n the sweat of his brow. Their
jbvious and real objection was
hat one man could operate the
oower pressv whereas four men
were necessary to run the hand
oress.
Today labor welcomes labor
aving devices. Modern pro
luction could not be main
lined by the hands of all the
labor in the world and yet,
with machines doing the work
jf hundreds of men, there is no
surplus of labor. In practical
ly all civilieed countries virtu
ally everything is done by ma
chine, but unemployment is lo
cal and temporary. Long op
posed by labor, the machine
has furnished more work and
better pay for labor.
Actuated by selfish motives,
man often opposes his own
cause; yet labor can not be
condemned for obstructing me
chanical development at a time
when every mechanical im
provement servecTto increase
already general unemploy
ment. Industrialism presents
an awesome and paradoxical
picture when divided into the
two stages of handicraft and
machine manufacture. When
everything was made by hand
there was over-production and
unemployment. Now that ev
erything is made by machine
i there is under-production and
i work for all.

What jumps out of reach
quicker than a promisi ng fut

There are those who seem to
think it is against the law to
call a doctor before midnight.
Soft words turn away wrath
until you can find something
resembling a sailor’s belaying
pin.
The future usually becomes
the past without anything par
ticular happening.
The man at the bottom of
most things is usually up a
tree.
Men who catch on to things
too quickly let the same go the
same way.
One recent improvement in
this old world is that the idlo
rich have ceased to be the idol
rich.

We agree with the philosoph
er that it may take a wise man
to realize that he is a fool, but
the realization spoils the en
joyment.
Every person is worth $39.62
in actual money, as compared
to $39.67 a year ago, the miss

shrinkage in paper money.
Mary: “Why do they keep li

Teacher: “Why do you ask
such a question?”
Mary: Well, when I call my
papa sometimes the central
girl says, ‘The lion is busy’.
Now that the scientific sharps
are said to have evolved a new
breed of chickens without
wings its time for some genius
to raise some with the stuffing
already in them.
ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
Two killing frosts occuring in
the Fairbanks district on the
nights of September 19 and 20,
set the local farmers to har
vesting their potatoes after an
exceptionally long growing
season.
The body of Pete Anderson,
jr., who lost his life August 8,
while crossing the Fortymile
River, was found recently a
short distance below Fortymile
on the Yukon River.
Prohibition officers recently
raided the camp of Berndt Ben
son on Wrangell Island and
found a still and a small quan
tity of moonshine. Benson en
tered a plea of guilty before
the U. S. Commissioner at
Wrangell and was fined $1,000
3nd sentenced to serve twelve
months in jail.
Governor George A. Parks re
cently broke ground for the
new territorial capitol building
at Juneau. The ceremony was
brief and without speeches, al
though witnessed by hundreds
of Juneau residents, including
more than 600 school children.
It took not more than two or
three minutes to formally set
in motion the construction of
Alaska’s $750,000 capitol, the
initial appropriation for which
was made 19 years ago.
Victim of a cave-in, J. F. Zim
merman, pioneer hard-rock
miner of the Fairbanks district,
died in a prospect hole on
Dome Creek recently. His body
was tincovered when searchers
entered the hole and removed
a freshly fallen pile of debris.
Zimmerman had not been seen
for about a week and this ab
sence resulted in the search
of his mining property.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By the Pastor)
“Our Crosses are hewn from
different trees,
But we all must have our Cal
varies.
We may climb the hill from a
different side,
But each must go up to be cruc
ified.
As we climb the hill another
may share,
The dreadful load that our
shoulders bear;
But the costliest sorrow is all
our own,
For on the summit we bleed
alone.”—Frederick L. Knowles
Too true are these words in
our own experience. What av
enues of thought open up as we
think back. Let us not dwell
here but think into the future.
Calvary is passed! No, the bur
dens still press. The load is
heavy. The way is dark. What?
We are not alone Other hearts
are broken. Other shoulders
are weary. Others are strug
gling for light. To all comes the
message: “Come unto me and I
will give you rest . . . Rest
unto your souls.”
Sunday evening at 7:30 we
want to see if this message of
Jesus will help those who face
their Calvary. Theme: “The
Satisfying Rest.”
Do not forget the influence
the Church may have in the
life of Ihe children. They are
facing life. They are not com
pletely educated until they
know how to do it. The Bible is
the best book for such instruct
ion. Let us help you to give the
children an interest in this
Book of Books. Sunday school
10:30 a. m. Sunday morning.
Adults as well as children are
welcome.
