Once I wished I could go up
and see what the moon was like.
I was playing around, when some
one came up and asked me my
name. I toid her that my name
was Janus. I asked her what her
name was. She said, “I am a
fairy.”
She asked me what I wished.
I said I wished to go up and see
the moon. I turned around once
and I saw a little airplane. I jum
ped in and soon I found my sell
going up in the air. I was going
very fast and soon landed on the
moon. It was very big and round
and had such a pretty light that
] wished I could stay there, bec
ause I could see the sun. It was
so bright I couldn’t stand it very
long. The stars were very pretty
too. I saw the clouds When I
looked down at the town the
houses looked so small. I travell 1
ed all over the blue sky and had
ots of lun. Pietty soon I went
home, because it was too cold for
me. I thanked the fairy who
gave me my wish.

A Bird Story
Louise Ahrens
Daddy once built a bird’s
iiouse. Eech year the swallows
come into it. When they come
they get straw and take it into
the bird house and make a nest
out of the straw.
But once a squirrel came and
stole some of the birds eggs.
Daddy shot the squirrel. The
swallows went back to their nest
with their little swallows.
Another squirrel came and
stole all the eggs that the other
squirrel left. So daddy shot that
squirrel too.
The swallows were so fright
ened that they did not w’ant to
go back to their nest for a long
time. But when they saw* us
i
they came back to their nest,
because they knew that we
would not hurt them.

Seward Gateway
Seattle,—George M. Schofield
Nome delegate to the Western
Division Chamber of Commerce
convention said: “Congressman
Free when he travelled over our
railroad, had a six shooter strap
ped to his hip a la cowboy. He
seemed to be afraid of Alaskans.
It is preposterous, yet amusing.
Why, a woman is safer on the
streets of any Alaskan town at
midnight than she is in any city
in the states at midday.”
The convention adopted res
olutions urging the continuance
of the Gavernment railroad in
Alaska; another urging a Nation
al policy of Alaska, including
retention of the present mail
service with improvemens; a con
tinuance of the present tariff
duty on fresh and frozen fish
products in the North Pacific;
development of the wood pulp
and production in the National
forests; improvement of the
Nome harbor by the extension
of the present jetties.
The convention chose Coler
ado Springs for next year.
