COMMUNITY “LIVER COM
PLAINT”
Some towns get “liver com
plaint.” The don’t know ex
actly what “ails” them. They
lack pep and punch. They
lack a diagnosis, and they are
hardly willing to have one
made, says E. J. White in his
Stroller’s Weekly.
The state of the weather
can’t administer the dose be
cause the weather is just as
fixed a quantity as it is a
changeable one.
Somebody from afar can al
ways find difficulty in telling
the town what is wrong, be
cause there are always those
in leadership who don’t want
any “outsider” coming in to
tell them how to run the town.
If one of the local citizens
attempts to arouse the town, he
is accused of “trying to run
things.”
If some fellow who hasn't
taken much of a part before in
civic affairs rises to the occas
ion, he is declared to be un
familiar with his subject.
What can a town do for liver
complaint? To wait for pros
perity is only part of the battle.
To artifically hasten good
times is dangerous because the
reaction of a puffed up “boom”
is harmful to sound business.
The best remedy for commun
ity sickness is the creation of a
new outlook upon community
life. But it must come from as
much of all the citizenship as
possible. Each and every one
must gain a new consciousness
of civic loyalty and community
pride.

WHAT IS THE MATTER?
It seems impossible that thir
ty-five thousand men should
whip six hundred thousand.
But that is exactly what hap
pened at the historical battle
of Issus. when Alexander the
Great snatched from Darius
the most complete victory in
history.
It wasn’t a fight. Five min
utes after the first blow was
! struck, Darius was out of his
| chariot and racing into the
hills. His troops were broken
and in flight. Only the Persian
' nobles, who fought for their
| homes, and one other contin
j gent of troops stood, fast and
met iron with iron.
That other contingent was
composed of Greeks—hired
men, to be sure, but free men
j who long had been used to
[ democracy.
Years ago the Middle West
was infested with cut-throats
and thieves. They terrorized
the land for a season and then
the decent citizens, who were
accustomed to running their
own affairs, grew weary of dis
order and either hanged the
outlaws or drove them farther
West. The business was re
peated on the Plains. Outlaws
thrived for a season-and they
might be thriving yet if the de
cent citizens had possessed no
sense of personal responsibili
ty. But these decent ones were
free men who stood flat on
their feet and asked no favors.
They did not whine at the state
of things and wonder why
! somebody didn’t do something.
| Instead, having a disagreeable
l job to do, they did it, and then
gave the outlaws decent burial.
Today crime flourishes all
over the land. In the largest
centers of the nation organized
gangs shoot and pillage where
they will, and the servants of
I the law appear unable to make
headway against them. The
people appear indifferent. And
I it it unquestionably due to that
indifference that such condit
! ions are possible.
What is the matter? Why
do the people care so little?
The matter is that the people
no longer feel a sense of re
sponsibility.
A paternal government, med
dling, coddling, forever mak
ing itself greater and the citi
zen less great, has unwittingly
stolen away what may be con
sidered the greatest birthright
of our people.
A CURIOUS SITUATION
A noted business writer says
that retail merchants have
been deterred from stocking
up as usual “by the knowledge
of the obligations that many of
their best customers have as
sumed in order to buy the auto
moble that they use.”
Buying cars on time has been
encouraged so much that it has
become a general practice, and
once in possession of a car, the
average owner will deprive
himself of almost anything
else rather than give up his
car.
It is a curious situation and
one that discloses clearly why
the automobile industry has
made so fine a record in recent
years—its lavish extension of
credit. But it appears that it is
a practice that is growing in
creasingly detrimental to other
manufacturers and sellers. An
obvious recourse of the makers
and sellers of other forms of
merchandise is to give more
! credit themselves. But, at the
i best, that is a very dubious sol
ution.

Popular songs appear to age
almost as rapidly as news.
Poor Germany! Think of how
tough it is to punish a nation
by not permitting it to impover
ish itself to build a navy.
All birds are becoming more
expensive, according to a cele
brated chef. This is especially
true of the stork.
Small son: “What is college
bred, pop?”
Pop: (with one son in college)
“They make college bred, my
son, from the flour of youth
and the dough of old age.”
Alas! You couldn’t have en
joyed the days of your youth
without the daze of your
youth.
According to Clyde Hager, a
man is getting middle-aged
when he commences to think
that brighter colors are becom
ing to him.
Wars will also end when the
university students howl their
admiration for the little chap
who gets 100 in mathematics.
Office Boy: “The boss is com
mencing to take an interest in
me.”
Head Clerk: “Is that so?”
Office Boy: “Yes; he asked
me yesterday if I worked in
this office.”
Romance Still Lives
Wanted by a bachelor of mid
dle age, fo correspond with a
lady or widow of same age,
with the idea in mind of en
tering poultry business.— Ad
in a Montana paper.
Keeper: “Didn’t you see that
notice, ‘No Fishing Here* ?”
Fisherman: “Yes, but it is
wrong. I have caught a half
dozen already.”

Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
-o
The Standard Oil Company is
erecting an oil supply station at
at Seldovia, with 4 storage
tanks ranging from 20,000 to
168,000 gallons capacity.
The body of George A. Wil
son, Chena River trapper, who
has been missing since last
November, was found recent
ly about 200 yards from his
house. Only the skeleton re
mained.
The migrating herds of cari
bou were recently reported to
be crossing the Yukon in the
direction of Fairbanks, in the
annual fall run, which is said
to be somewhat later than last
year. Many thousands crossed
the Yukon* about 20 miles
above Carcross a few weeks
ago.
Knocking down a moose by
running into it with an automo
bile and then administering
the coup de grace, is the latest
i method of game hunting em
ployed by Fairbanks game
! hunters. The hunters came up
on the animal at night and the
i animal was evidently bewild
ered by the bright lights. It
attempted to cross the road
| ahead of the hunters, who were
! so close to the animal they
. could not avoid hitting it. One
j of its hind legs was broken by
| the impact and the headlights
and fenders of the car were
damaged. It was shot by one
of the hunters before it could
limp away. The animal was a
bull and dressed 600 pounds.

thee,
Love is ever at thy side.
When thou sleepest, Love will
guard thee.

Love a present refuge is;
Love’s protection ne’er shall
fail thee.
God is Love, and thou art his.

Do we know the full meaning
of these words? Do we under
stand all that God is? At this
service we are going to get a
glimpse of the life of Christ
and try to understand the great
invitation He gave to the
world. Is that invitation for
Hyder? Is it for me? Theme:
“The Greatest Invitation ever
Given to the World.”
All are invited. If you have an
hour to spare, 7:30 to 8:30,
rpend it with us. We will ap
preciate it.
