*«/''' KT tlie right kind of woninn and
vJ she can do it as well as a'
man—"
“SttilT and nonsensei She wouldn’t
have the head for it. Iinuglne Miss
Kline or Miss Hicks here going out to
sell bonds—imagine their selling any!"
’’They huven’t got the head for it,”
shouted young Tom Venner. ‘‘That’s
what I’m telling you. Get a woman
of the right sort and she could sell
bonds with the best salesiuau we’ve
got—”
The ndddle-aged Kirk Tates shrieked
his answer. "But if you get a woman
like that you've got to pay as much."
"Then pay, by gummy, pay," bawled
Tom Veuner, with several emphatic
bangs on his desk. "The point isn’t
that i want to get a bargain, but I
want to get people that will stick.
Take Bloden, or Smyth, or Klinger—
any of ’em—they sold bonds for awhile
and when they got real good at It,
they got better jobs, went somewhere
else or stnrted out by themselves. My
idea is that a woman isn’t so ambitious
or so daring. Get two or three trained
in, and we'll have a staff you can de
pend on. Get me?"
Mr. Kirk Tates sniffed, indicating
thereby that, while he didn’t "get"
Mr. Veuner at all, he was through ar
guing. “Go ahead,” was all lie said.
"I'm only a partner. 1 can't stop you
from trying an experiment. But don’t
start out witli three or four. Get one
and see if it works.”
So it was that the employment agent
who supplied the bond house of Tates
and Tenner witli stenographers, comp
tometer operators and other ottlce
workers had a rather unusual position
to fill. There was only one applicant
on the list at this agency that was con
sidered suitable. This was Jane Hay
den. The employment agent sent a
sealed note along witli her. Toni Ven
ner read it through while Jane Hayden
sat waiting at the other side of his
ursK lot nn interview.
“She does not seem to have the
striking personality you may think
necessary for selling bonds. But there
is something about her eyes that I
should think would take the trick. And
she’s very intelligent.''
Tom Venner had not noticed her
eyes as she came in the room, lie had
merely noticed with a trifle disappoint
ment that she was a young woman of
middle size and not commanding ap
pearance, who made no special effect
when she came in the room.
Then, as he turned to talk to her,
she lifted her eyes, sober, light brown
eye* they were, with exquisitely mould
ed brows. They were eyes that, had
he never seen them again, he could not
have forgotten—trustful and trust
compelling, eyes thnt mnde you forget
everything else save the personality of
the young woman who owned them.
“I think you could sell bonds, or
anything else," Tom said, trying not
to look at the eyes, lest he he too eas
ily Influenced. “The question Is wheth
er you are willing to learn enough
about bonds to know how to do it."
Jane Hayden said she knew she
could learn, as she was used to study,
and after an arrangement had been
agreed upon—whereby she was to be
paid ns much for what she did as a
man salesmnn—she was formally tak
en Into the employ of Yates and Ven
ner.
Sir. Yates remarked to Tom that he
had certainly picked a pair of good
eyes, adding: “But can she sell
bonds?”
Tom Venner said, “We'll see."
Jane Hayden soon proved iier ability
as a saleswoman. She sold homls and
more bonds, and she was always on
hand when either Tom Venner or Mr.
Yates wanted to see her. She never
seemed to have to play golf or eat
lunch or go motoring with the people
to whom she sold the bonds. By all
means she was the best bond “sales
man" they had.
“Here’s something that I don’t sup
pose you’ve thought of,’’ said Mr.
Yates. “Here we’ve got a first-rate
bond salesman. She has learned the
business and she’s making money for
us and for herself. And not being a
man she isn't ambitious. She won’t
want to start out for herself. That
was my idea about getting a wom
an—”
“Your idea!” cried Tom. “I don't
remember that it wns your idea.”
“I didn't say much,” smiled Mr
Yates, “hut that morning I asked you
to get a girl—that was the Idea 1 hail
in view. There’s no reason now why
this Miss Hayden shouldn't remalc
with us for years."
“No reason hut one,” said Tom Ven
ner hastily and with color mounting Ir
his already rather ruddy face. “Sh<
might marry some one In the bust
ness—”
“Well, as I am a married man my
self.” said Mr. Yates with a conceive
smile, “and ns Trigger can’t get his di
vorce nnd as Uoydrn is about a foot
shorter than Miss Hayden, nnd as Ben
Short Is engaged, I don't see much to
worry about.”
“What about me?" cried Tom.
“You!” gasped Mr. Yates. “Poes
she care about you? Well, I'm blessed.”
Then he laughed.
“She’s got wonderful eyes,” said Mr.
Yates, "but it's bad business for you
to tnke her away from the firm.”

Do You Buy From
Home Town
Merchants?
HELP STIMULATE PROGRESS
In legal parlance there is a term, “caveat emptor,” which means “let
the buyer beware." And that does not single out any class of buyers.
There are people in Hyder who buy everything at home and from
home-town merchants. And then again there are people is this commun
ity who buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out of
town where it is lost to the community. ..Those who buy at home benefit
their community by keeping the money at home and. reap the rewards of
buying from business enterprises that depend for their very existence upon
their reputation for fair dealing.
The home-town merchant gives his patrons and his community the
fruits of his industry and his community's patronage.
There never has been a time in the history of this comunity when
patronage of the local merchants and other ousiness institutions was
as vitally necessary to community welfare and prosperity than at present.
With business at the lowest ebb in our history, the local dealer stands in
imperative need of all the patronage the camp can provide in order to re
main in business.
The same principle which urges people to patronize the local merch
ant who has his money invested where it serves them most should also urge
the merchant to advertise in the community newspaper. This paper is
the camp's best advertisement and its principal means of letting the world
know why and for what Hyder is in existence. Day in and day out it is
working for the community's progress and prosperity. It is a fixture with
a heavy investment and like the merchant is dependent for its existence
as a booster upon the patronage of the community.
Merchants advertise in newspapers primarily to increase their busi
ness. Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with
the least expense of time and effort and to the best advantage with re
spect to price and quality. Both advertiser and buyer often forget that
this advertising makes possible the newspaper that brings them the news
af the day and provides one of the chief stimulants to community growth
and betterment.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel
Washington, D. C,
April 25, 1932.
The Department of Justice
has informed the Delegate of a
willingness to endorse a bill
that he will introduce in Con
gress transferring the old
court house site in Nome to the
City to be used for road pur
poses. The ol’d building on the
site has been used by the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs for a
school building, but the com
pletion of a new building now
makes useless the old and di
lapidated structure.
The Delegate was interested
in having the House include
and pass in its revenue bill an
excise tax on foreign coal
brought into the United States
and Alaska, of 10 cents per
one hundred pounds. The Sen
ate Committee on Finance has
had hearings on the bill for
the past week and will soon re
port the bill to the Senate, and
it is hoped to retain the tax on
coal. If this clause becomes a
law it is expected that the tax
of $2 per ton on British Colum
| bia coal shipped into Alaska
! will be an encouragement for
I the greater development of
Territorial coal mines and the
i supplying of local needs.
The U. S. Marshal of the
Second division has sought to
interest the Department of
j Justice in trying to get some
concerted action between the
Territory and the Federal
government in the treatment of
juvenile delinquency offenders,
and if possible to have them
cared for in the Territory.
Delegate Wickersham has in
troduced a bill, with the ap
proval of the Interior Depart
ment and the operating coal
companies, that will encourage
the mining of coal and insure
the operation of more than one
mine. The bill reads as follows:
“ That in order to prevent mon
oply and to insure the contin
uance of two or more com
panies operating coal mines in
the Territory of Alaska adja
cent to the Alaska Railroad,
the General Manager of the
Alaska Railroad, with the ap
proval of the Secretary of the
Interior; is hereby authorized
to purchase coal for the rail
road from one or more operat
ing companies submitting com
petitive bids at the rate fixed
in the lowest competitive bid or
at such reasonable price or
prices as may be fixed and
determined by said officials. ”
Within the past few weeks
two different parties have
written from Rampart to see
if they could not lease or rent {
the property formerly used as
the Rampart Agriculture sta
tion. It is learned that under
existing conditions this is not
now possible, as on Oct. 28,
1925 the station was turned
over by the Agriculture De*
pai’tment to the Territorial
Highway Engineer, for use as
a public aviation field.
