ADVICE FOR JOAN
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD

l«i solve a similar one. Which to mar
ry—the poor, beloved young mun or
the rich young man whom she respect
ed and liked and might. In time, come
to love.
There hud come Into her life two
men. One, young Milton Arnold, son
of the president of the local cotton
mills.
The other, Barry Mason, principal
of the school where she taught.
Milt would Inherit thousands. Barry
hud an invalid mother dependent on
him and prlncipalshlpg are seldom
stepping stones to a fortune.
Iu a hurst ot confidence, she told
her mother all about It. “They've both
asked to marry me,” she confessed.
"But I don't know—X don’t know—”
Her mother, watching Joan's lovely,
dowuicast face, did not wonder that she
was desired of two men.
“Joan,” she said suddenly, "why
don't you spend your vacation with
Aunt Carol? Go away from both
these estimable young men and tlduk
things out for yourself.”
“I’m afraid,” said Joan, "that if I
do that. I'll surely want Milt. Just a
glimpse of that sort of life—”
"As you like,” said her mother In
differently.
In the end, Joan went to Boston.
She was met at the station by her
aunt’s browu limousine and brown
suited chauffeur. She was driven to
enlartin hrmvnsfntiP-frnnI hmi<p
in Back Buy; then shown to her room
and told hy a precise white-cupped
maid that her aunt would be home at
Bve.
At five promptly, Aunt Carol magni
ficently furred and gowned, came hur
rying into the room and took Joan
in her arms.
“Your mother wrote me," she said
archly, “that you've run away from
two ardent admirers. And meanwhile,
we must see that you have the finest
time.”
Not even Sally Arnold, Milt’s deb
utante sister, could have whirled
through more gaiety than did Joan in
the following days.
1 tinners, dances, luncheons, shopping
tours, opera—it was a wonder If
either Barry or .Milt were ever spared
a thought.
And yet, lying in the exquisitely
draped four poster, Joan's thoughts
nightly traveled home. This sort of
life would he hers forever if she mar
ried Milt. If she married Barry—well,
of course, it was absurd to think she
would know abject poverty or anything
remotely approaching it. What stie
would know would he doing her own
household tasks, carefid, economy, do
ing without this to obtain that, and, If
there should he a family, a constant
speculation as to where dentist hills,
music lessons and college educations
were coming from.
Joan didn't see a great deal of iter
aunt. Once introduced to the bevy of
young people that were daughters and
sons of her aunt's friends, she was
swept along without effort on her part
on the surge of various social activ
ities.
It was the last night of her stay that
Aunt Carol came into her room as she
was undressing before the cozy little
tire that burned in the grate.
"Have you settled that momentous
question of yours?" she asked witli a
smile.
Joan shook her head.
"I take it for granted," went on her
aunt, "that hotli are tine young men,
and that their incomes being equal—
Joan, do you love one of them?”
A rosy flush suffused the sweet con
tours of Joan's fHce. “I—1 think so,"
she confessed.
Her aunt came over and laid a hand
heavy with shining rings on Joan’s
slender shoulder. "Take the one you
love, Joan. If it's the rich one—well
and good. If the poor one—take him.
I.ife brings hardships and disappoint
ments that only love will withstand.
You see, 1 know.” She parsed, then
went on gravely. “I'm going to tell
you a little secret, Joan. I once had
the same decision to make that you
have. 1 loved a poor young man and
I married the rich one. 1 haven't been
altogether unhappy, but I stepped In
to somebody else's life and have nev
er had time to live my own. I’d swap
my limousine, house and position In
society for a sweet young tiling like
yourself and all the joys you are go
ing to bring your mother—a good son
in-law, grandchidren and—” site leaned
down and kissed her pretty uiece and
departed.
* Joan’s father met her at tiie station
in the old car that had to be cranked
before it would go. "Hope life with
the plutocrats hasn't spoiled your
taste for home, Joannie," lie grinned.
“Between yon and me, I owe your
Aunt Carol a lot. I was once quite
sweet on her hut she turned me down
for a young man with a million. If
she hadn’t, 1 should never have got
your mother.”
Joan said “Yes" to Barry that very
evening. “It’s love that counts.” she
told him gravely. “Life brings many
hardships that only love can with
stand. Better marry a poor young
rnsn—”
But Barry, who did not realize what
It was all about, shook Iter gently hy |
her slender shoulders. “I’m not so darn
poor, Joan!” he said. “And I’m tlue
for a raise next year!” And he won
dered, as he took her In his arms, at
the funny little smile that lingered ou
Jean’s cupld-bow lips.

erosltjr. He hns to take the trip to
London and wants you with him. It
will give you n chance to meet many
men on hoard ship and I have no doubt
yon will come hack quite ready to
marry George Danbury."
"I know I ought to love him, moth
er, and his money could, perhaps, do
a lot for Edward—but I just can't
make up my mind.”
“It Is difficult, my daughter,” agreed
Mrs. Walker, “hut after all George Is
a thoroughly good man, has heaps of
money, and I think you would he hap
py with him In n year or two.”
Enid sighed. “Yes, l suppose It. Is
much the same, in a few years time,
so long as one married a considerate
type of man."
So Enid went on the ocean trip with
Uncle Henry. George Danbury sent
her great sheafs of flowers and bas
kets of fruit on the day of departure
and Enid felt reasonably sure that
upon her return she would give him
the promise lie wanted. Hut deep in
her heart she knew that the great hig
thing called love was not In her Ufa
and that lack of money and her littla !
brother's crippled state were the rea- |
sons for decision.
She met many men on hoard ship
and found herself studying them and
comparing them with George Danbury
ns a possible future mate. She was
using all her wisdom over the trying
problem hut the more she tried to real
! ize the future rlie more confused It
became.
They reached I.ondon safely and
Uncle Henry was obliged to tend busi
ness much of the time. Consequently
Enid was left to wander about by her
self. The Idea of going back to New
York and marrying Cenrgc troubled
her night and day. She felt that Ed
ward might be cured if they could pay
for the services of a great specialist.
Every crippled man she saw stabbed
her, for Enid could see little Edward
growing up a helpless cripple and she
herself in a position to perhaps pre
vent it.
Enid found herself frequently visit
ing the wonderful old churches—St.
Haul's. Westminister, St. .Tames—and
finding In the shadowed, silent walls a
great amount of spiritual help.
And then her feet led her into the
door of old St. Martin's In the Held—•
; that church whose doors are never
shut, night or day, to the worn and
weary. Human driftwood, usleep on
the cushions, found safety, rest and
help through the dark night.
Enid slipped In softly and found a
seat in a darkened corner. A great
surge of emotion swept over her and
made Iter conscious of a tremendous
nnd wonderful power working within
Hie walls of that old church. Thera
was tragedy, despair, poverty, scarred
nnd besmirched bodies of human be
ings. Yet underneath and round
about all a spirit of exaltation.
She went down on her knees and
found herself praying for enlightinenf,
seeking the path which she should
take and thereby do ttie most good
during her span of life. She prayed,
too, for those other poor souls that
were so utterly, hopelessly dejected.
Enid found herself weeping softly.
She didn't know exactly why—hut
perhaps she felt that a way was being
opened up for tier to follow. Perhaps
she bad drawn nearer her Cod and he
was showing Tier a path.
She did not start when she felt the
young curate’s hand drop lightly, tin
derstamlingly, on her shoulders, but
stie looked up and into the most kind
ly eyes she hml ever seen—sympa
thetic. helpful and plainly asking her
for the reason of tier weeping.
She Imd watched him going slowly
about the church, offering words of
help here and a bit of money there—•
a man happy in the performance of
lii« duty.
I’.efore Enid knew it she was telling
him about her problems and her crip
pled brother and Danbury and all Mint
her marriage to him might mean to ull
members of her family.
lie listened quietly as one used to
Hie outpourings of the heart and all
Hie time Enid felt herself being drawn
toward ldm.
"Tills is a tremendous sacrifice you
are asking of yourself," the young
curate admitted, “marriage without
love. Hut. on Hie other hand, pur*
love matches are not always happy.
So many people seek personal happi
ness in marriage rather than looking
upon it ns the stepping stone toward
the fulfillment of a greater destiny.”
Enid looked up with such sudden
comprehension In her big eyes that
the young curate smiled. He had not
underestimated the worth of tide
young girl who had sought light in old
St. Martin's in the Eield. Ills work
had made of him a keen reader of hu
man possibilities. “You would not h*
here," lie added gently, "if you were
one who could marry ior money nnd
what it can give. I think you lov*
this chap—love him with so big a lov*
that you have been afraid of it—afraid
that you could not give him measure
for measure—afraid that his wealth
would stand between you, nnd I think
that he is just giving you time to real
ize—all tins.”
The young curate passed on down
the aisle of the old church and Enid's
eyes followed him with an Intense |
glow of happiness in them. lie had
unlocked and opened the great doors i
of love for her to enter, and somewher*
in the soft distance she saw the re
flected smile of Danbury’s eyes.

Delegate Wickersham was!

a recent reading of Anchorage J

cated that later consideration
of the project was more en

were a possibility within the
near future. However, an ef
fort to have this report veri
fied was soon blasted in an in

fore the House. Last year the
amount allowed was $54,425,
230, but the amount recom
mended tby committee for the
approaching year is $44,132,
357. For the Alaska general
service under the bureau of

The Alaska Women's Prim

ter of inquiry to Delegate
Wickersham as to his views on
the primary law for Alaska.
The Judge has replied that he
has always favored the pri
mary for Alaska and believes
that it is highly essential that
the present law should pre
vail, otherwise there would be
“proxy” nominating convent

manipulators in both parties,
who would thus prevent the
thousands of men and women
voters from expressing their
preference for the candidates
whom they desired as party
nominees.
The House has passed Dele

revision and extension of the
boundary of the Mount Mc
Kinley National Park. It has
gone to the Senate and will un
doubtedly be passed without
objection. The measure was
approved by the secretary of
the interior.

around t,h< city of Cordova,
driven by the deep snows. The
animals were in good condition
and did not seem to be suffer
ing from lack of food.
Ice blown into Cordova bay
from the Copper river flats
kept small boats from getting
in or out of the bay for a time
during the past month. Several
small cabins were crushed by
the recent heavy snows in that
locality and telephone and tel
egraph wires were bi'oken
down.
Fred Panternahl, who wan

Juneau will vote on April 6
on the question of installing a
community heating plant, to
provide heat for residences
and business houses.
Juneau Igloo of the Pioneer
of Alaska propose to form an
assocation for the mutual bene
fit and protection of all Pion
eers.
After making one trip to the
halibut banks and returning to
Juneau with over 100,000
pounds of fish, the local fleet
found that the market wai ov
er stocked in the East and the
prices the lowest ever experi
enced. The boats were tied up
until such time as prices in
crease. It was expected that
a month would elapse before
this would occur.
Forest rangers report that
recent cold weather and deep
snows are causing mortality
among the deer along the
lower Alaska coast, the young

hundreds of deer on the beach

erin Point 80 were seen in one
band. Sitka reports that a num

seen in that locality, evidently
having perished of starvation.
Do You Buy From

Merchants?
HELP STIMULATE PROGRESS
In legal parlance there is a term, “caveat cmptor,” which means “le'
he 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 commur
ty who buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out c
■.own where it is lost to the community. Those who buy at home benefi
heir community by keeping the money at home and reap the rewards o
luying from business enterprises that depend for their very existence upot
heir reputation for fair dealing.
The home-town merchant gives his patrons and his community th
‘ruits of his industry and his community's patronage.
There never has been a time in the history of this comunity wher
latronage of the local merchants and other Business institutions wa
ts vitally necessary to community welfare and prosperity than at present
With business at the lowest ebb in our history, the local dealer stands ii
mperative 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
int who has his money invested where it serves them most should also urg(
he merchant to advertise in the community newspaper. This paper i:
he camp's best advertisement and its principal means of letting the worlc

is a booster upon the patronage of the community.
Merchants advertise in newspapers primarily to increase their busi
less. Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with
he least expense of time and effort and to the best advantage with re
ipect to price and quality. Both advertiser and buyer often forget that
this advertising makes possible the newspaper that brings them the new:
of the day and provides one of the chief stimulants to community growth
and betterment.
