RECIPROCITY
It is gratifying to see that the
Cordova Times looks with 51 p
proval on the project of an an
nual dog race between McCarthy
and Cordova. In an article on
the subject they say:
“It is therefore of great im
portance to Cordova and the
Copper river valley that the re
cent suggestion made of an an
nual dog race classic between
McCarthy and Cordov s should
be carefully considered. The
many advantages of such a r- ce
not only as a sporting event, but
as as a splendid means of adver
tising the great C< pper valle.x,
need no argument to prove.
It is hoped that the local
clumber of commerce will inves
tigate the possibilities of such
a race and lend its support to
the event, provided reasonably
favorable conditions for success
are found.
The up-the river communities
are behind the movement—and
it would not do for Cordova to
la * behind.’
At Mattoon, 111., Dan Cupid
is finding his hows and arrows
are thus far useless against the
hearts of the girls of that city,
who have formed a club not to
keep company with boys who
smoke ciga/ettes or use tobacco
in any form.
The club is continuing to grow
and though a marked decrease
in the r umber of “matches” is
noted, quite a few of the local
boys have given up the habit.
Dan Cupids’s second and hard
j est blow — the blow that sent
| him reeling dizzily — came when
a number of bo.v students at the
Mat too n High school ret dinted
oy forming an opposing organ
izition to try to make out of the
girls of today “ the kind of girls
our mothers were.”
Do you want to stand around
while Miu.e boy is smorring a
cigarette or walk up the street
with him as he dangles the silly
thing in his teeth,or do you want
to smell the nasty su.oke?” was
argued.They generally answered
No and s>gntd the pledge,
it was then th it the boys de
cided something must be done
j They missed seeing their sweet
hearts, and soon a club was
formed ana ng tlnm, u,e men
oers Si^i.jipleugts as Jollows:
“I do solemnly affirm that 1
will not court a girl who persists
in
‘Wearing ki.er-kn* »l skirts.
Wearing low-cut waists below
the point where mother wore
them when she was a j irl.
“Wearing silk stockings.
“Using paint or rouge
“Attending turces n inns her
corsets.
Pulling out her eyebrov s or
wearing her hair in such a style
so as to hide her ears.
The gil ls look upon the boys’
| organization as merely a bluff to
j rigi.ten th« girls out of their
j stand against tobacco.
“It would be a good thing if
j something like that could be
done” say the old folks. We
need more girls today uke our
mothers
In the meantime both sides
are holding tirm and according
to o le of the le iders“much g >od
is being done.”
“This is not a temporary
movement” say the girls, “We
are in earnest.”
“So are we.” retaliate the boys
