CASH POURS IN WHEN
GROCER CANCELS ALL
OLD ACCOUNTS
-x
The cash register is tinkling
in the grocery of Mike Brusha,
Racine, Wis., a melody not
heard very often in the little
store of late.
Brusha is back on a cash
basis, and the money is coming
in because he assured the com
munity he isn’t expecting to be
paid for $7,000 written down in
his ledgers. In a newspaper ad
vertisement he announced:
“Anyone owing us for groc
eries please bring in the bill and
we will mark it paid. We will ap
preciate the continuance of your
patronage on a cash basis.”
“Grateful cancellation of debts
isn’t charity,” he said. “I think
it’s a rather slick scheme to get
some business.”
-x—
“Do you believe in dreams?”
“No more than when I’m a
wake—I’m a cynic.”

Lennecke to Manage
Business College
-x
Following the announcement
of the opening of. a commercial
school in Juneau comes the word
that Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Len
necke of Seattle have been
elected to manage the new Ju
neau Business College, which
will open August 29th in the
Goldstein Building. Mr. and Mrs.
Lennecke, in wiring their ac
ceptance, stated they had given
the matter serious consideration
as they had expected to teach
in the States this winter. Mrs.
Lennecke is said to have can
celled a faculty contract with a
business college in Lewiston,
Idaho to join her husband in the
new school, said to be the only
business college in the Territory.
The financiers of the enter
prise are fortunate in securing
the services of Mr. and Mrs. Len
necke, both graduates of the
University of Washington. Mr.
Lennecke, besides having taught
in Canada, has served on the
faculties of business colleges in
the States for the last three
years. He holds a certificate for
teaching high school commer
cial subjects, and is said to be
an expert at higher accountancy,
one of the courses to be offered
by the new college. Although
Mr. Lennecke has devoted his
life to the teaching of others, he
has found time to perfect his
hobby, music, in which he has
acquired quite a name in the
Northwest, having played in
Chautaqua several seasons.
Mrs. Lennecke served as head
cf the secretarial staff of the
Olympia Business College, Olym
pia, Washington, for three years,
acquiring a high reputation as a
ieacher of stenographers and
! private secretaries.,
j The school will employ four
instructors, the two assistants
handling classes in junior steno
graphy and commercial sub
jects, while Mr. and Mrs. Len
necke will conduct major class
j room work and handle the busi
ness of the organization.
Kenovation Being Completed
The work of changing the
fourth floor of the building into
a business college is being push
ed forward in order to have the
place ready for classes at the
end of the month. The class
rooms are now being wired for
new and more appropriate light
ing fixtures and a local cabinet
maker is turning out new desks
and office equipment.
Scores of people have com
mended the backers of the
school for their efforts in giving
the Territory a long-needec
School of Commerce. Heretofore
Alaskans bent on improving
their business education, or those
in Alaska wishing to specialize
in any particular phase of office
or business management, were
forced to go to the States to dr
so. The Juneau Business College
is now prepared to offer the
same education as given below
minus the added expense o
transportation.
I The college, now complete
with a faculty and standarr
curricula equal to any in the
(Northwest will maintain close
contact with business employ
*ment needs, and efforts will be
made to secure positions for
graduates. Personal contact will
be stressed, as school authorities
stated no efforts will be made 10
secure enrollment beyond a
! given quota.
i On accepting the management
|of the Juneau Business College,
Mr. and Mrs. Lennecke stated
they expected to arrive in Ju
neau about August 19th. giving
them ample time to get ac
quainted before the opening of
ithe Fall term.

BORAH WANTS CANCELLA
TION OF WAR DEBTS
-x
Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho in a declaration in Minne

the United States—but in re
turn he asked for permanent
policy of disarmament. This pro
blem, along with the disposal oi
the reparations question would
return the world to prosperity,
is his declaration.
However, unless Europe agrees
t o disarmament, cancellation
should not be considered, said
the Senator. He further insists
that the World Economic Con
ference now being planned
should unhesitatingly insist that
war debts and reparations be
given prominent place and sub
jects to be discussed.
