Here There Everywhere
O. K Chandler now knows he
should never butt in when a lady
is talking, especially when she has
the floor legally. At the Council
wieetiu, Monday, he was told in
no uncertain terms to keep quiet
by said lndv in question, when ho
interrupted her speech a few
times Raising the ire of a woman
is bad enough, but interrupting
her when she is speaking is liko
the ancient i .nging down the
walls of Jericho over his head.
Reading the account in a local
newspaper of wedding that took
place here this week, reminded us
of a description of a wedding that
took place over fifty years ago.
We quote from C\e Forsyth Inde
pendent, Forsyth. Montana. Here
it is for your ediucation:
AX EYE FOR BUSINESS
Newspaper editors of half a
century ago never forgot on which
side their bread was buttered.
Here’s a classic society column ar
ticle from that period: “Miss Jen
nie Jones and Bob Henry were
married at the Jones mansion last
night. The bride is the daughter of
Constable Jones, who has made a
good officer and will doubtless be
re-elected in the spring. He offers
a fine horse for sale in another
column of this issue. The groom

A Plant 2411 Re». 3141
runs a grocery on Main street and
is a steady patron of our adyerti -
ing columns. He has a good line of
bargains in his ad this week. All
summer he paid 2 cents more for
butter thari any other store in
town. They were married ny the
Kev. Josiah Butterworth, who last
week called at this office and gave
a nice order for printing. He is
ajso going into business and will
write lire insurance. So say the
business cards we recently print
ed for him. Jennie and Bob left
on the 10 p. m. train for Milwau
kee to visit with the bride’s uncle
who, we understand, has lots ol
money and cancer.”
If you see us running around
with a deep furrow between the
eyes don’t give us credit for eon
I'rnplating the situation in the
Middle East. The furrow is due to
deep thought about the situation
in the Far West (of Alaska, that
is) where the Bank of Kodiak, as
noted in their regular spot else
where in this issue, is conducting
a contest to get a name for a bear
The drawing of the attractive crit
ter will be used in future bank
ads, and O. A. Torgerson, bank
president, wants a name that will
identify the bear with thrift and
the bank. In fact, he wants the
name so badly he is offering
twenty-five salmonberries (bear
talk) in a savings account for the
best name submitted.
So far the furrowing we men
tioned above has only produced
two suggestions for ourselves. Ber
nadine the Bruin—or maybe Ursu
line, the Ursus Middendorfi.
If you think you can do better
you are welcome to try. We’ve
just found out Mirror employees
can’t participate in the contest, so
you can have our suggestions free.

We received a card in the mail
the other day. This is all it said::
"A deduction—Unless something
is done soon to stop the rising
Chinese birth rate, in a few years
we are going to be engaged in a
war trying to stop them from over
running all Europe.”
* » * * »
Maybe the United Nations can
do something about it, but it looks
like its a problem for Mr. and Mrs.
average citizen of China. It would
take a pretty smart propagandist
to convince them they must cease
such activities. The problem of
the “yellow peril” was very acute
at the turn of the century, but we
have somehow seemed to survive
it. We’ll probably survive this one,
too.
All ads shouldn’t go into ♦he
classified section. Here’s a coupls
we’ll just throw in to help the
cause along:
WAITED—Novelty ideas that will
make the coming Fourth of July
celebration in Kodiak the best
ever. Contact Jaul Jaeger, Com
mittee Chairman, phone 4701.
FOR HIRE—Professional tug-of
war anchor man available in Ko
diak on the Fourth of July.

There’s a lot of theories going
around as to how the glass in the
door at Bert’s Drug Store was
broken. One is that the glass had
been so thoroughly cleaned, a cus
tomer didn’t realize there was one
there. Another is that the customer
(a lady) was so blinded by the
light shining on the dome of the
gentleman in charge there, she
bumped into the glass. Anyway,
its established, she was a lady. As
Dave says, it gives the place the
look of an old-fashioned speakeasy.
A former teacher in Kodiak,
now a resident of Nome, says he
mows the cause of the aurora
>orealis. but he won’t tell. He is
)laf Halverson, principal of the
ligh school here some years ago.
fe began studying the phenomena
30 years ago in Minnesota, then
added further knowledge while
teaching on the Canadian border.
