COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
i
The office of the country newspaper
is unlike any other institution in the
length and breadth of the land, and
the editor of the country newspaper
speaking generally is equally peculiar.
Many of the visitors who drop in,
year after year, or occassionally to
“see the editor,” remember possibly,
■when he thoughtfully and wisely with
held from his columns some fact which
whould have been of no benefit to the
public, and would have caused some
one a heartache, or worse. And they
know that this kindness was unsolici
ted, and possibly unexpected from one
so plain spoken as an editor. Is it
strange that he has many friends?
The autobiography of an editor, like
that of a diplomat, would be interest
ing because it would set down, for the
first time, some of the things con
cerning which the public has supposed
the whole story has been told.
But the world will probably have to
wait, and perhaps unrewarded, for
such an autobiography to be written.
Editors seldom reform, the code is i
rarely modified in the slightest degree.
The sanctum door is open, and there
are those who come either to renew
an old acquaintance or to form a new
one. Day by day, week by week the
printed pages go out, adding chapter
after chapter to the record which the
world reads, maybe with no indication
that there are chapters which no one
will ever read.
That, perhaps, is why the editor has
so many wrho come to “see” him.—
Christian Science Monitor.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
i "
The Alaska Fish and Game Club is
a really constructive organization. Its
latest effore to secure data on fisher
ies and game questions that w^ould
serve as a basis for legislation is along
the right lines. There should be
prompt and complete answers to the
letter it has sent out. Its purpose is
to serve the public.—Juneau Empire.
Postmaster General Burleson has
announced that starting next month
aerial mail service will be inaugura
ted between Seattle and Victoria, B.
C. The service will ,it is said, cut
off two days in the delivery of Oriental
mail. Mr. Burleson is getting “warm
er”—he may some day give Alaska
mail service by mail instead of by
freight.—Douglas News.
The discovery of oil seepages in the.
vicinity of Valdez and the promised
prospecting for oil by a number of
men this spring may show that Val
dez is on the same oil belt as Katal
la and Cold Bay. Ore bodies origi
nating far to the westward have been
traced through this district and far
to the interior; why not the oil belt
foolow the same belt.—Valdez Miner.

THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
Some folks covet another’s faults.
When Adam saw Eve it was good
night for him.
Happiness is mostly a hbait—and so
is grouchiness.
A forth-class postoffice seems like
a first-class job to a lot of people.
Imitate the unobtrusive mirror
which always shows its bright side.
Concrete, as a building material is
putting the lumber business up a j
stump.
'You can’t be happy yourself while j
figuring how to make someone else j
unhappy.
As much as we dislike a kicker, he
is head and shoulders above a do
nothing.
We give our girls a classical educa
tion and then wonder that housework
is Greek to them.
By stooping to raise others less for
tunate than ourselves we lift'ourselves
to a higher level.
The Avhistling boy may be a happy
one, but land hoA\r he gets on one’s
nerves sometimes.
No one, no matter hoAV independent
says all the things he would like to
say—and perhaps it is better that way.
If every man could achieve his .am
bition the government Avould certain
ly be in the hands of all the people.
When a girl says she intends to be
an old maid it is a dangerous time to
propose to her—unless you really want
her.
Eggs are said to be good for the
digestion. That’s all right for the rich,
but are the poor to continue to suf
fer?
We look forward to mansions in
the sky—but if things are croAvded Ave
will be satisfied Avith a back bed
room—up yonder.
An officer of Standard Oil says that
all that John D. does is to draw his
dividends. Even that Avould be a
big job for some people.
The per capita circulation this year
is just one cent more than last year.
We seem to have the extra cent but
have mislaid the dollars.
A well known doctor says phreno
logy is a humbug. Bump it good, doc;
that’s Avhat the phrenologists thrive
on.
In this country preachers have a
hard time trying to get along without
eating—in Africa to get along without
being eaten.
A boy has died of lock jaw super
induced by a bee sting. He probably
Avas garrulous enough at the moment
of contact.
The reason you don’t hear much
about happy married people is because
they don’t do much talking—that’s
Avhat makes them happy.

Clothes Purer than the
Milk You Drink
All of us have learned through our studies of personal hygiene and
sanitation that if we would best safeguard our health, our clothes *
should be sterilized as well as washed.
It is our understanding of this fact that makes our laundering
methods superior to those of the laundress. When you send us
your family bundle we return it to you purer than the milk you
drink.
Milk is supposed to be for use after it has been pasteurized,
or held at a temperature of from 131 to 151 degrees for a few
minutes.
After washing clothes as we wash them—in pure water at 180
degrees—and drying them in a current of clean, fresh air at 250
degrees, your things approach nearer to perfect purity than the
milk you serve on your table.
To be sure of clothes cleanliness and clothes purity, telephone
us. We will have our driver call for your family bundle.
