A WORK OF ART
The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
is issuing a booklet, in which the
plain truth is set forth about this sec
tion of Alaska, care having been taken
to omit everything of a boom nature.
The booklet contains thirty-two
pages of interesting reading matter,
interspersed with half-tone cuts and
an embossed cover. It is truly a work
of art, from a typographical stand
point, and the Daily Times takes
pardonable pride in the fact that it
was a product of this office.
GREAT SOUL OR GREAT NUT
Q
There is a man living in England
who is either a very great lunatic
or a very great patriot. He has just
recently sent his government a check
for $750,000, or rather he sent in that
amount of 4 per cent funding loan
bonds and asked that they they be
vancelled. He signed himself “F. S.
T.” and said he was contributing one
fifth of his fortune to help the coun
try out. Of course the mails, during
the next few days, were loaded down
with bundles of war bonds similarly
sent in for cancellation. In your eye
there were.
*! OH, WOMAN
We always knew there was some
good reason why women should not
smoke. And here it is: So many
English women have acquired the
habit during their war activities,
that they have doubled the demand
for cigarettes and the price. Poor
old man has no place himself, and,
whatever else the ferns took from
him, he could still count on his nico
tine. But now the women are after
bis smoke so hard that the price has
£one up until a man who smokes a
good deal and uses really good tobac
co has an expense account of about
$5 a week. The very least that an
average smoker of stogies and such
can get by on is several dollars a
week.
VACANCY ON SCHOOL BOARD
r* —♦—
While there is an apparent lull in
territorial politics there is consider
able interest centering on the election
of a member of the school board to
succeed Tbos. S. Scott, whose term
expires and who will not be a candi
date for re-election. A number of
names have already been suggested
for this office, but as yet no announce
ments have been made. Some inicline
to the belief that a woman ihould be
a member of the board and we under
stand the parents of a number of
school children are advocating the
candidacy of one of their sex for the
position. Some definite announce
ments will likely be made during the
eoming week.
NEEDS NO BOOSTING
While the residents and newspapers
of some towns feel it incumbent to
do a little boosting for their respec
tive communities Cordova has grad
ually forged ahead until it is now one
of the largest, most substantial and
most prosperous towns in Alaska. The
growth has been slow, but steady and
not the result of any booming. As
is well known there are few sections
that have the natural resources tri
butary to Cordova and the Copper
River valley. We have the copper,
fish, oil, gold and coal, all of which
are now being developed, and the
outlook here for the future was never
more promising. Cordova may be
truthfully said to be a substantial
town and one whose growth can no
longer be stunted.
THE RIGHT MAN FOR MAYOR
The suggestion of the Daily Times
that Mayor A. J. Adams be tendered
! a unanimous reelection has met with
i general approval and while we have
not consulted Mr. Adams as to his
wishes in the matter we feel that he
has the interest of the community
sufficiently at heart to be willing to
continue at the head of the munici
pality for another year, inasmuch as
it seems to be the wish of a large
majority of the voters.
There was never a time when a
business administration of the affairs
of the city was so badly needed and
we believe that a representative coun
cil should be elected. The first step
in that dirction is to elect a good
mayor and no better selection could
be made than that of Mr. Adams. He
Is one of our oldest residents, a pro
perty owner, a loyal and progressive
citizen; in fact possesses all of the
qualifications necessary for an ideal
chief executive.
SICK TIN
You all know about the man who
has a constitution like iron. No di
sease can touch him. But the figure
of speech is not well taken, it devel
ops, in view of the fact that metals
have diseases. Not only do metals
sicken and die of these infections but
they catch the distemper one piece
from another. One sick nail in a keg
of nails, without a quarantine, might
infect the whole lot.
It was an English scientist who first
discovered the fact that a sick piece
of metal was catching. Contact was
all that was required. As a proof of
his statement he exhibited some
seventh century coins that were ob
viously diseased. They were covered
with large wart blisters. These blist
ers were on both face and back of
the coins and as the disease pro
gressed the blisters became larger.
The metal finally lost its luster and
crumbled away.
Tin is regarded as having rather
a delicate constitution. The first
piece of sick tin reported was in a
pipe organ at Leipsic. It was then
-thought that the vibrations of organ
caused the attack. Later some
interesting studies with blocks of sick
tin were reported from Petrograd.
Also a quantity of uniform buttons
that had become infected were re
duced to a pulverized mass by the
disease. It was believed the extreme
cold weather had caused the trouble
Gold and silver seem to have beer
attacked recently in America by the
same disease. At least a man car
put a handful of coins into a pocket
and within half a day they are found
to have melted away.
THE SEVEN WONDERS
Maybe this will be new to our
readers, and maybe it won’t. It was
found on a torn bit of newspaper
page the other day. Can’t say to
to whom to credit it:
The seven wonders of the wofld to
a small boy: His mother, his sweet
heart, his dad, his job, the gym’, the
public library, kis savings account.
THE SPENDERS
New York stores report that the
millionaires are economizing and the
working people spending. Sales are
running fifty per cent ahead of 1919
in value. In the same connection it
is interesting to note that imports of
luxuries thrdugh the port of New
York have increased 125 per cent
over last year.
