TERRITORIAL
HEADQUARTERS
FOR LEGION
♦ The territorial headquarters of the
American Legion has been removed
from Anchorage to Juneau.
The change was made recentlty be
cause Juneau is more centrally lo
cated, and owing to the fact that
George Getchell, who was the only
Alaska delegate to the national con
vention held at Minneapolis on Oct.
10, was named ^national executive of
ficer for Alaska, and will have his
headquarters there.
On account of the difficulty in get
ting mail to and from Anchorage it is
thought that the change will make it
easier to speed up business matters.
-ft
Anchorage was the first city m
Alaska to organize a post of the
American Legion, and received the
first charter. It is likely that Juneau
will now remain headquarteres until
a territorial convention is held and a
place chosen.
Two new posts of the American Le
gion have recently been organized.
The new posts are at Wrangell and
Ketchikan, and one is being organ
ized at Cordova.
* The constitution of the American
Legion reads in part as follows:
“Article IX, Section 1. Those who
desire to form a post shall make ap
plication for a charter to the com-;
inander of the department in which
they reside. The charter shall be is
sued by the national commander and
national adjutant upon the receipt of
#ie application, properly executed by
the charter members of the projected
post, but only when such application
is approved by the commander of the
department, or by the department ex
ecutive committee. Post charters
shall be countersigned by the com
mander and the adjutant of the de
partment.”

America Has Risen to a New Life, to a
New Place Among the Nations
By CALVIN COOLIDGE, Governor of Massachusetts
America has arisen to a new life. We have taken a new place among
the nations. The Revolution made us a nation; the Spanish war made us
a world power; the present war has given us recognition as a world power.
We shall not again be considered provincial. Whether we desire it or not,
this position has come to us with its duties and responsibilities.
This new position should not be misunderstood. It does not mean
any diminution of our national spirit; it rather means that it should be
intensified. . . . Believing in our nation thoroughly and unreservedly,
confident that the evidence of the past and present justifies that belief, it is
our desire to make America more American. . . .
We have come to the realization of a new brotherhood among nations
and among men. It came through the performance of a common duty. A
brotlierhood that existed unseen has been recognized at last of those called
to the camp and trenches and those working for their victory at home.
This spirit must not be misunderstood. It is not a gospel of ease but of
work, not of dependence but of independence, not of an easy tolerance of
wrong but a stern insistence on right, not the privilege of receiving but the
duty of giving.
Monument to Santa Anita American Derby Winners
LOS ANGELES.—Famous in life, the race horses of the late “Lucky” Baldwin
are not to be forgotten in death. Out at the Santa Anita ranch Miss Anita
M. Baldwin, daughter of the noted horseman, is seeing to that. Over a mound

of the stallion .paddocks she is erect
ing a monument to four American ,
derby winners—Volante (188b), Sil
ver Cloud (1886), Emperor of Nor
folk (1888) and Rey el Santa Anita
(1894). at Washington park in Chicago.
These four thoroughbreds won for their
owner over $50,000 in American Derby
prizes alone. In their day they are
said to have captured stakes and
purses totaling more than $500,000.
The American Derhv at Chi men was
for 17 years (he greatest turf event in America. Rey el Santa Anita’s last pub
lic appearance was in 1915, when he was judged senior champion and grand
champion thoroughbred stallion at the Panama-Pacific International exposi
tion, despite the fact that he was then twenty-four years old. Rey el Santa
Anita died July 3 last. In bis tomb they placed his bridle and halter, his
silver-mounted saddle, his blankets, and his jockey’s riding colors.
Over the graves of four of the best horses that ever raced in their days
in this country Miss Baldwin is rearing a lasting monument in the form of a
concrete Maltese cross six feet square. The Maltese cross was the racing
emblem of “Lucky” Baldwin, and it hangs over the doorways of the pad
docks at Santa Anita ranch to this day.
This gigantic cross will be finished in red, with black crosslines. At the
base of the cross the names of the four famous American Derby winners and
their records will be lettered upon bronze tablets.

extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY.
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment ; the result will make you* a steady shipper.
