STOP, LOOK, LISTEN
Did you ever stop to thank Mother
Nature for her generosity to you?
Or perhaps you don’t think she has
been generous. But if that is so, the
fault is yours. You have not under
stood the old woman.
Moth Nature is the most bountiful
creature imaginable. She gives with
a lavish hand. Nothing is too good
for her children. All she asks of them
is that they hold out their hands.
Perhaps, if you haven’t got yours, you
have failed to look receptive. The
old lady doesn’t follow you around,
begging you to accept her gifts. She
draws the line there. Anything she
has is yours, free and for the asking,
but you have to ask.
Take the Cerro Azul oil well down
in Mexico for instance.e That is an
illustration worthy of Mother Nature’s
wonderful generosity. The Cerro
Azul, when tapped, produced 275,000
barrels a day. Think of it! Free, all
for the asking. Mother Nature had
her private stock hid away. She
wanted to be convivial with it, to pass
it around, to make everybody happy
with it. But she did not feel that she
could go out into the highways and
byways, like the Scriptural host. No,
Kbe said to herself, let them come to
my house and show an interest. Then
everything shall be theirs. Stupid
cakaleros and stolid peons passed that
way; stubbed their toes over the very
rock that was a cork to this untold
wealth. But they did not understand.
They did not see Mother Nature
waiting there, half-smiling in would
be cordiality: forced to hold herself
back lest she seem forward and pre
sumptuous. How she wanted to be
stow upon them her stores of wealth,
ret restrained herself lest she seem j
forward. They passed on, stupid, sel- j
fish, self-centered in their petty af- !
fairs, unaware that they had only to
hold out their hand and smile, and
the wealth of ten thousand Solomons
would he theirs—free gratis for noth- \
inr. !
It is a wonderful thought that Moth- j
er Nature is waiting always eager to j
give and that all we have to do is to j
understand. After the eabalero and !
the neon had passed on there came j
a man one day who did understand.
He answered Mother Nature’s welcom
ing smile, he held out his hands and
she poured them full of rich black
petroleum. Think of it—275,000 bar
rels of oil a day, spouting forth free
to the man who asked for it.
The Casiano well, No. 7, in its ten
years of life, has poured out 82.000.
##9 barrels of oil. Never has it equal
ed the initial gush of the Cerro Azul,
but for sustained performance it has
distanced all wells ever drilled.
These great oil gushers are hut an
examnle of Mother Nature’s wealth
and her improvident generosity. Al
most all the great fortunes have been
built by the exploitation of these gifts.
The plutocrats of today were the poor
men of yesterday who understood and
who held out their h^nds and asked.
The multi-millionaires of the future
will he the poor men of today who
understand. Nature’s storehouse of
wealth is still filled to overflowing.
Opportunity is as ever at hand now
as in the past. All that you need do
is to understand.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The cannery men’s decision to re
strain is a wonderful thing. It is a
beautiful sentiment. We only hope
that there is not a big salmon run in
Alaska this year. Knowing Alaska
cannerymen as we do, we would hate
to see them tempted too strongly.—
Douglas News.
The sinking of tanks on upper Lake
Kenai and capturing gas arising from
the bottom of the late; the piping of
the gas from the tanks to the shore
and subsequent gas flow for heating
and lighting purposes, indicates some
thing besides vegetable gas. The ex
periment and test will be eagerly
awaited by Seward people.—Seward
Gateway.
Alaska is finally in the limelight.
Though ridiculously neglected and
bureaued to death for years, the last
territory is now a conspicuous figure
in congress. This prominence augurs
well for a decisive change, not only
in administrative affairs, but also in
regard to other matters of vital in
terest to Alaska. By requesting the
too numerous bureaus for an account
of activities in Alaska, congress is
getting to the kernal of the nut. The
prayer of all Alaska is that the re
gime of bureaucracy is at an end and
that Alaskans may soon have the op
portunity to govern themselves ac
cording to their own light.—Anchor
age Times.
