Rev. E. P. Ziegler favored the
achool with an interesting talk on art
last Wednesday. After a brief dis
cussion of the subject in general he
told of the life and work of Rem
brandt in a most interesting way. He
promised us another similar talk in
the near future, and we are all look
ing forward to it, as this one was so
throughly enjoyed.
The Liberty Calendar—Dorris Adams
The American Equal Months Calen
dar Association has introduced into
congress a bill which provides for a
change in our calendar.
Many business men of the country
have decided that if the months of the
year were of equal length it would be
a great convenience in transacting
business. They would have twenty
eight days to the month and thirteen
ponths to the year. By this change
there will be two extra days which
will not be in any month or week, but
will be independent legal holidays
One of these will be called “New
Year’s day,” and the other, occurring
every four years and corresponding tc
the 29th of February, will be known
as “Correction day.” The new month
will b^named “Liberty” and will come
between February and March. Lega'
holidays would always fall on the same
day of the week.
If the bill is passed by congress the
new calendar will go into effect Jan
1, 1922.
Five of the girls in Miss Edelbrock’s
room gave her a pleasant surprise las1
Monday morning. Phyllis Downing
Margaret Porter, Irva Call, Helen and
Sadie Pratt learned a Washington’s
birthday selection all by themselves
and volunteered to recite it during the
opening exercise period. Things o:
this kind show a good spirit and hell
to make a good school.
Jessie Graham said: “Miss Keever
I wanted to talk while you were ou
of the room, but I wouldn’t let my
self.” Jessie is learning one of the
Biost^-worth-while lessons wdien she
learns and practices self-control.

Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the
department of the interior has made
the following statement concerning the
report that he has resigned from the
cabinet: “I have not sent a resigna
tion to the president nor even written
it, but I do contemplate going out of
the cabinet and have withheld talking
to the president about it because I do
not wish to add to his burdens or wor
ries at this time. Nor do I know
when the time will come when I can.
I have thought it unkind to say any
thing to him about the matter and
that any mention of it now by anyone
would be a needless annoyance.”
Secretary Lane's admirers—and
their name is legion—have often said
that if he had been born in 1867 in
stead of 1864 they would not have to
speak of him as “Mr. Presidential Im
possibility.” The point is that he was
born in Prince Edward Island and was
taken to California at the age of three
hv hie fo+hov
Many thousands of nature lovers think well of Secretary Lane for what
he has done for the national parks. Largely because of his efforts, the
national parks have become known to the American people and are now
regarded as a great national economic asset instead of a financial liability.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a vary
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.
