DOLLAR DAY
Friday sales inaugurated in Sew
ard by Seward merchants last iveek
have been augmented this week by
several others who are awrnre of the
knowledge that “It Pays To Adver
tise. That the modern housewife takes
issue with the merchants goes with
out saying and testimonial evidence
was quoted in last Saturday’s paper
of the fact by Sewrard merchants. It
is a splendid idea and the merchants
of Seward show enterprise in carry
ing on such campaign, w'hich is con
ducive to both the thrifty buyer and
the merchant himself.
Some men are old at 60—some are
old at 20—but you’ll find wholesome
sport at the S. A. C. any nite in the^
week, and if you want to feel like 16
from the bald spot down just join the
members of the club at indoor. Your
presence is as welcome as the flowrers
in May.
TODAY’S SHORT STORY
Short story of Newr York State
journalism: Senator Copeland bought
the Nyack News. Voters defeated
all candidates supported by the Ny
ack News. Senator Copeland sold
■the Nyack News.
Rev. James S. Montomery, chap
lain of the House of Repres-enta
tives at Washington, is quoted by*
the Associated Press tersely de
scribing our conflicting theologians
thus: “Modernists says there is no
hell: Fundamentalists say, ‘the hell
there ain’t’.'
Reports from Mexico declare that
4,000 new rural schools are to be es
tablished in that republic during the
present winter, mostly among the re
mote Indian population. Moving pic
tures and industrial training are also
to be introduced, in accordance with
promises made by President Calles,
who appears to be making a sincere
effort to improve the condition of
his country.
In writing of bandits who carried
off a safe at Selma, Ala., broke it
open with railroad tools, secured $1,
300 and made a clean getaway, a
correspondent says, “it is believed
that the robbery was committed by
amateurs.” When these fellows grad
uate into the professional class they
will bear watching.
Authorities at Notre Dame Uni
versity have refused to approve the
building of a modern athletic stad
ium until after additional class rooms
and dormitories have been provided.
And a lot of us thought all they did
at Notre Dame was to graduate foot
ball players.
Colonel Mitchell has been offered a
job in connection with an aircraft
enterprise at Muscle Shoals and an
other as editor of a Florida news

no difficulty in findin somethin to
do. Besides, there are the movies
and the Chautauqua platform to be
heard from.

MAN OF THE HOUR IN TEXAS
Dan Moody, the youthful Attorney
General of Texas, seems to be clearing
the atmosphere by securing promise of
both “Old Jim” and “Ma” Ferguson
.not to run for governor in 1926. He
also issued a formal opinion that it
would be against public opinion to ac
cept private money to cover cost of
special session of the legislature. The
possibility of impeachment seems fad
ing. Moody is even boomed for gov
ernor.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of E
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith E
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and S
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with =
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still 5
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one 5
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains- E
takingly striding towards a, great goal—the greater development of 1
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by E
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi- §
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
