CUTTING ACCOMPLISHED
Timber sale receipts in the Chu

official visitor in Seward a few days
ago. This year, however, there, were
only 64 individual timiber sale con
tracts made, as against 88 for the
year before. However, the sales this
year averaged considerably higher

is an increase of about a million
board feet over last year’s figures.
The amount of timber cut in 1926
under existing contracts was 3,801,
510 board feet as against 3,893,440 for
the year previous.
In addition to the timber .cut un
der commercial sales, the Alaska
Railroad took from the forest under
free use permit, the equivalent of 3,
592,000, having the stumpage value
of $3,856.46. Thus the total stump
age cut during 1925 totals 7,394,610
board feet, with a combined value of
$10,338.73.
ELEVATING INDIAN LIFE BY
TEACHING YOUNG. NEW IDEAS
BISMARCK, N. D„ Jan. 12. (£>)—
North Dakota’s last frontier is fad
ing as the new generation of natilve
Indians is taught the haibits and bene
fits of the white man’s life. Through
the Indian girls in the government
school here, of which Clark B. Dick
inson is head, the uplift of the In
dian family is being attempted.
Substantial houses already have re
placed the tepee as the home of In
dians living on North Dakota reser
vations. A knowledge of sanitation
is helping ot increase their life span,
said Mr. Dickinson.
At *he school, where 125 girls are
taught domestic science and house
hold arts in addition to subjects or
dinarily in the grade school cirricu
lum, special emphasis is laid on
those things which the adult Indian
needs most to know about his living.

FOAMING BEER
FLOWS FASTER
IN GERMANY
BIGGEST OF ALL GERMAN FAIRS
TO BE HELD NEXT YEAR
AFTER DECADE
BERLIN, Jan. 12. (/P)~ Sigfried
Wagner, dramatic producer and son
of Richard Wagner, the great sculp
tor and 'Composer, has published a
fiery protest against the invasion of
jazz in Germany.
“The Blue Danube is neafced and
dearer to us than Cuba and .Santo
Domingo,” he declared. “The nation
al dignity,” Herr Wagner continues,
“demands that the youth of Ger
many waltz to the Danube and viva
cious melodies of Johann Strauss in
stead of dancing to negro tunes, es
ipecally in view of the national re
sentment over the French employ
met of .black troops in the occupation !
of the Rhineland.”
Jazz is all right for the United
States, Herr Wagner believes because
■it is indigenous there, being the evo
lution of negro native music.
■With beer foamng and flowing
from spgots in more than ten thous
and licensed dispensaries at the rate
of a pint a day for every man, wo
man and child in Berlin, visitors won
der where the “suds” comes from.
There are only twelve breweries in
Berlin and one has to go a long "way
to the outskirts of the city to find
most of them. Hasenheide, the fa
vorite beer garden picnic grounds,
is a district which barbers several
breweries. Much beer is imported
from Munich.
The brewing industry is one of the
few in wThich consolidations have ta
ken place at a ipace akin to Ameri
can industry. Fifty years ago there
were 48 ibreweries in the Grman cap
ital. Any good bar was able to dis
play a row of spigots from which
flowed as many as twenty varieties
of beer.
Though the per capita consumption
of beer has remained about the same,
there are few cafes or bars today
which offer more than five or six of
brew.
Following the custom of William I,
founder of the modern German em
pire, President vou Hindenburg, im
mediately on his return from a tour
of the country writes in his own
head letters of thanks to the heads
of governments, state, and municipal,
who have entertained him.
The president scorns assistance
from secretaries or typists. With a
firm had which in no way betrays
his age, he wrrites out his apprecia
tion, insisting that gratitude is a per
sonal matter which cannot be ex
pressed by proxy or with the aid of
such a mechanical device as the mod
ern typewriter.
Contemporary German drama is at
law ebb because authors use type
writers, says Ferdinand Meysel, dean
of Berlin theatrical managers. Warn
ing playwrights to “get back to pen
and ink” he says:
“Typewriters ought to be junked:
stenographers fired. Dramatists stop
dictating your work; take pen and
ink and sit down alone in your stud
ies. The your literary genius, if
you have any, will soon return and
the tiresome flood of superfluous dia
logue will vanish from your manu
scripts.”
The Cologne carnival, gayest of all
German fairs, is to be' revived next
year after 11 years of inactivity.
With prsopects of complete evacu
ation of the Cologne teritory by al
lied troops next spring, directors of
the carnival are at work on plans for
1026. Opposition of the Roman Cath
olic clergy has waned.
It was charged that the fairs en
dangered the morals of young men
and women.
The famous horse fair probably
will give away to an automobile show
at the coming carnival. The war
and disorganization of German caval
ry regiments has left the province
without its former choice selection of
horses. Street parades with huge
floats will also have to be curtailed
because of the low hanging trolley
wires on the principal streets.

IT THE
METHOD OF
L ORDER
MERCHANDIZING
Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It's not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—'With low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
