SOMETHING IS MISSiNG
ON NEW FOLDER
Some time since, Seward, Anchor
age and Xenana joined eogether,
put up the money and had many
thousand excellent folders printed
to show in picture, mostly, and by
short text that “Alaska’s Greatest
Enchantment Lies Along The Mc
Kinley Park Route” and lies, and
lies. The Alaska Railroad put in
with those enterprising towns and
thousands and thousands of copies
of the illustrated pamphlet were
printed and distributed. As the
News-Miner has been for 20 years
telling the world what a great and
enterprising city Fairbanks is and
how all other Alaska cities anc
towns are only cheap imitations ot
Fairbanks, about 1,000 of oui
friends in the three towns mentioned
who have had to read the News-Mi
ner boasting all these years several
ly conspired, each with himself to
send us a copy of that folder, and
poke fun at us that our boasted
Fairbanks doesn't even show in pic
ture ,rail route or by’ printed word
on that map. It is their turn to
crow, and they are entitled to their
triumph. We haven’t a word to say.
Even Nerana Chortles with a glee
at us, and sends us a folder with the
following “slam-back” typewritten on
a card within it:
WE CAN SLAMBACK
“Where Rails and Rivers Meet.”

Fairbanks-on- the-Spur,
ESTEEMED SIR:—Enclosed find
a sample of our new tourist folder
of which you will , no doubt, wish
to order a few thousand. We will
be glad to furnish prices upon re-,
quest.
At this time we would also like
to ask your support for a popular
movement and campaign to be in
augurated in the near future to
move the Court House from Fair
banks to Nenana, the logical lo
cation for it, because it is the Hub
City. We will discuss this matter
a little later.
THE AMALGAMATED ORDER
OF NENANA BOOSTERS.
By We Can Slamback, Sec’y.
P. S.—Kirfdly advise just where
Fairbanks is located on this folder
, map.”
WE ARE NOT THERE
By inspection we find that Fair
banks is located on that map just
; beyond where the map ends and
I where our Nenana friends “lo
! cated” it in red ink. The map shows
the Alaska Railroad from Seward to
j the Tanana river -at Nenana, and
then quits. And, we are compelled
to admit that it is not the fault of
the folder publishers.
For so long we have felt our
importance (or what we maintained
was something like that) that Fair
banks has grown to believe that it
will always remain the one spot in
♦ the limelight in Alaska without ef
fort on Fairbank’s part or assessment
for advertising. The net extent Fair
banks has gone to this year in ad
vertising itself when advertising
! might count best is 2,000 cards with
taxicab rates on the back and seven
or eight points of interest described
in two or three lines each on the
front. That took the last cent the
Commercial Club possessed. Last
year, full of hope as ever, we print
ed 5,000 “Low-Down Truths,” and
i if the next two Railroad Managers
had not found a way to take them
off ou/ hands at beiow-cost rates,
; they would still be in the office, so
far as Fairbanks is concerned
WHAT’S THE ANSWER?
So far as the News-Miner is con
cerned, Fairbanks is the only city
in the world and the only one really
worth living in. So far as the
City, itself, is concerned, it is living
in the past. We have no organiza
tion of town boosters or town pro
moters, because we have made up
our mind that we, each of us can
not agree with the ether fellow be
cause HE IS so wrong. Feeling that
way, it comes that way. And the
I green grass continues to grow, all
around. It isn’t true, and it isn't
right, but there is a law aga;nst hu
man “eradication.”

POVERTY IS DEADLY
WEAPON TO HAPPINESS
DAYTON, O., Aug. 16.—Three
fourths of home disruption and di
vorce proceedings over the country
follow disagreements over family
li nance, according to the courts-*- of
domestic relations.
“When poverty comes in the door,
love flies out the window,” quotes
Edith McClure Patterson, known to
women’s clubs over the country as
the “thrift lady,” pointing to court
records.
Mrs. Patterson recently held a
Thrift Conference in New York, at
tended by Mrs. John D. Sherman,
General Federation of Women’s
clubs chairman of education; Mrs.
Maggie W. Marrie, College Station,
Texas, chairman of home econom
ics, and other specialists, together
with 5,000 interested spectators, and
outlined a family budget, which, if
lived up to, according to Mrs. Pat
terson, will make divorce a dead
issue and every little home a para
dise all its own.
“The American woman speeds
the family income, so it is she who
sets the national standard of liv
ing, good or bad,” says Mrs. Patter
son. The wife’s buying is of great
er national importance than that of
Rockefeller, Morgan and other Wall
street dictators. As a wife buys,
so will her family be. If she
spends more than her husband
makes, woe be to that home.
Planned buying always leads to
planned thinking in the expenditure
of time, health and material which
in turn leads to happiness. Inter
national -peace is the dominating
consideration in every woman’s con
vention held in America today. But
peace in individual American home
comes closer to every American
woman . Nothing tends more to
peace in the home than efficient
family finance, with the family liv
ing within its income and with a
nest-egg in the bank.
Realizing this, the general federa
tion has added to its divisions of
work one that will distribute infor
mation concerning better methods
of buying and more efficient spend
ing of club women. It also advo
cates increased training in practi
cal finance for young people.
Greater efficiency in the expendi
ture of the net family Income will
result in:
‘Increased quantity and quality
of industrial production; greater
family harmony and, therefore, few
er divorces; elimination of sickness;
improved environment for children
and more money for recreations,
happiness for everyone, which, after
all, is what the whole world is look
ing for.”
