TSot A Butterfly
Money that has slipped through your
fingers in the last twelve months is
gone. You can’t recapture it again
with a butterfly net, because someone
else now owns it and enjoys its use.
You can, however, determine to bank a
part of each dollar you will earn dyring
this year. That is the first step in
building up a growing bank account.
A growing bank account means more
than more money. It means less worry
and greater independence for you.

JUNEAU MEN FILE ARTICLES
OF INCORPORATION; WILL
MAKE ALASKAN PICTURE
JUNEAU.— The Pioneer Picture
Corporation, organized in Juneau to
produce in motion pictures “Break
ing the Fur Trust,” a historical and
educational Alaiska story, of which
Henry Moses is the author, has filed
articles of incorporation. It is capi
talized at $100,000—100,000 shares of
the par value of $1. The company’s
officers are: Henry Moses, president;
John Reck, treasurer; Ray H. Stev
ens, Secretary; and these with Rev.
A. P. Kashevaroff, William Wright,
Arthur Fieken and John Ford Starr
are the directors.
The scenario, “Breaking the Fur
j Trust,” was written by Mr. Moses,
i for 35 years engaged in the fur trade
in Alaska, most of which time his
headquarters have been in Juneau. It
is based upon the actual experiences
of the author and authentic historical
incidents and portrays actual condi
tions and customs among the Indians.
Many who appear in this play are
actual participants in the historical
incidents that are presented by the
author.
Mr. Moses has concluded arrange
ments with Wallace Chewin, an ex
perienced motion picture director
and cameraman, who will have charge
of the techinal work. Mr. Moses will
gather the Indians, select the location
and make it his business to see that
the picture presents truly the things
portrayed.
The story begins with and the pic
ture will reproduce the establishment
of the first Russian post at Old Sitka
in 1789. This will be followed by the
massacre of the Russians at the post
in 1802; the transfer of Russian
America to the United States in
! 1807, including the lowering of the
ensign of Russia, and the raising of
the Stars and Stripes (in the picture
! Old Glory will be raised by a woman
: who, as a little girl, witnessed the
actual ceremony); raising the Amer
I ican flag at Haines where Mr. Moses
i and Col. Ripinski, pioneer of that
; place, shake hands.
Educational Features
Among the educational features of
1 the picture will be the processes of
basketmaking by the Indians, from
| the gathering of the roots from which
1 the baskets are made to the finished
article; the same treatment of the
Indian dyes and the Chilkat blan
kets; the processes of carving totem
poles and making and carving native
jewelry.
Hunting Scenes
minting scenes will include the
l spearing of a big brown bear by the
natives, the dens of the bears and
the natives to perform the feat have j
already been selected. Purchasing furs
from the Indians; a trip along a trap
! line with the wild fur-bearing ani
; mals in the traps; spearing, etc.
There will be many scenes from
native life, in which the actors will
be Alaskan natives in original cos
tumes; native dances including war
and peace dances, Tsimpsian dances,
! an Indian potlatch, and natives shown
gambling with their sticks.
Not only will the picture show the
breaking of the fur trust, by Mr.
Moses, an actual occurrence the au
thor says, the ceremony of making
Mr. Moses a tribal chief, the smoking
j of the peace pipe, and other interest
ing ritualistic performances, but it
| will present a delightful and inter
j esting love romance.
DENVER JUDGE SHOCKED BV
SCHOOL CHILDREN DRINKING
DENVER, Mar. 5.—Judge Lindsey
of the Denver juvenile court, in a
statement issued here yesterday fol
i lowing his return from an eastern lec
i lore tour, declared that the growing
j ufe of alcoholic drinks by school pu
pils was everywhere apparent in the
land.
The greatest factor contributing to
juvenile delinquency throughout the
country^ the judge said, was the lack
of understanding of modern youths
among modern adults. The modern
youth knows the modern adult much
better than the adult knows the mod
ern youth, he declared.
“The most outstanding impression
of my trip,” Judge Lindsey said, “is
the growing use of alcoholic drinks
among school children. In every city
; I visited I saw and heard much to im
press this thing on my mind, and in
Detroit while I was there the city
was much worked up over a party
held in one of the hotels and attended
by high school children, at wihch al
cohol flowed freely.
“While I am not opposed to prohi
bition,” he continued, “the day, is a
detriment to crime, has been a great
disappointment. There has been
more alcoholism in New York during
the last year than before the prohibi-j
lion law went into effect, according
to statistics compiled by a prominent
woman doctor and published by a
New York paper and I find that op
inion generally held.
“It is the opinion of most of the
men I talked to that the use of drugs
has increased rapidly in the past few
years, aud a doctor in Detroit told me
that his drug cases had increased ten
fold since the advent of prohibition.”
During his two months’ trip Judge
Lindsey visited Omaha, Chicago, De
troit, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Rochester N.
rY., and many smaller cities of the
country.
