PAINT-PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec
tion against fire! *
And be certain that your paint protection is as re
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two-thirds the cost of a painting job is labor.
Hgroe, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure Paint are
made of only'pure linseed oil, pure white lead and
pure pigments. ‘Cheaper" paints are made of cheap
er materials, hence the film they form doesn't "hold
up"—it doesn't last and it doesn't protect.
Ask any Fuller Dealer. Write for free book, "Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For ail large jobs con
sult a master painter.

HISTORY OF CHIEF OLAF
AND HIS BOOTS
PICTURE THE CHIEF AND HIS
PRIZE MUKLUKS
He was born February 32, 1860
next d-odr to the snuff factory in
Snoose, a small town on that great
Peninsula extending north from Rus
sia. He wits very bright in school
and finished his education by going
through the University before i* was
completed. He worked before the
mast on a sailing ship and deserted
her in the Third Division—Cordova
we’ll say. The Indians took a great
fancy to him on account of his good
looks and fine personality which cre
ated great jealousy among the "wo
men, but he finally became a squaw
man by marrying Annie, sixty-nine
years old and going strong.
He showed the natives how to dig
clams, how to boil eggs in ice water.
Great Olaf, he was! Then how to
make mules look more serious. He
taught them the Geisha, the Hula
Hula and the Sain't Vitas dance. He
stopped the propagation of the Boll
Weevil with shocks of electric stat
ic. He was working on a process
to cure leprosy, smallpox, seven-year
itch, yellow jack, black plague and
the inevitable T. B.’s with nicotine
serum extracted from smoked herr
ing. He saved the lives of millions
of people from the flu, by advising
them to stay away from chimneys
having the flue. He made the finest
moonshine in Alaska which he gave
away lavishly, except what he sold.
He prevented the hoof and mouth
1 , . i
disease by massaging each cow with
buttermilk. He trained the King Sal
mon to swim backwards.
He was manager of the Wig Book
and Hook Worm Hatchery in Sitka,
He drove the first Ox team down the
Yukon river from Dawson to St
Michael. He sold the Siberian fe
male groundhog liver oil to the ear
ly settlers in Nome for frying the
proverbial “sourdough” hotcakes.
He discover how to take the chills
out of a fever. He organized the
Salvation Army in Valdez yhich has
a membership of 10,000 more or less
mostly less. He lectured on birth
control of mosquitoes, cockroaches
and tape worms and received a warm
welcome on a cold day in Honolulu
He was president and confidential
advisor of the suicide club Killisnoc
and saved many members from using
gas or poison but kindly advised
them to either hang, shoot or drown
themselves.
Then he wrote a hook of what a
young Maid of seventy should have
known and made a misfortune from
it. He loved the wilds of Alaska,
and cultivated, trained and tamed
wild women, wild oat, wild cats, wild
flowers and the Wild Irish Rosies,
and was a great admirer of Oscar
Wilde.
January 37th, 1923, he went to the
beach in Cordova to dig some clams
and was found with his feet up and
his head in the mud frozen stiff,
owing to his body being shrunk and
shriveled; when his wife found him
she did not recognize it was her
husband until it was proved that he
had corns under each foot.
The Bootleggers’ association got up
a collection and sent poor Olaf’s
body back to the old country, but
his government sent it back because
he was an American citizen. Then
the United States Order of Ground
Hogs gave him a grand funeral near
a Fox farm on an Island surrounded
by water.
(N.B) Everybody who knew Olaf
said that if he had not died he wrnuld
still be alive today.
One of the barbers on the Alaska
Steamship company’s boats found his
boots filled with ferns high up on
the beach and has them on exhibi
tion in his shop wiiere he specializes
in and features mainly:
The painless chiropody, the Oliver
Twist Massage movement, the Ishi,
Mishi Mashi Mushi Kashi Fan Vi
brator. The Midget face massage
cost two-bits. The number system
for keeping a record of “your turn
next’’ is on display in a conspicuous
place behind a large calendar hang
ing on the floor.
Friends of Olaf will regret to hear
of his untimely disappearance from
human life and all will sympathize
heartily in Olaf’s wife’s late be
reavement.
