FINBACK WHALES
EMBRYO CONDITION
IN ALASKA WATERS
STARTLING DISCOVERY IS MADE
THIS SEASON IN ALASKA AT
AKUTAN STATION.
The outstanding feature of the pre
sent whaling season at the Akutan
station, which has been the greatest
in the history of the company, was
the condition of the finback whales.
Is is stated by members of the crew
of the whaler Moran, in port last
■week, that out of every ten finbacks
caught, nine of them were in an em
bryo condition. The littlb whales
were found in sizes ranging from one
and one-half inch to 21 feet in length,
and all, perfectly formed and fully
developed. It is stated this is some
thing that has never been known be
fore, finback whales giving birth in
Alaskan waters.
Upon this information reaching the
States it will no doubt be the cause
of creating considerable interest
among the scientists and, in all proba
bility, mean a scientific expedition
to the Westward region next year,
for the whaling season will come to
a close the latter part of this month.
SHOULD A WOMAN
TRAIL HER HUBBY?
Has a woman the right to spy on
her husband? Is it ethical for her to
hire a detective to watch him if she
thinks he is “wandering?” Or should
she disdain to do such things, deem
ing it unworthy of her love?
This is the problem that confronts
Diana Moreland in “Wandering Hus
bands.” Her husband has been phil
andering, but for the sake of their
child and because lie promised to re
form, she forgave him. In spite of
his assertions to the contrary, she
knows that he isn’t keeping his pro
mise. She is not a spying suspicious
woman, but because she believes that
Rosemary’s love for her father should
not be destroyed she engages a de
tective to watch her husband and see
that he is worthy of his child’s love.
His reports are not very gratifying
to Diana, but she has brains and uses
them to preserve her home.
James Kirkwood and Lila Lee have
the principal parts.
C. Gardner Sulliean wrote the story
of “Wandering Husbands,” which is
showing at the Liberty for the last
time tonight.

Make Yankees Shun Berlin
BERLIN, Sept. 18. (£>)—High prices
| and not enough for the visitors’
| money is the answer of Kurt Luep
j schuetz, general manager of the Ho
j tel Operating Company why so few
American tourists visit Berlin. Writ
ing in the Weekly Berlin he express
ed that opinion at the same time de
claring it possible for foreigners to
live cheaper in Berlin than in Paris,
London or New York.
Free State Population
Estimated at 3,163,000
DUBLIN, Sept. 18. (/P)—An official

WHALING STATION
FOR KODIAK ISLAND
SECOND LARGEST STATION IN
THE WORLD BE ESTABLISHED
AT KODIAK, SAYS REPORT.
According to information reaching
the Seward Gateway the second larg
est whaling station in the world will
be established on Kodiak Island next
spring by the Atlantic-Pacific Sea Pro
ducts Company, owners of the Akutan
station. It is stated the large whal
ing station, which has been in opera
tion at Aberdeen, Wn., fof the past
several years, it now being disman
tled and will be moved to Kodiak Is
land in the spring. Fifty-five men
and three whaling boats have been
employed at the Aberdeen station.
Proposal Made to Name
Battalions After Clans
DUBLIN, Sept. 18. (;P)—The Free
State army has 27 battalions of in
fantry, and it is now proposed that
they shall be named after the most
famous of the Irish clans, O’Byrnes,
MacMahons, O’Neills and others.
There are enough clan names to
go round, and it is urged that the
new titles would encourage patriotic
ideals among the soldiers. It is hop
ed that some units will bear the
names of great Irishmen of the past
from Sarsfield to Collins.
It must bea pleasant experience
to visit a traffic cop’s home and
see him get bossed around.
It would be interesting to come
back a thousand years from now
and see what then is called heresy.
If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you.
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
/■
r
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
When you buy ,from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage.' He puts forth
every effort to hold, your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. ,
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community. ,
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.
