SUPPORT THE LADIES
The Seward Woman’s Club is
confronted with a task which is
| giving the good ladies considerable
cause for anxiety for at their
meeting the other day they went
on record to furnish one of the
i nurses rooms in the new Seward
I General Hospital. Anxiety be
cause of the fact they have little
| or no funds in the treasury.
! So among the ways and means
discussed to raise a sufficient
amount of money for this worthy
I cause the members -concluded a
mammoth bake-sale would prob
ably be the best; so they settled
on Saturday, May 17 as the day.
The place of the sale will be an
nounced later when arrangements
have been completed.
It is known that the American
Legion Auxilary of Seward is to
make a substantial donation but
the members of the Woman’s Club
feel that the majority of the wo
men in the city would appreciate
the opportunity to aid this food
sale by cooking food or baking
pies, cakes, breads, or something
else. This cooperation will be
gratefully appreciated and upon
publication of the committee-in
charge names, the women of Sew
ard are pleased asked to notify
them of their intention of what
they intend to cock or bake.
Judging from the preparation
being made and enthusiasm dis
played this Food-Sale will un
doubtedly be about the biggest of
its kind ever held here.
At this stage of the game it
v'ou!d anneal* that Wickersham is
the people's choice to run foi
Delegate to Congress from Alaska,
at the general election next No
vember. However, it must be re
membered the entire Westward is
still to be heard from r.s well as
reports from the 2nd Division and
many other precincts in the three
other Divisions.

In every mail arriving in the
magnificent offices of this paper,
reams of pacer containing radio
program schedules of Outside sta
tions are received. The only rea
son we don’t publish them is be
cause. generally, the programs
have “done come and gone.” Per
haps in another hunderd years or
so the multitudes in the States
will begin to realize Alaska is
not just next door.

The enactment of the dry law
11 years ago has proved to be
ihe greatest crime ever perpe
trated upon a free citizenry.

One difference between Alaska
>nd the States is that any regu
ar fellow can get his name in
m Alaskan paper but Outside
me has to commit murder or
)ecome involved in a smutty
scandal.

Judging from the average ed
tor’s mail many insurance com
>anies must believe their line of
idvertising circulars makes good
eading matter. Why don’t they
>ay for their stuff the same as
►ther legitimate businesses?

All over the country it is said
hat merchants who attempted to
ave by expense reductions that
nvclve contraction of advertising
pace found that their business
windled. There is only one way
o let people know what you have
or sale and that is by advertis
ag; most alert business men
iave known that little fact for
ears. *
