BEWARE
Beware of the s ock peddler! Be
ware of the man who promises you
riches quickly. Beware of the man
who offers you more than a legitimate
income on your money
That does not mean that people
should not take a risk where’ large
profits would be the leward of suc
cess and total loss the price ot failure.
But one should never risk more thanj
he can afford to lose. And never,
should he take a risk un'ess he knows
who are behind the proposition, and
all that is to be know& about it. The
man who grubstakes a prospector
takes a risk, but he knows the pros
pector and knows he will get an hon
est run for his money, and he knows
something of the chances for the suc
cess of the man who goes forth .in
search of gold, silver, copper or some
other natural resources.
When an outsider conies :n:o Alas
ka to raise money, remember that he
came from a country where there is,
much more money for investment than
there is in Alaska, and if his proposi-i
tion were a certain one ne would not
be here. His stock would all be taken
down there where so much money is
seeking investment. Therefor'1, you
are gambling when you buy his offer
ings. And when you gamble in the,
capital stock of a company that is
still in the hands of the promoters you
are not only taking a risk on the prac
ticability of the proposition but on the
honesty and competency of its man
agement, on its ability to finance it
self adequately, on a thousand and
one contingencies.
There are many opportunities in
Alaska for one to get action on money
with which he may be willing to take
a risk. They are offered in connec
tion with our mineral, timber, fisher
ies, fur and other resources, and the;
money will be risked in combinations,
where the people who will handle it
are known and where one may get a
chance to look at the proposition once
in a while. There are frequently op
portunities for the use of money in
Alaska, where there is bright promise
for large returns and very little risk.
There are nearly., always absolutely
safe investments where the returns;
are legitimate.
A very safe rule, if you have money;
to invest, is to talk with your banker’
first. It would be well to talk with
him before gambling with your money.

SCHOOL NOTES
The different High Scliol typing
classes under the supervision of Mrs.
M. Short, are trying for typing medals.
These are given for speed, neatness,
and proficiency.
The grammar grades have been hold
ing a horseshoe pitching contest for
championships the pa§t week. The
winner of the boys game was Guy
Manthey. The winner for the girls
was Elsa Larssen. The winners re
ceived a small monetary prize.
The dance committee held a meet
ing Monday evening. No plans have
yet been given out. It is expected that
a dance will be given some time in
December.
We still have some money left from
our Vicirola fund. Part of this has
been spent in securing fifteen or
twenty new records for the school’s
Victrola.
Last week a fund of $66 was uncov
ered from what was left of the old li
brary fund. With this new booys will
be purchased for the school, mostly
for the younger children. This will be
done in “Book Week,’’ which is com
ing soon.
It is rumored that a couple of
teachers, howeward bound one even
ing, found a porcupine near their
gate. Seeing the quills pointed back
ward they stepped in front of the por
cupine so that he would not be able
to throw his quills at them.
On Hallowe’en all of the different
rooms gave short Hallowe’en programs
which ended with feasting on candies
and other sweets. The pupils of Miss
Dahl’s room sent some of their candy
and sweets to Roberta McIntosh, who
had the misfortune to break her arm
by falling off one of the swings. The
school extends sympathy to Roberta.
Overheard in the Hall
First Sixth Grader—What is the ex
terior whazmingus?
Second Sixth Grader—I don’t know,
why?
First S. G.—I just heard Mr. Good
skey tell one of the boys that if he
wasn’t good he’d fix him so that he
wouldn’t be able to sit on his exterior
rear whazmingus.
The High School Hallowe’en pro
gram was an enjoyable affair while it
lasted. Mr. Goodskey introduced a
very interesting stunt. Everybody was
first given a piece of paper. On this
he was to draw any kind of a head,
then fold the paper so that the only
part showing was where the neck
should be. The person then passed it
on to another person. This person
drew the neck and in turn passed it
on, folding it so that only the lines
were shown where the body was to be
gin. This was continued until the
drawing had a body, legs and feet.
Then everybody wrote a line of verse,
folding the paper so that only the last
word showed. They then passed it on.
the next person writing a line ot
verse to rhyme with the last word ol
the preceding line. Four lines were
written. The papers were then giv
en back to the original owners. You
can imagine what funny pictures were
drawn and what funny verse was
written. The time passed all toe
quick.
