?' RESIDENTS ASKED
TO PARTICIPATE
IN DEFENSE DAY
i j -
PARKS ASKS TERRITORY TO
JOIN IN OBSERVANCE OF NA
TIONAL DEFENSE DAY.
—
Commander J. S. Bogart of the
| Seward post, American Legion, an
il nounces a tent will be erected on
> the property opposite the Van Gilder
hotel tomorrow for the purpose of
enrolling the citizens of Seward on
Defense Day, July 4. A legion mem
ber will be on duty in the tent. Ma
yor L. V. Ray, who has been appoint
ed general chairman for the Seward
, Defense Day exercises, by Governor
> George A. Parks, will deliver the ora
tion.
President Coolidge has designated
July 4th as Defense Day and the
War department, which is taking
active leadership in promoting it,
has requested public assistance and
| cooperation in making it a success.
Military cooperation has been assui
ed wherever army units are avail
able.
Purposes Are Given
In a letter just received by Mayor
L. V. Ray, from Gov. Parks, the ob
jects of the occasion are set forth
as follows:
“First, to encourage patriotic
demonstrations this emphasizing the
historic occasion when Congress
first pledged the resources of the
country for national defense, and
commemorating the sacrifice made
for national defense.
“Second, to familiarize the coun
try at large with the defensive meas
ures that, would be employed and
direct to each citizen the part he
or she would have to play in the
general act -where the nation re
quired to exercise the right of self
defense.
"Third, to grant opportunity to of
ficers charged with national de
fense to check details, to make cor
rections in plans, to test the effic
acy of these plans.”
Alaska last year, made an excel
lent record for observance of the
first test. In his telegram to the
several Alaskan mayors, Gov. Parks
commented on that record and said,
“It is hoped that this years rec
ord will excel that of last year.
This is possible if every community
will take an active interest.”
All American Legion posts are
expected to take particular interest
in the observance of the day. Their
activity last year was a big factor
in local success, it was said.
The evolution trial in Tennessee
ought to develop several things, among
which we may predict the unknown
ability of Prof. Scopes as movie star.

Uninterrupted Service!
\ou can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You di got it
with Lambert “Trablpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ten,
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.

MEXICO INSISTS ITS RAILROADS
OPERATE MORE ECONOMICALLY
MEXICO CITY, June 30. (/p>—After
months of negotiations with the va
rious railwaymen’s brotherhoods over
wage scales and working conditions,
the department of communications
has fixed the annual budget of the
national lines at 78,000,000 pesos and
formulated plans to slash expenses,
cut salaries and reduce personnel
to bring the lines’ operating cost
down to that figure. The 1924 bud
get was approximately 105,000,000
pesos.
A reduction in freight rates is
scheduled as soon as the lines be
gin to show a profit.
Included in the current reorganiza
tion is the cancelation of more than
8,000 annual passes and a presiden
tial order against the giving of trip
passes which, in past years, have
reached staggering totals.
