PROTECTION /
PAINT'PROTECTION against depreciation—
jn-'t as necessary and wise as insurance' protec*
tion against fire!
And he 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.
Her^e, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cose. 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.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13. (£>)—

VALADE IS NEW
SECRETARY OF
FIREDEPTMENT
LEON URBACH RESIGNS LU
CRATIVE JOB; MADE AN
HONORARY MEMBER.
INNES NOW VOLUNTEER LADDIE
Department Unanimously Endorses
Lanning As Fire Chief and
Head Police Department.
D. E. Valade, was appointed to fill
the secretary’s position with the
Seward Volunteer Fire department
organization at last night’s special
meeting. Mr. Valade succeeds Leon
Urbach, resigned. Mr. Urbach, in
tendering his resignation said that
due to the additional store duties,
now resting upon his shoulders, and
being without sufficient help, believ
ing also that younger men should be
added to the force from time to time,
for the betterment of the department,
he had reached the decision to resign,
effective at once. “I shall always
have a warm spot in my heart for
the department and it has been a
pleasure to have been associated with
such a fine bunch of fellows,” he re
marked.
Jst to show their appreciation of
his past active eight or ten years’
work with the department, and that
the boys were not sore at him for
leaving, it was regularly moved, sec
onded and carried that Mr. Urbach
be made an honorary member of
the department. Chief Lanning in
cluded in his response to Mr. Ur
bach’s speech, that the members’
would always welcome him at the
bean feeds, for which fruit Mr. Ur
bach' has a decided failing.
Valade is just a new member of
the department, but was formerly an
active member of the Juneau de
partment. It has been stated what
he don’t know about fire fighting
wouldn’t fill your eye. During the
World war Valade kept books for
the Army so he should have little dif
ficulty taking care of the business
routine. 'Earl Mount who saves soles,
offered his assistance to Valade,
should he desire them. After break
ing three pencil points, the books
were turned over to Mr. Valade at
8:45 p. m., sharp.
A unanimous ballot was cast en- j
dorsing Martin Lanning as chief of '
the Seward fire and .police depart
ment and the secretary was instruct
ed, upon motion duly made and sec
onded, to draw up a letter addressed
to his Honor, the Mayor of Seward,
and the Common Council, informing
them of the department’s action, in
endorsing Chief Lanning.
Innes Nickeroff was selected to
membership, filling the vacancy cre
ated by the retirement of Mr. Ur
bach. Nickeroff, in a few words of
appreciation for his appointment, stat
ed he intends to give the boys a ban
quet in the very near future, that
many of the members appeared to
be underfed.
VIEW SHAFT CUT THROUGH
IN CALIFORNIA MINE
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. (£>)—An
intercommunicating shaft between the
Argonaus mine, where forty-seven
miners were trapped in a mine fire in
1922 and the Kennedy mine in Amador

mine to the other in case of fire or
explosion.

CONGRESS PROOF
PRICE FIXING
FOREIGN COMBINES REGULATE
OUTPUT AND PRICES OF RUB
BER, COFFEE, NITRATES AND
OTHER PRODUCTS.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13. (/P)—
The house committee began investi
gating of the price fixing of rubber
and other commodities by European
governments. Secretary of commerce
Hoover in opening the probe declared
the manipulation of prices by govern
ments as a menace to peaceful inter
I national relations.
The secretary charged that foreigi
combines regulated the output and th<
prices of rubber, coffee, nitrates, pot
ash and other products consumed b]
the United States and that the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Brazil and Chile as well as oth
er powers, are directly involved.
After the opening statement h<
asked for a secret session. This was
granted and he 'revealed to the com
mittee absolute refusal to heed the
American protests against monopoly
methods.
Sneaking for the Coolidge adminis
tration he depreciated retalitory meth
ods but said Congress must act and
that the chief recourse may be in the
growing of rubber in the Philippines
and other possessions.
