CORDOVA COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE
During the past week there arrived from Cordova
a copy of a community calendar published by the Cor
dova Times, in the first place' the calendar is a work
of art, and in the second place it is one of the most prac
tical calendars it has been our pleasure to have seen; and
thirdly, from the standpoint of economics, has served
to retain at Cordova—and Alaska—a sum which is ap
prximated at $3,000.
The calendar was made possible by Cordova firms
subscribing to advertising space for each and every
one of the 12 months. An exceedingly artistic Alaska
picture, in colors, appears on each leaf—all different—
the last page being given over entirely to an interesting
and concise summary of important facts about Cordova
and Alaska in general.
The Cordova Community Calendar is a beauty and
the citizens of Cordova, as well as the Cordova Times,
are to be congratulated for their enterprise. This evi
dence of cooperative spirit is what will develop Alaska.
Life, as few recognize it: First comes Lachesis, the
goddess of destiny who spins the thread of life. Next
comes Clotho, the second goddess of destiny who holds
the distaff in spinning the thread; and the third god
dess, Atropos, wdio cuts the thread of life when a man
is to die.
Mining is an industry that creates wealth. It takes
the useless ores from the ground and transforms them
into social and industrial necessities and luxuries.
German chain stores may dispense beer at twm and
one-half cents a glass but many of the U. S. stores sell
the makings at a nominal cost.
Here’s one for the giants of intellect to explain to
a lot of us: If this is the age _ of efficiency why is the
cost of living steadily advancing?
Abraham Lincoln declared prohibition “A species
of intemperance within itself” and “a blowT at the very
principles on which our government was founded.
