SURPRISE TO EGG EXPONENT
If Christopher Columbia could only
see us now:
It is merely the matter of a few' cen
turies ago that Old Chris landed her#.
Some time along about the fourteen
hundreds this nosey Italian dropped
anchor on what is now the American
coast. You never can tell; the old
boy might have hit this spot which is
now called Seward. Historians differ
on this subject but in any event it’s a
cinch that Eric “the Red” called on
the various Alaska ports during his
pleasure trip from the laud that has
given Alaska so many hardy citizens.
Returning to Old Chris—like Mark
Twain once said: “Isn’t it a shame j
that he cannot see his illustrious ‘Se I
ward’.”
Even oldtimers wdio have been away
from Sew'ard for any length of time j
all agree that the march of progress j
has steadily made headway since they
visited these climes. Seward is now
the coast terminus for a might rail
road system. Seward is also the lead
ing seaport in Alaska as well as in di
rect contact, through its natural loca
tion, with the tremendous westward
area which is just beginning to come
into its own.
Christopher would indeed be sur
prised!

FOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a oomplete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com
mitting you to any action.

again and secondly, owing to the sig
nal publicity thruout the entire world
Alaska is receiving from the proposed
Wilkins Arctic expedition and in which
Lieut. Eileson plays the prominent
part of having the honor of making
the main flight.
Lieut. EilesOn knows the Arctic, be
ing perfectly familiar with Alaskan
ing eprfectly familiar with Alaskan
temperatures in all of its many moods.
Landing fields mean nothing to the
‘Ace of the North,” as he was former
ly called, for it matters not whether a
landing field is available for, he has
alighted hundreds of times on the
sides and tops of mountains; on rough,
unlighted lowlands, and in the fiercest
northern weather.
As “Sandy” Smith, another pioneer
Alaskan, who passed thru Seward two
weeks ago at the head of the trans
portation fleet, expressed himself, “we
will bring home the bacon.” That
Lieut. Eileson will carry on from from
where Smith leaves off, at Barrow, is
a foregone conclusion long reached by
Alaskans when news was first receiv
ed that a “sourdough” liad been se
lected to pilot Commander Wilkins’
plane on the flight.
LIBERTY ENTERTAINMENT
The largest cast ever assembled
for a motion picture comedy appears
in Buster Keaton’s latest Metro-Gold
vvvn film, “The Navigator,” which is
at the Liberty Theater tonight. Most
of the picture was made aboard the
“Buford,” a 450-foot liner, which was
chartered for that purpose by the star.
In addition to the crewr of 110 men,
the “Buford” carried 500 actors and
artisans in the first-class section of
the ship, 300 in the second class, and
15.0 in the steerage. When Buster
sailed out to sea there were more than
1,100 persons on the vessel.
“The Navigator” was concocted by
Buster’s famous “gag” men, Jean Ha
vez, Clyde Bruckman and Joseph Mit
chell; it wTas directed by Donald Crisp
and the star himself. Kathryn Mc
Guire appears in the leading feminine
role. The production is presented by
Joseph M. Schenck.
