FORGET-ME-NOT ALASKA’S
EMBLEM
Following Bill Parsed Unanimously
Verse by Mrs. Darling
For an act entitled: “An act desig
nating and declaring the Forget- Me
Not to be the Territorial and Floral
emblem of Alaska.”
Whereas, throughout her more than
one-half million square miles of terri
tory, stretching from the Pacific to
the Arctic ocean and from Canada’s
border to Bering Sea, Alaska has a
wild flower which grows an every hill
and in every valley and:
Whereas, this flower is emblematic
of the quality of constancy ,the domi
nant trait of the intrepid pioneers,
who in spite of almost insurmount
able obstacles and insufferable hard- j
ships, have opened for development a
nation’s treasure house, and:
Whereas the Grand Igloo of the Pio-,
neers of Alaska have endoi’sed this
floral gem as the Territorial flower of
Alaska,
“So in thinking of an emblem
For this Empire of the North

We will choose this azure flower
That the golden days bring forth.
For we want men to remember
That Alaska came to stay
Tho she slept unknown for ages
And awakened in a day.
So although they say we’re living
In the land that God forgot,
We’ll recall Alaska to them
With our blue Forget-me-Not.
Therefore, be it enacted by the Leg
islature of the Territory of Alaska:
Section 1. That the wild native;
Forget.me-Not is hereby made, desig-1
nated and declared to be the Territor
ial flower and floral emblem of the
Territory of Alaska.
The above created considerable
mirth in the Metropolitan Press be
cause the bill was caused by a pie
poetry; however Alaska is not behind
the States in having her territorial
emblem.
PLAN YOUR GARDEN NOW
The time is closely approaching
when the first plowers of the spring
should be planted .Plan your gardens
now, fertilize the ground well, and as
soon as the chill apyears to have left
the ground ,plant your first flowers, j
Last year flower seed was sown in
Seward o nMay 8, and in 1922 the
first seed was sown May 20th. It is
hardly wise to plant befoi’e May 15 as
a cold wind or a short spell of bad !

Such was the ultimatum issued to

The new policy went into effect !j
when Isaac Perry, with several pre
vious intoxication convictions to his j
record, announced he could not re-' j
member a single place in which he had j
bought liquor. He was sentenced to: ~
60 days in jail, but a short term of im- ’

he divulged the source of his liquor t
