Save The Nest Egg
The Dexter, Has., Dispatch says:
"Under our present economic system
thousands of young men in the United
States dare not. marry, fearing starva
tion owiug to the wages received." The
Americus, Kas., Greetiug says wages
have become so high in Kansas thut
most farmers are buying more improv
ed machiuery and are doing their work
themselves instead of trying to hire
hauds by the month, where a few years !
ago every farmer that amounted to j
much had a hired hand. The same f
keek the Missouri Trades Uuio'jist
said: "A savings account is a most
helpful asset, and one thnt can be re- ;
lied upou in time of need. It begets
ecouomy and brings to the possessor
eourage to face and confidence in the
future. The amount is not so impor
tant as is the fact that you are enrolled
amoug the army of thrifty people who
have a thought of making provision
for a rainy day." The man who inspires
people to save something out of every
dollar earned will do more for the
prosperity of the couutry thau the
man who can raise the wages. A writer
in the Kansas City Star struck the key
note when he said many people started
out eating porterhouse steak aud
wound up on "chuck." He said it was
better to eat "chuck" when youug,
wheu the appetite is koen and teeth
are good, then you will get your porter
house when old. E. VV. Howe says:
"There are too many people in the
world who use their nest eggs to made
cake' of.*' The day laborer probably
never will get the wages ho should re
ceive, but the high wages without the
practice of saving and judicious invest
ment, would never alleviate the woes
of poverty when the "rainy day"
comes.
In Memoriam
Whereas, it has pleased the Su
preme Ruler of the universe to cut
down in the prime of life and remove
from our midst Brother Carl Johnson,
who passed from among us on the 26th
day of April, 1908.
Whereas, Brother Johnson by his
life and conduct proved himself a true
Odd Fellow; always ready to respond
to the cry of distress; a good citizen;
a man true and just in all his dealings;
whose memory will always be cherished
with feelings of love and tenderness by
the members of this lodge; therefore
be it ,
Resolved, that in the death of
Brother Johnson we sincerely regret
and mourn the loss of oar brother and
be it further
Resolved, that we extend to the
sorrowing widow of our departed
brother our heartfelt sympathy in her
sad hour of bereavemeut and commend
fier to the Diviue consolation of God
whom we, as Odd Fellows, believe and
trust.
Resolved, that these expressions of
our sympathy be sent to the widow of
our deceased brother that our charter
be draped for thirty days; that they be
entered iu the minutes of the lodge
end a copy sent to the Douglas Island
News for publication.

We wish to call the attention of t ho f
city couucil to the fact that it is tinio I
for the annual clean-np order, which j
has been so regular in the past that the '
people hare learned to expect it and :
some postpone their cleaning until it 1
comes.
Delegate Cale has said he will not be ;
the condidate of either political party, ,
which means that he will bo a candi
date on the independent or labor ticket. (
Major Clum announces himself as an
independent candidate. That's two '
is'utit? Then with active candidates
from both the political parties to
divide up the ballots the next cam
paign bids fair to be a lively and inter
esting one. ? Skagway Alaskau.

Never Heard of Jake's Beer
For once the agent met his match: i
UA book a^ent at Auburn, says au
Indiaua paper, called at one of the
mauy saloon*. The proprietor's wife, a
big German frou, came out with bare
arms akimbo to meet him. "Good
morning, madam," he began, "I would
like to call your attention to this
Shakespeare." "Jake's beer? Vot
kind of beer is dot? 1 never heard of
dot brewery before." "Madam, this is
Shakespearo." "I have heard ofSchlitz
beer and Budweiser, and oders, but 1
never heard yet of dot's Jake's beer.
Vot is dot?" "You are laboring under
a mistake my dear woman, this is a
book." "Yah, dot is all light, but I
have bock beer, too."
Imitation Gold Made From
Copper.
Manufactured gold i3 metallurgy's
latest feat. It is composed of 073 parts
of copper, 2 parts of gold, and 20 parts
of aluminum. The first step in its
production is the melting of the copper
aud the gold in a melting pot of lire
clay or some other fire propf material
The mixture is kept in a molten con
dition about half an hour, after which
50 parts of borax are added as flux.
The mass theu cau be poured out into
bars. This allo^ can be wrought into
plate or wire, thus allowing of tbo
manufacture of manifold varities of
ornaments and trinkets. The tint can .
I be altered to suit by changing the pro- 1
portion of the three metals. To pro
duce red, less gold and le98 aluminum
j are needed. For yellow, a little less
gold; for green, less gold and more
alu miuum. The new gold is extremely
ductile, malleable and, when polished,
; brilliant. It therefore not only re
sembles gold in appearance, but has the
enduring qualities of gold. It is not a
gold plated article, but a solid imita
! tion, which requires no plating. There
is no danger that it will lose its attrac
tiveness by having the thin coat wear
off, but its composition must be good
or it ia of no value, whatever. The
mixture of copper, gold and alumiunm
is cheap, and therefore enables the
making of ornaments and jewelry at
m uch lower prices than double-plated
' articles. Although there is at least a
| small quantity of genuine gold in this
composition, there are alloys made en
tirely of base metals. There is one
: consisting of 100 parts of zinc and 8 to
? 15 parts of sulphur strontium, to which
as much copper is added as is needed
: to produce the desired tinge.
Skagway is to have a new wireless
station and the antennae is to swing
: from the top of the cupola over a beer
saloon. There is no reason to doubt
' the attraction.
School Notes
The storm windows have been taken
off the High school room and the blinds
have been put up. Who said "sum
