ONLY OLD TARGETS LEFT | The Governor left his Presidential acceptance speech a bit indefinite. | The result was that the Colonel,| when came his turn, could only pour | his fire at New Deal targets already set up. He could not take from| Landon the task of filling in the details omitted at Topeka. { He varied from custom, as he| in one essential, by giving a f biography of himself. | Mr. Knox's success in the pub- lishing business has prompted his' supporters to describe him as a foreceful type, as exemplified likewise in his single-handed campaign for himself prior to the Republican con- vention. | But if he is elected, experience forecasts for him another job of second-fiddling to the Senate, a po- sition forced upon another Chica- goan, Charles G.

Did you know, that if you missed out planting perennials this spring, you can do it NOW? In fact, for PEONIES and ORIENTAL POPPIES, fall is the best time. And don't forget we have some NEW COLORS in ORIENTAL POPPIES. Also a fine time to trans- plant that very early CASHMERE PRIMROSE—the one that makes those bluish-lavendar balls of flowers so early in the spring. Most ‘perennials can be moved now. It would be a good time, with the memory of your garden as it looked this year fresh in your mind, to do the re-arranging you could see was needed. Drop in or call us up for further information.

You Work Hard for Your PAY— Use it Wisely—Save Your CREDIT! There's no denying the fact that money does not come easy. You work hard, long hours for it. You build pictures in your mind of how it is going to make things easier —and you plan to do just certain things with it, BUT——— It doesn’t always turn out that way. Does It? Isn't it a fact that unless you do just certain things, pay just certain bills, you find yourself short before you know it? And that there are nearly al- ways bills that you've neglected until too late? It happens a lot of times to o lot of people. That's why we have established our POOLED ACCOUNT PLAN whereby you list all your debts, turn them over to us so that we can make arrangements to PRO RATE payments to them accord- ing to the size and needs of your pocketbook. Of course you keep out enough for current expenses so that the debts don't grow — in fact, they shrink faster than you realize. And it isn't long before you find that you've used your pay more wise- ly than the average man. Alaska Credit Bureau Charles Waynor, Manager First National Bank Bldg.
