CLE AX-UP DAY
Now that spring has arrived and
is abou* to begin dressing up the
earth ill a new green frock, it "would
eeern only Tight to h^lp the work
along by a clean-up of front and
back yart's. „ _„c«' ■lwi
towu cleaning as house cleaning
Outdoors should now 1^3 made
attractive as indoors, in fact, more
*/. foT one will be outdoors the
n<»r» 'ew months more 'han indoors.
With merchants and property
owners co-operaMng, the refuse
fijpm winter would soon be cleared
away; and Skagwajy streets and
homes would be worr'hy of tSe
"summer capital" of Alaska.
Paint up and clean up. Plant
flowers and trees. The work done
and •'he money spent will not be
burdensome and thq investment will
return good dividents. There will
not only be enjoyment from pleasant
surroundings but, in view of the
S-Eproaching tourist season, clean
up week will be a good business
project,
If seme one of the local or
ganizations, devoted to the best
interes's of Skagway, would fix a
time for spring cleaning and or
ganize a movement to make it ef
fective, it is certain that ready
response would be given by every
citizen. } ' ■

I am giving both my boys to my

SOLDLEKS' INSURANCE
T^o suggestion, t&at tie federal I
government Insure the lives o£ the
soldiers called to the defense of
tha country has much Cq commen
it. It Is but a ste© beyond in
dustrial insurance designed to com
pensate workmen for injuries re
celvjsd in haaaaxioua occupations or
tbeir dependents In case of death,
and it is in keeping t?ith. the trend
ol modern thought. Aside from
tha wholesome effect it would have
on th$ soldiers themselves by re
lieving them of the anxiety for tbelr
loved ones at home, it looks like
a good business proposition for the
government.—Seattle P.-I.
USE LAWNS FOR "SPUDS"
In Vancouver and Victoria
wealthy residents are spading up
their lawns to plant potatoes and
cabbage and carrots and otter veg
etables. Housewives are planting
their flower beds with seeds that
will produce something to eat. Peo
ole in the United States *re being
urged to do the same thing. The
man or woman, who produces some
thing to eat or wear is the use

THE TREADWELL CALAMITY
Tho disaster at Treadwell is a
TerrlU rial calamity. The gloom
thai spread oyer the Gas tinea u
Cnauntl yesterday morning tells
its own story of the dependence for
the prosperity of this community
and &lask& upon, the efforts of
those who arei develofping the re
sources of the country.
Howtver, the announcement that
the owners ^4 managers have no
idea of abandoning the great Health
aociated Treadwell companies, and
tha' the properties will be worked
again, either through the °'d or a
new mine cause renewed hope and
courage.
The 'driving communities on
Douglas island will remain and they
will trow a ad prosper. The Tread
well oeorale who have done so much
for Alaskan development will con
tinue «o operate in this country,
and continue to desenre well at the
hands cf Gastineau Channel and all
Alaska.—Juneau Empire.
GERMAN"!' MUST LOSE
The United! States' declaration
of war does not now and will not
for months strengthen any one of
the allied lines. The flgh.t must be
continued by the partners who have
been la it from the beginning. They
will go on and win the war if they
are able and as fast as th.ey can.
But. *he/ know thai at the end of
'his year half a million United
Sta-es troops will be in Europe,
holding fiflt^J miles odj fine some
front. Thenceforward the United
dta'es will be a regular, contributor
of troops from month to month.
Coining In last and having almost
•nfpite resources, this should be
the last of all the beligerents to
be exhausted. [If ever there had
been a doubt of the ultimate defeat
Of Germany, the United Stales' ide
claration has removed that doubt.

old Indian that came Into his of

OUR FLAG
"p| ESOLVED, That the flag of
j/ the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the un
ion be thirteen stars, white In a
blue field, representing a new con
stellation." These words brought
the flag Into olflciai being—a res
olution of cougress, adopted In
Philadelphia on June 1-1, 1777.
Yet a whole year earlier there
had been a flag, the one sewed
by the devoted fingers of Betsy
Itoss, the young Philadelphia wo
man who had made It at the sug
gestion of a committee from con
gress, accompanied by General
Washington, from whose coat of
arms the design was borrowed.
The flag went into buttle for
the first time at Bramlywlne.
8ept 11, 1777, and on Feb. 14,
1778, received the first salute
from a foreign power when the
Ranger, commanded by John Paul
Jones, was saluted by the French
In Qulberon bay, France. At
length came Vermont und Ken
tucky Into the Uuion, and two
more stripes and two more stars
were added to our banner on
May 1, 171)5. So It continued for
twenty-three years, by which
time five more states had entered
the galaxy of commonwealths.
And then on April 4, ISIS, the
flag was Used at thirteeu stripes
again, but with twenty stars, one
to be added on July 4 for each
new state thereafter. And Illi
nois, admitted in December of
the same year, was the first to
set a new star In the blue fleld
where today are forty-eight
