There seems to be a flaw somewhere
Seattle Pi-I.—"Alaska boys in
Prance, in the army cantonments
and in the uavy are the most effect
Ire press agents the North has ever
known," states J. L. McPherson,
manager of the Alaska bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial Club. "A few days
ago we received a letter from an
Alaskan lieutenant of engineers who
Is in Prance stating that he had
been boosting Alaska to a bunch at
mess, and that he ha# told them of
the Haines, Alaska, strawberries,
eight of which would fill a quart
measure, and celery that grew six
feet tall. We advised him that he
was absolutely correct in his state
ment concerning the strawberries,
but that he hal prboably confused
celery with rhubarb, which hag a
most luxurious growth in the Skag
*s; section, where it attains a
height of from four to six feet.
" 'I want a homestead where I
can do a litle hunting, fishing and
trapping, is typical of the requests
for information on Alaska received
from the boys in France, showing
that their life in the open has in
stilled in them a desire to become
ploaeers. to lea# a life of adventure
From the training camps through
out the states, from Honolulu, from
th$ high seas and from France the
mea in the service are writing for
Information on Alaska.
M "What pre the farming and niin
lag, homesteading, ijjshing and trap
ping and general opportunities In
tba Northland?' are the questions
representing a majority of the in
quiries. Numbers of men state their
Intention o' settling in Alaska when
tnev return from the war, and desir
general information. Some of them
make inquiries as to business, con
ditions and homesteading opportuni
ties. On® asked' for information on
coa! lands, their location, the lease
laws, etc., while a Jackie briefly re
quests 'ail standing iuformation.'_
'Xot only is Alaska bL'ing thought
atout by th» men in the service,"
added Mr. McPherson, "but it is be
inj earnestly talked about and de
bated, and we find that many of the
inquiries received are for the bene
fit of a number of men, the writer
only acting as spokesman.
"One of Alaska's sons, wviti
a Seattle friend', Etatd that w!'ile
at Bordeaux he attended an illus
trated lecture 011 Alaska. 'The slides
wer<> furnished by your Alaska bu
reau,' he said, 'and they were very
good. They were all the more in
teresting to me because many of the
scenes were familiar. As tlie fa
miliar towns were shown, 1 thought
of our jolly bunch comnig down
on the good old sea-tub Xortliwest
| ern. The flowers at Skagway were
just as we saw them."
I "Alaska has furnished a fir great
er ner cent cj her man power to the
iwat than any other section of our
'land, and as a result she is feeling
I more seriously th»> eff ct of the
I drain in all her industrial and de
velopment life. But it is certain
'that with the final settlement or
'peace the Alaska boys will all re
turn to the N'orthlaand d will tak
with them scores of comrades to
whom they have to'# t:<.. wonders
of the land 'un there." These
wonders of the land 'up there.' The*
men will furnish the es-eMi^l man-1
hood for the deve'opir e't of A'asVa's

HE WAS GLAD.
An aching tooth is not the best
friend in the world, and this fact was
demonstrated by a country Justice of
the peace when, suffering with the
trouble, he was called upon to unite a
rural couple in marriage.
The justice's irritability was not les
sened any when the prospective hus
band informed him that he would not
be expected in this case to kiss the
bride.
"Tharik you," snapped the Justice.
"Under those circumstances I shall
chargfe yuu only one-half the usual
fee."

Luck.
"Do you believe In luck?"
MOi' course, I do," replied Senator
Sorghum. "And I have a great respect
for It. The only trouble about luck Is
the way soijie people use It for a cam
ouflage when they're dealing off the
bottom of the deck."

The Difference.
"What's the difference between a
' drama and a melodrama?"
I "In a drama the heroine merely
throws the villain over. In a melo
I drama she throws him over a cliff."
Not Like Treating Like.
"These twins cannot be treated
homeopathically."
x "Why not?"
"Because they are not a pair of kids
who can be handled with gloves."
Disguised.
"They tell me your daughter sings
with great expression."
"Greatest expression you ever saw.
Even her own mother cannot recognize
her face when she is singing."
Method in Hie Action.
"Bligglns is always asking me for
advice."«
"Yes. He wants to make you listen
to his troubles Instead his having
to listen to yours."
"Well, how about It?
"Her father and mother both object
ro me."
" "Hard luck."
"Hard luck for fair. It's the first
thing they've agreed on In years."
Rare Bird.
An aeroplane goes whizzing past.
And mighty bombs from it are cast.
A strunger bird has ne'er drawn nigh.
It lays its eggs while on the tly.
One Exception.
"There's a lot of gossip In this
house. Even the walls have ears."
"Well, hardly the part around the
drtmli waiter."
HIS FATHER'S SWORD.
The village concert was in progress
and, although all the local talent was
mastered, little Johnny, the squire's
son and heir, was bored, badly bored.
His mother grew quite anxious about
him, but when a small girl started pip
ing "The Minstrel Boy" and reached
the line: "His father's sword he has
girded on," Johnny fairly pricked up
his ears in excsltement.
"You like this, Johnny?" said his
fond mother. "It is—"
"Be quiet, mother, do," said Johnny
in.patlently. 'I want to hear what hap
pens when his father gets to know J"
An Editor's Error.
Jane Willis—So Madge broke off her
engagement to that magazine editor.
What was the trouble?
Marie Gills—She sent him some love
letters and he returned them with a re
jection slip stating that while he was
always glad to see such things and
they undoubtedly possessed merit, he
was greatly overstocked with other
contributions of a similar nature.—
Town Topics.
Home Still Safe.
"Drink and tobhcco have wrecked
homes."
"They haven't wrecked mine," pro
tested Mr. Meekton, indignantly.
"Are you addicted to drink and to
bacco?"
"No, I'm not. But my wife is very
fond of tea and cigarettes."
IT DEPENDS.
"Should a man go to college after
fifty?"
"Well, he might pass muster at ten
nis, but a man can't expect^o do much
in baseball or football at that age."
Forceful Reminder.
Tour troubles—never let 'em
Disturb your mental ease.
But how can you forget 'em
When the grip germ makes you sneeze?

you^that dandruff is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and Its conse
quent falling and baldness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there Is uo
other preparation' that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herplclde. "Destroy
