"OIjD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
CHAMP'S CHANT
C. Clark wants a new American
authem. H$ objects to "The Star
Spangled Banner" because it ,is so
bard to siag, and ha criticises "Am
erica" because its air is Uennan
in origin. He is too modest, we as
sume, to suggest "You gotta quit
fcickia' my ilawg aroun" "—a song
vvUick Champ tried vainly to bring
into national use about five ^years
ago. w . u
HAPPINESS
Happiness goes out from the
iieart before it comes in. It
.never by any chance stays at home,
You can harvest it for the common
good, but you cannot store it for
your [sole individual use. You can
lend it but you cannot borrow it,
you can earn it but you cannot buy
it, you can spend it but tyou can
not accumulate it. A man must
contribute to the stock of human
joys before he can participate in
iu profits. To seek happiness with
out giving it is a futile quest, ,and
all our longings for what we have
not learned to give to others [ are
us empty bottles in the wine cellar
of the soul. Happiness really never
was any good in this world but
to give away!—Ex.
THE "WHITE CROSS"
Congressman Jacob E. Meeker ofl
Missouri is doing -what bo can to I
contribute to the success of the as
sociation known as the "White
Cross." The organization has
been brought into existence by a
Dody of St. Louis yomen, and ha-j
for ifs object the education and care
of those ! soldiers who come back
from Europe crippled in such a wayi
that they are j unable to follow the
trade in.'which they were engaged be»
fj?re the war. Mr. [Meeker declares
that the oeople of England have
already subscribed over seven mil
lion pounds for a similar object in
that country, and believes that
the moral support of the Govern
ment should be given to the or
ganization in this country which is
taking up'the jvork for our own
soldiers. If it is not done by pub
lic subscription, as proposed, an
enormous expense will necessarily
devolve upon the Government in car
iug for its crijj£les at the xlose of
the war.
Every speech'that is made these
days bv the President and the mem
bers of his cibinef.[i8 a testimonial
to the foresight of those men, who,
with Col, Roosevelt, asserted when
the |Lusitania was sunk in May
1915, that the United States should
and must enter the war against
Germany, ___ £
Daily Points For
Citizen Soldiers
(Issued by the War Department
And all rijihts to reprint
KmeneO).
The three ;basic qualities, Loyal
ty, Ooedieuce and ^uyalcal Fitness,
were treated iu the preceding lea
sou. i '1 Uoiu Is another group of
three soldierly {qualities that are
especially needed during the periods
of training, marching and waiting
oetweeu combats. They are: [
intelligence.
Cleanliness,
Cheerfulness.
Although these qualities are As
sociated chiefly with camp 4 life, they
are, of course, scarcely less help-,
ful in all other phases of military
service.
XHKEE QUALITIES OF BATTLE
Finally, there are the three bat
tle qualities of the good'soldier:
Spirit,
Tenacity,
Self-reliance.
Unies* . a man has these three
qualities—sven. though he possess
es all the other sh^in good meas
ure—he is after all only a camp-fire
soldier.
MAKING YOl'ltSELF STHONGEK
The. nine qualities which have
just b'ta reviewed are those which
everyone of us would like to have
for himself. They are (the essen
tials of virile and successful man
hood, whether in the army or|out
of It. Even the moral weakling and
the slather in iheir hearts , ad
mire taese qualities.
Doubtless you have developed
some pf them already—perhaps jail
of them to a greater or less extent.
JJany a man hag discovered, |when
put to the test, that he possessed
these qualities without having him
self realized it. But under civiliza
tion conditions it is not easy to
cultivate all Otf them.
In tl • army j-qu will have your
opportunity in a few months of
training to strengthen these quali
ties in yourself. In. soloing you
will learn to control yourself, to
take care of yourself under all con
ditions, to meet hardship and dan
ger unflinchingly, to be fearless and
self-r<»ll&nt. At the end of these fe
months of training you will have
gained'immensely in vigor and in
strength.
AUTOMOBILE RACE
HELD IX FAIRBANKS
Before a crowd of approximately
2.00U people, the first automobile
Tace ever held tu Fairbanks was
pulled off recently at Exposition
park. Bobble Sheldon, the veteran
driver of the interior, nvho came
all the way from Chitna here for
the exrress purpose of competing
for 'he ?500 arize put up by the
execu'ivt committee of the Fourth
of July celebration, tok first mon
ey, winuing from Bob Scanlon, who
took lhe secnd prize, $150 in cash,
by seven seconds. Sheldon's time
for the race was a few seconds
over one hour and ten minutes.
His fastest lap was made jn fif
ty-two seconds. The slowest lap
made by any of the six entries to
the race was sixty-eight, seconds.
Joe Knos was in third place when
Sheldon and Scanlon finished, being
little more than two la?* behind
them. Next came the Gibeon oar,
a lap j behind Enos. The Parkin
car was fifth, eight laps behind the
winner, and the -Mete was last, nine
laps behin-d.
There was (no accident of any
kind to mar the pleasure of the oc
casion, and it is generally consid
ered 'o have been the gretaest event
oi the kind ever pulled off here.
Only at one time, on thqjlower end
of the track, was there imminent
danger of a smashup, and that was
when Sheldon, in jockeying for po
sition nearly ran into one of the
other cars. In fact, the race was
but a demonstration of what can
be dOLe, for the impossible, in the
minds of some critics, wa>s ac
complished when the race was com
pleted without somebody being kill
ed. (But it is now entirely probable
that automobile races will hereafter
be features in'every sporting occa
sion in Fairbanks.—Citizen.

HIES NOTES
A cablegram from Juneau by
Mrs. H. P. M. Blrkinbine to Mrs.
Jack Sheldon states jthat Mr.
Birkinbine underwent an (opera
tion Monday morning, and that It
.was [successful in every jvay. Mr.
Birkinbino Is fast recovering and
soon Mxoected to return.
George Underhill of Juneau en
listed yesterday la the Quartermast
ers dwrtment at Ft. ivm, H. Sew
ard. Mr. Underhill has lived la
Juneau Jfor the past year and is
known as one of the most export
gasoline jengineers in the north. He
ha« had several years experience in
automooile factories and jjvill un
doubtedly be assigned to the trans
portation business. He is known al
so jin Skagway where he has many
friends who wish him the best of
success as one of Undo Sam'a boys.
MIXING ACTIVITY
Mining activity in the Porcupine
district never was Known to j bring
so inany encouraging results as
this season is doing. This year all
the j operators have been more than
pleased and up to date more gold
has been,taken out with less eroenifl
and under systematic management
than »'iy time since thejearly days
when |the district was operated' by
so many companies and private in
dividuals and had a population of
several hundred miners and pros
pectors.
The Alaska Corporation is operat
ing the claims formerly owned by
the Porcupine Gold Mining Co., and
completed,their third and best clean
up of the season on the loth. This
clean-uojwas from a small pit and
the gold taken out was several
thousand dollars more than expect
ed. At so early a date in the sea
son with|two mouths more in which
to operate these claims it is safe to
say [ttja» mining operations With
three and possibly four more clean
ups, will yield more gold with less
expense than any year sinoe 1905.
Dr. Sewell sepoitg having spent ja
week on these creeks and talked
with tlie operators and <men in
charge | aud says thg work is going
on like a clock and that prospects
are that more than $100,000 will
be taken out by one company alone.
The (whole camp is much excited
over tJ>e reports of the bornite ore,
as mentioned in yesterday'B Alaakan.
it was iu>t expected that the tun
nel beiug sunk would <reach the
ledge until in late September or
October. The quantity and grade
of ore is far above all | expectations.
MINING MEN
C. ,L. Lampmoti, J. G. Ulovck, W.
S. Morriss and W. L,. Chisman, bus
iness and mining men of Vancouver
and Montreal went out Monday on
the stage for (Porcupine, Pleasant

mountain trout. They will also
lookjovar the mining resources of
the country.
