"OLD GLORY"
".America For Americans'*
Notwithstanding the fact that all
tlio magazines and new supers
throughoue tlie world have made ap
peal after appeal for help to raise
fund? with which, to buy food and
6uuplit8 for poor war torn and
down trodden Belgium, more is
needed. Never, perhaps in the his
tory of the world have such huge
sums of mouey been donated for
chaiity in a same length of time,
but it has not been enough. The
ueople pf Belgium are starving,
'lhey are suffering for want of
♦•very necessity of life. They are
desti'ute.. The £atherg and broth
ers and husbands have been taken
away from their labors, and the
■country is devastated. It is as
though wind, and water and fire
have swept over it, leaving nothing
'at ru*» and starvation. It is the
children that appeal to us. The ltt
Me helpless waifs, without home
or guardian parent. They are out
casts ' ii a cru§l war torn world.
Tonigk', the children of Skagyay
are to do their mjte towards ale
>iatin< the sufferings of the little
ones away across the sea. It may
net b ea. great amount of money
these children will raise, but what
ever the amount is, however small
i* may be, it will be sufficient to
keep some one t*4>y or perhaps a
jcor<j of babies from suffering th.e
pan/s of hunger for a few short
days.
it is the spirit of effort of the
children that we should recognize.
AVe should aid them with our mite
a their entertainment tonight, and
encourage them in their humani
tarian work. Just remember that
i* is ?n unselfish move on their
oar' They need a library at
their school. They need additional
paraphernalia for theih manual
'raining nd domestic science studies,
but 'at3t< have all been forgotten In
their desire to give to the little
cnes who are suffering for want of
a crua* oX bread ,
Coma on out tonight.. Crowd the
l'ttl hall so that the sign "stand
ing room ouly" may be posted, and
when, the little tots sing the clos
ing sOi»0-, "13 There Any Better
Coui.try Than The U. S. A." let
them know that this 'better coun
trV is neopled by generous hearted
ftiil sympathetic men and women.
You may be thinking of various
and sundry things thia day, but
there are some little girls aosd
boys who are so wrapped up In
lb" good work they are to do this
ni^bt lhat all the world is bright
a a-' cheery. The sun is shining a,
litUe brighter, and the air is just?
a little more exhilarating to these
l;ttle folk today because they are
going to raise some money tonight
bv their very own efforts which wiH
be sent away off to Belgium where
!• will be used to buy food for
*]»• starving babies and children of
tha* -ar off land. They; have ar
ranged a program which is to bo fit
ted in around a carefully, selected
motion picture dhow tonight Rfc the
Popular Picture Palace, and the
net receipts of the bo* office is
theirs to send to the Hoover Fund
for 'He Belgium Children's Relief
The hixn cost of living will enter
into the program thla evening, as
the Biira will be 25 cents for each
and every kiddle, and the Grown
Ups will be charged 50 cents. All
passe* void for tonight.
SPRING TIME AMD
CITY ELECTION' SYN
O.N V MO US IN 8KAGWAY
The municipal election, in. Skag
way is a good deal like spring. It
just slips around at a stated time,
and we take it lor granted. Spring
comes on quietly, and as th$ buds
break ion A and the balmy days
dawn upon us we taka on, new life
and are content, Wi.au the names
o' Hie candidates whe would gov
ern our civic affairs are announced
we accept theju as beiag good, and
vot- tliesa men into officu confident
la our knowledge that they will ad
minister the affairs of our city in a
business like, economical and digni
fied maimer. ,
Councilman, Hardy, Alex Blanche
ard and James Kennedy, elected last
awing, will be bold overs in the
city council for the coming year.
Messrs.. Selmer, Batson, and Bunt
'ni have served their on« year
term as councilman for which they
were elected. It la understood,
however, that two of them will
asrain be nominated .
Mayor Howard Ashley has served
his term, and a mayor will be elect
e-* this spring to. I'll this position.
Aa Mr. Ashley has Hilled the po
sition in a painstaking manner, it
is hoped that ha may be prevailed
upon to again make the run for
Mayor of Skagway .
It is highly probably that gome
of Skagway's prominent women will
he nominated to make the run for
the vacancy of school clerk.
Tonight there will be a mass
meeting oX the Citizen's party for
the purpose of selecting the men
who are to make the race and as
there has been no call from any othe
nominating convention, ft is quite
probable that there will be no op
position.
Uuder the new law the municipal
polic magistrate and town treas
urer Is elected by the voters, and as
'he present incumbent, Phil Abra
name has filled the dual office
wi»h satisfaction, it is to be hop
ed tbar there will b© no opposition
tc his candidacy, and that he may
bo retained in this responsible po
sition...
The position of town clerk will
also he filled by choice of the
people and as J->an McKay positive
ly declines to again, be a cndidate,
and as the office requires a man who
is familiar with clerical work, it
is to he hoped that a wise selection
<s made in the naming cf a
nominee.
MONUMENT FOR BUFFALO
BILL IS NOW ASSURED
Denver, Colo., Mar. 30—High up
Co Lookout Mountain, near here,
overlooking the four states which
witnessed his greatest activity, a
monument to Colonel William F.
Cody—Buffalo Bill—now seems as
sured, according to announcement U
the Cody Memorial Association.
The association gays that several
other organizations a trendy have uc
dertaken the collection of funds for
thp monument..
The ?Pot qn the mountain top
wher* *he famous plainsman is to
find his l^st resting place has al
ready been approved by; the family.
This approval has stimulated the
coordina'ion of all efforts to ob
tain a sufficient fund to construct
a monument worthy; of the scout
who helped to open up the vast
territory west of the Mississippi riv
er.
The formal burial ceremonies will
♦ake ulace on next Memorial Day,
when the body will he borne from
hern to the rockrhewn tomb on top
of »n<? mountain. It will be burled
with the full ritualistic service by
the Knights TexnplaT.
The proposed monument, accord
ing to tentative plans, is to be cut
on* o* solid granite hewn from the
formatia on Lookout mountain. It
is to conform to the Dainting of
tfce la'e scout by the artist Pauua
clni. This shows Colonel Cody on
the beloved white charger, scanning
the horizon, the hand uplifted, the
bodv slightly bent forward.
II Is proposed to place the monu
ment so that the figure seems to be
lacking out ovgr the vast stretches
of plains into the four states of
Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and
Kansas which witnessed most if not
all cf Buffalo Bill's exploits. On
a cear day; spcetatora are able to
reccsulzo objects In alt four states.
RESURRECTION
Uriev« uot, dear heart, the buried
hope
You think lies dead, hut sileut
sleeps
Upon a distant sunlight slope,
Where constant guard an angel
keeps!
List now! Once more the liquid
notes
Of silvery song in field and
wood
From all the little feather throats
Proclaim anew, "To live is good! '
Eor all that's good shall live again,-*
Somewhere a hidden calyx holds
Eacn tiny bud of hope and then
Some>.ime with promise it unfolds.
Yes! immortality is only this—
A touch Divine; a whispered
breath.
Like that of springtime's gentle
kiss.
And life Eternal is the bloom of
death!
—Sophie E. Red ford.
—Kansas City Star.
