FOOD WINS THE WAR j
DON'T WASTE IT
WHERE SHOULD WE FIGHT?
By Ferber Quick, United States
Farm I.aan Commissioner.
Where should we so to trial in a
c^sii in which our must sacred in
terests are at staid? In one place
only. We should appear in the couri
where the great issue is on trial.
The welfare ot the whole world is
ou trial in France today, Germany
has 50: out to make herself mistrest
o' the world, just as Napoleon did
iu his day. Germany must be
fought where there i? a chance oi
defeating her, just us Napoleon, had
to b3 fought a .hundred years ago.
When the nations gathered at Leip
sio to give him his first defeat, 'hat
wa? th» proper place to fight Xa
poifrcu. When they came togethei
again to give him his final over
throw at Waterloo .that was the
ex.i(.t place to meet th« great Corsi
caa.
It wis a homo light lor even
tiation arrayed in amis against him
If ai'v one of them had said, "We
wil! wait until Napoleon comes tc
our gates or our shores; when he
comes we will fight him: until then
it is DQt our fight," that nation
woul"* hav» been contributing: to the
enslavement of the world by Napol
eon, and sooner or later he would
*havs appeared ut their gates, and
nrt even the gates of hell could
h.ive prevailed against him.
Germany must be fought where
her armies are found..
?he must not win a foot of ter
ritroy in this war.
If she does she will be able to
point to the war as a victory, and
the German people will believe her
After the war there is only one
hope for the future of the world.
That hope lies in the German peo
ple. In a defeated Germany, the
people will sooner or later unseat
the Hohenzollerns and the Junkers
and take from the hands of that
insufferable crew of egomaniacs
and murderers the swortlj with which
they threaten the whole world. A
victorious Hohenzollern dynasty
will hold the German people in
thp thraldom of the triumphs they
will claim to have won. The Ger
man people are 6leep-waikers rav
aging the world und<r the hypnotic
suggestion of the mightiest mes
merist that ever made subject the
human mind. They are mad with
mob psychology—homicidal mani^
The French under Napoleon needed
defeat, ard received it. Otherwise
they would have blighted the whole
#»srth.. Ihe Germans -need defeat,
they must get it, otherwise
they will press down on the brow
of humanity the crown of thorns
mare agonizing than that of Attila
the Hun. I 'I ' *' '* TWV)
Germany must be defeated now
lu France, and not after she ap
pears at our doors swollen with, the I
pride of victory and with our pres- 1
ent allies flogged into her ranks aa
her allies. J
Tne great cause Is on trial now. j
At any otner time it will be too
[late. The place is France. Ger
many is reeling down to defeat. If
we add the might of our blows to
those of our allies she will fail. Un
less she falls we meet her next, aig
we may have to meet ber alone.
The man who argues that we
should await her coming to our
sncres *o attack us has not thought
about It, or, if he has thought
about it, ne either is a fool or be
wishes Germany to win. Let us
cease listening to the unthinking,
to fools, and to traitors. Let ua
fight this out in France alongside
our allies. i ' 1 I

A recent issue of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer says:
Reorganization on the basia of
apportioning funds lor operation,
for one year only, and
the expression of opinion
that all activities should
immediately cease, if the govern
ment takes any measures to curtail
tourist traffic or transportation fa
cilities were the features of the
meeting of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association at a meeting at
the headquarters of the executive
secretary of the organization in
the L. C. Smith building Saturday.
1 his action was taken in recogni
tion of the fact that no other tour
ist nromoting agencies have wholly
discontinued, aand that if the
Northwest we're to do so it might
leave the district at a distinct dis
adTantage.
To Limit Expenditures
The organization las funds to
the extent of ?U2,500 which have
bt^u uppropirated by the legisla
tures of Oregon, Washington and
the parliament of British Columbia
1'\>r the promotion cf tourist interest
in this district and the apportion
ment for the coming operations ol
the trganization will be limited to
ene-haif this amount to cover a
v-eriod of one year. The princi
pal methods of instigating this pro
motion, decided at the Saturday
meeting, will be advertising in
tae leading periodicals of the coun
try. including magazines and news
papers, and the distribution among
interested parties of literature de
scribing the scenic features of the
Northwest. A plea that industrial
possibilities of the district be in
cluded was made by Mayor R. H.
Oale. of Vancouver Signboards
and car signs will also be employed
by the association to a more limited
extent.
Work Strongly Indorsed
Reports of the indorsement ot"
the work of the organzation were
re»d at the meeting.. Among them
are the editorial support of Les
lie's magazine and the promise of
that of the Literary Digest. Mem
bers of the delegations from Oregon
and British Columbia declared that
civic organizations and popular opii>
ion in these sections are behind the
organization. .
BANQUET AT SCHOOL
FOR MR. HENDERSON
The teachers of the Ketchikan.
Public School gave a most delight
ful banquet last evening in the
Domestic Science ROom, Inspector
Letter D." Henderson being the
guest of honor..
Tte elaborate four course dinner
served by two high school girls, Hel
en Snowe and Helen Wick, was pre
pare-" by Mrs. Knox and Miss Mary
MintUorn teacher of Domestic Sci
ence and proved quite delicious
and recherche. Professor Knox,
Mr. Roper and Inspector Hender
son gave appropriate toasts, and In
spector Henderson gave a most in
teresting account of his trip thru
cut the territory.
The new table linen and silver
ware donated by the members of
the Utopia club to the Domestic
Science Department were used for
the first time at the dininer.
Tcday, in honor of 3Ir. Hender
son's visit the children have been
given a half holiday, the children
being escorted in a body to Fawn
Lake for the skating, whicb is re

In India elephants are u.>*3 In many
ways lu the army, especially In mov
ing artillery. Of their work In this line
a British writer says:
"When a gun comcs to grief the ele
phant marches up with the Important
air of an experienced engineer and de
liberately lnspscts the state of atTalrs.
Thrusting his trunk around the spoke
of a wheel, he gives It a lift as If to
ascertain the depth aud tenacity of the
mud and then quietly >vaiks around
and does the same by the other wheel,
dropping it aguin with a funny twin
kle of the eye as If l:e said to himself.
'All right; 1 can start her, I think.'
"Then he deliberates for a few min
utes. gives a slight push hero and a
slight push there, when, having at last
made up his mind us to the best mode
of procedure, he probubiy applies his
forehead—which has been padded for
the purpose—to the muzzle of the gun
and, uttering a shrill, trumpet-llkv
sound as a signal for the gun bullocks
to pull together, pushes against it with
all his weight, while the bullocks obey
the signal and pull away too.
"Tbls generally starts the gun. But
If the bullocks are sulky and refuse to
obey the signal the elephant gets per
fectly furious and rushes at them,
brandishing his trunk with such fero
city as usually compels obedience."
How Roots Penetrats Hard Ground.
The extreme tips of u delicate root
•re protected by a shoath set with
minute scales, which as It Is vrom
away by friction against the soil la as
constantly replaced, so that It acts as a
wedge and the root thread is carried
down uninjured. Another aid to pene
tration lies In the provision whereby
the root as It pushes downward in
search of nourishment exercises a
slightly spiral, screwlike motion which
worms Its tip Into the ground. Another
Important agent is tba uclit cell sap,
which exudes on to aiul dissolves to
some extent the rock or hard soil. Th'.s
may be tested by placing a small piece
of polished marble In a |»ct In which a
plant Is set and covering It with earth.
After some weeks the marble will be
found to have been corroded by the
continuous action of this acid
Rambler noses. ,
One of the loved roses of summer is
the rambler rose, which rambles about
scattering its joyous self among hun
dreds of people In addition to those
who grow it. Clambering over houses,
both of rich and poor, it gladdens the
eye of the tourist, and hi great arm
loads it wauders from its home vine to
the rose loving, but not rose possess
ing: to the sick, to the weary, to the
tired business folk, to whom It brings
a bit of relaxation. The rambling rose
of June, which rambles all over to the
Joy of every one—here's to the Insect

His Fidelity.
Upon the recent death of a politician
who at one time served his country In
a very high legislative place a num
ber of newspaper men were collaborat
ing in an obituary notice.
"What shall we say of the former
senator?" asked one of the men.
"Oh, just put down that he wus al
ways faithful to his trust."
"And," queried a cynical member oi
the group, "shall we mention the nam?
of the trust?"—Puck.
It Does Happen.
"I don't think the truth of tbut Cin
derella story ever came out"
"No?"
"I think she took off her slipper be
cause it hurt her. I've seen ladles di
that in restaurants many a time."

Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Wm. A. Quayle .prop., electric
motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St.,
3an Francisco, Calif., says: "I was
troubled with my kidneys for about
two months. The kidney secretions
were profuse and highly colored
and I bad to get up Iout or five
times at night to pass them. I
worked iu a lead mine a number of
y"ars ago and I think that was the
cause of my trouble. I became wor
ried and went to a drug store and
asked for the best kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re
moved the trouble with my kidneys
and I have had no sign of it since."
OVER A YEAR LATER Mr.
Quayle said: "Never in my life
have I enjoyed such good health a9
I am now having. I give Doans'
Kidney Pills all the credit tor they
rid me of kidney trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers.. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge* Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mt. Quayle had. Foster-Mil

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
j by local applications, os they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
I only one way to cure catarrhal ieafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
[ Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. Wi.en this tube Is
lMlamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tub«*
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
