"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
FADED FLAGS
Th© flags which, were displayed
on every patriot^ house and shop
when America entered the war a
hundrejd dajti ago are still flying.
3ouie have been whipped to tatters
by the winds of spring and summer,
but none have been hauled down. A
few have faded; the blue field no
longer suggests the spangled heav
ens, and the Wood-hue of the broad
stripes is (lull and watery. They
were not dyed in the wool and did
not stand the beating of the ele
ments.
Will patriotism fade like an ill
dyed flag? It will, if it is not of
the ingrained sort. If it began and
ended with the first hurrah, it is
already as pale as the most be
draggled ensign on the street. If
i' shrank from the first demand to
}>uy Liberty Bonds, closed it
•purse to the Re>d Cross appeal, it
is a iorry rag. If it has begun to>
grumble at the prospect of ten-fold
taxation to meet war expenditure,
aJid if it will give its sons or,
itself for any socrifice which the
country demands, what is there left
of the flag jvhich erstwhile so
proudly we hailed?
Now comes the Food Administra
tion, with suggestions which touch
tha' daily habits and diet of every
man, every woman, and all but the
babes and sucklings. The patriot,
last colors .o the l*st liber, will
loyally respond to the call for
wfeeatle&s and meatless days, for
economy and thrift. But the person
whose patriotism was ephemeral
will reveal hu fading colors by per
sisting in the old indulgences, the
old wastefulness. He would better
haul down his false and faded banr
ner and run tip the enemy's flag.
That is the tide he is fighting on.—

Daily Points For
Citizen Soldiers

TEAMWORK IN THE ARMY 1
If the course were to atop just
at tliis point, it might leave iu
your mind a false impression. For
after an, the soldier is not an in
dividual player in the great game
of war; he is valuable chiefly as
a member of a team. It ia a team
of enormous size. It is organized
in rather a complicated way. This
team we call the Army ,
la a factory or store or office—
•wherever largo numbers of people
are working together—there is al
most always some one in direct
charge of each group of workers.
This person may be called a fore
man in the shop, a chief clerk ia
an office, a floor walker in a de
partment store, or by any one of a
number of other titles; in the Army
we call him a corporal pr a ser
geant. Going up a step, you know
that ia every large concern there
are numerous officers who take
charge of various departments of
the business such the superin
tendent, the traffic manager, the
the advertising manager, the
sales manager, the secretary, the
vice president, and so on; ia the
Army we call the mea in corres
ponding positions captains, majors,
colonels, and generals. Finally, you
have at the top of the business con
cern a president or a general man
ager who directs everything; in the
Army he is a commanding general.
This general likeness between
business organization and Army or
ganization is helpful, but must not
bo carried too far. There is one
vital difference: The average busi
ness concern is somewhat easy
going; the responsibility for each
piece of work is not always definite
ly fixed. In the Army everybody,
on the other hand. Is held to the
strictest account. There is very
seldom any doubt as to the man
to be held responsible for each
task.
Within eacn WJi, irom majur
general to Private, every man has
h£$ individual ranking, depending
upon his length of service in the of
fice which, lie holds. This ranking
injures that in every situation
somebody always ha$ authority and
is . ©sponsible for whatever is done.
Even if two prfvatq soldiers are wor
log together without supervision,
the one who has been longer In the
service takes charge and the other
must obey his orders. This rule
applies everywhere .
Success in winning victories is
the object for which the Army ex
ists. In comparison nothing else
counts. Every officer and every
soldier mu^t be ready to make any
sacrifice, big or little, to accom
plish this object. An officer may
spend years in working out solu
tions to military problems, only to
find in the end that all the credit
for what he has done is swallowed
up in the general reputation of the
Army. If this proves to be the
case, he has no cauLe for complaint.
It is the rule of the Army that
everything must be done "for the
good of the service."
Housework Is A
Burden
Woman's lot is a weary on® at
oest. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many women. Read what Mn» Roll
Cookstron of 1809 JE. First Ave.,
Spokane, Wash., says: "The grip
put my kidneys out of order and I
suffered with a heavy dull pain in
the small of my back which kept
getting mcrre severe. Some dayfe I
could hardly do my work for it
was almost impossible to bend over.
My kidneys were weak and annoyed
me a great deal, too. I was war
ned because my feet swelled and
because of the puffinesg under
my eyes. One box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills gave me relief and after
I had used two boxes I was feeling
fine in every way."(Statement giv
en October 16, 1915.)
On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Cookston
said: "I have had absolutely no
trouble with my kidneys since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
L feel better than I have in years."

simjiiv ask for a kidney remedy— ,

HAIIS NOTES

MISS Ostmo, of Montana, as prin
cipal and Miss Leselle of Wraugell
primary teacher.
J. B. Marshall, one of the Ju
neau lawyers, spent a few days In
Qaineu attending to business. He
left on the steamer Peterson last
Saturday for Skagway.
E. P. Keegan, superintendent of
the work on the government road

Saturday and Sunday in Haines, re
turning to camp Sunday evening.
Jamey Fay, one of the Haines

SCHOOLGIRLS AS HEROINES.
• r* .... , .....
Apparently They Are Considered Only J
by American Author*.
Scott never mentions a schoolgirl, J
says II. D. Sedgwick In the Atlantic, i
Imagine Thomas Hardy fashioning a j
schoolgirl out of Wessex clay or George i
Meredith venturing to describe Diana
ot the Crossways In those early years.
Arnold Bennett woukl have created a
little miniature old wife, as Van Eyck
and Memllng puiut babies tike minia
ture old men. II. G. Wells would depict (
tier as Incipient temptation to lead Mr. <
Brltllng, for instance. Into one of a
Jozen romantic adventures.
Galsworthy would try to fit her Into
in ethical system, into a niche of ao
rtal Justice or matrimonial ventures.
Mr. Howells, one may imagine, might .
have essayed the task, but he would
aave tried to meet the difficulty of get
ting the right values—as a painter dabs j
Slues on yellows to make a green—by i
adding to a primness reminiscent of
the "Vicar of Walietleld," a few dell-:
:ate hoydenish touches.
As there is 110 such thing as a school
girl 011 the continent, French and Ital
an novelists do not mention her. In- 1
Jeed, the schoolgirl, as we see her, Is
in American product and modern.
