"America ror Americans
AXCHORAGE'S VXX!VKRSAKY
Yesterday was Anchorage's an
niversary. Just two years previous
to that dato 'he sale of lots was
made. The towasito was then, a
*>lderness. No doubt many were
discouraged at the outlook and
changed their minds about buying
lets. Others, however, having
faltii in th« country's future and
the ability of the government to
make things go ahead, promptly re
sponded. Sooa order replaced
chaos. Streets were laid out
and celared. Later water was in
stalled, an electric light plant
built, sewers constructed and
eeaien* sidewalks laid. Thus we
find Anchorage today, the youngest
city in Alaska, a modern city hum
ming with indus'ry on every side.
Hereafter the anniversary should be
fittingly observed. The citizens
should prepare some appropriate
pcgcam and make the day a fea
ture day.—Anchorage Times.
NEW POTSAL REGULATION'
"Insurance t;igs will no longer be
attached to parcels." This new or
der governing the Postal Service in
regard to Parcel Poet took effect

must appear on the packape wrap
per, where number and further de
tails will be copied by the clerk.
When parcels are presented for in
surance senders should advise those

tents. The wrapper can then be
marked with rubber stamps provid
ed for that purpose, "Perishable,"
or "Fragile," as the case may be.
The receipt given to senders will
remain ostensibly the same, as at
praseut it ca-rries all particulars
ntcessary lor tracing lost parcels.

BUT IN RETURN I EXACT FROM

When Britain was the enemy of
freedom we opposed Britain, and
now that the Prussianized Germans
of the Hohenzollerns have brutally
wronged this nation and have be
come the dangerous enemy of liber
ty and mercy and justice through
out the world we must war with all
our might and with all heart against
their evil tyranny.
If any man of German blood does
not feel an entire loyalty to the
United States in this conflict, then
he is no true American. He should
be thrown out of our country and
sent back to the country to which
in his soul he reallv belongs. UN

His Modest Savings
Here is a little human Interest story
of the power of an undistinguished
man's modest savings.
The story Is about Abner, long time
clerk In a cigar store. He grew old,
and his employer thought him too slow.
He was fired. Grief!
"What can we do now, Abner?" asked
his wife when she heard.
"Ann," said Abner, "you mind our
savings account?"
She looked at him sternly. "Abner,"
she cried in dismay, "you won't have
to draw on that, I hope!"
"Not unless you say so, Ann. How
much have we got In the bank?"
No idea. They had both been putting
in little sums from time to time and
leaving the accounting to the bank.
Nest morning Abner went to the bank
to find out. It wus $947.02. Astonish
ing! Sure it was there, the result of
constant small additions and the ac
cumulations of interest. Then Abner
proposed his rlan.
Before taking out the money Abner
had a talk with the vice president of
the savings bank, a man capable of
giving good counsel.
Have you guessed that Abner's plan
was to start a little cigar store of his
own? Well, he did, and soon nearly
all of the old customers of the store
where he formerly clerked were com
ing to him because he understood their
| tastes and had a pleasant word for
"I tell you, Ann," Abner said as they
I 9at talking over the first month's prof
its, "that savings account put us on
our feet."
To point the moral of this little story
the author quotes from the late Mar
shall Field:
"The difference between the clerk
who spends all his salary and the clerk
who saves part of It is the difference—
in ten years—between the owner of a
business and the man out of a Job."
The Abner of this story and Andrew
Carnegie followed exactly the same
road to success. The only difference
was that Abner started later In life
and probably won't go so far.—New
York Globe
Tha Inward Life.
The signs and fruits of Inward life
are the outcome of long, slow working
causes, running back through all our
years, including all that we dreaded
and bewailed as well as all that we
welcomed and enjoyed. Including also
the outward and Inward life of our
struggling ancestors and the long and
broad evolution of humanity. We
must follow the hint We must make
each step an onward one. We must,
not Interrupt our own progress.— j
