that for twenty-five cents or for
fifty cents the shopkeeper will

But Americans are strong for indiv

by our British Columbia neighbors
Is a splendid channel for such ef

These package^ may contain cake
or or her food delicacies which are
rare enough at the front. Or they
may contain tobacco or cigarettes.
Whatever is put into them can be
listed as a comfort that will be

it is certain that many a boy on

When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She tore the aucuro robe of night,
And »et the itan of (lory there.
She mingled with Ha gorgeous dyel
The milky baldric of the skies.
And itriped hj pure celestial white
With streaking! of the morning light]
Then from hit mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down.
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Flag of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy start shall glitter o'er the bravet
When death, careering on the gale.
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack.
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee.
And smile to see thy tplendors fly
In triumph o'er his closing eye.
nag of the free heerfi hope and home I
By angel hands to valor given i
Thy start have tit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float- that standard sheet I
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet.
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us ?

WE have rend much of what we
must do to meet the de
mands made upon us to sup
ply the needs of ourselves and our
allies in the world war. We .hear
the cry for men—trained men, men
who cun do things, who are best
fitted in their particular line of en
deavor.
Here lies the opportunity for
those who have had the advantage
of a college training. Education has
developed your powers to the point
where thev should be able TO GET
THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF
GOOD FROM THEM.
The sooner all of us understand
what effort and sacrifice mean the
better we shall be able to meet
whatever the future may bring to
us and do our part.
Now tiiut we have finally entered
the world war the people of the
whole world are turning their eyes
our way to see how wa conduct our
selves.
OUR NATION is on. trial.
OUR INDUSTRIES ARE ON TRIAL.
EACH INDIVIDUAL OF US IS ON
TRIAL.
All of us must do our parts in or
der that we may have a symmetrical
whole, and all parts of the country,
industrially and individually, must
work to the highest efficiency so
that we may have a successful re
sult.
COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaska People Have Found
This to be True.
Are you wretched in bad w eat li
ar?
Dees every cold settle on your
Sidneys ?
Doefe your back ache and'became
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
iud distressing?
These symptoms are cause to
mfcoeu kidney weakness.
.Weakened kidneys 'need quick
lelp.
Dean's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
' Grateful people reccomend them.
William C. Russell, 'retired fann

one hours and straining work
