"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
BISLXESS, ANI) VACATIONS, AS
USUAL
la the same breath, we talk wild
ly about economy, efficiency and
"business as usu.il." But ia our
eutieuvw to practice the first we
corue dangerously near to destroy
ing the others. An example of this
is the tendency to eliminate vaca
tions, on the plea that every man's
strength is needed for the .national
struggle. We agree about the need.
We go farther and maintain that
every man's fullest body and brain
power will be required for the days
th;i< are ahead. A man with little
vitality, little endurance, will not
be able to stand the strain or face
unprecedented emergencies with the
mental alertness or the physical en
ergy demanded. On this account
alone a rest is needed by every one
to gain that reserve power that will
be one of our greatest national as
set*. jj| i, 4>
But there are still mare urgent
reasons for taking our annual holi
day. During the last year, yre a^
a natiou, have perhaps spent more
energy than at any other time in
our history. We have increased
production, speeded up delivery, and
lived through more trying crises
than auy ever faced by this
generation. All this has consumed
our strength more rapidly than w
realized; and while the stimulus of
patriotism enables many to hold out
for the present, the endurance can
not be prolonged indefinitely. At
some crucial moment, valuable wort
ers here and there will go down un
der the strain, and the loss will be
far greater than any temporary1
slowing up while these same work-'
ers took a much needed rest.
Your country needs machine pow
er, man power, brain power; need
them now, will need them more in
the future. But more than all these,
she needs men wifh vision, vision to
see beyond present needs to fu
ture emergencies. Now Is your
tim^ to plan for these, to gather
the reserve of strength and vigor
which will carry you through th,e
coming year. If our motto is to be
"business as usual," then follow
it out to the la^t detail and add
—"vacations as usual!" — Prom

SAVE RICE—THROW* BRICKBATS
AT WEDDINGS, SAY8 VAIL
The average food ration or a San*
my in the field is 4200 calories a
day. Rice bas a food value of
1630 calories per pound. There
fore according to C. E. Vail, statis
tic shark of the Colorado Aggie col
lege, who estimates an average of
three pounds of rice is thrown at
each, newly married couple, one
Sammy could be maintained for a
day on the waste. He advocates
substitution of stones and brick
bats for the food products.
Daily Points For
Citizen Soldiers

THE TEAM LEADERS
Most of the men in the Army are
orivate soldiers. Their waik is of
the greatest importance and de
serves all the respect and praise
which It receives. A great many
men in the National Army, however,
will tM> ambitious to rise to higher
ranks. They will find plenty of
encouragement and of opportunities
for promotion.
If you are one of these men, don'J
allow yourself to forget the fact
that you can win promotion only
:by proving your fitness in each,
duty Intrusted to you. It is a
rare case when a man is "Jumped1*
several ranks ahead. As a rule, he
climbs from one rank to the next
higheT rank after having demon
strated in each position his intelli
geace, honor and reiiaonuy.
From the first-class privates are
usually chosen the corporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are
ap.oointed by the commanding offi
cer of the Tegiment on the recom
mendation of the commanding offic
er of the company.
Next above the corporal in rank!
comes the sergeant. There are
usually 9 to 11 sergeants in a
company. Unless a sergeant has
some other duty assigned te him,
he is normally the leader of a pla
toon.
Sergeants and corporals are
known as noncommissioned officers,
because they are appointed by their
regimental commanding officer. Of
ficers of higher ranks are known as
commissioned, since they hold their
rank by virtu© of a commission is
sued to them under authority of
the President of the United States.
Lowest in rank among the com
missioned officers is the second lieu
tenant. Above iiim comes th^ first
lieutenant and above him the cap
tain. These are the three "com
pany officers."
Next above the captain is the
major whose proper command is a
battalion. A step higher is the
lieuteaant colonel and above hii« til
colonel, the commanding officer of
a regiment.
Above the colonel is the brigadier
general, whose proper commandj is
a brigade. Above the brigadier gen
eral is the major general, the high
est rank at present held by any
officer of the American Army.
One general, however, serves as
Chief of Staff of the Army.
Tha chaifl/ of authority reachea in
an unbroken line all the way from
the President to the newest re
cruit. If the President chooses to
give an order which in any way af
fects the recruit, it passes through*
the Secretary of War, Chief of
Staff, major general, brigadier gen
eral, colonel, major, captain, ser
geant, and possibly corporal un
til the recruit is reached and the
order obeyed.
FIRST BOAT LANDS AT I
DOCK IX CONTROLLER BAY
The Juneau Empire says that Cap
tain Glasscock, o f the Admiral
Evans, Teportg that his shin on the
last trip, was the first boat to land
at the new dock of the Alaska An
thracite Coal Company at Control
ler Bay, and that the wrokmen on
the Tailroad declared a holiday and
celebrated.
The Evans had a shipment of rail
road iron fOT the Company and as
ihere were no launches there to
handle the lighter^, Captain Glass
cock decided to go into the dock,
which he did. He declares that the
j Bay makes a good harbor and that
as soon as dolphins and lights are
established, the channel will be
perfectly aajfje for boats in any kinty
of weather.
The bay is a wide one and there
is plenty o£ water for any lx>at to
navigate Into the dock. The rail
road is getting well along towards
the coal fields, according to the
captain's report.
JUNEAU AFTER ATLIX TRADE
On Wednesday of this week the
river boat Cassiar left Juneau on a
trip to navigate the Taku River a.
distance of 60 miles to its bead.
Juneau business men are making
the voyage, which is said to be one
ai the most scenic in the world. The
purpose of the trip is to investi
gate conditions with a view of se
curing the Atlin trade to come via
■ Juneau, and to get In closer toucty
with, the industrial, mineral and
agricultural resources of the Ter
[jritory drained by the river.
World
Sport Events
AV'ar Stops Football
Therg will be no interecholastic
laotball for Aberdeen high; »chool
students this year- The is tho
cause. Coach Don Hawley has gone
to the Presidio training camp and
jnany prospective members of the
team for the coming year have en
listed. i
With gaping holes torn in tha
football material for this year by
the leaving of players for variou^
branches of ttie. army and navy ser
vice and the graduation of the re
mainder, the prospect for football
this year in the Stadium and ; Lin
coln high schools 0[ Taooma is de
cidedly uncertain and the outlook
extremely gloomy, according to the
opinions of Coaches Perkins and
Colbert.
Dobic Is Coach At Annapolis
Gilmoure Dobie, former football
coach at the University of Wash
ington is to be instructor or foot
ball at the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Dobie, who
is known to all varsity me>n and to (
all sport fans, resigned at the Uni
versity of Detroit and immediately
accepted the offer to go to An
napolis. Dobie for several weeks
has been dissatisfied with the small
aQuad at the U. of D., turned out
for football practice and had let
it be known that he was ready to
quK. At the time he made up his
mind, to do so the oflfer came from
Annapolis^ His resignation was re
luctantly aoceptfid by the board of
the University of Detroit.
Handy Literature.
Saundersou found It very hard work
selling books. The volumes bo had
to offer, one of which he bud to carry
with him as a sample, were very
heavy, and nobody seemed to want
them. But he wag n persistent man.
and even the stubborn Mrs. Bowling
could not send him away unheard.
"We have all the books we can use."
she said, "and we really can't afford
any more -eadlng matter. Why, I
haven't ever opened the second vol
ume of that ltoman history you sold
ua last spring. Now, If you were sell
ing one of those adjustable Ironing
boards"— "I've got just the thing!"
said Saunderson cheerfully. "There
are twelve books in tills set. a^d you
can use either one or two or three, and
so on up to six. to lilt your board any
way you want to. And between whiles
when your iron Is heating you have
good literature to refresh your mind."
A Bonohead.
There are many things dropped In
the subway ticket chopper by absent
minded riders besides the little piece
of pasteboard which entitles them to a
ride. An eccentric looking young man
and his particularly eccentric looking
wife hurried up to the door of a Broad
way theater last night. The maD
reached into his pocket, handed the
doorman some ti< kets and, assisting
his wife before blsn. turned to receive
the stubs. "These are subway tickets."
said the doorman. At the rate of two
pockets per second the young man
searched himself. Then he clapped his
hand on his forehead. "Cood heavens,
Annie," he gasped. "1 put the seats In
the subway!" And what Annie s&ld
about bonchends was only heard by
herself.—New York Cor. Pittsburgh

Housework Is A
Burden
Woman's lot is a w^axy one at
Dost. But with frackacha and other
distressing Kidney ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made lite brighter for
■many women. Head what Mnt. Roll
Cookstron of 1809 £. First Ave.,
Spokane, Wash., says: "The grip
put my kidneys out of order and 1
suffered with a heavy dull pain in
the small of my back which kept
getting more severe. Some days I
oould hardly do my yiork for it
was almost impossible to bend over.
My kidneys were weak and annoyed
me a great deal, too. X was wor
ried 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 3Vay." (Statement giv
en October 16, 1915.)
On Jung 8, 1911? Mrs. Cookston
said: "1 have had absolutely no
trouble with my kidneys since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
I feel better than I have in years."
