FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
When one stojks to th'nk of the
an' uut that Skagway has raised foi
the conduct of the war. it makes a
person sit up and take notice. Here
is a little community almost by it
-cif riving $72,5t>S. This amount
inel^dcs the Second Liberty Loan,
$31,500, the Thiid Liberty Loan
?20,45o, war saving certificate
rtaiEps and* thrift stamps amount
in? to f 10,618. Besides all these,

This little community, and
ti.ere !s tio other way to express it,
: jr >kagwav is not like other Alas
kan towns, no great mining con
. s, operating near; no number of
Urse canneries; just a little town
wrere rail and sail meet and it h<is
d itself up with the best of them.
O.is community takes in a few of
'he section houses along the White
IVss. The liberal contribution is
a magnificent one showing the wor>i
that re are alive and that all are
(!v>iti£ their bit.
The Chamber of Commerce is now
banning to hold besides the regu
lar noon day luncheon once a week,
a dinner at night, once a month.
This is a decided good' move by the
i w administration, as at night the
members are not required to hurry
••back to business as in the day time.
The dinners cau last for several
1 ours and many Important matters
can be discussed, time not permit
ting at the noon hour.—Gateway.
Let us then stand bv the consti
tution as it is, and by our coun
try as it is, one, united, and en
tire; let it oe a truth engraven on
our hearts; let it be borne on the
flag under which we rally in every
exigency ( that we ha-ve one coun
try, one constitution, one destiny.

Glass Industry in America.
Glass was tir»t manufactured In
America by the people of Jamestown,
Vu„ during the year 1010. Comment
ing on tins fact. John Smith lamented
tluit "the labor of the colony has been
misdirected in the manufacture of
ashes, soap, glass and tar. in which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or Russia." The Inhabitants
of Jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, and soon afterward
commenced the erection of a glass
works, the completion of which was in
terrupted by the Indian massacre of
1UU2. The lirst glass factory in North
America to attempt the Industry on an
ambitious scale was built in 1780, at
Temple, X. H.. by Robert Hewes of
Boston. The workmen. 32 In number,
were German deserters from the Brit
ish army. The carelessness of a work
man caused the destruction of the
plant by tiro in 17S1. In 1S03 a glass
factory w:i- established In Boston, and
since that ;iuie the industry has flour
ished.

COLLECT "LITERATURE ON WAR
Cambridge University Authorities Mak
ing Plans to Add to Material*
for Historical Study.
"The litcrutftra of the war will form
a considerable element In every li
brary where students work," wrftes
the vice chancellor of Cambridge uni
versity. according to a correspondent
of the Chicago 1 'ally News,
"At the university library a great
effort has been made during the last
three y in is to form such u collection;
and something already has been
achieved by the celebration of help
ers In various parts of the world, es
pecially the United States, Spain and
some countries in South America,
where German propaganda literature
has been circulated In great abun
dance.
"It may he thought that enough wnr :
collections will be made by the vari
ous government oflices, the British
museum and the National museum.
These collections will of course be
j mors extensive than anything which
Cambridge can hope to get together,
j But where there Is a school of historjr
there should the materials for hlstori
eal study be found, and a very model
I ate war collection will be much better
than none. It may even be that It
I will contain some things not easily to
be met with elsewhere. Therefore, all
Cambridge men in particular are asked
to use their opportunities and con
tribute what they can. Every scrap
of printed paper eventually will fall
Into its place and have its chance of
being useful to some explorer."
This Is no "fish" story as the term
Is usually referred to, but It Is a story
about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish
affairs, vouches for Its authenticity.
Jim has a collection of big live fish
In a small aquarium In a down-town
restaurant and for 12 hours every night
he watches them perform.
"The fish are very affectionate," de
clared the fish student. "They are
good-tempered and kind toward one an
other. See those two largest flshl
They are 'married,' I guess, or else in
love with each other. They always
kiss each other good night and nibble
affectionately at each other's mouths.
The female of the two never puts her
i cold fins on the male one's back. And
In the morning—say, it's amusing to
watch them yawn and stretch them
stives."—Detroit Free Press.
Russia and the United States.
The old autocratic government of
Russia was always particularly friend
ly to the United States. During the
Revolutionary war Russia offered to
mediate for peace and her offer was
accepted by the United States but de
clined by Great Britain. Russia was
one of the first Governments to recog
nize the independence of the United
States and continued to show her good
will by making treaties of amity and
commerce with the United States. Sev
eral of our early presidents in their
messages referred to "the continued
friendship of Russia." In 1823, Rus
sia proposed u friendly adjustment
through diplomatic channels of the
boundary line between AmerTcah and
Russian possessions In the Northwest
and President Monroe authorized the
United States minister to Russia to at
tend to the matter. In doing so he
said : "The government of the United
States has been desirous by this friend
ly proceeding to manifest the great
value which they have invariably at
tached to the friendship of Russia and
their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government."
