OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
"Oli, these fool war scares!
Kansas lias been much alarmed, over
a report that enemies of the nation
were scattering in that state a
ecu:'truster in tha gum of which,
were planted ths bacteria of fatal
dic<vses.
'l'ru j to the hysteria that is
wi.Uui us, and which especially is
emphasized in Kansas, Kansas peo
ple refused longer to courtplaster
any tiling. Bleeding Kansas bl®d
w.ihout rnourse to the simple rem
edy ^nd exposed her wounds to va
graut germs conveyed about by the
wanton wmds which so often rip
the canvas off that hapless stale.
Alter several days of fear, with
a liability capitulation of some mil
lions of gray haiiv, flagellatedl
nerves, disturbed slumbers and the
tr-iu of phantasmagoria that travels
witii Uamphoolishnes^ Kansas has
come to her senses, and scientific in
vestigation has shown the courtplas*
er story to haVe been only a silly
sea re. j
Vet, you bet, we'll d'^ abjscuspidj
ixi> o the next fool story that comes
along and hang on to it, and gum
s'.ich it greedily, yielding at latt
to the surrender of it only with dis
pleasure.
Fcr thus the human race is tonllt.

was progressing satisfactorily and
that t*:* vessel would be raised

SOAPY SMITH NOT IN IT
WHEN' RED CROSS GOES
AFTER MONEY
Douglas—While thfl la'e "Soapy"
Smi'hi was resourceful in devising
ways and means for getting money,
he was a mere novice ia compari
son with the Red Cross workers on
th« Island as was attested at the
Ccunty Fair held here in the N&
tatorium last week.
The weather had absolutely no
thing to do with. it. It poured
most of the evening but for all
that the big "Nat" >yas crowded
from 8:30 until after midnight. Had
it rained any harder, the building
would not have h.eld th^ crowd as
'he Islanders do not venture out
much, when rain is not falling and
the harder it rains the more they
go.
Nor counting children, on which,
rnQ town is longer than any other
product, there were 356 paid admii
sions of which the majority came
earlv and stayed la'e. Everybody
was happy. They went expecting to
be "skinned," longing to be "skin
ned," and disappointed when they
really got a semblance of value
for their money, and good values
were given at the county store,
candy, chowder and "dog" and
punch booths, also ia the dancing
oasture. There were several fakes
out they were so smoothly put over
that the victims went back foij
nitre. The farmer with a little
bunch of whiskers on bis chin, one
"gallus," and a hen under his arm,
recalled the recollections of the
late President Rutherford B. Hayes,
was there. Wrasterlain's Juneau
band supplied music and the floor
was crowded with dancers all the
evening.
With the country store to report,
its sales being between $50 ajid $55,
'here was sometjtfng like $285 tak

STEEDAY lac personality of
your country was marked by
"the ripeness of the material
and moral prajrc.s which you had
attained. Today it is completed by
the proud position you have assum-!
ed in the international drama, show-1
ing that it is not only the endeavor
of tliis country to enrich itself and
to make perfect its wavs of exist
ence, BUT THAT ITS POWER
IS A GUARANTEE OF THE
WORLD'S MORAL BALANCE.
The traditional solidarity of our
two countries has never been in
terrupted and never will be inter
rupted.
IT IS TODAY THE P3IDE OF OUR
PEOPLE, WHO LOOK AT IT AS
ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLES OF OUR NATIONAL
POLICY.

facturers who was recemtly. in. that
city. Already over 20,000,000 feet
of this lumber lias been sent out
side for aeroplane construction, it
>s considered excellent lor these
delicate airships ou account of its
toughness and pliability. "fciitka"
spruce h the forestry name for Al
askan spruce. it is considered far
be'ter f<~x aeroplane construction
than the spruce obtained in the Pa
cific Coast states.
The aircraft^board of the United
States has sent an expert to the
west to investigate with a view, to
securing vast <juanties of aero
Dlane timber. After a search bf
fbt world for two years the Allied
Governments have concluded that
th» Sitka spruce was the bast
adapted to aeroplane construction.
Las' year the Allies bought 26,
000,000 feet of it and tJUs year they
want 32,000,000 feet. la addi
tion to this the United States gov
ernment has come into the market
'lor 25,000,000 feet.

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU
A UNIQUE RECORD
Very Few Like It In Our Broa^
Republic
Grateful testimony for Doan's
Kidney Pills, published everywhere
iS of itself convincing of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago Mrs.
Mason, gratefully acknowledged the
benefit derived from Dean's Kidney
Pills. The statement is now con
firmed—the proof more convincing.
Carjes ol this kind are plentiful in
tho wOTk of Doans' Kidney Pills—
'he record is unique.
Mrs. David Mason, 2715 East C
St., Tacoma, Wash.-, says: "I bad
a dull, beavy ache ini my back and
U was lame and weak. Severe beaci
aches and dizzy spells -were com
mon. The kidney secretions passed
too often and I always felt tjred
and womou*. Doan's Kidney Pills
rid me of the trouble." (Statement
given September 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason
said: "I have used Doan'a Kidney
Pills Bince last recommending; them
and have found them just as effec
tive as in the past."
Price 60c, at aU dealers. Don't
simply a*k for a kidney remedy —
get Down's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Mason has twice public
Ir recommended. Foster-Milburn
