a message, more time for the person
receiving it to frame reply and
send it and some time for the reply
to be delivered But last week a
new record was established in Fair
banks in the matter Of getting a
hurried reply to a telegram.
One of the employees Of the First
National bank sent a telegram to IA
man at Hot Springs a few days ago.
He filed the telegram, returned to
the bank. and almost as soon as he
had resumed his duties there, a
messenger came with a reply. The
exact time between the sending OF
the message and the receipt of the
reply at the local telegraph Office
was four minutes. 1t took but a lit
tie additional time to deliver the
reply.

School Miss Matte Gardner
Beard daughter of G. Ellis
Worried. Gardner, assistant dis
trict attorney, will teach
the Garden Island school next win
ter, but the fact that the school
board On the island had not Off
cially voted her election, caused the
members of the board considerable
worry last week.
Before Mr. Gardner went down
the river, the Garden Island school
board looked over the various ap-
plications, and the members decided
that Miss Gardner would be desir-
able teacher, provided suitable re-
Communications could be obtained
from school authorities where she
had served in North Carolina.
Accordingly a telegram was sent
asking in regard to her qualifica-
tions, and after Mr.. Gardner had
departed for Ruby, favorable reply
was received. Then telegram was
received from Mr.. Gardner asking
if his daughter would be chosen, for
he had to inform her before she
should accept other employment.
The members of the board had come
to an understanding in an informal
way that she should be employed,
and as there was no time to hold
a meeting Mr. Gardner was assured
that she would be elected.
But since that time there seems
to have been an unusual crop OF
applications for the position, and
one teacher who was employed in
the Fairbanks school previously was
among the applicants. When the

What Going On This Labor Day In the War Trench

something is running through his mlndIand
that home, mother, wife, sweetheart, children
country, patriotism, czar, king, fight, enemy,
Christ, God, brotherhood will run through, all
mixed up at first-but may finally set sorted
out in order. .,
And when the soldier goes home with think
ing head on his shoulders the masters might bet
ter watch their step-for the thinking soldier is
very apt to become THINKING MAN.
That's the big thought for this Labor day.
The world is thinking. Things are getting
sorted out. The men are thinking about
masters, and masters are thinking about
men.
And not only in Europe, where masters
can't fight without men, but over here-and
everywhere and out of it all will come mil
lions of men who may think themselves into
an understanding that God doesn't run two
sets of moulds, but that all of us come from
the same heavenly mould that all men are
created free and equal, and that it was none
of Gods work that some became masters
and others became slaves
