The only thing Fill couldn't draw was
Just 4 salary.
Bill Sims could make 4 dandy churn

Could build I'm automobile that would
run without a jerk;
Could make Il Set of bobslcighs that
would always run a. >lirk a. grease:
Could cut a pair of rou>crs that would
always hold their crease.
But one thing that Bill couldn't maxi
ri all 10 save his life
lie couldn't make Il livin' for himself
and kids and wife.
Bill Sims could play the violin aud ~
most any horn;
Could initiate each bird or beast that
ever bad been born.
The folks kept him busy dom odd jobs
and all sich:

We have not only ex-nationa guardsmen but there are also numbers of exregulars with the technical knowledge and training the nsouciant swing and 'Imathome-in-my-clothes sort of style peculiar to professionals in military affairs. Some are from the line, representing iantry cavalry and artillery; the staff corps are represented by from the medical engineer, signal. quartermaster and coast artillery corps; who have filled all enlisted positions from top-sergeants to kitchen police. There are drill instructors. redtape wrestlers, graduates of army cooks and bakers schools and mule skinners. There are many naval men, volunteers and marines Many of them are carrying marksmen's insignas around in their war bags, and have personal speaking ac Quaintance with artillery of all sorts from Colts auto matcs and mud ovens to defense plotting boards and Buzzacotts Some of them have smelled hostile gunpowder in Cuba the Philippines and Indian cam. paigns. have looked in a few of the numerous Central American revolutions and broken trail in the sand while mushing along the Mexican border
 Anchorage seems to present an ideal field for Territorial military company and a detachment of staff corps or two, and since Governor Strong has been authorized to provide for such organizations now Is the time for some wideawake enthusiastic profes 5iOna or business man, with modicum of military training to start things secure men and equipment asten the double hurdles his shoulder straps and give Alaska feature that will put Anchorage on the military map.
