TINE TO CLEAN UP.
Only "A few days ago snow lay deel
on the lawns, but now it has vanished
and spring is in the air. This is the
time for the annual cleanup, and the
State Board of Health has issued q
bulletin suggesting that it take place
as early as possible.
Here are some suggestions from the
bulletin;
See that all rubbish Is removed from
your cellar, back yard and surround.

Don't forget to ventilate damp Gel
lars. Clean all windows and keep them
open 10 fresh air and sunlight.
See that all leaky roofs and bad
plum bling are repaired, and do not tol.
crate dirty, broken walls and ceilings.
Don't forget that plenty of soap, hot
water and sunshine will do to assist
you in cleaning up.
Do not forget the attic or any remote
place where flies and germs breed.
Dry sweeping and dry busting are
dangerous practices. Use the damp
broom, the oil-mop, or oiled cloths.
Burn old waste paper and all other
household rubbish at least once each
week.
Drain moisture from garbage before
placing it IN the garbage can.
Do not throw waste paper of any de-
scription on any public street, or park,
nor in your own back yard.
Don't eXpectorate on any sidewalk,
street car or llcor. 1t is a detestable
habit, breeds disease, and is against the
law.
Don't let milk bottles stand unwash.
ed after use. Wash them at once and
don't fail To rinse the bottles in cold
water before scalding.
Don't forget the stagnant pools and
ill-smelling refuse piles. They breed
mosquitoes and flies, and consequently
disease.
OF course tits not to be expected that
one cleanup will do for a season, To
maintain tidy and sanitary conditions,
especially IN the cities, it is necessary
to be vigilant continually.

STABILIZED POPULATION

Alaska needs q stable population A population that will stay with iu the territory year after year. A DoUuiatIon that conIemplatea on making Its future home within the border lines of the political jurts- GIciiCu of the territory. A popu4a- ton that coRtemplates giving to the territory as well as taking from the territory. We need more public spirited men who take pride Iu gle uDbuildiug Ot the eommuni- ties iL which they live.
 The floating population of the territory is enormous. It becomes more noticeable in the winter when tue general tendencies are to move to the outside. # facilities and schools are not on par with those ou the outside t is our duty as citizens to ask the cities and political leaders to make them re- preseutatiye of the great store house of wealth.
 No country can hope to get footing and maintain it's integrity and dignity amongst the other po- Iitical units when it's population aOandOus it for other sections dur ing certain periods of the year. This can be overcome in certain in stances by civic clubs and home or ganizl,iCns advocating better edu- Cqt.UuaI and economic conditions within the community iR which they live. The upbuilding of permanent homes is a stable saver for a fluC- tuaUiDg and moving population. The sooner a man establishes him seIc in a good comfortable home and begins to realize that he Is factCr iu the upbuilding of the con| munity the sooner he thinks twice before he decided to leave that particular place.

AMERICANISAE

The attempt of the Democratic campaign managers to put the em- phsis of Wilson's canvass for re-elec' tion upon "Auerlcanlsm" is look ed upon by the great silent mass of voters as a very bold attempt to cover lp the party record in con gress with high-soundipg words. Observer, of legislation and admin isIration in. Washington cannot separate the issue of Americantsm in its 1916 model from the issues ot preparedness aR eSamphfied by a Democratic ConSress..
 With Democratic continued in con troI at Washington. he country would have an Americanism of the following specifications: l. We would have lofty appeals to our pa triotism and bitter denunciation of all that apprOximates 1 disloyalty, phrased in the exquisite rhetoric of phrase makers. 3. We would have high sounding statements of Am elIcan rights and BOnorous de- mands to foreign nations to re- spec. these rights. 3. Back of these outrageous words we would nave an inadequate army and navy and a vacillating mariner at the helm or the ship of state.
 The American people want the undiluted Americanism of Hughes. They further want, as one of the sanctions of this Hughes American ism a background of adequate de fense. The Democratic party is unwilling and incapable of supply ing this background. The Republt- can party stands ready to meet the need. The people will choose next November, and we shall have an Americauism that is more than bold phrases inspired only by the exi- gencies of pOlitics

A JEALOUS TELEPHONE
 By M. QUAD Copyright, 1916. by she Mcclure
 Newspaper Syndicate.

Henry Howe was a young farmer living three miles from the village of Lansing, and his deaf mother kept house for him. In the village above mentioned lived Ellen Wilcox with her father and mother. Henry was twen. ty-two years old and Ellen nineteen. One day when Howe had sold load of stove wood at the Wilcox home he and Ellen met. They looked good to each other. Then began a courtshlp that lasted almost a year, and there was but one break in It. That was when Ellen went to a picnic which Henry could not attend, and Henry the next Sunday for revenge took out driving a girl he had once kissed at a husking.
 This break in Cupid's plans lasted a month, and people had begun to say that It was ofr forever when the cou- pie made up. The turtledoves coOed again, and in the course of a month they were married.
 All went merrlly for the next three months, and then came a fend in hu, man shape. He was agent for a tele- phone company, and he advanced about l5O reasons why Henry should install one of the instruments in his peaceful home. The young bride advanced her reasons also, and after giving week or twO's thought to the matter Henry ordered In the wonderful little thing.
 One day a sewing machine agent came along the road where Henry was at work and pulled up for talk. He led the conversan2n around to that Sunday school picnic and Henry's bug. gy ride and presently said:
 Did you ever see the fcIIcr that es cOrted your wife to that picnic:"
 "Why, there was no reller" was the surprised reply.
 "Oh, wasn't there? How a woman can fool man! You have gone and put in a telephone. don't say that Teller Is still in the village. but if he is how easy for your wife and he to have dozen conversations day over the wire. Have you thought of that?"
 Say. old man. don't get of any trash like that" cautioned the farmer There was no feller, tell you. and if there was he did not make a mash. Don't try to stir up any trouble here"
 "Oh, l am not one to stir up trou- hle." said the agent, and be drove along 10 the house and entered 1t. He knew ne could not make a sale of q machine for one was there already. He said to the wife: ''I was one of those who thought you and Henry had broken of for good. In fact. made bet of S10 that he would marry the other girl"
 Aren't you bit impudent?'' queried the young wife as she flushed up.
 But l didn't mean 10 be, Mrs. VII. COX. I was Just thinking how handy that telephone was fer him Her father also has a telephone in his house. and If she and Henry wanted to talk. there you are He could slip in here a dozen times a day, and If he didn't talk too loud you could not hear him from your work in the kitchen"
 If you have no other errand you had better drive along, was the quiet Sug- gestlOn.
 Henry did not tell her that he had seen ihc agent that day. and she did not tell Henry that she had seen him either.
 Despite the way they had answered him he had planted seed of distrust and jealousy whirh presently took root
