HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he  ignores the public utterance of sO- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to achieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who aas taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. 1t looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. We'll we've been Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads in Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.
