PERSEVERANCE BALL
 PLAYERS BANQUETED
 BY SUPT. ARGALL

At a most elaborate banquet last night Supt. D. J. Argall acted as host to his boys at the Perseverance mine, the baseball champions of Southeast ern Alaska.
 Steward P COwley prepared the menu, assisted by his chief chef, Joseph A. Orchard. These two men are just about in a class by them selves when it comes to preparing good things to eat. This fact will be vouched for by the baseball boys, who showed the same fight that carried them to the top of the heap this summer, and who partoOk long and literally of everything that was set before them. Even Earl D. Rhoades showed signs of distress be. fore the last course was finished.
 During the course of the evening Supt Argall called on everyone pres ent to tell him how the boys won so many close games and came back with the historic bacon"
 Men Make Speeches
 Manager Enoch Perkins made a very nice little speech but couldn't seem to keep his eyes directed on the boys that he has so ably man. aged this year, and whom he must leave in a few Cays, having accepted Ia position in the States. Next in line was James Herman, team cap tain, who clearly demonstrated that he was nearly as good q speaker as ball player, and members of the Thane team know that he must be there. Even Dermody, the fiery lit tie second baseman, who probably is responsible for the success of the infield had few words to say. Ev- eryone on the team got up and said something, although some of them on ly said they were too distressed to talk
 Perkins Remembered Near the close of the banquet Manager Perkins was presented with a most beautiful hammered brass tobacco humidor, set in Elk's horn This was engraved to show MT. Per kins that the boys would miss him and that he had won a deep place in the hearts of all present. Good luck to 'Perk' wherever ne goes was the toast proposed by P.

GOVERNMENT TO USE
 FILMS TO SHOW PEOPLE

President Wilson has commissioned William A. Brady to mobilize the mo- tion picture shows.
 .'The film' says President Wilson, who frequently slips out of the White House in the evening for look at good picture, "has come to rank as a very high medium, for the dissemination of public intelligence, and. since 1t speaks a universal language. it lends itself importantly to the presentation Of America's plans and purposes.
 Official camera men will accompany the United States forces in the field in France Many of their shots" will be for technical use in the War Depart ment Others will be distributed through the country to show the inspiration of heroic deeds, or the need of help for the boys in the trenches.
 The food administration is planning to produce a series of films showing the way to save food and the way to waste it.
 Contributors to the Red Cross and buyers of liberty bonds will be shown for just what purpose their money is being used.
 The President, in his letter to Mir. Brady says: Tt is in my mind not only to bring the motion picture indus try into fullest and most effective con tact with the nations needs, but to give some measure of official recogni- tion to an increasingly important fac tor in the development of our national life.
 May I ask you. as Chairman. by my appointment, to organize the motion picture industry in such manner as to establish direct and authoritative co-op- eration with the Committee on Public information?
 Tt is much to ask, but my knowl- edge of the patriotic service already rendered by you and your associates makes me count upon your generous acceptance
