Yankee Doodle" is a song of
American democracy and freedom.

TO THOSE WHO NEED FARM
HELP.-COnseTve and increase ma
tiOnaI food production to meet the
present crisis.
This is the great hue and cry of the
country at this time. We are en-
deavoring to do our part toward this
end, and have a great number of ap-
picants ready and willing to work
on farms, but who have had little eX-
peTienCe in farm work. 1t is now up
to the farmers to do their share in
guiding and educating this supply Of
inexperienced labor, which we are in
a position to furnish them.
If you are in need of farm help
or know Of any farmer who is, we
appeal to your national patriotism to
make the maximum use of the avail
able supply of labor. In many in
stances we have succeeded in guild
ing OccupatiOnal pursuits of those
seeking employment, and are using
this power to the utmost in secUr-
ing for the country the greatest pos
sible amount of farm labor.
We believe that farmers should not
hesitate to accept a green hand and
to train him for their needs. We feel

sure no patriotic farmer will wish
to curtail his planting or invest

help where it is possible for him to
secure some one whom he can train
to meet his needs, for upon our pro-
duction depends our national sue
cess or failure at this time.

COMMENDS EDITORIAL.-As a
daily reader and purchaser of two
copies of The Day Book permit me
to compliment you on your editorial
in the issue of April II. It is preg-
nant with facts, fairness and evident
sincerity. You have reason to be
proud of it.
The two closing paragraphs dis
close in admirably chosen language
the true position of the United States
today in Nthis war of nations, and
never, since August, 1914, have we
been in a better position than we now
are to show that the United States
stands for just what Washington,
Jefferson, Paine and Franklin intend
ed it should at its birth and during its
childhood days.
I never could understand why you
gave Day Book space to those Jesus,
American Citizen" articles in the
early April issues. One (if issued
April u would have been singularly
appropriate.
1 sure looked in your Forum for
kicks on them, because a large per-
centage of your readers are inteueC-
tually so far beyond any man who
can evolve such rubbish as those ar
ticles that the effect on them must
have been more or less naUseating.
Rev. CD Stelzle evidently has a
Billy Sunday imagination and gall to
write such articles and expect them
to be printed or taken seriously. Am

Perseverance.

Sheriff Wheeler of Bisbane, the Ari- zona patriot who deported 1,20O anti- war agitators, said at a banquet in Phoenix:
 q got the best of these rascals by the employment of perseverance. In the police world you've got to have all the perseverance of Boozer.
 ''Boozer, you know, was crossing the continent on the limited, and one night, after too many high balls. he tackled me in the smoker, and told me long, long story about his domestic troubles.
 "The next morning, headachy and sober, he came to me again and said how much he regretted his confession of the evening before, and he hoped the facts he'd revealed would go no farther
 "'Oh, that's all right said I, T never listened to you, old man, and I haven't the least idea of what you said.'
 "Well, that night the chump turned up in the smoker again, drunker than before, and he sat down beside me, and laid a heavy hand on my knee and said:
 "'Now, then, durn you, you said you didn't listen to me last night, so I'm goin' to tell you the whole story of my miserable -hic-marriage over again.

Good Road Over Rocky Mountains.

we haven't, we cannot. Products on the farm are worth nothing if they cannot find a market. am convinced that the most important governmental work is in the improvement of the roads. In this day of motor trucks 1t is much easier to haul products to the cities or to railroad terminals than 1t was a few years ago, but we must have good roads to do it. There is not the slightest doubt that good roads many times over pay for themselves. They are a fundamental economic ne- cessity.
 "The initial outlay in the building of good roads may seem large, but 1t Is small in comparison with the benefits that accrue. In Alaska we have ap- proximately 900 miles of improved roads, varying from the ordinary coun- try dirt road to the best kind of ma cadam. In Nome there is a stretch of road over which in the summer time thousands of tons of products are hauled"

ROADS REDUCE LIVING COST
Make for Prosperity More Than Any Other National Undertaking, Says
 Alaskan Engineer.

Good roads, more than any other national undertaking, make for the prosperity, happiness and contentment of the people," declared Col. w. P. Richardson, engineer in charge of high ways in Alaska. "This is particularly evident at this time, when in every large city there is protest against the high prices of food. In my judgment, good roads, more than any other agency, will help to solve permanent ly the high cost of living. Transporta- ton, of course, is at the foundation of prices. It is truthfully said that where there is inadequate transporta- ton food prices mount high. We know that in cities prices are greatly in ex- cess of those in rural districts and 1t is all matter of transportation and distribution. If we have good roads, we can get our products to market. If

TALE OF HORROR

Only Eleven of Colony of One Hundred Survive on Bar
 ren Island.
SUPPLIES NEVER CAME
Starvation, Ocean and Murder Claim Most of Colony on CIipperton Is- land, of the Mexican
 Coast.

Mexico City.-The story of the res cue of eleven Mexican women and chil- dren from almost certain death on the barren Clipperton island, a coral atoll $50 miles off the Mexican coast, was related by members of the rescued party who were landed at Salina Cruz by an American gunboat.
 They were the survivors of more than 100 colonists who left for the is- land in February, 1914. The remain der died from scurvy or were drowned.
 Story of Governors Widow.
 According to the story of Mrs. Maria Arnaud, widow of Captain Arnaud, governor of the island, shortly after the arrival of the colonists, the Amer ican schooner Nokomis was wrecked on the island. Thirteen members of the crew, including the captains wife. reached the shore, where they remained for several months while few of the sailors rowed back to Acapulco.
 On hearing of the suffering of the people on the island an American gun boat went there and took off the Amer jeans, but not before they had mate rially diminished the food supply of the colonists. It also offered to take off the Mexicans, but they declined the offer, expecting that boat with SUD- plies would arrive any day. The boat never came.
 Attempt Rescue; Drown.
 When their food was exhausted the colonists were forced to live on fish and the eggs and flesh of sea birds. Scurvy set in and more than half the colonists died. In 1915 Captain Arnaud with three men put off in a rowboat to try and intercept vessel that had been sighted, but their boat capsized and its occupants were drowned.

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Mistaken Idea That Improved High ways Are Solely for Benefit of
 Automobile Owners.

Poor roads are very expensive things for country communities. The farmer who thinks that improved highways are mainly for the benefit of those who drive automobiles should reflect on the results of a recent investigation by the department of agriculture, which finds that the cost of hauling farm produce over ordinary country roads is 23 cents a ton mile, whereas over hard-surfaced roads it is only IS cents.

EXPERT IN AVIATION WORK

Maj. Benjamin D.

 He has been on aviation duty from Its beginning in the United States army. In July, 1909, he operated the government dirigible at Fort Myer, St. Joseph, Mo-, and Omaha. January, 1910, to July, 1911, he operated the first army airplanes at San Antonio and engaged in reconnaissance duty on the Mexican border in 1911, after which he was relieved from aviation service until 1915, when he was ordered to the Mexican border, where American troops were withdrawn from

GUARDS HEALTH OF SOLDIERS

Surgeon General Blue is con- vinced that such edible nicknacks as ''hot dogs, peanuts, lemonade and ice cream cones" should be accurately set down on the public menus as "trash" and he will, therefore, strictly segre- gate any of the ubiquitous "pop and peanut" men who might hover about the various cantonments many miles from their objectives.
 Soldiers, as a rule, have pro- nounced "sweet tooths" and, as a con- sequence, delight in spending their loose change about stands which fly popular colored advertising pennants and are armored with tin soft drink emblems.
 These same soldiers, also Surgeon General Blue maintains, generally have more or less stomach trouble from their careless diet and are many times temporarily incapacitated from their routine of duties. And it is with the object in view of keeping "the boys"

TELLS OF RUSSIAN SOCIALISM

Henry N. Hall has made a close study of conditions existing in Russia since the revolution. In a recent inter view he said:
 "To understand the Russian revo- lution and the situation which has de- veloped over there in the army-'the Russian collapse as some newspapers call it-yOu must study the underlying causes, or rather, I should say, their underlying cause. For the otherthrow of the czar on the one hand and on the other the refusal of many of Russia's bravest and best soldiers to fight any more are both due to one and the same thing: Class-struggle socialism.
