BE A BOOSTER
1t Isn't Your TOWN.
It's YOU

II you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of towr you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
stake
Your neshbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
II isn't your town-it's YOU!

l. COMMUNITY COOPERATION

Get together and pull together. A BOOSTERS
CLUB of ive determined business men, who will
lay aside petty self-interest, and work together
for the general good, will put this town on the
map, and it will stay there. Pull together to
make our town more attractive. Pull together
and bring our boys and girls to realize that in the
development of our national resources, in promot-
ing more scientific farming, in making better
schools, in building better roads, in developing
manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-to-
date methods of merchandising, and in countless
other ways of community building, there are op-
portunities right in the "old home town" for a
career of usefulness such not be found else
where.
9. BETTER SCHOOLS
Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to
crime. The majority of the law-breakers and
criminals in our county jail are iliterate. Educa-
tion prevents crime. It costs less to give boy
good education and start him on useful career
than it would cost later on to give him trial
and execute him for committing crime; and the
result is more satisfactory. We want our town
to have as good schools as can be found in the
State.

a. GOOD CITIZENSHIP

If you respond to the needs of your town with
what your town needs from YOU, then no matter
what your vocation may be, you are, indeed,
good citizen. When dozen such citizens get TO-
gether they can resurrect town from the dead
and make it an ideal town to live in. Environ
ment creates Tendencies, What is the environ
ment Of the boys and girls of our town9 Ideals
and Amusements affect Character Impure water,
foul Closets filthy back yards, merchandise unpro-
tected from flies, affect Health. We don't want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in
our town. Paint and lime are two Of the greatest
disinfectants ever discovered. Let US paint up our
residences and stores, and whitewash trees fences
and outhouses. It will make healthier and pref

SENATOR BoRAH is taking a
leading part in the construc-
tive criticism Of the govern
.ments war revenue policy.
In doing SO, he is exercising
patriotic right in sounding a
warning against harmful or
unfair methods of raising
funds to prosecute the war.
He takes the stand that the
wealthy, especially those
whose wealth is growing i'm
mensely by the acquisition of
war profits, should be made
to bear their just proportion
of the burden in taxes now,
rather than that an unjust
proportion be placed upon the
masses for whom the war
brings no monetary profit,
but increased expenses. 1t is
true, SO long as the govern
ment possesses no manufac-
tories of it own, that manu-
facturers of war materials
must be stimulated to the ut
most exertion by guarantees
of fair profits, but it is also
true that the greater their war
profits are the more they are
able to pay into the war
chest, and the less it should
be necessary to ask of people
who are being made poorer
by the economic disturbances
due to the great world
tragedy. America is just en-
tering the struggle, and the
counsel of men like Borah is
needed to help get started
right. A government that is
fair to the people is the gov
eminent to which the people
are most likely to give I'M
support.

Choosing the Good.

Look for goodness instead of the
contrary, and you will find it with
out the aid of handglass. 1t is
not rare; it is not hidden; it is all
about you. Trust to "snap"
judgment of surfaces and you will
be misled. Inquire into the heart,
as botanist probes the inner
mystery of flower, and you will
reach different and a true con-
clusion.
Emerson tells us that we are en-.
titled to be judged by what we are
at our best. Neither do we dwell
on mountain top or attend a
picnic, or enjoy boat ride or a
swim or fish or hunt all the time.
Vacation days mean what they are
to US, because they are inspiring
interludes. They bring the chance
not to rusticate or vegetate, but to
give exercise to our various hobby4
horses stabbed so long. Then it is
what we choose to do, not. what
we must do. And if man deli.
berately chooses evil, when he has
the whole range of good and evil to
select from, verify his heart must
be knarled and black.
The preponderance of goodness
in this world of ours is overwhelm-
ing. From the way one sometimes
hears pessimist talk one would
think the western war front as long
as the equator, instead of about
800 miles in extent. Yes, there is
a war, and it is all that it has been
called. But there is also the fight
that every man is making
to bring himself through to the
end OF his days in the conscious
MSS of having played a mans part.
Ifhe gives up the struggle, his |
misery Gf his conscience is not |
atrophied) is acute.
Lose faith in the general decency. |
learn to suspect human nature, and
there is little fun left in living. 1t
IS he who trusts, he who gives
credit for the best intention, who
gets most satisfaction out of life's
Journey as he travels. If you
would find the heart of gold, you
must be as ready to discover that
precious substance as you would
be to detect the baseness of lead,

 1T FOOD

J, D. MacCormick received the fol lowing communication from the Food committee, of Juneau, which he has turned over to Cordova Chapter American Red Cross and will be giv en the proper attention:
 This committee has been instruct ed by the food administration at Washington; to do everything poss ible, which in it's discretion is war ranted, towards helping the organiza- ton of FOOD SAVING COMMITTEES in the various communities of Alaska
 We have just concluded the mi tial campaign in Juneau. It was sue cessful to degree, far beyond our anticipations. We consider it / a splendid example of the patriotism of our townspeople, and their willing ness to do all in their power to help win this war.
 "Our object at present is; to enlist the aid of some of the leading citi- zens, who will take in charge, the formation of FOOD SAVING COM MITTEES in their respective com- munities.
 WILL YOU HELP US? IF so TELEGRAPH US, COLLECT.
 "Oh favorable reply we will send you an outline of our plan of cam paigp and will furnish you with sam- ples of all our literature. Some of the necessary material has been sent us from Washington, some of it we have had printed here. We have a considerable supply on hand, and so far as it lasts, We would furnish you from here.
 'The campaign began Throughout the States Oct. 29, in Juneau we were one week later, starting Nov. 5.

5 BRITISH DRIVE. RESULTS BIZ
 VICTORY
(By Associated Press)

DATELESS - Triumphant in a stroke against the linden burg line the British troops are pushing on to Cambrai and the main links of the German supply system are only three miles away. In two days the British gained as much ground as in the first four months bat tie at SOmme. Tanks tore holes in the German wire entagle- ments and the artillery partici- pated in the drive. In Eng land yesterdays victory was hailed as one of the greatest on the western front.
 The British participated in hand-to-hand fighting in bat tie at Esquieres. The Britens, preceded by tanks, stormcd the towns, and the Germans fired on the tanks with seven big guns at short range. The Brit ish infantry then charged on the guns and killed the crews. The British cavalry captured the crew and battery at Rumil- ly-Sahering and also took three other big guns in a simi- liar manner.

It is food that will win the war.

It is food that will win the war.
 How are We going to get it?
 We are going to save it-save it to save our pals, because that's what the allies are in this fight.
 We are going to make good on Uncle Sam's promise that he would furnish the "grub-stake" for this war.
 The allies need more wheat, more meat, more sugar. It is either wheat less and meatless days for us or wheatless and meatless months for them.
 And we are going to help-every one of us. There is no mistake about that. We will make good on the grub stake" promise for the sake of the folks who trusted us and for the sake
 
 Der that they are bound for France the land where we are sending the "grub-stake."
 We want no regrets after this war. We have had ample warning of the condition which awaits us, unless every American cit'zan responds to the call of duty. 1', and I want to feel, when the regiments of our boys return from the batfefields of Europe, some of them ~oc1'h,v broken, but all victorious, that we have done our part even to the last detail, and we may not have to lay upon our own con sciences the loss, through our ne glect, of single American.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-22

But so long as the war lasts, it will not be too late to make start.
 "The work as we have carried il on here does not require much of any ones time, because it has been so dis tributed, that many are made to carry the burden.
 "We hope to have your active ass. istance in this matter, which is of great importance, and trust to be fay. ored with an early reply"
 The above letter is accompanied by the following appeal from the United States Food Administration at Washington:
 To All Active Workers, Family En rollment campaign:
 Uncle Same is mighty big and strong but he is not so big and strong that he can afford to break prom ise. There is not a real American in this country who would not fight to make good one of Uncle Sams promises. When Uncle Sam says any. thing, that means that all his loyal sons and daughters have said it. The honor and interest of this nation are in the keeping of our splendid citizen ry.
 Here is the proposition: We have promised to "grub-s5ake" the allies. We said You need not farm-you fight"
 They did not farm, but how they did fight!
 Winter is coming on. There were few for the sowing and there are fewer now for the harvest. The pinch has come. In France they are look ing across the sea and saying:
 How about that grub-stake, Uncle Sam; how about that grub-stake!"
 They are not whimpering. the Frenchmen, they are not that kind, but they are hungry and if we fail them with our "grub-stake" they will S-T-A-R-V-E! Thousands of them men, women and little children.
 Gnawing at mere empty promise will not help them. Nothing will help them but food.
