fultOa County Sslsiers.

Since its early settlement, Full.
ton county has furnished its full
share Of soldiers for the defense
of the country. Although only
about a half dozen have enlisted
in the present war with Germany,
it is, very probably, a larger
number than the average for
each 10000 inhabitants-t that be-
ing the population of our county.
We believe we are nearing fact
when we state that, during past
wars. the most and best soldiers
came from the mountainous dis
tricts of the country. Over in
Cumberland county, no township
is as proud of its record for num-
bers and efficiency of it's soldiery
as the northern half of Miflin
township which includes the
rugged and famous Doubling Gap
mountain district.
Practically every boy in Fulton
county is an expert with the rifle
and can ride and care for horses.
This is of great advantage when
enlisting. 1t gives him the laugh
on his green" city cousin.
1t is not the desire of the gov
ernment to attract efficient farm
labor to the ranks of the army
or navy. Legislators are now
viewing with dread the effects of
their former efforts to build up
manufacturing centers at the ex-
pense of the strictly rural COM
munities. But Fulton county is
rot a food-producing district in
the same sense that the broad
limestone acres of the Cumber-
land Valley. Lancaster, Berks,
and other southeastern counties
are held. Therefore, we believe
there are more young men of
the county who should respond
to the call of their country in its
present need, and not wait to be
drafted.
A frank volunteer stands much
higher in the estimate of his
neighbors than one who was
forced to enlist. Both will share
in the bountiful pensions of Un-
Gle Sam, but how much higher
will the volunteer be able to hold
his head when the war is over?
Some one has said that the
mothers of this country have al
ways been the best recruiting Of
ficers. Our hint to these dear
mothers would be that they en-
courage enlistment before the
drafts goes into effect which
will be and thereby digni-
fly the future lives of the boys by
having their names go down in
history as volunteers-not con-
scripts = for 1t is practically GER
tain that they will be drafted if
they do not volunteer. They
have no time to lose.

 Alaskan coast line for six hundred

 many of our citizens, who are inclin-

 One of the ultimate aims of this great educator is to replace white teachers and nurses with Native men and women trained in the service to handle future generations of their own races.
 "Is there any hope for the Native races of Aiaska?" asked one who is- engaged in work among them. Not if we view them as worthless drunk en 'Siwashes. tainted by filth and disease, whose generous spendings we encourage and accept while rele-
  gating the spenders to the gutter or the jail. But if, like William T. Lopp and Charles w.
