in maintenance Of the principles Of de-
mocracy in defense Of which this war
has been undertaken.
In a practical degree the uniforming
of all those drafted by the government
for military or industrial service would
be valuable. 1t would establish an army
of reserves with no immediate disloca-
ton of the farms and mills and Of
fees. Employers would be warned
that certain number of their
men would be possibly needed for mill
tary duty in the near future. They
could take steps to train substitutes
against the day of the call of their uni
formed helpers to camp. These men
could be going through training courses
without interrupting their routine of
daily business The plan is entitled to
serious thought as a measure of real
preparedness for war the extent and
duration of which no man can foretell.

The Water Wagon.

Behold the water wagon
AS it travels on its way;
It's more potent than the fagon
On convivial display
We have heard with ears admiring
All the steam pianos roar;
But the water-cart untiring
Interests us vastly more.
In its well arranged completeness
We may ride without fear,
And the water wagons neatness
Is approved both far and near.
Motors seem inconsequential,
AS it keeps upon the go;
All the fluid that's essential
Is our common Fl o.

Americans of German Origin.

From the Springfield Republican.
There is thoughtless talk current that
is to the detriment of citizens of German
birth who are loyal to the United States
at time when such loyalty costs more
than the gossip mongers seem to under
stand. 1t is a season of distress for Ger
man-Americans who love their native
land and yet stand with the country of
their adoption. Cannot the most thought
less among us see that it is the part of
good citizenship and of common human
feeling to help such loyal people. to avoid
wounding their sensibilities. and to try
to make them feel that we do not doubt
their good faith while recognizing their
dilemma? This practical opportunity to
do unto others as we would be done by
should not be neglected by people Of
sense.

The Fulton Service Wagon
is A GREAT HELP
TO EVERY WOMAN.

You can serve your meal with one trip
from the kitchen to the dining room, generally,
if you have Fulton Service Wagon. In serving
a course dinner or dessert, the dishes that you
are through with may be removed from the
table and placed on the wagon and the dishes
you are ready for, put on before the family or
guests many times without even getting UP
from your seat.
A splendid thing for serving refreshments
or tea to the guests, and for serving meals or
light repasts on the porch and lawn during the
summer.
Two and three tray styles, both of which
are easily and quickly folded thus taking up
but little room when not in use.
Two-tray style, $500.
Three-tray style, $500.

BIC SCHOOL YEAR
Despite War, Colleges Expect
Large EnrOIIments This Fall.
Average Age of Students, How
ever, Will Be Lower.

In spite of the fact that hundreds of
the young men of Kansas have en-
listed in some branch of national serv-
ice. that other hundreds. have been
drafted to service in the new national
army and that many young women
of the state have taken up Red Cross
work or have devoted their attention
to some other form of war service,
heavy enrollments for this fall are
being expected by the colleges and
Universities of the state. Preliminary
estimates by registrars at the state in
situations and at smaller schools in
dictate that enrollments nearly as large
as those of last year are looked for.
Many college and university regis
trars base their calculations for large
enrollments on the fact that 5000
students were graduated from high
schools of the state last spring, an in
crease Of about 5000 over the spring
of 1916. It also is pointed out that
the young men of military age who are
not called on the first draft will con-
tinue scholastic careers. The chance
which the freshmen and the younger
men will have to make the athletic
teams this fall is expected to be
drawing card.
1t is expected that the attendance
of women at most of the colleges and
universities will far surpass that of
men, tho the number of women stu
dents probably will be cut down by
Red Cross and other forms of war
Service.

US. TELEPHONE
 LINE EXTENDS
 245 MILES OUT
Now Possible to Converse With Headquarters on
 the Talkeetna

Telephone and telegraph communi cation was opened this afternoon be tween Seward and "Dead Horse Hill, | the euphonious name given to point on the Talkeetna river 245 mile. north.
 Supt. E. R. Mcfarland of the T. anC T. department of the Alaskan engi neering commission, who is now at Anchorage, called Seward this morn ing and advised the local operator that the wire was open for cofmmerc. jal business.
 The line has been open to Chicka' loon in the Matanuska coal fields foI several weeks, and a section of the Talkeetna line was completed last summer.
 Extension of the wire from Palmer on the main line north to connection with the Talkeetna section was done during the winter by men on snow shoes, over swamps along the Susitna, where it is impossible to work in summer.
 A small force is engaged in running a wire from Eska creek siding to the Eska creek coal mines. Wire string ing between Potter creek and Indian creek is nearing completion.
 In the townsite telephone system at Anchorage, the work of changing telephones and lines, and reinstalla. ton continues. During the mild weather some messenger wire for aerial cable between the central of flee and the terminal yards was hung. There are 19O local phones in An chorage.

BASEBALL FANS CONSIDERING
 PARK PLANS
Place For Local Team to Trim the Enemey is
 Greatly Needed

An agitation has been started ro establish a permanent athletic field and baseball park on the block re- served in the Federal addition for park purposes.
 Local fans realize that Seward is without a ball park since the new ap- proach to the dock cut the old tieic in half, and are anxious about place for games during the coming season.
 Anchorage will probably demand that the local team come over there to settle the championship question this year. There are a number of other games of importance to be play ed here and there must be place to practice as soon as the snow goes, if Seward is to retain the championship of Southwestern Alaska.
 The park block together with po-- tion of adjacent streets is ample in area for ball field.
 An announcement for a meeting of the fans will probably be made at an early date to discuss ways and means.
