H. Hoover and his national staff

upon its showing Pledge Card Day
The states quota was 100000

there will never be danger of fam

You never saw football team

Now for the boys.
Perhaps you have heard about the
Working Reserve.
1t has been carefully organized
under government supervision. 1t
has received the official endorse
ment of the President. The whole
plan is working out successfully
wherever it is understood.
The trouble is that some of the
parents are still little doubtful re-
garding enlistment, because they
don't know how much of an obliga-
tion is assumed
Here is the plan in a nut shell.
Thousands of enlisted and selected
men have gone to the training
camps. 1t may be that thousands
more will go next year. These men
are being called from factories and
workshops and farms. Every fac
tory and every farm must continue
production if we are to render full
service to our faithful allies during
the war. How can we fill the places
of the young men who have gone
away to fight? We must rely upon
the boys who are old enough and
husky enough to work, but who are
still too young for military service.
So here is a trumphet call for all
city boys and town boys between the
ages Of 16 and 21.
Prove your patriotism and help
your country by jumping in and do
ing the work Of a soldier who has
gone to the front.
The United States Boys Working
Reserve is not being organized for
lads who have to work for living.
Nearly every soldier now wearing
a uniform could make more money
at home.
You are not asked to work be-
cause you need the money. You are
asked to work because your country
needs your help and relies upon you
to chuck aside false pride and join
in the team work.

 Should 1t so happen Alaska will have the honor of assisting very ma . terially in bringing the war to a close hy helping our troops and their allies to whip the Germans.
 Also in providing the Sitka spruce in the present emergency. Alaska is again demonstrating the value of the great northern territory to the Uni ted States.
 With the cutting off of a large portion of the copper production by labor disturbances, the government Is forced to look to Alaska for large portion of the copper consumed in the munfacture of munitions and other adjuncts of warfare. Alaska Is also furnishing a goodly percentage of the food supplies of the army and the civilian population through the medium of it's fisheries, and is also helping to feed our allies. Alaska sulphur, the product of our ancient volcanes, hs today being mined in re- response to war demands; Alaska gold is helping to supply the sinews of war, and in various other ways the once despised Stewards folly" is lend ing valuable assistance to the nation in it's hour of trial.
 Uncle sam is assuredly receiving a valuable return from his small in- vestment in this neck of the woods.

VALUE RECEIVED.

Another excellent illustration of tn, great value of Alaska to the United States is contained in the recent an- nouncement that the government is turning 10 Uncle Sam's great north ern possession for the most suitable timber for aeroplane construction.
 Of all the various species of tim Der growths found in the broad do- main of the United States, the Sltka spruce has been determined as the best material to be found for con- structing that most invaluable acces- sory to warfare, the aeroplane.
 By reason of its great durability and tOughness the Sitka spruce has been found to be practically unequaled for this purpose and the demand for the Alaska timber product has been steadily increasing since the com mencement of Amerlca's participation in the war. ..
 According to the reports, shipments of Sitka spruce are being made at frequent intervals from Juneau and other southeastern Alaska points. nearly every foot of which ultimately finds It's way into some portion of the wooden framework of the aeroplanes which will guide the aim of our gun ners and otherwise assist our troops on foreign battlenelds.
 Military critics are agreed that in modern warfare the aeroplane is ab- solutely the first essential to success ful military operations. Aside from their direct value as an instrument of offense they really constitute the eyes of an army. So gigantic is the scale of modern battlefields that an army is reduced to a state bordering on complete helplessness without those Hitting wasps of the air to spy out the movements of the enemy, assist In locating his batteries and 10 fur nish the range to their own gunners Who seldom ever see the objects at which they fire.

ton. Nevertheless, Halifax, through
geographic situation, has the best of
the argument.
st. Johns growth has been limited
through proximity to Halifax. Sydney
suffers through not being an ice-free
port. While the coal mines and the
ore deposits, which are the basis of the
big iron and steel industry. are at Cape
Breton, and while this furnishes con-
siderable maritime traffic Sydney,
nevertheless, is not liable to become the
chief Atlantic port of the Dominion.
This advantage remains with Halifax
It is, therefore the seaport which after
the war will retain the largest proper
ton of gain that has been made
through the necessity of wartime ac-
tivitics. The Improvement of the ship
ping facilities thus becomes permanent.
While there is no probability of Hall
fax diverting much of the Canadian
transcontincntal traffic that now goes
to Boston and New York from those
cities, and while there is less proba-
bility of the city becoming a port of
call for cargoes that naturally belong
to Boston and New York, the end of
the war undoubtedly will see HalifaNs
occupying the first position among the
Atlantic seaports of the Dominion.
The imperial policy of Great Britain
on it's economic side is likely to in
crease the standing of Halifax. a chap
ter in this program is the strengthen
ing of the commercial and political re-
lations between Canada and the West
Indies. Measures to this end had been
taken some years before the war be-
gan. They were involved in the reci-
procity agreement made between
Canada and several of the British West
Indian colonies.
The purpose of this agreement was
to give Canadian flour manufacturers
the market heretofore held by the
United States, but there were Incidental
features of more general application
One of these was the encourag ement OF
the shipping. Halifax always has had
a good shipping trade with the West
Indies. This included not only the
British possessions, but other islands
There was some traffic with Porto Rico
and ST. Thomas.
The advantages which the British West
Indies got from the trade agreement was
chiefly in the admission of sugar into the
Dominion. This scheme did not work out
as satisfactorily as its advocates expected,
but it is claimed that, under the new i'm
perial and colonial ties that have been
formed. after the war the plan will be
given a broader scope with the direct
sanction Of the home government and
that especial attention will be paid to the
development of British shipping. This
means that Halifax will be the chief bene-
flciary.
Halifax financiers and capitalists had
adventured into the West Indies years be-
fore the trade agreement They did not
confine themselves to the British possess
sions. AS soon as Cuba was set up in
business by the United States as an in
dependent republic considerable Halifax
capital went into street railways and
steam railroads Some Of it also was in
vested in sugar plantations. A Canadian
bank which had its head Office at Halifax
established branches in Cuba, and these
branches have competed with the banks
established by American capitalists.

The inaugural ball was held in the
Treasury building, and, womanlike, l
remember the dress l wore on that
casion SO long ago. 1t was blue

we reached the Treasury. and a little
later followed the presidential party
to the marble room, now the cashiers s
room of the Treasury Department,
where we were met by the committee
of reception. Later we adjourned TO
another room, where we received the
guests.
First in the receiving line came Gen.
and Mrs. Grant. Upon their right stood
the Vice President and Mrs. Colfax.
Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Dent and myself with
the four Grant children. The gen.
erals military staff and many others
stood Immediately behind us. Before
Gen. Grant stood small marble table
on which he leaned slightly forward as
he bowed his acknowledgements. The
crowd was so dense that he could
shake hands with but a few intimate
friends. He was worn out by trying

went to supper.

later. 1t came about in this wise: We
disposed Of our wraps in a room re-
served especially for us, and our supper
was served in a private apartment. but
the other guests did not fare SO well.
The truth of the matter is that the ia :
cilities for caring for the large number
of persons attending the ball were not
sufficient. There were not walters
enough. nor was there space enough
and. worse still. food enough for those
who desired supper This nearly caused
a riot in the supper room.
