Cordova is responding nobly to the country's call and will continue to add its mite to aid a patriotic organization in alleviating worldwide suffer ing.

PRo4D OF OUR BOYS.

We meet our young friends on thelr Way to office or store or factory or on errands of business, and we respect their lndustrloqs young manhood. But Ii We meet these same young man in khaki or in the uniform of the jackies, why is It that wei at once feel more intimate Relationship to them9 ?
 They belong to us; they have become "onr boys" not simply by the wehring of a uniform, but because of what 1t means that theife young men who wear the khaki or the blue have pledged tAeir lives, if need be, to defend d dur country.
 Could thI Iere be more altru- lstlc or a lhlgher mission?
 We do well to call them "our boys for they are our own sworn detehders-our only de fense against a ruthless and a bitterly ;@nti-American foe. These young men have put aside the ambitions of their business or industrial life to lay all on le altar of our com mon country. And this is why you hear men and women say proudly as they are passing: "God bless theml" The men feel fatherly ownership in each one of them, a1d the women, in true motherly fashion, are knitting sweaters and socks for "some of our boys" Even at the Roosevelt meeting many of the women were knitting and the needles were flying fast except when the workers stopped to cheer.
 We shall not cease in this generation, at least, to have a very intimate feeling of rela- tionship for "our boys" just as another generation loved "the boys in blue. Chicago Evening Post. .aseIs.-Is,

It is surprising to note the number of so-called soft drinks now being put on the market by brewers. The American Brewers Review, under the caption, Patents, Trade Marks, Prints and LabeIs,' in troduces a few of these brew cry products to the public From the long list of trade marks in this article the fol. lowing selection is made: Bone, dry, Vivo, Quencho, Nulo, Mo- al-ko; zer2, .ALlehQ, 'Teeto, Ia ka, etc. Many others are or the market, among them, Bevo Jesno, Freemo, Milo, Mulo Nearo, Beerella, Sumsuds, anc so oh, almost without end Which leads to the conclusion that the beer makers hay, come to believe that the end, Is nearo at hando for the bee business.

NO SLACKERS HERE.

Ever since congress passed the selective draft act making 1t compulsory for every man between certain ages to regis ter we have maintained that there were no slackers in Alas ka; and despite the fact that several convictions have been secured against men charged with the offense, we still main tain that we have none; be- cause the few who have been convicted were merely ignor- ant of their duty to their adopted country; due no doubt to their training and associa- ton with men too feeble ment- ally to think intelligently. Men with faulty minds together with lack of proper environ ments and education, soon be- come viciously inclined and as a general rule vent their feel ings freely, resulting in inn planting in others their per verted ideas of what cOnsti- tutes individual rights. And just think, such men are mere ly given jail sentences as pun ishment for their disregard for our laws. As though such pun ishment would atone for the trouble they are causing. This is not reassuring for the future tranquility or safety of the country. And right here we as sert that the only punishment suitable for the offense is tc send them back to the country of their origin. You can never hope to make good citizens ou' of that class of men. They ar, ornry by both nature ant ! choice.
 This is not a criticism of tn, court or any official of the de partment of justice; but mere ly an expression of our convic ton of what would constitut, the proper punishment 10 such men. To put them in jai is simply taxing the people tn support of worthless crabs Such men are not slackerS they are mentally defectiv and consequently dangerous
