Raise Chickens

EDITOR THE TINES:
There is little problem in
arithmetic for the patriotic peo-
pie of Tacoma who are enlisted
for economy.
Suppose there are 100000 peo-
pie in our city, with an average
of five persons in a family, thus
giving 10000 families. Suppose
each family were to purchase and
raise two small chickens, thus
having, in all, 10000 chickens.
These chickens, at three pounds
each, would equal 10000 pounds,
which at 20 cents a pound would
be worth $4,000.
Now, these small chicks might
be purchased at few cents each
in June, and kept until late fall,
mainly on the table scraps which
go into the garbage can of most
families. Just before winter they
could furnish good dinner for
the family. Would not 10000
pounds of choice meat, worth
$4,000, be quite an item of saw
ing for Tacoma? MRS. w.

OF
BOYS WlRELES SIS

Discovery Sunday of a complete
wireless telegraph outfit in oper-
taoin at the New Standard hotel,
14th and Court A, in violation of
U. S. wartime orders, has caused
police and federal officers to start
a thoro investigation OF reports
that important war information
had been emanating from this
city.
Although no intimation was
given Monday as to the nature of
message said to have been sent
and it was no, even charged that
these messages had been sent
from the New Standard hotel
wireless outfit, officials admitted
that a thoro probe had started.
The wireless was discovered
after automobile mechanics on
the lower floor of the hotel re-
ported to the police that they dis
tinctly heard the cracking of a
sending instrument.
Back in Position.
Police Capt. Cornish, with De-
tectives Mckay and Huckaba,
hurried to the building and found
Norman Arndt, age 10, a Stadium
high school student, in the room
with the wireless instruments.
Three weeks ago the police
gave Arndt notice to remove his
entire amateur outfit, and had
seen that he packed it up and
stored Ii In a vacant room.
The entire apparatus, which
has a radius capacity of 400
miles, and which is said to have
been one of the most complete in
Tacoma, was found In position
again Sunday.
Wires in Place.
Aerial wires had been taken
down and laid on the roof, but
were in such condition that they
could be raised, for receiving
messages, in two or three minutes.
Arndt had cut one of his cleo
trio wires, and argued that he had
done 1t in order to keep within
the U. s. navy order regarding
the discontinuance of operation of
wireless systems.
Chief Petty Officer Irwin Wy
man of the navy, who was called
by the police, found that the
wires could be reconnected In an
instant, and announced that he
found evidence that they had
been connected recently and that
the apparatus was in working
order.
Wyman operated the wireless,
sending messages to U. s. navy
wireless plants, as proof that the
instruments had not been dis
mant1ed.
Take IL to Armory.
Under orders of the navy off
Ger, police removed the entire ap-
paratus and took 1t to the state
armory.
Socialist and I. w. w. head
quarters are located in the New
Standard hotel building.

Arndt, and proprietor of the ho-

Men, Too
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
While you are lining up the
women against waste, why not
line up the men against tobacco
and cigars?
We have good authority for 1t
that some odd thousand dollars Is
spent year in the United States
on tobacco alone.
There are many excellent house
keepers whose husbands spend
more for tobacco week than
their wives could possibly save in
six months with the most care
full care against waste.
Why do they always put It up
to the women to do the saving
stunt?
And why do not some of our
journalists write articles what
the men could do to save, and
make home a blissful spot?
We women certainly have our
share Of problems.

Los ANGELES, June 11.-Not
audience of honor with the king
nor the homage OF Bngland's peo-
pie can compensate Maj. Gen.
John ]. Pershing, commander of
American troops, soon to fight in
France, for the loneliness he feels
without his brother. Nor will war
separate them.
So strong is the bond between
the two that James F. Pershing,
Cincinnati business man, will
leave here today for San Fran
cisco on the first lap of journey
that will eventually take him to
the side Of his fighting brother

Other members, after congratu-

Arndt's offense in installing

to be serious one.

/ b1 HEINZ AND thhhiN1loN
Celebrated Psychologist, in an
Interview with Mary Boyle
.O'ReiIly.)
Are towards to blame?
Is cowardice a nervous disease =?
Can a coward cure his cow
ardice?
Should towards be kept back of
the front? SHOULD THEY BE
SENT FORWARD TO BE SHOT?
OF the 100000 men who
stare at their mirrored faces while
waiting selection for service 81
100000 will search their answer
ing eyes for a look of half conceal
ed fear. They will do this with Sc
cret shame which is unwarranted.
Every man out of physical train
ing is more or less a coward.
More, rather than less. City life,
cramping occupation, causes be-
yond mans control are to
blame.
Men courageous enough to ad-
NIT a fear are not cowardly. For
fear is not a nervous disease, but
a natural instinct. A child never
taught to fear is afraid. It's prim-
tive, hereditary fear of the dark
is inherited through uncounted
ages from the time when all vege-
tartan animals got eaten during
the night.
The self-confessed coward
had one sure cure: ENLIST.
We know more of courage
than of fear i'm war.
The physical training of
camps gives man conf
dence.
When recruit puts on
khaki his state of mind
changes. He Is no longer
clerk, or grocer he be-
comes like IA child entering "a
new life. The old life fades
away, the present grows all
important.
Physical energies are doubled
by outdoor exercise, manual work
simple, strict mode of living. lie
no longer endures anxiety or ire
pidation.
Patriotism flames up a supreme
force, it becomes right and natur-
al to sacrifice personal interests
for love of country. True courage
develops.
To keep towards back of the
front would be wanton cruelty.
For those in the civil zone feel
more fear than those in the war
zone. Their sense of self-preser-
walton is more acute. They lack
the support of the crowd where
every man thinks of one thing
only-WAR.
"When ALL advance no
one is afraid" testifies a
clear-headed poiIu: sit Is only
when an officer orders,
Every man for himself that
soldiers feel fear"
Biologists may contend that
towards be sent to the firing line
killed off-to relieve posterity
of their infirmity. BUT THE FIR
ING LINE CURES FEAR.
l wish might say personally to
every man now brooding over a
secret shrinking from the grim
realities of modern warfare,
Friend, only those who have
never fought have a feeling of
fear The nearer the front, the
greater the confidence. Men in the
first trench know no fear"
The terrific noise in advanced
positions, the intense absorption
in imperative duties, keeps the
brain In constant state of excite
ment.
Superbly fit, every soldier feels
nothing can withstand him-each
man has an inner conviction HE
will escape injury.
"Where bullets whirr we
each fiZZ inside like bottle
Of champagne" a French SOL
der wrote me.
A soldier kills without panic,
feeling that he must defend HIM
lself.

ALASKA DAY TOMORROW

Tomorrow there will be a celebration in Seward of Alaska Day. The special exercises will be given at the Seward public school Judge Whittlesey making an ad- dress and the students will sing patriotic songs.
 Tomorrow means something to everyone in Seward. It means that fifty years ago this territory purchas ed from Russia and through all the years since slow but sure progress has been made until today, Alaska IS the great territory of the United States.
 Wealth in gold has been taken from the soil to almost hundred times pay the purchase price fish has been talk en from the waters the value of which year by year has increased and scores of other Alaska products have help ed enrich the United States.
 We in Alaska know its worth-a territory which has hardly been touched territory that will yet yield untold treasures The hardy sourdough has stuck by his clam his trap and has grown with the territory and helped to make it what it is. Every man woman and child now numbered in its population is help and yet the so the goldbearing soil; agricultural soil, has hardly been scratched
 One often hears the remark: T have had enough of the north and I am going to the States want to be- once more where everything is better.'
 They go but almost invariably return.
 And why?
 Because they realize when away from the north that which they cannot secure anywhere else.
 Alaska not only promises but it fulhlIs.
 To those who remain deve into the yet hidden treas ures prosperity will come Hundreds have made their fortunes in the north and thousands are yet to make theirs
 Everybody works in Alaska and everybody who hopes to win anything in this world will make it in Alaska.
 Opportunities are at our doors.
 Everyday something new develops, something new turns up and there is always something that leads on and the path leads to success and wealth.
 Here in Seward and the surrounding district this is especially true
 So tomorrow we should all remember our day Alaska.
