Doing One Thing Well.
sssssesssssssssssss

When the. women Of the warning
nations found themselves called upon
to help their governments, they were
bubbling over with eagerness and
patriotism, but many of them found
that there was not one thing they
could do we'll.
Socks were knitted at a furious rate
by people who had turned a
heel or pointed of a toe. and while
thousands Of pairs were accurate and
perfect. a great many of them would
have crippled the poor soldiers had
they ever beenfcondemned to wear
stitches to save the wool and the do
ing over Of the work by some one
else.
In the same way. many who came
to offer their services had no idea
what they wanted to do nor what they
could do we'll. Naturally 1t took time
and effort on the part Of the govern
ment to train them. and It was much
harder for the workers to learn their
tasks in time Of stress and anxiety.
With the many calls for prepared
ness now being issued from different
quarters. 1t is only right that every
American woman think the matter
over quietly and decide what she can
do and do we'll to serve her country.
One trouble with many would-be
workers is that they fail to realize
this is the day Of expert and specialis-
cd tasks, and that the general worker
who has neither training nor expert

WANT SCHOOL ON
WILDERNESS in
ALASKAN SECTION

Seward. Alaska. April 12.-From
out OF the Kuskokwim country, a
wilderness from whence majestic
Mount Mckinley rears its snow
crowned crags and pinnacles, has
come a petition from the white set
tiers asking for a school or two for
their children. a telegraph wire. and
nearest point on the Seward-Fair-
banks railroad. The signers claim
their section Of the country has pro-
duced more millions than the whole
of Alaska cost the United States.
The petition is addressed to the
secretary of war, postmaster general,
secretary Of the interior. delegate to
congress. chief signal officer, and
chairman of the Alaska wagon road
commission. Four hundred name.
are affixed to the document. and II
took six months to get them. The
country Is said to be the most sparse
~ settled Of all American possessions.
The petition was relayed from camp
to camp by mail carriers, trappers,
gold miners and travelling men.
The winter mail service to tho up
per Innoko and Kuskokwin is fairly
good. probably as good as q be ex-
pected." read the petition. "but in the
summer time there Is no service at
all. Two malls were received during
the summer of 1916. When naviga-
ton Is open mail service should be at
least monthly.
There is no United States marshal
deputy stationed either in the Kus-
kowin, Mt. Mckinley or the Innoko
Precincts. One should be stationed
either at Ophir or Tokatna. II the
government is unable to stand the ex-
pense of ~stationing n at each place.
This petition. hal. been signed by peo-
pie living in ana around Ophir and
Tokotna, but the matters touched on
concern those living anywhere in the
K~uskokwim, Mt. Mckinley. Innoko,
Ruby and Idatorod districts.
"The Kuskokwim river is the Sec
ond largest river in Alaska. yet 1t
drains a country which Is without tel
egraphic communication with the
rest Of the territory. In summer 1t
has practically no mail service. It
has no schools for white children.
and no trails except those built by
God Almighty and the people living
in the said districts"
