DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH HIS MONEY

A farmer came to one of the biggest
business men in the Southwest last
week and said 81 have done pretty
well this season. I've $4,000 that I
can spare. It's earning me nothing in
the bank. You know something about
investments, tell me what to do with
It,"
WELL" said the big fellow, you can
put your money into Railroad Stocks,
you can buy Standard Commercial
Stocks, or you can take long chances
and buy stock in some Gold Mine
which may or may not make you q
Millionaire. Do you know anything
about stocks, shares, or investments

my wife would never quit worrying II

We'll" was the reply. Il can advise
you to buy some good Commercial
Stock but want to warn you that
owing to trade conditions being upset
of course the Stock might be low Just
when you wanted to SELL Would you
mind that?"
"Yes, believe would. OF course,
know all Stocks go up and down Q
little in price. but must have some
thing that can't go down too low, be-
cause might want my money any
time, and can't afford to lose 5% to
1919 of my investment just for the
sake of securing so to 10% interest"
80 you want something that is 20

"Oh, you mean buy liberty Bond."
Yes, why not?"
We'll, l guess can't do better"
Better, why, man, you can't do as
well. It's the only kind of investment
for a fellow like yourself who knows
all about farming and nothing about
finance. Your bond is the best col
lateral in the world, you can always
sell IL II YOU have to, and believe me
there is feeling of satisfaction about
owning one of those bonds that you
can't buy with any other security.

THE FAR M { RS WAR

Let us think for while how tho
War concerns the farmer.
We went to war with Germany
partly because the rllers of that
country refused to let us SEND 10
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
truelly murdered our sailors. New
suppose we allowed them to stop all,
our shipping, where would you be!
None OF your goods would be sold
In foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
Is being waged partly that you may
obtain fair prices for your goods.
What is going to happen If we
lose this war? Prices of farm pro.
auce will drop; tho Germans will
Impose taxation upon you which will
cripple you for the next twenty
years. Worse than that, if the Ger
mans get over here, they VII treat
sou In just the same way as they
have the farmers of France, Belgium
ind Italy. In these sections farm
houses have been shot to pieces,
crops wasted and burned even fruit
trees chopped down, the cattle stol-
en- the men sent into slavery to
work for German masters, their wo.
men illtreated in ways that cannot
be talked Of in print their little chill.
1ren have had their hands chopped
of in order that they may never
tight or do any more useful work
igain
You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this iu
France, in Belgium and in Italy. such
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we omash
he Germans so utterly that they are
unable to reach this country. The
German fleet and the German army
will take just one week to get here
II we are beaten. They have made
up their minds that America shall
pay.
Is there farmer who will stand
forward now and say, "This war does
aot concern me-"
You have money that you 10 not
need at present. Loan 1t to the gov.
srnment at good interest; when you
want the money back again, you can
borrow on your bond, or sell II.
Uncle Sam will take care of your
money until you need it and pay you
interest on Il.
Go and buy Liberty Bond tomor.
,ow.
The Banks have some Bonds ON
'and. They are holding them for
people like yourself.
Don't be Stacker, and don't fool
rourself with the idea that you are
90 far away from the war for II TO
} ri you. Remember 1914, when the
Germans upset the worlds shipping,
md you took what you could get for
Vour products.
Think of the twenty years starya.
hon prices ahead Of you, in case we
ire beaten.
This Ia your war. and II you won't
ut in II you deserve to lose your
american Citizenship.

would be better than Skagway, the Garden City? '
 Skagway is centrally located as far as the Division is concerned and has as good boat service as any other city, with the exception that a few boats stop at Juneau in the winter that do not make Skagway. But Juneau already has 8. good high school and it could hardly be called economy or wisdom for the Territory to give her another. skag- way has a real need for the high school and can give back to the school in the way of advantages nor. than any other city. Through its Council Skagway has made ma terlal advances to the Legislature that show its readiness to go mora than halfway. We say, MT. Legislator, why shouldn't skag- way have this sehoool? .,'

THAT DIVISIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
(CORtTibuted)

In peutiouiug the Legislature to locate the Divisional High School for the First Division in Skagway, this city is not selfjshly asking a boon. A high school of the order contemplated by the Legislature will most certainly be of great value to the city in the benefit to te derived from larger educational opportunity for it's children, in the intellectual impetus derived from the assembling of that many more students and the bringing in of that many more trained instructors. But Skagway very properly feels that the favor is not all On the one side. '.
 As a location for an education al institution, Skagway is ideal. First oI all We have a city of homes aLd g high school of all institu- tious should have it's location am. pg homes. Educators every where recognize the fact that the good accomplished by any school is largely dependent upos the close touch maintained by the school With the home life of its students
 In the second place, Skagway has the best climate and the most sanitary physical conditions Of any city in Southeastern Alaska. A minimum of rain and a maximum Of sunshine, coupled with an equabIe temperature range, low CT in sumu CT and higher in winter than it's neighbOrs, will serve to make contented the boy or girl away from home. Our water supply comes from q spring-ted lake far up in the mountains. Our streets laud they are not mere trails call ed streets by courtesy) are kept clean and slightly. Even. our, com parati7ely iong tide flat is a gravel bar and not mud flat and never offend the smell. Our chiledrn are free rem the ravages of epidemfcs of even children's diseases, and where, once in a long while a case does crop out it is promptly talk en in hand and confined to, the one patient.
 Then, too, Skagway is Yitally in terested in it's own school and can be depended upon to take an active interest in the welfare of another.
 Skagway's location on 8 broad, level. fertile valley floor gives 1t the advantage that 1t can offer high school all the room 1t needs for the various activities in which a high school might engage. For sports ard athletics of all kinds Dlenty of level space is needed and the same is true of many manual training and vocational courses which such a school might be ex- pected 10 take up. For instance, # the school determined to take uu flower or vegetable gardening, what location could be found that
