we be doing something in the meantime to make
that democratic army not only valuable to the
country but popular as well3
Can't we make army service both profitable
and educational for the soldiers, for the boys who
have volunteered or been selected to serve our
country
We offer these suggestions:
Pay every private soldier in the army, whether
in peace or war; THREE DOLLARS A DAY for
his service to his country.
Make the army a great national, democratic
college, where our young men may prepare for
the trade or profession they may elect to follow
after their term of service is over

The extremely low water which
delayed the opening of navigation
between Nenana and points on the
Upper Tanana river might be re-
garded as indicating that our town
is situated at the logical head of
navigation. Transportation men
encounter practically all their
troubles above Nenana, and at
times when the water is low, as
was the case a week ago, even
the smallest craft find difficulty in
NEGOTIATING the numerous bars. All
of which gives force to the argu-
ment that Nenana should be made
