HAPPINESS

Happiness goes out from the heart before it comes in. It never by any chance stays at home You can harvest it for the common good, but you cannot store it for your sole individual use. You can lend it but you cannot borrow 1t, you can earn it but you cannot buy it, you can spend it but tyou can not accumulate it. A man must contribute to the stock of human joys before he can participate in its profits. To seek happiness with out giving it is a futile quest, and all our longings for what we have not learned to give to others are as empty bottles in the wine cellar of the soul Happiness really never was any good in this world but to give away!-Ex.

Daily Points For Citizen Soldiers (Issued by the War Department And all rights to reprint
 RSerTed).

The three basic qualities, Loyal ty. Obedience and Physical Fitness' were treated in the preceding les son. There is another group Of three goldierly qualities that are especially needed during the periods of training, marching and waiting between combats. They are:
 intelligence,
 Cleanliness,
 Cheerfulness.
 Although these qualities are as- sociatsd chiefly with camp life, they are. of course, scarcely less help ful in all other phases of military service.
 THREE QUALITIES OF BATTLE Finally, there are the three bat tie qualities of the good soldier:
 Spirit,
 Tenacity,
 Self-reliance.
 Unless 8 man has these three Qualities-eyen though he possess es all the other six in good meas ure-he is after all only 8 campfire soldier.
 MAKING YOURSELF, STRONGER The nine qualities which have just bsen reviewed are those which everyone of us would like to have for himself. They are the essen tials oE yirile and successful man. hood, whether in the army or out oft. Even the moral weakling and the stacker in their hearts ad- mire toese qualities. Doubtless you have developed some of them already-perhaps all Of them to a greater or less extent Many q man has discovered, when put to the test, that he possessed these qualities without having him. self realized it. But under ciyiliza- tion conditions it is not easy to cultivate all of them.
 In u, army you will have your opportunity in 8 few months of training to strengthen these quail ties in yourself. In so doing you will learn to control yourself, to take care of yourself under all con- ditious, to meet hardship and dan ger uuflinchingly, to be fearless and self-rAliant. At the end of these fe months of training you will have gained immensely in vigor and in strength.

MINING ACTIVITY

Mining activity in the Porcupine district never was known to bring SO many encouraging results as this season is doing. This year all the operators have been more than pleased and up to date more gold has been taken out with less expente and under systematic management than say time since the early days when the district was operated Dy so many companies and private in dividuals and had population ot several hundred miners and pros pectors.
 The Alaska Corporation Is operat- ing the claims formerly owned by the Porcupine Gold Mining Co.,, and completed their third and best clean up of the season on the 18th. This cleanup was from a small pit and the gold taken out was several thousand dollars more than expect ed. At 50 early date ID Lhe soa- son with two months more in which to operate these claims it is safe to say Itbar mining operations with three and possibly four more clean ups, will yield more gold with less expense than any year since 1905. pr. Sewell seports having spent a week ou these creeks and talked with the operators and men in charge and says the work is going on like clock and that prospects are that more than $10O,O00 will be taken out by one company alone.
 The whole camp is much excited oyer the reports of the bornite ore' as mentioned, in yesterdays Alaskan It was not expected that the tun- nel being sunk would reach the ledge until in late September or October. The quantity and grade of ore is far above all expectations.

AUTOMOBILE RACE
 HELD IN FAIRBANKS

Before 8 crowd of approximately 2,OOO people, the first automobile race ever held in Fairbanks was pulled off recently at Exposition park. Robbie Sheldon, the veteran driver of the interior, who came all the way from Chitna here for the express purpose Of competing for the $500 prize put up by the executive committee of the Fourth Of July celebration, tok first mon ey, winning from Bob Scanlon, who took rhe secnd prize, $150 in cash, by seven seconds. Sheldon's time for the race was a few seconds over one hour and ten minutes. His fastest lap was made in fit- ty-two seconds. The slowest lap made by any of the six entries to the race was sixty-eight, seconds. Joe Enos was in third place when Sheldon and Scanlon finished, being 9 little more than two laSs behind them. Next came the Gibson car, lap behind Enos. The Parkin car was fifth, eight laps behind the winner, and the Metz was last, nine laps behind.
 There was no accident of any kind to mar the pleasure of the oc- casiOn, and it is generally consid- cred to have been the gretaest event of the kind ever pulled off here. Only at one time, on the lower end of the track, was there imminent danger of a smashup, and that was when Sheldon, in jOckeying for po- sition nearly ran into one of the other cars. In fact, the race was but a demonstration of what can be doLe, for the impossible, in the minds Of some critics, was ac- complished when the race was com Dleted without somebody being kill ed. But it is now entirely probable that automobile races will hereafter be features in every sporting Occa- sion in Fairbanks.-Citizen.

THE WHITE CROSS"

Congressman jacob E. Meeker ol Missouri is doing what he can to contribute to the success of the as sociation known as the "Whlte Cross" The organization has been brought into existence by a body of St. Louis women, and has for it's object the education and care of those soldiers who come back from Europe crippled in such way that they are unable to follow the trade in which they were engaged be fore the war. MT. Meeker declares that the people ot England have already subscribed over seven mil lion pounds for 9 similar object ID that country, and believes that the moral support of the Govern ment should be given to the or ganization in this country which is taking up the work for our own soldiers. If it is not done by pub lie subscription, as proposed, an enormous expense will necessarily .devolye upon the Government in car ing for it's criQ2les at the .elose or ths war.
