TOBACCO.

The high prices the farmers re-
ceived for their tobacco this year
will naturally cause many to in
crease their acreage for the next
crop.
Prices may be as good, or better,
for the 1917 crop than for tobacco
raised in 1916, and then they may
not. No one can tell.
We are of the. opinion that the
man who raises only a small crop,
and tends that well, is the one to
get the most for his labor. Four
acres is much easier raised than
eight, and four acres of GOOD to-
bacco will net nearly as much as
eight acres of an inferior quality.
Quality and not quantity is what
farmers should strive for in raising
tobacco.

JOHN BARLEYCORN's END

Action by the senate Saturday in voting against the sale of liquor to anyone wearing the United States army uniform foreshadows the knockout of John Barleycorn by war.
 This may be said to De the coun- try's first victory since it joined the world war. Realizing that whiskey does not make good soldiers, the members of the upper house, by 8 vote of almost two to one, said it should not be allowed to handi- cap the army that is being Nraised.
 Instead Of using valuable grain to produce liquors and beers, that grain will be devoted to the making of bread and wholesome foods.
 The Senate has put Barleycorn against the ropes and he will be counted out before congress fin .ishes it's measures to raise not only a big army but an efficient army,

THE CALL

The call of the flag is to be re- sUonded to tonight when citizens of Skagway meet in Elks' hall to form a home guard.
 The country is at war to uphold the rights of the people, to de- feat autocracy and to make sure the firm establishment Of demo"Ta"v
 Such an aim should enlist the entire human resources of the cOun- try, There is g part for everyone to plaT and he should be ready to play 1t.
 Deeds of those at the front may be more heroic but they are no mere important than the work of those who remain at home, sober ly doing their bits in shop or of flee or on the farm. Only by their patriotic and self-sacr$icing co- operation can the army be support ed and enabled to win victory.
 But, those who remain at home have another duty. They must be prepared to protect themselves against any local dikturbances. Though there seems to be no probability that such will arise rere, still war-times require pre- paredness for any emergencies that may arise.
 It is with this view that the organization of the Skagway home guard has been proposed. It is hoped that no occasion will be required for the guard to prove a defense for the community but that it no way Iessens the wisdom Of its formation.
 The training that will be receiT- cd will be of value to those wh9 joiu and may be of service to the country. No one can fOresee what the future holds in regard to the need the United States may have for soldiers to wage the war up on which 1t has entered.
 Only one thing is certain and that is that this war must end only with the banishment of autOcracy. The attendance at the rally to- might should show that SkaGway realizes the momentOusness of the time and is ready to do its part.
