ALASKAN DOGS USED FOR WAR
MOVES IN The VOGES
BY HENRY WOOD.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the French Armies in the
IVosges, Dec. 10 (By Mail) with the
return of heavy snow in the Vosges,
Alaskan dog teams today are vieing
with the automobile drivers of the
American Ambulance and the men,
bers of the Norwegian Red Cross ski
Corps for the honor of bringing in the
greatest number of wounded. The
Alaskan sled dogs, gathered in the

France. Although the Allies, though
their supreme mastery of the seas,
are able to gather war supplies in any
and all parts of the world, the Alas
| kan dogs are conceded the honor of
coming from the most distant point,
and over the greatest distance, on
which the Allies have yet been obliged
to draw.
The original number of sled dogs
brought to the Vosges from Alaska
numbered about 500. These have

there are hundreds of place which even
the light American cars with their
absolutely fearless collegian drivers
cannot reach, and it is in these dis |
tricts that the Alaskan dog team and |

come in for the bulk of the work. The |
Norwegian ski Corps. fully equipped |
for field ambulance work, volunteered |

Good roads always had a "com'

the automobile to make them a COM
mercial necessity for the town OF
city tina. hopes to keep pace with the
progress of its rivals. For the au-
tomobile twenty miles over good
road make q shorter distance than
ten miles over bad, or even an in
different one. The automobile will
make the twenty-mile trip over a
good road more economically than it
will the ten-mile trip over bad or
Indifferent one; more economically
as to the time and expense in wear
and tear of the machine. Hence a
town or city which sees rival pro-
viding itself with good roads without
doing anything to provide good
roads for itself is virtually surrend-
ering trade territory to its rival. 1t
is, as one might say, moving its Gus
toners over into convenient neigh
borhood of its rival Distance is
nothing, provided the road is good,
but something quite important, pro-
vided the road is bad.

WHAT ABOUT 1T?
Are You Doing Your Part to Help
Paper Boost the Town?

We quote the following pertinent
remarks from the Newton miss
Record, and refer the question
therein raised to the thoughtful con-
sideration of very patriotic citizen:
NEARLY everybody likes to see the
local newspaper boost the town and
community, and on the other hand
the live newspaper takes a pleasure
in doing so, not, however, because it
devolves upon it any more than any
other loyal institution to exercise
this prerogrative-but because it is
aware that it is in a position to do
so more successfully than any other
agency and as rule the paper is
progressive and public-spirited.
"But, do the people who like to
see the newspaper boost, give their
assistance by boosting the news
paper, Do they all speak good word
for the paper and it's hard worked
editor, and thus aid and cooperate
with him in pushing the town to the
front and keeping it there?' Or do
they knock the paper without any
real cause, or criticise the publisher
because of some Insignificant thing,
such as the omission of some little
personal or news item, concerning
them, about which he never knew?
ut is easy for the paper to boost
and preach for the town when it has
the cooperation and backing Of the
citizens Of the community, but is it
hard task to do it alone. When the
merchants and business men adver-
tise in the paper and attract people
and new business to town, thus A.
sisting not only in the expansion and
progress Of the town but in procur-
ing increased business for them
selves and the publisher ~ well, then
il is that the paper is given a real
oppo unity to boost and exploit the
resources and advantage Of the town
and county, without exaggerating in
the least. Then it is that the editor
takes real pride in telling the world
of what good town the paper is
printed in and what loyal, public
spirited people reside there; what
benefits will accrue to others who
cast their lot in the community, etc.
"-se newspaper will take the lead
and will do more than its part, if
you will do yours. The question is,
are you doing your part and CO.
operating?" .
