SANTA FOR SOLDIERS.
Kansas VIII Give Her Soldier Boys
Real Christmas

Topeka, Oct. 24-Kansas soldier
boys whether at the front or at the
training camps. are going to have a
real Christmas this year. The fathers
and mothers and sweethearts and
folks generally back home will act as
Santa Claus. A movement has been
started to see that every Kansas boy
IN khaki will have stocking full of
candy, nuts and other Christmas good
les. More than that, the boys will
receive articles of clothing such as
are given on Christmas and other gifts
of that nature. And on top of it all
mas cheer from the folks at home
{ Governor Capper is giving this
movement his enthusiastic support and
has issued the following appeal to
the people of the state:
TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS:
Quite aside from any feeling of
human kindness, it is of first impor-
tance to the. nation that the American
soldiers-our boys in France and in
the training camps at home-be kept
in good spirits. The morale of. the
army depends upon cheerfulness. We
are making soldiers of our boys-good
seldiers-but we are not turning them
into automatic fighting machines de-
void of human instinct and human
feeling. On the contrary, it should be
our object to surround the young men
in the army with every influence
which will tend to make a better citi-
zen and better man when he leaves
the army than he was when he enter
ed it.
His development will be in the
wrong direction if he gets the idea
that we shipped him off to do our
fighting for US and then promptly
forgot him. He must be made to feel
and know that the people Of Kansas
fully appreciate what he is doing for
us; that we believe in him and have
every confidence in his ability to make
good in war as he has made good in
Peace; that we are watching his prog
ress and are counting it a privilege to
honor and care for, if need be, those
whom he has left behind
He won't know this; he won't feel
it, unless we tell him and show him.
It is easily possible for a man to be-
come lonesome and homesick in the
midst of 10000 comrades. A letter
from someone at home, little token
of remembrance at such a time is
a God send, and it's value is not wholly
sentimental. I, therefore, urge Kansas

THE BOARD OF TRADE

Next 10 an efficient civic admin is,ration, live, active board of trade is the most valuable asset that a community can have. Many tities and towns owe their com- Terc:aI advancement and inviting appearance directly to the actiyi- ties of such organizations. That thev should receive the most loyal and hearty support of the merchant and the citizen surely must be very ory:cus to the man who takes the least interest in the development r' the district in which he lives.
 It is a well established fact that representations made by boards of trade carry more weight with civic, provincial and federal governments 0 'th railroads and corporations of every kind than any other single commercial body CT aggregation of citizens, and the history of civic advancement is in no small degree a record of the activitiesz of its Board of Trade.-The Penticton Herald.

On schedule apparently timed as accurately as that of q mod ern express train, says the Juneau Empire, Representative Nate H. CoombS of Council, reached Ju- neau yesterday just 25 minutes be- fore the opening of the Third Legis- latiVe Assembly. He and "Scotty" Allan came in on the Northwestern from the westward, "Scotty" em- barking at Cordova and Coombs at Seward.
 Representative Coombs made the trip across the so-called Long Creek trail, instead of going up the Yu- kon and Panama rivers to Fair banks and then across the overland trail tC Chitina. He left Council direct and travelled oyer the port Ige from Unalaklik to Kaltag and then up the Yukon to Ruby, out to Long Creek and then by way of Poorman, Cripple1 Ophir and Ia cotna to Anchorage. A short rest at the railroad town. and he hit for Seward, where he caught the Northwestern.
 Representative COombs expressed satisfaction oyer the favorable ac- tion taken by the courts on the Leg islative tax measures, particularly regarding the salmon fisheries.
 When we were passing the bill the lobbyists for the fish packers said |. was all right and very fine" he said. "As soon as it was passed they hit the wires to Wash ington 10 stop its going into effect. We realize that they figured the law would be knocked out as un- constitutional.

FATE OF FRENCH
 STRIKERS OF WAR

Pari7, - Tricks to avoid mili- tary duty have been varied rather than numerous during the war. The most recent strategem is that of two shirkers, unkonwn to each other, who hid in the woods to es- cape service. One Of them, a man named Souleillon, 32 years old, re- mained concealed from the begin ming ,.a hostilities in order to avoid the mobilization order. His father dying, Scueillon came out of hiding to lay claim to his parents estate. An alert gendarme at Cahors took him into custody, reminding him that before being an heir he had to be 8 soldier.
 The second case was that Of Al fred Rous, who took refuge in the forest of Reynaldes. Here he built himself a comfortable cabin with stones, branches and tiles. Be- hind his lodging place he installed an oven to bake bread. Possessing
 a rifle, two pistols and much am muniticn, Rous hunted and caught fish. Recently a young shepherdess seekin" a strayed sheep, surprised Rous. who was asleep. (Gendarmes were called, and aftr short fight the deserter was bound and arrest ed.

AEROPLANE SLED
 WAS ABANDONED

Juneau March 7-"Scotty' Al Ian, representative from the Sec ond Division, seriously considered making the trip over the winter trail from Nome to the coast with his aeropIane sled, and had there been caches of gasoline at suit able intervals along the trail, he would tave attempted it. According to the intrepid musher, and All-Al- aska Sweepstakes hero, the sled is a success. The sled is light and has a powerful 60 horse pow CT motor. With a toboggan bottom instead of the usual runners, the sled can travel over rough ground and doesn't need the beaten trail at all. It is at it's best when going oyer the snow tundra.
 According to the dog-musher, the sled could even travel in water If it did not stop, operating on the same principle as the Hawaiian surf boards, only deriving its power from an engine carried upon it.
 Representative Allan's trip to Chitiua from Nome took 27 days, considered a record although Scot ty" claims he didn't make unusual haste on the trip. He managed to break in seven pups to trail work on the trip. His leader was the famous "Baldy."

NEED MORE REVENUE FOR ROADS,

When a man passes through
many of the counties of Ken
lucky, he finds some good and
some bad roads. Naturally, he
wonders why all roads are not
good and if he will investigate
he will find that the reason is,
the lack of revenue. Because,
surely the county officials would
be glad to have all good roads
within the confines of their coun-
ty, but they cannot accomplish
the impossible and consequently
cannot build roads without mon
ey.
Traffic conditions have chang
ed and the people nov demand
more and better roads every
year but the road levy is not in
creased to meet the demand.
The price of labor and materials
has increased during the past
two years, but the road funds
have not been increased. A dol
