latter part of May, Henry b. F..
Macfarland, chairman of the finance

large and small, to the Red Cross
war service fund. indicating that
the people OF Washington continue
to bear in mind the necessity for
keeping alive the interest in the
fund. The finance committee greatly
appreciates the earnest efforts OF
those who are continuing their work
for the Red Cross right through the
summer. 1t Is felt that the majority
of Washingtonians realize the i'm
portance of the work of the Red
Cross and tho great need for unceas-
ing efforts to raise their share OF the
slOO,O0O,0O0 fund asked of the country
by President Wilson.

What is worthwhile man? Some college girls It IS said neither know Not so the coeds of the Uni versity of Cincinnati who have taken pains to announce their consensus of opinion Credit for standardzng the worthwhile man is mainly due to members of the literary society Several days ago they got together to decide Here the result embodyng the best collective opinion ot the varsity coeds:

PROTECTION FOR OUR COAL

The announcement made recently that the govern ment planning Alaska coal for the navy and that in order to deliver this to the sh ps work will be rushed from Seward to Turnagan with all possible speed by the railroad commission makes the protection of the terminal points at which such delivery will be made a necessity It would be foolish policy that provided for the development of vast region of supplies intended for by the navy and not make provision for its protection at the time To develop the coast fife Ids and build
 carrier for the product and leave them unprotected would be to invite attack from our enemies.
 The extent of the need of America for Alaska fuel is commented on by the Juneau Dispatch as follows:
 Half the thousand ships to be built for the merchant marine will be built the Pacific coast and all of them will require coal immediately after construction. The United States government before the was thought of required four hundred thousand tons of coal in the Pa cfic annually and it's requirements will be almost infinite ly greater now with all its new vessels The officials have

THE HIGHEST AWARD

How they do boast down in the First division! For genuine crust the following excerpt from an editorial anent moving the road commission in recent issue of the Juneau Dispatch is submitted as prize winner:
 The capital city is of course the proper place for the headquarters of any work which has all Alaska for it's province and the importance of Juneau in other senses makes it the logical" center.
 As cold matter of fact there is not the slightest doubt that this district the promising in all the ter ritOry The copper mines of the Copper river valley great the country to be served by the government rail road is rich and fertile and has magnificent future the Panama valley and the vast districts containing Ruby Idtarod TOlStO and the rest have only begun their careers the KuSkOkwim is immense and untouched Sew ard peninsula will develop resources of great wealth in years come but the First division of Alaska has all the of Alaska beaten by several blocks It has quartz than any of them it is the chief point the main route to the rest of the territory it is the capital the seat of government is the center and will be the Mecca of the fishing and fisheen it has the Juneau that began Alas ka and the Juneau that will be the greatest town Alaska and the center of the greatest district and finally the Juneau that will grow the heart of grows with the rest of the body"
 Yes, indeed all of that except
 The part referring to the First division beating the rest of Alaska by several blocks,
 The Third division paid over seventy per cent of the taxes paid by the whole territory.
 And, furthermore
 This little old territory is about 2OOO miles from east west and HOO from north south and for the less insignificant shoe string section lying south of Mails pima glacier to set up such claim smacks considerably of the tail attempting to wag the dog
 However,
 After declaring ourselves in favor of awarding a medal to each division for the energetic development work accomplished by it's citizens in spite of government red tape and the hardships natural in any new land,
 We hasten to hand
 The highest award
 To the First division as possessing
 The most colossal nerve.

always been of the belief that Alaska coal could be mined and shipped to the Pacific coast states cheaper than good coal can be shipped from the east There is no steang coal in the west and Alaska coal is equal to the best m the east.
 he fact suggested by all this is that the Alaska coal mines must soon be opened large scale by the govern ment particularly that the railroads ot the country arc taxed to the utmost to meet the calls made upon hem The government railroad will be entirely completed this year to the Matanuska coal fields and may expect to see Alaska coal shipped south by the hundreds of tho ands of tons"-( Fairbanks CitiZen)

ABOUT THE DRAFT

The list of names printed
elsewhere is as nearly correct as
we have been able TO get il,
though 1t is not official and
there will doubtless be few
errors. In the main. however,
1t is correct, and from this list
the l64 men from this county
will be selected by the count,
exemption board. Messrs. |. p.
Mangum. Walker Duvall and
DIR. J. II. Harden constitute the
board, and the meetings will be
held AT The county seat. The
lists will be verified, and notices
will be mailed to each man who
IS TO appear before the board for
examination. These notices will
give the date and place for the
examination, and seven days
Will be allowed for filing claims
tor exemption. These notices
will not be mailed until the
board meets and canvasscs the
lists, Thursday orlriday or per
haps later. The men will be
called in the order the names
are printed in this paper. The
first name may be called number
one, the second number two, etc
on through the list of five hun
dred and fifty nine names given.
The first three hundred and
twenty.eight will probably be
included in the first call, but if
is improbable that the couIdy's
quota OF l64 men will be sccur-
ed from this number. liz that
case others will be called until
the number is secured. In the
opinion of the writer five hun.
dred or more will be required in
this call as the per cent in this
county of married men with dc
pendents is high
The man who can not find his
name in the list published today
NAV be reasonably sure that he
Will not be called in the first
draft. However, a second, "nd

A. F. Kerensky, the man Of the
hour in Russia, has been given
dictatorial powers to bring order
out Of the chaos resulting from
disaffection in the armies and
among certain classes of the
people. The Russians have
been loosing in the battles of
the last few days, following
the brilliant victories in the
campaign inaugurated early
in July by Kerensky. He has
again hurried to the front, and ii
is hoped he will again be able to
put the soldiers in a fighting
mood. The situation in Russia
is serious, but by no means
hopeless.

The Journal is pleased to note
the absence of i'll feelings IN the
controversy between Jefferson
and Pageland relative to the
location of the proposed east TO
west State highway from Ches-
terfielc to Lancaster. The wri-
ter has talked with more than
one Jefferson citizen recently,
and apparently the people there,
as here, are willing to abide by
the dicision of the highway Of
tlclalS when the matter has
been thoroughly thresh ed out
"Of course we want the road"
said one Jefferson man, "but if
we fail to get it well have no
grudge against Pageland." Ex
actly the same spirit is manifest
here. We want the road be
cause we think this is for many
reasons the proper route. but we
DO not want ii to keep Jefferson
from getting it. We hope the
same good feeling may continue
to exist.

Gloomy pictures are being drawn

Of fodder exports from America. The
acuteness of the position has been en-
HANGED by the poor hay crop, and the
small farmer in particular is faced

According to the well-informed agri-

great distress and cattle are growing

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 10
1t is entirely likely that within the
near future either former Congressman
G.. G. Edwards, of Savannah, of Colonel
Stephen NJ Sparkman, of Tampa, the
latter for many years chairman of the
house committee on rivers and harbors
ur til he retired last March, may be ap-
pointed on the recently created water
ways commission. The last river and
harbor bill provided that thish commits
ton be authorized, the salary of the
commissioners being $4,000 year.
MIR. Edwards has been recommended
or place on the commission to
President Wilson by members of the

The friends of Colonel Sparkman are
also at work.
