Before l tell you this brief tale,
Understand it's about sale
Z on must be there so do not fail.
The boys are fighting. "Over There"
Heroes, from your home and mine;
Red-blooded men doing their share,
In mud-soaked trenches, rain or shine.
Frank and Henry, John and Joe,
There some of them that you may know.
Say, this is certainly your chance
TO help those soldier boys
And when they hear of it in France,
Ny! Won't they shout and rejoice.
Perhaps some day we, too. may fight;
SO do your bit and show we're right.

The Man Who Wins


The man who wins is average mans
Not built any particular plan
Not best with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full of pluck.
When asked question he does not guess.
He knows and answers No or Yes;
When set a task that the rest can't do,
He buckles down till he puts it through.
Three things he's learned that the man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes:
That it pays to know more than thing we'll,
That it doesn't pay all he knows TO tell.
So he works and waits; till one bright day
There's a better job with bigger pay.
And the men who shirked whenever they could,
Are bossed by the man whose work made good
For the man who wins is the man who works,
Who neither labor trouble shirh,
Who uses his hands, his head his eyes;
The man who wins is the who tries.'

Baseless Criticism Of the Red

0sifnan Il De Wa Council Of The American Rcd Gro,

There is a propaganda going forth in this country
1t is German propaganda, and it is very prevalent
and fervent in the East more than in the West
and it goes much like this: "Did you know that Mr.
SoandSo told last night that Mr. So-and-so said
that Mr.. Soand-So had been told by Mrs. So-and-So
such and such thing about the Red Cross? OF

The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-04-05

Ninety per cent of the fishermen l talked with in Seattle during my stay in Seattle, who are fishing in this vic inity, are coming to Seward this sea- son to dispose of their catches and secure bait, oil, etc. 1 see that the city of Seward is trying to become a fish center and have purchasing agents here! Go to it, competition l5 the thing. But the people of Seward must ,lo something besides pedding hot air. They must not talk but must have something here for the fishermen when they come to Seward. The San Juan Fishing x Canning Company has a big business here and we are here for business. Anything Seward can do will not only help Us, help :he fishermen, but help the city also. But don't forget, ninety per cent. of the fishermen I talked with in Seattle, and that number represents nearly all ot those who have in previous years been in this region, are coming to Seward to sell and stock up."
 The above was the good news given to the Editor of the Gateway at mid night by H. O. Roberts, local mana ger of the San Juan Fishing & Can ming Go. MT. Roberts came in on one of the boats of the company from La Touche late last night and although tired out from hard days work and tedious trip, discussed the chances of Seward securing a share of the fish ermens business and to become a supply center.
 MT. Roberts gave the Editor some excellent points which will be taken up directly with Secretary James, of the Seward Chamber of Commerce and others who are to display some energy in getting something that >au be secured If a little pep and push is exercised
 Secretary James started things for the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and within the next day or two some most definite steps are to be taken.
 But while Seward was asleep at the switch. Mir. Roberts was busy in en- deavoring to bring business here and will succeed. But Seward can't sit back, but must get right up on her
