 SOuDiERS' TOBACCO FUND

TREADWELL, July 11.-Miss Hell en Nelson, daughter of the Tread well baker, had birthday coming up this week, and her sister Ethel, conceived the idea of putting on a theatrical stunt as fitting celebra tion to the occasion.

 An admission of ten cents was charged and the tent was crowded for some time with continuous performance, the box receipts show ing the neat sum of $17 collected which is to be turned over to the Soldiers Tobacco Fund. Many adults attended the entertainment who pro nounced the show well worth seeing
 The Misses Helen and Ethel Mel son are the two patriotic daughters who only a short time ago, raised $15 by the sale of buttons for the Red Cross, during the recent Red Cross drive.

DOUGLAS ISLAND TO BE STOCKED WITH MANY OF
 THE CHINESE PHEASANTS

DOUGLAS, July 11-Jack Pen glase, who has been raising Chinese pheasants for the past few years, re- ported another brood of eight matched out this week, all of which will be liberated on the Island this Fall, together with several other broods which he expects to come yet
 Chinese pheasants lay as high as 90 eggs in one season and bring of. several broods of chicks during the season. MT. Penglase states that three pairs of the birds with their broods were liberated in the basin above Douglas last season and that several people have testified seeing them while on trips to the ditch line and along the hills.
 Those who are familiar with this great game bird, of which there are so many throughout the northwest since brought here about 35 years ago, did not believe they would thrive In Alaska, but old-timers here say they do as well as the native birds.
 What with these birds and the showshoe rabbit put on the Island a few years ago by M. s. Hudson, many of the latter are being report cd on the Island. some of the finest game in the world will soon be ready for market. Hunters, however, should make 1t a point not to kill the pheasants or rabbits for few years yet and give them a good chance to become plentiful before hunting.

JAPANESE PREMIER
 DISCUSSES SIBERIA

LONDON, June 1.-The Daily Mail prints today an interview had by it's Tokio correspondent with Field Mar shal Count Terauchi, the Japanese pre- mier. The dispatch is dated May 23 Count Terauchi begged to be excused rom discussing intervention in Siberia, saying that the project did not orig nate with Japan"
 Replying to a question regarding a statement attributed to him concern ing the possibility of Japan seeking an alliance with Germany, Count Terauchi said that a purely hypothetical ques- tion was put to him whether a Ger man-Japanese alliance could be con- trived, and that he replied if a country found itself isolated and without the support of any ally it would be bound to consider an offer from another great power if it became a question of sur NiNal.
 He said the whole suggestion was hypothetical and had no bearing on { Japan's political intentions or desires. The idea would never have originated spontaneously with him

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING
 By H. s. Daniels
Advertising Mgr, Dort Motor Co.

A good product is the foundation of industrial and commercial success.
 Its reputation is the mortar that permanently holds the foundation to- gether.
 Advertising is the voice of the pro- duct and the sire of it's reputation.
 It fertilizes the soil where prospects grow.
 If it is frank and sincere it turns them into customers.
 Lasting benefits from it depend pri- marily upon the worth of the mer- chandise which it seeks to make known.
 They depend eventually on how clearly, tersely, forcefully, attractive ly and persistently the facts arc printed.
 Advertising is not salesmanship- any more than the granite corner stone is the completed skyscraper. Its func- ton is distinctive. Judicious advertising creates, in be. | half of the public. a favorable impress sion. Salesmanship clinches that im- pression and translates it into action.
 Advertising leaves the customer at the store door. Salesmanship begins there
 Men mind file" countless pictures every day. Re-impressed day after day, week after week, year after year, these pictures finally become as famil- far as the face of a clock. They are accepted as facts.
 Think of soap, of flour, of talking machines, of dozens of articles as widely varied, and a certain pat trade mark or slogan will immediately pre- sent itself to your minds eye. Why? Advertising did it-advertis- | ing that told and retold in respective mediums it's story-told it in crisp, sim pie, truthful phrase, strong, readable l type and -ertinent illustration.

The Finnish Red guard is the same
organization as the Russian Red

anarchistic organization. 1t is the
army of the revolution and much will

Red Guard Not Anarchists.
A serious disservice is being done to
the cause of world democracy by re-
ferring to the Red guards as reds
They are not reds as that word is
used in the United States. The red
flag is not in this instance a symbol
of Iawlessness and anarchy. 1t is the
red flag of freedom.
Opposed to the Red guard in Rus

guard represent conservative interests
who care little for real democracy
and who want the Germans to have
control of the Petrograd government,
because money-making might then
start up again.
The White guard, with their white

throes of a great democracy's birth.
They don't want to go thru the con-

prepared to accept a partly palsied
democracy to evade further trouble to
themselves.

PLEA FOR GERMAN
Jacob Frohwerk of Kansas
Called on Senate Carpet.
Explains Propaganda and Petit
tions to Congress.

Washington, March 5.-Investiga-
ton of the propaganda committee of
the Gern.an-American alliance was
taken up here by a senate commit
tee considering the bill to revoke it's
charter. Jacob Frohwerk of Kansas
City, Kan, president of the alliance
of that state, who testffies at his own
request was asked whether he had
knowledge of the propaganda COM
nittee which Senator King said had
offices at Indianapolis, Ind.
The propaganda committee, as I
understand it was only for the pur-
pose of furthering the teaching of
German in the public schools" he
said.
I'VE would like to keep and foster
the teaching of the German language
so that it would open to the American
children the great field of German
literature. We have always consid-
cred that as a matter of patriotism
the English language should be given
first consideration.
Frohwerk said that as president of
the Karcas Alliance he received many
communications from officials of the
national alliance urging that Kansas
members of congress be asked to SUD-
port any measures to stop the ship
ment of munitions to the allies.

to arrange for a provision in the ur-
gent deficiency bill to meet the situa-
ton.
No detail of the presidents plan
were given Senator Martin but ar
engagements were made to take up the
urgent deficiency bill in the senate to-
day ahead of the war finance corpor-
alton measure to expedite the def
cheney appropriations and also the
matter relating to the German docks.
