The Skagway Woman Christian Temperance Union in August 1917 adopted a little French girl, Helene Marie Poplin, whose father was killed in the war, and the time has come for the readoption of Helene which costs 1Oc 8 day or $S6.SO d year, a like sum being given by the French government for the support oF French orphans.
 The local treasury is not sufficiell for this sum and call is now made for skagway people to help in this great war work, g mite box for contributions will be found in liar ris2n's tore where those interested may drop their nickels, dimes or dollars.

Garden for invalid.

If you have an invalid friend, you can make her garden that she will enjoy for a very little money. Buy a small gold fish bowl and have a piece of glass to fit over the top.

YANKEES PUNISH
 HUN" TREACHERY

London, Sept. 1S.-The Germans fare finding out that it doesn't pay to be savages when they're fight ing Americans.
 Because they're finding out that if they insist on being barbarians' tbe Americans will treat them as parbarians.
 The fame of "The American Way''--as this unannounced put very much in force policy is called is spreading.
 | English, French and Italian news papers are talking about it, and you hear it discussed everywhere.
 To put what these papers call the American way" in Yankees own lingo. it means the Germans can't get away with that Hun stuff with us!"
 Here are two instances of how The American Way works:
 A German machine gun nest was hidden in 8 ruined church at Ser gy. in the Marne battle, and the Red Cross flag flew from the steeple. The Americans respected the flag. They advanced in the open until they got up close. Then tue Huns machine gun moved them down. The Germans there's where the American Way" comes in) paid for that trick so dearly that it hasn't been tried since.
 Near Sergy also, Americans were advancing on nest of machine guns which kept peDDering away until the Americans got within about 200 yards. Then the Ger mans made surrender signs and the American coolly came on, to take their prisoners. Close up the rreacherous Germans opened fire.
 They paid. .r,- <
 This does not mean that the A ueTlCa0S are UOL CLSShu AAoASSlS' 'N they aren't "soft." The Germans can't use treachery and saVagery aud enjoy immunity. They pay for every trick.
 Remarking on how cleanly the A merican fights, the London Eve ning Standard adds: But he is dangerous person to play monkey tricks with, and when he gets real peeved' the other party is in for an uncomfortable time. The Americans have fought savages be- fore" r- ' I-l
 English, French mad Italian pa pers all appear to like "The A merriam Way" France meets de- liherate infringements of the rules ot war in much the same spirit But the British Dapers say the British soldiers do not, and they want "The American Way" adopt ed without delay.

AMERICANS REFUSE
TO MAKE RETREAT
"We Are Going to COunter-Attack"
Declares American General, Ig-
nOring Counsel of the French.

Paris. July 1--WE regret being
unable on this occasion to follow the
counsel of our master, the French, but
American flag has been forced to re-
tire. This is uncomfortable and none of
our soldiers would understand their
not being asked to do whatever is ne
cessary to reestablished situation
which is humilating to us and unac-
ceptable to our country honor. We
are going to counter-attack.
This was a message sent by an
American General in command of
American forces south of the Marine
Monday afternoon after the Germans
had succeeded in forcing the Ameri-
cans back toward Comde-e Brie.
The French commander informed
the American General that the early
German success could not have any
great effect on the fate OF the battle;
that it was understood perfectly that
after hard asked to do whatever is
necessary to retired and that 1t was
not expected that they Immediately
launch a counter-attack.
He added that punter-attack
could be postponed without risk and
1t might be better to give the Amer
lean troops an hours rest.
Immediately after the American
General sent the above message,
which Is quoted by the correspond
ent of the "Matin," the Americans
launched the counter-attack, and the
lost ground was soon recovered, with
an additional half mile taken from
the Germans for good measure.

BASKET WILLOW PROFITABLE

Several times in years past we
have called attention of our farmers
to the fact that good money could
be made with little effort by plant
ing a patch of basket willows along
the branches or creeks on their
farms Land for this purpose can be
utilized that can be used 70 rno other
purposes in crop growing, An in
stance of the value of basket willows
was furnished us only last week, whe/
we were informed that f.. II. Rigg,
who recently bought farm in Ohio,
had patch of basket willows on the
premises which he cut and sold for
$200-quite snug sum. This willow
is always in demand at good price
and If ever introduced in this county
will bring our farmers many thous-
ands of dollars additional to what
they are now realizing on their lands

PLUMBERS ARE WANTED
FOR IMPORTANT JOBS
Kentucky Is Asked to Furnish Fifty
Men to DO Lead Burning ut Salary
of One Dollar an Hour.

State Director Frank L. McVey OF
the t. s. Public Service Reserve sent
out call to all of the County Chair
men yesterday for Lead Burners
Kentucky has been allotted the task of
securing fifty.
Lead-burners are used to build lead
tanks for chemical companies ana the
like. The edges of a tank are are
brought together and scrapcd bright,
a strip of frightened lead is placed
back of this joint and then with a
torch the operator melts little strip
of bright lead into the joint about as
one would use strip of soft solder
1t takes great deal of practice and
experience to burn the edges of the
tank and the reinforcing strip toSeth-
or without actually melting the lead
so it runs out. The most difficult fea-
ture of lead burning is to melt an
overhead seam together, for in this
case the heat must be just exactly
sufficient to melt the lead or it would
run and drop to the floor. Tho work
that is being done now does not re-
quire this overhead work and good
many of the old time plumbers can
do lead burning.
An exceptional opportunity is Of
fered men capable of filling this posi-
ton which pays one dollar an hour.
The demand for lead burners Is urg-
ent and we hope that any person ca
pable of accepting such a position will
get in touch with Secretary Dodds at
the Chamber of Commerce Al once.
The Department of Labor has also
called on this office to furnish appli-
cations of men who want to be in
Quoted into the military service or
who want to enlist in the military SER
| vice, as follows: For induction or
enlistment: An indefinite number OF
refrigeration engineers, steam enei-
ncers, chemical workers not chem
ists), electricians. All but refrigera-
ton men, chemical men and steam
men are for Lakehurst, New Jersey.
This requisition is probably the fore
runner of one which will soon come

CHILDREN MUST
Be FURNISHED
PLAY GROUND
Children Of the Cities Should BE
Given Some Spot in Which They
Could Develop Themselves
During Play Time.

The American City, a publication
dealing specifically with Civic pro-
blems, contained a very interesting
article by Henry S. Curtis PHI d. this
month on Fairgrounds for children.
He says:
among all primitive people child
hood is spent mostly in play. But dur
ing the past half century most coun-
tries have made EDUCATION free and
compulsory. The rapidly expanding
field of knowledge has offered larger
and larger tasks and children have
been loaded with burdens such as
they never before We're called upon
to carry. The public in general has
appreciated the value of the educa-
ton that has come through the school
but it has not appreciated the value of
the natural education through play
which ii has replaced The result
has often been that the children have
been drivn and goaded until there has
been little of the freedom and Joyous
mss of childhood left. Child study and
the new psychology have brought a
new point of view. We have discov-
cred that it was not by chance that
nature implanted in the young of all
animals this impulse to play, but that
it is, in fact, Natures instrument a.
training. The uninitiatcd public has
always confused play with idleness or
exercise and most play is apt to be
noisy and troublesome to parents. 1t
uses up clothes, brings no financial
return, and seems to have no rela-
ton to making a living. Most parents
have been blind to its physical, educa-
tional and social results.
People are often Indifferent to play
grounds because they do not perceive
the effect of the lack of play upon the
children. Hence if a playground as
ISOLATION or a city would go forward
and really create a system of play
grounds and recreation centers, the
public must be educated to the need
OF the system. In America the peo-
pie are king and no measure can be
successful that they do not believe in
or that they accept only in a half
hearted manner.
play movement was begun in New
York City by getting one hundred
clergymen and seventy-fve Jewish
Rabies to preach on the subject on
a particular Sunday. The tubercu-
losis movement now has special
Sunday in very large part of the
churches Child labor also is often
given day. The play movement has
at least as good a claim to the pulpit
The new interest in social service
which is permeating the church
should make this easier now than it
has ever been before. Public recre-
alton is more nearly connected with
public virture than is either tubercu-
losis or child labor. Undoubtedly, al
so, the social spirit which grows out
of common play is one of the chief
springs of the feeling of good fellow
ship and love which the church is
seeking to promote.

of strict regulations for the conser-
walton of the free water use by and
under the orders of city departments
other than the water department.
The systematic house to house in
spection for leaks and waste which
is carried on daily in st. Louis. year
in and year out has kept the average
daily per capita consumption below
that of many of our larger cities.
Compared with the 400 gallons used
at Buffalo, the 259 at Chicago. lac at
Philadelphia and 16S at Detroit, 1913 at
st. Louis appears to be moderate
But Cincinnati, Milwaukee. Cleve-
land. Boston, Providence and others
make much better showing, ranging
in the order names from 12G to &c gal
Ions. 1t Is significant to note that all
cities having an average daily per
capita below 100 gallons have so per
cent or more of their services meter
ed.
The only effective and economical
method of reducing water waste and
leakage to minimum is through the
general installation of meters. The
results attained will be permanent
and the meter will economically act
as an inspector perpetually on the
job.
