SEWARD HOME GUARDS WILL
 MEET T0NiGKT

Stewards Home Guards, the fins, ailitary unit to be formed in Alaska, is in need of recruits. The regular weekly drill will be held tonight at :45 o'clock at the Arctic Brotherhood hall.
 "l am very much surprised at the slim attendance at our driiis," said an officer of the Guards today. Here is the country in the midst of war, draft men being selected from Seward yet none of those liable to draft even ac- cept the splendid opportunity available md attend the drills and secure ad- vance military knowledge.
 "Practially all of the members of
 o Homc Guards who have gone out '1a aye now in the military seivic .a# ,!i are officers having learned t4 MsJ rudimcnts of the mil tary sys- .om in Sewald, took advantage of the j'i!ls, here. The drills here are the same as at the tr aiming camps. Here we have the same advantage of re. gGir soldiers owing to the presence )t the l4th Infantry detachment.
 Tt IS surprising that there are not it ,cart sufficient recruits to fill the
 u,;s of those who have gone to the ats and now in camps, on thqir way .oia front; or already there. Appeal aGtar appeal has been made to awaken hose of draft age to join the Home Guards. Recruits are however few md iar between, and no one has yet )aen able to fathom the reason. The Home Guards certainly furnish the op portunity that passes without ben, grasped,"

What "His Bit" Really Means.

AS first used in England, His Bit"
was intended to convey the impression
of "his ALL" but the term ''bit" as used
in this country rather minimizes the
task before us. Men think of one doing
"his bit" in n of smallness rather
than in a n of conservation of their
all. Let's find some new expression
stronger, more emphatic, more ALIEN
bracing, and yet not prOfane, which
conveys the thought that we must do

Kenzie Valley, living near Walterville,
Ore, recently brought to Eugene the
pelt of a huge black wolf trapped by

He caught 1t in two traps, set close
to each other, and the animal had both
broken and would have escaped soon
had Mr.. Fountain not arrived when he
did. There are several of these ami
