KEEPING BUSINESS NORMAL 7

We are asked by our Government, as a vital prerequisite to the mammoth undertaking in which we are engaged, that we do our utmost to keep business normal The request is broad one and comprehends the whole scope of human character. in the concrete as we'll as Tn the abstract; individually as we'll as col lectively.
 It is incumbent that we use energy and industry This, though, the exlgen- cies of the times insure. The demands for the products of our industry are so great that none but the hopelessly sloth- ful consent to remain inactive. The pres sure of human needs can generally be re- lied upon to guarantee corresponding outlay of energy and industry.
 But there are other equally as impor- tant human characteristics that must be considered, and among these we must give first place to unsefishness as oppos- ed to self interest. We must learn to think in the mass, rather than as individ uals We must learn to shape our ac- tions in the light of the public veal, rath- CT than in that of the individual. The temptation is great for spirit of selfish ness and greed to dominate our lives. The opportunity was never greater loi men in all lines of endeavor to make killings" and feather their nests,' but we must bear in mind that this will al- ways be done at the expense of the indus trial health of the masses. In plain words, what we get out of the present conner cial conditions will be true gauge of our character The man who emerges with unduly swollen bank balance may know in his heart of hearts that his country has been second in his thoughts and actions. It is the man whose entire thought and actions have been devoted to sustaining the commercial life and strength of his country, who will have the satisfying knowledge that he has measured up to the standard of a MAN.
 By their fruits ye shall know them was never more applicable than in the present emergency.

THE KAISERITES.

If you peddle the lies and the whispers Which come from an enemy lair If you knock the army navy You're doing your best to tear The stars from the blue of Old Glory And hinder our men in the fight To put the matter quite plainly, You rank as kaiserite. If you listen to sore-headed knockers When they slur this big hearted land If you listen with never protest To one of that pro-German band If you don't call him down and inform him That you know his stand isn't right, You're not ed-booded American, You're close to kaiserte If you don't talk up for the country And boost for old Uncle Sam If you knock the Red Cross and it's efforts If you give food saving slam If you listen to lies about Wilson, You can take it from me-get it right You ought to be kicked from the country It's a cinch you're kaiserite.

CONCERNING EXEMPTIONS.

When the selective draft law was passed and the government began the mo- Utilization of an army, many Wre the pre- dictions that 1t would meet with bitter op position from the people. Members of Congress even were heard to remark tEat they would not choose between being d conscript and being convict But c1n- trary to all such gloomy views, the work has been going smoothly on and the pec- pie have quietly adapted themselves to the laws requirements, till now the calling of men under it's provisions is regarded as mere matter of course
 The selective draft law is signal ylc- tory for sound government It recog- niZes the fundamental fact that man os.es debt to government, and is bound = pay that debt on demand-that there can be no exemption so long as the man him. self is physically and mentally fit to pay Nothing but physical or mental unfitness can exempt any man from the obligation
 But isn't there a further obligation resting upon the beneficiaries of govern ment? Is life and personal service all of the debt?
 Getting down to the gist of the ques- tion, If the government has the right to demand the services of your son, has it not the right to demand the services of your dollars as we'll? Is property more sacred in the eyes of the law than life? Life and personal service alone can never win the war These must be backed up and sustained by the money and means of the nation But is the burden to fall entirely on the government of raising these means of SuStenance?
 Before many more months of this war have passed, the people of this country are going to be rudely aroused to the fact that, viewed in the light of justice and right, NOTHING should be exempt Life is the most sacred of our possessions Yet life is demanded by our government, and we see no injustice in the demand But as soon as our precious dollars are demanded we raise holy howl.
 Our government is fighting for it's ex- istence. The life and death struggle is now going on, and shall any citizen of this government dare to claim that his country has not the right to his last dol lar It that should be needed to-insure vic tory?
 So long as the bond issues of the gov ernment are readily subscribed, however. indications are that that means will be taken to finance the war Should these issues fail of subscription the real test as to the ultimate authority of government will come

SET ADRIFT, DISCOVERS LAND
Priest, Offending chlef, Saved Life
and Later Returned With Story
of Interesting Find.

New Zealand is Maoriland, the home
or most interesting race. About one
thousand years ago there lived on the
isle Hanaiki the forefathers of the
Maori. One of their priests, Te Kupe,
relates writer in the Mississippi
Blaetter, had Offended the chief, and
to prevent his being killed his friends
sent him, provided with provisions
enough to last some time, adrift over
the sea in canoe Home and friends
he you'd never see again, he thought,
and by his people he was mourned as
one dead TO the'joy of the islanders
he returned after j. months, giving
them a glowing description Of the
wonderful land he, had discovered. HIS
Information caused stirring aglta-
tion, and in short time seven canoes
were fitted out by tile natives TO sail
TO- the land of apromise and settle
there. l. afe,
Te Kupe was leading in the first
canoe across the wide sea, and on
their landing, to honor him, called 1t
"Aeteoroa New Zealand.
"The seed of our race comes from
Hanraiki" said missionary, and
there can be no doubt about the orr
ginal dwelling place and that the
present Maoris are the descendants Of
those who sailed centuries ago from
Hanraiki.

COMPARES MEN WITH TIRES
Philosopher Asserts That the Impor

"The more ! have to do with auto

''the' better / understand men. There
Is no limit to the comparisons that
might be made but let rue ask your at
tentiOn for just one Of them. 1t turns
upon the way they come TO an end,
men and tires alike.
"On my little roadster may have at
one and the same time two tires Of
such different character as this:

good for lot of work. But its healthy
appearance is deceptive: 1t has
vast number Of well hidden decayed
cells
They began to go separately, not In
masses. No one part of that tire wore
out all by itself The whole thing has
been slowly subtly honeycombed with
wear.
"The limit is reached suddenly. The
end, prepared for slowly and in the
dark, comes swiftly; and it is very
complete end. The tire is n goner, the
doctor can do nothing for it.
"Some men end like that; seemingly
vigorous one day; and the next day,
on the scrap heap.
And then there are tires and men
that go the other way. They seem
worn and weakened, but they are
sound inside. The shell goes first, The |
inner tube retains its usefulness. You |
know they are going, but they always |
seem good for another days work, an
other hundred miles. They will stand
a lot of patching.
Tires are mighty human, and that's
why ! really enjoy fussing with them"

SHORTAGE or FISH
DELAYS The MAIL
Scarcity Causes CurtaiIment Of
Motive Power by Which
Mail Is Carried in Alaska.

Shortage Of fish is interfering with
the mail in Alaska. On account OF
their scarcity, the motive power by
which the mail is carried in that cold
territory is curtailed. An abundance
of fish, according to report to the
post office department, is essential to
the prompt delivery across the region
of Ice and snow, and necessary sup.
ply is not to be had.
The mail carrier out from Anchor
age, Alaska, wrote to the department
under the date of March 25, 1918:
"Your letter of February 27, 1918,
is at hand, and notice the late ar
rivals of mail as indicated in same,
The whole trouble is on account OF
my dogs. l was unable, and still am,
to get fish for them as it is not to be
obtained in the country. The dogs l
use on this mail are wolf dogs that
have been worked on fish all their
lives. 1t is almost impossible to change
from a fish diet to cooked feed and
work them. l have done the best 1
could to keep this mail moving and
have had to stop and rest my dogs sew
eral times while the mail was in trans
1t as they would not stand it.
All OF the late mails were caused Oh
that account. have man
aged, however, to keep this end (Sew-
ard-Anchorage) running on schedule
