LIBERTY DAY
 NEXT SATURDAY
 BE CELEBRATED
The Schools and Civic and Other Bodies Will Co., Operate to Make
 It a Day.

Saturday, October 12, has been designated as Liberty Day by proc lamation of President Wilson. In his proclamation President Wilson says:
 "On that day I request the citi- zens of every community of the United States. city. town, and coun- tryside, to celebrate the discovery of our country in order to stimulate a generous response to the Fourth Liberty Loan, Commemorative ad dresses, pageants, harvest home fes- tivals, or other demonstrations should be arranged for fin every neighborhood under the general di. rection of the Secretary of the Treas ury and the immediate direction of the Liberty Loan committee in co operation with the United States Bu- reau of Education and the public school authorities"
 While no plans have been made as yet, Juneau will celebrate Liberty Day fittingly and properly" said Mir Behrends, of the Liberty Loan com mittee, this morning.
 The public schools in Juneau and throughout Alaska will cooperate with their communities to the ex tent of their ability in the celebra tion of Liberty Day"
 MT. Henderson received the fol lowing message from the United States Bureau of Education to the school districts in the mail this morning:
 "The Bureau of Education willing. ly responds to the request of the National Liberty Loan Committee to prepare program for community celebrations of America's Discovery Day, October 18th, and to cooperate throughout the Nation to help make them success. It does so, not only because it desires to render ser vice to the cause of democracy for the sake of which the people are again asked to buy bonds, but also because the celebration of this ami versary furnishes the opportunity to stimulate the practice of citizenship in local communities, which is the permanent aim of the Bureau in it's community center work.
 "As we hope that this war will mark the end of tragic misunder standing among Nations let us strive to remove misunderstanding among our neighbors in home communities. The surest guarantee of success in our effors to win a victory for dem. ocracy in Europe is the practice ol

COMMUNICATED

JUNEAU, Oct. 6.-To the Editor. The Colored people of this com munity are strenuously protesting against any exhibition in this town of the moving picture film entitled "The Birth of a Nation" The gray amen of their complaint is that this picture is a reflection upon their race.
 The writer of this communication thinks that the protest of these peo- pie should be needed. The film de picts events alleged to have hap pened in the reconstruction days of the South, when race of people who had just been freed from slav cry found themselves in position for which at that time they had had no preparation. It was period of great excitement and many things were done under the stress of that today
 That was sixty years ago, and from that time to this the Colored race has made wonderful progress and has on more than one occasion demonstrated it's complete fitness to be considered part and parcel of this great Republic, this melting pot of the nations. In this great war for Liberty, for civilization, and for American ideals, the Colored men are taking mems parts. He is mak- ing his sacrifice just as the white man is doing At the front he is fighting nobly and bravely-there are no better soldiers-enduring cheerfully pain. fatigue, sickness and wounds, and willingly laying down his life that the world may live in peace and that the horrible things inflicted on Belgium and France may not come to these shores, and col ored men and women, who cannot go to the war are not tagging behind but are doing their share in the work that is to be done at home.
 The exhibition of that film can not fail to stir up resentment in the breast of the Colored man that he should be held up to ridicule and scorn. Race prejudice Is foolish al all times for "a mans a man for a that'-it is too, always to be de plored, but in these times and under these circumstances, especially, al lovers of America should frown sin
 cerely upon it-for America need: the hearty cooperation, the undi vided allegiance, the united effects | of every race beneath the flag. This is no time to cast slure upon patriotic citiZens-no time to air difference. | of religion-no time to stir up re sentiment of class against class-i is time for but one thing ant that is to lick the Hun.
 The writer sincerely trusts tha the protest of these American citi ,ens will be needed. If to heet
 that protest entails pecuniary losi
 to the manager of the theatre fo | expenditures already incurred, i
 would be only fair that he be mad,
 whole, and I would gladly contribute

London, Sept. LA famous English

preacher, of an exclamation riming

were on board the Oronza when that
vessel was torpedoed while nearing

LET ann LIVE.

Below is poem reproduced from
the Mahonong (0hio) Dispatch. Ae-
cording to the story connected with
1t, the poem was evidently written by
someone in that section, presumably
a young lady. 1t was packed in a box
OF things sent to a soldier at the front
he returned the poem to his home
town to be printed, with the view Of
trying to discover the author:
As long as the flowers their perfume
give,
SO long I'd let the kaiser live.
Live and live for a million years,
with nothing to drink but Belgian
tears;
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the sailed brine of Scotchman's
curse.
would let him live on dinner each
day
Served from a silver or golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but something
to eat.
would make him bed Of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets of lace
And downy pillows, piled in place.
Yet, when to his comforts he would
yield,
1t would stink with the rot of the bat
tlefeld.
And blood and brains and bones of
Should cover him, smother him, and
then
His pillow would cling with rotten
clay,
Clay from the graves af the soldier
boy.
And while Gods stars their vigil keep,
And while the waves their white sands
sweep
He should never, never, no never
sleep
And through all the days, through all
the years,
There would be an anthem in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done,
From the edge of the light to the set
of the sun;
And would build him castle by the
sea,
AS fine as ship could ever be,
Laden with water, cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does he touch the silvered
sands,
Scarce may he reach out his eager
hands
Than hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch by the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more,
In mo Mans Land where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the kaiser a private hell.
I'd jab him, and I'd stab him, and give
him gas;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads whom he crucified,
In the fearful gloom of his living
tomb
There is one thing ! would do before l
was through:
I'd make him sing in stirring man
ner,
The wonderful words of "The Star
Spangled Banner"

If you can put gun on your shout
der, put a silo on your farm, and do
it this summer The need for silos
was never greater than it is today. 1t
takes fewer bushels Of corn or wheat
to pay for a silo today than before
the war. The profits from feeding
silage were never greater than now,
The silo will help to get the greatest
feed value from this vars corn crop.
The farmer who has no silo is paying
for one anyway by the loss he sustains
from a wasteful method of handling
his corn crop, and from the loss of
milk, fat and meat, which results from
improper feeding. To state the case
more clearly, says Mr.. Kreage, the
man who has silo and feeds silage
to his stock, win soon pay for the silo
from the utilization Of more food
which is contained in the corn plant,
and from the increased return in milk,
fat and meat. After silo has thus
been paid for, the farmer win con-
stantiy receive liberal profit.
