It is the concerted effort which shapes the homogeneous mass to per lection.
 By keeping your money at home you add to your power to create more money.
 Sending it away weakens the civic structure by drawing from its reserve wealth.
 Great cities in the States arise from the efforts of their neighbors, who concentrate their wealth reserves at certain centers, securing in return those requisites civilization demands.
 If you would see great city on Valdez Bay you must first lay the foundation for success by gathering together a great people.
 Then by concerted effort; by CO., operating and coordinating: by com binations of trade and using our mon- ey to advance our own interests we will achieve the goal of success.
 Trading at home is the keystone which binds the civic arch.

 tMo Him to Lieutenant.

Among the members of the Indiana university ambulance corps at Allen town. says the Indianapolis News. there is one man who from this time on will require, while on guard duty. any person whom he challenges nt night to furnish his full pedigree. There is q reason.
 Recently while the section was on guard at the camp this man was stu toned at distant post on the grounds. at a place where the guards experience a great deaI of trouble with men climbing the fence during the wee hours
 Shortly after one o'clock in the morning the guard saw a man climb Ing thr fence. He hurried up. chal. lenged the man, and asked for m ex- planation. It was forthcoming.
 "Well." said the challenged one. ! you are to be congratulated. l have been coming over this fence every night for q week and l have never been challenged before. would like you to give me your narne and your section number, and l will report you to your lieutenant"
 In a daZed nanDPr the guard did so and ,hc nimn walked of. Not until he was "kldled" by his section mates on telling the story did he fall for his being duped. He Is now on the trail of the man whose ingenuity saved himself.

Cotton in Brazil.

A. l.. Moreau Gottschalk. United States consul general at Rio de Jan eiro, is enthusiastic over the prospect of a revival of the cotton growing in- dustry of Rrazll, according to the San Francisco Argonaut.

Cotton thrives In the country when skilfully cultivated. but the industry has thus far been neg fected for others more profitable. The consul general advances strong point when be says that a by'product of the cotton -cottonseed oil cake would be a great help to the cotton raisers.

FALL IN AND KEEP STEP

VALDEZ, with it's many natural ad- vantages, fine water, slightly homes, and splendid location on the beauti- full Valdez Bay, ought to take advan- tage of those opportunities which make a healthy and happy city.
 The foundation is here to build up on; whether the superstructure of prosperity shall be built depends on her people-upon the unity of pur- pose of her loyal citizens.
 If all will join hands and push and boost, Valdez will realize the place which rightfully belong to her and take that place among the towns of the territory.
 VALDEZ will rise when her people are determined that she shall--when local pride triumphs over narrow, pet ty, personal concerns and when the energy of all is merged to accom- plish something for the general good.
 Valdez will grow when every citizen makes a resolution to always buy ev- erything they need from local con cerns.
 Always keep in mind this fact; it is the individual effort that goes to make up the whole-yours and mine.
 Be patriotic, be loyal. be progress sive. Don't be a laggard-FALL IN AND KEEP STEP with the progress of Valdez.
 THE city is the natural supply de- pot of a large mining field. The wat CTS adjacent to the city teem with herring and salmon. Clam beds can be found of great dimensions; halibut and cod abound. We are so used to these things that we pay little atten- ton to them.
 THEY are the natural sources of the wealth which go to build up the fortune of the man who keeps his eyes open for Opportunity.
 She is crying at your door; en- trance is denied her.
 The difference between the human and the ape lies in the brain.
 By using the brains benedcent Creator has endowed him with, the genus homo has become superman a supreme being with creative pow CTS only excelled by the Creator, from whose image man was formed.
 The territory is heavy with natural wealth. It Is yours for the taking.
 But to reap the greatest benefit you must patronize those who patronize you.
 Man cannot live alone. nor can he arise to any eminence of power un- aided.

Kaiser's American Dentist Returns Home and Talks
 of Conditions in Empire

An Atlantic Port. February 1s.-Dr. Ar thur M. Davis of Piqua, O., who was dentist for Emperor William of Ger many, returned to America today on a neutral steamship. He said he left Ger many on January p, having been allowed to cross the border on military pass personally signed by the Emperor.
 pr. Davis asserted that the Russian situation was the foremost topic in Ber lin when he left, and the developments at that time had caused great rejoicing. He declared the food situation in Ger amny was not so horrible as had been reported.
 The fact that the United States is in the war and sending troops to France is. of course, generally known among the German people," Dr. Davis contin- ued, but they do not appear 10 take the United States unkindly Rather they do not seem to believe that America is se- riods. They still have faith in the sub marine, but they are not so enthusiastic over the U-boats as they were a~ysar ago.
 { He added that there were about 2O Americans still in Berlin They were not interned, but were required to report to the police authorities daily. Neither are they permitted to leave the city, and consequently know but little of what is going on elsewhere.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

!. CORBETT
 So John L. had to wait for his chance against Donovan until February, lsSo when Donovan againt went to Boston, and took on all corners in exhibition bouts. Meanwhile John L. had fought and whipped four men of more than fair repute in Bostonian fight circles. 4 Sullivan went to Donovan and said:
 1T want to learn more about this fight ing game. No one around here can teach me any tricks. Will you do it?''
 Donovan consented and took on John L. in an exhibition sparring bout. Mike had a trick of going in at a man with his head down. He tried it once on John L. and the ''Strong Boy" landed on the back of Mikes neck with fearful force. Then he said to Mike:
 If you come in at me like that again I'll hit you and break your neck
 Mike believed him.
 It was a case of a master ring man against a novice with wonderful strength. The former triumphed. But Mike never has forgotten that affair nor the wallops which the burly youngster delivered. After it was over Mike de- clared:
 That boy is fighting wonder. In two years he'll be able to whip any man of his size in the world"
 The prediction of Donovan came true.
