TIE MAN ~ THE Plo~

They sing about the glories
Of them behind the gun
And the books are full of stories
Of the wonders he has done;
There's something sort of thrilling
In the flag that's wavin' high
And it makes you want to holler
When the boys go narchin' by;
But when the shoutin's over
And the fightin's done,-somehow
We find we're still dependin'
s. On the man behind the plow.
In all the pomp and snlendor
Of the army on parade,
And through the awful darkness
That the smoke of battles made;
In halls where jewels glitter
And shoutin' men debate;
In places where the ruler
Deals out there honors great,
There is not single person
Who'd be doin' business now
Or have medals, if it wasn't
For the man behind the plow.
We're buildin mighty cities
Ard we're gainin' lofty heights;
Were winnin lots Of glory
Ard We're settin things to rights
We're a-showin all creation
How the worlds affairs should run
Future men II gaze in wonder
At the things that We have done,
And they'll overlook the fellow,
Just the same as We do row,
Who's the whole concerns founda-
ton
That's the man behind the plow,.

BARN DANCE TO
 INCREASE.FUND
 BY BIG AMOUNT

The barn dance given last night by the Panama Valley Agricultural Association for the benefit of the yarn fund was a huge success, both from a social as well as financial standpoint.
 At the entrance to the building those attending were greeted with the scent of newmOwn hay, which was scattered around the entrance. On entering the building the gaze was pleasingly met with by the flags and streamers comprising the decorations, which hung suspended from the walls and ceiling.
 At the far end of the hall the musicians stand was gaily decorat, ed and embellished with shocks of grain and hay. In many places around the hall were conveniently placed piles of timothy on which the tired CD dancers might rest and discuss the crop situation.
 lHS TelIesuIlleul uOOlh was oh ob tractive place and received a well deserved patronage. The chief bev' craze was punch served from bowl carved out of a cake of ice.
 "Saharah." the Occult Palmist, did a thriving business in telling the fortunes of the Rubes regarding the present years crops
 For the entertainment of those present, besides the dancing there was clog dancing, violin and Uku lele trio and four-minute speech by Theodore Johnson on timely subject.
 The receipts, while not excessively large, will make welcome addi tion to the yarn fund, over 130 tick cts being taken in at the door, and there are number which have been sold and were not presented.

BIG RALLY AT
 FOX SOLD MANY
 LIBERTY BONDS

For the purpose of holding a final drive in the sale of Liberty Bonds, the residents of Fox held a big rally there last Friday night. The Goldstream hotel was used for the occasion and was we'll filled by the people of the creek town and those of the neighboring places.
 E. A. Smith acted as chairman of the meeting, and after few ap- propriate remarks dealing with the Bond drive he introduced E. B. Col lins, the principal speaker of the evening.
 Mir. Collins covered the subject thoroughly and praised the people of Fox for the work they had done and the efforts they had put forth to purchase Bonds to their limit. But he said there was always a kick" left in every sourdough when he was thought to be down and out and as an evidence of his remarks he called on all present who had gone their limit and purchased all the Bonds they could handle. to imi tate the example of our President and take just one more," on the installment plan.
 His words were taken seriously evidently, for yesterday Johnny Metzger was kept busy from IL o'clock in the morning until iA the evening filling out Bond appli cations to be paid for on the instaii ment plan, and after having done their all'' the residents of Fox sub scribed just s2,250 more. The days Bond sales amounted to s2,350, and the total amount for the drive reach ed the magnificent sum of s8,950 Included in this total are the thir' teen $50 Bonds that have been raf fled off during the past week.
 A. A .Lyden occupied the platform with MT. Collins and made short and urgent demand upon the people He was very forceful in his argu ments and urged everyone to act upon the suggestion of the previous speaker.
 The evenings entertainment was brought to a happy close by reel tation rendered by Mrs. Collins. That lady's ability as an entertainer is recognized by the Fairbanks public and it is a safe prediction that she acquitted herself with honors.

Probably the first item to mention should be the amounts received by the local banks and the source from which they came. The report of the First National bank shows that the total subscriptions received came to the large sum of s327,55O and were derived from over 700 subscribers.
 A segregation of the sources was impossible to be had, the only defi- mite report received during the day being to the effect that from many places the following amounts had been received during the day: Brooks, s2O,0O0; Chatanika, s3,150 Fox, s1.S00; Hot Springs, 5000, and Tan ana, sS,0OO. It is reported that the amount to be received from Brooks will total in the neighborhood of s100,Oo0; that from Fox $500.
 The Farmers bank subscriptions came to s76,5O0 and the number of subscribers was 2S7. Of this amount s10,800 came from the Tolovana through the subscriptions of 62 per sons. The Boy Scouts returns to this bank amounted to s19,350. This is as close a segregated report as could be obtained at the close of business hours.
 THE BOY SCOUTS
 To the Boy Scouts must be given credit for making a really wonderful drive during the campaign. With scarcely week in which to work, they set to with will, securing all neighboring places and towns, and day by day added to their total until they had amassed the remarkable sum of s67,400, or a trif1e more than one-eighth of the grand total for

WAR MATERIALS UNDER CONTROL
 OF GOVERNMENT
(Associate Pre- ssl

WASHINGTON, D. C., May A. Information received here tonight from official sources says that every ton of pig iron and steel in the United States has been comman- deered for war purposes. It was also stated that any surplus remain ing after the governments war needs have been supplied will be distributed by the war industries board under strict government supervision.
 The government, it is admitted, communicated these materials sev- eerla weeks ago. The action was taken at the suggestion of the lead ing experts. of the country, who as serted that this was the only man. her in which the government could supply its war needs without serious ly upsetting market conditions.
 Every plant in the country has therefore been ordered to turn it's output over to the government and keep close track of all shipments to see that there is no evasion of the orders.

MESSAGE FOUND
 AFTER z YEARS
(Ass..ciated PIessl


 PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., May A. After being cast about in the waves of the ocean for about 22 years, a message from the ill-fated ship Ivan hoe >was picked up near here today by a fisherman. The message was enclosed in tightly sealed, sea- weed-covered bottle when it was found and was dated 1896.
 It stated that the steamer was sinking and that there was no hope of escape for any of the persons on board. Oldtimers of the Pacific coast remember the Ivanhoe as sailing into a heavy storm off Cape Flattery bound for San Francisco. The yes sel was never heard of again.

REPORTS
 MISTREATMENT
 ARE CONFIRMED
(ASsOciated PreAsN

tASSOC1ayeC treasN
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May A. State department officials are con- vinced that American prisoners held in Germany have been treated with extreme brutality and unwarranted dignities perpetrated upon them. In light of the repeated reports coming in and the evidence unearthed in the investigation which the depart ment has set on foot regarding Ger man treatment of prisoners. there is not much room for doubt about the guilt of the German government.
 But the evidence so far located cannot be considered absolute proof of mistreatment Until absolute proof is obtained the United States will refrain from taking retalatory meas. ures. It is believed that this proof will be forthcoming within short time.
 The first reports of ill treatment by the Germans were brought to America through press dispatches re- ceived from neutral countries. It was at first believed that there was no foundation to the rumors. but re- peated reports of similar nature caused the department to instigate quiet inquiry. which apparently reveals shocking treatment of Am ericans held in German prison camps. An extensive investigation is being made, and if the proof is conclusive harsh steps will be taken in retalia- tion, which it is believed will bring the German government to terms.

the entire district, and all in the town of Fairbanks.
 From the outlying districts, where the Scouts were not numerically as strong as in Fairbanks, the Boy Scout movement received enthusias- tic support, one Scout alone at Chat anika turning in in one day over s1.000 received from about twenty subscriptions
 OTHER ACTIVITIES
 To the town of Fox must go the credit for conceiving a novel method of boosting the sale of bonds, by the drawing method. The returns from this place alone amounted to sS950 and is fine showing for the number of people living there This method later was followed out by other places and was the means Of several thousand dollars being turned into bonds that would never have otherwise been circulated
 BRIEF SUMMARY
 The quota allotted to Fairbanks and its surrounding district was sS5,- 900. This amount came near being met by the subscriptions of the Boy Scouts, and had they a few more days in which to work, they would have met the quota.
 The total amounts reported by the banks come to s404,O50, which is exceeding by nearly five times the quota asked for, and only bespeaks the earnest desire of the patriotic people of Alaska to bring the war to a speedy conclusion. Estimating tfe population of the section in which this sum came from as being 5000. the per capita of the amount secured will be close to S67 50.

GERMANY MAKES
 AN AGREEMENT
 WITH HOLLAND
Associated Prass.

AMSTERDAM, May IA German newspaper agency at The Hague tonight issued statement declaring that complete agreement has been reached between Germany and Hol- land. It declares that all questions responsible for the recent crisis in relations between the two countries have been satisfactorily disposed of and that no further trouble is to be feared.
 While no official statement has been issued by The Netherlands gov ernment. the German claims have not been denied, and it is believed that at least the situation has been temporarily relieved.
 The difficulty arose over the de- mands of Germany to use Dutch railways and canals for transporta- tion of supplies into Belgium While certain of these supplies were for the civilian population, the nature of others was such that they might be easily applicable for military pur- poses. For this reason Holland re- fused to grant the demands unless the deliveries were carried out un- der the eyes of Dutch military commission. After several days of negotiations. during which a feeling of tension was noticeable, the Ger mans receded from their original demands and modified their ultima tum until it was acceptable to The Netherlands authorities.
