JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
THE YANKEE WAY.

When Yankee gets a-golng
Never there's way of knowing
Just how far hes apt TO travel
Or what deeds he apt To do;
Once his nmble feet get started
In a fashion that g whole-hearted,
He goes right about his business
And he sees his problems through
He's not ordered 10y chime clock,
And he hates 10 punch a time clock;
Though he likes bit Of leisure
He will work from sun TO sun.
When he starts upon missnon
He has only one ambition:
That's to do good job quickly
So he sticks until 1T s done.
Ianks are queer and curious Gus ses--
Seldom any YANKEE fuses
About how much he should carry
OF the load or what's his share.
II he sees a thing worth doing.
Or n Hun that needs pursuing,
He goes after IL with vIgor
Like beagle chasing hare
Even after YOU have told him
Where 10 stop, YOU cannot hold him.
Downed, he II try TO squirm life's football
For an extra yard or two;
And when one task is completed,
On the bench he won't bc seated
If another job corfronts him
'Tlat he thinks he ought tn do
When Iank goes into action
lie $ all fire and perfect traction.
Hes been trained To think and do things,
And If need he he can lead:
He goes after goals man-iashion
And he has one ruling passion
Which is summed up IN ms constant
And lnsistent cry for speed.
Rules and regulations vex him,
And the long delays perplcx HIM,
What he starts he likes to finish
Now he's out to get the Hun
And rather fancy, Willie,
That he II never quit until he
Can report to Mr. Wilson
That the Job IN band is done

each one what he could Some elderly
men who could not stand the heat Of the
day, organized twilight squads to work
in the evening. Women cooked, little
boys and girls carried water and peeled
potatoes. The Kansas wheat was har-

WOMEN SAVED CHOps.
In the vicinity Of Portland, Oregon,
crops of small fruit and berries were saved
by women. II was found that many mar
ried women were willing to work but had
to get back home 10 their children at night.
Accordingly, Brewer, the representative
Of the Department Of Agriculture out

of his seven years of non-accomplishment,

They're digging up the household

they re shedding silks and diamond

FISHING BOATS NAVIGATE THE
 COPPER RIVER

The mighty Copper river has been conquered. The navigation of this river which has taken such a trench. dous toll of lives since the early days, has been safely accomplished by mod ern methods and the trip was not even exciting. The Cordova Times tells of trip made by seven fishing boats in recent issue as follows:
 Down the Copper river from Mile 49. past Child's glacier, thru the rap- ids, and finally ending up at Orca was the experience of seven men, Tom Wallace, Carl Wick, Chas. Garves, L. T. Robbins, Emil Johnson, Charles An derson and Charles Johnson, who made this dangerous trip with two Columbia river fishing boats and five skiffs from the Northwestern Fisher ies fish chute above the bridge at Mile 49 to Orca cannery, arriving at the latter place Tuesday morning af- ter being three days on the road
 AAS SS'Sh bOotS tual NClS down had previously been carried to Miles lake on the train, but when fish ing for red salmon stopped, the men running them, in charge of Hub Bol- finger, decided that the boats could be brought down to Cordova cheaper by the river route
 One of the boats had an engine so the other six boats were tied to it and the adventurous party started out expecting to meet many dangers and delays.
 They passed Childs glacier with out being swamped by tidal waves caused by ice masses from the glac- fer dropping in the water. They hit sand bars at frequent intervals, caus- ing considerable delay, but all went as merry as a marriage until late in the afternoon.
 Then, just as the men were begin ming to feel confident the leading boat with L. T. Robins at the helm, ran into sand bar, the two boats im- mediate!y following piling up long side. The other four in which were four men, broke loose and continuing down the river were soon out of sight
 The men on the bar worked hard to get the boats free, but when they at last succeeded, night was approaching so they decided to stay on the bar un- til next morning. Then it was discov-

cred that the boats that had left them carried all the food and bedding. But they made the best of it and started out again early in the morning, hun gry and sleepy.
 Fifteen miles below they found the rest of the party and continued their journey without mishap to the mouth of the river.
 It was night when they reached op- en water and dense fog compelled them to lay on the flats again until it dispersed in the morning. It was somewhat rough around Cape White shed, but they finally reached the can, nery at Orca at o'clock.
 The trip is one which. heretofore has always been attended with con siderable risk, but the experience of these hardy fishermen show that the river can be safely navigated at any time with modern boats and equip ment

 So many people have strayed from the trail and got lost in the Broad nass district that an old trapper who has been seriously inconvenienced by being forced to pilot the lost voya- gers back to safety has erected a sign saying: This is the turmoil to Broad Pass.

LACK OF WORKERS
 AT RED CROSS

Where are all the Red Cross work CTS of Ketchikan, are they all out of town? Several months ago. material could not be purchased fast enough to keep up with the workers, now 1t is reported that the garments are stack ed up, all cut out. ready to be stitched and workers are at a prem ium. Last Wednesday only eleven workers reported. Thursday there were about twenty. but unless more are forthcoming, the splendid record made by the workers last year, will not be kept up.
 Fourteen machines are now avail able and these should be kept hum- ming all the time, whereas many times scarcely three or four are in use it is reported. What has happened to all of Ketchikan's patriotic women? Winter is coming on again and the big need of warm garments will be more pressing than ever, what with Uncle Sam's forces increasing every day For every soldier who enlists or is drafted there ought to be new work CT in order to keep up with the tre- mendous task of supplying knitted garments as well as hospital garments and materials. Behind the army should be the army of knitters and Red Cross workers. Ketchikan's ar my had better get together again, one worker suggested today.
