is the only volunteer organization now authorized by our government to render assistance to our land and naval forces in time of war. Any other society wishing to render sinh lar aid can do so only through the American National Red Cross. There fore, when we consider the merciful work being done by the Red Cross, and the magnitude and generosities of this wonderful organization, it should be our particular pride, in dividually and collectively, to do all in our power to help, no matter what the cost, both in dollars and energy.
 By giving cheerfully and gener- ously to the Red Cross, we are ma terially helping our government, and assisting in the maintenance of the most deserving organization in the world today, one that knows no color or creed, and has for its objective only love and sacrifice for fellow man.
 And, now, in conclusion, I wish to thank the ladies of the Nenana i Branch of the Red Cross for this opportunity to express the few thoughts which to me are para mount, and to thank the audience for its courteous attention, and, Last but Not Least:
 Everybody, Don't Forget to Do Your Bit, and "If You Can't Go Across, Come Across"

KE1CH|KAN LOSES
 AS CUSTOMS PORT
New Port of Call Will Be Estab- lished by Government Near
 Canadian Boundary.

SEATTLE, May 25.-The town of Ketchikan is scheduled to lose pres tige as the first call in Alaska and a considerable portion of the busi- ness enjoyed by the people of that prosperous place also may be di- verted as the result of the decision of the government to establish a custom house, school and postoffice at Nakat, a village five miles north of the Canadian boundary. This action is to be taken to accommodate the finishing interests in that region.

SUBSTANTIAL SUM
 fOR RED GROSS

As chronicled in these columns yesterday the Cabaret function held at the Nenana club rooms on Thurs day evening last brough in the sum of S221.O0. The club was reim- bursed in the sum of S4065 for cigars, cigarettes and all the other refreshments supplied by them, leav- ing the tidy sum of S180.35 to swell the funds of the Red Cross.
 The hearty thanks of the local Red Red Cross committee are hereby ex- tended to the following gentlemen for work done and supplies received toward this most worthy cause: : Sam Comfort, for janitor service; i; Pete Schmit an N.

RUBBER |S TAKEN;
 RED CROSS LOSER
Box of Old Pacs, Laid Aside Fo, Red Gross, Looted by Unknown
 Parties.

It is not often that one is found in a community so mean as to steal from the Red Cross. And it is more surprising still to find such a per son in Nenana, where everyone may work who will. That there is such a person here is indicated by the fact that a quantity of old rubbers which had been laid aside for the Req Cross collection, being gathered by Postmaster Love, were appro- priated by some night prowler for personal gain.
 The rubbers in question were in a large box which had been placed near the tennis court by employees of the Commission. The contents in cluded discarded pacs and other articles of footwear partly or wholly made of rubber. The pacs were {. horn of their rubber and the tops,, of no value whatever, left for the Red Cross.
 Mrs. Love is much wrought up over the disappearance of the rubber and will greatly appreciate it. re- turn, or the apprehension of the guilty party. The stolen pacs were part of a consignment of discarded articles which will be sent to Red Cross headquarters in Seattle on an early boat. ..

LARGE AUDIENCE
 ENJOYS TALK BY
 4-M|NUIE WOMAN
Mrs. Woodbury Abbey Has Distinction of Being First Woman to
 Deliver Address.

To Mrs. Woodbu:y Abbey belongs the distinction of being the first woman resident of Nenana to join the ranks of the four-minute speak CTS, who are making a series of talks on war subjects, under the direction of Geo. W. Pennington. Mrs. Abbey delivered a four-minute address at the Coliseum last night, during the course of the Red Cross moving picture show and today she is numbered among the towns best orators.
 Mrs. Abbey chose a subject not previously touched upon by the Nenana speakers and the able man. ner in which the address was de- livered made it doubly impressive. The closing words of the address took the house by storm. Mrs. Abbey spoke as follows:
 Kind Friends and Patrons:
 We meet here tonight, to aid the most humane and merciful cause known-a cause so unselfish, that 1t must perforce appeal to the heart of every loyal citizen, and particu- larly to the heart of every loyal wife and mother-because it means so much to us, and because it em- braces the loving care of that price less gift we have given to civilization, our husbands, sons and brothers, and it should be our whole-hearted wish and desire to make that love and care as expansive as human effort and self-sacrifice will admit
 After all, when all is said and done, this world war is for the pro- tection of all women. and we must be able to face our hero husbands, sons and brothers, when they return to us, fully conscious of the fact that we have done our all to make their efforts successful and their burdens lighter. We cannot "camou- flage" sham for the real thing. It with the Women of America to show the world what American wives and mothers can do.
 "I would especially appeal to the for on us everything de- pends-the future of our children, and what is perhaps of far more vital importance, the future of the nation. The latter statement may be irrelevant, for if our children are taught loyalty and uprightness at home, the chances of becoming good citizens and valuable national assets are all in their favor. Teach them the sacredness of Right. There can be no greater test and proof of right than will be evinced by the outcome of this tragic war, for Right will prevail, and what is meant by Right should be taught first and foremost in the home.
 Mothers, it is a grave problem We have before us, but we must prove ourselves equal to the task. We are responsible and answerable for the futures of our children, and they must be taught what parts they are to play in the nation of the fu- ture.
 "The words "Mother" and Red Cross" are synonymous; each gives of its best, gives freely and cheer fully.
 Words fail to express the vast good being done by the Red Cross. One has but to scan the pages of the periodicals and daily papers to find out what efforts are being put forth by the members of the Red Cross in appeasing the sufferings and hardships of our soldiers.
 But, let me add, that the Red Cross is wholly a volunteer organi- zation, and as such, presents an ap- propriste means by which the vol

WHAT = DIFFERENCE?

An appeal to the passions OF a
people that is based upon prepos-
sessed knowledge that the unlettar-
ed, threading voter will be caught,
is the act Of the demagogue in poll
tics. Demagogue is a word so com
monty used in connection with this
kind of vote catching that we find
ourselves trying to describe it by
other phrasing. Whatever it may be,
just this thing has been Tom Wat
sons game all his life. He may have
been plain SPOKEN. He may have
been keenly brilliant but he has
never reached that higher plane in
public service that the really great
statesman reches because he aases
this debased method of dealing with
the people.
In his entry into the race for CON
gress in the Tenth he now desires to
make the catholics the issue. There
are not enough catholics in the Tenth
district TO hold "meetin" and every
body knows it but Watson knows
that there are many indicated peo-
pie who would suppose that there is
great catholic danger in Georgia
when they are told that is the case.
lie has figured that this issue will
be "humdinger" in the vote catching
line. He is looking for the hill billies
and the wool hat boys. Whist re
Election this thing is on them,
Compare this With the work OF
some really constructive statesmen.
