DON'T FORGET, BOYS!

Some weeks ago, someone started a very
popular movement; and that was the sending of
something nice nearly every day to the Red
Cross working Girls at their workroom; such as
Candies icecream, oranges, apples and other
"sweet things presumably in appreciation Of
their efforts. According to Mrs. S., these good
things have ceased to come, and they are missed
oh so very much! Now don't forget the Girls
boys for they have been mighty good. They
have performed wonders in the work they have
accomplished while we have just been chewing
rags"

When Republican starts throwing mud at
a Democrat or vice versa, it creates mirth. But
when Republican or Democrat-or several
of either-starts pelting one another, then the
voters become all expectant; for as sure as any,
thing, there is something behind that is causing
that mud-throwing that is worth knowing. The
democratic machine in Alaska was split asunder
over the governorship resulting in mud-throwing
by both factions. AS dirty as this may be; It
has its ridiculous side which we are enjoying
immensely. Go to it, for you all deserve pelt-
ing!

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE.

II q man looks at a proposition from per-
sonal point of view, and does not consider any
further soon or late he invariably finds himself
mistaken And this is what happened to US a
day or two ago; in that we raved over the COM
mon report that fishermen might be exempted
from complying with the food administration
rule which says that we must use substitutes
.or wheat -four.
Since this meant an increase Of amount of
substitutes, we became intensely concerned as
it struck vital blow at our personal taste; and
together with the lack Of proper information and
chou ghtlessness we went on raving over nothing.
Had we known that the reported protest against
the use Of substitutes did not come from the
fishermen, there would have been nothing said.
AS (, matter of fact, the fishermen need not pro-
test at all as they can avoid the rule too easily.
They can go to Prince Rupert, sell their fish and
purchase just what they want in any quantity
without any restriction whatsoever, and possibly
for the same price they pay here. Meanwhile
ketchikan loses that much trade and the city as
a whole suffers.
II the fishermen choose to take advantage
of such opportunity, and put their personal in
terest above that of their country. it is
for Us to take the same position. If we were to
the country? Surely not the business men for
they would do no business. Whenever the gov
eminent calls for a loan; the Red Cross calls for
help; the churches; hospitals and all other char
liable institutions ask for assistance; who lead
the procession with the help called for? The
business men, and invariably so. The more
business the merchants of Ketchikan do the more
prosperous we all are. If the fishermen pass
our port for Prince Rupert or other ports, our
merchants lose that much business which af-
fects every resident.
Looking at the proposition from this angle.
we at once realize that it is up to us to let the
fishermen have what they want Even at the
expense of a little personal sacrifice. Let US re-
fuse to sacrifice and we become slackers because
we refuse to help the business men who help the
country If we hold the trade here by letting
the fishermen have what they need; while we
may have to more substitutes, we shall at
least have the satisfaction of knowing that by
The daily progressive-miner. [volume] (Ketchikan, Alaska) 1915-1919, 1918-04-12

doing so we help the hpsineas men; the entire
town and incidentally the country.
The situation Is such that are destined to
lose. Such being the case, we have to choose
between displeasing our taste by using more
substitutes or starvc our stomach by losing the
entire business of the town. Which shall it be-?

Paradoxical as it may seem, it is fact
nevertheless that in all labor organizations, the
most active in organizing, in directing the des-
tiny of an organization, is the man who never
does tap of work. No wonder that so many
labor organizations result in failure. Those
leaders are not workers; but preventers.

LIBERTY LOAN TO'BAJA CALIFORNIA
Be BOOSTED BY|COTTON CROP TO
TWO WAR TANKS Be $4,000 BALES

1.-TWO big Liberty Loan war tanks
will tour Southern California during
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
from September 20 to October 19, in
stead of one," is the announcement
today of Harold Janss, director Of
publicity for the Southern California
Liberty Loan State Central commit
tee.
So many cities and communities in
Southern California telephoned, wired
and wrote Director Janss for visit
of the tank that the Liberty Loan
committee Immediately decided to have
two of them. These tanks will be
known as Tank Liberty and Tank
Democracy. 1t has not yet been
decided just whether Liberty or De-
mocracy will visit this city, but as
both tanks are built on the same lines,
carry similar military escort and
the same equipment, it will not mat
ter which one arrives to boost our
campaign.
Director Janss announces that each
tank will carry a heavy Browning
machine gun, spot lights and flood
lights for use at night, a fully
equipped chorus program and be under
guard Of four of Uncle Sans own
boys. Each one Of these tanks has
been allotted quota of $1,000, 900,
which makes s3,OoO,OOO for the two
tanks.
Campaign Chairman R. H. Moulton
announced yesterday that Liberty
Loan buttons, posters and window hon.
or emblems are being shipped in suf-
ficient quantities to every city and
community in Southern California in
charge of the county and city chair
men. There will be little blue but
ton for every man, woman and child
who buys Fourth Liberty loan bond.
This will be the honor badge worn
by the 100 per cent Americans from
September % to October 10.
There will also be new honor en-
blems for the windows for every home
where Liberty Loan bonds have been
purchased. Chairman Moulton states
that by this means it will be easy for
neighbors and friends to find the
Stacker and each community should see
that there is no room within it's linn
it's for person who is able to buy
and does not and is not able to show
the evidence of his purchase, an honor

FRENCH VETERAN
OF Los ANGELES
WINS WAR HONOR
(By Associated Press)


Los Angeles, Sept. 25.-How Geor-
ges LIE Mesnager, 67 years old, native
of France and citizen of California,
ran away from his Los Angeles home
to fight the Hun, has just been made
public through his wife, who has just
learned how he had been wounded and
of his gaining the Croix de Guerre
and the Medalle Militaire.
A veteran of the Franco-Prussian
war of $40, LIE Messenger, despite his
age, was anxious to return to France
and fight the Germans again when
the great world war began, but his
family pleaded that he was too old.
He thought differently about it, how
ever, and sent his family for weeks
outing at the seaside. When they re-
turned home they found he had sailed
for France from New York.
1t was not through him that his
wife learned that he had been wound
ed, but through other sources, for the
veteran, who is described as physical
ly man of iron, has similar mental
qualities. 1t was in book on the
war that Mrs. LIE Mesnager read just
how much of hero her husband was.
''It is characteristic of my husband
that he should say nothing of being
wounded" she said. "He never writes
anything about himself. It is always
about the bravery of others. The only
information Of a personal nature
had from him was that his weight
had decreased, but he always insisted
he was well.
"He did write from a hospital, but
he stated he was there on business.
He might be wounded a dozen times,
but he never would tell us about it."

The county and city have been di-

have been assigned. Great stress is
being laid on the subject Of voluntary
subscriptions.
Due to the magnitude of the task.
the bond workers request all patriots
to visit headquarters, the Ell Centro
headquarters being located on Fifth
street just back Of the Davis drug
store, or to see committeeman and
proffer subscriptions. Solicited sub
scriptions will be regarded as con-
scripted and voluntary subscriptions
as recruits.
At intervals during the course of
the drive the newspapers will publish
the last of purchasers and the num-
ber of bonds purchased, so that the
entire public may know who are the
patriots and who the financial slack
ers.
Added dramatic interest is given

PLANS COMPLETE
TO HANDLE MAIL
FOR over THERE"
(By Associated Press)


San Francisco, Sept. 25.-The one
million letters for American soldiers
in France, mailed each day in the
United States, will go more promptly
to their destinations as the result Of
the adoption of new plans for hand
ling mail, according to advices from
the United States postal service. Only
where military projects would be jeop-
ardized by making known movements
Of troops will properly addressed let
ters be delayed in delivery more than
three or four weeks, it was an
nounced.
Hereafter every boat going to
France will carry mail. Every re-
placement unit of 25O men or less
will be given a distinctive company
numbre as it leaves camp in the
United States.
A complete postal system corre-
spending to that in the United States
is now in operation in France with
a central postoffice at Tours. This
service in France, except the distri-
button and dispatch Of mails to the
United States, is entirely under mill
tary control. Most of the men in the
service were formerly postal en-
ployees in the United States.
Many of the mobile postoffices at
the front are frequently under fire.
Special pains are taken to expedite
mail for wounded men but unavoid-
able delay sometimes occurs because
such men are frequently changed from
hospital to hospital according to the
nature of their wounds.
Lack of space on ships has often
held back consignments of mail. But
the greatest cause has been the lack
of care shown by writers in address,
ing the envelopes.

Statistics gathered below the line
by C. H. Kaufman of the Bureau
of Crop Estimates O. A. Pratt OF the
Federal Horticultural Board Indicate
that the seasons crop Of cotton IN
Baja California will reach 100000
acres. The production will be cur
tailed, it is said, through the great
amount of water grass that has
choked the cotton in places.
Mexican growers, however, agree
that the cotton condition is better
than last season and that the yield
will average from half bale to
bale to the acre. If this average is
maintained the yield will be between
10000 and $4,000 bales.
AS to pests, the Mexican fields ap-
peared to be suffering from the Same
insects that are active in California
fields. It is probable a loss of 20 per
cent will lbe occasioned through the
work of these pests. Two-thirds of
the crop is ready for picking.
