STANDARD OIL SERVICE A GREAT
AID To FARMER AND TOWNSPEOPlE

might not be amiss to mention a few
little Standard Oil ideas and ideals
which the boys around the plant put
into daily action.
The other day l happened in at
the yards just at closing time when
| saw Mr.. Milholland dash from out
the barn door, shouting fire at every
step, My entire being was filled
with immediate horror. TIE barn on
fire and all those great tanks of gaso-
line and Pearl oil so near at hand.
My heart was still humping madly
those two minutes it took every man
on the job to arrive on the scene
with his fire extinguisher. There
really wasn't any fire, but Mr.. Mil
holland carries out the company's
idea of preparedness, and was hold
ing one of their fire drills. 1t is safe
to say that a fire would stand a small
chance once the Standard fire ladies
got on the job.
A little later l walked into the
office and had no sooner arrived
than the head bookkeeper began 60
ing through his pockets. He then
turned to me and asked me for a
match. l went though my pockets
but found them empty, so far as the
matches were concerned. Its a
good thing" said the bookkeeper,
for no one is allowed to carry mat
ches inside the yard" You see he
"a testing me out.
AS my eyes took in the office, l
noticed a kind of a tin box affair
hanging on the wall and a red cross
painted upon it. That naturally at
tracted my attention so l inquired
into the nature Of it. The boys were
all eager to show me the contents Of
that box. 1t was a Johnston Red
Cross Cabinet and held all the ar
ticles necessary for administering
first aid to an injured person. That
is only one of the little things which
John D. has worked out for the well
fare of his employees.
But the best thing it was my pleas
ure to see during the entire visit was
the living emphasis of Americanism.
The boys went out to bring down Old
Glory from the flagpole in the yard as
the sun was setting over the western
hill. They performed. with all earn
estness and solemnity. Here they
played an art with which probably
very few Americans who have never
seen army service, are familiar with.
That is the proper folding of the flag
as it is lowered fom the pole. 1t is
never allowed to touch the ground,
but it is gathered in and folded in
such a manner that, when, upon be-
ing raised will unfold beautifully and
in a natural manner as it unfurls to
the breeze.
Oh John D. must be a stickler for
little things, but the more you learn
of his methods the you are
prompted to admire him. For in
stance. II an 8 cents postage is re-
quired on Standard Oil mail, then an
8 cent stamp it must be, not two 4
centers or four two centers. Why 3?
Because one stamp is more conven-
lent to put on than two or more and
then there is saving in paper which
amounts to a great deal in the aggre-
gate,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The birthday of Abraham Lincoln oc. cured last Wednesday and quite properly that day has been designated holiday by thc Territorial legislature
 It iS absolutely proper that once cacE year thc people of the nation should pause fora time md contemplate from distance o. wears the character of this great man.
 Lincoln was great. yet his nature was ouc of simplicity He was president of the United States through the most vital and troublesome times of the nation He was commander in chief of the army and navy of the country during the civil war and as such held the fate of many in his hands. but was so full of compassion and sympathy that every act of justice that Inc was forced topcrform was filled with the saving grace of mercy.
 Contrast his character with that of some of tIc lcadcrs-or rather. cN-lcadcrS-o the world today, and the beauty of that character comes to one with striking force. IIc said that 1t happened that he was at thc head of the nation during stirring times and that he would do his feeble best to steer the ship of state through the storm. The cN-kaiscr said that he had been ap- pointed by God to rule the German people and that the good German sword would hcw down an opposition to his will
 Lincoln was struck down by a mad mans bullet in the height of his career of usefulness. The whole world momncd his loss. Each year his memory becomes more dear and his fame spreads farther and he is taken as a pattern for all to emulate.
 The cN-kaiscr was forced to flee in the night from the country which he had be- traycd, to retreat in neutral country. IT hc were to die tomorrow no one would shed tear, and as the years roll on the memory of him will grow more bitter.
 Lincoln was a striking example of that maxim, "The greatest truths are the simplest and so are the greatest men,"

Some letter writer has written to the Dawson News saving that the time is now ripe for Canada to make a big fight in the peace congress to get the United States to cedc to Canada the Alaska panhandle. This fellow says that now is the opportme time, as Great Britain and the United States are such good friends that Uncle Sam could not possiblydcuy John Bull anything The agitator further says the Yukon needs a sea coast and the Alaskan panhandle would just answer the purpose. Your old Uncle Sam loves John Bull but is still the Yankee trader and we hardly think that the pan handle will be scpartcd from the Alaskan gold pan very soon unless Canada has something better to offer than we know anything about. Why not give us the Yu- kon and the rest of the interior to fit on to our sea coast

when Mrs. Hastings discovered her
daughter Mildred had promised 10 mar
ry Harry Prescott she raised . great
disturbance and forbade the ycunG peo-

mined TO marry Mildred TO one Of the
millIonsires who visited their summer
resori every year. and Mildred was
equally determined 10 answer the call
OF her own heart only so there had
arisen between the two battle royal
Ia which the community was greatly
Interested
Harry Prescott's only fault lay 10 the
fact that he WAS struggling barrister,
with no particular fortune save his hon
est heart and steady ways. but that
was sufficient 10 taboo him forever as a
future sonIn-law for the fastidlous
Mrs. Hastings.
She was harassed night and day try
ing TO keep the lovers apart, but the
town was not large and nothing short
Of locking her daughter up seemed to
solve the problem.
Mildred" she said one day, seeming
ly apropos of nothing. How would you
like to make your Uncle William a
little visit?"
I'D love 1t I" answered the daughter
But why the change of heart Mum

Leave II to me. Miliy, my girl. Wen
have her eating out Of our hand yet
That same day Mrs Hastings was
thrown into Mysteries by the receipt VI
the following telegram
"Millie bound to marry my chauffeur.
What shall l dor"
A telegram being entirely too slow
for the enraged mother, she sought
refuge In q iong-distance telephone
call. and when she finally succeeded In
getting Uncle william on the wire. she
was so fiustered she could barely make
herself ineligible
"Has--has she married him yet-
she finally managed TO ask.
"Not yet. Maria. but / don't know
how long can hold out against her. ="
'Oh. save me. William for your
dead brothers sake--save me from this

"Yes-yes is" exclaimed
Mrs Hastings, grasplng as dying
man at the proverbial straw. She's
been In love with Harry Prescott. n
young lawyer. Tell her II she'll only
come home she can marry him any
time she wants to. Ill promise her
anything"
Uncle William went back TO the low
ers, accompanied by poorly concealed
smile OF triumph
"Milly," he said. your mother says
to come home and marry Prescott
that q lawyer, even II he Is poor, Is
more dignified to have In the family
than q chauffeur. But wen take no
chances on her changing her mind.
I've sent for a minister and We'll tie
that knot good and tight right here
before you start back"
SO Mildred married the humble Pres
colt after all, and with her mothers
