BARREL AND
 BOX XFACTORY
 FOR CORD0VA

A new industry is to be started in Cordova and one which will be duly appreciated by cannery owners. It is a barrel and box factory, which will be located at Sheep bay and expects to be in full operation within sixty days.
 The new concern is known as the Sahlin Falls Lumber and Box Com pany, being composed of Anacortes, Wash, people who arrived on the last boat and are now busily engaged in getting things in readiness for their plant. The company is composed of Julius Sahlin, constructing mill wright; David Collier, carpenter, and M. B. Kenney, filer, all of whom are experienced in their particular lines of work. The machinery for the plant has also arrived.
 A Mo- 3 American sawmill outfit, with a capacity of 25,O0O feet daily, will be immediately set up and the lumber gotten out for tEe main build ing, 40 by 60 feet, which will later be increased in size. A large store building and warehouse will also be erected this fall.
 There is 1000 horsepower running over the falls and two large pelton wheels will be used to develop 200 horsepower in the start. The rough lumber will be utilized in the manu- facture of boxes and the best timber used in making barrels for the can neries. There vii also be good grade of lumber placed on the local market. The mill will employ twelve men and tie owners say they are here to stay and develop a new industry.

THE PRESIDENTIAL AMULET.

There one thing about President Wilson that ought
to be cleared up.
At recent dinner given in the White House to men,
bers of the congressional foreign relations committee,
observed that as the guests about to seat them
selves at the table something dropped from the presidents
pocket and rolled over the floor It seemed dark or red
dish brown waiter huriedly picked it up and handed
it to the president who explained with little embarrass-
ment that his physician had ordered him to carry it,
What was it? There have been two explanations
printed One is that buckeye horse chestnut
an article intrinsicaly beautiful and well known by all
normal American boys to possess mystical curative ana
powers The other explanation that it was
confere bag Of red CLOTH containing nameess but
presumably potent and salubrious compound The bene
cent effects Of such amulet well known to south
ern darlies---the president is a southern man.
The entire incident shows President Wilson IN new
light He has been generally regarded as thinking
machine with little for the ordinary human emo
tons and fraities But if the president really depends
for his health and personal safety on the efficacy Of
some charm carried in his pocket, there is touch OF
humanity that instantly makes him kin with the whole Il
logical and un-grown-up world Of humanity.
And this being granted surely the precise nature OF
that charm ought to be settled definitely Is it northern
amulet or southern one? Of American or African IN
spiration? Does Mr.. Wilson carry it to ward off rhe
acs or the flu? Did his physician really order him to
do it? Or is it his own idea and does he tote it just for
luck"? Several million people would like to know.

WHEN THE BOYS LOVER THERE
GET BACK COVER HERE

When ! was just eighteen years old,
Ny Uncle Sam called me,
To fight the Huns-so l was told,
Across the deep blue sea.
We drilled both day and night awhile,
Then sailed for cover there"
To wade in mud up to our neeks,
And live on poisoned air
Mid shot and shell and gas we fought,
Mid scenes one ne'er forgets--
But Oh! God bless the folks back home
Who sent us cigarettes
Their drive delayed, the Hun, dismayed
Could not stand Yankee vim,
No shot nor shell nor gas could stay
Their progress toward Berlin
We stayed in dugouts wet and cold,
Our bodies lame and sore,
We lit our cigarettes and smiled
We asked for nothing more.
Democracy is safe again,
And we have peace once more
And Oh! how glad we were to land
Upon our native shore.
But what what 5 that | hear, | asked,
No cigarettes you saya
Why | IN soldier lad kind sir
I just got back today.
That makes no difference, said the man
Gave my dime back with smile
You see you're not quite twenty one
You III have to wait awhile.

Who fought for freedom dear,
Had won it for them "Over there"
But lost ours cover Here. "
We boys-of course, could eat Hun gas
And iuggle shot and shell,
But smoking cigarettes you know
Would kill US sure as he'll
So Uncle takes me by the hand,
And says "My man, well done!"
But you must not smoke cigarettes
Until you re twenty one.

AN OPEN LETTER

To Bishop William F. Mcdowell,
president of the board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church;
Dear Bishop: No man or woman can
be true Christian or patriot and
vote the republican or democratic or
any license party ticket.
Political action general conference
1916.
The time has come when the line
should be definitely and sharRly drawn
between the supporters and porteurs of
this traffic, and those who stand for
its abolition. A man cannot, as Chris
tan citizen, sign petition for liquor
license, rent property to be used for the
purposes of the traffic, vote for it or
with it, or fail to make his citizenship
count as an eleetor in protest against
the traffic s continuance. To do any
one of these things is to betray his
citizenship, the religion he processes,
and the church of the living Christ.
What say youR
Respectfully,
WILLIAM N. TAFT
