YANKS.
HI met the Yanks at Flanders, hand HI
met 'em hHp at Metz.
They were h'alwayes rolling dice h'about
and myking 'eayy bets,
Hand with very strynge tobacco they
would roll their cigarettes.
oh they spoke a curious language hand
they'd joke hand larff hand shout
H'if they 'ad bit of trouble they would
splutter it right out,
Hand tell their personal worries that we'd
never talk h'about.
They'd arslc you: COWS your mother?" or
your wife as h'if they cared.
Hand in five h'and twenty minutes hall
their istory they barred.
Hat the himpudence of Yankees Hive
been shocked until HI stared.
They'll not wyte for h'introductions Men
you've never h'even met,
Will walk right h'up hand tell you that
the weather's bally wet
Hand tell you where they come from
hand the plyce they 'ope to get
But they'll give you their tobacco, hand
theyll let you ave a light
Hand they'll feed you when you're 'ungry
hand they'll 'elp you, dye or night
Hand with hall their curious customs
they hare corkers in a fight.

YOUR PLAY-PRETEND.

The night dreamer never gets any
where-because he is asleep. But the
day-dreamer is the initiator and the
creator. All Space is his playground.
The child. with its toy-blocks and
wagons and engines and boats-in its
world of ''play-pretend"- building
the future security of the world
If you know how to ''play-pretend"
you are storing happiness away by
box-cars. For it is only as we see our
selves wrapped in interest to the thing
we desire-that we actually do attain
it
Let's '-play-pretend" today.
Let's see ourselves as successfully
happy-successfully helpful No mat
ter what our wishes may be, so long
as they are constructive. let us play
pretend"-ride into themi To grow.

One thing is sure. and that is you
are more apt to LIVE the real, if you
enter into the fplay-pretend" with Zest
and soul.
For il is from those things which
you expect to come your way, that
you receive the greatest rewards. And
how much better it is to look forward
to the thing that you want, even tho
you don't get 1t. than to look forward
to the thing that you don't want and
get it
What would we do without our
world of "play-pretend"? To whom
could we hand our odd-lived moments
from what far garden might we
hope to import our finest joys. our
keenest witted thrills-our leading,
uplifting power?
oh, 1 do not mind whether or not
ALL of my "play-pretends" come true
Il KNOW that many will And you
may know so, too.

1t is beginning to dawn on the pub
lie mind that since President Wilson
permits Burleson to remain in the
cabinet, it is barely possible that the
president approves the acts of his
postmaster general or may even direct
them. Mr.. Wilson should lose no time
in squaring himself with public senti-
ment on this matter if he would re-
tain the respect and confidence of the
people. Burleson must go.

BITTER PILL FOR ALASKA.
(Seattle I,ines.l

Instead of the S12OOOOOO which was to have been appropriated to continue work on the Alaska railroad congress appropriated but S2, 438OOO
 In an eleventh-hour impulse to ccono- mize, the republicans Topped SlOOOOOOO from the sum that was to have been devoted to this improvement.
 This will be an especially bitter pill for the Northland because reports have support ed a lively hope that Congress would be just, even generous, in it's dealings with the rail- road.
 The statement is made by the Interior Department officials that completion Oi the road will be delayed year
 It is Seatte's business to open a fight now, to make sure that completion shall not be delayed for longer period.
 Republican leaders in congress should be made to understand that this city, state and section thoroly appreciate the importance Of the pioneering railroad work undertaken by the government in the Northand.
 They should be acquainted with the fact that improved transportation IS recognized turnout the Pacific Northwest as the one means by which the development of the ter ritorv can be rendered sure and certain.
 Seattle always has been spokesman for the Northland in matters of this kind.
 It must continue to occupy that position with respect to the Alaska railroad!
 Start the fight now!
 Keep it up until congress appropriates the money needed to complete the line.
 This is Seatte's fight as much as it is Alaska's
