the end declared that he felt fine and
was ready to meet Green today If
necessary.
Green is Good Boy.
Green's record has not yet arrived
here but fans who are acquainted
with the ability Of this hard hitting
little man declare that he is more
than able TO hold his own AGAINST Car
ter. II these reports are to be given
credence then the fans can look for a
real bout as every boxing enthusiast
OF the southwest is acquainted with
the ability Of Carter and know that
when this spirited little man steps
into the ring there is going to be a
battle from the initial gong.

lRISHMAN'S LUCK,

Private Charles M. Davies of the Canadian army, a Los Angeles ran, has his own supply of war joke.
 He tells about the little clu, CTS of white crosses that are always found back of the third line trenches. Each cross is marked "Un- known K. 1. F." These initial. are susceptible to varying interpreta- tion. The Canadians say they mean "Rest in Pieces" which is sometimes literally true. The Americans have other theories.
 "The other day as l was passing one of the little gordens," Davies writes, q ran into a coup.n of Tanks giving the R. 1. P. crosses the once over. By gollv,' one of '!em said, the Royal Irish Police must have got h--l of a licking around here.'"

During the past 10 years MT. and. Mrs. Puxton have visited almost every country in the world. They have long since learned that in order to really know anything of a coun- try they visit it is necessary to take time enough to get some- thing more than a mere glimpse. They came to Alaska early in the season, and for the past two months have been visiting vari- ous towns, canneries, etc. MT. Buxton is president of the Globe Machinery company of Des Moines.

Rabbits keep down the wool sup ply in New Zealand, according to authentic information received at Philadelphia.

 Inasmuch as tcN rabbits will eat anu destroy as much pasture as would feed one sheep, it was point el out that these rabbits had de. stfoyed the feed which mi ght have kept 35,0o3 sheep, worth $l27,7iG a year to tue country. Rabbits are being slaughtered by the millions and their skins prepare,i for e1- port, of which the United States L3s taken very large numbers dur ing the last year.

 HON. LLOYD GEORGE

SACRAMENTO - When De Valera, the provisional president of the new Irish Republic came through this city on his way to San Francisco to address the Ancient Order of Hibernians of the United States and Canada which is in convention there in one of the spacious halls of the city and said in part: Ireland is a free nation by all the rights in the world. She was free as Gods air when the peace confer ence was held and she is just as free now. Lloyd George had no right to represent Ireland at the Peace Council. Why were we not allowed to represent our selves? Ireland is an absolutely independent nation now and al- ways will be, and she will no longer submit. to tyrannical rule from any one nation. A state war will exist between Ireland and England before we submit" The crowds went wild with en- thusiasm and declared that Ire land was not treated rightly. When De Valera went aboard his train the crowds followed and cheered wildly until the train was out of sight.

HELPED TO FIND HERSELF"
How United States Employment serv. ice Is Enabled to Render Aid to
 Woman Who Needs It.

The United States employment service not only helps woman to find a job. but in many cases lhe service helps woman to find her self. The average woman who has never earned d dollar in her life is gery often under the impression she is not qualified for any vocation. vet she may have had real training. Here is case in point. A woinan of refinement called at a United States employment office in New York city, said she had no qualif- cations. had never earned money, and asked for suggestions on what kind of training to take. The ex- amiuer in charge questioned the woman very carefully and discov- cred sie had done considerable re- search work in the last four years OF som" important law cases for her husband and had also done a great deal of statistical work for him. The examiner found the applicant a place at S100 a month doing stalis- teal work. In short time the &om- an was promoted to an $l ,S00-a-rcar job. In less than year this woman qualified so successfully she is LOW holding down q S3,OOO iob.

When our vices leave us we ffatter ourselves that we are leaving them.
 The only good copies are those which enable US to see the laughable- ness of bad originals.
 Real struggling is itself real living, and no ennobling thing of this earth Is ever to be had by man on any other terms.
 The great secret of life Is to know how In our own way to be receptive to the spirit. how to read the message of Its inner whisperings.
 He that can be true to his best and secret nature. that can by faith and patience conquer the struggling world within, Is most likely to send forth n blessed power to vanquish the world without.
 Talk about those subjects you have had long in your mind and listen to what others say about subjects you have studied but recently. Timber and knowledge should not be much used till they are seasoned.
 Believe in yourself; believe In hu- manity; believe in the success of your undertaking. Fear nothing and no one. Love your work. Work. hope, trust. Keep in touch with today. yourself to be practical and u2 .-to-date and sensible. You cannot fail.
 All war is horrible and hateful, but there is no war so hateful as war of class against class in the sauie couS- try. There might be some conipensa- ton in the sutferings of the greatest war ever waged between nations if 1t tehded to greater harmony among our selves.
 To be good listener 3s perhaps quite as desirable an art us that of be- ing a good .talker. Interest and sym pathetic attention are always q deli cate courtesy. It draws out the best that others have to give, cheers and comforts those in trouble. sets the timid at ease and wins aLd holds friendship.-EXchunge.
