AMERICANS ARE
 STEWARDS FOR
 HUMANITY'S CAUSE
Interesting Subject to Be Discussed at the Presbyterian Church at the Wednesday Eve
 ming Meet.
(By REV. GEORGE BRUCE,

The subject to be discussed at the Wednesday evening service in the Presbyterian church is a most interesting one, viz: that of ac- quiring wealth. The government of our nation has taught us the fal- lacy expressed in the words DOS session is nine points of the law" " in the fact, that the first seventeen men who stood at the head of the income tax list, paid into the federal treasury the first year after we went into the war, the fine big sum of $100,000, 1000. The federal authorities consider it's citizens as stewards and partners in the serv- ice of humanity and demands the lions share to carry out national needs. God has a similar program that all men are stewards of that which they possess, and may be part ners in service with Him. The church is operating the biggest bus mess on earth. Most big business es give for their right to continue that they are making a living, but the church rises to a grander, more noble right, in that its business is to make life. Had you ever stopped to think how much money comes in in making a living and making a life? Come over to the church on Wednesday evening at 7:30 and get a lesson in acquiring wealth. 10000 Presbyterian con gregations are simultaneously study ing the same topic for this month, preparatory for the church drive on March 23rd, when the church plans to raise thirteen million for three hours.'

approaching spring the wanderlust is again upon them. They yearn to be back where they can hear the call of the moose and the gurgling of the sluice box.
 An Alaskan never goes at anything halfheartedly. He is a whole-hog or nothing sort of a person. He has an utter disregard for expense, and if he hasn't any money of his own he very cheerfully borrows it from some other sourdough, who just as cheerfully lends it.
 These propensities of the Alaskan account for the manner in which the telegraph lines to Washington have been congested for several months past. The Alaskan rarely writes letter-he uses the telegraph. The Northerners have invented at least should be immediately discharged from the service.
 Keeps Worrying Everybody
 It would not be so bad if they would confine themselves to person al effort in telegraphing, but they worry Senators, Congressmen, Cabi- net officers, army officials, bankers, and even newspaper men with telc- grams from their home town Cham bers of Commerce and their Alaskan friends. A member of the Times Washington Bureau, who once lived in Alaska, but who has not more of- ficial influence than halibut has side, and whose occupation would prescribe him from using this in fleunce, even if he had any, has re- ceived about a dozen of these tele- grams in the past month
 The Alaskan, as might be noted, is extravagant to the point of pro- ficiency in telegraph, tolls expendi- lures, and it is not at all unlikely that several cables have been sent to President Wilson and General Persh- ing depicting the awful plight in which some of these poor Northern CTS are placed, together with gener- ous helpings of advice on how i'm portant it is to the economic wei fare of the Nation to get these men back to Alaska at the earliest pos. sible moment.
 Officials Run and Hide
 War Department officials have been so worried that they run and hide every time they hear the name of Uncle Sams most treasured insu- lar possession. A few days ago a committee of Alaskans, made up of men who had been discharged, and headed by E. F. Jenkins, formerly of Fairbanks, but later of Camp Grant, arrived at the capital Together with Delegate Wickersham they called up, on Secretary of War Newton D. Ba ker They had no trouble in inter esting the Cabinet officer in their cause.
 They told MT Baker just what they wanted, and an hour or two later when everybody's throat was parched and their voices had become so very hoarse they couldn't talk above q whisper, the Secretary signed an or. der directing that all Alaskans in the service who can be spared be i'm mediately released. The Secretary saw to it at the same time, that there are a good many of them who will come under the classification of those "who can be spared" The committee departed and, dividing it's forces. has gone to the various train ing camps, finding out how many Northerners are in the camps ard

telling them how to get out of the service.
 Order Gets Quick Action
 The order signed by the Secretary of War got quick action. More than half the Alaskans were discharged in the first three days after it was is sued. The execution of that order was one of the things on which de- partmental clerks manifested speed.
 We are working overtime getting these records caught up,' said tired haggard-looking clerk today. Be lieve me, these fellows are not more anxious to get out of the army than we are to get them out. And I hope that after they are discharged they will go so far into Alaska that it will cost million dollars to send them postcard. They're good sol diers, and all that, but when they start after anything such a discharge, oh boy"

 SOuRDOUCHS OF
 NORTH COUNTRY
Army Officer Says They Lied Way into Army and Are Lying
 Out of It.
Jack Underwood in Seattle Times,
 Feb. 21.)

Feb. 21.)
 Most of these fellows lied their way into the army and now they are following the same trail to get out of it."
 This is the manner in which an army officer connected with the di vision that has to do with early dis charges sized up the situation with regard to a number of Alaskan sour. doughs who are making frantic eff forts to get released from further service.
 Last year, when the war was at it's height, and particularly last spring when the German drive was in pro- gress, a number of these Northern CTS conceived the idea that General Pershing could not very we'll get along without their assistance. They hastened to Seattle and enlisted in various branches of the service. most of them, because of previous exper fence, choosing the tank corps.
 Knew About Machinery
 A4to dpOo llOb tihb tltS Hdu shown unusual aptitude to the stor- lge of liquids The majority of them had worked on steam drawers or steam shovels or dredges or quartz mills and had more or less know edge in the manipulation of machin- 3ry of various kinds. The tank is ! shell covering a lot of nuts and bolts and cams and eccentric gears and things of that kind. Therefore, 1t was in this branch of the service hat the majority of the Northerners thought they would have more honey sort of feeling.
 Besides the name of the corps-the treat-em-rought" outfit appealed to hem. Alaskans, taken by and large, Ire not strong for wrist watches md carrying handkerchiefs in their sleeves. The part of dilettanti is not their forte. No ordinarily ob- servant individual would mistake a well-seasoned sourdough for a dude.
 Most Beyond Age Limit
 To be sure, most of them were be- yong the age limit, but what did little matter of a few years amount Q if Pershing needed them? A man IS only as old as he feels; you cant ell a mans age by looking at his teeth, is the way they argued to themselves. And raZors and mani curists can work wonders, anyway.
 Some of these guys had lost their milk teeth when MT. Atlantic discov cred the ocean," is the way one off cer sized up bunch of tank ex- perts from Alaska when they arrived 1t his camp. He liked their rugged looks, however, and passed them.

THERE IS A REASON"

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if 1t doesn't average good is 1t returned and a new one demanded. This te the reason why we seldom get . complaint from purchaser of one of these watches. '
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in- spected also.
