DREADFUL COUGH CURED.

A severe cold is often followed by
a rough cough for which Chamber
lain's Cough remedy has proven es-
pecially valuable. Mrs. F. W. Olsen,
Marysville, Mo-, writes: "About two
years ago my little Jean caught a
severe cold and caughed dreadfully
for days. l tried a number of cough
medicines but nothing did him any
good until | gave him Chamberlain's
Cough remedy. 1t relieved his cough
right away and before he had fin
ished taking one bottle he was cured.

A DEBT TO HEROES
The Fifth Liberty Loan will be known aS tho Victory Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be known as the Victory Loan. Victory is not merely matter Of jubilation, accepting surrender Of a beaten foe and dropping the gun to take up the blow share in the furrow where it stood when the call to arms came.
 The Victory Loan Is one Of the many great obligations that come to the victors. President Woodrow Wilson and the members of the A merlcan pecae delegation Are now lin France looking after the world obligations. Our part now is to prepare to pay in small measure the debt we owe our khaki and blue clad champions.
 A lsrge part of the money to be
 
 raised in the Victory Loan cam paign next April will be used for the rehabilitation Of our wounded men. The government will do it's utmost to restore every wounded American soldier and sailor to health arr self supporting activity
 When the wounded man has been given complete medical and surgi- cal treatment he will be considered by the Federal Board for Vocational Education. If his disability pre- vents return to work he left at the call of tho government a wide choice of occupation is open to him.
 If the injured man needs an ar tificial limb or appliance Of any sort tue government will provide it. Until bis special treatment or training ends he will receive regu- lar compensation and the family will receive the allotment. The war risk insurance Will be paid un- til the end of the vocational train ing if the course is elected with out necessity, but in this case the allotment will not be paid the family. snstead of finding dependent Grip pied Aad beggars made so by an un- appreciative country, they will be highly trainde heroes whose sacri-

 Right here in Ska3way there are several "Bolsheviki" who are only awaiting a chance to start things. It is an easy matter for the clerks Of the election to name them. They have never voted, simply because they are not entitled 10 vote. They do not believe in the ballot. They believe in terrorism and bloodshed- They do not want to become cit1- zens. Send them back to the place where they came from. This free United states, with its glorious Re publican constitution should not tolerate them. Let them go back and quarrel and fight, murder ana pinage.. The people of the United States, the citizens of this great nation, do not want them.

YIELD OF ALASKA MINES
 DURING 1918

The mines of Alaska yielded in 1918 products worth $2S,9OO,OOO' according to preliminary estimates prepared by c. c. Martin, of the U. S. Geological Survey. Department of the Interior. Although Alaska mining was so adversely affected by shortage of labor and shipping and higt cost of supplies that the value of the output fell nearly SIP,
 100000 from 1917, the production was stil' far greater than any year before 1915. Alaska's chief min eral product is copper, of which 69,425, 900 pounds, valued at ST. 1S0, GOO, was mined in 1918. The gold output, worth S10,OoO,OOO of which placsrs yielded $6,lOO, ,oOO' waa $4,6SO,ONO less than in 1917 and waA the smallest since 1904. Tho mining of 77.OOO tons Of coal worth $435, 5,O0e, is significant aS the onlv marked advance over the production Of 1917, as by far the largest coal output in Alaska mining and ss the probabld begin hing os a suStantial coal industry. Alaska also produced in 1918 sIl- yer worth $S7O,OOO; tin worth S9O, 900; lead worth $S5,OOO; chrome ore, tungsten. palladium platinum, and antimoRy aggregate %117. .OO9; and petroleum, marble gypsum, lime, and bricks aggreagt- lng s12O,OOO. The total yield of Alaska mines since 1880 has been mOre than s419,OOO,OOO. Of shis, gold was worth s302,VOV,0Os and copper s1O5, ,SOO,oOO.
