The
Flag of Hope

%s|1EW YEAR day flies the nag
IUKWTf| Of hope. Many of US come
l1Hl to the close Of the year with
lSS$8Q sense Of defeat. We have
blGNYIy|p failed to accomplish what
we had hoped. Events have
shaped themselves against us, and We
have lacked the power to stem the
tide. The good resolutions with which
we so. bravely started soon went lame
and dropped out. Thus many Of us
find the shadows of disappointment,
.discOuragement and failure falling
around us rs the old year closes. What
Is the use Of struggling longer? We
are fated to disaster.
Then New Year day dawns and
something Is saying: "Try again
There is ozone In the air. Events be-
gin to wear different outline. Voices
are calling. Hands beckon US on.
And as we lift our eyes to face the fu-
tlIre, yonier on the sky line flies the
flag Of hope.
This is what New Year day would
do for you and me. 1t would put GIN
ger and punch into our Slapped and
fading vitality. 1t would help us to
stand on our feet and look the world
fearIessly In the face and carry on. II
would shout in our ears: forward
March,"
Some cynic may say 1t will he the
old story again, but success is on the
road to meet the man who tries. II Is
a glorious thing to put up a fight, even
II you seem to lose. We are not lost
because we fail. hut because we de

A Memorial to Service.

" The other day at Washington there was unveiled, in the War Department, tablet to the memory of horses and mules who fell in action died from overwork while serving America during the great The pronoun of persons is not unirrtentional, neither is it Even the nation has given them a humble memorial it should not grudge these slaughtered servants dealized personality Never Twas sentiment more fttngly displayed than in this tribute to the dumb beasts of battle Indeed, it is humanizng to think that great government so naturally found expression for gratitude that more often is understood, casual, entirely dsregarded.
 Mans dominion his fellow animals has created many epic friendships, such the love of Alexander for his charger, Bucephaus In millions of mortal lives the seed of affection has germinaed and many folk have fondy regarded some horse or dog almost as of the family lacking only the ability to speak But it is more than equally true that this understanding and appreciation of service land character in the beasts is not universal at tribute Hence the humane society and the statutes that reprove for such cruelty beasts incap able of. But from the very nature of the associa- tion, however, tolerant and kindly views, the beasts have served in heavy harness and their toll has been accepted a natural featy to human superiority and requirements We cannot escape this viewpoint but at least be appreciative as the tablet in Washington testfes.
 In his youth Alexander and coveted the Spirited colt, Bucephalus, whose back might bestride, Splendid as was this horse King Philip thought to slay the animal. wild and ungovernable was his temper Perhaps the future conqueror of vast empire recognized knship of spirit, for he pleaded to be allowed free hand with Bucephalus. The old chronicles relate that he the quiv- erng Hanks of the nervous colt spoke softly to it., and gently urged it into trot while he by its side. The courtiers smiled dscreetly his eoncet but they smiled longer when the youth yaulted lightly to the saddle and rode the outlaw In India long aferward, when he had ridden Bucephalus the domains of prostrate Persian power the stout 'od war horse died, and Alexander caused town to be founded in honor of his frend-Bucephaa on the river Hydaspes.
 There is to doubt the classical story of this afectonate comradeship. It is integral chap fter in the life of the conqueror. than all else that is told of him it to bring nearer to Alexander the The bravest the tenderest the loving the daring.

BUY ALASKA VEGETABLES AND PATRON
 FEE HOME BUSINESS HOUSES.

One good way to develop Alaska would be for people to the grocer for Alaska grown vegetables when purchasing for the kitchen. Money expended for Alaska grown farm products is money that will remain in the Territory labor in it's development, and in the end come back the who spends it.. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars out of Alaska for foodstuf that could be used to clear lands pay and support 1amiiles in the North.
 Alaska is endeavoring gain population: There is better way to gain permanent population than through purchasing the product of Alaska farms. We have number of farms in the vicinity of Juneau. There farms Haines and in the Chilkat Valley, at Skagway, Dyea and other points in Alaska. Let us patronize them, and thus encourage them to in- crease lands under tillage and thus give employ ment labor and furnish customers those engaged other lines In short, let hand wash the other by using Alaska products much possible. ! And right in this connection there is something else that Alaska people should do. They should get their Christmas gifts from their local merchants One buy at home to better advantage than he through the mail anyhow. When he purchases at home he examine the article he purchases before pays it. And further than that, part of every dollar spent with the home merchant stays hero to help pay rent and other operating costs sat home and to support the local lodges schools churches and the rest of the population The profits on dollar mail order house helps build up Chicago other Eastern center. Let give the home producer and merchant the benefit of the doubt in all and we will increase popu lation, add to the volume of business, and make it the local producer and merchant sell lower prices at home

GEN. FOCH AND HIS VISIT.

Never in the history of the United States has a visitor been shown greater honor received more of the respect confidence and love of the American people than Gen. Foch, the great = mander of the Allied forces in the World War. His trips have been veritable triumphal marches the country. While he frankly admitted that he knew he would receive a very generous welcome he said he amazed at the warmth of the reception he has received. He also said that while he h. q expected to great country, the evidence u wealth of the country in rsources and in peop Q were far beyond his expectation that he was startled by them
 It is not too much say that the great Frencl I General and his simplicity, his frank sincerity his uniform kindness and the depth of his religious n ture, have impressed the American people as great as he was impressed by them In spite of all tn plans for his entertainment he found time each Sun day to go alone to church, he has not been nor pleased with anything that occurred in the country than when he was made Knight of Columbus Chlcago His hrst act, after initiation the Mi lionth Knight to cable to his wife in Paris ", nave been made a Knight of Columbus,' and he wa prouder of no distinction bestowed upon him than when he headed parade of this religious organiz, tion in Chicago in which 50, 900 persons marched
 Gen. Foch has learned. at least, that the Washin~- ton conference is not the result of any weakness the part of the United States, nor on account backsliding from the principles for which American fought under him in France The amazing strengt of the Nation and the honors bestowed upon him and Gen Pershing who accompanied him a great dea of the time, the proof of both propostions
