How many ex-doughboys in the
early training camp found them
selves mixed up in a screamingly
funny ENHANCEMENT and made the
remark, Gee, they ought to put this

hart wrote story "Twenty-three
and Half Hours Leave" about a
happy-go-lucky cavalry sergeant
who bet that he would eat breakfast
with his colonel. He did it, and in
cidentally captured the coloneps
daughter. A million laughed at the
story, and now Thomas H. Ince has
made motion picture out of it for
his latest stars, Doris May and
Douglas MacLean. The film is
booked to be shown at the Dirigo to-

On his release from prison, Eu-
gene V. Debs remarked that there
had been many important changes
since he severed his connection with
the outside world. That is true.
Among other things, the world has
obtained new view of the practical
operations of the brand of socialism
Mr.. Debs teaches. Socialism has
been in practical operation in Russia
but has not worked as expected. and
Russia is in a frame of mind to re-
turn to the old order so far as
rights of property are concerned.
The rest of the world learned the
lesson by observation more quickly
than Russia did by experience.
Socialism is losing adherents and
will continue to lose them. This is
one of the changes that took place
while Mr.. Debs was in prison, and
1t is one to which be will do we'll to
adjust himself.

WHY NOT OUR SHARE?

There is large surplus of war materials ln possession of the War Department-tractors trucks and machinery of various sorts-Whch' if is announced, is being segregated ana ap- ,ortioned out for use over the country Ill lEe Inilding of roads, This is an item of peculiar interest to Alaska. If there IS one thing more than another that we are concerned apouI up here, it is the building of roads, II there IS one thing that is of more immediate moment to us than the building of those roads, It IS the cost of it and the problem of getting Govern mental appropriations to cover that cost 1he cost of road building in Alaska can be very materially lessened and the operations made much simpler by the use of tractors. The caterpiller tractor is peculiarly ''cut out'' for Alaskan road-buidlding problems. 1t would seem, therefore, that some of the surplus war material of that particular kind might with oreat advantage be apportioned out for use in the nations northern territory. It would anpear, in fact, that Alaskan needs in this re- snoct even deserve first consideration by the movers that be, when that war material IS hpino divided up. Undoubtedly there would not be the slightest objection on the part of the Government to giving Alaska a fair share of the equipment All that is necessary IS for ns to as for it. In face of the necessity of appropriations for carrying on the road work in Alaska this coming year, and the problem of getting sufficient amount from GoV- ernment pledged to a policy of retrenchment and beset with the demands of conflicting De- partments it behooves us to be as practical as possible in our demands Requests for the use of some of the War Departments surplus stock would materially lessen the amount or money we should have to ask for to carry on the work already begun. They would doubt less make favorable impression at Washing ton. also Why not take time and opportunity by the forelock and apply to the War Depart ment for our share of those tractors, trucks and road building materials?.

SEWARD'S FUTURE

The future of Seward is so mixed up with the failure or success of the government rail way, as to make it personal matter with ev- cry man, women and child in the city. If the railway promotes the enterprises 1t should and brings the needed settlers, miners and homesteaders desired, Seward will be all that is claimed for it. It is one of the towns in AL aska which is steadily growing and each month sees business better and more new corners than the month before.
 The large lumber contracts received from the railway have done much toward alleviat- ing a condition which was not conductive to prosperity, in that before the mills started up there were not jobs enough to go round The logging camps, halibut fisheries and building activities also have added many men to the payroll, and the railway has probably fifty or seventy-five at work. ,-
 This is a good indication for the present, but what of the future? If fifty families came into town tomorrow, there would not be hab- itable residences for them. The limit of hous- ing ability has been reached and families are still moving in.
 We also must look for a permanent payroll for our citizens. Road building will take many men for the next few years, and the large freight warehouses will furnish longshore en- ployment for others. The halibut industry is growing and there is no limit to the number to be employed.
 Seward has the brightest future at the pres ent time it has ever had, but we must build carefully and permanently.-S Gateway.

RECORD IS FAVORABLE TO ALASKANS

study of the record papers of one mll- lion American men examined for service Tn the late war brings out some interesting facts, one of which brings the Territory of Alaska 10 the front as having the most robust citizens The study was made by Major Gen. Merritt W. Ireland, Surgeon General of the Army. He shows that the mean weight in pounds of the Alaskan was 15049, with South and North Dakota next in the list at slightly under l47 pounds and running down to the lowest Tn Rhode Island at 13600. In the mean height in inches Alaska also ranks near the top, with 68.15 inches, with Texas leading at 60.4O But in the defectives per 1000 all the states but seven make better showing than Alaska, which is 547. Again Rhode Island lags with 640 while Kansas makes the best showing, with but 354.
 In summing up the table it may be said that tine average American of fighting age is five feet seven inches and forty-nine one-hun- dredths of pound. He is tallest if he comes from Texas, shortest if he halls from Rhode Island, most robust if he be native of AL aska and least robust if Rhode Island is his home The state with the fewest number of de- fective males of fighting age is Kansas and the ono with the greatest number is Rhode ls land. The men of the Mississippi Valley states, as a whole, would appear to be more nearly

sUPERVlsoRAL DISTRICTS

Under existing laws, the Board of Supervisors, at its regular meeting in April, must divide Navajo County into three supervisoral dis tries. To the News, i t seems that the task is an easy one, as the locations of the various towns almost make three. natural division. The town of Winslow should constitute one district, St. Joseph, Holbrook, Woodruff, Keams Canyon, and Heber would make a second dis trict, and the rest of the county could be included in the third district. Anyway, the News has confidence in the present Board of Super visors and feels certain that the divisions made will be fair and equitable and just.
