same line of business neither one will
really obtain any decided advantage
by knocking the other fellow. In fact,
to the outsider it would appear that
something was radically wrong. 1t is
not in human nature for man to
boost the other fellow to the detriment
Of his own business, and this we do
not advocate or expect, but we can be
courteous and honest, and we can play
the game and compete in spirit of
fairness, always respecting the mot
ives of the other man. Suppose he
does not play the game? Well, that
does not concern us, if he is not doing
SO and is not realizing his obligations
it would certainly be detrimental to US
to descend to his own level.
Furthermore we might point out
the fact that a knocker was never
known to do great deal for his COM
munity. We are competitors, it is
true, but we are also citizens of this
place and there are certain obligations
that we must fulfill as such. Let US
realize the fact that the citizens Of
this community all look to their lead
ing business men for an example. By
competing in a spirit of combative-
ness we may do others harm instead
of good.
What then is our relationship as
competitors?
Is it not cordial feeling toward
each other rather than feeling of
hostility? / know that you will agree
that such is the case. Ny friends, we
meet here for short time each week,
to endeavor to help and uplift each
other. This is the true spirit of Rot
ary. But when we leave here we
should continue to observe that spirit
| in our relationship towards each other.
Let US observe the spirit of Rotary
to the best of our ability at all times.
Though we are competitors, let us
have spirit of friendship and, forget
ting self in our business, whatever it
may be, acknowledge the fact that
we have obligations to each other that
are sacred. If we do this we cannot
go far wrong. We shall be a blessing
to our business associates and credit
to our community.
Always remembering and putting
into practice the fundamental principle

GETTING CLEANED UP

As a boy GROWS UP,
His face grows "DOWN;"
Then he has q CLOSE SHAVE
In the barber's chair.
But that is NOTHING
Compared to the close shave
That comes later when he sits
In an ARM CHAIR
With PRETTY GIRL
Who throws over him
Her cloak of innocence
Then LATHERS him with
The SOFT SOAP OF FLATTERY
Goes over him gently
With the KEEN EDGE of subLlety;
Gives him plenty Of HOT AIR;
And finally applies the cold cream

He energies SHORN like a lamb
But later he comes back,

sent US in the following little poem,
which, however, has no authors name.
Any way we are herewith printing it /:
Who tries very hard to do her part,
Teacher o. mine!
To make me grow to be good and
smart,
Teacher o. mine!
And yet, 'tis true, surely know,
That too oft ! am stupid and slow,
Making your days be long and dreary,
Your mind and body be SO weary.
Teacher O. mine!
The reward will come when years have
flown,
Teacher o. mine!
And your pupils have all from child
hood grown,
Teacher o. mine!
When the noisiest boy of all your band
Will be one Of the leaders in the land,
And the idle girl you had to scold
Will be woman as pure as gold.

ROTARlANS HEAR TALKS
BOY SCOUTS ACTIVITIES

Boys Work was the subject at Ro-
tary dinner Monday the members list
ening to talks by H. d. Eldridge,
scoutmaster. and by H. L. Spencer,
who has been working with the Boy
Scouts in getting the skating rink
under motion. B. H. Jorgensen is
chairman Of the Boys Work commit
tee.
Mr.. Eldridgc spoke of the three
principal activities Of the Gunnison
scouts, as being the rink, local club
room and the proposed cabin in the
mountains next summer. The rink is
coming along fine, and bids fair to
pay profit for the boys who each
give Sc hours of labor free. II there
are profits in cash, they will be used
toward the log cabin. The scouts are
planning on club room in the lower
floor Of the Masonic Hall, which will
be equipped with magazines. boxing
gloves, punching bags, etc. There are
row thirty scouts and the number is
increasing.
Mr.. Spencer is assistant scoutmas-
ter and has been putting in lots of
time on the skating rink. Having had
experience with a similar rink at
Paonia, he knew how to put it over,
and the result is fine place for
townspeople rs well as boys and girls
to enjoy recreation afternoons and
evenings This rink should be good
for a month yet, or until skiing be-
gins.

pleasure to two violin pieces by Miss

CHUCACH FOREST IS
 TO BE CLASSIFIED

Wellman Holbrook, land classifier for the forestry service, accompanied by Henry Frost of Seward, will spend the summer in the Kenai Lake district of the Chugach national forest, work ing up the creeks tributary to the lake and later down Russian River and Resurrection river.
 Under an act of congress of August 10, 1912, the forestry service was di- est boundaries. The classification de- termines the possibilt yof the use of rected to make classification survey of all lands lying in the national for the land for agrcultural, timber re- sources and waterpower sites. The idea originated with the purpose of re- vealing all the land av,x lable for fu ture farm land, segregating this from timber and waterpower land.
 The classification survey has been completed in continental United States and is about half completed in the Tongas national forest. The work will be completed there this year. This work was started by MT. SIolbrook last year in the Chugach national forest.
 MT. Holbrok will arrive in Seward Saturday from Anchorage and will go into the Kenai Lake country to begin his work Jas soon as snow permits. MT. Holbrook expects to be in this section until about the middle of July.

Noise That Annoys Not

Liege is, at this time of the year,
the center of a sport which has no
followers elsewhere.
Attending cock-crowing competitions
is one of the ways In which the Bel
CLAN artisan spends part Of his leisure.
Special ROSTERS are bred for these
contests, and that which outcrows his
fellows is adjudged the winner.
The roosters are placed in cages,
each of which is set an inch or so
from it's neighbors. This proximity, 1t
seems, produces that spirit of rivalry
without which the affair would fall
fiat.
A marker is appointed for each bird,
his job being to note the number of
crows made. AS a rule a match lasts
an hour.

Many Things Haze Been
Subject to Tax LeUies

Carriages were the first subject Of
a tax levy by the federal government.
according to the researches of the con-
gressional library. Snuff and refined
sugar came next, followed by sales
at auction. BY 1913 retailers Of liquor
were made a source Of governmental
revenue, and retailers of foreign mer-
chandise as well. In 1915 manufac-
tured iron, candles, hats, umbrellas.
and shoes, were taxed along with
playing cards.
Coal, paint, cement, marine engines,
and screws were among the articles
upon which the government levied In
the days Of the Civil war. In these
times, too, architects, civil engineers
and contractors had to settle with
the collector of internal revenue. Be
fore the war ended, lawyers, physi-
clans and dentists had been added to
the list and about every one else, In
Guiding all manufacturers.

the army, but he succeeded in or

Burnham's prediction about the Brit

offshore and when night fell her lights

Make Stand on Goat Island.
Burnham rowed across to Goat island.
There was little sleep on the island
that night. They had brought food and
drink-and needed both. When the sun
peeped up from his bed In the ocean
there was curved line of rude earth
works on the island shore.
If they were noticed by the English
commander, he seems to have regard
ed them with contempt. No man was
to be seen on the island and thought
of battle was remote from British
minds when they stood cautiously into
the channel and began throwing lead.
Deadly Musketry Fire.
Then came pun of smoke from the
rocks on shore and a puny musket
shot echoed over the water The leads
man toppled and fell. Another took
his place, and he dropped when a sec
ond musket spoke from shore.
Clear and loud sounded the British
bugle. Sailors manned the guns and
sent solid shot kissing through the
air. Some screamed overhead, while
others kicked up sand and stones or
plunged into the breastworks.
There was no fear in the hearts OF
the brave old fishermen of Cape Por-
polse. Hugging their cover they
home bullets and drove them
straight at gailors on deck or through
open portfolios. They were fighting for
homes and loved ones these grim-faced,
sons of old Maine.
Twenty hours before every man of
them would have ridiculed the idea of
such a one-sided fight, but now they
had forgotten all about odds against
them and picked their marks with
deadly accuracy. The big guns on
board were laundering as they leaped
rom deck, almost pulling iron ring
BOLTS from oak with their recoil.
Shouts, yells, curses and screams of
agony came to their ears from the
ship.

GLORIOUS DEED IN
WAR FOR LIBERTY
How Maine Fishermen Beat
of British Warship.
Conflict That Was in Many
Ways Unique in Battles
on Land or Sea.

On the low-lylng headland of Cape
Porpoise. In the town of Kennebunk-
port. Maine, stands a symmetrical
boulder marked by a bronze tablet
commemorating battle Of the Amer
lean Revolution which stands forth In
the limellght OF history as one Of the
most unusual and extraordinary
fought in the great war for liberty.
The tablet, erected by Maine State
Council, ID. A. r., on the both ami
versary of the battle, bears the
legend:
August 8, 1882, a British Ship of
IS guns attacked a small force of in
habitants gathered on Goat Island and
was driven away by severe musketry
fire, losing II men. Lieut.. James Burn
ham of this town was killed"
The march of seven-score years has
dealt gently with the cape whose
rocky slopes echoed to the wild
whcops of Indian warriors century
before they cast back the sullen boom
of British cannon. For this is historic
ground.
Yonder on Stage island, beleaguered
fishermen fought long and desperately
against overwhelming hordes of saw
ages until heroic Nick Morey-crip-
pied in limb, but stout of heart-made
his perilous night voyage In a leaky
skiff to Portsmouth, 20 miles away to
summon reinforcements, which arrived
when the last split bullet was rammed
home on the last charge of powder.
Worthy of Remembrance.
Only the bare facts of the battle of
August 8, 1882, have been recorded
and few historians have mentioned the
affair. Its effect on the nations des-
tiny was slight, indeed, and perhaps
for this reason 1t has been ignored by
many and briefly dealt with by others;
but the battle of Goat island Is de-
serving of more attention, for 1t islper-
haps the only instance of the Revolu-
ton where unframed soldiers, armed |
with muskets, defeated a ship-of-war |
whose crew outnumbered them ten to |
one.
Such information as is obtninable by |
exhaustive research leads one to be- |
lieve that the day preceding the bat |
