only added fuel to the fires of
their hatred. Not only did they
at once lay plans for having the
amendment repealed but they set
at naught the will Of the major
ity and deliberately set to work
to make the law Intellectual and
to undermine all law and order
by creating and fostering disre-
spect of authority. We may say
with Paul: I'VE. wrestle not with
flesh and blood but against prin-
cipalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this.
world, against wickedness in high
places" Our opponent is not an
honorable enemy who fights in
the open but sneaking coward
ly, yet ruthless, element that
knows no law no mercy, no quar-
ter. The fight for prohibition is
not finished until our prohibition
laws are really enforced and boot
logging has become SO risky and
so expensive that it will no lon-
ger be the joke an by-word that
it is now. The education of the
masses to a high and higher
standard of law obedience is most
necessary.
The campaign of education
which the w. C. T. U. carries on
must be continued in the same
vigorous manner as before. Pos
sibly this branch of the work is
more important than any other.
Certainly it ranks high in value.
1t includes among other things
having the effects of alcohol
taught in the public schools, ex-
planning the real meaning of GER
tain pieces of proposed legislation
and the position political candi-
dates take on the question Of pro-
hibition, as well as the broadcast
ing of results of anti-liquor cam
paigns through the columns of
our official papers and many
newspapers. The liquor inter
ests fully appreciate the power
of printers ink and we should
not be less ready to use this
mighty factor in forming public
opinion which is a more efficient
law enforcing agent than all the
sheriffs and policemen put to-
gether.
Primarily, of course, the w. C..
T. U. was organized to fight the
liquor traffic and it's attendant
evils. In doing this great work
powerful organization was
built up and many phases Of work
bearing more or less directly on
the main issue were Incorporated
into the aims of the society. AS
for example, the child welfare
work was no doubt an outgrowth
of the work done among the chill
dren who were suffering neglect
because the liquor traffic took
too heavy a toll on the family
resources and they,-the innocent
ones-were in want. The w. C..
T u. became interested in poll
tics because through our law
makers they hoped to put prohi-
bition on our law books.
We hear a great deal these
days about conservation of crops.

Individuality

There are few mortals so insensi-

gained by mildness, their confidence
by sincerity, their hatred by scorn or

heart tells her-our boys and
girls. If you saw poisonous
snake creeping up to your child
you would not rest until you
knew you had saved your dear
one. A more dangerous enemy
than any viper is abroad seeking
whom it may devour-the marco
tic ring. The fight against mar
cotics is still in it's first stages.
If we would save our most valu-
able crop-the boys and girls of
our land must wage unceas-
ing and vigorous warfare against
the fends in human form, the
dope peddlers, who for filthy
lucre deliberately strive to teach
school children an appetite for
drugs that will wreck the fair
young lives. Better by far to
give our innocent babes to den
of ravenous wolves than to leave
them to the tender mercies of
dope agents who ruin not only
the body but mind and soul as
we'll.
My friends, the w. C. T. u.
was not built in a day. Years of
sacrifice were expended ere the
w. C. T. U. grew to be the power
it now is. This organization of
loyal, God-fearing Christian wo-
men has grown to have a power.
full influence. Their reputation
has spread to every nook and
corner of our land and far out
into all nations of the world. The
wet politician knows he will meet
the opposition of the loyal women
of the w. C. T. U. Many times
their condemnation has defeated
damp candidate at the polls.
What a power the woman's bal
lot may be. With it she may
now shield her dear ones from
an insidious and treacherous enc
my. Let us not fail to vote and
to try to get out all the woman
vote possible.
In the six years since prohibi-
ton was adopted several weak
nesses have become apparent. The
latitude allowed in sentencing
dry law offenders is a very real
one. The punishment, especially
for, an old offender, should be far
more severe than is usually the
case now. If arrest were certain,
no bail allowed, trial speedy and
sentence severe and always in
Guiding a Jail term at hard labor,
bootlegging would not be so po-
pular a pastime. Besides the Gull
prit would be physically and men,
tally more fit on leaving than
entering Jail.
Our motto has grown from
For God and home, and native
land" to For God and home and
every land" The nations of the
world are watching us. Men and
women in the cruel clutches of
the hideous monster, Alcohol, are
entreating our help. Though
thousands of miles of land and
sea are between us, yet their
problem is ours to help solve.
America blazed the way. We
must not fail our neighbors on
the other side of the globe. They
are depending on us and we must
continue to aid and encourage
and inspire them that they, too,
may succeed in having the open
saloon driven from their land and
the drink evil classed where it
belongs, as a crime. We must
carry on. We dare not stop now.
Our work is not yet done. Hav-
ing put our hands to the plow
we must not turn back. The task
is set, our duty is clear, the har-
vest is in the hand of God. But
we need not tremble in fear. The
result is certain if we toll on,
praying, For God and home and
every land.
Women of the w. c.. T. o.,
stand by! Carry on! We dare
not fail to do so. God helping
us, we will never say die!

BLALES DAMAGE
CROPS in VALLEY

Ray Angel and Albert Seifert, val
ley ranchers, suffered considerable
loss within the last few days when
fires destroyed portions Of their
shocked wheat crops.
A spark from a passing train is
believed to have been responsible for
the field fire at Che Angel ranch,
where 10 shocks Of wheat were
burned. At the Seifert place, the
blaze is said to have been set by
a spark from a threshing engine. The
loss is estimated at several hundreds
Of dollars.
Because Of the hot, dry weather
the danger from fire is particularly
great at this time.

FORD TURNS TURTLE
 WHEN BOULDER FROM
 HILLS HITS ITS WHEEL

What might have been a serious au- to accident occurred yesterday morn ing on the first hill out of Seward when boulder, rolling down to the roadway crashed into one of the front wheels of Ed. Vogl's car, turning it about over the edge of the road from where it turned a complete somersault down to the bottom of the incline, pin ming one of the passengers beneath it, who was quickly rescued. The engine was still running though the car was in pieces, and gasoline was pouring from out the tank, at the end of it's cross country trip. The engine was finally halted before a further acci- dent took place. Malloy, the trans fer man, was sent out to the scene, at later hour, filled his auto full of parts, and lowed the chassis into a repair shop.

 FAIRBANKS, April 12. (P)-Capt. Wilkins and Lieut.. Eileson after being in the air eight hours and ten minutes, believing themselves over the village of Alatna, vainly dropped messages for assistance in obtaining bearings. Then Eileson recognized Dunbar sta tion on the Alaska Railroad. He then followed the Gold Stream valley to Fairbanks returning like he did from McGrath two years ago when he be- came lost but recognized Dunbar as dusk was becoming into black night. The unmarked, dazzling whiteness of the snow on the Arctic slope is blamed for the failure to locate Sandy Smith.
 The plane Alaskan arrived at seven o'clock last night and circled over the field for ten minutes then made a safe landing. The attempt to locate the Smith party was unsuccessful.

Replete with all modern cOntrivanc es and one of the handsomest restau rants in the north will soon be set tied in it's new quarters in the Holber building, according to Mel Holben, pro prietor of the popular eating house the Seward Grill, who has for months been preparing the building for the move. The new location will have twice the floor space of the present location and over 100 guests will be able to be seated at one time, com fortably.
 The length of the cafe will be 69 feet and the dance hall and banquet ing room will be 36 by 12 feet. Swing. ing doors will be fitted to the many private boxes. The entire interior is being finished in plaster board and the flooring is of maple.
 Nothing has been left undone to make the new quarters without riv- al in Alaska, MT. Holben stated yes terday. The expenditures in remodel ing the building has been tremendous, but when the Grill has moved, MT. Holben is certain real meritorious asset will have been added to the town which will reflect much credit to the community as whole.
 MT. Holben expects to make the move just as soon as the painters and decorators have completed their con- tract, which will be quite soon.

BASEBALL DIAMOND
 RECEIVES COAT OF
 C|NDERS YESTERDAY
FANS TURN OUT TO PREPARE
 FIELD FOR SEASON

Five years gatherings of cinders about the railroad shops disappeared yesterday when a squad of seven men attacked the debris, assisted by two trucks, moving it to the baseball park where another squad of eleven men and boys, scattered ashes from one end of the field to the other. A few of the s. A. c. members, two citizens. and most of the local Boy Scout troop showed up at ten o'clock yesterday morning in response to the call for assistance in preparing the diamond for the coming season, and refused to quit until 5:30 last night at which time the entire infield was covered with clnders, in some places six inches deep. No hard feelings were felt owing to lack of numbers for those who render ed lusty work realized such activities always fall on few of the more en- ergetic in baseball affairs. >"
 The next thing on the program will be waiting for good heavy rain which will serve to weld the cinders and dirt together; then will come the rolling. more leveling, then the final rolling by the heaviest one available.
 Prior to the arrival of the first truck load of ashes the field was gone over by the city road scraper, driven by Henry Frost. All humps were cut down and protruding turf removed. This work alone took at least three hours.
 It is the wish of the S. A. C. to pub licly thank Cal M. Brosius, local lum- Der and building material dealer, for the use of his motor trucks and one driver. Also to Henry Phaeben for the long hours he assisted. The ar rival of the Boy Scouts on the field was a welcomed sight without whose assistance the work could not pos sibly have been completed.
 It is anticipated, now that such a starts has been made, that next Sun day, a goodly number will respond.
 About one o'clock yesterday, the Seward Bakery sent out huge pot of coffee, which, with the sandwiches on hand, certainly was much appreciat. ed by all.
