show him how to make it go
against the wind, lie says lie did
not see anything of Rue and Lind

UNCLE 8AM BUYS GOAT8

Washington, D. C„ Jan. 22.
The War department has posted
this advertisement:
"Wanted, by early spring, 20
goats, Billies ami Nannies, at
Port Washington. Goats must he
healthy and strong."
Fort Washington, not far from
Washington, is the happy breed
ing and hunting grounds of the
malaria-bearing mosquito. It re
quires uiui'h quinine fo keep the
soldiers lit. it is believed that a
herd of goats will bring about
better conditions—eat up the
jgrass and shrubs that harbor the
mosquito. Besides there is the
antipathy the little insect has for
pungent odors. Leaders of the
movement say that livery stable
men keep goats to drive away
(teas. The War department does
not want any fancy goats, In ‘ the
I old, I in-can-eating variety. A
bunch of pedigreed Angora goats
died from poison ivy eaten neat

ID DUUMTE !
II GYMNASIUM:
Local Aerie Eagles Take Steps to
Encourage Athletes to Devel- j
op Dormant Abilities.
i
A meeting will be held tumor
ruw evening at Eagles hall for the i
purpose of organizing an athletic 1
club and to consider ways and !
means of securing a gymnasium '
for Valdez. For some time past I
this matter lias been under <lis_ j
cussion by local atlielet.es and 1
quite a number have already sig
nitied their willingness to join
together and start the hall ndl
nig.
At various times within I In
past. live years efforts have been
made to start a gymnasium here,
but each time there seemed to lie
some hitch before the plans ma
terialized. Two years ago the Y.
M. C. A. was organized with quite
a llourish, as many will remem
ber, and at that time it appeared
ttiat something would be done,
lint tin? funds were invested in
real estate and the matter was
dropped.
The local aerie of Eagles have
had Hi is mailer under ronsidera
ion sinee their new hall was com
pleted lull have hesitated to start
a gymnasium, fearing that it
might injure their excellent dance
Hour. It is now believed this
difficulty can be overcome and
that a gymnasium can be equip
ped and maintained at a enmpar
itively low cost.
Almost every small town in tIn
states boasts an atheletic club of
some sort and there is no reason
why Valdez should not get in line.
A gymnasium properly conduct
ed affords many oppurtunities
for physical training which are
not now available to the people
of Valdez.
It is the intention of tin- pro
moters to provide special days
for ladies, also children, thus
giving everybody an oppurtunity
to use the gymnasium.
