FOOD-AND THE CUR
A few days ago a submarine de
stroyed a ship load of wheat which was
en route to France, to be used for the
purpose feeding thousands of little
orphaned children.
On the same day and date, here in
this great country of ours many
well-intentioned persons might be seen
thoughtlessly feeding good wholesome
food to some worthless dog: food that
might be used to nourish the bodies
and develop the minds of those little
orphan waifs, and if so nourished many
of them would no douDt become useful
citizens.
ft would be claiming too much to
say that all would grow up to be either
great men or noble women, yet the
least among them would be greater
than a useless dog.
There are four distinct motives be
hind this little communication—J
First: A patriotic desire to answer
the call of our government in the mat
ter of food conservation.
Second: A love of children.
Third: A keen sense of sorrow for all
suflering.
Fourth: A long-established dislike
for a worthless cur when met with in
either the human family or the animal
kingdom. Thos. McMahon.

The following is the order in which
the registrants under the jurisdiction
of Local Board No. 18 are being called

also the order ic which those who pass
the physical test will be called for mil
itary service—those classified in Class 1.
going first, Class II. next, and ao on for
Classes III. and IV.

numbered man will be called ahead of a
low-numbered man on account of being
in a lower class, but in each class all
|
members must run from low to high in
due order.

BIG MASQUERADE
Arrangements for the season’s big
masquerade next Saturday night
(March 16) in the A. B Hall, this
city, are reported to be moving along
swimmingly, and it would be hard mat
ter to find a person who’ll admit that
he will not be on hand. Many persons
are busy making their costumes, and
some very comic, grotesque and elegant
get-ups will bo on the floor. The mu
sic will be a feature of the big mas
querade. and supper preparations have
been placed in competent hands. The
Pioneers of Alaska, under whose au
spices the dance is given will give tl •
“overs” to the Red Cross.
This will probably be the last gigan
tic masquerade before the opening of
the spring mining activities, and being
for a noble cause, the big hall will an
doubtedly be crowded.
FOR SALE—White cabinet sewing ma
chine. A-l condition. Inquire Idit
arod Pioneer office.
