THE OUTLAW.
DKKP in the greenwood of
my heart
My wild hounds race.
1 cloak my soul at feast
and mart;
I mask my fare.
Outlawed, but not alone, for truth
la outlawed, too.
Proud world, you cannot banish us.
We banish you
Go by, go by. with all your din. !
Your duet, your greed, your guile
Your gold, your thrones ran never
win
From her one smile
She Bings to me in a lonely place,
She takes my hand
1 look into her lovely fare
And understand. • * •
! Outlawed, but not alone, for love
Is outlawed too
You cannot banish ub. proud world.
We banish yon.
Now which is outlawed, which
alone?
Around us fall and rise
Murmurs of leaf and fern the moan
of paradise
Outlawed? Then hills and woods
and streams
Are outlawed too!
1 Proud world, from our immortal
dreams
We banish you

INSURANCE FOR SOLDIERS
One million young men in the fed- j
eral service has not yet taken advan
tage of government insurance. Toj
those who appreciate the real value
of insurance in civil life, to say noth
ing of military life, this circumstance,
is somewhat startling. It seems tO(
show that the soldiers and sailors i
have not been sufficiently impressed]
with the attractive features of thej
government's insurance plan or are]
woefully indifferent to the necessity
of it.
The families of the young men in
any branch of the service should take]
steps to remedy this situation. It is ]
only fair to the families of the uni
formed men that the latter should be j
prevailed upon to take out insurance,
for pensions will not be granted, and
neglect on a soldier's part now might
mean that his dependents would be
reduced to severe circumstances if he
is killed or permanently disabled. j
The government has offered to in
sure the life of a soldier, who is not
over 30 years old, at $10,000 for less
than $7 a month. In case of total dis
ability the amount will be paid in
monthly installments, and in case of
partial disability part of it will be
paid similarity. The insurance is bind
ing whether death occurs in the ser-i
vice or not, so that, in any event, thej
dependent of the insured soldier is!
made a real beneficiary.
It is claimed for it that the system ■
of insurance worked out by the Uni
ted States government is the best and
most liberal plan ever evolved, and
certainty it is difficult to dispute the
claim. For the soldiers and sailors
to fail to take advantage of it would
be a real misfortune.
RATIONING OUR ALLIES
Mr. Hoover makes out an excel
lent case in explaining the necessity
which drove the food administration
to place the nation on flour rations.
The president’s proclamation, which
was issued to make effective the new
program, reveals the absolute need of
more intense conservation of essen
tial foodstuffs. Only by observing the
government’s program can we feed
ourselves and help to ration our al
lies.
The simple truth of the whole sit
uation is that there is not enough
wheat available to meet the world’s
needs. Germany and its allies are, of
course, disregarded in this computa
tion so tar as the United States is
, | concerned, but without them the
wheat supply must be spread out if
i the American people, the people of
the allied countries and the neutral
' j nations, are to have enough bread to
11 live on until next year's crop is har
' vested. No real American would con
I tend that our policy should be so sel
| fish as to keep all our wheat at home
and allow our allies, who are fighting]
jour battles, to go without.
Prom all sources comes informa
tion that the food situation in Kurope
is worse than it was expected to be
at this time. Kngland has called for
. more wheat and so have the other
’•ountries. They have diplomatically
j passed the whole problem up to us—
where it belongs—by saying that it
is for the ITnited States to say wheth
er their vital needs shall be met; and
it is worth while to remember that af
ter they get what we can let them
have tlyy will still be worse off than
we are.
I The war has upset many theories
ian<l doctrines hut it has not nullified
| the ancient law of supply and de
; maud. With 50,000,000 men under
arms and many, times that number
! engaged in other phases of war work
j there is no mystery in a food short
, age. But it can be offset by just one
| individual—tbe American housewife.
HERR SCHEIDEMANN, socialist
I leader in Germany, indulged in
straight talk in attacking the kaiser's
policies—particularly the decision to
wage ruthless submarine warfare ev
en at the risk of forcing the United
States into the conflict. Another able
heckler of the war lords and his bar
onial junkers is Maximilian Harden,
the radical editor. The fact that these
fiery leaders dare to defy the powers
of Germany shows that the stifled
voice of the masses is beginning to be
heard. Yet it by no means proves that
the kaiser has lost his grip on the
empire.
THE Russian empire today is hard
ly more than a hodge podge of princi
palities. all fighting among them
selves but offering no, resistance to
their real enemy. Under present con
ditions the muzhik has no inspiration
to patriotism to lead him into battle
because he is not sure that Russia is
a country. Apparently the allies have
practically ceased to consider Russia
in relation to the present war.

VALDEZ
The town of valdez
is situated at the head of
Prince William Sound,
and is a city of probably one thou
sand population. It is the center
of the mining industry on the
Sound, both copper and gold, and
is adjacent to and within easy
hauling distance of the salmon
grounds, many fresh water rivers
and streams in Valdez Bay bring
ing the fish in great numbers to
within sight of the town. The
city has one good cannery, which
will operate two lines the coming
season, employing probably one
hundred and fifty persons.
The city offers good opportuni
ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer
factory, a glue factory, a tin can
factory and a box shook factory,
all subsidiary to the fish packing
business. The city owns its own
wharf and the Valdez Dock Com
pany, which also owns a splendid
wharf is willing to give prospec
tive investors a chance for sites.
VALDEZ has a progressive
citizenry, with good high schools,
churches, free reading room and
library, good clubrooms and many
lodges and organizations. Rents
are very cheap, and living is but
little higher than in the States.
Many gold and copper mines
are contiguous to Valdez, malting
this city their outfitting port, and
drawing from its reserve of labor.
The climate is very healthful, the
extremes of heat and cold being
rarely experienced. The mercury
rarely falls below —15 in the win
ter and 70 above is the highest
summer temperature. The sum
mers are delightful and the win
ters far better than those of the
Northern Central or Eastern
States.
VALDEZ is the coast terminal
of the government military high
way to the Interior. During the
summer months autos may reach
Fairbanks from Valdez in 36
hours running time, over a fine
road, through the most magnifi
cent scenery on the North Amer
ican continent. In wmter teams
or dog sleds may be had at all
times. i
VALDEZ has a number of first
class hotels and restaurants, and
the traveler and miner can be as
sured of comfortable lodgings -
a minimum expense. Parties de
siring to outfit for mining or pros
pecting can do so st our stores
far cheaper than in the States,
with men of experience to help se
lect their outfits.
If you are coming to Alaska
the Land of Opportunity, and de
sire a good home town among a
fine class of citizens, buy your
ticket to
