tried to borrow Taft’s blit Taft could

have a saddle made to order so tb*; j
poor general was finally obliged to.

A PATRIOTIC PARROT.
During the conservation movement
at Anchorage AI Shyman conceived a
new regard for the intelligence of the
bird they call the parrot. While act
ing as a campaigner in getting food
pledges, he approached a house and
knocking loudly on the door inquired
whether (lie occupants would like to
sign the food pledge. A rather high
pitched and squeaky voice said "sure
tiling." .Vlr. Shyman tried to enter
and failed. lie then went to a window
and was amazed beyond expression
when tie discovered that the voice em
anated from tlie throat of a parrot, j
lie stated that the campaign must I
surely be a success when even the I
birds want to sign tip.

ALASKA HEADS IJHT
The Official Bulletin for January 7 '
gives a list of banner communities in
regard to voluntary enlistments. Ore
gon heads the list. No mention is
made of Alaska or Washington. If a
close count had been kept of the men
who registered in Alaska, and who
left here for the outside for that pur
pose Alaska would have had undoubt
edly held the record. Manager Brad
ley stall's that it is his belief that if
Alaska is given credit for the volun
tary enlistment of the drafted men,
her quota would have been filled and
it would be unnecessary to have a
drawing. Few outside communities
can excel the record already made by
Alaska.

ASKS FOR CREDIT
The Ketchikan Miner voices a pro
test which is probably general thru
out Alaska. One of its reporters wrote
a lengthy article secured from a not
ed educator and one of the westward
papers comes out and prints the story
word for word giving the credit to
the associated press. No wonder the
poor reporter raised a meek voice in
protest. Several others feel like do
ing the same thing when they see
their articles written word for word
in some other paper and no credit:
given them.
