Oak Olson, president of the travel
ing men’s organization while it ex

A1 Chamberlain told a most stirring
piece of history at the Pioneer din
ner last evening of the days when
Johnny Bull was accused of swiping
a bit of Uncle Sam’s property in the
| Chilkoot Pass. A1 told how the
| Americans held a mass meeting and
advanced on the flag to tear it dow n.
No less a person that Frederick
Palmer, the famous war correspond
1 ent, advanced shoulder to shoulder
with our now doughty councilman.
“When we got to the flag,” said Mr.
Chamberlain, “we found soldiers with
a cannon and guns pointing at us, so
j we went back and held another mass

"WHISKEY IS MADE TO
SELL—NOT TO DRINK"
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WALKERVILLE, Ont., March 1.—
That is the sign prominently display
ed throughout the big distillery here,
one of the largest in Canada. Most
of the employes of the concern are
tee-totalers. Police records for
| Walkerville, which is built around the
j whiskey industry, show fewer arrests
for drunkenness than for almost any
other city of its size in the dominion.

TOWN MAKES A BUSINESS OF
MOTHERING WAR CHILDREN
By WILBUR S. FORREST
Special to Gateway by United Frets.
WO KINGHAM, Eng., March L—
This little English market town is the
nation's haven for motherless and
fatherless war children. Hundreds
of juvenile innocents whose fathers
lie buried in France have found new
! homes here. Almost every housewife
in Wo kingham has a new baby. She
probably has adopted it, thanks to the
war.
The nuns at the Wo kingham eon
I vent are busy too, for every child who
is old enough is a pupil at the convent
school. In some cases the father ii
dead but the mother still lives.
Little Tommy Hadley, aged six, is
a notable example. His father was a.
private in the South Lancashire regi- J
meat and he was killed early in the
war. Since that time Tommy's
mother has been ill, so the Children's
Aid Society sent Tommy to Woking
ham. He has a foster mother who
clothes him and gets him ready to go
, to school every morning. One of the
older girl orphans calls for Tommy
and other boy and girl orphans. By
the time she arrives at the convent
she has a happy string of charges |
ready for the day’s lessons.
Many of Wokingham’s orphans
whose fathers and mothers are both
gone are permanently installed in
Wokingham homes. They have
changed their names and will grow up
with “regular" fathers and mothers, j
Some of the children are only mother
less. The father is still lighting
somewhere in the war. If he comes
back, which perhaps he will not, the
child may leave Wokingham. But in
the other event there will be a'*new
adoption in some Wokingham home.
SAVING CHILDREN
ST. PAUL, Minn., March 1.—School
children of St. Paul have $90,386.39 in

sists by taking care of the youngsters'
savings. Approval of the state bank
ing department for this plan has been
given.
