JACKIES CANNOT LAM) TO
SPEND MONEY IN CANADA
FORT WILLIAM, Out., July 13.—
Merchants here and at Port Arthur
today bumped up against a new
hardship of the European war. Un
der military regulations, they found
when navigation opened the gay sail
or lads from the U. S. A,, docking
here, are not allowed to land. Thus
thousands of dollars formerly spent
in these Canadian ports by the boys
will go to Duluth and Superior.
CXCl.E SAM THROWS OPEN
350,000 ACRES IN RAFFLE
SPOKANE, Wash , July 13.—Land
offices are open for those who want
to participate in one of Uncle Sam's
great land-raffles.
Approximately 350,000 acres,
comprising the south half of the Col
ville Indian reservation, will be di
vided into 160 acre ranches and
turned over to settlers who hold the
lucky numbers after the drawing
July 27.
Registration books have opened
in Spokane, Wenatchee, Wilbur, Re
public. Otnak and Colville, wash.
They will close July 22 and a week
later the lucky numbers will be
drawn out, entitling the holder to a
choice of 160-acre tracts.
The Colville reservation is less
than 50 miles from Spokane. It ex
tends from the Columbia river on
the east and south to the Okanogan !
river on the west. It is about 70 miles
east and west and 40 mile3 north
and south.
The elevation varies from 1,000 to
5,000 feet.
Stock raising probably will become
the greatest industry of the land
thrown open to entry.
PROFESSIONAL MEN SEEK
WORK OF EMPLOYMENT Rl'RE.W
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.—Cler
gymen, authors, doctors and consular
agents are among chose who apply
for “any kind of work" at the state
free employment bureau here.
Dr. Edwin Fisher, a graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania, and
former practitioner of medicine and
dentistry, is on the rolls as asking for
clerical employment. He got a taste
of writing while translating some
oriental works and does not care to
go back to doctoring.
Another strange case is that of
Rev. Charles L. Hyde, of Niles, Cal.,
who wants to give up the pastorate
of the First Congregational church
there and go to work as a farm hand
or on a poultry ranch.
G. Levy, Mexican vice-consul here
when Madero was president of Mex
ico, now seeks a job as a clerk, and
Professor T. R. Homer, of Oakland,
“human science expert," author of
books telling how to fit a man to a
vocation, now seeks work as a com
mon laborer.

THE FOR EM.
Make wide the doorway of the school
Around whose sill tie millions wait,
The cradle of the common rule,
The forum of a stronger state.
•
Make broad the bar. and big appear
The questions clamorous to be tried,
And let the final judges hear.
Themselves, the causes they decide.
Write bold the text for age to read
The lesson not discerned by youth;
And raise the altar of a creed
Whose only article is Truth.
i Tho’ fair and dear the ancient mold
Wherein the burning thought was
cast.
Pour not the New World’s glowing
gold
Into the patterns of the past.
Whatever channels lead apart
The currents of the lives of men.
The blood that left the Common
Heart
Shall leap with comm n pulse again
—Wendell Hh r,ips Stafford.
WASHINGTON, .Inly 13.—Miss
Margaret Wilson can feel she has the
law with her in her light to establish
community forums throughout the
country.
The above poem read by her at a
forum meeting here had that signilf
rance, since it was written by Justice
Wendell Phillips Stafford of the dis
trict supreme court.
This court appoints the very school
board that lias refused to allow the
use of district public schools as
meeting places. In a way, the learn
ed justice administered a rebuke to
the school board.
