Patience is bitter but its fruit is
sweet.
■ V
Poultry meat is good to eat. If you
raise it at borne it is ail your own.
Be patient, boys; the clam season
will soon be here in all its glory.
The clam season opens in a couple
of weeks and then—well, what then?
1 isliing parties will not be as popu
lar this summer on account of the
scarcity of baft.
However, the high price of gasoline
isn t very hard on the man who stays
where he belongs.
A municipal election will soon be
here but couneilmanic candidates are
slow in announcing themselves.
Our observation is that there are
lote of women who think less about
their sphere than of their shape.
Furthermore, if some ladies' nigh
ties are as short as their street skirts
they ought to go to bed in the dark.
Work of raising funds for the Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Knights o£
.Columbus goes merrily on in Cordova.
This evening the members of th«
Northern club will entertain at a
smoker and some good stunts will be
pulled off.
Another advantage enjoyed by the
newsboy is that he spends so much
more time in the open air than the
editor does.
Another reason why Mr. Hoover
I should take jurisdiction over pickled
pigs' feet is because they’ve got a
kick in ’em.
Moreover, we surmise that when a
man gorges himself on horse meat at
supper he has nightmares when he
goes to bed.
This, indeed, would be an Ideal win
der climate if we could burn ice in our
stoves and heat our houses and places
of business.
Another reason why a girl shouldn’t
use the wrong kind of slang is be
cause folks may think her friends are
that kind of people.
Just where Cordova will house all
the newcomers expected this month
is a problem that we will allow some
body else to wrestle with.
Another reason why it would be im
practicable for a man to carry a fur
muff is because he would soon ruin it
by wiping his mouth on it.
Of course a Windsor tie doesn’t nec
essarily make a man a genius, but if
he wears it in connection with a dirty
shirt it shows that he is a profound
thinker.
The political tangle among the
Democrats of Alaska will no doubt
prove interesting in the unraveling
between now and the election in No- j
vember.
Our stenographer says she dreamed
last night that she had been employed
as a trimmer in a sausage factory,
and when she waked up she was skin
ning the cat.
A number of our young folk are
looking forward with much pleasure
fo the time when the snow will be off
Eyak lake, so that they can pull off
some artistic stunts on the ice.
Some of the questions which have
arisen in connection with the war will
be explained Sunday night in a four
minute talk at the Empress theater
by Miss Brayton.
Doc Bracken, of the Northern drug
store, says the Daily Times could
easily dispense with its camouflage
column, as he is capable of distribut
ing that mysterious article in a most
masterly and satisfactory manner.
It has been suggested that the
guards at the ocean dock might utilize
their spare time in knitting for the
Red Cross. Wouldn’t Horace Leach,
Sam Brightwell. Sam McKinney, Judge
Hayes, Nels Smith and I. Smith look
cute going to and coming from their
work each day with a large knitting
bag on their arm?

LIKES LIFE KT
In writing to a Cordova friend from
Mare Island, under date of February
19, our townsman John Jones, who has
enlisted in the service of Uncle Sara,
gives a detailed account, of his duties
and the conditions there, as follows:
“I am still in detention, but I expect
to be out on the 26th and we wiTl then
get our ffrst leave on shore. On the
first of March I expect to leave for
’Frisco and will surdy look up your
friends.
“I am certainly glad that I joined
this service as I think the marines are
one of the best trained soldiers, best
equipped and best fed and they are
real popular down here at present. I
expect that we wiTl be here about six
more weeks before sent Cast for our
final training. It has been rather
cold and wet since I have been here,
still r get a chance to see the sun a
little oftener than we do at Cordova,
and am beginning to take a liking to
the country.
“We all got our guns yesterday so
every one Is busy examining them or
going through the manual of arms. All
of our section was down at the hospital
this afternoon to be vaccinated. Am
not sure whether mine will take as
there is not the least evidence of it
yet. Our general routine here is get
ting up at 6:30 a. m., wash, a little
double quick marching, Swedish exer
cises, then back to the barracks and
do our chambermaid work which con

to be made Just so. Then comes our
breakfast which is always fine, always
a good variety, well cooked and plenty
of it. After breakfast we have a
smoke, go out and drill for a period,
then come back to the barracks and
prepare for inspection.
“After inspection we have about an
hour of Swedish exercises, and some
times wrestling and boxing. Then all
go down to the auditorium for our
singing. Imagine the noise when
about 600 hundred of us are assembled
in one bunch singing “Good Bye Broad
way, Hello France,” and many other of
the popular songs. After singing we
are all prepare for dinner or “chow”
which Is the proper name here. After
dinner we have a couple hours of drill
consisting of squad movements, march
ing and out on hikes. Then comes
our school period. After school our
time is our own until chow time. In
the evening comes the show and the
lights go out at 10 p. m. and every
thing Is quiet until the following morn
ing.
“Every Monday morning is field in
spection and the sight is certainly
wonderful with our band which cer
tainly makes every true American’s
blood tingle, and makes yoir want to
go to the front. From Saturday after
noon until Monday morning; the time
is all your own. Every Sunday there
is plenty of excitement and always
a good ball game. The marines are
noted for their good ball players.
“About a week ago the Hearst-Pathe
weekly motion picture man was here
taking pictures of us at different
sports, so watch for these movies.
There are a number of good musicians
here and a few nights ago all of our
company held a stag dance down at
the gym. Of course wre had a good
time but we all missed the ladies. I
heard from Chadwick. He is enroute
to Fort Bliss, Texas. I surely would
liked to have seen him. Awful sorry -
that he didn't get here with me as I
am sure he would have liked It much
better; still he says he likes his branch
fine.”
