FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his Insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots listed.

| BOOM TOWN OF
CASPER BAS
COLLAPSED
(ssajj pappossy ^H)
Many Alaskans returning to Seattle
report Casper, Wyoming, the boom
ell town, petered out, real estate
worthless and many prominent pro
moters who won and lost on curb oil
stock promotion and speculation,
scattered for fear of a government
investigation.
For nearly six months Casper was,
touted all over the coast, as the only
rival of the Klondike, wide-open and
booming. Recent arrivals claim that
within a month the lid was slammed
on Casper, many of the wild-cat oil |
schemes died and when they left
those remaining were bemoaning the
collapse of the mecca of the west.;
At one time during October Casper
has close to ten thousand population.!
Today those remaining want to sell,
and the new arrival refuses to buy.

IN WAR TIME.
Now listen children and I’ll tell
Of the things you must no do!
And heed me well for Uncle Sam
Is asking help of you!
On Sunday, go to church and pray
That we, the Hun may beat:
On Monday do your little bit,
But DON’T YOU EAT NO MEAT!!
?
On Tuesday, leave all wheat alone,
But gorge yourself on rye;
And watch your step lest you should
slip
For yoa can’t have any PIE!!!
On Wednesday give the Red Cross
All the change that you can spare;
But don’t forget the Y. M. C. A.
For that is only fair!
On Thursday get your knitting out.
And knit the livelong day.
On sweaters, helmets, caps and mitte.
Use yarn of brefwn> or grey!
On Friday, you’ll be serious,
For this one is no> joke,
Do anything on earth you will.
But for Lord’s sake DON’T
SMOKE!!!
On Saturday, if tempted'
To buy a drink or two.
Remember in a few more days,
NO MORE COCKTAILS FOR YOU!!! j
And if you should be reckless
And really order one.
Auction it for the Red Cross.
My friends, it has been done!!!
Now while all days have ONE com
mand,
Don’t let your courage fail,
For soon you'll reach the "NO MORE,
BOOZE”
And the LONG—LONG—TRAIL!!!
