There is a crying need for a float at the city dock, where tlu
smaller boats can tie up with safety. This mosquito fleet brings
lots of business to Cordova, and it appears to us that it would
be the part of wisdom for the council to provide an adequate
and safe place for the landing of this traffic, which means s<
much to the town. It is an improvement that we owe to those
desiring to do business here, and erne that would greatly be ap
preciated by all of the owners of boats.
-:o:
Cordova has more patriotic women than men, judging
from the activity and accomplishments of the former in wai
measures. The women have organized a Loyal League, raised
$.>00 for the Belgium relief fund and are only awaiting the ar
rival of the necessary blanks to form a branch of the American
Ked Cross. The men — well, they principally talked about
their patriotism and accomplished little if anything.
In this day of war and war rumors in which every Ameri
can citizen is now so personally and so vitally interested, it be
hooves the newspaper reader to obtain the most reliable news
and in this condition tlu* Daily Times takes a pardonable pride
in the authentic and reliable Associated Press service it is fur
nishing the people of this section.

Cordova.

clam plants are running to capacity and will put up record

ories of our fallen heroes.

a worse storm if the pirates undertake another aviation stunt
