Xf ■'fou can isolate yourself from civilization
And cue yourself from ail the girl friends that you know,
If the crowded cities with all it1 s facilitation
Offers no inducements out only utter woe,
If you can labor every day unlo uding coal sacks
And in the winter shovel rariny tons of snow,
If you can trail up mountains ai'id over broken hog-backs
And do not care when you ret’irn or -There you go:
If you can live on coffee, beans, bacon aiid boiled rice,
Or running short of the36 can li,r© upon the land,
If you have’knowledge of all the draining Regulations
Or if called upon can lead an Array hand,
If you can qualify with the service dpringf iel i rifle,
The pistol, auto-rifle and tine hanl grenade,
If you can pull the snappiest kinl of drill and ’tig-wag,
iind act as Uergeant ilajor on Retreat Parade:
If yon can make up a bunk without a single wrinkle,
And always be a model barrack soldier too,
If vou can pack a hunired pounds on the trail and travel,
Or build a soruce cabin v cottonwood canoe,
If you can get up laughing on a wintery morning
And care not if you ever see the rising sun,
If YOU can do these, there is a career here awaiting
y-' In Alaska, as a soldier, for you*, nr/ sont * '
