BUY SEATILE MADE GOODS Sparking Her Over Again Y WORD! It looks as if Uncle Sam would go to sparking Miss Canada again! ‘ The lady is much perturbed over the idea that when _ Japan pitches into Uncle, Alaska will be” first taken and ently settled by the little brown folks. Listen to ire Vancouver News: 3 “This is a matter which Canada cannot regard with _ indifference. The United States is by far the pleasantest, safest neighbor we could possibly wish. At the mere thought of another power in possession of Alaska, every Canadian | | feels his flesh creep, his hair stand on end. We simply could) " Mot tolerate it, and should be compelled by the most obvious 3 mts of our own safety to join our forces to those - @f the United States in an attempt to drive out the invaders.” | E And Miss Canada sees Uncle’s weak side, too, and “she doesn’t intend that any brown heathen shall sneak up and 7 swipe him, perhaps when he’s down on his knees in the very fact of proposing. So she says: , “Canada has in contemplation the early construction of wm railway through Northern British Columbia to Dawson thence to the Alaska boundary. Branch lines would be j to connect the main line of the Grand Trunk railway " with the harbors of Alaska. This would be an immense | commercial advantage to Canada. It would necessarily be ) followed by the construction of a network of railways in : extending to every part of the coast that is worth as The very sight of these railways on the map 3 suffice to scare away the would-be invader, for he : know that Canada, in order to safeguard her own vital iE would instantly place her lines at the disposal of _ the United States for the transportation of troops and sup- Now, wouldn't it be cunning in Uncle Sam to break up ) that Anglo-Jap alliance by becoming son-in-law to John Bull? 4 MORGAN’S OLD bank syndicate is going to take whatever 6.

Living Up a Tree PPVHERE is a genius in the colony of Arden, Del, who has ‘ contributed a new fancy to this age of innovations. Arden, you know, is inhabited by poets, artists, writers and freaks. So if you consider that this chap’s fancy is sish, pray consider the source. He used to live in a cottage. But that had one disad- It was living like other folks. Ardenites are noth- ee if not singular. So it was up to him to live uniquely. | ‘This is what he did: In front of his shack were two dy trees, crotched to hold parallel planks. He laid the two planks, rigged up a roof, curtained the sides, ran up a d and moved up a tree. Here, as he snoozes on his collapsible cot, the zephyrs ck him tly, the bird chorus utters its matutinal chant and the bill collector secks for a victim in vain—for at night ladder is always pulled up. Maybe it’s not as original as it seems. Come to think ii smacks a good bit of old Robinson Crusoe, and in wilds there are tree men who have housed them- in this wise doubtless for thousands of years. Still, it’s a novelty in Arden, as it would be, gentle reader, your own back yard.
