A WASTE OF MEAT
A correspondent to a farm paper
says put a little salt in the water with
which you wash vegetables and the in
sects will rise to the top. Alaskans
have never found any too large to
swallow yet, and we consider the plan
a waste of both salt and meat.

WILL THERE BE ANY STARS
IN OUR FLAG?
Valdez with the aid of the Granby Mine, which contribut
ed 43 subscriptions with a total of fifty two hundred dollars,
passed her quota mark of $23,000 on the 17th, being only
nine working days from the opening of the campaign. This is
a record of which we may well feel proud.
The Honor Flag has therefore been won and will be forth
coming.
Towns that double their quota are promised a large blue
star in their flag as a special honor.
Our total subscriptions this morning, April 20th are $26,
500. With the campaign only half over and many of the out
lying districts still to hear from, may we not hope to win the
additional One Star Honor as well?
