NORTHWESTERN MAKING
SLOW TIME NORTH
District Clerk Arthur Lang receiv
ed a telegram this morning from
Judge Brown, who is on the steam
ship Northwestern, dated at Ketchi
kan, stating that the ship was mak
ing slow time on account of engine
trouble, and that she would probably
be delayed in her arrival at Valdez.
A term of court had been called for
March fourth, but has been delayed
on account of the arrival of the Judge.
Fairbanks reports a temperature of
six below today, a change of over 50
degrees since yesterday's report. A
climate like that must be heavenly.*
In the matter of food do not mis
take substitution for starvation. The
United States Food Administration
asks you for the former In order to
guard against the latter.
NEW LIQUOR RULING FOR
SOLDIERS IS EXPLAINED
WASHINGTON: Secretary Baker
explained in a statement today that
the newly amended regulations gov
erning serving liquor to soldiers do
not relax the government’s hold of
the situation, but on the contrary are
Intended to strengthen it, as they
will facilitate detection and convic
tion of bootleggers.
The exception which permits serv
ing liquors in private homes to bona
flde guests, he declared, permits Of no
subterfuges and he gave warning that
if the exception was abused he would
deal with it promptly and vigorously.
Advertise in the Prospector.
NO REGRETS FOR GERMANY
"If the Germans here don’t like
American, let them go back to Ger
many, where the poor people live like
swine. It took me three years to save
enough money to get to this country,
and I had to borrow a little then to
get a ticket for the trip. The people
there wear wooden shoes, held on by
a strap across the top, and I wore a
pair when I came here; but I saved
enough out of my first week’s wages
to buy a pair of leather ones. That
was more than I could save In a
month in Germany. They live like
hogs over there, whole families in
two small rooms, where they dress
and undress themselves before each
other. It seemed like heaven when I
got to America and had a room all to
myself.
"The American people have treat
ed me fine, and never once made me
feel like a lickspittle, as the rich peo
ple do in Germany. The German peo
ple here must not take the American
courtesy and forbearance for fear or
cowardice—sir, or they will get
an awful b^^P soon. I know the Am
erican reserve and strength better
than most people of my nationality.
I think they have given us every
chance in the world to get along and

THE REAL SAVING
AND THE FALSE
Merely to hoard money at a time like this is no bet
ter than hoarding food or clothing or fuel. Sensible ex
penditures on necessary things must go on, if the coun
try’s business is to go on, if the country’s war is to end
in victory.
But it is real saving to cut down on needless ex
penditures and lend what you save to your government.
That is the saving of a true patriot who can lflok beyond
immediate convenience to the lasting benefits that peace
will bring.
For such saving your government has devised the
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS. Your government asks
you to invest in them to the fullest extent of yotir ability,
guaranteeing with all the resources of this nation, that in
a few years your money will be returned to you with in
terest.
This is your opportunity to back up YOUR beliefs
in a tangible manner. Make the most of it. _
BUY THRIFT STAMPS for 25 cents and WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS for $4.14 at your Post Office or at
any Bank.
