ENLIST YOUR DOLLARS
IN THE NATIONS SERVICE
A dollar spent wisely helps to win the war. It helps you.
It helps your family. It helps the country.
A dollar spent thoughtlessly for something which you do
not need gives an unnecessary task to transportation facilities,
already over-burdehed. It keeps somebody needlessly busy
in a position non-essential to our welfare. It keeps valuable
material from finding a more valuable outlet.
To enlist these dollars directly in the nation’s service
helps to enlist these services and materials in the nation’s ser
vice—and, over there, it HELPS TO WIN THE WAR!
You can lend these dollars to the Government TODAY—
all at once, or 25c at a time. Go to the bank or post office or
any authorized agency and buy a Thrift Stamp or several of
them.
They are twenty-five cents apiece. Sixteen of them, four
dollars and fourteen cents entitle you to a War Savings
Stamp. $4.14.
And in 1923 the Government gives you $5.00 for it—gives
you four per cent interest compounded quarterly for helping
to WIN THE WAR.
Every month a War Savings Stamp adds a penny to its
value—because it is earning interest every month. Buy now—
today—and get the biggest return.
Start today with a quarter—or several of them.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE
CITY ELECTION CALLED
FOR APRIL 8KCOND
City politics are warming up, an el
ection having been called by the pres
ent council to be held from 9 a. m.
to 7 p. m. April second, in the town
hall of Valdez. The registration books
are now open and J. A. McGilvray,
the registration officer, will be on
hand at all seasonable hours to regis
ter qualified voters.
Seven members of the common
council aro to be elected to serve for
one year, and one member of the
school board, who will act as presi
dent.
So far as the Prospector is con
cerned it would prefer to see the pres
ent council re-elected without oppo
sition, if the coming election is like
ly to develop any hitter factional
tights, which the town has been free
from for the past two years. We are
not in city politics and have no choice
in the matter, and merely make this
as a suggestion. The present council
has been saving, energetic and on the
job at all times, and being composed
of representative business men, has
given the city a splendid administra
tion.
In the matter of the schools we be
lieve the present board has given gen
eral satisfaction and should succeed
itself. No real benefit can accrue to
the city in making any changes in ei
ther the council’of the school board,
and the members of both sides should
be solicited to run again
