Food will win
the War;
don’t waste it!
THE WOMEN OF THE WAR.
AFAR amid war’s darkness they suiter
and grow strong.
For courage la their garment and hope
their evensong;
They hide the pain of parting with "till
we meet again,”
Or greet with tender welcome their bruis
ed and broken men.
They give their all ungrudging, nor think
It much to give;
They see their Uvea In ruin, then face the
yeurs and live.
O HEART of selfish sorrows and un
availing fears!
One day of their devotion were worth my
Idle years.
With uncomplaining patience their sacri
fice Is made
So, though 1 i lesser service, my debt of
love were paid.
Take thou, beloved country, the little all
I give.
Who am not born to greatness and yet
would greatly live.
—New York Times.
NO JOKE.
"TT17HT talk about the babbling brookT”
Complr iued the learned Mr. South
"This fact we should not overlook,
A river never shuts Its mouth.”
—Milwaukee Sentinel.
KEEP THE DOLLAR AT HOME
The closer home you keep your dol
lar the quicker it will come back to
you.
Keep your dollar , with the local
merchants and you will have more
dollars to keep.
Here is an illustration or what one
dollar will do:
A banker in a western city marked
a dollar bill and asked that each
transaction in which it was involved
be reported to the bank. The dollar
paid 128 dollars -worth of debts
among the home people. One resi
dent reported . that the bill passed
thru his hands no less than three dif
ferent occasions during the week,
each time to be passed on its .mission
of usefulness.
This shows conclusively what a
single dollar can do if kept at home.
It proves beyond the question of a
doubt the utter folly of sending your
money out of town to make your pur
chases. Just think, dear reader, what
it means to every one in Valdez, if
each dollar you spend pays 128 dol
lars worth of debts in one week.
Think of the hundreds of dollars in
accounts that are carried by Valdez
merchants which could be wiped out
in a month’s time.
Surely the town would be more
prosperous and the citizens happier
if you practiced this plan.
Whatever makes for the prosperity
of Valdez makes its citizens happier.
Prosperity and happiness go hand
in hand.
To be prosperous and happy you
must do your utmost to advance the
interests of the city in which you live.
By trading at home you hasten the
advancement.
HERE ALSO
So long as booze was so'd in Alas
ka we never insisted very strongly
on the payment of delinquent sub
scriptions to this paper, not consid
ering It humane to ask a person tc
give money for the support of a news
paper when he needed it for the pur
chase of whiskey. But now that th«
latter is no longer to be had, we dt
not think hardships will be workec
if a few hundred delinquents to thli
paper, some of three years standing
will come forward and square theii
accounts.—Douglas Island News.
A NEWSPAPER dispatch says the
the German soldiers are wearing pap
er pants. This is one innovation thanl
goodness, which cannot be copied ii
Alaska. Not including vicissitudes o:
the climate, the price of paper makei
these sartorial adornments probibl
tive.

VALDEZ
The town of valdez
is situated at the head of
Prince William Sound,
and is a city of probably one thou
sand population. It is the center
of the mining industry on the
Sound, both copper and gold, and
is adjacent to and within easy
hauling distance of the salmon
grounds, many fresh water rivers
and streams in Valdez Bay bring
ing the fish in great numbers to
within sight of the town. The
city has one good cannery, which
will operate two lines the coming
season, employing probably one
hundred and fifty persons.
The city offers good opportuni
ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer
factory, a glue factory, a tin can
factory and a box shook factory,
all subsidiary t<# the fish packing
business. The city owns its own
wharf and the Valdez Dock Com
pany, which also owns a splendid
wharf is willing to give prospec
tive investors a chance for sites.
VALDEZ has a progressive
citizenry, with good high schools,
churches, free reading room and
library, good dubrooms and many
lodges and organizations. Rents
are very cheap, and living is but
little higher than in the States.
Many gold and copper mines
are contiguous to Valdez, making
this city their outfitting port, and
drawing from its reserve of labor.
The climate is very healthful, the
extremes of heat and cold being
rarely experienced. The mercury
rarely falls below —15 in the win
ter and 70 above is the highest
summer temperature. The sum
mers are delightful and the win
ters far better than those of the
Northern Central or Eastern
States.
VALDEZ is the coast terminal
of the government military high
way to the Interior. During the
summer months autos may reach
Fairbanks from Valdez in 36
hours running time, over a fine
road, through the most magnifi
cent scenery on the North Amer
ican continent. In winter teams
or dog sleds may be had at all
times.
VALDEZ has a number of first
class hotels and restaurants, and
the traveler and miner can be as
sured of comfortable lodgings
a minimum expense. Parties de
siring to outfit for mining or pros
pecting can do so at our stores
far cheaper than in the States,
with men of experience to help se
lect their outfits.
If you are coming to Alaska
the Land of Opportunity, and de
sire a good home town among a
fine class of citizens, buy your
ticket to *
