LUNCHEON AT
i MIDNIGHT ON
BOATS IS OFF
—
Complying with Food Administra
tor Hoover’s appeal to the nation to
conserve as much food as possible
during the period of the war, the
Alaska Steamship company has de
cided to discontinue the custom of
serving what is called the midnight
luncheon.
Notice of this new departure of the
Alaska Steamship company was ic
ceived on the Alameda this morning.
All companies are conforming to the
request of Mr. Hoover and the gen
eral public will accept the discontin
uance of the luncheons as patriotic.
To one who has traveled on the
steamers, much of the midnight
luncheons are wasted and the food
that can be conserved by doing away
with them is more than the average
person is aware of. Tin* discontin
uance of the luncheons will discom
mode no one and will be patriotically
observed.

Cablegram Received from Division;
Manager at Seattle Unfolds
the Plan for Giving Cheer
to Soldiers and Sailors
The American Red Cioss is pro
viding for a Christmas present forj
every soldier and sailor abroad and;
at home and the local chapter receiv
ed a cablegram last night from C. I).
Stimson, in charge of the Red Cross
division at Seattle, concerning the
movement. The cablegram, which is
as follows, explains itself:
“Can your chapter provide its allot
ment of one hundred packets? These
must be in the Division warehouse by
December 10th. If you can send us a!
contribution of $1 per packet, with •
list of contributors, we can have*
splendid packets prepared for you and i
send them to our men with card on-!
closed bearing the name of the con-1
Iributor and chapter. These presents
mean much to our men and we shall
welcome vour assistance.”
t
Miss Wold, secretary of the local
chapter received the cablegram last
night and made its contents known at
the bazaar held by the ladies of the!
Methodist church. Several contribu-j
tors readily responded.
Now this is what the cablegram j
means—if you have one dollar 01 •
more you can leave it at the office of!
the Gateway with your name, being i
a contributor to the Christmas pack-'
et campaign for soldiers and sailors.
The Gateway will receive all contri
butions and the money will be turned
over to the Red Cross officers here
This campaign will end on December
first and the money will be wired to
Seattle, as per the above cablegram.
The packets will be made up at Seat
tle as the time is too short for pack
ets to he made up here. The contri
butions are therefore solicited. Any j
two persons can make up a $1 con
tribution, they to decide which name
shall appear as the giver.
The campaign will be a short oncj
and “hustle” must be the keynote.
The following contributed at the
Methodist bazaar last night:
Mrs. John A. Nelson.$ 1.00
Miss Edna Robb . 1.00
Frank Ballaine . 1.00
