$50 LIBERTY LOAN—WHAT IT WILL DO
This is Liberty Day. a day when a great drive is be-'
ing made in America to secure the maximum of subscrip-1
tions to the second issue of the Liberty Loan bond. B\
the time The Gateway is issued there are only about two
more hours of the working day remaining in Seward. In
the States the great drive will have ended, east, middle
west and west.' Efforts were being made to swell the!
amount to three billion and it remains to be seen what will
be the results. Although the big drive was on today, thej
date on which subscriptions can be made is on Saturday,
October 27th. The loans are from small to large amounts.1
Just for an educational lesson in support of the govern-!
ment, read what one of the smallest amounts will do, a
fiftv-dollar loan! See what one of the following it will
buy:
Thirteen 13-pounder shells for destroying submarines.
One hundred pounds of smokeless powder.
Eighteen gas masks for a like number of soldiers at
the front.
Enough coal to drive a destroyer 150 miles.
Enough gasoline to drive a sub destroyer 150 miles.
A sailor’s uniform outfit.
Four months’ subsistence for a soldier.
Have you done your part towards assisting the gov
ernment? Both the banks in Seward will take your sub
scriptions and every little bit helps, helps to win the war
for democracy and the people.
TELL IT TO HOOVER !
We have a phrase, “tell it to Sweeney."
Soon this phrase will be “tell it to Hoover" and poor
Hoover will have his hands full. Hoover is the food con
troller of the United States and gradually his orders arei
being issued. This first is conservation of sugar as a fain-j
ine is threatened. There will be the same rule regarding
coal, gasoline, then various kinds of provisions. It is doubt-1
ful if there will come a time when protests will have to be
made to Hoover that his allowances are not enough to
sustain life—but there are always “ifs." We will feel the
pinch of war when we try to secure a large amount of some
commodity and we are told that we can only purchase such
and such an amount and that amount must last so long a
time. Soon the little ones at home will ask for something
and we will know that it cannot be secured because we are
at war. Then will we begin to realize in earnest, up here

in Alaska, that there is a war and we are in it. It is not
pleasant to conjecture what may come but the time is al
ways ripe to begin thinking.
On a blackboard in the Seward Public School was re
cently written “thru” in a sentence. Turning to the dic
tionary the word is spelled "through and the pionunci
ation is “throo.” My, if old Daniel "Webster could only
imagine what was being done, he would turn o\et in his
grave.
A Seward lady remarked the other day that she did
not enjoy the movies any more and she went to the lecent
khaki dance and didn’t seem to enjoy herself. “Getting
too old,” she said. And if one would have told her that,
a hair pulling match would have resulted. Still the wom
an in question can’t be over 23 years of age—and then to
think that she is not even getting towards the oslerized
limit.
We are getting nearer and nearer to the time when a
man won’t be able to put his teet on a rail and his elbows
on a bar. What?
Good afternoon—have you subscribed to a Liberty
Loan Bond or even to the Gateway’s tobacco fund?
