THRIFT AND CONSERVATION1
There is the advice to eat cornj
bread instead of wheat bread. I'ponj
the heels of that advice there arises
some protest that thrift is the ideu,
as part of the common person s war
policy, eating corn bread instead of
wheat bread does not hedp to make
that idea the fact. Corn meal is more
expensive than flour.
This advice and this protest, oc
casionally heard, serve to illustrate
some misunderstanding as to the dif
ferent functions of thrift and con
servation in our war conduct. Thrift
and conservation in certain respects!
and to a certain extent may be con-)
side red as identical in purpose ami
effect. Hut that is not always the
fact. In the case of corn versus
wheat bread, even though the corn
costs more it is our plain duty to pay
the bill, eat the corn and conserve
the wheat.
The wheat will feed our soldiers
who are overseas, while the corn will
r.ot. The wheat will feed the soldiers
of our allies who are battling with the
Huns and slowly pressing them hack
until we have mobilized the strength
to help them strike the decisive blow.
For that purpose corn will not ans
wer. Wheat will feed the civilian
population of allied Europe that must
starve unless we furnish food. Corn
will not do that, because they have
not the means of converting com into
the great commercial volume of food
stuff that would be necessary, and
the corn meal will not stand shipment
from this side of the world.
In these particular respects it is
wheat alone that will serve. Hi*
l‘n*ted States at this time is the
wheat giar.aiy of the world, 1 ut the
supply barely sufficient tor th**
need. It will not be sufficient without
strict conservation. If it shoui.l co..v
us more to eat corn and consenv
wheat, it is our plain, patriotic,
American duty to pay the extra cost
and charge it to war expense.
As one considers this matter seri
ously, and it i» seriously to be con
sidered, the application o. tni> eon
and wheat illustration may be made
to other lin«*> and to the u.>e or con
servation of other food materials.
They can have all kinds of *‘dii>>”,
at Anchorage bat the big day will be |
the eating of the "crow" when the
outside papers reach that burg telling
about the chQrch-like-atmospherc ■
which prevails there and which the
President may be called jjpon to,

Delegate Sulzer, a victim of the
Mariposa wreck, is to urge Congress
to dredge Dry Strait. If the Delegate
succeeds he will accomplish some
thing that Alaskan navigators have
wanted years and years.

So Seward is going to have its lust

RELATIVE OF SEN ARI)
WOMAN ENDS TKOl'BLES
BY A BI LLET IN BR UN
After spending the night in agony
Gom neuralgic pains in the head ami
over the eyes, ex-chief of Police, Or
lando Wells Grant, pioneer of Alas
ka. shot himself in the head at Ket
chikan in his home there, the bullet
going clear thru tho .skull behind the
ear, coming out on the other side and
pluuging into the walls ot the house.
Death was almost instantaneous. This
is the word received in Seward by
Mrs. Orlander, Mr. Grant being her
hall brother.
Mr. Grant had been doing police
duty at Kassan and had just returned
to his home at Ketchikan. He com
plained that he was ill, went to bed
and several hours later startled the
sleeping household by the shot which
ended his lite.
Mr. Grant, who was l>orn in Glou
e»*st» r, Mass., about f>4 years ago, a
member of an old and weil-known
\ew England family, came to Alaska
about 1S82. on a prospecting trip and
located in the vicinity of luring, then
in Ketchikan, when a settlement was
first made hero. He was appointed
the first deputy Marshal in South
eastern Alaska, receiving Star No. 1.
under Governor Swineford, and has
served «m the police force for about
thirty years. He continued prospect
ing. being in partnership with .lames
Bawden, ot the Cracker jack Mine, a
Hollis for a number of years. East
year, while serving as constable tor
♦ he city of Ketchikan, he was replac
ed by Mr. Blackmar. and it is believ
ed by members of his lamily and in
timate friends that ho continually
brooded over the loss ot his position.
Mr. Grant leaves many distant re
latives in the East, one sister, Mrs.
Orlander, of Seward, his widow and
three daughters, Mrs. J. D. Rouns
efell, of Ketchikan, Mrs. T. 0. Maple,
of Seattle, and Miss Marjory Grant
of Ketchikan.
Mrs. Grant and daughters are pros
trated with grief over the unfortun
ate event, and believe that he must
have been temporarily insane xxith
pain, otherwise he would not have
committed tho deed. He had alxxaxs
been in the best of health, ot a lugged
constitution and had never seen a
sick day in his life, ot any conse
quence.
