OFF TO THE WAR.
When the next steamers leave Seward for the states,
there will be between twenty and twenty-five of “Our
Boys," as passengers, off to enter the war service.
Today they are mingling with us on the street, jesting
with us, talking of various businesses, just plain “Our
Boys”. A fine set of “hoys" they are too, brave, splendid
physique, unflinchingly going away.
Within a short time they will be in the training camp;
then to the Atlantic Coast, then over sea and finally at the
front. Then—and then—they will be in the great fight.
Hope is born in every breast; hope is what sustains when
spirits are at the low ebb; yes we all even silently pray,
that “Our boys” will come back.
But they are going, going to help keep us all out of
the clutches of a monstrous, murderous, fiendish kaiser.
And while they are away doing their duty, we at home
must keep up the conservation required, must keep our fi
nances always at the disposal of the government in order
t<* help “Our Boys” over there.
God be with you, “boys", and don't forget that all at
home are behind you to the last drop of blood, all working
for the great cause of Democracy.
AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY THE
VARIOUS BUSINESS HOUSES OF SEWARD
ALASKA IN THE EXTENSION OF C REDIT
Commencing March 1st. 1918. we the undersign
ed have agreed to extend credit only on terms of
“BILLS DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE TENTH
OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING PURCHASE”
Failure to comply with these terms will compel us to
discontinue further credit.
Owing to conditions now existing in the states,
we are obliged to make these terms, as firms who
have heretofore extended us liberal terms, are now
demand ing cash, or close terms.
#
Do not ask us for credit unless you can comply
with these terms.

Live in health and efficiency, but without extrava
gance and without waste. War Savings Stamps provide
an opportunity for each to render a service to the nation
—by lending their savings to the Government, to be return
ed later with interest at 4 per cent compoundtd quarterly.
Rio de Janeiro newspapers announce that Brazil is
prepared to send 200,000 infantrymen, fully equipped, to
France, and waits to be invited to do so. How long would
ihe kaiser hesitate over such an invitation? About as
long as the New York Central Limited hesitates at
Squash Corners.
The British war board has taken a tremendous step in
morality. It proposes to pension the widows and orphans
of men executed at the front for crimes. Amongst other
things, this war is showing some new paths to justice ana
humanity.
U. S. savers are not only helping their country on
ward to victory, but are helping themselves onward to
personal success. Buy War Savings Stamps and be a U.
S. Saver.
We talk about great slaughter in our war. When
Titus took Jerusalem, in 70 A. D., he slew more than 600,
000 people. __
