THEY WELL SELLING linXES I OK FOOD IN ENGLAND
Over in England at the height of the meat shortage and before the pop
ulanee was put une i at ion*, they ."*>ld hones at the rate of fi\e pounds for one |
shilling. Policemen regulat'd long lines of people patiently standing out on |
the aide walks, waiting, not for their favorite matinee idol to pass, hut for a
chance to enter a 1\od shop and buy a small quantity of food. It takes
about three minutes fot the shop keepers to dres*s their wondows over there,
merely because there ar . peihaps. but a few cans of condensed milk and a
box or two of corned beef to be displayed.
Yet over in America, bones, hay, even fats and precious scraps of meat
are going into the garbage pails. Although in many cities there were long
lines of people waiting last winter for supplies of coal, there has as yet been
n<» pinched-faced mob pleading for food. True,there are frequently long
lines of people on the street, but mostly they are buying tickets to shows.
In the busy street." in towns and citiec. shop keepers display elaborate arran
gements of all kind." of delicacies in their sho wwindows. They would
scorn a “display” of corned beef and condensed milk.
The accompanying pictures are from the Official Press Bureau in London
They were sent over to tbi." country for the express purpose of showing Am
erica what England was actually facing. A country in such straits not only j
needs help het self, but cannot possibiy be expected to contribute to the
support of United States troops now on the others side. The food shortage
is real. Save food and “Carry On”.
_
The Seatt’e Dost-lntelligneer, commenting upon the shortage of labo: I
in Alaska, says if the people here can hold on until after the war, and it
predicts that they will, they will have the greatest rust of people hoi-o that
the Territory has yet witnessed.
If there is one class of AU.. kans to whom Delegate Sulzer’s Alaska
program should appeal more strongly than to any other class it is to those
that work. Mr. Sulzer proposes to bring the government of Alaska to Al-1
•ska where those who have not the time or money to develop a pull at Wash
ington can participate in it. The working people of this Territory can take
part in the solution of the fisheries and the other government problems when
the power to participate in them is brought to them here where they live and
work. Self-government is the opportunity of the workingmen. (Juneau
Empire.)
NEWSPAPERS INCREASING PRICES
—
The Seattle Times has raised the circulation price for its daily and
Sunday editions again. It is now $15 a year within the State of Washington
and $18 a year outside of the State: This is the third raise it has made since
the price of paper begun to advance. The Times’cireulation price formerly
was fifty cents a month or $G a year. It was raised to $8 a year, then $9 and
now to $15 and $18, or $1.25 a month to Washington State readers and $1.50
a month for those outside of the State. 7-fig
In advancing its subscription price the Seattle Times is following

piecondents of Eastern papers. The New York World, formerly $8 a year
now .>!(). The New York Evening Post, six issues a week (no Sunday
j edition) is now .810 a year, the Cincinnati Enquirer has raised its prices
Yom a year to $14. And so it has gone everywhere.
This advance in price is due to the increase in the cost of paper, ink,
Linotype metal and other supplies, and postage rates. Papers everywhere
Tiave found it m essaty to increase their prices to prevent a deficiency in
operation expenses.
The <iovevnment plans to take active control of the medical profession
