THE HOOVER PLEDGE

We are hearing so much about e.
economy of food nowadays that
some of us are getting little tou-
! chy. And yet, it seems, there are
still many Of us who do not under
stand the present meaning of the
word We think of it, as we always
thought of economy-in terms of
dollars, and Mr.. Hoover is asking us
to think of it in terms Of. food. It
is not for the sake of our pocket
books that he is making his camp
align, but for the sake of making the
food go around.
When we sit down to the family
dinner, we do not expect the head
of the house, because he does the
carving, to help himself abundantly
and skimp the rest Of us. Uncle
Sam now sits at the head of the
World Dinner Table-and the table
is not too we'll filled. Mr. Hoover is
asking him to apportion the dishes
so that all his children shall get a
square meal.
There is not enough meat and
wheat in the world for everybody, if
we waste a bit or if we eat more
than our share. So don't be selfish
not on account of your bank account,
but because you want the boys at the
front, our boys, and the brave men
Of brave France, almost bled white
and fighting our battles, to be we'll
fed. There is the same. necessity
with fats and sugar. =
So eat perishable foods here at
home in order that the grains and
meat that will bear transporting
may go where they are more needed
And eat the things that grow near
you, because trains are needed to
carry men and war material and we
have no right to ask them to bring
us luxuries from afar when the very
safety Of the world depends on eff
ficiency in other directions.
Food conservation, then, is not a
matter of personal choice. It's a
world matter, in which every one
ought to do team work.
Is it fair to our men at the front
who are offering their lives for
world democracy, that women should
fail in helping to feed the world de-
mocracy?
But it is not only a>woman's prob
lem. Although 80 per cent of the
food eaten is served in homes, re-
member that while mother prepares
it, father and the children eat it.
Women must keep in mind the world
necessity and the world program
while they are getting dinner, but
the rest Of the family must cheerful
ly accept the changed menu and
learn to like war breads.

CAN THIS BE TRUE1

The san Francisco papers Of July lG contained the following:
 "The Union Iron Works, a subsid- iary of tho Bethlehem Steel Com pany. has recently leased waterfront property at Juneau, Alaska, where marine ways will be built for re- pairing ships as the parent plant is already overflowing with orders for new construction"
 Tho authenticity of the above is questionable as nothing has been said about it at Juneau where, if such lease on waterfront property had been taken. it would surely have been announced. Also, if Juneau needs all her frontage for her fish industry, Douglas might spare a mile or SO if the Union Iron Works cares Co cast its lot with us.

NENANA. July 17.-At a meeting held here yesterday afternoon and attended by approximately loo la- boring men and residents of the town, it was decided that a labor or ganization should be formed here. A charter for membership in the Alaska Labor Union will be requested from the headquarters of that or ganizatlon at Anchorage. and a com mittoc was named at the meeting the duty of which will be to notify headquarters of the action of Che local organization and ask for a char ter. Eighty names were attached to the petition for a charter circulated yesterday at the meeting, and the sum of sixty-thrcc dollars collected for the purpose of dofraylng the cx- pcnsc of organization.
 The organization of labor here is believed to be the outcome of the recent strike of a number of mem bcrs of the steel gang, when thirty eight men quit work. These men have not returned to work, but their places have been practically an filled. and it is now stated that the work of laying steel and graycling the roadbcd is now progressing more rapidly than ever before.
