THE CONSTANT DRIP

The constant drip wears out the

The persistent hammering that is
being waged through the columns of
The Prospector is behalf of the buy
IN VALDEZ" movement will surely
bear fruit, for our local business
houses and our city in general.
LOYALTY in these strenuous times
means more than ever before in the
history of the world. Loyalty to the
flag Of ones country is the watchword
OF all America today.
Never before have our institutions
and our country meant SO much to
us. Never has the ensign floating
proudly and unsullied in the breeze
appeared SO beautiful.
LOYALTY to ones country means
loyalty to ones town, and to ones
homeland and to ones friends.
Who is any greater friend to you
than the merchant who carries your
account in sickness and in health; in
good times or bad?
Your very children depend upon
the friendship of the local merchant
for the bread they eat. the clothes

they wear. the employment they seek
In order to buy these things.
There is loyalty In q commercial
sense as we'll as In a military sense.
Every citizen of Valdez should be
Unfortunately proud Of the fact that
he lives in Valdez.
We should prove our loyalty by up
holding our home institutions. Our
business men are the men who have
really made the city what 1t Is to-
day. Their loyalty and energy have
made schoolhouses out of our forests
and homes out of the thickets.
In no city in Alaska can we find
merchants who are more loyal to their
home town or more accommodating to
their customers.
They give freely of their energy
and means for every worthy cause.
Does your out-of-town merchant do
this?
Who DAYS the taxes and keeps up
our streets and our schools and fur
nishes employment, and food and
clothing and medicine?
Your local business men.
Are we treating these loyal men
Justly when we buy out Of town?
Let US renew our loyalty to our
country and to our home town by
spending our money at home.

that we are not so sure of our foot

Pressmen's Home, Tenn, April G, 1917.
To the Officers and Members of All Sub
ordinate Unions of the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants Un-
ion of North America.
Greeting: very extraordinary incident
has arisen in the life of the republic of the
United States as result of the state of
war between the government of the United
States and the imperial German govern
ment, and in view of such the board of
directors of the international body be-
lieves that extraordinary action should be
applied and for that reason this letter is
being addressed to the membership.
honorable effort has been put forth by the
government of the United States to retain
friendly and peaceful relationship with the
imperial German government. The effort
has failed and our country is now brought
to condition of war; therefore it becomes
citizens of the United States to stand
Loyalty by the government.
The board of directors anticipates that
many of its members will be called upon
and will shoulder their share of the re-
sponsibility, in the proper defense of our
that our membership thus indicating their
loyalty to our government should be pro-
tected in the fullest measure possible by
the international Printing PreSsmen and
Assistants Union.
Many great benefits have been estab-
lished by our organization including its
defensive protection its old age pension;
incapacitated, its trade school and its NOR
tuary benefit, and the board of directors
believes that the membership responding to
the call of their country should be fully
protected to the end that these benefits will
apply irrespective of the results of our
national conflict and for that reason the
board of directors calls upon all subordi-
nate unions representing forty thousand
members to grant immunity to those OF
its members who may respond to the call
of the government, from all financial obli-
cations of whatsoever kind. The local
union thru its working members to bear
the cost of the local financial obligations

international financial obligations.
In the time of world conflict our indus

neous trade not as essential as others in
the preservation of our national life; there
fore it is reasonable to assume that from
