Make The Almighty Dollar

Germany, Europe, the world, is
watching the United States right now
more than ever before awaiting
news on the sale of Liberty, bonds. I'm
less this bond issue is greatly over
subscribed by American men and
women before June Is, Germany will
sneer at all our high-sounding words
about freedom, justice and the rights
of mankind. In her eyes the almighty
dollar will be our idol, and all our
patriotism will be branded as hollow
talk.
For nearly three years our news.
papers, statesmen, preachers and edu.
Gators have constantly declared that
America has high ideals, that we
stand for liberty, that we love man
kind, that we hate tyranny, that we
are slow to wrath, but mighty when
aroused. Well, the time has come to
prove whether these fine sayings are
true.
Our government now puts us to the
test, We are in the war. War takes
money, and the government proposes
to raise money by selling Liberty
bonds to the American people. The
question isl now UP to you. You can
buy on bond for $50, or as many more
as you desire. Liberty bonds are a
perfectly safe investment.
The hour for American manhood and
womanhood to act has come. 1t is
here now. Subscribe at once for your
Liberty bonds.

safeguards to reduce their danger to
the minimum, to strengthen their spir
its, to encourage them to victory :?
Then remember that you can help. To
maintain and safeguard your boy at
the front takes money. Our govern
ment needs that money now. To raise
it quickly, to make victory sure, to
shorten the war, to save your boy and
your neighbours boy, the government
asks you to buy one or more Liberty
bonds. These bonds can be bought for
$50, $500, $500, $1,000. They pay in
terest, they are free from taxes, and
you will get back the entire principal.
Don't just sit around and wish for vic
tory, peace and the safe return of the
one you love. Buy as many Liberty
bonds as you can and help to make
your wishes come true.

EInbattIed American
Farmer of Year 1917


Times change. In the Revolution
airy war it was the "embattled farm
ers" who fired the shot heard round
the world.
Today the American farmer is again
doing something. that will be heard
round the world, but in a different
way
The world is waiting on the Amer
lean farmer for its food IT'S hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops, and it will pay him
well.
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never see. For our boys
at the front will be well fed and cour-
ageous, thanks to his industry and
patriotism.
Nor is the farmers part in this world
warm this greatest catastrophe his
tory has ever had to record limited to
producing food. He has his part to
play before crops are ready for har-
vest For right now, the nation needs
the farmers support In a different
way. 1t needs his cooperation on Lib
erty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will
need for their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government will
pay every bond buyer 81 per cent in
terest, free from all taxes, and will re
turn to him the entire principal. Lib
erty bonds are safe, sure, profitable
investment.
1t is the hope Of President Wilson
that not a single farmer Id the coun-
try will be seen without Liberty
bond button in his buttonhole.

The Nenana news., 1917-06-16

While we have no reason to complain of present activity along the waterfront, the real work of the season will not start until the first through boat arrives from the upper or lower river. Already there are vast quantities of freight awaiting shipment at WhitehorSe, material and supplies for the Alas kan Engineering commission and spring stocks for Nenana business men: and ocean boats will soon be arriving at St. Michael with ad- ditional freight, the greater part of which will be unloaded at the Ne mana waterfront.
 With this freight also will arrive many strangers, some coming in search of work and some to see the country. There IS assurance that the number of newcomers will be considerable, despite the fact that conditions on the Outside have undergone rapid changes dur ing the past several weeks--chang- es which will tend somewhat to interrupt travel moving in this di- rection. Early arrivals bring the report that many small boats are moving down the Yukon, headed for Nenana, and almost without exception representatives ot the steamship companies are predict ing an unusually brisk travel toward the North, the early bookings in- dicating that thousands of Outsiders will visit Alaska during the sum- mer months.
 All of which indicates that the people of Nenana may expect a lively summer apart from the actual work of rushing the steel in the direction of the coal fields. a task which is being pushed as rapidly as labor and material will permit and which will assume additional importance as the season advances.
 The bazaar which is being held at the Tennis court today under the auspices of Red Cross and Belgian Relief fund workers is worthy of support. Every man, woman and child Ill Nenana should visit the bazaar and help the ladies to make of the affair the success it deserves. There are hundreds of things, pretty and useful, on sale, and the purchase of any one of them will help to relieve the suffering which is resulting daily from the great war. It is the duty of those of us who are not actually engaged in the bloody struggle to assist in some other way, and the bazaar affords us the opportunity

to do so without inconvenience. The ladies have so arranged that those who purchase get full value for their money and the knowledge that we are helping good cause should add pleasure to the trans action.

A recent report of the city treasurer at Valdez shows that city to have municipal property worth S34, 1000.

should add pleasure to the trans action.
 There is no reason why any family in Nenana should be de- pendent upon Outside or even local markets next winter for po- tatoes. Commissioner Thomas Riggs, IT,, has announced that he will provide seed potatoes at actu- al cost to any desiring to plant potatoes and an ordinary lot is large enough to supply the needs of several families. A little work at odd times will do the rest, and the ground will be the better for having been planted.
 While it is hardly possible to prepare the new ball park for use this season, it is not too early to think about putting the ground in condition for next year, and doubt less the Athletic association will give this matter attention at an early date if it has not already done so. The waterfront grounds are good. better than any that could be made in single season. and the ballplayers and the public gener- orally appreciate the fact that the grounds were made available only through the cost of no small amount of trouble to the Commission; but we cannot hope to have the use of the waterfront indefinitely. And besides we must have a location where accommodations can be provided for players and spectators and where the improvements will be of a permanent nature.
 When the association decides to start work on the new grounds it will find the public readyt to ren. der such assistance as may be needed.
