 mission Buildings

Hereafter, when there IS fire in the town of Nenaua or any of the buildings of the Alaskan Engineering commission a general alarm will be sounded by the biz whistle at the electric power house, followed by one or more blasts, as the case nav be, according to the district in which the fire is located. For this pur- pose the railroad reserve and the town- site have been divided into fire districts, the former comprising three districts and the latter four.
 The fire bell, which was installed by the townsite management some time ago near the corner of First and A streets, will continue to be used as heretofore. Anyone announcing a fire from that point, however, is requested to use the blackboard found there as means of directing people to the fire.
 The Commission fire engine is now iii- stalled at the power plant, and it will be operated hereafter by a regular engine brigade, organized among the employees of the Commission. In case of fire i'll the town, the chemical wagon will be brought to A street. uear the fire bell, where the town people will be expected to lend a hand in hauling the apparatus the re- maining distance to the fire.
 The fire signals adopted and the dist ricts ill which the reserve and town are divided are as follows:
 Alarm: At least six short blasts.

The Parcel Post Failure.

The University Wisconsin after exhaustive in- vesgaon of the parcel post system distributing food has set down as failure without the testimony of university experts the public realizes that has not met expectations It satisfied neither producers nor consumers has established general quick and cheap communication the producer and the consumer.
 Many explanations have been given for this failure New York state publication called Table Talk holds that it chiefly due to of farmer himself that is mpractcable for him to sell his products to consumers via parcel post route, because:
 "To sell his and bacon and other meats, to say nothing his other products the farmer must do what every other individual business must do-build up his trade and have his distributing machinery. He must either advertise in local newspapers, he must write direct friends demand for his
 
 Thus drumming up trade is business in itself It is the job of the middleman retaer-a hankless task if may judge from the attacks made on the re- taller or mddeman in the last few years
 Now. the farmer knows the raising of stocks produce much better than he knows the retail busi He reads prcelists from the side of the seller, not of the buyer To keep track market fluctuations while he peddled his meats through the mails would be small task"
 All this is enough But must the parcel post therefore be given up hopeless? it has really made considerable progress in this country considering its short history. Is more progress possible?
 Granting that doesn't know the business end of selling direct to the consumer why can't he learn And why cant he be helped by public authorities who are ought to deeply interested cheapening food distribution?
 Several states have already undertaken such coopera ton through their agricultural departments, issuing bulletins on the of the retail market and the de mand for various products. These bulletins printed in the newspapers distributed free the farmers themselves by mail One of the southern states supplements this with department maintained in group of newspapers, where producers and consum their
 There is much for development along this line And the federal department of agriculture could do much than it is dcng promote the utilization of the parcel post. So could the postofice department.

MY dear Mrs. Gaar:

Your plan to give them to each man

not be my painful duty to pass them
on to another man who should re-
ceive a commission because l have
been assured of one but not Of just

Wayne County Boys
Shy at Enlisting,
Richard Discovers

BY RICHARD, THE BOY REPORTER
Wayne county's quota for the Boys
Working Reserve Is eight hundred
boys; SO far only about thirty-five
have joined.
According to Vernon Brammer who
has charge Of this movement in Wayne
county, a few men in Washington are
working on a plan to draft young men
for this work
At the present rate there will not be
more than seventy-five enrolled by the
end Of the week. We don't want to fall
short Of our quota, at least not that
much.
Why don't the boys want to join and
work on the farms? They would be
in the open air most Of the time and
surely that would be better than work
ing in an office and not getting TO
move around in the air like you would
on farm.

ALL MARRIED
men CHOSEN
HERE May BE
DISCHARGED
Selective Service Board to
Get Specific Instructions
on Whom to Exempt From
Duty.
TO CALL SECOND LIST

All married men, selected to fill
Richmond's quota for the first national
army, may be discharged from mill
tary service for the first army, men,
bers of the selective army board said
Thursday
The board will ask specific instruct
ions from Provost Marshal General
Crowder, chief of the selective army
machinery, whether to exempt mar
ried men, whose wives have other
means Of support
No Set Instructions.
AS yet there have been no specific
instructions issued by the government
covering this point
DR.. F. W. Kruger of the board said
Thursday that he was in favor of de-
Gliding exemptions filed by married
men on affidavits alone, unless an IN
vestigation is made into each case.
And the board is not given the time
to make investigation in each case.
This would mean that every man
filing claim for exemption, whether his
wife had other means of support or
not, would be temporarily discharged
from service. The discharge can be
recalled at any time however and the
married men mustered into the serv-
ice.
Sees Discrimination.
DR.. Kruger claimed that there
would be an unjust discrimination
against some men unless they decide
the case strictly on affidavits sub
mitted.
Assuming that two married men
filed claims for exemption. Both have
children. The board knows that the
wife of one of the men has other means
of support, and refuses to discharge
him. In the other case the board
doesn't know whether the wife has
other means of support, or not and he
is granted discharge solely on the
affidavits submitted.
This is an unjust discriminate
and should be remedied if possible.
May Have to Call 1900.
1t may be necessary to call Il
1000 to 1900 men up for examir
before Richmond's quota of 25
filled, DR.. Krueger said.
Nearly 800 of the men examined y
of the first call, have filed claim +,
Of dependents. 4
Preparations are being made to
notify 500 more men to appear before
the examining board. If the same
ratio continues in the second call as in
the first it will be necessary to call
more men. DR.. Kruger said.
Completed Thursday.
Examination of men, with the ex-
ception of few, in the first call Of
504 men, was completed late Thursday
afternoon and the board was preparinc
to certify the men, who had passed the
physical examination and did not
claim exemption to the district board.
The board will await further rulings
from the governments before the ez-
emptions claims are taken UP and the
cases finally decided on, the men ac-
cepted, rejected, exempted or discharg-
ed.
It is believed that this work will
start within five or six days however.
