Two Definitions of Thrift.

Thrift is the handmaiden of indie
pendence. It is not related to greed
or parsimony and will gladly be your
servant.
Thrift is acquiring something when
you have nothing, conserving what you
already have and adding to it.

SCANDINAVIAN GOVERNMENTS
PROTEST U-BOAT WAR

Copenhagen, Feb. 1A.-The Dan
ish, Norwegian and Swedish govern
ments have forwarded the central
powers identical notes of protest
against the barrage of certain sea
zones" according to official infOTma-
ton today.
Denial is registered of the right of
belligerents to ObstTuct peaceful
navigation in zones situated at
such distance from the enemy
coasts. These coasts, it is held, are
subject only to a legitimate blockade.
The Scandinavian note, in cOnclu-
sion, declares the central powers
measures AL the more contrary to
international law, if, as indicated
they are to be applied indiscriminate-
ly, even against ships voyaging be-
tween neutral ports"

terview: "T believe in the Junior Red
Cross not only because Of the great
sums Of money it will raise and the
immense amount of supplies which
the pupils will make, but because of
it's educational and patriotic value for
the children. The work of the Red
Cross will teach service for others
and unselfish giving; it will stimulate
interest in our national government
and its policies; and it will afford a
useful outlet for the youthful energy
stimulated by war conditions"
There are several Junior Red Cross

MEETING VOTES
 ID SELL DOCK
TURNS DOWN PROPOSITION
 NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
Opinion of Taxpayers that Cannery Company be Allowed to Purchase the City Dock or be Given Long Lease on Same.

At a meeting of citizens and tax payers last night at the city hall, af- ter considerable discussion, it was voted that it was the consensus of opinion among the citizens that the Valdez Packing Company be allowed a long lease on their present quarters on the city dock, or if a good price could be obtained for same, to sell the dock to the packing company and apply the money to paying off out standing warrants against the city. The vote was unanimous with the ex- ception of one person present who thought the city should hold on to the dock to prevent a monopoly by other parties.
 In the matter of bonding the town for the purpose of erecting a new school building several parties pres ent believed it would be unwise at this time to attempt to raise money for a new building, as it would be , impossible to sell the bonds, if the citizens were inclined to vote them. The city council agreed to repair the old building and construct new toll cts. and it was finally agreed that the ouestion of a new building be post r poned until a more propitious time.
 Judge John Lyons, Thos. Dono- hoe, and several other prominent citi- zens addressed the meeting, and much interest was taken by those present.
