WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES

The American is a prOdigal crea- ture. Prosperity, good wages, golden opportunities, in this land of his adoption has made a wasteful person of the thrifty European. Economists have walled for years to an inattent- i've public that the American house hold wasted as much as it used. But the garbage cans continued to receive enough food to feed several persons every day; women allowed maids anG cooks to run their households and paid the bills without checking them up at the end of the month: restaur- ants and hotels serve lavish portions that only a gourmand could devour. That there was poverty in another section of the city. another city. an other community, the American de- plored and perhaps gave of his own
 money to alleviate, but he could see no connection between waste and want.
 The food situation this winter and spring has had no remOteneSS for any American family It has affected
 every household. It is lavish house
 hold. indeed. that has not felt the
 pinch of high prices. Americans are
 beginning for the first time in many
 decades to watch the corners. The
 garbage cans are receiving smaller
 packages after each meal Choice
 food enough for two people isn't be-
 ing fed to the dog and cat this spring.
 Potatoes are pared more thinly:
 more whole wheat is used: cheaper cuts of meat are prepared to be quite as toothsome and edible as the costly steaks and choicest rOasts.
 A shoe pinching his own foot is much more effective than an eye-Op ener to waste tor the average Ameri
 can, than one that squeezes the corns of his neighbor, near or far Ameri- cans are waking up to the advant- ages of household economy.--Tacoma

opportunity. We should take advan- tage of the lessons taught in the dew elopment of other lands and profit by them as we endeavor to build up our ouw land. Tn this land. of the last frontier, larger than some of the first class nations of the world, are foun- dations for many varied industries, and homes for millions ready for oc- cupancy with the expenditure of al- most no money, and very little real labor The time is coming when all these will be taken up, and it rests great deal with us, who are all ready here, as to how rapidly they are occupied.
 There is at present crying need for coordination of purpose of eff fort, which. successfully applied, will surely revolutioniZe the entire life of the Territory. Start in the schools and identify them with the work that must he carried out on broader lines if they are to play their part in the flu ture of the land.
 Towns must lay aside sectional diff ferences, outlying sections get in clos CT touch with the towns. No longer will individual effort serve our aims CT achieve our ends. The will of the individual must be fused into the will of the mass. and a unity of purpose take the place of the present hap hazard, hit-or-miss system that pde- vails. All of us may not live to see this accomplished, but we can help the work so that it will be easy Of continuance. and in so doing we will have done oar bit" for this is the surest and quickest way to realize cur dreams of making Alaska the ideal home spot of the world.-Fair- banks Citizen.

Millions of Flags Sold

NEW YORK. May 16.-Unpreced- ented demands for American flags of all sizes from great banners to be fling to the breeze down to small en- blems to be worn in the buttonhole, have swamped flag makers with or ders far beyond their capacity. in- quiry among local manufacturers here revealed.
 One firm said that from it's three factories. working with augmented forces, about 2.OOO,OOO' flags of all kinds are turned out each week. 4 fourth factory, it is announced, had just opened to handle a $10O.OOO government order for flags for va = ious branches of the national military and civil services.
 From the general public, it was said, the greatest demand is for but tonhole flags.
