WHO FEEDS THE GER>IANSo

"Ho FEEDS THE GERNIANSp
Lord Ogllvy says: 1T is the Amer
lean and not the German farmer who
mas made her continuance 70 the war
possible.
During the year 1913 we Skinned
10 Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and
Denmark goods to the amount of
$4O,O1O,165, and in 1916 slS3551
1913, according to figures comniled bv
Frank Bohn.
FOR the last two years Germany
mas fought the war largely on SIM
plies she has received from the Unit
ed States:
There can be only one method of
procedure. If the economic alias
OF Germany-Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, the Netherlands and Switzer-
land-do not agree at once to ston
absolutely all commerce with Ger
many, we must stop all commerce
with them. The most uninformed
'Niy
not only the justice but the absolute
necessity of this relentless policy
If we sell corn TO Denmark, Dem
mark will sell her wheat supply to
Germany. If we sell pork to Hol-
land, Holland will slaughter her
dairy cows and sell the beef in Ger
many, receiving the enormous prices
which Germany now so gladly paws,
1t will not be enough to have these
economic allies of Germeny promise
to export no fooa to Germany. If we
sell anything to Denmark and the
Danes make arms and ammunitions
and other equipment for Germany,
we get Germany's gold for supplying
the weapons to kill allied soldiers,
Just as much as though the arms and
ammunition were shipped from

 The village of Hydaburg is situat- ed on Prince of Wales Island on the West Coast of Alaska. The town was built in 1914 by the merging of three villages of Indians. A cooperative store and sawmill in which is invest ed about $11 900, form the chief occu- pations for the Natives. These are run under their own management, with a board of directors, and every year man goes up from Seattle to audit the books, at their request. The sales of the store are about $24.OOO a year.

NATIVES DO THEIR BIT
 FOR RED CROSS WORK

One day last week the Red Cross headquarters made out a receipt for s27 which will go to Hydaburg, Al aska, to make proud the hearts of some 300 Indians who make their home there, says the Seattle Times. For the Indians donated that sum on the Fourth of July to help out the Red Cross in its campaign of mercy.
 It all started because Phil Morris on, Native and manager of the saw mill at Hydaburg, made visit to Craig, Alaska. While he was in town, which is white mans place, the en- ergetic women cornered him and de manded a donation from him. It was new to him but he decided to take a chance.
 After he had donated his coin the idea of the whole thing was explain ed to him. Like all of the species on the way home he figured how he could get some of his friends to do. nate some money too. The Fourth oi July was approaching and he decided that was the propitious time to make the "strike for money"
 So when things were in full sway Paul Morrison got up and made g speech. He told of the war that was going on and the men whose lives were being sacrificed for lack oi

CIVIC FAIR GIVES
 GLIMPSE OF REAL FUTURE

Stewards Civic Fair opened last night and the big exhibition room of the railroad headquarters building was thronged with visitors, who gag ed with admiration on the handiworks of Nature, hereabout, and also on the achievements of Stewards housewives in cookery and needle work.
 The vegetable exhibit showed con- siderable progress in farming this year over last. A great variety is shown and the vegetables are more matured.
 The flower exhibit Is a revelation to those who did not realize how many flowers there are in Seward.
 Of greatest significance, however, is the exhibition by the children of products from their "war gardens" Publicity work following the declara- tion of war has accomplished much in showing the advantage to the young of raising here what would otherwise be shipped in from Outside.
 One of the best patronized sections of the fair was the Country Store, where for a quarter, the purchaser received most anything from bunch of carrots or turnips up to ham or sack of flour. It is reported that over $10O worth of sales were made.
 Refreshments in the way of ice cream and punch were served by the Hospital Helpers.
 The poultry exhibit came in for it's share of attention, especially the hens which made egg-laying noises from time to time, but so far have refused to produce a sample of the coveted breakfast food.
 A pleasing program of musical numbers was rendered during the ev- ening, after which fortunes were told by one well up in the mysteries of the occult. The ladies in charge of the fair announced this morning that the fair will be continued until Monday night to give all a chance to see the addi- tional exhibits received today from Matanuska and Susitna valley farms, the Willow Creek and Talkeetna min- ing districts and the Matanuska coal fields.
 Tonight there will be d patriotic pa geant, and some of the exhibits will be auctioned to the highest bidder. including a sofa pillow, commemorate ing the victory of Seward over An chorage in the series for the Western Alaska baseball championship and a wonderful creation in cake baking by the Seward Bakery.
 Monday night all of the perishibles in the Matanuska and Susitna exhib- cts will be auctioned.
 The Country Store will be open both nights.
 It should be remembered that all net proceeds from the fair will go to the Red Cross, probably to buy materials which will be made up into hospital garments and dressings by members of the local unit.-Gateway.
