CITY TO GET BONDS

The Women's Territorial Commit tee of the Council of National De fensc has been asked by Mayor Elm cry Valentine to take charge of a Liberty Day celebration for We'd nesday evening, October 24th, the proceeds of the affair to be invested in Liberty Loan Bonds for the City of Juneau. tu,
 Mayor Valentine has named the following members of the various womens organizations to have charge of the affair:
 Chairman, Mrs. Josephine G. Val entine of the Juneau Woman's Club, and the following

 The members of this committee will meet tomorrow to make the preliminary arrangements for the celebration.
 Two Purposes To Serve
 'The City cannot purchase Liberty Bonds out of the treasury" said Mayor Valentine" but there is no reason why the people of the city should not contribute to fund for the city to purchase bonds. There is no knowing when some of our own people may come home from the war maimed and in need of the city's aid, and Liberty Bonds would fur pish fund that could be used for that purpose. If such contingency should arise, a celebration such as that proposed would result in two good things-the government would be aided now by the money sub scribed to carry on the war, and someone who had given more than money to his country would have, the protection the bonds would provide

Inlay is a model town in some
ways, and peculiar in others. There

doctors and no red light district,
There is no church in Inlay and no

$4,000 JOBS given
OUT BY UNCLE Sam

Washington. d. C., November 19--
Nearly $4,000 appointments were
made TO the forces Of mechanics,
helpers, and labGrers at navy yards
and otter laval establishments during
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1917.
and since that date appointments have
been made in increased proportion.
An appropriation of $~7,500,000 is
low being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun factory
at Washington. which, when com
ple.ed, will furnish employment for
1000 or more skilled mechanics, in
addition TO the 5000 already at work
in the plant. In this mammoth fac
tory, one Of the best equipped and
most interesting in tie world, are.
built the great guns 70, our wal YES
sells, which carry to every country
the message of Americas ability 20
protect herself and TO safeguard the
rights of her citizens wherever they
may be.
The new naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia. which will be completed
this month, will also employ about
5000 men. The workers who nan
such plants are of a superior class,
and they feel a personal pride in
turning out products that will stand
the test of conflict with the arms of
other nations. A considerable part of
the building of war vessels is also
done in government yards.
The United States civil service COM
mission, which is charged with the
task of recruiting the ranks of this
great civilian army, through its wide
spread organization is furnishing the
men as they are needed. In certain
trades, particularly those connected
with shipbuilding, there is usually a
shortage. Sailsmiths, coppersmiths.
shipftters, anglesmiths, blacksmiths,
and machinists are especially needed.
Women TO operate power sewing ma
chimes are also in great demand. The
representatives of the civil service
commission at the postofices in all
cities are the official recruiting agents
for this as well as other branches of
the civil service. The commission
urges competent mechanics to offer
their services to the government at
this time of great need.
