LIGHT VOTE IS BEING CAST IN
 CITY ELECTION
Only Third of the Vote Had Been Cast This
 Afternoon in the
 Two Precincts.

The election being held today to choose city councilmen and a Mayor for the city is apparently passing off very quietly, but while the election itself is being quietly conducted, there is an intense under current of feeling
 At o'clock this afternoon but 2S2 votes had been cast at the City Hall from the upper precinct, while 210 had been cast at the lower precinct. While it is predicted that the vote in the upper precinct is apparently in favor of Ericsson, his vote is so badly split with Robertson's vote in that precinct that unless the remaining voters turn out in goodly numbers before the polls close, both men will be defeated.
 The lower precinct is casting a large vote, and many of them are straight Valentine votes.
 The judges and clerks at the low CT precinct are J. M. Fitzgerald, j.. J. Connors. Captain E. Harrigan, Lawrence Fee and Dave Evans. Those in the upper precinct are Cap tain J. T. Martin, J. Latimer Gray, A. D. Austin. Lang Cobb and A. w.. Rhodes.
 The polls close at o'clock to- night.

First Military Company in Alaska Is Formed
 To Recruit Men for
 Work of Defense.
TRAINING MAIN PURPOSE
Permanent Organization To Be Perfected at Meeting To Be Held
 Next Monday.

Company A. First Military Train ing Corps, was the name adopted last night by those present at the meeting to organize a military body on Gastineau channel for the pur- pose of assisting the government in the event of war.
 The meeting was well-attended and it was reported that Governor Strong was backing the scheme as far as possible and would lend every assistance, both financial and otherwise in his power. At last |.the work of perfecting the organi- zation should be left in the hands of committee of five men who were elected by those present and who shall report al the meeting next Friday night.
 Tine committee, as elected, con sists of Charles Naghel, James r. Hurley, George Vingar, H. F. Mor- ton and NJ. s. Perkins who will act as an executive committee until a permanent organization has been perfected.
 It was the opinion of those at the meeting that the object of the organization should be to raise and train as large a body of men as possible with a view to offering their services to the Government in case of a declaration of war, but that in case there should be no war. nor no need of their ser vices the organization will then dis band.
 The executive committee met i'm mediately after the adjournment of the main meeting and it was the vote of the committee, that all men with previous military ex- perience who shall enroll before next Monday night at 8 o'clock shall participate actively in the or ganization of the Training Corps. This question will be put to the meeting on Friday night for ratifi- cation. If ratified, the permanent organization will be perfected at the meeting on Monday night.
 After the formation of the per manent organization, the call for all those who wish to receive mili- tary training of any kind will be issued and they will be enrolled to take their places in any body which might be formed for service, if acceptable to the government, it be- ing expressly understood that the committee and the organization has no power to bind anyone, and on condition that any man joins the organization for the purposes of | taining, there is nothing which binds him to actually enlist as a volunteer in case of call. The executive committee will
 wait upon Governor Strong within the next few days and ascertain about requisitioning the necessary supplies and providing meeting l place for training.
 The next meeting of the Train | ing Corps will be held in one oi | he school rooms of the city hall
 m Friday night at 8 o'clock and

He saw picture Of himselfasayoung

HOW YOU CAN SAVE FOOD.

The following general plan as out
lined By Mr.. Herbert Hoover was
adopted October >. 1917. at the meet
ing of the state executive commit
tee. called By Mr.. R. F. Bicknell, food
administrator for Idaho:
Our problem is to feed our aliles
this winter by sending them as much
food as we can of the most concen-
trated nutritive value in the least ship
ping space. These foods are whea
beef. pork. dairy products and sugar
Dur solution is L eat less of these
and more of other foods of which we
have an abundance, and to waste less
of all foods.
Bread.
Serve bread or rolls made from
corn. rye. or mixed flours. Use
breakfast food and hot cakes OF corn
oatmeal. buckwheat, rice OF hominy
Under European plan, give indlVld'
ual service of bread and butter OF uni
form weight, rolls OF slices to weigi
not more than one and one-hal
ounces Serve absolutely no toast a
garniture or under meat, etc. SerV'
war bread. Do not serve bread AM
butter before the first course. Peopi
eat them without thought. Serve n
white bread on Wednesdays. Reduc
use of crackers.
Meat.
Serve no meats of any kind on Tues
days. -,
Use more chicken. fish, hare raj
bit. duck. goose. lobster, oysters, clam
sea food and egg dishes OF all kind'
Use less beef, mutton and pork. Ser'
smaller portions of these. lave lev
or of these items on the menu. II yo
must include one of the three, use mu

larly Germnn-and the ciphers are
divided into two chief classes, substitu-
ton and t%ransposition. The writer
in The Press says:
Now you will remember those per-
centages of novels and consonants.
Here is where they come in. When a
message is picked up the army ex-
pert counts the times that the vowels
recur, and If they do lot check with
the 40 per CEN for the common VOW
els, with %consonant figures tallying
within 5 per cen of the key, he knows
that he is up against a substitution
cipher. The transposition kind will
check to a gnat's heel.
When the expert knows exactly what
he is up against he is ready to apply
the figures and patiently unravel the
story. 1t may take him hours, and
maybe days, but soone or later he will
get it to a certainty.
If he has picked up a transposition
fellow he proceeds to examine it geo
metrically, placing the letters so that
they form all sorts of squares and
rectangles that come under the heads
of simple h~orizontals. simple verticals
alternate verticals, simple ~diagonals
alternate diagonals, spirals reading
clockwise. Once one gets the arrange
ment of the letters the reading is
simple.
For instance, ILVGIOIAEITSRNM
AIMING comes along the wire. II
doesn't figure for a substitution cipher
and you try the transposition plan
There are twenty-one letters in it, anc

days, and institute wheatless and
meatless or other days as far as pos
sible.
Milk.
Use it all. Economic on milk and
cream except for children. Serve
buttermilk. Serve cottage cheese
regularly in varying forms; it is es-
pecially nutritious. Use skinned
milk in cooking. A great quantity
OF it goes to waste in the country.
Use cheese generally. The children
must have whole milk, therefore. re-
duce use Of cream
Fats.
Serve as few fried dishes as posi-
Bile so as to save both butter and lard
and in any event use vegetable oils for
frying. that is. olive oil. cotton seed
oil. vegetable oil compounds. etc. They
are equally good. Serve all butter in
standard pats for guests and employ
ees. A butter pat machine promotes
economy. Trim all coarse fats from
meats before cooking and sell the
waste fats to the soap maker. thereby
Increasing supply of soap fats. as our
supplies of tropical oils for soap max
ing are much reduced. DO not waste
soap.
Sugar.
Use less candy and sweet drinks.
Use honey. maple syrup, molasses and
dark syrups with hot cakes and
waffles. in order to save butter ano
sugar. Use also all classes of fruit
preserves, jams, marmalades and jel
lies. Use brown sugar in cooking, an6
economic by the use of granulateC
sugar on the table. Do not frost o.
ice cakes unnecessarily. Use hone!
; for sweetening pastry and cakes whel
possible.
Vegetables.
Use more vegetables and potatoes
Make fruits and vegetables into salad
. and attractive dishes. Feature vese
table dinners and vegetable salads q
= all kinds. Encourage the use G
r. cheese with salads. We have a grea
surplus Of vegetables and they "a D

e so the staples most needed will b
