Part of the hogs were shipped to

KILLED in FRANCE
J.. H.. FERRY, FORMERLY OF
GRANT COUNTY. DIES IN
BATTLE.

Milbank. May 22-The war i'm
Europe was brought home TO several
residents of South Dakota when in
formation was received of the death
in battle in France of j.. T.. Ferry, a
former resident of Grant county.
He was a nephew OF William Trap.
a well known resident of Milbank.
Ferry left South Dakota about four
years ago for the British northwest.
and was holding down a homestead
i'm that region, About a year ago he
enlisted in a Canadian infantry regi-
ment. Last fall he was wounded In
the head, but recovered and returned
TO the fighting line.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID. LaBay, of Ar
lington, have been advised by the
war office at ottawa, Can, that their
son, Arthur LaBay. who went with
Canadian troops to France last fall,
has been missing since April 9.
The last letter from him was re
ceived by his mother a little more
than two weeks ago. and was written
in the trenches in France. The par
ents and other relatives are quite
hopeful that he was taken prisoner
by the Germans instead of being
killed, as he was not identified
among the British and French dead.

WOMEN DOING MEMS WORK.

One of the most striking results of
the great wal in Europe. is the ex-
tent to which women are doing the
work of men. Travellers to England
and France report that practically
every able bodied man is in uniform
and by the thousands are en-
gagged in doing mems work-acting
as conductors and drivers on the
cars and doing all sorts of heavy
work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called
the weaker sex. Women are subject
to ailments which men do not have,
and when so ailing become weak,
helpless sufferers. But a remedy has
been found. For forty years, Lydia
f.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has been making such women we'll
and strong and as able to do work
rs any other woman.

at q press reception on the recent

definitely its desire for the conclu-
sion of a speedy peace. but, in speak
ing Of peace without annexation or
indemnities the government declares
it is not a question Of passive defense.
Free Russia will not consent to

doned owing to the criminal negi-
gence of the old regime.

enterprise of those who do business within it's borders for rendering fur ther and inestimable service at this critical time in the countrys history, and 1 am confident that it will re. spond to the call of duty and oppor- tunity
 It is probable that there will be difficulty in materially increasing the yield of some of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast on account of the de- mand for small vessels for military purposes. Alasla's duty arises from the fact that it is absolutely neces- sary to increase the total yield of the fisheries and her opportunity lies in her possession of vast unutilized fishery resources. The salmon fish cries in many places are being prose- cuted as intensively as is permissa- ble with due consideration to the danger of everlasting and the main tenance of the future supply, and moreover are so well organized that they will undoubtedly be conducted vigorously during the coming season, but there are other fishes in abund- ance which are not used as they should be.
 The most important of these is the herring. which is widely dis tributed and in quality is equal to that of the Atlantic The demand for this fish, pickldd, is growing rap idly. The sablefish (black cod) for which the Bureau of Fisheries is establishing large market, fresh, frozen and kppered, is one of the finest of American food fishes and exceedingly abundant in Southeast ern Alaska and contigous waters. The atkafish, frequently called "Atka mackereP and "Attu mackerel," is regarded by many as superior to the true mackerel when pickeled in the same manner.
 All of these fishes lend themselves to preservation by salting and in view of the dearth of tin plate, which may interfere with any large increase in the pack of canned fish, can not too strongly urge that large quantities of all of them be cured during the coming season. There is no doubt that the demand for them will be heavy next winter and the Bureau of Fisheries will take steps to make the public ac- quainted with their merits. The Blu reau's agents in Alaska will lend fishermen and salteries all possible assistance, and information concern ing methods of curing will be furn- ished to those desiring it.

Department of Commerce, Office of the Secretary, Washington, April 20.-To the Editor of the Alaska Daily Empire, Juneau, Alaska-Dear Sir-In his recent letter to the American people the President has eloquently and clearly presented the duty and privilege of ever ycitizen to rally to the support of the coun- try in the emergency now confront ing it. He laid particular stress on the opportunities afforded those, who for various reasons may not be able to join the fighting forces, to render other service no less necessary and laudable, especially in increasing the supply of foodstuffs of which under the stress of war there is a liklihood of a dearth. It is necessary that the present sources of food supply should be maintained and new sourc- es created and developed in order to provide we'll fed men for the conduct of actual military operations The success of the unselfish undertak- ing in which the country has em- parked is dependent on each one of us performing his full patriotic duty in the field in which he can be used most effectively
