CORDOyA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER IA. 1917

The others must be forced to submit. Things cannot con tinue as they are. Wealth that will not serve must be con scrlpted. The same is true of labor. Strikers, slackers and profiteers are all of the same stripe. In these troublesome times as man Is measured by his mettle and all creeds and classes must be leveled even If 1t takes cannon to accom- plish this.
 We Americans are at war for democracy. The old order of things is shaking to pieces and still we fiddle within easy sound of impending disaster. lf we would save our democ- rdcy, even though we change the superstructure, we must flrst make secure the old foun- dations. And as we build our new temple, each citizen, re- gardless of previous condition and class, must eventually take his turn in the treadmill and serve with all his might. Our only opportunity now is that of equal service in the cause of a common country and our only privilege is that of saying whether we will serve willing ly or under the lash.

VALDEZ HAS CROUCH.

Running a daily paper in a town of thirty or forty inhabi- tants IS greater strain than the imagination can conceive of. Despite the fact that every act of John Doe and Richard Roe is chronicled assiduously. the results when compiled in type are so small as to be neg ligible. Nearly every coast town in Alaska has been prac- tlcally evacuated this winter, thanks to the policy of conser- vation and the ravages of the war. If a reporter could only write up the snowbirds and the dogs, an eight column paper could be quickly filled, but alas, our prominent citizens have seen their names in print so often they are like the man who ate mush three times a day for six months-it gets rather wearisome. = Valdez Prospector.

INCREASED RATES

We are threatened with an
 increased steamship passenger and freight rate raise after the first of the year, which is not the most cheering news. Not Wlthstanding the fact that it costs more to operate ships than before the war, it is also true that the conservation pol icy of the government has tied up the resources of the country and there has been a great ex- odus of people from Alaska to the States during the past six months, This and the further fact that the steamers have good cargoes both ways has materially increased the reven- ues of the companies. Of course they are entitled to good rate or interest on their investment. but with added war taxes on fares and freight the laymon feels that he is carrying his share of the burden.

A DUTY WE OWE.

make the world safe tor dem ocracy. This declaration of our intentions implies that we have expended our blood and treasurer with the stint to save democracy from the assaults of autocracy. That we will win there is no doubt, provided we are able to save democracy from itself in the meanwhile Just now the democracies abroad are blowing off entire ly too much steam to obtain results commensurate with the energy expended. Also, it is only fair to say that our af- fairs at home do not feel any too comfortable. Boilers have h"on known to burst, even with the safety valve wide open. So far, to use the language of the streets, the autocratic enemy seems to be Hholding down the lid" in better fashion than are any of our allies.
 It goes without saying that underneath the surface the long slumbering fires of social unrest are being famed into fierce flames. The thin crust of civilized customs and es- tablished law and order alone screens humanity from a world wide conflagration. We in America are more secure agalnst an upheaveI than are any other people and even we can hear an ugly rumbling that Is growing louder all the time. 1t IS always so when the war dogs are turned loose but nev- CT was the civilized world so close to the verge of umivers- al reign of terror as right now.
 What do we see across the waters? Socialism running rampant across Europe and gaming converts by the mil hons. Once given control of governments, it is only a short step from socialism to anarchy. England is uneasy; France is fighting with her back against the wall; Italy is hard pressed; Belgium is over-run and under the heel of the conoueror; Greece is sulking in her tent; and the red furies are riding like the wind throughout the vast domains of Russia. Who knows what the morrow will bring forth?
 And 1t is into this awful un- certainty. this impending cata- cysm. that America has plung- ed. It had to be. There was no other choice. But we should no longer fool ourselves with fine phrases into the belief that ours is an altogether altruistic crusade. We are fighting for democracy, yes-our own dem ocracy-and for something more. We are fighting for our liberty and our lives, and we are all too slow to realize that everything is at stake.
 If We would survive the sweep of events, it behooves us as a nation to immediately take stock of the situation. Our duty to ourselves and the world does not lie altogether on foreign shores We can best stem the tide abroad when we have settled the growing unrest and made matters safe at home. This involves the ur- gent necessity of ruling with an iron hand in this country and all good citizens will vol

Comb Sage Tea
Into Gray Hair
Ladies! Try This! Darkens Beauti-
fully and Nobody Can Tefl-Brings
Back It's Gloss and Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
costing about 50 cents large bottle,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it SO natu-
rally, so evenly. So just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease .-Advertisemeut.

URGES WAR BREAD
FOR U. S. PEOPLE
Vrooman Suggests Miller Con-
vert in Flour Greater Per-
centage Of Milled Wheat.
TO INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY

Washington, April IA sug-
gestion that American millers might
render great public service in the
campaign to prevent war-shortage
of food by converting Unto flour a
greater percentage OF milled wheat,
was made in an authorized statement
by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, made public here to-
night.
"No step could do as much to in
crease our food supply immediately"
wrote Mr.. Vrooman, "as to put the
nation on a war bread basis"
Method in Europe.
He pointed out that while the
present milling standard in this coun-
try, converts only about 70 per cent
of the wheat berry into flour, England
has adopted an 81 per cent standard,
Italy, IS per cent; Switzerland, 80
per cent, and France, II per cent, and
all of the belligerents are making
bread from flour made from wheat,
mixed with rye, barley, corn and
potato -four.
In his statement tonight, Mr.. Vroo-
man said an IS per cent milling
standard would, in effect, increase the
wheat supply by 100000 bushels,
and 90 per cent standard would add
100000 bushels. Use of rs per
cent substitute for flour in baking, he
added, would bring the total~saving
TO l25.000000 bushels.

Tips on Wireless Telegraphy for
Uses of Amateurs and Students

was subject for international legis-
lation.
Accordingly in 1908 an interna-
tional radio telegraph conference was
held in Berlin principally for the pur-
pose of securing the transmission and
reception of messages between sta
tions, regardless of the system or
type of apparatus employed.
In 1906 second conference was
held in Berlin in which was consid-
cred the ACCESSIBILITY of international
control of radio telegraph and a con-
vention was signed by a majority of
the principal countries of the world.
In 1910 an act was approved by the
United States government requiring
radio equipment and apparatus on
certain passenger carrying vessels
and in 1911 the radio service was
organized by the Department of Com
merce and Labor to enforce the
provisions of the act. Radio in
spectors under the bureau of naviga-
ton were stationed at New York,
Baltimore and San Francisco, whose
duties were to inspect and test the
radio apparatus of foreign and Ameri-
can vessels that entered those ports.
On June 4, 1912, a third interna-
tional conference opened at London.
This conference was attended by
delegates from all of the principal
countries of the world and resulted
in the adoption by the participating
nations of an international inter-
course between the ship and shore
stations of different countries. Among
other things it was recommended that
every commercial ship and shore
station should be equipped to operate
on two wave lengths 600 to 800
meters.
The international distress call, IS.
o. 81 was specified; a standard
method of calling was adopted, and
in order to insure regularity and rap
idity in the handling of messages be-
tween stations of different nationali-
ties, set of service questions and
answers for the use of operators was
devised. A system of three letter
calls, was adopted, certain series let
tiers being assigned to each country.
Fourth-How is the aerial wire on
vessel grounded?
An aerial wire on vessel is usually
conducted below the water line and
fastened to the outside sheathing OF
the vessel or if it be an iron or steel
vessel, direct to the ship itself.
Fifth-Do the aerial wires have to
be No. IA copper wire? +.
No. The best kind of an aerial
wire is stranded No. II phosphor
bronze. Copper may be used or any
other material, but the best results
are secured from copper and phos-
phor bronze.

Mrs. Margaret Kennedy
First Baby Brought Over River

Mrs. Margaret Kennedy, one of the
pioneer women who sat on the stage
of the Auditorium on the occasion of
the fftieth statehood anniversary
celebration, was one of the first ba-
bies to have been brought across the
Missouri river. She has lived coy
tinuously in the South Side since
