Iowa Athlete Helps Training.

Clarence Harvey, the new Office Sec
rotary Of Y. M. C. A. building No. 4,
is using his passion for athletics to
help the new draft men that have
come and are coming in from camps
Funston and Dodge. These men are
from Minnesota, North Dakota, Ne
braska and Iowa. He takes much
pains, all voluntarily done, to instruct
the noncoms of all the companies in
calisthenic exercises during the time
they stay in the seth depot brigade.
Even after these officers are perma-
nently assigned they come back for
more instruction, all of which they
again give their own squads of men.
Mr.. Harvey is graduate of Simp-
son College, Ia, and has quite fame
in that state as a college football play
er.

Where Alaska Gets its Name.

The name Alaska is an English cor
ruption or perversion of Alayeksa, as
it was called by the aboriginal inhab-
itants of the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward. at
When the Russians first came to
one of the Aleutian islands they were
told that vast country lay to the
eastward and that dts name was
Alayeksa. The Alepts called their own
island Nagun Alayeksa. meaning the
land lying near Alayeksa. BY pro-
cess of Russianizing and Anglicizing
Alayekso became Alaska, and Nagun-
Alayekso became Unalaska.
The original Aleutian word Alayek-
sa meant "the great country" as the
inhabitants of scattered islands would
naturally consider a vast continental
region of varied resources and beauti-
full scenery as Alayeksa or Alaska has
since proved to be.

over the prospect Of going cold this
winter, though the necessity for econ
omizing in fuel certainly still exists
Nor is the sugar shortage anything
but a temporary state of affairs that
will adjust itself within a few weeks
There has been an ample supply Of
sugar raised on our plantations and
those of Cuba not only to meet our
own needs but to furnish our allies.
There is duty imposed upon ev-
cry business man and the consumer
as we'll to discourage all tendency
towards panic with reference to any
temporary upset in economic condi-
tions. They are an inevitable accom-
paniment of war and must be dealt
with patiently and cool-headedly. In
fact the country was in never more
prosperous condition than now-crops
are good, money is plentiful as never
before, industry and personal effort
are at the highest peak. The outlook
ought to be very bright. 1t is, if view
ed in the proper light.

Cupid Wins Again.

Miss Fern Helmick and Hugh Will
son left here Saturday morning or
the early northbound passenger. Theil
destination was supposed to be un-
known but intimate friends of this
young couple are making guess that
they were bound for Minnesota, Mr.
Wilson's parents having recently NOV
ed to a farm in that state. Cupid is
playing the leading role in the Hell
mick-Wilson case and with every mail
is expected the announcement of their
marriage.
Miss Fern is the second daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Helmick, who re-
side on Division street, and Mr.. Will
son is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
Wilson, who lived on west James
street until their removal to Minneso-
ia few months ago.

Beneficial all Around.

Ackley World: Two of the firmly
established newspapers and printing
plants of Iowa, the Webster City Free
man-Tribune and the Journal, have
merged into one, sconcern. Webster
City is town of 5000 people, good
business town, county seat of Hamil-
ton county. There is just one reason
for the consolidation and that is that
the high price Of everything entering
into the newspaper and printing bust
ness made the change necessary.
Furthermore either one of the two
plants could care for all the business
the town has to give out, at a saving
OF rental, heat, light, up-keep of plant,
operating expense, ETC., while on the
public side is that of the double drain
on merchants carrying in two papers
that will be as we'll covered by one at
one-third to half less cost Presses
that have stood idle one-half and
more of the time will be put in opera
ton, the surplus machinery and ma
terial disposed of.
In the eastern states it is common
to find but one newspaper in towns
ranging from five to eight thousand
people, and, if the western idea is
more vigorous" and demands great
or variety" the newspaper business in
the central west is gradually being
forced down to condition by high
cost of labor, stock and production to
where it should have been years ago
by common-sense business men not
content to live from hand to mouth,
driven from one extreme to another
because of the operation of two and
more plants where only one had rea-
son for life before.
The elimination Of surplus news
papers will work to the benefit of bet
ter papers, better service to public
and patrons, at reduced cost; better
from any angle that the newspaper
and printing fraternity may view it.

STRICT ECONOMY IN
FUEL IS URGENT
City Finding 1t Necessary to Conserve
Coal in Operation of Electric
Plant.

Owing to the scarcity of fuel, the
city is now conserving the use of coal
in the operation Of the electric plant
and may find it necessary to even go
further than present. Only the up
per globes i IN the electroliers are
now lighted. The change is very
apparent, as the streets are not near
ly 80 we'll Illuminated as heretofore.
If the situation gets much worse it
may be necessary to make further eff
forts to conserve the fuel supply. In
Europe all necessary lights are dis
pensed with, there being no church
services in the evening, business
houses closing when the sun goes
down, picture shows not permitted,
lights in the homes limited, etc. 1t is
not likely to come to that in Webster
City, but it may be necessary to cut
off the commercial districts earlier in
the evening than at present and in
.sist upon more economical use OF
electric lights in residences.
The government would help out i'm
mensely in the conservation of fuel by
adopting the European plan of turn
ing the clocks ahead an hour. The
people ought to write their represen-
tatives about it and induce them to
act. @

War Business.

Waterloo Courier: The country's
business is going through the progress
of readjustment to war conditions and
this has resulted in some measure of
confusion, as was to be expected in
the midst of almost revolutionary
changes in some of our basic indus
tries. However, it must be said that
the transition has gone on thus far
with remarkable tranquility, thanks
to the patriotism and far-sightedness
of our business leaders and there has
been little real ground for complaint
on either the part of the government
or the public. The railroads have met
the increased demands upon them
with remarkable efficiency and aston
ishingly little disturbance to the ordi-
nary run of transportation. The same
has been true of practically all indus
tries. Aside from temporary sugar
shortage and talk of fuel famine
which has never materialized to the
extent Of causing any industry to shut
down or a single domestic user to be
without coal as yet, there has nothing
happened to disturb the normal run
Of our lives very seriously or to forci-
bly, bring the war home to us, as it
has been brought home to the peoples
across the sea.
The only serious danger we have
confronted has been that due to a
panicky state of the public mind, for
fear of this or that foodstuff running
short, or of coal shortage, and the
food and fuel administrations, We
think, have Intentionally added to
this panicky feeling once or twice by
hasty and ill-founded statements.
There has really never been any dam
ger of fuel famine so long as our
mines are kept working and the trans
portation problem is handled efficient
ly and the government has ample pow
er in its hands now to take care of
both. So there is no cause for panic
