FRATERNITIES

Like most Alaskan towns skag- way is well represented in Frater- nal organizations having Rt pres ent five live orders that meet regu- larly and one which Is connected with the Supreme lodge. The first order to organize was the Arctic Brotherhood and by reason of that fact Skagway is the birthplace of this order. While 1t was started on board the City of Seattle, 1t was in Skagway that the idea was mold ed in:o concrete shape and regu- lar fraternal society formed. Camp Skagway No. l, is known Rs the Mother Camp" and from this camp there have been instituted thirty two camps, extending from Stewart on Portland Canal, B. C.. around through Northern British Columbia, Yukon and up to Council Teller and Nome, and to the west ward and interior, with camps Rt every town large enough to support one. The membership of the Arc tic Brotherhood is confined to that portion of Alaska, British Colum- bia and Yukon that lies north of the fifty second paralell north lati- tude. In former years the meet ings of the Grand Camp were held in cities on Puget Sound and in southern British Columbia but for several years they have been held in the uorthland exclustVly.

RED GROSS
By Mrs. ". c. Blanchard, Chair
 man. ..,.

The skagway Chapter-Branch of the American Red Cross was organ ized June II, 1917. After sever al meetings were held, the organiza- tion was in working order to particA pate in the big drive" which took place during Red Cross Week" in June, at which time the sum of $9O5 was raised,
 The total receipts to date are $1614.33. Of this amount, $SO5.G2 was sent to Washington, D. C., in June, as Skagway's contribution to the War Fund. Since that time the further sum of $122.5O, being the proportion due to Headquarters ou account of membership fees, has also been forwarded, making a to- al of $92S.12 sent to Washington.
 The initial drive in June and the Christmas Membership Drive just ended have resulted in to- ,al membership of 49O, which, con- sidering the population of Skgwaay, is a very creditbale showing.
 Mrs C. NJ. Wilkes, of Chicago, qualified instructor, organized classes in surgical dressings during the past summer. Mrs. Wilkes, who was touring Alaska, gave all her time to Instructing classes while ill Skagway. These classes meet Mon day and Thursday afternoons and Tuesday evenings. The knitting class, with Mrs. J. w. Shearer IS instructor, meets Tuesday after uooLs. Splendid work has been done both in the knitting and sur gicar dressing classes. Shipments of comfort bags, surgical dressings and knit goods to the value Of $3S6 have been sent to the Red Cross Supply Service, Seattle, Washington. There is 8 small sup ply oF knit goods and surgical dress Gngs also about $16O worth of ma terial, still on hand.
 It has been said that the Skag- way Chapter-Brapch occupies the most comfortable and up-to-date quarters in Alaska. Ceratinly it is true that the commodious, well lighted and steam heated room in the hank building, donated by An drew Stevenson, president of the Bank of Alaska, leaves nothing to be desired. This room is used both as Red Cros Headquarters and work room. It Is adequately equip ped with furnishings donated by L.. A. Harrison, Phil Abrahams, and Al bert Reinert. The lighting service IS donated by the Home Power Com pauy.
 The officers Of the Skagway Chapter-Branch, are as follows:
 Mrs. w. c. Blanchard, chairman. Mrs. E.. J. shaw, Wce-chairman. Miss Evangeline Cook, secretary MT. W. L. Landsborough, treasur- CT. Mr. Howard Ashley, chairman Finance Committee. Mrs. Helen D.

APPEALS
TO FARMERS OF
UNITED STATES
If War Lasts Beyond This Summer
1t VIII BE American Farmers Who
Win or Lose 1t, He Declares.

Milford, Pike Co, Pa, April 20, l91i-
Editor East Oregonian:
In this great time, when every cit
i7en must do his part, the president
has made his chief appeal TO the men
who live on the land. He is right in
doing So for the safety of our coun-
try just now is in the hands of our
farmers. What | mean is not merely
our safety and the safety of our allies
in the matter of food. I mean that
the safety of the United States against
foreign invasion hangs on the decision
of the farmers OF the forty-eight
states
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the war against star
walton will be won or lost in America.
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food But Ia
is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England 20
starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the. firsS
item in the kaiser's terms OF peace
will be the English fleet. With the
English fleet in his possession. the
kaiser will be master of the world.
What will happen TO us then? Every
man who stops to think knows the an
swer. We shall have money. food.
Ia bor. land-everything that is desir-
able in the world except the power
to protect what we have. Experts es-
innate that 1t will take up nine
months to get ready to meet a Ger
man army of even $50, ,OOO men. with
modern artillery. Under such cir
cumstances. would the Germans treat
us petter than they have already
treated Belgium and France
Even if the armies of our allies
should crush the German military
mower this summer before the short
age of food can reach the point ct
want the world would still need vast
quantities OF American food. But IL
they do not. only one course can make
us safe, and that is to grow iood
enough on our farms for ourselves
and our allies. and TO put ships
enough on the sea 10 carry the food,
in spite of the submarines. to the men
who are fighting our fight
If the war lasts beyond this summer
il will be the American farmer who
will win or lose the war who will
overcome militarism and autocracy. or
allow them to spread and control the
world ourselves included.
This is no fanciful picture. but sob
er fact Many a man will make light
OF il until he comes to think It over.
