MRS, MYERS HAS
 WAR FORECAST

Many prophecies concerning the world war have been made and given publicity in the press in gc- cent months; some of the DroDAe- cies seem to have mateuauzcd to a certain extent and some have missed the mark entirely, so it is matter of some conjecture whether there is any means of knowing what is in store for this troubled o.o world There is in Fairbanks, how ever, in the person of Mrs. Fred Myers (Madame Renjo) one who's, impressions would be as dependable as those of other prognosucator. who have wider repute, and al her request is given the following forecast:
 They Qeferring to her yoices} tell me that there are to be lou. others of the principal nations in volyed in the war before it's close, and America is to have the hardest struggle, as the conflict will be con. centrated on the individual nations in turn. I am told that the Wal will not end until 1919. They say there has been fighting thus far but it is nothing compared to what will be before the close. They say Germany is stronger than one has any idea, but she will lose in the end"
 Mrs. Myers predicted during the first week of the war that America would be involved, and it may b. justifiable to prepare for just auch a contingency as she mentions.

 The Pioneer Women are extreme ly grateful to all who so kindl. helped them in being able to handle the ball so successfully. The Moos, lodge very kindly gave up the dat to the ladies, this being the tim, set for their annual ball The Ea gles then donated the hall free ol charge, and the Barthel Bottling Co donated the soft drinks for the rc. freshment booth.

 Dancing continued from o'clock until 3 in the morning, and all agreed that it was one of the finest dollars worth Of enjoyment ever given in Fairbanks.
 The great success of the dance is due to the untiring efforts of the charimen of the various committees in charge of the different phases c. the dance.
