Why THE
RED CROSS?
Why Doesn't the Government Do It?

Over and over again the Red Cross
workers are asked this question by
people who wonder why the govern
ment does not put up the money and
order all supplies manufactured in
stead of having the Red Cross pro-
luce them through the work of women.
The answer to such questions is
conclusive, says William Allen White
who lists the varied activities Of the
Red Cross-making surgical and hospit-
al supplies, sweaters and other COM
fort apparel, canteens at the front
for soldiers, relief to their families
at home, rebuilding the wrecked homes
of Europe, mothering orphan children
teaching crippled soldiers new trades
and a lot of other humanitarian ex-
ertions.
II the government did all this, the
element of sympathy would be lack
ing, and this is precisely the element
that reaches the heart of mankind.
Because the war-stricken people of
Europe know that the funds of the
Red Cross are the free-will offering
of the American people, that they
represent heart-to-heart message,
the expenditure of this money is MAX
ing for future international peace.
Nothing would be more harmful to
the American people, says Henry P.
Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross
War Council, than for this opportuni-
ty to give to be denied them. He there
fore opposes any Congressional ap-
preparation to the Red Cross. Every
dollar spent should come out of the
generosity of the people. And so far
considerable more than S100,00O,0OO
has so come

One of the latest deals to be put through concerning commercial en- terprises in the interior was the purchase of the N. c. company hold ings at Hot Springs by George L.. Morrison, who is conducting q mer- cantile establishment there.
 Both the N. c. company and the Morrison establishment have been in business there for number of years, and as the business conditions of the camp at present do not warrant the maintenance of both, the deal was made whereby Morrison will have the field to himself.

TOE
 INSTRUCTIONS

Several ladies have been having trouble in finishing off the very end of the Kitchener toe, when they are knitting socks according to official Red Cross regulations. The following hints have been found helpful. and are suggested to all those who have been unable to finish the toe without leaving ridge. The true Kitchener toe, and the one toe acceptable to army authorities, has a perfectly smooth finish on the end or tip Here are the suggestions:
 In finishing the Kitchener toe, hold the instep needle TOWARDS you all the time. Keep the yarn UNDER the needle, and knit on the INSIDE of the back needle DO NOT TURN THE SOCK.

Pinkerton hauled the boat to it's present location as his gift to the good cause
 With the breakup imminent, there is surely no more timely interest than motor boat, and it is felt that the two hundred chances which will be offered will go like hot cakes. Everyone knows the possi- bilities of this boat in the matter of speed, and even if less poweriu engine were installed most ser viceable boat would be secured. Fair banksans are advised to get ready for those excursions and picnics and little hunting trips, and the best way to do it is to have a pet boat tied up in your own front yard.

ICE GOES OUT
 VERY QUIETLY;
 I. BERG LUCKY

The breakup of 1918 is thing of the past. The main spring excite ment is no more, and everyone is looking for other means to employ their time until the planting season starts.
 The official time of the breakup for the Fairbanks Cigar Store pool was 3:22:16, the judges being Mayor Suter and Dr. R. R. Myers, who held stop watch and timed, when the flag hit the bridge. The rail of the bridge was lined with spec tators. many of whom had never seen a breakup. Even the old sour doughs were there to- witness the same sight they have seen for the past twenty years. but it is ever new to them.
 Shortly before 3 o'clock the ice movement started some distance above town, but not in sufficient quantities to start the main body above the bridge. A jam which had formed gave way and the downrush of water raised the ice enough to start it. It took the foe on which the flag was placed just six and one-half minutes to drift down to the bridge, where the flag was cap- tured by Fred Douse. Shortly after the first big move large foe reach ing from shore to shore passed under the bridge and stuck in front of the docks. jamming the stream.
 Immediately after the flag struck the bridge two judges and repre- sentative of The Citizen took tally of the guesses deposited in the pool box to determine the winner. T. Berg, whose guess was 3:10, was the lucky one. H. R. Full was next with 3:43, he losing out by min utes and 28 seconds. The total amount in the box came to $235, 25 per cent of which will go to the Red Cross yarn fund.
 Considerable money changed hands on the ice run this year. Many bets were laid on the hour as well as the day, and even up to few minutes before the run came on even money was offered that the run would not take place before midnight.
 Others who made correct guesses to the date and who were within a few hours or minutes of the time were Dan Eagan, 800; R. T. Cham bers, 4:10; Jim Hunter, 3:45; E. H. Popple, 3:46.

FROM
 YUKON PEOPLE
 SENT DELEGATE

For the purpose of setting forth the claims of the residents along the Yukon river against the abolish ment of the winter mail service, the Fairbanks Commercial club is send ing to Delegate Sulzer the list of petitioners and certain facts pertain ing to the situation The communi. cation of the club is as follows:
 Fairbanks, May 10. 1918. Hon. Charles A. Sulzer,
 Delegate from Alaska,
 Washington, D. C.
 Dear MT. Sulzer:
 Enclosed is a petition signed by one hundred and twelve residents of Alaska residing at Eagle, Woodchop- per and Circle and other other points along the Eagle-Fort Yukon Mail Route protesting against the abandon ment of the winter mail route be tween Eagle and Circle, said poti-
 
 mercial Club for action.
 There seems to be considerable merit to the objections made by these residents. especially those living at points between Circle and Eagle, as they would be cut off from receiving any mail from October to June each year. The discontinuance of this route would also affect the Fair. banks people, as mail to and from Eagle and Dawson would have 10 be sent via Skagway and Cordova, oc- cupying many more days in transit
 Enclosed also is a petition from the citizens of Fort Yukon to the number of fifty-one. requesting that the old schedule of mail be kept in force. which was four hundred pounds semimonthly instead of one hundred fifty pounds semi-monthly
