 People of wealth frequently remiss They hate to bother with payments. Often the thing that delays them is the bother of sitting down and writing a check It to them unimportant that they often forget it.
 Most grocers who extend credits freely, carry their books a large of bills receivable. It be- ing publicly known that they extend credit they are compelled to give it to almost everyone Some of these debts are non-colecble To carry the whole lot the grocer must either borrow money and pay interest or his capital is lying idle which IS the thing.
 Of course it is very embarrassing when one Of the grocers friends comes in and asks credit, or some poor man says he has nothing to eat in the house. It is of perfectly natural for people to ask credit when they know that everyone else gets it. It some bother to be able to pay once a month, but it is system that makes our living cost higher The who pays his bills has to pay for the who doesn't. This Chicago pup fisher may get a large following on his proposition to charge for extension of credit

COULDN'T BELIEVE THE PAPERS
George F. Burba)

George F. Burba)
 He wanted it understood right in the beglnnhg that he didn't believe what he read in the papers. Some one had made statement and said ne go' his information from the papers Whereupon the "isc one delivered himself of the above sentlments-that you couldn't believe the papers,
 Then the wise began telling about the war and went into details concerning a certain campaign He mentioned generals involved, and told Of the activities of certain military organizations. He ever told of the personal eccentricities of some Of the people involved, and seemed to be as familiar with the facts if he had been part of the thing he describing.
 But the truth was. he got all of his facts from the newspapers. He had never met any of the men he discussed, he had been in the region he described, he had way of knowing anything about it in any way save by reading the papers He even told about Carranzas whiskers and about kerensky having tuberculosis and about the way Haig parted his hair-all newspaper stuff pure and simple
 The fellow who says he doesn't believe the news papers is foolish. If he correct, if he didn't believe the papers, he wouldn't know there is war being waged by than half the world. He hasn't seen it. He wouldn't know there is Panama formation He wouldn't know that Woodrow Wilson President of the United States, that there is a German Empire. Eliminate from any man the in formation which he had obtained from the newspa pers and he is a gibberng idiot without ideas or without knowledge. Denounce the papers all you pease-they don't care-but don't brand yourself as a fool by saying that you do not believe what you read

We who not the firing line must help with the fight. We not-we ought not-to expect these soldiers to do it all We ought to know that they not do their best unless we with them to the last dollar possess We have got to lay aside politics; have got to stop crticising; we must get into the game with both hands and with whole hearts.

WHERE THE ALLIED LOANS GO

More people than you would believe are under the impression that the money which Uncle Sam is lending to the Allies leaves America expenditure in Europe and other foreign countries.
 This is mistaken idea.
 Virtually all of it is expended right here at home for American produced goods, munitions and foodstuffs
 Since the declaration of against Germany on April G. 1917, Congress has authorized the lending of $7,000,000,000 to the Allies be paid before April 1, 1918. Up to November the Allies had received advances aggregating $3,691, 100000 They had ex- pended in America for supplies $2,75S, ,9OOOOO and had remaining to their credit in the United States Treasury balance of $9325OOOOO
 From April to November the Allies had been borrowing from Uncle Sam at the rate of approxi- mately $5OoO0OOOO month
 And they had been spending it with us almost rapidly they got it.
 So the money which you put into Liberty Bonds in the two preceding campaigns has been trickling back through the channels of commerce in an unin terrupted stream. What the Allies spending is being scattered by Uncle Sam, who is confronted with the task of supplying and carrying army of nearly 200OO0O men.
 And so it will continue long the war lasts The man afield must be supplied with munitions clothing and food Every line of American endeavor will profit The larger the bond sales the greater the growth of the Allied Armies and their require ments; the more tremendous the expenditures.
 Every dollar you put into Liberty Bonds is an added stimulus American industry and American prosperity

THEY HEARD AND HEEDED THE CALL
Anchorage Times)


 This morning seventeen young men, all of whom well known to the community, needed the call of the country and left Anchorage to join the colors to give their service and lives if necessary in defense of the Stars and Stripes and the institutions scented by "Od Glory"
 Anchorage is proud of these men who grasped the first chance offered them to do their duty. They will take service at a financial loss to themselves, but like true Americans when the time came that their country needed them, they answered to man.
 This is the largest number of men to leave An chorage at time in answer to the needs of their country It has brought home to the people here the of the and the fact that its effects henceforth will be felt keenely in all parts oi the world
 Anchorage will have boys the ba. tlefelds of Europe, and it is probable that ia miiar names will appear in the casualty lists. Under the it is certain that this city hereafter will take greater interest in the different movements for the comfort and safety of the soldiers the front and bend every effort that everybody remaining at home does his part toward the salvation of the country.
 The people of Anchorage proud of every who has left join the colors and has faith in their courage and ability to reflect glory upon the munity from which they

NO DRAFT IN ALASKA
Columbus Dispatch)

Alaska is forcing her attention this country, whether like it or not. She gets her in the American papers quite frequently these days, be- of her resources, and she comes along claiming attention upon another ground, namely, that she is not going to have draft.
 Not because she would oppose anything of the kind; it is that It is because the of Alaska anxious to get into the they have already volunteered. Alaska has filled her quota and more and it will not be necessary to conscrpt any of her citizens.
 Alaska asked for 600 for the army It believed she ought to furnish that number. But the fact s she stepped to the front with more than 600 and stands ready to send whatever additional she may be called upon to send without having to draft them
 The demand for labor in Alaska is not holding the in the country. The country has the same lack of labor that is noted in other paces but she isn't asking exemptions that ground for her sons She seems to recognize the fact that the first big job is to win the through fighting the enemy in the field, and she is proceeding along that line

DEMAND FOR LABOR
Steward Gateway)

There will be great demand for labor in this section of Alaska this season. greater perhaps than ever before. Hundreds of from Kenai Penin sula and from Anchorage, to the Interior have been called have left to enlist in the war service Their places must be filled on the railroad, in the stores and in the mines. Men will be needed for the con struction work on the railroad the connecting of with steel; these men being required for all depart ments. Wages are good Besides the railroad work there will probably be fair amount of building and the canneries nearby will also require much labor Mining properties will be developed and these also need extra men.
