WASTING SALMON.

Juneau is not the only place where they com paining that fish being wasted account O. marketing difficulties. Word comes from Puget Sound that they are having their troubles down there.
 The Seattle Post-Integencer, commenting upor the Puget Sound stuation says:
 "Tbe news that salmon is being wasted at Neah Bay for lack of market is calculated to arouse a feeling of resentment that all fre- quently seeks to find scapegoat. This is the general effect of the knowledge that food is being wasted. and especially fish, for most of of the opinion that fish in the Seattle market has been too high and that the business has not been without its profteers. Nevertheless it be ad- mitted that the fishing business is of the least amenable price fixing and that under such system is likely occur
 This is due to the fact that in the business there is one element of pure luck-the fish, once the fish taken, the business proceeds with more than the ordinary uncertainties of commerce. but to begin with the fish must be caught, and in the catching chance rules. When prices are fixed 1t is obviously necessary to the who takes the first fisk-the fsherman-that he will get price that will tempt him risk his invest ment and his time And in this it is necessary compete with the high wages prevailing shore The fishing business must be made attractive to the fisherman, and the only way to do that is to assure him good price for his catch
 Presumably the canners. the wholesalers and retailers likewise safeguarded. or they would not be in the business. All in the fish line would be we'll though expensive for the consumer, if the fish were themselves subject to the food controller But being incorrgibly independent, they permit themselves to be caught whenever and wherever they see fit. and with no regard for economic cir cumstances The result may thus easily be that

Slap at Governor.
(ValdeZ Miner.)

TVaIueZ Mlner.J
 The, recent vicious attack upon the appointment of E. J. White, the Douglas editor, publicity agent for the Territory of Alaska seems to be based more upon anxiety by the Anchorage paper to get back It the Governor than to hurt Mr. White, who is too large to be hurt by anything the papers West ward can say about him. Irrespective of Mr. Whites politics, the choice is wise one. He is one of the best known pioneers in the newspaper game in the Territory. He may not be in the class Governor Strong, which be the chief cause of complaint the Times part but those of who personally acquainted with the ex Governor should thank God for that. The quicker the Times forgets that the exGOvernOr has been removed from Alaskan politics and that his is the best interests of Alaska in general the quicker harmony will be restored in the Territory

MT. Wrongside and MT. Rightside called on friend named Mr. Inside Mir. Wrongside knocked at the door side and Mrs. Inside came outside and told Mr. Wrongside and MT. Rightside to come inside and sit by the fireside and talk to MT Inside. But Mr. Rightside told Mrs. Inside to go inside and tell Mr. Inside to come outside because MT. Wrangside was outside and did not want to go inside, but wanted to see MT. In- side on the outside. Mrs. Inside went inside and told MT. Inside to go outside because MT. Wrongside wouldn't come inside and wanted to see Mir Inside on the outside. So Mir. Inside left his fireside and went outside and saw MT. Wrongside and MT. Rightside and they walked side by side down the roadside.

A WICKITE HABIT.

We do not know who is this Devendorf, who writes Wickite boost stuff from Washington for the Dispatch and the Heron papers, but do know that he has the characteristic habit of the Wickte papers of saying what is not true Writing in y2s- terdays Dispatch, he said:

Delegate Sulzer's proposal to eliminate the income and pay subsidy for the production of gold would cause welcome revival of the gold mining in dustry in this vicinity. Valdez is surrounded by pro- ductive gold mines which forced to shut down at the opening of the account of the tremely high cost of fuel oil and supplies of all kinds If a bonus was paid for gold output 1t would place the precious metal upon a par with copper and other metals needed in war materials and would greatly the mining operators who at pres ent hopes of operating until the close of the war.

GOING OVER THE TOP.

Lancaster county's allotment of
the third Liberty loan is s1s1,600.
Lancaster county's subscriptions
up to yesterday amount to approxi-
mately 100000.
The quota is about half sub
scribed.
There are but seven more work
ing days in which to secure sub
scriptions.
Have you bought yours?
Have YOU bought ALL that you
are in position to buy?
Lancaster county must go over the
top-must not only subscribe its full
quota, but must over-subscribe it.
Speeding up is necessary. Every one
knows what the Liberty bond is.
There is no educational work to be
done, but the people must be made
to realize that unless they act quick
ly, the top will not be reached. What
would you think of the men at the
front if they were to fight a little
while and then quit? Or put up
one good fight and refuse to fight
the next time the enemy shows his
head? The war must be fought to
a finish-our part as well as the
part played by the men at the front.
There must be no let up-there must
be no falling back. Lancaster has
always gone over the top, and must
go over the top again!

PRISON CONDITIONS IN
GERMANY REPORTED BAD
State Department May RetaIiate II
Reports of Ill Treatment Are
Confirmed and Protest Fails.

Washington, April 25.-Though
without any official information to
confirm press reports of ill treatment
of American prisoners of war in Ger
many, the state department has in>
stituted an inquiry to develop facts.
II they conform to the published ac.
counts a protest will be made
promptly through the Spanish gov
ernment, which has taken oven
American diplomatic representation
at Berlin. If the protest is unavoil-
ing. measures OF retaliation will be
considered.
German prisoners of war in Amer
lea largely outnumber Americans
held in German prison camps, and
include the crews Of German raiders
and destroyers, in addition to the
crew of the German submarine
U-5S. These prisoners have been
treated with degree OF liberality
that has caused adverse criticism in
some quarters and in marked con-
trast to the treatment said to be ac-
corded prisoners In Germany.

Commissioner Roper sent an ex-
cept of the letter to young David'3
father, and DR.. David, in acknowl-
edging the letter, shows the same
fine spirit that was shown by his
son. Your sons account of nv

the best that we have had and as he
states, it was glorious, and / feel
quite sure that if he had had the
choosing of the way that he was to
go, this would have been his
choice"
That's patriotism with secrifice-
the kind that counts. The son died
fighting-fghting gloriously-and
while the father will not give him
up cheerfully, but willingly. it will
be soothing memory in the years to
come.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Newspapers have a way Of mark
ing political advertisements as such,
possibly as a safeguard against some
one who might wish to boost a GER
tain candidate without cost, and be-
cause the paper itself may not wish
to be accused of endorsing the par
ticular candidate or his policies If
there is any other reason it has es-
capped our diligence in generally TAX
ing care of ourself. The Columbia
Record, however, has adopted the
unique plan of printing above the
advertisement not only the fact that
1T is paid political advertisement,
but also the amount paid and who
paid 1T. The plan of the Record, The
News assumes, is to clarity the politi-
cal situation and do away with
anonymous endorsation of candi-
dates for public office, and it is not Il
bad idea, or would not be bad idea
III it were generally followed by all
newspapers and all candidates. But
most newspapers are satisfied to
show the public that the particular
advertisement is paid for and not
printed gratis by the paper itself on
its own order.

sion on Tuesday. They have had
successful school the past year. The
program for the evening was
speeches. dialogues, ETC., which
were well spoken and credit to the
teacher and pupils. After the ex-
ercises were over Mrs. Lola Crawford
and Mrs. PIce, of Lancaster, asked
to be allowed to present the Liberty
loan. and War Savings Stamps to the
pupils which was granted. They got
some War Savings Stamps taken by
the children amounting to 1922. The
ladies announced that they would
serve Ice cream and cake to the visi-
tors and students which was very
much enjoyed by everyone. Miss
Belts will return to her home in York
county.
The people of our community,
think, are awake to the interest OF
the Liberty loan and are doing their
part to help the government.

VladivOstOk.
(Colum bia Record.l

(COlumDla RECORD.
We can't afford to be splitting any
hairs about the Japanese. We need
their help, and we cannot AFFORD to
bubble over the niceties of the situ-
alton. Japan can favor the allies
very greatly by sending an army to
Vladivostok, the chief Russian sea-
port on the Pacific, and near neigh
Dor to Korea and Japan.
Great quantities OF war supplies
purchased by the former Russian i'm
perial government are stored in
Vladivostok. These supplies in large
part were sent from the United
States. Except in the summer
months, when the port of Archangel
was open, Russia was compelled to
rely upon the Vladivostok route for
importing war materials from this
country and Japan. The facilities of
the trans-Siberian railroad are so
limited that II was impossible to
move the materials as rapidly as
they were brought in by ship and
large amounts of them accumulated
there.
Much concern has been felt among
the allies since Russia's withdrawal
from the war lest these supplies fall
into the hands OF the Germans. The
prevention of this was one of the
principal points advanced in favor
Of sending by Japan of an expedi-
tionary force to Siberia. Early this
month Japanese and British marines
were landing in Vladivostok, but
only In small numbers, for the pro-
lection of their nationals in conse-
quence of riots. We should now
have an army of our Asiatic allies to
protect these stores. What II the
rabble of Russia does become of
Tended? The bolsheviki cannot
fight without munitions. They are
more in need Of food than munitions,
and it is too hazardous to permit
this great store at Vladivostok to
remain there unprotected.

THE HONOR ROLL.

The first honor rolf of Liberty
bond purchasers appears in this pa
per. 1t is not exactly an honor roll,
but rather a "duty roll.' 1t is just
as much our duty-we who are not
called to the front-to buy Liberty
bonds as it is the duty of those who
are cover There or on their way,
to answer their country's call for de-
tenders of the Flag. It is the part
in the winning of theS war that is
delegated to those of US who remain
at home. Many OF the men who are
In training, or already at the front
have made many acrifices-sacri-
fees much greater than we make
when we lend our money to the gov
ernment in order that they may be
properly equipped for fighting,
clothed and fed. If they are willing
to fight the Hun for defense OF
American rights and privileges, for
defense of our homes, it is the least
we can do to furnish them with the
necessaries of life and war in abund-
ance. 1t would still be the least we
could do were we to get no returns
for our money, but your very liberal
government, for the principles of
which we are now fighting, does not
ask contribution, but a loan-a
loan bearing interest, and the in
terest and principal will be paid.
Thus, the honor roll is not an
honor roll, at all, but duty roll"
