What Happens

When You Spend Your
Money?
When you spend money; you
pay for somebody's services
and you pay for the material
that is used to make the ar
ticle you buy. If you buy
things with your money that
you actually need, food, cloth
ing, or other necessities, you
are spending your money in
the right way. But if you buy
things you do not need YOU
are taking goods and services
from our fighting forces.

URGES SPUR
REPRODUCTION TO
AVERT BIG FAMINE

Worldwide food famine unless
drastic steps to increase production
are taken Immediately was predicted
ey Congressman John NJ Baer today.
THE United States and our allies
face famine" was his fat statement
before the House Agricultural Com
mittee. Food stands and will stand
supreme among the requirements OF
the belligerents," he said. Unless
food is supplied-and in great guam
tities-the very existence OF whole
nations is threatened
The world can be saved from fam
inc only by the United States. Baer
said. He cited figures to show that
wheat crops in all the allied nations
are short, that almost all the winter
wheat fields OF Russia are in posses
sion of the Germans and that the
crops OF India, Australia and Argen-
tina cannot be got out because OF
lack Of tonnage.
Time L. Short.
THE time in which anything can
be done to stimulate production OF
wheat is very short" he went on.
The winter wheat crop Is in the
ground. and in poor condition. The
Agricultural Department estimated
the yield would be $4,000, 900 BUSH
els. That is too high an estimate.
but II we accept it we still must have
a minimum yield of 46O,O00,OOO BUSH
els in spring wheat to make up the
billion bushels the world demands of
US.
THE average yield Of spring wheat
is 100000 bushels-only a little
more than half OF what we shall need.
We cannot raise a billion bushels but
we should come as near that figure as
we can"
Scarcity Of Seed.
Throughout the West there are
many farmers, Baer said, who be-
cause of two successive poor crops.
have land available for spring wheat.
but no seed, no money with which to
purchase il, and no security on which
TO borrow. He urged that the United
States follow the example OF France
and Italy and purchase seed for these
farmers to be paid for by them when
the crops are raised.
Bler read a communication from
David Lubin, American member OF
the International Institute of Agri-
culture, in which he said: "Our allies
are depending on the United States.
Without its help they would reach a
condition similar to that in Germany
and Austria, in which there is merely
food enough for the armies with the
civil population dying on"

When You Lend YouI
Money to the Govern

You should buy only the
things you cannot do without.
The money you usually spend
for things you do not need
should be saved. Then lend

The Government can use that
money to get the goods and

food, clothing, and ammuni-
ton they must have in order
to win the war.

SURVEY REPORT ISSUED

The annual report of the super iutendent, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, arrived at the AL askan office in the last mail.
 An extra effort has been made TO obtain and incorporate into this volume the Knowledge gained from the experiences of the best naYigat- CTS on the Pacific Coast of the United States and Alaska, and they furnish to the stranger the com bined experiences of these men, who have obtained at first hand a knowledge of the difficulties of navigation, and methods and pre- cautions which render navigation safe in spite of difficulties.
 The report covers 227 pages, con- glete with maps and pictures of the work done on the coasts of the United states and it's pos sessions.

product is fully up to standard in food quality and taste.
 says the Citizens.
 "In our opinion, news that wheat can be successfully grown in the Fairbanks district will do more than anything else to banish from the minds of the outsider the impress sion that interior Alaska is covered with eternal icebergs, and that bear skins are the accepted form of dress here. In the years to come agricultural products may vie with gold and other minerals as leaders of the wealth producers of the ter ritory."
 There are 64,OOO,OO0 acres in AL aska chased a agricultural or pas toral land, and approximately 1O,- OOO,O acres are susceptible to in tensive cultivation. largely valley lands possessing a good soil but requiring much labor to clear and prepare for cultivation.
 Large crops are produced in Flu ropo on lands much farther north than the Alaska agricultural lands. There seems no reason to doubt tha the confidence of AlaSkans in the farm possibilities of the future is well Charlottesville P.-I.

FOOD WINS THE WAR
 : DON'T WASTE IT.
GERMANS WILL WEAR OUT
 FIRST

The Germans know that Napoleon was right when he said that morale is three-fowths of the essence of success in war.
 That is the reason Hun gold is poured into France, England, Italy and the United states to stir up sgitators against the war and to spread a feeling Of disQuiet.
 In France former high govern ment officials are charged with accepting German money, said to have been laYished by the millions. The purpose was to make the French believe the war is futile, and to induce Q war weariness that will lead to seQarat peace.
 h the Allied nations German agents have furnished funds to anarchists so they may cause as much trouble as possible. Ger tain publications have been given strong support.
 The kaiser recently sand the war might be won iu the last half hour. He is right.
 But he will never win it if the Allies maintain their strength oI purpose, fight 10 the end and to- gether, and keep from becoming dis eouraged and dissatisfied.
 The thing to do is to allow the German to become troubled into distraction first. The German has most to make him weary and yeN- ed. Let things take their course, and German morale will be the first to Yanish.-Tacoma News.

ALASKA FLOUR

It has taken some time to realize by actual experiment, that AL ssks agriculture Is likely to prove a profitable vocation in the great northern territory. but evidence IS accommodating that practically every crop produced in the north tenn perats zone may be produced on Al aska's rich valley lands. Pioneers have been producing bountiful crops Of potatoes for some years, and the Alaska rutabaga has been successfully cultivated. Root crops having proven a success, the eXperl- mentors diYerged into small gram production and harvested some amazing crops of oats and barley h recent years the federal agricul- tural station at Fairbanks has been developing a native seed wheat, and results obtained last 1all indicate tfAt bountiful wheat crops may be produced in the north.
 A public-spirited citizen at Fair hanks has installed a small flour mJJ and Is now manufacturing Al eska flour out of Alaska wheat pro duced In the Tanana valley. Within recent days the first baking of bread was made from this flour, and the Alaska Citizen relates that the

One lnninr, Six Hits. No Runs

Che Inning, Six Hits, No Runs.
 Can six hits be made in a half in niuG without the side making the hits scoring a run?
 This question was put to the Chicago News, whose expert says Yes" and explains:
 The first man up triples and Is thrown out at the plate. The second man triples and is also nailed at the home pan. The third, fourth ard fifth batsmen single, filling the sacks. The sixth man drives the bail between sec, ond and third. and the leather hits the runner coming from second. The man hit is cut, retiring the side. and the man who hit him gets base rap. This makes six consecutive safe rapS without one run being scored.

A steady ache in the small of my back caused me Q great deal of suffering My kidneys act ed too often and that broke up my rest at night.
