In the line with the policy of lead

ton Of materials which are required

Der Corporation has announced to

This company feels that it's custo-

and the supply of cotton conserved,
by the use of Cotton Duck only in

DANKERS' INSURANCE co.
REMAINS REAL MYSTERY

The state insurance department re-
ports that it has been unable to OBJ
tain any recent information as to the
status Of the Bankers Insurance Co.
Of Montana, against whom drouth
claims aggleCating near two million
dollars are held by North Dakota
farmers. Irregularities have develop
ed which indicate that the company
never was actually authorized to Oper-
ate in any state, although it wrote
more than $780, eco worth Of business
in North Dakota. The last report to
the state insurance commissioner
here was that the attorney general of
Montana intended to ask a receiver
for the I}ankers' company. POlicy-hold-
ers at that time were urged to settle
their claims by accepting the amount
paid in premiums to the company and
s~uTrende-ing their policies.

AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
WOULD SEE MORE LATITUDE ALLOWED
IN EXTENSION OF FEDERAL ROAD AID

Believing that the present FEEDER
al aid road act should be amended
in that the Secretary Of agriculture
could approve Of projects which might
not relate exclusively to post road
service but would provide for military
needs and Interstate commerce, the
american Automobile association at
he recent meeting of it's executive
loard in New York city, decided to
call upon the president and congress
Of the United States to- enlarge the
scope of the road act in such a man
ner as ultimately to produce a sys-
tematically maintained road system.
Commenting upon the matter, Chair
man George@C. Diehl Of the A. A. A.
good roads board thus presents the
situation:
i"War conditions have emphasized
national transportation needs to the
extent of obliterating state lines and
sectional boundaries. Hence it is
logical that the federal aid road act
IuIOuSu NIlCu e IlC lloIioHoi So'SAi
ment cooperates with the several
states, should be amended in such
manner as to give to the secretary
of agriculture the widest latitude in
approving the projects which are sub
mitted to him by the state highway
departments.
1T is true that the present roads
construction must be done at an in
creased cost, but the loss would be far
greater to the country at large If
highways work was stopped entirely,
which has been suggested in some
quarters but which | believe will be
given up, now that the great posi-
bilities Of main artery highways
are becoming apparent to every cit
izen who wants to see the wal brought
to it's earliest possible conclusion
through employing every source OF
cooperation. in our great country.
1--WE must even bring about the
maintenance of the highways in the
northern states during the inclement
winter months, which means that
snow removal has become a factor
not to be disregarded. 1t is my be-
lief that New York state will not car
ry out a definite plan in this con-
nection which can be emulated in
other states handicapped by similar
winter conditiOns.'

 When the scheme comes into op- eration it will provide the people with the means of effecting a complete rev olution in the control of the state.

They are skilled in the prac- tice of political democracy.
 Cling to Traditions.
 NO people clings more stubbornly to rooted traditions, is more jealous of any infringement on liberty, or is more opposed to any change for the mere sake of novelty; yet no people has a stronger grasp on the realities of life or is capable of going so fast or so far when the signal moment has arrived
 That moment is rapidly approach ing; the war has stirred the British people to its depths; it has evoked a new vision of constructive possibili- ties; it has revealed essential defects Tn the structure of society; it has given democracy a consciousness of power Political democracy will have no patience with any party or leader

 With us" he said, it is not a mat ter of winning the next election or any particular election. I know there is a certain expectation that Lloyd George will spring a general election on the people at the first seemingly favorable opportunity, notwithstand- ing the objections he once eloquently voiced to the principle of khaki cleo tion.' An election on stale register or even new register during the war should only be held if inevitable.
 We shall be organized, and no doubt able to place three or four hun dred candidates in the field whenever the election takes place. The country is alive. Old habits of thought are in the discard. Young and enthusi- astic candidates of education and ex- perience will enlist with us to assist our trade union and working class So- cialist parliamentarians The new Ma tional Labor party will exert a na- tional interest, and whatever may be the result of a general election. whether it come soon or late, there is little doubt that the Labor party will play very prominent part in future political events.

Henry A. Slater, the dean of res taurateurs, today leased his place of business to M. E. Holben of the Alas kan Grill, after having conducted it continuously and successfully ever since COrdOva was placed on the map as the terminal of the Copper River & Northwestern railway. Cafes, restau rants and eating houses galore have sprung up here during the past ten years, and while most of them had a brief and rather meteoric career Skaters has always been most popu lar and best patronized This was due to his strict application to business courteous treatment of patrons and ability to give the best of service at a reasonable price
 After February 1 MT. HOlben will take over this established business having secured it for three years. He will also continue to conduct the Alas kan Grill, which enjoys a good pat ronage. Skaters restaurant will con tinue under the old name, and for the present no changes are contemplated by the new lessee.
 It will be gratifying news to the friends of MT. Slater to know that he will continue to reside in Cordova where he has accumulated consider able property and valuable commer cial interests. He feels kindly towards the people of this town and wants tc live among them, for to them is due much of his success, and at the same time he feels grateful for the many social and political honors he has en joyed at their hands.

 "The new constitution leaves the Labor party solidly based upon the organized working class movement. From the trade unions which are the mainstay of the party-the bankers. in fact-neither their right of repre- sentation nor their voting power can be taken away. The party does not abandon its original basis as federa- tion of societies-trade unions, Social ist societies, women's organizations, trades councils, cooperative societies.
