pared risht IN the midst OF things.
And now that II has become so diff

menu follows:

the country must reduce its demands
When the new crops begin TO come IA

there Is another necessity hat the

Of sugar. So sugar In granuiated

WHY HOOVERASKS
SAVING Of SUGAR
Would Put More Sweetness
Into the Lives of U. S. Troops
and Allied Armies.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 31:-why has
Herbert G. Hoover taken so much OF
the sweetness out of the lives of the
! American people7
Answer: So that he can put more
sweetness into the lives of the Ameri-
can troops. the allied armies and the
allied peoples.
The world Is today crying for SUI
q h German sources Of supply,
which used to be self~-sustaining, are
now badly crippled.
The Cast Indies sources is cut off be-
cause of the lack of shipping.
Sugar can come only from the Unit
ed States, Cuba and Hawaiian islands.
We used to all that sugar
ourselves. In the old days we used
to cat up S.2IS.5S2,0 900 pounds per
| year.
Sugar is a necessary part of the hu-
man diet. Since the war began we
have been eating too much and the
allies too little. Italy got down 20
! pounds per person per year and
France to thirteen.
If our people will save one-thiri
of what they used to it is
hoped by the food administration TO
give England and France twenty
pounds and Italy twelve pounds per
person per annum.
And what Is perhaps more import
ant IL we save. there will be ample
sugar for the American, British,
French, Italian and Belgian armies.
The only way to get this sugar is
to save It.
/ The food administration won't GO
into every American kitchen to find
whether he is only using two pounds
OF sugar per month. but there is :.
check in another way. Sugar is allo-
Gated each month to each state ac-
cording TO population. For a state
with 5000 600 Inhabitants 100000
pounds is allowed. Every person who
dishonesty and ALPHABETICALLY uses
more than the allotted two pounds Of
sugar, robs some other person OF hia
sugar allowance inst as surely as IL
he entered the other party's pantry
and carried away the sugar howl.
The worlds sugar situation Is best
illustrated by a eomnarison of the
wholesale prices for 100 pounds for
sugar in the great cities. New York.

NENANA TRAIL
 IS BOULEVARD

Arriving from Nenana yesterday afternoon, Knute Roland, the freight CT, announces that the trail between Nenana and Fairbanks Is like a boulevard. From Nenana to the Halfway house the trail is in first class condition, due to the many teams that have been hauling SUD- plies there for the commissions use during the coming summer.
 The toughest part of the trail is between Fairbanks and Ester. This part will be in fine shape in day or two. when more travel has gone over 1t, and then there will be as good a trail as before the storm.
 Roland expects to start on the return trip to the down river town tomorrow, and states that he can, make the trip in two days with pas sengers. Should he have no passen- gers. carrying freight only, 1t will take about two and one-half days. as he will not rush his team.

COAL
 FOR BRIQUETS

That Alaska's coal resources are attracting the attention of persons in coal districts in other parts of the Union Is evidenced by the following comment from the Advertiser. of Huntington, w. Va:
 with the object of quickening the industrial development of Alaska that is expected to follow the building of the government railway there, Uncle Sam's bureau of mines has recently made a number of tests as to the quality of the mineral resources there with encouraging results.
 "A quantity of Ignite. type of low grade coal that does not stand transportation because of its ten dency to dry up and blow away. was shipped in water-tight sacks to the bureau from the Nenana field for the purpose of finding out whether it could be manufactured into bri- quettes and made available for ship. ment.
 According to report made to Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines, this Ignite was not only briquetted successfully. but it was found to contain in this form nearly double the heating and steam ing value of the original Ignite"

 All day Old Charles went hobbling about from place to place with his message of warning only to be an swered with jeers and laughter.
 Night came gently down upon the peaceful valley and Old Charles re- turned to his mountain home with shaking head and unsteady step.

"Non- sense. my brothers" one replied. "the monster will not harm us. 'Tis only an approaching thunder storm. Win our God leave his children unpro- tected after all these years?"
 The sounds in the distance arose again with the coming of day and grew louder and louder as the clouds came down over the valley. Men came in from their work in the fields. Women paused uneasily in their mornings work. while the child ren gathered near their doors with throbbing hearts and bulging eyes.
 Suddenly down the street came an excited cry. Awake. awake! The nOAbSCA COuCo: uc uT6I OI children are crossing our quiet little stream in the outskirts of the vii. lage!"
 Men rushed forth into the village streets. Crying children sought the arms of frantic mothers. The old men in the village square. unable to believe their own eyes. stood staring at tie coming hordes. God in heaven protect us." they murmured.
 The advance guard of the monsters children came marching down the village street withsbanners flying and bands playing. Men could only stand and stare.

According to news received yes. terday. in which 1t is stated that many tons of supplies are now being hauled to the Halfway house for the use of the Engineering commis. sion. 1t is indicated that early com mencement on the road construction may be looked for this spring.
 Some time previous it was ru- mored that the commission would make Fairbanks a distributing point for work on this end. hauling the supplies out along the right-of-way while the snow was on the ground so az to be available for the work ingmen and the contractors when the snow had gone. Although no preparations of that kind have been started from this end as yet. 1t is apparent that certain construction work is contemplated by the sup plies that are now being hauled on the lower end.

GOATS TO HELP
 PREVENT FIRES

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-One thousand goats will aid in the Forest service this summer in keeping down the destruction by fire in the Angeles National forest according to the act ing district forester. The animals will be turned loose in the fire breaks. These are trails 50 feet wide and 35 miles in length. It will be the duty of the goats to keep these eaten clear of undergrowth. It has cost the gov ernment about $5.O00 year to do this in the past. The herd of goats has been hired at the cost of their feed, which is nil, and $20.
