TO GAS CONSUMERS:

Owing to the greatly Increased cost
81 all raw materials entering into the
manufacture and distribution Of gas
at Nartlnsburg as web as the in
creased cost ,of labor and repairs.
the Gas Company has found it noe
essary to make application TO the
Public Service Commission OF West
Va. for an Increase in its rates charg-
ed for gas, the increase asked Tor
amounting to approximately 16 2-3@e.
The Gas Company regrets very
1.uch that Il IS compelled to have an
ircrease in rates, but TO give Just a
rough idea or the increased cost OF
5team coal hard coal and gas oil,
nearly everyone knows how much the
price OF steam cSal or soft coal has
increased 1000 or more; hard coal,
tine broken size which we use for
Generator Fuel has increased approx
imately 500; while Gas Oil has in
creased nearly 5000 over the normal
price. We are paying more for la
Dor than was ever paid before and
the cost of friedrich and all repairs
used at the Gas Works and on the
distribution syatem have increased
from so to 1907
1t is the desire OF the Gas Company
10 always give the best service pos
sible to its Consumers and in order
to continue successful operation, It
Is necessary to have the increase APP
piled for.
1t is our belief and hope that this
increase will be temporary only, and
We pledge ourselves at this time to
ask the Public Service Commission
for reduction in rates. just as soon
as price conditions warrant
We desire to thank all OF our Con
sumers for their patronage during the
past and hope that we may continue

MORE SIGN TO
 JOIN SERVICE

Quite number more of the Fair banks young men signed the list to take physical examination to see whether they might go Outside to enlist. yesterday, and last evening saw fourteen names on the roll. Many others are preparing to go, but have to get their business af- fairs in shape before they can leave, and will sign on later.
 An unauthenticated report from Me- mana yesterday reported forty men signed up there, and it is probable that there is large report, many of the commission men being said to be anxious to get into the war game.
 The list of those signed up in Fairbanks so far is:
 Leith J. Russell, Charles E. Lewis. c. L. Packard, c. M. Lauridsen, Jo- seph Doran, Howard Logan, R. Y. St. George, John P. Ryan, Jack S.. Altman, John Smith, c. Edward Gooch, Robert E. Murphy, John R. Montgomery, Jayson D. Buzby.

FOOD REPORTS
 ARE COMING IN

Reports from conservation head quarters here show that the weekly food reports from all over the city are coming in fairly well, and quite a large number have been handed in so far. Those reports which have come in show that some of the peo- pie, at any rate, are conserving to a remarkable extent. Many families have only a few meals with meat every week, living to great extent on fish and game, and on vegetables they have raised themselves.
 There are few who have not handed in their food pledges yet, and they are urged to do so at once. Report will be made at the local defense board meeting this evening of those who have not signed their cards, and investigation into the req sons for not signing may follow.

Thursday morning witnessed the start of three thousand-mile jour- ney. to be made by two we'll known Nenanaites, the culmination of which will be enlistment in Uncle Sam's great army.
 The boys who are making this trip are Larry Vernon and Joe La ferriere. both residents of Alaska for the past five years, and well known in Fairbanks and vicinity. MT. Vernon has been employed in the engineering department of the A. B. commission for the past two years and has always been promi- nently identified with all of Nenana's social and patriotic affairs. He will proceed direct to San Diego and make an attempt to enter the avia- tion corps there. Failing this. MT. Vernon will immediately enlist in the navy.
 Joe Laferriere. the we'll known A. B. commission electrician. plans to enlist either in Seattle or San Fran cisco. in some branch of the ser vice where his electrical experience will be of beneAt to his country.

Iof burnt canvas that had been beau tiful pictures. broken glass of wonder full color that had been the famous painted windows.
 Such was Ypres after the first bombardment. Whole streets had been destroyed. yet there were still houses where people could live; there was still broken skeleton of what had been town.
 For six months Ypres was left in comparative peace; shells still fell in. the town at irregular intervals, but it was possible for people to live there and to open shops for the troops that passed through to the battleline.
 The second bombardment began without warning on April 20. 1915. The first shen fell in the Great Place" when it was filled with people. It is impossible today to get any ac- curate estimate of the loss of life caused by that first shell. but those who saw it still blanch and tremble with the mere memory of it. It was a heavier shell than any that had been used in the first bombardment, coming from one of the giant siege guns. It could be heard for ten sec onds in the air. the noise of 1t grow ing as 1t came, like the sound of an express train. When it fell the thick smoke of its explosion rose 200 feet high.
 The full storm of the bombardment burst forty-eight hours later, accon panied by the first waves of poisoned gas used against the French and British lines. Day and night for a long period the great shells poured into the town in steady stream, while above streets and squares and fields hung sinister cloud. gas and smoke and dust.
 When this bombardment ceased, 1t was hardly possible to find ones way through the town. Houses and streets had all melted together in heaps of rubbish. The one or two walls which still stood only served to .m. .,haslze tho drso'ation, few frag- ncnis of the ci:u .h wall G' tower. witt, poia .r ;"Grro, he rem lins of a belfry, scared fragment of the facade of tn Cloth all
 F.om these ruins one could locate where the more important buildings of the city had stood and could esti- mate the completeness of the ruin. So Ypres remained for two more years. The Germans completed their destruction during the past spring and summer, removing the last rec ognizable vestiges of anything by turning heavy armor-piercing shells against the pathetic ruins. By the end of July there was literally noth- ing left except dust and broken stones. That is all that now remains of the famous town of Ypres.

Knead well; let dough stand until nearly doubled in bulk, work 1t down; form in loaves, and set to rise again. When the loaves have doubled in size bake them in a moderate oven 50 minutes.

THE CITY OF YPRES TOTALLY
 DESTROYED AFTER THE SECOND
 COMMANDMENT BY THE GERMANS

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, Dec. 31.-There is literally nothing left of the once lordly city of Ypres except heaps of dust and broken stones. Although still within the range of German artillery, the city may be visited in comparative safety as it is too far behind the lines to offer a certain target for con- tinuous bombardment.
 Ypres is 600 years old and carried with it before the war, the impress of an honorable past. In the middle ages when the Flemish merchants were the great traders of Europe. the city was fabulously wealthy, be- ing for many years the center of the wool trade. After it's prosperity passed, it would have become obscure but for the Cathedral and Cloth Hall, where the wool merchants once had met. These two monuments were re. markable examples of the architec- ture of their time, and for a hundred years had made Ypres known and visited by the world
 It remained for the German to turn to ashes what had been a place of beauty for 800 years. The first bom- bardment of Ypres came on Nov. 1, 1914. The town was then full of wounded soldiers and peasant refu- gees from the surrounding country. They were crowded principally in the Cathedral and the Church of St. Nicholas, in the vain belief that these sanctuaries at least would be spared by the invader.
 The battle on the hills around Ypres enden seventeen days later. The Germans failed to break through the British line, but the bombardment of the town, instead of waning, grew more intense. The Germans, foiled in their attempt to capture Ypres. determined to destroy it. For a long period, heavy shells fell into the town at the rate of fifteen a minute. The sound of the continuous destruc- tion could be heard fifty miles away.
 The inhabitants of the town mostly fled soon after the bombardmcnt started. When it was over, they re. turned to find the beauty of their town well nigh gone. The famous Cloth Hall still stood, but it was a roofless skeleton; only it's cellars were intact. The Great Square in front of it was hoapcd with broken stones and charred wood, and nearby lay the broken-bells, the famous bells of Ypres, which for 600 years had roundod every hour across the level 1elds of Belgium.
 As for the Cathedral, one could stand inside and look up at roof which was like a sieve, while the in terior was filled with stones, frag- ments of marble statues from the tombs, charred wood that had once been the wonderful carved roof, rags
