10000 DRY
And 10000 For Cox Tells
How Much The Drys
Think OF Willis.
AS Foreshadowed the Big Boy
From Ada Failed To Weigh
In Strong Enough.

There was some dog-goned queer
figures come out of Tuesdays election.
In the first place there is Hamilton
County for instance The republicans
rolled up majorities as high as 1900
for some Of the county candidates, yet
Cox's majority was 1900 in the same
county, and he wasn't on the republi-
can ticket either How in the devil
90 you account for such dope. Can it
be that somebody renigged? Or maybe
somebody hunched!
Then again the state goes 10000
dry and gives Cox a 10000 majority
And Cox wasn't on the dry ticket
either How in the Sam Hill are you
going to figure around such dope?
Then there is another one. While
Cox carries the state BY 10000 the
republicans are claiming the balance
Of the state ticket by from 10000 to
$1,000 Did you ever see such crazy
figures? And wouldn't it make your
hair curl to dope it out?
But with all that, doesn't it look
like it would have been easy pickin'
for the republicans with Jones at the
head Of the ticket. Not because Cox
is easy but this just seemed to be
republican year Take right in Ham
ilton County Had Willis run with
the rest Of his ticket he would have
gone over easy. The figures show
that even the drys throughout the
state wouldn't stand for Willis. And
the business men couldn't see him at
all Poor Frank, what finish-and
he wanted to be president. We've
got to give him credit for knowing
the strongest wagon to climb on, the
dry, but he was too heavy for the
wagon.

Holding that the Niles Tool Works

the Federal Court did not have juris-
diction.
Appellate Court says the interests
of the Niles-B -Bement-P Pond Company
and those of the Niles Tool Works
Company are identical in that the lat
ter corporation is a subsidiary of the
New Jersey corporation, and while the
plaintiffs suit cannot be considered
as "collusive" within the rules, still,
in making the subsidiary company a
party defendant instead of a co-plain-
tiff, it was merely a contrivance be-
tween friends for the purpose of found
ing jurisdiction which otherwise
would not exist"
The suit grew our of the strike 81

the strike was declared, the company

The war has given the Osler fable

or less year, except laborers and

were deserving of them and the crowd was forced to make several rounds of the hall after the grand march in order that the judges might be perfectly satisfied with their de- cisions.
 A delicious light punch with wafers was served throughout the evening by members of the committee. The nall was artistically decorated with flags of all nations; the Stars and Stripes being in prominence. Moose banners and emblems, as we'll as several large caribou and moose skins, some of them marvels in etch- ing, were hung in the various cor ners of the room. Colored lights also aded much to the beauty of the decorations. M. V. Tyler acted as i floor manager throughout the eve ming and under his capable super vision, no hitch occurred to mar the succession of dances, which were played until long after two o'clock in the morning.
 This is the first affair of it's kind ever held by the Loyal Order of Moose in Nenana and so great was the success, that it is hoped they will continue their social evenings. as such good times are always as sured of the fullest cooperation from the pleasure-loving people of our city.

PLACE FOR LOCAL CAPITAL

The announcement that coal land leases may now be obtained in the Nenana coal fields has big mean ing for Nenana. It means for one thing, that there is nothing now to prevent the development of our h. terior coal resources; it means that considerable tonnage will be ready for the government railroad as soon as steel has been laid to the coal fields and that steaming costs throughout the Interior country will soon be very materially reduced; it means that Nenana will be the dis tributing point for all the coal mined.
 But while that will stimulate busi- ness greatly here in Nenana, it is not enough. The opportunity has been provided for still greater things been provided for still greater things, and it is to be hoped that there is sufficient capital and enterprise among us to control large part of the output of the nearby coal mines. Local capital should be the first to invade the field, the first to reap the rich reward which is there for those who go after it.

THE LAST WORD

The farmers of America have been infomed by President Wilson that the achievements of this year, on one side or the other, must deter mines the issue of the war-that the toll, energy, devotion, self sacrifice. intelligence and foresight of our tillers of the soil will bring the war to a triumphant conclusion by mak- ing futile ''the schemes of Germany to compel her enemies to starve with her."
 We have no doubt that 1t is with in the power of our farmers to pro- vide the sinews needed to keep our soldiers and those of our allies in fighting trim. And we have no doubt that they will do their best to make the soil produce abundantly. But that, in itself, is not enough to insure success. Our farmers must have the cooperation of other class es of Americans. There must be sacrifices on the part of those who consume, as we'll as redoubled en- ergy on the part of those who pro- duce. We who do the eating at home, must conserve in order that our fighting men may be we'll fed. There can be no stinting in the trenches. Men cannot fight on empty stomachs.
 Conservation, as applied to the use of food, does not mean, however, that we must starve ourselves. It means merely that we must use those foods sparingly which are most needed in Europe-that we must change our diets to conform to unusual conditions. It is a small thing that the government has re- quested of us non-combatants- very small thing when we think of the sacrifices which are being made daily by our boys in the trenches. We should welcome thes opportunity to do our bit and adhere closely to the rules which have been promul- gated by our food administration
 The gravity of the situation can not be exaggerated. The president endeavored to make this plain, when he said this week that "every man in every business in the United States must know now that his whole future hangs in the balance-that our national life, our whole econo- mical development will come under the sinister influence of foreign control if we do not win"

SALE OF GOOD EATS
 . ON THIS AFTERNOON

The sale of good things to eat which is being held in the lobby of the Cooney hotel by the Friendly society of Grace Presbyterian church, was going full blast when the News went to press, and no idea had been formed as to the amount of good things which were sold. All the ladies of the society turned out en masse and are taking various shifts in order that a good number of the committee may be on hand all the time. Pies, cakes, bread, cookies, ham and chickens are in abundance as well as tasty salads, and all are going fast.

A REAL HELP

Alaskans will welcome the news that federal shipping board has under consideration plan to place a number of steamers. tugs and barges on the run between Seattle and Alaska, to be used for carrying supplies to the government railroad, and returning with coal for Pacific coast cities. With such g line of boats, government owned and gov ernment operated, Alaskans can hope for material relief from the excessive freightage charges which they are now compelled to pay to privately owned steamship com panies. With 'ch a line of boats, the government -ailroad will have a great deal more freight to haul, for it will be possible then for Nor therners to import needed machinery

and supplies for the development of new districts and the working of old ones.
 It is an open secret that the high rates of the steamship companies are doing more to retard the de- velopment of Alaska than any other one thing. The service never has been good, passengers have not been safe and the movement of passengers and freight both ways has always represented an outward flow of dollars from Alaska. Development has been retarded, the settlement of the territory greatly delayed. Under present conditions, the move ment of freight is limited to actual necessities and the northern move ment of settlers, homebuilders and workers restricted to a degree de- cidedly hurtful to the territory.
 But for the relief provided by the government, it would have been inn possible for the farmers of the Mat anuska valley to make shipments of their products to the Outside mar kets during the past summer. The unfortunate part of it was, the gov ernment had only one boat available and there was cargo space for priv ate shippers only on the south-bound trips. It was plainly shown, how ever, that freight and passengers can be carried by the government at reasonable rate, and with more boats available it will be possible for Uncle Sam to do the territory vast amount of good. We must have government owned and govern ment operated steamships event. ually to connect with our govern ment railroad. Why not get them now, while the government is en- gagged in the shipbuilding business on large scale?

MOOSE MASQUERADE
 SCORES A BIG HIT

The first annual masquerade ball held by the Loyal Order of Moose last Saturady evening, at Labor Union hall twas an event that will go down in the annals of Nenana's social history and long remembered by the dancers here.
 From the first rollicking one-step to the Home Sweet Home waltz, the big crowd was full of pep and the masquers who crowded the big floor, Kept the judges guessing, so many elaborate costumes being in evi- dence, that it was almost impossible to determine who should carry off the prizes. Gay Pierrots and South Sea islanders, Harlequins and Span ish maidens mingled with bold In- dian chiefs; coy country belles and harem girls from the East. Even Miss Europe, much wrecked, but still in the ring, was in eveidence last Saturday evening.
 The Grand March, led by Director Carlton D. Ross and Mrs. R. G. Southworth, was one of the pretriest ever held in Nenana, the dancers go- ing through the entire march to the tune of martial music, while the contestants for prizes acted out the part or character they represented. Following the march the masquers were lined up in front of the judges stand, comprising Mrs. Vim. Taylor and Dr. M. E. Smith, and the awards were announced. The prize for the best dressed lady went to Mrs. Theo- dore Brakke, who was beautifully attired in a harem costume of crim- son and gold. Mrs. Jameson was awarded the we'll merited prize for the best sustained character, being dressed to represent storm-tossed Europe; Mrs. Jameson's unique cos tune and ability to act the part of a girl from the battle-scarred con tinent was well desrving of the de- cision of the judges. Mrs Waechter, as country belle, won the prize as the most comical lady character, and ably demonstrated her ability as makeup artist. The gentle mems prizes were awarded to Al Carney, as best sustained character and to E. R. Welliver, as most comi- cal gentleman. Al Carney repre- sented an old sourdough in full re- galia from mucklucks to mitts. Ear! Welliver was probably the most com ical on the floor his makeup as an old outhern darky with the "rheu- matiz" combined with his inimitable qualities as an imitator caused much amusement among the spectators. The judges were for a long time in quandary as to whom the prizes should be awarded to as so many

THE WORKERS WILL RULE

The war will create a new heaver and new earth The new heaven, peopled by those shot out of life in its very fullness will be very real; a country just "Over There" to those who have suffered bereavement through the war
 The new earth, according to Lord Northcliffe, the official jolter of Great Britain, will be taken over and placed under the command of those warriors who escape death and come back from the trenches with the great fact of brotherhood burn ing like altar fires in hearts and minds.
 Before large group of American editors Lord Northcliffe recently declared:
 ''It will be hell for those who did not go to war when those forty million who did, come back. They will be different men when they come back. Out there they are bound together in bonds of com mon fellowship. They have got the idea that they have not had their share of the worlds goods When they come back, they're going to demand their fair share, and some how imagine they're going to get it. Already they have formed their organizations in France and in Eng land. They have we'll defined pro- gram of what they will do when they return. And they even have chosen the leaders they shall have when they come back. Already they've seized all the wholesale and retail stores in our country. You people didn't even know those facts. That brings us around to another question, often asked. Are these men, living for years in the intense excitement of war activity, going
  back, when they return, to the same humdrum occupations they followed before the war? I think not. Oc- equations which men followed be- fore the war and thought they were manly, will be considered effemi- nate. They are thinking about state of mind, a state of life, phy- sical condition which will give to the multitude of mankind the good things our competitive system de- nies them. Believe me, when these come home, they are going to rule. We've heard much discus sion of the question whether or not large fortunes are good for coun- tries. I happen to have a large for tune, but don't believe large for tuns are good for countries. And we're taking a practical means in our country to see that they don't grow any more. We have an 80 per cent war tax"
