MEATLESS DAYS
 ARE SUSPENDED
 FOR ONE MONTH

To those who have been Hoover. izing" on the meat question comes the news that they need not ob serve the restrictions during this month. Close restrictions will be ob- served in the use of flour and wheat, concerning which Luther c. Hess has the following to say:
 "The following announcement was made in a telegram received last night from Royal A. Gunnison. fed eral food administrator for Alaska:
 "'All restrictions upon the use of meat are suspended for thirty days from April 1st. Neither meatless days nor meatless meals need be ob- served during this period.'
 "On the other hand the public is urged to redouble their efforts in the saving of wheat. Everyone should use more and more of the substitutes for wheat flour in their baking, and should refuse to buy anything but Victory Bread"- bread that contains at least 20 per cent of substitutes.
 Under the new rules RYE FLOUR is no longer considered a substitute for wheat four"

ARE SH0VELINC'
 ON COAST ROAD

The condition of the trail from Fairbanks to the coast is such that shovels have been resorted to in order to open it up for traffic. From Yost's to Miller's and from Miller's to Rapids a large force of men have been engaged in trying to clear the trail by shoveling 1t out. Owing to a high wind, their efforts avail them nothing. the wind blowing the snow back in the cuts as fast as it is taken out, and the men were forced to desist.
 In the Big Delta country the over- flow is very deep, and it is impos- sible to get out of the river made by the overflow from the big lakes that has broken in the upper part of that country. The stage man. agement hopes to have all stages moving within the next day or two. or shortly after the overflow sub- sides.

DOESN'T KNIT;;
 JUST CROCHETS

While Fairbanks and Ester boast of having men in the ranks of the knitters, the palm belongs to Fair banks when 1t comes to having men who are handy enough to handle a crochet needle and thread.
 The honor in this respect goes to Frank Herlander. otherwise known as the Bear Kid" who has so far crocheted two lace caps and is now we'll toward completion on the third It was a matter of conjecture what he did with the results of his handi- work, and inquiry developed that he is sending them to the nurses at the front. or, rather, to those at the hospital at Neuilly. France. Frank bears his honors modestly and is reticent as to his accomplishment.

GEORGE PARKS
 IS NO LONGER
 LAND OFFICIAL

On this mornings stage as a pas. senger will be George A. Parks, who is going to the Outside to engage in another field of endeavor. Mir. Parks service with the general land office terminated at the end of last month.
 For several years he has been con- nected with the service in the ca. pacity of mineral surveyor. travelling entirely over Alaska in the dis. charge of his duties. During his resi- dence in Fairbanks he made many staunch friends, who hold him in high estimation.
 From Fairbanks he will proceed to Camp Lee, Virginia, and enter ser vice in the officers reserve corps. He received his appointment as a first lieutenant on January 28, this year. and will serve for a term of five years. On his arrival at his destination he will be assigned to his detail.
 Locally he will be missed to a large degree. being quite prominent in athletic circles and a steady mem. Der of the baseball team. AS a mark of the esteem in which he Is held by his fellow workers in the land office, he was presented with a mug get stick pin to keep as a souvenir of Alaska. His numerous friends wish him Godspeed and good luck in his new field of endeavor.

PACKED HOUSE FOR RENDITION
 OF CANTATA

If a crowded house, hearty ap- plause and much enthusiasm are any criterion. Mary of Bethany" and the various numbers given last even- ing at the Auditorium for the bene- fit of the Y. M. c. A. war fund was a very great success.
 Every number on the program showed hard and painstaking work on behalf of both director and par ticipants, and everything went through without a hitch.
 The cantata, Mary of Bethany" which took up the first part of the program. was we'll rendered both by soloists and chorus. and the music rendered doubly effective by artistic gowning on the part of the soloists and remarkably fine stage set ting the back drop depicting a view of Jerusalem. The painting of the curtain, the, setting of Mary's home. etc., was the work of MT. Fred Rhind.
 An unusually pretty number was the pantomime Lead, Kindly Light" The solo was beautifully rendered by the talented young soprano, Miss Ruth Lamb, while six young ladies in flowing white robes gestured ap- propriately during the singing of the verses of the we'll known and loved old hymn.
 The hoop drill was very prettily rendered by fourteen little girls, all attired in dainty white gowns, hose and slippers. They went through many pretty motions without one perceptible error.
 The patriotic tableaux were splen- did, and evoked great nethusiasm. They were all so good 1t would be hard to pick out an especial one.
 The program was brought to a close by the singing of Hats Off to the Flag" by a male quartet.
 Space prevents special mention of all those taking part. but great praise is due Mrs. o. F. Krieger. to whose untiring efforts the cantata. pantomime and hoop drill were so we'll rendered. The patriotic pie lures were staged by Mrs. Rae Car ter, and reflect great credit on her.
 It is estimated that after deduct ing all expenses, the splendid sum of $350 will go forward to help in the magnificent Y. M. c. A. work.

 BE MADE HEAVY
,assoc,ated Fress,


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April D. The senate judiciary committee to. day adopted an amendment offered by Senator Poindexter, of Washing. ton, to a new espionage bill which imposes drastic penalties for disloyal acts or utterances during the present war. The amendment was adopted by a unanimous vote of the commit tee and will probably go through both houses without struggle.
 The amendment prescribes twenty years imprisonment or $10,00O fine or both, for "Whoever shall by word or act support or favor the cause of the German empire or its allies, or who, by word or act, oppose the cause of the United States during the present war" The amendment is believed to meet situation which has been calling for remedy for some time and is supported by members of both parties.

SLOW PROGRESS
 BY MAIL STAGE

The Thelin stage which left here yesterday morning for Nenana had only succeeded in making as far as Ester yesterday afternoon. It was Thelin's intention to make the Ohio road house, but the deep snow made further progress impossible.
 The lower end of the trail is now being cleared out with snow blow from Nenana as far as Lombard's, and if possible it will be continued further on. The trail is in poor con- dition by the upland route, and it is not expected that it will be in good condition before two or three trips have been made over it. Thelin is using double enders. as no progress can be made with the usual bobs.

 MUST BE MADE
 OUT PROPERLY

Considerable trouble and delay Is
 being experienced by the local board
 in properly classifying some of the questionnaires that have been re.
 ceived from some of the outlying
 districts.
 The indications are that those
 making them are ignorant of the importance of having these papers
 made out properly or else are delib-
 erately making botch of them.
 Many of them have been received by the board without a single ques- tion being answered; in other cases
 only few of the questions are an
 swered. Some are not even sworn to.
 All these inconveniences cause con-
 siderable delay on the part of the
 board in the proper classification of the registrants, many papers having to be returned to the registrants for the proper execution. If those who are returning their papers in the
 above stated condition are doing so
 maliciously they are only laying up trouble for themselves. as it is obli-
 gatory upon them to answer all ques- tions on the questionnaire: they
 must be properly filled out. The filling out of 1uestionnaire
 does not involve any expense to the registrant. All legal advice is fur
 nished gratis, likewise the oath that | is to be taken when the papers are filled out will be administered by
 any authorized person without any
 charge. Should there be no notary
 or other person in the immediate vicinity where the registrant resides.
 any postmaster can administer the proper oath and otherwise assist in
 making out the papers.
 It must be borne in mind by the registrant that no dilatory tactics will be countenanced by the local
 board. and any offender will be sum-
 marily dealt with.
