PERCENTAGE OF
 TOL0VANA HIGH


 With the returns of the regis trants of the Tolovana district at hand, the officials of the local board are more than pleased with the showing made from that district. More than 75 per cent of those sub ject to the draft from there are qualified to serve.
 The registrants received yesterday from the Tolovana show that there are 32 eligible for military service. Of that number 25 will be avail able for general service, 1 for limited service and rejections. Of the 25 of them are subject to the first draft. With the showing made Tolo- vana may well be proud of the physical condition of her boys. There yet remain many registration returns to be heard from.

RECISTRANT IS
 FINALLY FOUND

For some time past the local board has been in communication with Lo- cal Board No. at Seattle. as to the whereabouts of one Roy Gotnay, who was registered here. Messages were also sent from Fairbanks to the address given by Gotnay and to the Russian consul at Seattle. Both wires were returned with the state ment that the man could not be found. Yesterday the local board was advised that Gotnay had been located and had passed the eXami- nation.
 Gotnay was for some time in Fair banks and frequently appeared be- fore the public in Russian dances. It is probable that he will be called in the first draft.

Study these five food groups. Ev cry food you eat may be put into one of these groups. Each group serves special purpose in nourish ing your body. You should choose some food from each group daily.
 l. Vegetables and fruits.
 2. Milk, eggs. fish, meat, cheese beans, peas, peanuts.
 3. Cereals-Corn meal, oatmeal rice, bread, etc.
 I. Sugar, syrups. jelly, honey, etc
 5. Fats-Butter, margarine, cotton seed oil, olive oil. drippings. suet.
 You can exchange one food for another in the same group. Fol example, oatmeal may be used in stead of wheat, and eggs, or some times beans, instead of meat; but oatmeal can not be used instead of milk. Use both oatmeal and milk
 You need some food from each group every day-don't skip any.
 Here are the reasons why you need the five groups:
 Fruits and vegetables furnish some of the material from which the body is made and keep it's many parts working smoothly. They helI prevent constipation which gives you headaches and makes you stupid The kinds you choose depend upon the season, but remember that the cheaper ones are often as valuable as the more expensive.
 Milk. eggs. fish, meat, peas, beans these help build up the growing body and renew used-up parts. That is their main business. Dried peas and beans make good dishes to use in place of meat part of the time but don't leave out the other foods entirely. Milk is the most important Buy at least pint day for every member of your family. No other food can take it's place for children Save on meat if you must, but don't skimp on milk.
 Cereals-Bread and breakfast food These foods act as fuel to let you do your work, much as the gasoline burning in an automobile engine makes the car go. This you can think of as their chief business And they are usually your cheapest fuel. Besides. they give your body some building material.
 Don't think that wheat bread is the only kind of cereal food. The government asks us to save wheat to send abroad to our soldiers and

WINTER WOOD
 WASDELVERED

The late floods. while they may have done considerable damage. also did some good in the way of sup plying good sized wood pile for those who are willing to do little work to acquire it. The ice breaker at the upper side of the bridge on the Garden Island end had good sized pile of drift wood thrown up on it. Yesterday two men were busily engaged in sorting the best of the wood in piles for winter use, and as the result of their labor are about two cords better off than before the flood.
 Each high water immense quanti- ties of wood are brought down the stream and lodged at convenient places, and to the one who observes a supply of wood may be easily obtained.

AIRPLANE RAID
 OF COLOGNE IS
 A HUGE SUCCESS

WASHINGTON, D. C., June A. The allied air raid over the city of Cologne was a great success. ac- cording to information that has been received here. At least 146 persons were killed and 150 wounded by the bursting bombs dropped by the avi. ators.
 Dispatches received state that the people were thrown into an absolute panic. Upon the allied aviators starting their attack on the city. the people commenced running hel- ter skelter. not knowing which way to turn in order to evade the death dealing bombs.
 These people have had no expert ence with any raid of any extent, and as a result were utterly dunn. founded when confronted with the problem of escaping death from the airmen. All the planes which took part in the raid returned safely to the allied lines after dropping sev- eral hundred bombs in the city.
 A. Brevig of Little EldOrado re- turned home yesterday.

NO MORE CLARE
 ON BROADWAY FOR SOME TIME

NEW YORK, June An order put into effect today by the police of this city forbids the use of any display lights at night until further notice. This will mean that no electrical signs are to be used by any firm and only those lights that are absolutely necessary to the con- duct of business houses are allowed.
 As a result of the order there is no more Great White Way" and New York will now be dusky place after dark. There have been no objections raised by the business firms to this order, as it was known to have been placed in effect as protection against any air raids that may be attempted by the ene- my. Owing to the recent submarine activity off the Atlantic coast, it is thought entirely possible that the Germans may attempt to make a Zeppelin raid over the metropolis.
 Charles Updkei, J. Hoffman, Frank Stande, N Beatty and Charles Ger main are among the out-of-town visitors registered at the hotels.

FIFTH WHEEL A
 USEFUL THING

It was observed yesterday that a large green automobile had attached to the rear a large, broad cylinder, which rambled along in a careless way, smoothing out the roadway be. hind 1t very nicely.
 It is presumed that the fifth wheel was attached for the purpose of making the road passable in case the car stalled at one of the mud holes. It made quite an appear ance. both auto and wheel, resemb- ling steam roller in one of the large cities Outside.

NEW LAUNCH IS
 GIVEN TRYOUT

To test the engine and otherwise give general overhauling, the launch recently constructed for the use of the general land office force here was given a run up the river recently. It is stated that every thing moved along nicely, not hitch being noticed, and the boat answered the helm well.
 The launch has been christened Alaska by the office fOrre anu will soon be taken out on the annual cruise by H. K. Carlyle, of the gen. eral land office, who is going to cover his district. The past meth ods have been to either make the trip by steamer or small boat, which involved considerable expense and loss of time.

RETURNS FROM
 CREEK TOWNS
 GOOD SHOWING

With the drive for the Red Cross fund well over. the returns from the outlying places are beginning to come in, and the committee having charge of the drive is well satisfied with the showing made. From all the creek places the showing was good the chairman of each place doing all that was possible to make good showing. The following are the amounts reported with the name of the chairman for each place:
 Little Eldorado. w. T. Burns. 301 OO Chatanika, Mrs. $. Weiss -. 318.50 Fairbanks Creek, Dan Eagan 77.5O Cleary, Mrs. Walter Skof .. 7.50 Ester, Mrs. Ed Tyndall .... S7.OO OlneS, Mrs. Frank McGarvey 110.l3 Fox, Mrs. J. r. Schoeser -. 122.O0
 There are yet several places to hear from, and it is thought that when the final returns are in the fund quota allotted to the Fairbanks district will have been greatly over subscribed.
 The total amount reported in the hands of the committee to date is $5,3S0.6S. This amount with the yarn fund brings the amount to $11,77l.08 This amount alone eX- ceeds the 4uota by nearly s4,OOO. and it is thought that the quota will have been doubled at the finish.

MANUFACTURE
 OF SILK HAS
 JUMPED APACE

WASHINGTON. May 15.-The United States has become the silk manufacturing center of the world as result of the war, which has stimulated the manufacture of silk here and in the Far East at the expense of Europe.
 A study of the silk industry, the first official inquiry of the kind has just been completed by the tariff commission.
 Japan continues to lead the world in the production of silk. while the United States. first among the na tions in its manufacture. does not produce single pound of the mater ial. France continues the chief European manufacturer of silk and the principal source of American i'm ports, Japan ranking second.
 The annual requirements of the American silk industry are 20,OO0 tons of silk and silk waste. 10000 tons of cotton and other yarns, and 1000 tons of metallic tin for weight ing. Most striking of all the develop ments due to the war has been the expansion of the spun-silk industry The government is requiring vast amounts of coarse silk cloth, made from silk noil, for making powder bags for the big guns
 Many finer varieties of silk manu factured are not made in this coun try or else are manufactured in very small quantities. Switzerland supplies practically all of the silk boltine cloth needed by the flour millers of the world. Hatter's plush, from which is made mems silk hats, comes from France. Silk lace. silk netting silk embroideries, veils and veilings ribbons and handkerchief material largely are imported. In all other branches of the industry, even fine wearing apparel and velvets, the i'm ports are relatively small compared to the total consumption.
 Habutai, of which silk handker chiefs are made, a soft smooth plain woven fabric of pure silk. is the largest single item of silk brought from abroad. It has been Japanese speciality for more than 1000 years
 Artificial horse hair is made ol silk in coarse single filaments. Ar tificial silk is made in fine filaments which must be combined before use Some silk filament is so fine that it measures 3.0O0.000 yards. or about 1,700 miles, to the pound.

NEWSY ITEMS
 FROM NENANA

Mrs. M. s. Love, who has been acting as postmistress here for many months past, left yesterday for Fair banks for the purpose of bidding goodbye to her many friends there preparatory to going Outside. No appointment has been made for her successor. The only applicant for the position is Commissioner R. s. Mcdonald. There is some doubt as to his being allowed to hold the po- sitions of commissioner and post master at the same time, and he has wired and asked for a decision on the matter. Nothing being heard as to the proposition, she will leave the office in care of an assistant pending the arrival of the decision.
 Robert Burns returned yesterday from his coal mine out the line, which he is attempting to develop in order to fill contracts to the rail road. He claims to have a 25-foot ledge and has a 110.f0ot tunnel driven on it. He proposes to con. tinue the tunnel for 200 feet more.

FOR LIBERTY.

Lord Rhondda, British food controller,
IN. an interview, has expressed the greatest
delight at the establishment in the United
States by Herbert Hoover, national food
administrator here, Of wheatless and meat
less days. The controller described the
food shortage in Great Britain as most
serious, but not such as would be detri-
mental to the health of the population with
proper management of supplies and viii
lngness on the part of the people to accept
equally nourishing substitutes for some of
the foods they have been accustomed to.
He referred to the difficulty of discussing
the subject frankly without giving
enlargement to the exaggerated hopes in
Germany that England was suffering very
severely from lack of food.
'sWith the help of the United States we
shall pull through" he declared. Il would
feel very respondent over the position il
the United States had not come into the
war but I have unbounded faith in your
ability and good will to help us work out
the problem. Our situation would have
been a happy one but for the shortage of
crops in Italy and France 1t is now test
Of endurance between England and Ger
many We are today where Germany was
two years ago. [ have no fear of failure
on the fighting line. But the supply of
bacon, hams and lard is SO short that the
shipments now in sight are scarcely likely
to be enough to fill the army's require
ments. Civilians will probably have to so

Over across the seas. then, they are in
need, real need. of food-food for the

They must haze meat. they must have
bread. t.ey must have all they need, if they
are to do efIiCieHs serticc for their country.

of meat, maybe, once in a while, and pat
ourselves OH the back for our patriotism,
while from across the sea the voice of free
dom cries to lis for liberty, that she may

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION.

Financial aid for persons, firms, COR
porations and associations, whose opera
tons are necessary or contributory to the
successful prosecution of the war, but who
have been receiving "step-child" treat
ment, is provided for in bill which William
g. 'McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, has
submitted to congress for consideration and
passage.
The bill provides for the creation of a
war finance corporation" with a capital
stock OF five hundred million, and would
provide funds for needy corporations and
others who have been unable to obtain
financial aid on reasonable. or practical.
terms for the general public. or through
the regular banking channels.
The bill would place in Mr.. McAdoo's
hands virtual control of the money market
of the country. In general, it prohibits the
sale, except under license granted BY the
War Finance Corporation, of stocks. bonds.
certificates of Indebtedness, or other obi
cations of persons. firms or corporations
or associations, the par or face value of
which exceed one hundred thousand dol
lars. The purpose is to prevent the ex-
penditure of money for capitaizing indus
tries or projects which are not essential to
the conduct OF the war.
