Will the business men of Seward take the advce glV- en yesterday by George Forrest at the special luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce?
 Will Seward awaken and seize an opportunity that has arisen stand together in this and bring to the city part of one of the greatest industries of Alaska?
 Cant the Chamber of Commerce or the City Council take some action and reach out and make this port fish ing center?
 Mr. Forrest gave good advice yesterday; told what was needed told how to go after it and get itand all this from actual experience for Juneau confronted with the same proposition, acted and received.
 Robert J. Weir, representing the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission will help the city, help secure desirable locations for floats for the fishing boats.
 The merchants will put in suitable stocks stocks re- uuired by the fishermen, All that is required is ac- ton and that immediately
 Seward is nearer to the fishing banks around Mon tague Island than is Valdez but the latter city making inducements and always has secured the bulk of the fish cImens business Steamers sail from Seward just of ten as they do from Valdez In fact everything is more favorable to Seward for fishing than any other place within hundred miles.
 There are plenty of men in Seward with money who will finance any feasible proposition Itis not question ofoney, it is simply question of push at the right mo- ment which is right now.

DEPARTMENT OF WAR HAS WOMB N
 POLICE FORCE

WASHINGTON, April 3. - The War Department has established q woman police fore.
 With more than a million and Q half men already in khaki, and mil lions more awaiting the call to inc colors, the Department has turned to the so-called weaker sex fn assistance in disposing of a vital wartime prob lem.
 Thousands of young women have cone to the vicinity of the military camps. To see that these girls arc protected iron dangers, the Depart nocnt's Commission ,n Training Camp Activities has appointed fifty-fve wo- men deputy sheriTfs to do scouting and patrol work. In all parts of the cour try the women are on duty under inc supervision of especially established Girls Protective Bureaus.
 Girls actually resident in the vicin- ity of the camps are protected. R,na- ways are restored to their parents, and amusement places are scrutinized carefulyy. hTe work offers an oppor- tunity for the officer to exercise dis cretion, sympathy, and q knowledge of human nature that particularly ar her own.
 These women are trained sociologi- cal workers and 50 peculiarly equip ped for efficient service. Their duHes are intensely personal. in character and arc concerned chiefly with indiv- iu'.alS. Although, cooper ting, closely with the military authorities and local Iolice, they wear no uniform, badgc or distinguishing mark of any kind.
 Often" says Miss Maude Miner chairman of the Committee on Pro, tective Work for Girls, ."the women protective officers find girls in the vi
 inity of the camps who are attracted by the presor"e of the uniform. Some of these are girls who have answered advertisements and who arrive 1T camp cities with insufficient finds others are runaways from their homes in nearby cities and country towns. A girl resident of the town, who is dis posed to resent discipline, is taken tc her home by the woman officer and hel mother warned of her danger. The officers also visit nearby amusement places to discover young girls whC seem to need protection and to sec that local ordinances are obeyed."

 OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

FL PASO, Texas, April 4. - Colon ,el Harry O. Willard, United States cavalry stationed here, has started a movement among his friends in the service to buy war stamps. Every time Colonel Willard attends a moving picture theatre or takes a party of friends to the theatre he buys war stamps equal in value to the amount lie spends for the entertainment of himself and his friends. The move ment has caught on" and several other officers have adopted the pa tr'iotic plan.

WILL PREVENT SECRETS FROM
 BEING KNOWN

WASHlNL HUN ApIil "' ii'' War Dcl artment gives no indicator of yielding Tn its determination to withhold the home addresses of sol diers killed or wounded, or who die Of other causes in France.
 Easing it's position on the objections the French government made to Gcn- eral PerShing against the American method of issuing casualty lists, the department intends to meet objections in Congress and from the public with the answer that the old system be 'traysValuable military information to the energy, and the fact that the near est relatives of the soldiers are off cialy informed hours hcfo e they could get the information from the newspapers.
 The committee of public infoma- t. on npintans it's stand that 'h" names of soldiers, without home ad- dress Co identify them to neighbors md friends, or prevent confusion with ether men of similar name, are so de- void of news value, that it will not SSue the lists. Therefore the lists will continue to be issued once day from the office of adjutant Genei al Mccain.
 Pointing out that the French pub fish no casualty list at all, but merely notify the relatives, War Departm mt officials give as their explanation of the new move, that the enemy by scanninc the complete casualty lists as they have previously been issled is enabled to piece out fair iGea of the identity of the t"ooi confronting him.
 Although under the new plan, rela- tives will be notified and officials ex pect, publication of names of troops will find their way into local pap trs, it is felt that the publications will be widely scattered and that the task o' assembling the names from all the newspapers of the country and conSoI- idating them into military information would be such tremendous task, tat from the aspects of a spy system it is practically impossible.
 In the smaller cities and towns it is assumed the mere mention of a soldiers name will lead to ready iden- tifcation and publication without a great effort, but in the great cities this is accounted wei nigh impossible unless relatives themselves notify the newspapers as they receive telegrams from the War Department.
 In promising to quickly send official notifications to relatives, however, the War Department is careful to warn the public that it must not identify men by their names alone, because there are many similalities of names in the army. Unless mans relatives have received an oificia, tele- gram concerning him, the department says they must assume that some other man of the same name is re- ferred to.
 Until some other arrangements, if any are made the War Department plans to issue the casualty list once each day, and persons finding names they recognize will have to conmuai- cate with relatives of the man listed to learn if it is some one else of the same name.

ECLIPSE Of THE sun
VISIBLE LOCALLY AFTERNOON
OF SATURDAY, JUNE 8.

One of the biggest shows of the
year is due Saturday, June 8. 1t is
absolutely free, and the hour being
between and 7 p. M, it is not going
to interfere with many peoples work.
At that time, the moon will pass be-
tween the earth and the sun, and it's
shadow will fall upon the earth, caus-
ing what is generally called on
eclipse The observation will not be
complete here, but it will be just as
interesting as if the sun were appar-
emily blotted out Across a narrow
path through the United States dag
onally from the state OF Washington
TO Florida, the eclipse will be COM
plete. In the scientific world, the
eclipse arouses great interest and
much money will be spent in trans
porting instruments and scientists to
points most favorable for studying the
phenomenon, The non-scientific folk
will not pax a cent and will get con-
siderable of interest out of the spec
tacle Observing the eclipse through
piece of smoked glass is just as
interesting as. when you view the
phenomenon through a million-dollar
telescope. Perhaps more so to those
of us who are not familiar with the
great instruments.
In former ages, and in almost all
countries, people attached great i'm
portance to such phenomena. Like
the comet the eclipse was believed
TO be forerunner, prophet of all
manner of calamities and disaster. II
is easy to believe, that a people that
knew nothing of the rudiments of
astronomy should be duly alarmed,
when the great Tuner light seemed
about TO be blotted out. Even we of
the tewntieth century generally plead
guilty to bit of uncanny feeling when
the suns light begins to grow dim
and the shadow creeps over and APP
parently is deyouring the sun. And
there are few indeed, who do not
realize what a world-catastrophe it
would be II the great light were
blotted out forever.

|. W. W. AND NON-PARTISAN
Scheme to Hamper the Governments
War Plans is Exposed in Trial
at Chicago.

Chicago, May STANDARDIZATION
with the non-partisan league in North
Dakota was proposed by the officers
of the agricultural branch of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, ac-
cording to evidence introduced by the
government in the trial of 112 |. w. W.
leaders for conspiracy 10 hamper the
governments war plans. The combina-
ton advocated by Forest Edward, sec
rotary of agricultural branch, located
at Minneapolis, Mimi, and other Off
GERS was intended to give "the /. w.
w. complete control in the harvest
fields of North Dakota"
Under the proposed arrangement
the non-partisan league members were
to hire only members of the |. w. w.
After conference between repre-
sentatives of the two organizations an
nouncement was made that the plans
had not materialiZed.
The files taken from the Minneapo-
lis headquarters by the government
and read into the records today, con-
tanned letters, reports and bulletins
showing opposition to the war encour-
aging violence against industries nee
essary to prosecution of the war.
In answering criticism of the |. w.
W., opposition to the war against Ger
many, Edwards wrote:
1.-THE class war is the war were in.
terested in. We don't care for side IS
sued
Letters of Grover Perry, an organ
izer in the southwest, made reference
to the fight with members of the
American Federation of Labor, particu
larly in Arizona.
One letter in this file advised fell
low organizer that when an applicant
for l. w. w. membership presents a
w. F. of NJ. (Western Federation OF
Miners) card this should be accepted
as the membership fee"
Joseph Burdall former |. w. W., tes-
tilted on cross examination that while
working in the !harvest fields he could
tell by the sun when machinery would
break down.

ers," he said. "Then they'd get a
chance to take nap"

TALK ON POTATOES
DEMONSTRATION ON COOKING
THE VEGETABLES.

By eating potatoes instead of wheat,
the people of Mahasaa county can help
win the war as well as by purchasing
Liberty Bonds, and contributing to the
Red Cross.
There is large surplus of potatoes
this spring and if they are not used
before July LIST they will spoil and so
be wasted. That must not occur as il
will have bad psychological effect
upon the country and will mean a de-
creased acreage the coming season.
If this extra 30,000,000 bushels can be
consumed it will mean direct saw
ing of wheat and other foods which
can be. shipped. The eating of pota-
toes because of their food value and
the fact that they are very satisfying
to the appetite makes less likely the
use of wheat. Each potato you eat
will save slice of bread. How much
did you save last week? WIN you save
more this week, and more next week?
Eat potatoes, save the wheat,
Drive the Kaiser to defeat
The following demonstrations for
next week have been arranged:
Tuesday, May %, Prairie Twp, $3.50
a. M at TaintOr.
Tuesday, May g. Richland Twp,
2:3O p. m. at Peoria
Wednesday, May 30, Lincoln Twp,
200 p. m. at Peoria.
Friday, May 81, Des Moines Twp.
$3.50 a. IN. at Givin.
Friday May 81, Des Moines Twp,
t2:30 p. m. at Lakonta.
Other demonstrations will be ar
ranged in the other townships for the
following week so as to spread the
Gospel of the Potato"

IS OVER THE GRADE
SOUTH SKUNK RIVER IS UP AND
is GOING HIGHER.

South Skunk river is ont of bank
north of Oskaloosa and the chances
are it will be over the grade before
nightfall. At noon today it lacked less
than three inches of going over the
grade north of the Water Works
pumping station.
Heavy rains along the upper water
shed of the stream yesterday and
last night will send more water
through the drainage way and this
will pass through Mahaska county to-
day and tonight.
M. S. Downey, member of the board
had talk with Newton and Colfax
this morning and received word that
We might look for considerable water
from that section.
The river north of Oskaloosa has
been coming up steadily since Sunday
and has raised fifteen inches in thirty
six hours. .
Flood conditions in North River are
subsiding and damage may not be
as great as reported.
Des Moines river is not feeling the
effect of the heavy down pour and is
coming up steadily but is not near
flood conditions.

BIC CONVENT IONS.
INTEREST IN TOWNSHIP SUNDAY
SCHOOL WORK GROWS.

While il may be true that in the
stress and hurry of these days people
seem to be losing interest in some
things or in some organizations, there
is one thing certain, that is that they
are not losing their interest in Sun
day schools or Sunday school conven-
tions, if the attendance and enthusi-
asm at the conventions this spring in
Mahaska county is any criterion to
go by. AT the conventions of Cedar
township, held at Fremont, and of
Garfield township, held at Beacon on
May 5, the room would scarcely hold
all al some of the sessions. AT the
Spring Creek convention held at
Bloomfield church on May II, the
room was packed full, and at the Des
Moines township convention held at
Edwards Chapel clear down on the
south county line, and at the Scott
Black Oak convention held at Olivet
on May 10, life conditions prevailed.
On May &c the Harrison township
convention was held at Fairview
church and again full house. At
all of these conventions programs of
high order have been offered, inter
est and enthusiasm were high, and
the county officers accorded a most
cordial welcome. Much interest is
taken in the adding to the number
of stars to the record of each school,
and sincere regret when a blue oe
overa previous red one indicates a
loss of ground
Certain it iS that Sunday school may
De judged and known by the interest
its officers and other workers take in
conventions, and the gathering to-
gether for conference of Sunday
school workers. Progressive work
ers in any line are always anxious to
meet with anpd confer with other
workers in that particular line. Har-
rison township is no exception to the
rule, and their program was well
worth going a long way to hear.
The talks as held in the afternoon
by the county officers were sane, sem
sible and helpful Mr. Ira Lyle's pa
per on the graded lessons was fine.
MI. Kilmer's remarks on Training
Teachers were right to the point and
capable of being followed out. Rev.
Waters talk on the workers confer
ence, and his exhibit of the cup just
won for the second time by his school
was inspiring, and the talk by Rev.
Felt on Community Betterment show
ed how the religion of Jesus Christ
works out concretely to the better
ment of a community. Some remarks
by the county president, and splen-
did offering to the county in cash aid
ed by a threatening rain cloud closed
most successful convention.
Special mention should be made of
the music and help of the Wright Or
chestra, which was excellent.
Officers elected for the coming year
were:
