Kate Hinton Knits Socks
The New Way

Of course. YOU are kntng-everybody doing
i-but are you knitting the new way, the way that
means two socks at time-a pair in the time you
used to take for one?
Yesterday took my knitting bag and hled me
down to the Knitting instructor to learn the new way
and as went down very early, was the first per-
son there and so had the individual attention of the
instructor before other women began struggling in.
Once the method is explained to you it is so very
simple that YOU wonder why no one thought of it
BEFORE and your fingers fairly fly with the needles
when you remember that YOU can help twice as
many soldiers and sailors keep warm, for they all
say that these wooden hand-knt socks mean so much
toward their comfort, and friend of mine who has
not yet gone across, and Who heretofore has be-
longed in the siken-shod class told recently that
he actually has not worn anything but wooden socks
since he first went into camp, and that they are so
comfortable he never intends to wear any other
kind again.
Of course, you have no trouble getting any
shade of yarn that you need for the socks, for the
Art Needlework Department, second floor, has a full
line of both natural color and gray, and just the
needles that are needed.
After knit and knit and knit until no more socks
are needed am going to make myself a sweater
by this new method using one color for the outside
and another for the inside, and am sure that it will
be pretty. Perhaps you will want one, too, and you
will be glad to have had the hint from

SHORTAGE
IS SERIOUS
Food Administration Has Found
it Necessary to Put Country
on a Card Ration System.

+. E. Bronson, local food adj
ministrator, on last Saturday re-
ceived a copy of the official order
placing the country on card ra-
ton system in so far as sugar is
concerned. Mr.. Bronson received
in the same mail supply of sugar
ration cards.
Two pounds per person per month
is the American ration. No mer-
chant is permitted to sell a pound
of sugar to any person who is
without ration card.
Food Administrator Bronson will
issue food ration cards to any one
who applies for the same. The
ration card entities the holder to
purchase two pounds of sugar per
month for each member of his
family.
When a merchant makes a sale
of sugar he must limit the quantity
to the number of pounds called for
on the ration card, and make an
endorsement on the back of the card
showing the date of the sale, the
Dealers name, and the quantity
sold. After a customer has bought
his allowance of sugar, no merchant
will honor the ration card again
during the month in which the pur-
chase was made.
The sugar situation is serious
Before the war the Allied nations
drew virtually no sugar from the
sources of American supply. Now
about one-third of the sugar from
these sources is going to the Allies.
No good American is going to OBJ
ject to the card ration system for
sugar at time when the lives of
our young men and those of our
allies are being sacrificed upon the
CORY ba,tlehelds, and when little
patriotism and economy on our part
will help to relieve the situation.
Alaska's Federal Food Admins
tration earnestly asks every Alas
kan to make one spoon of sugar
do the work of two every day until
the war is through.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR NURSES

The United States Army and
Navy have asked for 1880 regis
tered trained nurses by July ., 1919
for the care of wounded and sick
soldiers and sailors.
This will take one-half of the
present skilled nursing forces of the
United States. The effect of this
upon the public health will be dis
astrous unless a large number of
women enlist in the public health
service and begin training at once.
Every well-educated young wom-
an who is interested in dealing with
the many problems in this field, is
urged to enter enc of the training
schools for nurses where she viii,
get firm foundation for future
work while at the same time enter

GUS nursing work OF the country
An appeal is also made for pri-
vate duty nurses, who, on account
of family ties or some other reason,
cannot join the Red Cross nursing
service for military duty, are urged
to consider most seriously the needs
of the home service in the public
health field. The cal, is imperative.

PETERSBURG IS
NOT PRO.GERMAN
Editor Perkins Challenges
Certain Statements Alleged
to Have Been Made by
Assistant District At
torney Steve Raglan
Petersburg Report.)

A vicious libel on the good name
of the town of Petersburg has been
uttered and spread broadcast by one
of the leading officials of the De-
partment of Justice in the First Di-
vision, according to the story pub
Iished in the Alaska Daily Dispatch,
of the issue of August 9th. Peters
burg has been branded as a hot
bed of pro.Germanism' and the
statement as published intilnated
that the red light district was closed
as result of pro-German activities.
Assistant District Attorney Steve
Raglan is credited by the Dispatch
with having made the statements
against the good name of Peters
burg.
This statement is far from the
truth and is holly resented by all
loyal residents, and they are legion,
of this community. Petersburg will
stand on her record and she is
proud of it. Petersburg was the
first city in Alaska to double her
quota for the Third Liberty Loan
and also trebled her share OF the
Red Cross War Fund. Deputy
Marshal Noah Howell has been in
vestigating reports of pro-German
activities in this place and has stated
to the members of the city council
that he is willing to make affidavit
that there are practically no pro-
German activities here.
After making extensive investi-
cations the only pro-German activ-
tiles found here by Marsha, Howell
consisted of a few remarks made by
three men while in one of the houses
in the red light district. A full re-
port of these facts has been for
warded to the proper officials. I'm
der the law it is classed as
"sedition' for any person to utter
or publish anything tending to de-
tract from the respect and dignity
of Government officials. There
should be some law which would
make it a crime for these same
officers to brand an entire commun-
ity as pro-German because one or
two have leanings that way
The red light district here was
closed as the result of petition of
the citizens and was the direct re-
suit of the shooting of Mrs. Nelson
at Scow Bay some time ago. That
the district was closed on accoun,
OF pro- German activities as init
mated is untrue. IT Mr.. Raglan
has any evidence or any suspicion
of pro-German activities here he
should step forward with the proof
and bring the guilty parties to JUS
tice. IT he will do that, the town
OF Petersburg will he with ham al
most to a man.
The Petersburg City Council, as
the representative body of the town
have adopted resolutions of protest
against the action of Mr.. Ragan
and copies of the resolution will be
forwarded to the higher authorities
with recommendations that action
be taken to stop further mis- state
ments of this kind.
