 WITH SuLzER Governor Asks Delegate to lntercede to Prevent lm- pairment of Alaska
 Mail Service.
CONFER ON MATTE R
Governors Action Follows Conference with Com mittee of Council of
 National Defense.

Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr., and committee of the Council of De- fense conferred yesterday afternoon with reference to the failure of the Postoffice Department and the trans portation lines operating between Al aska and Seattle on a proper remun eration for carrying the mail. the determination of the Postoffice De partment to transport the mail be- tween Seattle and Alaskan ports by freight or express, the consequent elimination of the mail clerks on the that will devolve upon Alaska as a result of the proposed changes. The result of the conference was a dispatch from Gov. Riggs to Dele gate Charles A. Sulzer, explaining the whole matter and urging him to take the matter up with the Post office Department, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Council of Ma tional Defense. The announcement that there will be no mail boat on Ine WSSlWdTu run lTOI1 O6WdTu IO the Alaskan Peninsula and Aleutian Island ports, and the hardship that would result therefrom, were also taken up at the same time.
 The committee of the Council of National Defense consisted of Charles D. Garfield, B. M. Behrends, H. P. Gallagher, Z. M. Bradford and E. c. Russell.
 It has been explained that a re- suit of the new arrangement will be the necessity of delivering the mail as freight or express at the dock at o'clock on the days be- fore the night sailings of steamers, and another result, on account of the lack of mail clerks, will be de- lay in the distribution of mail mat ter arriving from the South.
 Word will probably be received from Delegate Sulzer at an early date, as to what can be done in Washington.

JUNEAU MEN
 BOX AND PITCH
 FISH AT CANNERY
Prominent Patriots Do Lo- cal War Work by AS- '' sisting in Juneau
 Fish Pack.

Now is the time for people in Juneau to change from their dress suits to sou'westers," said J. C. Me Bride, of the J. H. Long Packing Company, "and many men of affairs here are setting a good precedent for people. At the first of the season several women in Juneau decided that if they were to do cannery work they would break into the game away from town and so secured em ployment at some of the canneries out from Juneau. They did that be cause they knew too many people here
 Tuesday night we had load of fish in and we had some boxing to be done. I called up some men in town and asked them if they would help and not one refused to do SO Those who worked in addition to our regular crew that night were w w. Casey, legislator, Harry Lucas assistant cashier of B. M. Behrends Bank, J. w. Bell. Clerk of the Court H. L. Faulkner, prominent attorney Bob Barclay, foreman of a piling camp. H. M. Truesdale, foreman of a machine shop, Ed. Provinse, truck driver for the c. w. Young Com pany and myself
 Attorney, Legislator, bank cash fer and Clerk of the Court and oth- CTS worked until nearly midnight lacquering, mailing boxes and truck ing. Others, including B. M. Beh rends and John Beck, have volun teered to help us any time we need them when the time comes.
 While they were working H. J Fisher and j. H. Long on the Earl M., arrived with load of fish for fish onto the dock
 Our volunteer workers finished lacquering, mailing and trucking 1,700 cases of fish during the evening
 Surely these men of affairs are setting a good example for the com munity."
 Mr Mcbride assured the reporter that he wished no publicity for his cannery as his output is already sold. It is his idea, however to have as many canneries as possible along the waterfront of Juneau be cause, "as,' said MT. Mcbride, "Ju neau'S salvation is in the deVelOD ment of the fishing industry here.

THE FIRST ALASKAN
 GIRLS TO ENNTER
 OUR NAVAL SERVICE

FAIRBANKS, July 12.-The recent mail brought the information of the entering into the Naval service of the United States of two former Falr banks girls, Misses Elsie and Jean Sutherland, daughters of Mrs. M. F. Sutherland, of this city, says the Fairbanks Citizen.
 Both of the girls were educated in the Fairbanks public schools, Jean graduating and later teaching the seventh grade pupils here for a period of two years. After leaving the service of the schools she went to the University of Washington for a twO-year course.
 Elsie went through the third year of the high school here and shortly after leaving school went to a bust ness college in Seattle for the pur pose of studying telegraphy Short ly after her graduation from that institution both the girls followed telegraphing for one of the compan- ies in that city, resigning their posts to take the Government examinations to enter service.
 In competitive examination they passed with high credits and were required to go through physical examination of as rigorous a nature as that required of the men. One of them was three pounds under the weight required and will have to ac- quire this weight before being en- listed in the service, which will be in three weeks.
 The rating given the girls when taken into the service will be that of yoewomen, which corresponds to that of being a bookkeeper or other clerical work of like nature. They will receive the same rate of pay as a yoeman, $6S.5O per month. with all clothing and other necessities furnished.

The courthouse was abandoned by the county admins tration three years ago when the new building was ready for use.

THAT IN ORDER TO PREVENT

Franc Mangum, federal food admin

ed today that in order to prevent the

smaller than the pound size the rule
prohibiting the manufacture or sale
of butter in less than pound prints
has been amended SO as to go into
effect on January 1, 1919, instead of
on September Is, 1918. This is to
prevent the waste Of supplies of
printed paper and cartons already on
hand.
After the first of the year no quar-
ter or half-pound prints or any prints
less than a pounds can be made or
sold; provided however that retail
err may cut unit of pound or more
and sell a portion of any size de-
manded by his customer,
The rule. it is expected, will result
in the saving of considerable guam
titles of paper as much more is re-
quired to wrap a pound in quarters
or halves than in one piece. There
will also be a large saving in cartons
and in the labor necessary in putting

SPECIAL CARE TO
BE TAKEN TO DE-
FER ACGIE WORKERS


Under ITne-Eaaalfe@@ of the War depart
ment for executing the new draft law,
special provision is made for inform
ing the district boards in regard to
farm-labor requirements in order that
necessary food production may be
maintained
In the new draft the district boards
are charged with the duty of putting
into deferred classes those who are
more likely to further the war by
remaining in civilian occupations than
by entering the army Accordingly.
three advisers are to be selected &C.
each district board--One for asricuI-
ture, one for labor, and one for oc-
equations The agricultural adviser
will be appointed by the board upon
the recommendation of the secretary
of agriculture. The advisers are not
members of the board but may, when
invited, attend their meetings.
The duties of the agricultural adj
wiser will be to furnish to the board
facts relative to farm-labor require
ments, not only of his own district
hut of the whole country. He should
be the repository of all facts having
relation TO the deferment Of agricul-
tural workers, whether these be
necessary farm laborers, managers or
operators. He will be expected to ad-
wise the district boards as to shortage
or surplus of necessary farm workers
Tor any given district. as we'll as for
the entire nation. Such information
will be supplied to the advisers by the
department of agriculture. This will
make it possible to have necessary
workers transferred from districts in
which they may not be necessary 10
other district in which they are sore
ly needed.
The adviser may also concern him
self with individual cases that come
before the district board. He will
have the right, under certain con-
ditions. to examine the question
naires and other records in the files
Of the local board for the purpose of
ascertaining whether persons entitled
to deferred classification have actual
" claimed it In case he finds the
names of such registrants he may
file for them a claim for deferred
classification with the district board,
which, in turn, may require the local
board to certify the QUESTIONABLE ana
record of any such registrants for

Guard Against Flu"

That there might be a working or
ganization in readiness in the event
of a more serious outbreak of Influ-
enza, acting under the orders of the
State Board of Health, Dr. Geo. S.
Smith, County Health Officer, called
a conference with the heads of the
Council Of Defense and the Red Cross
and plans We're made which will no
doubt prove of great benefit should
the disease become as prevalent here
as it is in some sections. A commit
tee was appointed consisting of DR..
Smith, representing he Board of
Health; Ray Millman, the Council of
Defense; T. B. Moore, Miss Kate
Wright and Frank Summers, repre-
senting the Red Cross. This commit
tee may list nurses and physicians
available, secure Hospital convent
ences and take charge of the situation
should conditions become critical.
This is not expected, but is precau-

SEWARD COUNTY GOES
"OVER THE TOP" STRONG
Exceeded Quota With But Little
Effort. Over 100000 Is
Subscribed

The Fourth Liberty Loan Drive
is thing of the past in Seward coun-
ty. The Quota of $8S,35O was raised
coming In until the total was swelled
to over One Hundred Thousand dol
lars. That is the answer of Seward
county to the peace talk of the kaiser.
1t was remarkable that such a sum
of money could be raised so easily
and so quickly. 1t seemed that al
most everyone was ready and willing
to go the limit, and it is likely that
the peace propaganda which broke
loose during the drive was as much
as anything else responsible. The
people of Kansas are not scrappy
people. They are slow to wrath, but
when they go into fight they never
quit until they are through, and they
are strong for staying with the war
until Germany howls for mercy on
bended knee. And they are ready
to do their full part to foot the bill
uncomplainingly.
Saturday night there were but six
counties in Kansas which had raised
their quota and Seward was one of
them.

Elmrr m. Shrltnn
SERGT. LAWRENCE M. WINNER

Son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. NJ. WINNER
was among the first Liberal boys to
hear the call to arms in defense of
right and justice, and after having
served a short time in the training
camp at Camp Funston, went with
his company to France.
And now comes the sad news that
he has fallen in battle; has made the
Supreme Sacrifice; has paid with his
life the price of Liberty.
Lawrence Winner was among our
best young men. He was steady and
reliable, honest and Industrious.
For several years he was an employee
of the Chas Taylor Drug Store, and
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
his employer.
Sergeant WINNER was married on
May IS, 1918, to Miss Mabel Heikes
of Norton, Kansas, one week before
leaving for France. He was 25 years
old at the time of his death.
He was graduate of Liberal high
school, class of 1918, after which he
took course in Pharmacy, passed
the State examination, and immedi,
ately thereafter accepted a position
in the Taylor drug store, which po.
sition he left to go to war.
The official notification has not
been received from Washington, but
letters written him by his parents
were returned last week with the no
tation that he had been killed in
action. A few days later his wife,
who is principal of schools at Nara
Visa, New Mexico, received from
William H. Swan, a comrade of
Lawrence, letter from which the
following is an extract:
"He was killed in a charge while
faithfully discharging his duty dur
ing a day-break attack by a German
rading party. When the alarm was
sounded they filed out and extracted
a toll from the Germans four-fold,
and soon had them back in the trnch-
es. He was considered one Of the
best Sargeants, and was afraid of
nothing. He had just been made
Platoon Sergeant and would have
won his commission soon. His per-
sonal effects will be forwarded and
will write as soon as we find out
where he was laid to rest.
Sergeant WINNER is survived by
his parents, his wife, three brothers,
Orrin of this city, Franz, of Norton,
and Lieut.. Thomp WINNER of Camp
Colt, Virginia; two sisters, Miss
Flo WINNER and Mrs. Eugene Jarrett
of Nara Visa, New Mexico.
Be- ides the family there are a
host of friends who are sad today
at the news of his passing, but proud
that he met death bravely in so just
a cause.
