USE OF BEEF CURT ALLIED
BY FOOD CHIEF

And yet again the cry for help
has sped across the seas to America
Once more the allied armies. who are
fighting with their backs to the wall,
waiting and praying for the time when
America can fully and without stint
hurl her mighty forces onto the foe
and crush them back, back beyond
the Rhine. have asked Americans at
home to help
The beef supply is falling short
Americas reserve is very low. The al
lied demand Is constantly increasing
America and her people must save
beef
II is the hope OF the U. S Food Ad
minJstration that during the next
three months the civilian demand for
beef will b. greatly decreased. and
10 this end Herbert Hoover has issued
an order prohibiting the hotels and
restaurants from serving beef in any
form for more than four meals a week
These beef" days are definitely
named. and beef in anv Of its forms
can only be served az these times
''The food administration realizes, :"
stated Robert ] Grant. executive man
ager of Colorado food administration.
that II cannot enforce the beef rul-
ings In private homes. nevertheless II
Is IN these homes that most OF the
beef will be saved. Voluntary ration
ing has been tremendously successful
in the past and It will not fail in the
meat crisis"
IN England long lines of people
weave slowly and patiently into q
shop in order to obtain a scanty sup

cents for five pounds. The people of
the states are not asked to live on
bones. They are only asked to substi-
tute in some degree fresh pork. bacon.

We are at war The war Is ouru.
Those ~ MS who stay at home must do

Training Little Children.

Children are so open-henrted and
ready and respond so sweetly and
quickly to faith and trust that we often
miss great happiness by not sharing
our hopes and joys more freely with
them.
If We keep the bond very close. our
home will become the great meeting
place Of all children. and this love and
companlonShip between parents and
children will be like powerful mag
net whose attraction the children can
not resist.
So, from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurements
of the world can draw our children
from us, but can rest assured that they
will always return to the center of
deep repose."

 The patrol boat is being maintained by a syndicate of Chatham and Icy straits packers for the protection of traps from fish pirates.
 J. T. Barron, president of the Thlin- ket Packing company, reports that fish pirates have been operating in this section wit hamazing audacity during the past ten days. Traps have been robbed of fish without regard to pro- tests of watchmen. Already a list of several alleged to be guilty of these thefts has been prepared for presen- tation to federal officials for prosecu- tion.-Juneau Empire.

YOU CAN'T LICK HIS KIND

He drifted into the Argus office Tuesday afternoon. He wanted sev- eral copies of the satire on the Kaiser which this paper published several weeks ago.
 He was little old man, over sev- enty, he said, but as active as kid He wore an old plaid cap, overalls, gray flannel shirt, and his hands showed that he had just come from manual labor.
 But the first thing noticed was the service pins on his breast-one with three stars and the other with one.
 My boys are all at the front said he. Two of them are with Johnny Bull and the others with Pncle Sam They did not wait to be drafted. We are going to lick the boots off T. Huns-take my word for it.

RAILROAD MEN RESPOND
 TO CALL TO COLORS

ANCHORAGE, (By MaiD-Sixty- five employees of the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission are among the ninety-nine registrants under the selec- tive conscription law that responded to the first call for military recruits in Anchorage.
 The quota of Anchorage in the first draft was 1S4, but of this number S4, after they had registered in Anchorage changed their residence to the states. At the time of the local draft, they were notified by the Anchorage Elk emption board to report to exemption boards in the states. These Anchorage registrants in the states will be de tailed to training camps there.
 Only one of the 100 drafted regis trants, recorded as residing in the Anchorage district, failed to respond at the appointed time for induction into the military service. The exemption board officials believe he probably moved from the district without think ing of notifying them of his change f address, His name has been turned over to the office of the United States Marshal, whose instructions are to ap- prehend the delinquent and deliver him to the military authorities.

NEW SCRAPER INVENTED WILL
 BOOST MINING

From all reports the new under
 ground scraper which is now operat. 1 ing on Is below Fairbanks creek is
 doing marvellous work. The scraper
 is the invention of Jack Tool and J. c.
 Stewart, and from it's present perform ance will revolutionize the mining
 game in Alaska.
 1 The equipment being used at present 1 is a small sized Bagley scraper oper- ated by 6xS double drum hoist with
 the leads being arranged for the filling and return of the scraper. At presen, the scraper is operating in a tunnel 120 feet in length from the shaft, ter minating in a crosscut in which the scraper works. The dirt is loaded in- to the car by means of trap, the run
 way of the car being five feet in bed rock and below the level of the pay dirt.
 From the observation of Val Die bold, who paid visit to the mine in which the new scraper is working, the actual performance of the scraper by timing was 49 even-wheelbarrow buc- kets in one and one-half hours, being the equivalent of three 7-men gangs or twenty-one men for the same length of time
 But three men are employed in the plant of the new invention; hoist man, one car tender, and man to look after the lines and blocks. The most diffiucult part of the working of the new machine is the sez curing of enough thawed dirt to keep it going steadily. and when that prob lem is studied out the economical working of all low grade ground will be . great factor in making the output for this camp up to that of former years. The inventors are now work ing on a thawing machine which, it is hoped, will keep the ground thawed in such quantities that no cessation or the work will be required. This will permit the ground being able to pro duce under ordinary circumstances about 40 buckets an hour. The main requisite is large bodies of ground that could be worked in quick time The only additional expense would be the employment of one extra man whose work would be putting in bulkheads to prevent the ground from slabbing off.
 To the inventors credit must be given for devoting so much time to the betterment of the mining game in this camp. Should their invention prove the success that is hoped all of the old machinery in the camp will be used in some manner or other in equip ping mines in the modern method- Fairbanks News-Miner.

 The War Savings Stamps drive started off with vim Thursday when ten young ladies wearing the official badges, canvassed the town to remind the people of the opportunity to in vest their savings. The town hall was open all day to enable the citizens to purchase stamps or make pledges for future purchases.
