FAIRBANkSANS
 LOST IN STORM
 SEVERAL HOURS

To be lost in blinding snowstorm, with a cold north wind blowing, and with night falling, was the experience endured a week ago by Thomas c. King, Jack Shanks and Fred Petty, as they were mushing along over the trail from Fairbanks to Chitina. They started out from Paxson roadhouse shortly before noon, mushing along behind the Northern Commercial Company stage. The stage was com pelled to break trail through great drifts for the greater part of the day. When within five miles of Meier's roadhouse the rigs were compelled to turn back because of the amount of water on the trail. The mushers decided to continue to the roaGnouse, and made the attempt.
 The stages turned back about , o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at Paxson's shortly before 9 o'clock. Immediately Lloyd Beckett, in charge of the stage, telephoned to Meier.s to learn if the mushers had reached there. The roadhouse man reported that they had not, and as they were long overdue he started out in search of them.
 Owing to the heavy storms there was no sign of trail on the big lake over which the men crossed. And there was no way for them to ascer- tain definitely where the trail iefl sSzfe lake, over the hillside For that req. son grave fears were entertained for them.
 After a search of more than an hour the roadhouse man, assisted by another, found the three men, They were about a mile and half away from their destination, but were off the trail, They were, however, mak ing in the general direction of the rOadhOuse
 With the exception of MT, Shanks having his face slightly nipped with the frost, the men were in good con dition. All three arrived in Cordoya Saturday night, and will leave for the Outside within few days.

business does not go on as usual, we cannot buy staple foods in large quan- titles as we have done in the past; but we are all willing without complaint or fault-tindlng to bear our burden of the inconvenience of this war, be- cause we know that even our little, multiplied by a hundred million, will supply the needs of our army and our allies. Poverty is no disgrace and, if poor, all the more need to mix brains with all of the household processes.
 The loyal woman who has signed the food pledge with the conference and help of her family will be glad and willing to study to make those meals substantial and satisfying if she Is en- cOuraged by them 10 do her best. The constant fault-finding in the home will make a woman real martyr if she is conscientious and determined to keep her pledge.
 Frosted cake should be unseen on our tables while our people across the water are starving for sugar. Cake or candy Is too great a luxury these days to be indulged in at all often. A tea spoonful of sugar day saved of each persons supply would furnish plenty of sugar to keep our soldier boys hap py and we'll fed. We are prone to for get that our little, multiplied by one hundred million, makes an amazing amount. We are not accustomed to think in millions.
