REATAUTOMOB|LE
HIGHWAY IN
ALASKA

CORDOVA, Alaska, Dec. 3. -
Richardson Highway is the name
given Alaska's great 317-mile u
tomobile stage road which climbs
south from Fairbanks, in the in
terror, over the rugged Alaska
range of mountains and connects
at Chitina with the Copper River
and Northwestern railway from
Cordova.
The road was named after Gen
eral Wilds P. Richardson, presi-
dent of the Alaska food commits
sion from 1905 until 1917, when
he vas assigned to active duty with
the American forces in France.
AS a result of General Richard
sons efforts, the government cary
ed the road through the wilder
ness to open a path to the terri
tory's interior.
Smoking volcanoes, glaciers, per-
petually white peaks, jagged cliffs,
mountain torrents and great val
legs greet the tourist who takes
the railroad here and continues
his journey to Fairbanks over the
highway. After the war, it is
hoped here, the road will become
one nj the hest Travelled of Ameri-
cas- scenic highways. Tourists
can load their automobiles on
steamers at Seattle and have them
unloaded here for the trip to Fair
banks.
R~oadhouses dot the highway at
about every 10 miles. Automobile
stages make regular trips summer
and winter with mail. They take
about SO hours to run from Chitina
to Fairbanks. In winter the stag
es are equipped with 18-inch
wheel rims for snow travel.
Travel over the road to the in
terror may be cut down when the
government railroad from Seward
to Fairbanks is completed. The
railroad is being built through
Broad Pass from Seward while the
highway runs through Isabella
Pass. Both start or connect with
ocean terminals and run to Fair
banks, the interior metropolis.

aligned according to interests, and
finally into 10 master groups,
which will federate into a single
organization. The importance of
this movement, its organizers say,
is that it will effect the largest
organization of business interests
aver attempted in the United
States.
The conference was called by
the chamber of commerce of the
United States, which has assisted
in the organization of war service
committees for each industry to
cooperate with the war industries
board and other government agen-
cies in regulation of production
during the war. A number of
prominent speakers have been en-
gagged for the general sessions, and
each industrial or trade group has
formed it's own program of topics
for consideration of the speakers.
The principal immediate pur-
pose of the conference will be to
determine practical methods by
which industry may cooperate
more closely with the government
during the reconstruction period

JERSEY SOLONS NOW
TO PAY RAIL FARES

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 2. = The
federal railroad administration has
decided that the state law requir-
ing railroads in New Jersey to fur
nish passes to certain office hold
ers is of no effect while Uncle Sam
is operating the railroads. Thus,
after Jan. 1, 1919, certain New
Jersey citizens will either pay
fare, walk, stay at home or board
in Trenton.
The governor, state senator's,
members of the house of assembly,
judges of the higher courts, certain
state officers other than the exec
utives have been entitled to these
passes, as we'll as most of the legis-
lative employees.
Each year the legislature either
added or made an effort to enlarge
the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many hold
ers and were especially desirable
to the south Jersey resident who
spent his summers at the shore.
Many of the officials now commute
to Trenton on their passes.

In this dry ing, the sheets are laid on trays in great galvanized boxes. which are so wrapped around with steam pipes that the heat is equally distributed and the bonds come out mellow and just dry enough for printing again

A Hard Death to Die

At an army camp where so many men are gathered there are humorists and humorous incidents in abundance One of the best stories concerns a. recruit from a prairie town who arrived at Camp Upton l.. l., with one of the detach- ments. After being at Upton few days his company was summoned, and the of ficer before whom the men lined up start ed detailing them off for target prac- tice the following day. "You'll be shot, . he announced to the first man and then continuing down the line he said You'll be scorer, you'll be marker, you'll be shot, etc.
 The raw trooper was one of those des- ignated to be shot" and fell out of line with the others similarly chosen Tht fact that he was to be shot the follow ing morning for no offense of which he vas cognizant troubled him, but he did not like. to ask questions, as the other '.conderhned' men apparently were but little concerned.
 On the way back to the barracks, how ever he could hold in no longer an, turning to the man nearest him. asked, 'Is it true that we are to be shot in the morning? H.. yes, and it's tough luck" was the reply from the man. who was miffed solely because he realized that it meant march of several miles to the range carrying a heavy rifle. Sometime later the recruit made his way to the camp telegraph office. wired his brother in Buffalo that he was to be shot in the morning, and requested the rela tive to come on and take charge of lAs body.
 The next morning the embryo warrio. learned that being shot' meant that lit was to shoot at the targets, and he spenr- the remainder of the day trying to think of what to say to his brother who, in answer to the telegram, came to Upto.. prepared to arrange for funeral.

 The paper is counted before it leaves the mills of Massachusetts, and 1t is inspected and counted again q the bu- reau of engraving and printing when 1t is taken out of the boxes. It comes
 in sealed packages of 100000 sheets. Every package is looked over and ev- evry bad sheet taken out and sent back to the mills. Only the amount to be used for the day is issued each morning, the sheets being counted as they go out by women, some of whom can handle as many as 100000 sheets in a day The counting is not done as we count money, a bill at a time, but by running the fingers through the sheets taking five or 10 at q time. The women's hands seem to walk through the sheets. as it were. I asks one girl how many sheets she had counted that day up to the time of my visit. Her reply was 9S,000

THE STORY OF A LIBERTY BOND-By Frank G. Carpenter

Washington, D. C. ENltIIs is a story of Liberty Bondl
 It is the story of your bond
 and mine. It is the story of
 - the 2O,0Oo,0OO bonds which have been sold to that many people Of the United States within the past year, and of the 25,Ooo,OOO more to which we shall subscribe during the. next few weeks Each of these bonds is only a scrap of paper. but it is worth more than it's weight in South African dia- monds This alone indicates that it was not made in Germany, and that the sig nature upon it is not that of the Kaiser. The value of this bond is based upon the wealth, brains and muscle of the most prosperous section of God s green earth andS upon the honor of the United States, which has never been question: ed It is the signatures upon the bond that make up it's value, and also the fact that the paper, ink and engraving are such that they cannot be counter feited.
 Take first the paper and see how it is made. Its adventures begin in wide ly separated parts of the earth. The most of it originates in the flax fields of Europe, and it comes to this country in pure linen rags. It has already serv- ed it's first purpose in the shape of handkerchiefs, tablecloths. lingerie and dresses of one kind or another, and it is as refuse that it is shipped across the ocean and sent to a nest i'll the -Berl- shire hills of Massachusetts where the paper is made. 1t IS manufactured, in mills which do no other business. Tie owners have to give a large bond and the making of this paper for any other use than that of the United States is considered crime equal to counterfeit ing. When the rags reach the mill they are cut into bits by women skilled at the trade. The women use scythe-ike knives and the rags are chopped fine. Tkey are next disinfected, then bleached by the use of chloride of lime, and then mixed with the purest spring water, which comes from an artesian we'll far back in the hills. This well is said to have the best paper making water on earth. It was bored for the purpose, and it is guarded from contamination, the water being carried in underground pipes to the mill. n
 As it flows through the macerated
