WASTE IS CRIMINAL

ITO waste now is nothing short of criminal" Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
 The duty of the American people to economize in consumption of food and all other materials as we'll as save money, can not be too often or too strongly urged upon them. The duty is so imperative, it's observance so yi- tai to our country's success, that it should be kept constantly befort them.
 The proposition is plain and under standable. We have lessened the pro ductive powers of the country by talk ing 2,O00,000 men away from the pro ductive forces of the country; instead of producers of one kind or another the soldiers are consumers of the prod ucts of our farms, factories, and mines. and when the munitions they epend and will eXpend against the en- emy is considered they are tremendous consumers of the manufactured prod ucts of the country.
 4 tremendous amount of the manu- featuring energy of the country has been withdrawn from manufacturing the things we use in peace and put to manufacturing the things we use in war. The total loss to the country of the productive energy of our soldiers and sailors and the diversion of Q great portion of the other productive energy of the country to war purposes lessen to a great extent the amount of material and supplies produced by tho country
 To this condition of lessened pro duction and increased consumption of and by our own men must be added the extraordinary demand made upon this country to supply the armies of our allies and to a great extent their with food and other ma terial
 We must meet the condition that confronts us in two ways-by the strictest economy in consumption, for every pound we refrain from using adds pound to be devoted to the uses of our Army and Navy and the mill tary forces of our allies; and by speeding up our production to the linn it. The American people are going to be necessary to win this warto short en this war. They have only to realize the imperative duty of economy in saving and they will economize and SaVn

GRIM HUMOR IN TRICKS TRIED BY COAL HOGS" IN ATTEMPTS TO BEAT
 FUEL DISPENSERS

Some of the Federal Fuel Admins trations field agents while they are busy with the serious work in their various fields have noted some grimly humorous happenings. One field az ent tells of a Newark (N. J.) retailer who has been supprying lots of coal and he has declined all new business customers unless there was sickness the family. He was appealed to by a prospective customer who demon strated that his was a case of dire need by wheeling up delicate-looking baby, accompanied by pale wife, to the coal yard. The coal he so earn estly sought was delivered and then it was discovered that the new GUS toner had borrowed the baby.
 Jeweler as Coal Driver In the same town there was jewel 1T w took a few days off from his egular employment and got a job iriving a coal cart for a local dealer. His first trip out was with two tons of coal. This he promptly dumped into l his own cellar and then resigned, say ling that the work was too hard for him.
 Another shrewd case came before one of the Pennsylvania County fuel administrators, whose directions are that the dealers shall deliver only one ton and half-ton lots, and no coal is to be delivered where the prospective customer has a two weeks supply.
 Trick Proved Disastrous
 It was discovered that one man had two cellars connected by a long tun- nel He was ordering half-tOns and carrying the coal from one cellar to the other By the time his scheme was unearthed he had accumulated four tons, but he was still out after more coal The dealer he applied to sent him to the fuel administrator, where ne made affidavit that he had no coal at all. The next step was an indict- iiiCill HOi pCiJuiy, thC SooO OOAh6 DooKed for the next court. In addit- lon, the offender was made to take his .llCie bucket and carry three and a half Of his lll-gotten coal to the side, walk and thence load it onto a coal cart.

 FOOTING FOR ANCH-
 GRACE AND STRONG

A marked copy of the issue of De- cember 30, of the Pittsburgh, Pa, Press was received in the mail yester- day, containing the following:
 We are getting ready to offer the tourist many Inducements to visit our eountry-which is also your country just as soon as the war is over," was the statement of Charles E. Heron, publisher of the Anchorage Times, one of the leading papers of the great nor thern territory, who is guest at the Henry hotel.
 MT. Heron, who is also president of the chamber of commerce of one of the United States far-north metropo- lises as well as the Kackemav Can ming Co.,, is accompanied by P. F. Cum mings, who is interested in placer mining properties in the Anchorage district. They are on their way to Washington to work for the reappoint- ment of Governor J. F. A. Strong, ap- propriatons for road Improvements and reforms in hunting and fishing laws. They stopped here to visit with former Judge Alfred s. Moore, of Nome who was sent to Alaska by President Roosevelt after the reign of terror around which ex Beach wrote the great book, "The Spoilers"
 Mir Heron and Judge Moore arc associated in the development of quartz mining properties in the Willow Creek district, one of the rich terri tories that is being opened by the con- struction of the new government rail road. The former is president of the Willow Creek Development Go.
 Growth is Rapid.
 Anchorage is only little over two years old and it is one of the real wonder cities of the northwest" said MT. Heron yesterday. We have a that varies from 5000 to 5000 and public improvements that would shame many cities of 50,O0O. No other part of the world can equal our hunting, fishing and untouched wealth. From a scenic standpoint there is nothing in the world that equals trip over the new government railroad"
 Mir. Heron has been an Alaskan for 20 years. He has lived in every part of the territory and each year be- comes more enthusiastic about it. One of his reasons for starting the Anchorage Times, which sells for 10 cents a copy was that he might be an all-year-round booster,

MEDINA COUNTY U. ". ".
CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL

While it is practically certain that
splendid records have been made by
the committees Of all the townships
in the United War Work drive last
week, some committees have not yet
filed their reports, hence it is inp0s-
sible at this time to give complete
report. But that the total county
quota of $73,291 was more than sub
scribed is not doubted by those who
directed the campaign. Following is
the report by townships as thus far
received:
Brunswick $2663, quota $266S;
Chatham $1400, quota $2268; Gran
ger $4,000, quota $2496; Guilford, no
report, quota $6137; Harrisville, no re-
port, quota $5534; Hinckley, no re
port, quota 1926; Homer $1325, quota
$2193; Lafayette, no report, quota

According to the above incomplete
report only Granger, Medina town

Medina village and Wadsworth village
exceeded their quotas. But that sew
eral others Of those who had not re-
ported will show an oversubscription
seems assured.
