BOYS PUBLISH HE
 SPIKER

Harry Wurzbacher, one of Skag- ways boys serving in France, re- certly sent copy of The Spiker'' a newspaper published by the Eigh- teenth Engineers Railway, U. s. Army, to Frank Fowler, who turn ed the little sheet oyer to the Al askan.
 Ire spiker contains eight pages ana sells for a half franc. It is the first paper published by Am erican troops in France. The Spik- CT announces it will be published unless something unforeseen inter veneo, until Fritz" yells Quits and will be printed as regularly and as frequently as practicable. The Spiker may be seen at the Alaskau office. It contains so much that is bright and witty we can't publish all, but print verse that gives the paper a touch of bright ness.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
FOOD SHORTAGE

At this time when the world at large is crying for food. and when nations are on the verge of starya- tiop any measure which has for its object the increasing of the food supply should be endorsed.
 Mesrs. A. J. Sprague and Frank s Wilson, who were in Skagway last summer and who planted a large quantity of fish eggs iu the near by lakes, have obtained 100000 eggs Of the Colorado Brook trout, and many more of the Alaska Cut Throat tr-ut, which eggs are now in the hatchery at Juneau.
 It is desired that AIaska's gov pruor give an appropriation out CT a special fund 10 carry on this work, and hence make il possible for trout to be planted in the numerous lakes in Southeastern Alaska which are easily accessible for food purposes. We urge our readers to send Gov erRor strong petitions and letters requesting a special appropriation.
 The Alaskan Council Ot National Defense in Juneau has taken up this matter, as has also the South eastern Alaska Fish and Game Club. Skagway's lakes offer a fer tile field for fish growing, and We believe that 9 little money spent in planting fish there will bring many times the value in food re- turn. The Territorial treasury at a recent date had a large sum of mon- ey on hand, and we believe a small part of it could not be used more wisely than to aid in the produc- ton of fish food.

France and England none believed that business could run along as usua if we were to win the war.
 BUSINESS AS USUAL was a catch phrase intended to keep some people from losing their heads. And It di3 that very thing.
 After being in the war nine months, business in the United 5totes is better than it ever was. Prosperity is rampant. People have money to invest and spend.
 In that connection the Pacific Tourists Association is expecting twice as many tourists in the Northwest this summer than hav@ ever visited the section in one year.
 The war will not stop the vaca- tiOnS Of Americans, who will need rest this summer more than ever under the strain of war work. The annual vacation is an institution. And many of those who formerly spent their outings in Europe and he Eastern resorts, are being in .erested in the Northwest.

EXPECT LARGE TOURIST
 TRAVEL

The Daily Alaskan consistently maintained that tourist travel the coming season will be far in excess Of last year, and stater as its req sons that people will have over con g their fear of travel, and that pros 3erity will have given them more means to travel with. The most concrete example which we mentioned was that of Canada, whose people during the second year Of the war travelled in much larger numbers than during the first year. The following clipping from the Tacoma News adds weight to this opinion.

of farmers did not have feed enough
for their horses. while the crops was
being sown. Let this not happen
again.
Plans should be made at once for
silo crops as corn, sorghum, feterita,
milo maize and kaffir corn. If there
is an excess of corn it should be car
ried over in the silo to years when it
will be needed. Corn that is made in.
to good silage will keep in good cor
dition for years without loss.
The silo is the farmers mainstay
and he must learn to depend upon it.
1t is the most indispensable piece o.

drought conditions best, give the larg-

4 Word of Warning

The United States Government has
made survey of production for 1918
through the public schools of the coun-
try. Reports now being received
show that more feed for live stock
should be produced than the farmers
of Colorado have planned. According
to reports from 6,100 farms, there is
to be nc increase this year in corn,
sorghum, kaffir, milo maize, fetcrita,
sudan or millet. Reports from $500
farms show that there will be a de-
crease of IS per cent in alfalfa hay
and other hay.
From this it can be readily under
stood that the situation may become
serious. There will be plenty of live
stock to consume every bit of feed.
The increase in cash table crops as
wheat rye and barley probably ac-
counts for there being no increase u
the feed crops. In the spring Of 1917
the feed situation was very bad. Lots
