ALASKA HAS
 FINE RECORD
Territory Entitled to Rank High in the Matter of Voluntary En-
 Gstments for Service

In the official Bulletin of Janu-
 ary 2 is given list of what is des-
 ignatcd as Banner Communities"
 from which the draft quotas have
 been filled by voluntary onlistmonts.
 While thirty different states are
 named os having furnished Ban
 uer Communities" oregon heads the
 list with l3 counties, Kansas and
 South Dakota tying for second place with l2 each. The state of Wash ngtou is not mentioned in the list
 In connection with the above Cen cral Manager P. R. Bradley of the
 Trcadwcu Company, suggests that, had close count been kept on those who registered in Alaska, and who have since either enlisted here or gone Co Che outside and enlisted, the number would be found Co show a greater percentage of voluntary ou- .ustmeuts than any of the Banner
 Communities" mentioned in the Of- ncial Bulletin.
 From reports from other parts Of thc Territory it is apparent that as many young men who were regis tered have gone Co the outside from . those as have gone from this DOT tion and it is we'll known that fully forty per cent of those registered ! locally have since gone to the out side and it is also a fact that fully ! thrcc-fourths of those who have
 gone out have enlisted in various ! departments of Che service and for such cnlistments Alaska has not re- ceivcd due credit. In addition Co those who went Co Che outside be-
 fore culistiug. a large number, 90 | mighty big percentage Of Che young
 men who were on Douglas Island land Gustincau Channel six months !. ago have enlisted here, been acccpt-
 ed and have gone Co various camps
 in Che states.
 Mr. Bradley gives it as his opiu- | ion that in the event of Alaska be- ing given due credit for the number of voluntary cnlistmcnts she has al-
 ready provided. it win be found that her quota will have been filled and chat drafting will not Doc necessary.
 At any rate, Che record already
 made by Alaska is one that few, if iauy outside communities of propor- ! donate population can excel

Always For Home Interests.

There are but few editors in our
State who have not made vigorous
and continuous fight against the city
mail order house. This has been
done in the interest of the home mer-
chant, and without money and with
out price. If the editors of the land
had received regular advertising
rates for all they have said against
these enemies of the country mer-
chant they could be wearing dia-
monds. Now the department store
man appreciates advertising space
and is willing to take all the average
country editor has for sale, and at
good price. What other class of
business or professional man would
refuse business to help their friends,
as many of said friends
never seem in the least disposed to
return the compliment or even ap-
preciate it.

Get a Hustle On.

The man who sets with expectant
countenance and idle hands waiting
for prosperity to jolt up against him,
and ask to be taken in over night,
bids fair to be disappointed again.
There was never a time yet when
prosperity was looking around for
furnished rooms in the house of any
person on record. Prosperity is not
that kind of an animal and no man
should sit-with his mouth open wait
ing for the morsel of the succulent
article to drop into it. He will catch
nothing but a few unsatisfactory
flies, and perhaps a bad cold. The
man who is really DESTROYS of Guilt
waiting the acquaintance of the illu-
sive creature will have to put his
hustling clothes on, as heretofore,
and get up and dust.

Don't Patch The Roads.

The time has come when unscien-
tific patching of country roads ought
to cease. The farmer needs good
road a great deal more than the
pleasure driving automobilist. To
the latter a bad road means simply
a little discomfort. To the farmer
it means many hours of time wasted
while he draws his loads through the
sloughs of mud. 1t means that he
must keep more horses and that his
beasts of burden will wear out quick
err. Let every farmer insist that the
road officials of his neighborhood dc
modern, scientific work.

Our Merchants Liberal.

Other towns may be jealous of our
little city and its trade, but there is
no jealousy on our part of our people.
Our merchants and our business men
are liberal in their dealings and hold
out inducements in both quality and

this fact, and when people come they
find things as advertised, and this,
with the disposition to please are
sure trade winners. This is why peo-
pie are coming from other towns to

ADVICE TO WOOL GROWERS

Reports from Washington and Bos-
ton, Massachusetts,, state that the
members of the Boston Wool Trade
Association have agreed to accept
Major General Cocktails proposal to
fix the price of wool at present on a
basis of the price of July 30, 1917.
The Government will take over all
wool in the warehouses on this basis.
If holders do not agree to sell, their
wool will be Communicated. The
greater part of this wool will be
used by the Government for uni
forms and other Government sup
plies and that which remains will be
distributed among the mills for civ
ilian needs. Major Gen. Goethal ad-
vises all wool centers that the 1918
clip should not. be disposed of during
the next thirty days in order that
the Government may have time to
determine its exact needs for the
coming year. Reports from Wash
ington indicate that the Government
will arrange to receive the 1918 clip
on the basis of the price mentioned,
but urges the producers not to dis
pose of their wool until more def
mite information is made available.
1t would seem advisable for Ken
lucky wool producers to pack and
store their seasons clip in the best
possible way for at least few weeks
until the Government has issued
issued more definite information. Care
should be taken by producers to so,
pack their wool that the quality will
not be injured either by staining or
mildew. In packing wool away
either store it in wool sacks or In a
clean, dry bin.
The Department of Animal Hus-
bandry Of the College Of Agriculture,
Lexington, will be glad to offer fur
Their suggestion on storage and the
Department of Markets will be pleas
ed to give further Information re-
garding the marketing problem at
the earliest date at which it re-
ceives further definite information
from Washington.

Seems An Unjust Law.

Newspaper publishers are untir-
ing in the effort to have Congress
repeal the heavy increase in postage
TO which they will be subjected July
J., or at least defer the time for the
new law to go into effect. 1t is
claimed that the increase will put a
barge number of papers out Of bust
mess, and seriously cripple all of the
others.
There seems to us to be no good
reason why the papers should be dis
eliminated against. The Government
needs them more than ever to give
publicity and assistance to the ,vari-
Gus plans for raising money and 9TH
er efforts. They gave millions OF
dollars worth Of free advertising to
the sale of the Liberty Bonds. and
without their aid they could not have
been near SO successfully fioated
And THE NEWS is proud of the as
sistance it rendered in all these
movements. But the Government
owes it to the publishers to be
friendly and as liberal with them as
possible, because of this and the
capitalization of the public senti-
meut In favor of supporting the
President in every way. The part OF
wisdom demands the reconsideration
sof the law. which is an unjust one.
