SALISBURY MUST WAIT
Secretary McAdoo Writes Price That
PostOfIice Can't be Erected Until
After The War.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo notified
Representative Price today that the
new 100000 postoffice building,
which Congress has authorized for
Salisbury, will not be constructed
until after the war. The site for
the building has been purchased, but
the contract for its construction has
not been let. Upon receipt of the
letter, Mr.. Price wrote Mr.. McAdoo
to ascertain whether or not the con-
struction of the postoffice building at
! Cambridge also would be delayed.
| The contract for this building has
! been awarded.
| Mr.. McAdoo, in his letter TO Mr..
| Price, appeals to the Salisbury peo-
! pie to accept the delay in a spirit of
! patriotism. He said the Federal
Government was confronted with an
enormous task in financing the war
and its financial resources must be
! conserved as well as its other re-
! sources.
/ Il am certain that there is not a
patriotic American citizen who is not
willing to submit to Inconvenience
to help win this war" Mr.. McAdoo
/ said. II am sure that the people of
/ Salisbury when they know the facts
will be more than willing to have
( the construction of their public
. building deferred for a short time, SO
/ that the money which would other
wise be put to it may be used to buy
( clothing and food and ammunition
/ for the gallant sons of Maryland and
other States who are going out to
/ fight and perhaps die for their coun-
! try. l am asking that you Will be
good enough to let the people of
Salisbury understand the situation
and TO assure them that had not the
war come to America there would
have been no unnecessary delay in
/ the construction of their Federal
building, The building will be pro
. crossed GAS rapidly as possible after
the retJrn of peace"

HE MIGHT HELP SOME.

Accnriing to dispatches yesterday, fuel
administrator may be appointed for Alaska.
We don't know whether such official would help
the situation any, unless he would devote his
time to educate US or force US to acquire the
habit of using wood instead Of coal. Of course,
that would help considerable. It would be the
means of saving coal and paradoxical as it may
seem, while using wood we would save it at
the same time.
There are thousands upon thousands cords
of wood wasted in the country every year, with
the exception of the Nome division, that could
be used instead Of COAL Timber grows, but not
COAL by using it we would clear the land and pre-
vent fire from destroying a lot of standing
timber.
We may say that there is enough dead
timber within radius of two miles of Ketchikan
to keep the entire population warm the next five
years, but is allowed to rot on the ground; mean
while we keep on wasting money in buying coal
during these hard times.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Decoration Day this year may well be OBJ
served for we are brought closer to the purpose
of the day than at any time in the history OF the
country since the civil war, from which the
practice of visiting the graves of the fallen
originated. The day this year will add to its
solemnity by the fact that some OF our sons,
brothers or friends have fallen in their desire
to follow in the steps of those who fell in previous
wars and for the same noble purpose, that of
freedom Let us unite in prayer tomorrow that
those who are fighting now may be spared that
a year hence when another Memorial Day comes
around again. no more graves will need decora-
ton than today. Let us pray tomorrow that
every one of our boys who have left to join the
battle of freedom may be with us in person in
stead of in their graves.
