COMFORT KITS
 AID MORALE0F
 MAN IN TRENCH

The women of Fairbanks, Ester and Chatanika have made and ship ped within the past few weeks 335 comfort kits. These were sent from Seattle in two consignments, and as both were rush orders, it was not possible for the Woman's Bureau to give the remote branches the privi- lege of sharing in this work.
 The Red Cross bulletin states: "Ev. cry man who goes to the trenches carries a comfort kit. Over "~' above its practical use, the comfort kit serves to carry message of cor dial good will to the man in the trench and the man on the ship from the nation that sent them there General Pershing. in speaking of the kits sent to his men in Mexico by the Red Cross, said: These things make the soldier remember that the people at home are behind him. You do not know how much that will AiSoh No uS Who dlC SOlA6 You do not know how much that means to any soldier who is over there carrying the Flag of his Country"
 The kits are made of khaki-cOl- Ored twill and contain a housewife, strong cord, cigarette lighter, shaving soap, a tooth brush comb, both in cases, and pencil with an eraser and protected point. They may also contain jack knife and a stone for sharpening the same; razor, post cards, small towel and handkerchief The housewife Is outtitted with pins, needles, and thread of various kinds, and with buttons and hooks and eyes.
 The Ester ladies made 54 kits; the Chatanika Knitting club, con- posed of Mesdames Baxter, Bond, Fuller, Ivey, Mclean, Shermer, Weiss and Miss Fuller, made 36; Mrs. Lati. mer, 24; Mrs. Schooling, 22; Mrs. Seneff, IS; Mrs. Bredlie, Mrs. Croft Hamilton, Mrs. Jones.

NEW MEMBER OF
 FACULTY NAMED

It was announced yesterday that among those comprising the staff of teachers for the Fairbanks schools the coming year will be Mrs. Louis K Pratt, who will teach the seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. Pratt's ere dentials were passed upon some time ago and accepted by the school board.
 The board had been negotiating with teachers on the Outside and at the last moment they decided not to come, putting the board in jeop- ardy of having the position unified. Mrs. Pratt has filled positions credit ably in schools on the Outside, and no doubt will be an acceptable acqui- sition to the staff next year.
 The board was also advised re- gently of the leaving for Alaska of Professor c. Green, who has been engaged to act as principal here. Mir. Green halls from Arizona.
