EDWARD LEARN LAID AT REST;
 MANY ATTEND

At the undertaking parlors yes terday afternoon at 2:30 was held the funeral service of Edward Hearn, the Tenderfoot mining man who re- gently passed away. The parlors were filled with those who attended to pay their last respects to a pio- neer of the north. The funeral was in charge of Igloo No. 4, Pioneers of Alaska, and Rev. H. H. Lumpkin delivered the funeral services.
 A quartette composed of Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, L. R. Gillette, M. O. Carlson and R. W. Taylor rendered hymns. Following the services the remains were taken to the Fairbanks cemetery for interment, attended by a large number of friends.
 The deceased was an oldtimer in the country, being well known in the Dawson district during the early days. For the past twelve years he has associated himself with the min ing game in the Panama Valley. To- eating at Tenderfoot, where he car ried on extensive operations. By his death the community loses a man of sterling worth and whose business integrity was above re- proach.
 He was born in the State of Mis- sissippi in the year 1868. Leaving his home state, he went to Colorado and in 1896 was married there. Shortly after his marriage he an swered the call of the north. and since that time has been resident of Alaska or the Yukon country. Surviving him are his wife. who is in Fairbanks. a father who re sides in Arkansas. and a number of brothers and sisters in Buffalo. Ms. souri.

CAPT. LANGLEY
 LATE ARRIVAL

Arriving on yesterdays stage was Capt. Wallace Langley. who has been on the Outside for the winter. His oldtime friends were glad to see him. and many hearty salutations were exchanged.
 The captain has not been in Fair banks for two seasons. having taken his steamboat, the Panama, to the Kuskokwim and engaged in the trans portation business there. He is now on his way to that district and will leave on one of the first down river boats to take charge of his craft.
 Many of the children had hopes that the genial river man was com ing to Fairbanks to stay. and anti cipated the annual outing. but will be disappointed. From his personal appearance the Outside is a great place to recuperate from an ardu. ous season on the inland waters of Alaska.

RAMPART NATIVES THOROUGHLY
 AMERICAN IN AIDING WAR WORK
 OF RED CROSS, SAYS TEACHER

having been postponed because the Red Cross was having the Box So cial," of which it was part. post poned to the twenty-third. The lit tie tots entertained a large audi ence with George Washington, Abra- ham Lincoln, Canning the kaiser, and with patriotic songs for over an hour,s after which We listened with pleasure to the town program.
 The baskets of the native and half. breed women were a delight-tley and about six others made by the white ladies netted a handsome re- turn for the Red Cross. It was largely due to the fact that the peo- pie of Indian blood made these nice baskets and followed suit when the white men began to bid so liber. ally that we were able to realize so handsome a sum on the supper.
 The natives here have only be- gun on this work. They are enlisted heart and soul for some service, and with their quick sympathy and ready generosity there is won derful possibility for usefulness be- fore them.
 At the first call from the govern ment, G. w. Gasser, of the Experi- ment Station, and joined our forces to get all the natives to plant gar dens. and to help them see the need of food conservation. We enlisted all the school boys and girls as lit tie soldiers of the commissary, and gardens they planted and cultivated were a joy. They kept their fami- lies in vegetables during the sum- mer and had plentiful supply to store for the winter. No child re- fused to cultivate when I asked, and many were the visits they made when they only wanted to make love to their gardens.
 A number of our native women will now rebuke anything in the line of food that has not the war stamp on it. It was amusing to hear one of the girls who has been making war bread and war cake ask a man who passed her a piece of cake with icing on it if he called that war cake.
 Under the able leadership of two such patriotic women as Mrs Clinic, chairman of the Red Cross, whose work speaks for itself. and of Mrs Gasser, who has food conservation, sale of government bonds, and the relief of war animals as we'll as en- couragement of the Red Cross work on her heart, our natives cannot help but reach up after higher and better things.
 Let us give three cheers for the real Americans of Rampant.

 Government Teacher.

My heart swells with pride in the native and mixed people of this place when I consider how they have rallied to the aid of their govern. ment in it's time of need. AS far as my knowledge of former condi- tions goes, it leads me to believe that this is the first time it has been their privilege to help their country. having been the recipient of help instead, and the way they are responding to the call certainly gladdens the heart of Uncle Sam. Most of them are active members of the Red Cross. several of the ba- bies being s1 members. and l know of none of them who have not help ed in many ways to swell the fund of which we are so proud. One h. dian man, the father of a large family, tells me that he pays his dollar every time we have a dance, since it all goes to the Red Cross now. but that he didn't formerly EVERY time.
 The pictures and stories of starv- ing and naked children touch their hearts. They have made about twen- ty pair of moose.skin moccasins for the little French orphans; are knit ting some little stockings to go with them, and would cheerfully do more if they had the time and material Each family has at least one Red Star member in its midst, for their hearts are likewise touched by the sufferings of the noble Red Cross dogs and the horses and mules that are helping win our war.
 When the long expected yarn came all hands were ready to begin, for had we not been talking knitting the entire winter, and had not our fingers been tingling to be getting into active service? But alas-there were only ten pounds. Out of that consignment the native and half breed women and girls knit one sweater and ten pair of socks in short order and were ready for more yarn. but there was none, the re- mainder having been knit by the other women. We were very proud of the ten pairs of almost perfect socks, and the lovely sweater which was knitted by such young woman.
 Only few of us had known how beautifully the native women here knit, so when the work went on ex- hibition it caused much favorable comment. A number of the old la dies were bitterly disappointed that they did not come in on the knit ting, for that is one way they, too, can have part in the wonderful things that are doing.
 Many were the words of apprecia- ton of the stirring patriotic pro- gram given by the native children on the twenty-third of February, it

Recently the Local Board has had applications from several registrants who desire to enlist in the navy, but the Local Board could not grant permission to enlist unless the regis trant's order number was so low that it would not be included in the current quota. As the Local Board did not know what the current quota was. they wired to Juneau and re- ceived the following telegram from Hunt. executive officer:
 "Heilig. Fairbanks.

LARGE RETURNS
 IN LOAN DRIVE
 MADEB BY WOMEN

Quietly and without blare of trumpets the Third Liberty Loan campaign conducted by the Womans Third Liberty Loan committee has been progressing. Throughout the district the different organizations have been doing their work, and the results attained so far have been gratifying.

 Chatanika, under the direction of Mrs. s. R. Weiss, has turned in s1,000.

All told. roughly. the total amount added to the war fund for the suppression of the Hun is about S1O,O00 for the women's work alone, a performance to be proud of. These returns are by no means complete, and when the drive is ended this amount will be more than doubled. It is requested by Mrs. L. K.
