INDEPENDENT ALASKA

Alaska is slowly but surely near ing state of independence as re- gards food supply. We already have vegetables in abundance, our meat supply is practically inexhaustible, if properly conserved, and the day is not far distant when Alaskans will be able to produce sufficient wheat to fill the flour requirements of the territory
 NJ. D. Snodgrass, who is in charge of the government experiment farm. a short distance up the river from Nenana, reports that 1250 bushels of grain, including wheat, oats and buckwheat, were harvested during the past season, and that within two years, or when the government railroad is completed, the farm will produce sufficient flour for bread for all Interior towns and number of coast towns besides.

THE NEED OF SAVING

Liberty bonds should not be re- sold or marketed. The man or woman who subscribes for a govern ment bond, is not real patriot, in our opinion, if he or she sells the bond on the market immediately after purchase, providing, of course, that stress of finance does not render the transaction necessary.
 We should remember that it is not mere subscription to the bond that helps our government It is the retention Of the bond after pur- chase that helps Americans must save and they must invest in govern ment bonds. It is by actually lend ing money to the government that insures success in time of need not merely promising the loan and then shifting the burden to some one else.
 Our success in the war is beyond question if our resources are prop erly organized and intelligently used. The economic and financial condi- tlon of the country was never like 1t is today and the spirit of the American people was never more aroused to the importance and ne cessity of going forward resolutely. regardless of sacrifices, to the ac- complishment of the great work which we have undertaken in the name of liberty and humanity. And, as people, we must be more and more deeply impressed with the need of economy in the use of food. clothing, fuel and every other arti- cle which constitutes a drain upon the available supplies, materials and resources. Everything wasted is criminal, and the wanton waster is 9 criminal and a traitor.
 The war has hardly started, as far as America is concerned, and the necessity Of saving cannot be too strongly urged. We have under taken the gigantic task of placing a vast army in the field, thousands of miles from home, where they must be well fed, warmly clad and supplied with the necessary muni- tions of war. We must, in addition, continue to supply the, needs of our Allies. Should We fail in either, we cannot hope to succeed.

WHAT ALASkANS EAT

Considering the fact that Alaskans consume annually very large amount of homegrown food, such as game, fish and garden products, the quantity of food stuffs imported from the States each year takes Of huge proportions. Few of Us realize, it is safe to say, to what extent we are drawing upon the Outside markets. Many of us be- lleve, in fact, that our consumption of food, as 2 territory, is of so in considerable an amount as to make conservation n the Northland of small consequence 10 the nation.
 Those. who nerieve that 1t is net -Uo, .a while. in this country. to ecoaonlize in the use of food, that the nations supply may be conserv- cd, do nor know that every man. woman and child resident of tks territory, including natives, con- sumes an average of 142 pounds of sugar annually, nearly twelve pounds per month, three pounds per week. almost half a pound per day. They do not know either, that each white resident uses nearly three cans of milk week ard nearly a pound of imported meat per day And it may surprise them to learn that the per capita consumption of wheat flour per annum Is considerably more than a barrel 78,&72 barrels having been shipped into the territory last year. Another arJic.c which is largely used in Alaska, and which may be snort in the Outside markets next summer. Is butter, of which there was shinDed into Alaska last year 1,797,752 pounds, chiefly for the consumption of white residents. Our per capita consumption of lard per annum is slightly more than fifteen pounds, and we spend nearly eleven thous- and loilars 2 mt h for confections.
 Conditions in aslla are such that it is inadvisable l. attempt to follow the fool saving jules which have D4en adopted thrc ghout the States. We can econonize in the use of lood. but we cannot substitute one food for ano .ner as readily as they are doing III the States. Our diet necessarily must be regulated very
The Nenana news., 1918-01-12

largely by the supplies We now have on hand, with due regard for prob able market conditions later in the year. We should eat sparingly of those things which are short in the States and use more freely those articles which can be obtained local ly, particularly perishables. It is not yet necessary that we should deprive ourselves of the necessaries of life, but we must save, choosing carefully lest we be forced to live, before the war is over, as many are living at present in European countries.

LIST OF REGIS1RAN1S OF NENANA

The following instructions were re- ceived during the week by Chairman Howard P. Curtis, of the local ex- emption board, relative to the vol untary induction into the army of Alaska registrants. The names of the registrants of this district also are printed below, together with their new serial numbers:
 Juneau, Alaska, Jan. g, 1918. Howard P. Curtis, Local Board Number 19, Nenana.
 ''In accordance with ruling Pro- vost Marshal General you are in- structed as follows: 'Inasmuch as no drawings have taken place in Alaska, and no other numbers have been assigned Alaskan registrants, and since communications with local boards in Alaska are now practically impossible, the regulations relating to the voluntary induction into mili- tary service and enlistment, in the navy or marine corps of such regis trants are not applicable. The fol- lowing is, therefore, ordered to be effective until such time only as a drawing takes place in Alaska No person under the jurisdiction of an Alaskan local board will be consid- cred as within the current quota. Any such registrant desiring enlist ment in the navy or marine corps or voluntary induction into military service may apply to any local board for the certificate required by sec tion 151, selective service regula- tions, or for voluntary induction. The local board applied to will re- quire their registrant to exhibit his registration certificate, and if satis- fled that he in fact an Alaskan registrant will require him to file questionaire and will thereafter treat him as one of its own regis trants, except that it will enter on every paper, in every space requir- ing a local stamp the designation of the Alaskan local board, will for ward to the governor of Alaska all papers required to be filed by a local board, together with a letter of transmittal stating that regis trant was inducted into military service or authority to enlist in navy or marine corps, and will not enter the registrant's name on its classification list. Credit for in- duction accomplished under author ity of the telegram will be allowed to the proper Alaskan board. Of course these men are subject to the same restrictions as to induction as other applicants, and no men will be inducted for any corps or depart ment of army for which induction has been stopped by existing orders
 You are further instructed to give this order as much publicity as possible, through your local news papers and otherwise, and to en- courage voluntary enlistment and induction in order to make up the deficiency in our quota in this mat ter if possible.
