$500 FRUIT CAKE FOR RED CROSS
 IN RAFFLES HELD

Nearly $500 has been raised for the Red Cross by the fruit cake W hich was raffled off at various can neries between Sitkoh Bay and Ju- neau during the last season.
 The cake was made by the chef of the Pacific Steamship Company's steamer Spokane for the benefit of the Red Cross organization and was first raffled aboard the boat on one of her trips last Summer. The cake was won by an employee of the George T. Meyers Packing Company. The winner of the cake then turned it over to the Sitkoh Bay cannery to be raffled again for the Red Cross and $105 was raised as result Of the second raffle This was so sue cessful that Walter Ramseyer, super intendent of the cannery, conceived the idea of sending it on to other canneres between there and Juneau, where it was to have been raffled for the last time and divided into pieces to be given to each of the win ners.
 At Killisnoo, the Alaska Fish Salt ing and ByProducts Company raised $54 on the cake.
 The Todd Packing Company made s26.50 for the Red Cross when that concern raffled the delicacy.
 The Tenakee Fisheries Company came out on top with their raffle. They added $4O6.40 to the sum which had already been raised, making a total of $59l90.
 The cake reached Juneau at an in opportune time Because of the in fluenza epidemic it was not possible to raffle the cake and as those who had won it at the other rallies were cannery employees and not in Alaska at present, it was decided to send the fruit cake to the Pioneers Tome at Sitka.

IN THE ORDERLY WAY, PRAY

No better advice has been given to orgahlzeu ,ahor in recent times than that of Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation or Laool' which is to elect a sufficient number of members of Congress to obtain the legislation so much oe- sired by the workers
 This is naught but asking them to remember that they are citizens of a democratic republic governed by elected representatives; that the cardlnal prlh- ciple of that republic is that all within It are equal and none shall enjoy special privileges, ana thaI the final judgment is the will of tl majority Ill fine they are asked do what other elements that go to make up the society of the American people are required to do, i e. to pursue thelr way unuei the rule that this is government of laws and not of men, and that laws are made by maJorltles oi all the people.

If these candidates are chosen it will be generally accepted that their prin- ciples have popular approval and should be trans muted into the law of the land

No receives the interest had any part in fixing it. Our own citizens the bonds, and now with agreeable feeling, cut the oou- pons Many citizens bought bonds until it hurt often making sacrifices and exercising unwonted economy. But how well it pays! If those who re- ceive interest in the months remaining of this year elect they will be paid in war savings stamps in stead of cash, operation by which they obtain compound interest. Now here is a pleasing and in teresting pro5len in mathematics The debtors are also creditors Tho debts also investments Much of the money saved would not have been saved but for the admirable response to the Liberty calls In dealing with this problem, what is the complete answer?
