ALASKA BEHIND
 ITS QUOTA FOR
 SAVING STAMPS s

According to reports from San Fran cisco hcadq .Tt"rs, Alaska, with 2S9 percent of it's allotted quota of wal say |ings Slaunp5 subscriptions holds third place in the Twelfth Federal Reserve district Hawaii is m first place with 3G.4 percent and oregon came second with 30.7 percent. These figure represent the standing it the end of the the month of July.
 The entire district at the end of July was short $34 ,S35, 892 of it's War Savings Stamps quota of $4l, 263,20O for 1919 according to a report of the Federal Reserve bank of San Fran cisco. This means" said Robert E. smith director of the War Loan Or ganl2atiOn for the district that every man, woman and child of the 6,OOO 900 population in the district must buy at least one War Savings Stamp by the end of the year. Of course d large proportion of the population have not yet been educated up 10 the lmpera- tie necessity of thrift Consequently lrar who have and those who are intclA1unt enough to see the light must invest heavily in War Savings Stamps for the rest of the year in order to make up the deficit

The figures given by the Insurance Press bring down only to the end of 1918 the com muted value of insurance claims awarded by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, total at that time of $l927lO,OOO. By the first of June the figure had risen to 90,2OO,OOO and now it is probably in excess of $1 ,OOO- OOO,OOO'
 Without dissenting voice life insurance companies and life insurance agents have urg- ed soldiers and sailors to retain the govern ment insurance, and they have used every means within their power to COnteraCt the naturally large proportion of lapse since the war ended
 During the war government insurance was quite an automatic affair and, undoubted- ly, many of the soldiers and sailors did not understand the lberality of the government s insurance propositions. Within moderate limits the government offering them insur- ance at cost, paying out of it's treasury all ex- penses of administration.
 Organizations are being perfected in all parts ot the country to renState, on generous terms, the government policies that have lapsed.
 A "Keep Up Your Policy" campaign is in progress for the benefit of discharged soldiers and sailors and tens of thousands of life in SuranCe agents have enlisted as 'votunteers' to do everything in their power to assist the men to keep their present government policies i'll force or to convert them to optional forms of government insurance.

effects of the war, the United States will b, depended upon to make up largely the dcllci ency in the supple, of created wealth. Tn, United States must greatly produce agricul- turaIly, lndustrially, and in every other way. Strikes and lockouts, by slowing up produc- ton, merely retard and hinder the solution oi the very human problem of attaining com fort Wealth must be produced in the mass and individual production must be stimulated and increased. The speed with which the world returns to normal economic conditions will depend very largely on unit production that is, the quantity ot wealth produced daih by the average worker.

NO SHAME IN THRIFT.
Seattle Times ]

When mother prepared the dainty con lection for her hungry family she did not follow any hard-and-ta>t recipe set down on printed page, but supplied the ingredients as her Iong.trained judgment dictated The same procedure held good i'll all of the actiy- ties of the home life, whether in preparing food for the table or the ordering of affairs for the comfort of the family
 The later generation of mothers s faced very generally with different conditions. Mother probably had maid The maids now are busy i'll other lines of endcavor, and the young housewife of today has to use her brains and the experience she may gain from the example of others to keep the wheels of the home establishment i'll good running order
 In the days gone by the waste of good food from an OVerstOck Iarder or the plentiful supplied table was looked upon as one of the incidents of housekeeping Things have changed in this regard. The war brot its stern lesson, when the government took charge of commodities and doIed them out with sparing hands. The lesson was hard one for some, but nevertheless an excellent one
 There is danger that many, iu these days when the pay envelope is coming home rcQuI- ary with its comfortable filling, will forget There Is danger of an easy subsistence to old WastetuI habits, with good food carried away by the city employees i'll the great carts along with the other material Ie@itimateIy discard ed And this in spite of the increased price paid for the necessities of life
 There is no shame i'll thrift Citizens of the United States can well take example from the age wisdom of European countries in this regard. The state of the housewives $ purse should make no difference i'll the guard ing against waste. In these days when 50 much time and attention are given tO house. hold problems by trained and educated men and women 1t should not be difficult for q housewife to obtain information to enable her to order her affairs SO as to make good use of all material purchased for the household.
 To the thrifty soul 1t is gratifying to see the manner i'll which the modern educated woman takes hold of the new problems that come up under the changed conditions 1t Is to be devoutly hoped for that the same thrift will generally prevail and that good food will not be purchased only to be improperly and Wastcfully handled.

TRAIL, SHOULD BE KEPT OPEN

The decision of the post office depart- ment to route the Iditarod winter mail via Cordova and Fairbanks instead of Anchor age, means the abandonment of the Iditarod winter trail, which is a matter of direct con cern to the people of Anchorage
 No reasons for the change i'll routing the mail are advanced. By sending it via Cor dova and Fairbanks the distance it travels is increased several hundred miles and the time it will be in transit will be heightened by at least week.
 The abandonment of the IditarOdSeWard mail trail means that the winter travel from the interior camp, which in past years has been considerable will cease, as without the regular operation of the mail teams, the trail in all probability will become impossible after the first heavy snow This will mean not only a loss to the merchants of Anchorage, but will work a hardship on the people of Iditarod, who instead of coming out over the comparatively short and inexpensive trail to Anchorage will be forced to follow the mail route up the Yukon river and thence to Fair banks, which not only Is equally as difficult but also is several times as long and much more expensive
 It appears to The Times that this matter is something which should receive the imme- diate attention of the chamber of commerce and such steps taken which will, if possible prevent the abandonment of the SeWard- Iditarod trail-Anchorag Times.
 By all means Brother Heron look into the matter and quickly, or else it will be toe late for the present season. But if a sugges- tion is in order, it might not be a bad idea to ascertain from the people ill the district affected just how they feel about the proposed change. They are the ones to be considered and not the merchants at Anchorage.
 It has come to our notice that, on account of poor trails, heavy snowfall, bum boat ser vice and the like the mail service over the Iditarod- Seward trail during the past few winter has been abominable Several prOmi- nent residents of the Iditarod region are on record as saying that under the proposed sys tenn despite that difference in mileage, they are in favor of the new arrangement since they are positive that they will be able to get their mail with more regularity and in less time than heretofore possible
 If the change suits the Iditarod people, as IS indicated, surely no one else need be Wor ried. And if they don't like the change, Anchorage will find Fairbanks ready to back up any effort it chooses to make to get the matter fixed up to suit Iditarod.

THE ROAD TO NORMAL, PRICES
Chicago News.)

War and economics do not harmonlze. War results in economic waste War IS econ omic waste It shoots wealth into the air. It burns up wealth for normal purposes, is diverted and slackened. So in the great war lately ended, the greatest in the WOrld's $ history, it must. be clear that the economic waste was enormous, so great as to be al most incomprehensible
 Herein lies the fundamental cause of the present high cost of living. For more than four years the world engaged in destroying created values. In order to produce suffici- ently for that purpose it neglected to produce in sufficient quantities the commodities re- quired for normal economic life. Hence in this period succeeding war there is general scarcity of such commodities. This scarcity must be replaced by a surplus of food and wearing apparel and other daily necessities before prices can be expected to return to normal levels. This is merely another way of demonstrating the eternal applicability of the economic law of supply and demand.
 The lesson of the situation is production at capacity rates Until the producing nations of Europe have recovered somewhat from the

Christmas In the Schools.

The spirit of the season held sway
in the public schools Of the city the
past week when the Christmas festi-
val was observed in individual ways
by the different schools which were
appropriately decorated for the oc-
casion. Some very unique and at
tractive programs were carried out,
all of them emphasizing and inculcat-
ing the injunction, "Tis more blessed
to give than TO receive
The programs at Franklin were re-
serving of especial mention because
of their elaborateness and perfection
of detail. There were five Christmas
trees and fish pond in the grammer
school and primary departments.
Christmas songs were sung, Christ
mas stories told, Christmas customs
of other lands compared, and recita-
tions interspersed with the distribu-
tion of gifts, and in one rooma Red
Cross Santa Claus appeared to dis
pense the spirit of goodwill and hap
piness.
At the Barrow the pupils have been
busy throughout the week with kind
ergarten work which was correlated
with the regular study course, that
tiny hands might fashion their own
gifts for loved ones at home. Their
programs were carried out with two
Christmas trees, one from which their
gifts were distributed, the other
around which their Christmas carols
were sung and stories told.
