ALASKAN MAJOR SENDS
 MESSAGE THAT ENDS WAR


 MESSAGE THAT ENDS WAR : !Alaskans not went over the top in the recen war campaigns hundreds went to the front to fight but it remained for an Alaskan to actually sent the famous message that the armistice with Germany had been signed and all hostilities should ecase.
 :: The Alaskan who ended the war on November II, 1918, was George D. Beaumont, now major, who was prior to the opening of hostilities with German, assistant superintendent of telegraph for the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission, with headquart- CTS at Anchorage. Major Beaumont is uow in Seattle where he is located.
 The story of the sending of the great message, previous and after history of Major Beaumont, is con tained in a recent Seattle Times. Major Beaumont received the verbal message at the time of receiving the written message, to Shoot it, she's over" The Major said he had sent many messages during his thirty years at the key but when he sat down to shoot that special one, he would not have cared to have had any other key pounders and see him The copy of the original message is framed and hangs in Major Beau montS bedroom, at his home, 76S Bellevue avenue, Seattle.
 Major Beaumont, at the time of sending the message ending the war. was a captain in the capacity of telegraph officer for the First Army under command of Lieut.. Gen. Hunt CT Ligget with headquarters at Souilly, France, personally dispatched the fateful message which was brought to him by messenger from Gen. Ligget's office at 7:25 o'clock on the morning of November 11th, 1918, and which ended the war for some 500.000 American soldiers of the historic First Army.
 At the same time similar messages were being dispatched to the Second Army. in the St. Mihiel sector, to the chief of the air service. artillery and staff departments and to all bases comprising the remainder of 2,0Oo, ,0OO American soldiers in France.

F, It was an experiment and it surely was making good. Several times the fact that it was on wheels was all that saved it from destruc- tion.
 "I took that crew who were with me at Headquarters, away from Mai. L. W. Noes, another Seattle man in the telegraph service. He's here in town now with the Western Union. They were a fine bunch of boys. The morning of Nov, 11th. every one of us was tired out.

 The fourth day of the Chi nook. Old Marathon moun- tain's white coat is commenc ing to show signs of wear ! from the continual washing of the rain. The streets are fast losing their covering of STOW and ice and the side walks on tha main street are practically clean. Bob Guest, Stewards efficient Fire Chief has been helping old Mother Nature along in her work by flushing the cul- verts and loosening the ice that obstructs the passage of the water. He was out early this morning with hose and shovel. Across the glacier stream the board walk that runs far out into the suburbs of the town is commencing to peak through. One has to be an acrobat of the highest class to be able to navigate on this board walk. Peaks, ridges, canyons and glaciers strew the path way. Another week of this weather and the farmers will be able to blow. 1 Only four more days left to do your Christmas shop ping.
 Old Santa Claus paid an early visit to the Borgen store yesterday and during the time he was there he did some nifty decorating. The good things to eat for Christ mas and New Years become more tempting in their new surroundings. The Christ mas Tree in Ellsworth's store looms up big during the night hours. In Smithy's Bakery shop is a gigantic Christmas cake and pounds and pounds of wonderful fruit cake fill the drawers ] ibehind the counter. A Christ mas tree decorates each of the supports in front of Brown and Hawkins Store. Christmas will be with us in a few days and shortly after the New Year. On New Years eve the A. B. Hall will be crowded with merry makers. Fantastic and gorgeous costumes will !; be seen. The masquerade ball, to be given by the Seward Fire Department will be in. full swing. If you like to dance to the merry strains. of a fox trot or the more soothing music of a waltz, 1 you, can do so to your hearts content on New Years eve. This will be a gala occasion. Do not miss it. Mingle with the merry makers on that night and let the get-to- gether- spirit which will pre- vail be one of your New Years resolutions. s,' 5, WATER COLOR ARRANGEMENTS OF ALASKA VIEWS AT sYLvIA's.

The s. s. Victoria which is due in Seward within the next few days is carrying hundreds of tons of freight and many sacks of mail for Seward. Evidently the ex- plosion which occurred on the Victoria a few days prior to her sailing from Seattle did not damage her enough to prevent her coming north. We predict a wonderfully busy time for Post master Root when she does arrive, cause the Christmas pack ages will probably fill the Post Office.

"How to buy, when to buy, when
not to buy save food, but encourage
business
With this as his guide, A. L. Mar
latt, director Of course in economics
at the University Of Wisconsin, has
compiled the procedure to cut the high
cost of living, and his outline has been
sent to every woman's organization in
the Seventh Federal Reserve District

ton in connection with the three
months campaign Of the women in

vestment in government securities.

points where material is made; by
parcel post in municipal market.
2. Through wholesaler; cooperative
buying (NOT for boarding, but reason
able use) seasonable buying (con-
tracts for future delivery insure reas-
enable prices for producer and buyer).
8. Through retailer: cash and carry
stores. 5 per cent off for cash. 10 per
cent off for cash and delivery. Buy in
amounts so that dealer can cut prices
for you. Pay cash or pay before the
tenth of the month ESQ dealer can Sc
cure discounts).
WHEN TO BUY:
(Raise all the food you CAM
l. After study as to needs for week,
month, season or year. Order once
a week or order twice a week.

To amend sections and of article VII of the
constitution of the state of Wisconsin, relat-
ing to circuit judges.
Whereas, At the biennial session of the legis

majority of the members elected to each of
the two houses, which proposed amendment is
as follows:

A rubber plant should be washed
with milk once or twice month. This
will keep the leaves glossy and hand
some.
Save the discarded toOth-brushes
and old underwear for cleaning and
polishing silver. A clean, dry brush is
the best kind of a cleaner to brush the
whiting from chased silver. Use the
soft underwear for the hard rubbing,
and finish the polishing with cham
ois skin.
If silver is rubbed after soapy bath
with a channels skin, once week, the
hard cleaning will not need to be done
so often.
The French way of making tough
meat tender is one worth remember
ing: Lay the steak in marinade of
three tablespoonfuls Of olive oil and
enc and one-half Of vinegar; let stand
lour hours on ice, turning frequently
to be sure that both sides are treated
then broil as usual.
When cooking a pudding either by
steam or In boiling water, take care
to replenish the water by boiling water,
or the pudding will fall or be soggy.
A cut lemon dipped In salt or bath
brick makes fine cleaner for copper
or brass. It is also good to remove
stains from the coffee and tea pots.
A nice laundry bag may be made OF
two bordered towels, using draw
string at the top. For holding scraps
and pieces, a circular bag, which may
be laid out fiat on the floor will be
found convenient, as then any bundle
can be quickly found.
A good tonic which may be brewed
at home is sassafraS tea. This is an
old remedy used by our grandmothers,
and one which is perfectly reliable.
Steep small handful of sassafras
root by covering with quart Of boil
ing water. Strain and drink half a
cupful night and morning. 1t purifes
the blood and acts as tonic.

Pan cloth and the like-make them,
and they are simply trimmed with
needle work. Small variation in the
details of cutting and obstruction
make the new garments interesting. An
example of this appears in the little
girls dress. The short waist is ex-
tended at each side into square tabs,
the neck is square and finished with
stitches in mercerized cotton floss,
and the short sleeves repeat the tabs
by using them as finish to the turned
back cuff.
The romper suit in one piece for a
little boy is frightened and well finish

sters both wear short sox; the boy a

WTT HEN summer comes and little
w folks make their short, daily
voyages Of discovery into the big world
about them, they will discover a num-
Der of things besides kittens and cook
les. There will be the new clothes that
are all ready for spring time, made to
be cool and comfortable, and to stand
wear and washing. These are in prep
aration now.
Every year the responsibility grows
less, because so much reliance may
be placed on ready-made garments for
children of all ages. There is some
economy of money in making the
clothes at home, where the item of
labor is not figured in the cost of pro-
ducing them. Even when the sewing
is undertaken at home, the response
bility of designing need not be as
sumed One cannot do better than to
pattern the dresses, rompers and other
things, after the garments that manu-
facturers of children's clothes turn
out. They are all ready to be put on
display Immediately after Christmas.

ing to find themselves next summer

looking clothes as those pictured
