prices rose from an index of 100 to 244 in period of five years.
 Prices have increased about one-third in the last two years The extreme shakiness of our wal time imitation controls and the serious economic dangers ever present far too little understood by many Americans. The factors for vast and Poten- ally uncomfortable psurge of imitation at hand
 To prevent imitation, and must do three things.
 We must realize that surplus purchasing power must be absorbed through:
 l. More and higher taxes.
 9 More savings, perhaps compulsory.
 8 More investment in the war effort through the purchase of war bonds.
 Obviously, the latter, investment in war bonds, is to be preferred to the first higher taxes, more taxes
 This must be. There are no preferable alterna- lives We must shoulder the burden, carry the cost of this war, or the debt will grow and crush us.
 If not enough bonds are purchased then there will be higher taxes Even if many, many war bonds are sold taxes will probably be higher. But they will not be as high they might be-
 The money is needed right now. You are not going to get your money which you pay in taxes back in hard cash after the war. You will get the money you invest in war bonds back and in hard cash with interest after the war.

DAY vs. NIGHT BOMBING

When Churchill and Roosevelt were in Casablanca, the British Prime Minister had friendly ar gument with U. s. air generals re- garding the feasibility of daylight bombing. Churchill was against 1t, arguing that the British system of night bombing was much safer, did more damage to the enemy.
 However, latest figures just re- ceived by the War Department show that Gen. Ira Baker was right in sticking to day bombing. These figures show that U. s. bombers have knocked out Nazi fighter planes at a rate ten times greater than the British.
 Here are the figures: In July lU. s. airmen destroyed 500 Axis planes, lost 108 bombers of their own. In other words we knocked out five times as many planes as we lost.
 In the same months, the Brit ish knocked out 129 enemy planes but lost 258 of their own. In other words, the British lost two planes for every one they knocked out.

SHOULDER THE BURDEN

The quota set for Juneau and Douglas in the Third War Loan Drive starting September 9, is $250OOO
 It is patriotic to buy bonds But that isn't the only thing to think of when you make an invest ment in the war effort.
 Too few Americans fail to grasp the significance of war bond purchases.
 We are spending for purposes this year SlO0 coo 100000 This is an amount greater than our entire national income in any previous year.
 But not only we spending for war far more than we have ever spent for anything else put to- pether in a like period but are confronted with a serious dsproportion of private income and civilian goods As an outgrowth of war production, individual and corporate income has reached new peak in America. It is greater than ever before
 Yet as converse result of war production, the things available for civilian purchases are fewer in number than when industry and business were in the depths of the depression.
 This is imitation.
 We have of course, experienced nothing even approaching the degree of imitation which gutted Germany after the last when in only two short years wholesale prices increased three trilon times Neither have we had imitation on the scale of our own experience during the last war when wholesale

Brave Name For A Brave Road
(New York Times)

Someone with an exaggerated sense Of proprlety and no ear for music tried to pin the name "Alcan IIghway' to the 1600-me bit of road which the United States has built from Dawson Creek British Columbia across Yukon Territory to Fairbanks. It was quite simple-"Al" for Alaska, can" for Canada and the inventor of the name perhaps thought that the Canadians, who provided the right of way and will take over after the war, would be tlckled pink But nobody was tickled pink. The new thor oughfare was a majestic enterprise. dug through muck and moss carried over wild rivers and moun- tains in the dead of winter opening up much un- developed country, protecting and at the same time bringing within easy reach the continents last rlch frontier It could not carry label that suggested either patent medicine garbage can. Our neghbors to the north have too much poetry ln their souls to wish that. And now they have for maly agreed with us to dgnify it by calling it by it's proper designation.
 The Alaska Highway sounds like what it is. Its syllables like it's rolling miles, have sweep and soar kind of noble lonesomeness the smell of pine and spruce the lift of winds that inspire men to labor endure and hope For a century we have been proud of the undefended border between the United States and Canada Now we be proud of this inter- prise that does not even recognize border and in which both countries have an uncompettive inter est Some day this road will be part of an Alaska Cape Horn Highway, perhaps with hemispheric patriotism bordering it all the way. We hope no one then will wish to call it the "Alcamerican Trail It deserves a better fate.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

THURSDAY, AUGUST l9

:, Benefic aspects dominate today There is a sign presaging satisfac- tory news from the fighting fronts, but there may be loss of shipping.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under the best possible direc- tion of the stars today which should be marked by the use of all energies. It is date lucky for the siening of contracts and most for tunate for weddings. Women de- siring promotions or improvement in employment should make apph- cations today There is a good sign for beginnings of every sort. Girls may find it fortunate for romance, for the stars seem to indicate that young men will be extremely sus- ceptible while this configuration prevails.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merchants and manufacturers continue under fortunate planetary influences which promise good profits. Chem ists and other scientists should benefit greatly this year. Through the goad of war-needs great dis coveries will be made. Human life will be greatly prolonged an q many comforts will be provided for homes. These comforts will surpass all luxuries of the past and will contribute to human well-being, as trologers forecast and they advise far-seeing business men to prepare for novel manufacturing enter prises. lo T. NATIONAL ISSUES: Through planning for peace and forinulat- ing ideas regarding the proper treatment of prominent prisoners of war, the punishment of Hitler. Mussolini and their associates, much benefit will come to the enemies of society confined in American penitentiaries, astrologers predict. Study of the psychology of cruelty, murder and pillage is to be Illuminating and the ends of justice will be seen under n W lights. In other words, leniency as well as severity will be discovered as dangerous to human welfare. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s; Desperation will stiffen Nazi de- fense and even encourage offensive measures. Hidden resources of men and munitions will be brought out i in combating United Nations and every barbaric device will be tried before surrender is compelled. To- day may be especially perilous fol ! our Navy which will be menaced by submarines of extraordinary power Criticism of certain of our policies in pushing the campaign in the Pacific will be encouraged by fiftt columnists.
 Persons whose birthdate it k have the augury of a fortunate year. Advancement in the armed services is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob
 ably will be ambitious, energeti' and successful. They are likely tt be happy. industrious and lovable.

RATION BOARD E
 NOW L0fATED IN
 vALENIINE BLDG.

Reorganization and relocation of the Juneau Ration Board office is announced by the Office of Price Administration. Hereafter the head-l quarters of the board will be located, in Room l5 of the Valentine Build-i ing. The change was made from the City Hall because of the fact that there is insufficient work in rationing alone to maintain a sep rate office, as is necessary in the States. All Alaska towns where there is a district office of the OPA have made or will make the change.
 The new Ration Board includes John A. Martin, who has been with the organization from the begin ming, Ralph Wright, A. B. Cain. and the Rev. Ralph A. Baker. It is hoped to secure the services of T. woman as an addition to the board, and eventually to have six members. The board meets regularly every month, the first for the new group being this week.
 Director Mildred R. Hermann ex- pressed thanks to Mayor Harry I. lucas and Mrs Elmer A. Friend, 'ecently resigned members of the board, for the time they have given o the work, and the conscientious way in which they performed their iuty while on the board. 't

INSIDE EUROPE

Swiss Minister Charles Brugg- mann, brother-in-l of Henry Wallace. is probably the only man in the United States who has re- gently passed through Germany.
 He not only visited Germany, but also France and Spain. In France he found the people downcast ana downhearted. German soldiers on the streets of Paris went out of their way to be polite to the French people. even got off the sidewalks if necessary in deference to a Frenchman. The Germans have played their cards cleverly to try to avoid French resentment.
 In Germany the women wor black. but no smiles. Many Ger mans. Minister Bruggmann founo would rather submit to a British American occupation than one by the Russians. Higher-class Ger mans fear the Russians tremen- dously. On the other hand, 1t l: suspected in some quarters thai certain German groups might make a deal with the Russians to TUT Europe together.
 There is more food in Germany Minister Bruggmann found, thar in France. In Paris he paid S4' for meal for two people, ant not an elaborate meal at that
 Spain is in better shape econo micaIly than at any time in som' years, and seems to have recovered from the effects of it's civil war.

Friday, March 80, 1894.

The rush to the Rainy Lake gold
fields goes merrily on. The trip at
present is still being made over the
ice of the lake but soon boats and
portages will be necessary. The gold
excitement is intense and now gold
has been discovered about five miles
north of Virginia on lands owned by
P. j. Mccain. No doubt some enter
prising gent will also find gold near
this city in the very near future.
There was an exodus of teachers
from here Monday for Duluth to at
tend the convention. No school this
week. Miss Edith Cadieaux, Just
recovered from long illness, arrived

home. j. E. Davey announces
that his barber shop in the Exchange
hotel will shave for 10 cents and cut
hair for 25 cents. +" The interest in
the city election next Tuesday is not
at fever heat. The opposition ticket
failed to materialize. Several indepen-
dent candidates have filed, all as Re
publicans. Among these are P. R.
Vail for mayor, M. o. Aubolee for
municipal judge, and A. j. Homer and
