LOST IK STOi
To be lost in a blinding snowstorm,
with a cold north wind blowing, and
with night falling, was the experience
endured a w'eek ago by Thomas G.
King, Jack Shanks and Fred Petty,
as they were mushing along over the
trail from Fairbanks to Chitina. They
started out from Paxson roadhouse
shortly before noon, mushing along
behind the Northern Commercial
Company stage. The stage was com
pelled to break trail through great
drifts for the greater part of the day.
- When within five miles of Meier’s
roadhouse the rigs were compelled
to turn back because of the amount
of water on the trail. The mushers
decided to continue to the roachouse,
and made the attempt.
The stages turned back about 5
o’clock in the afternoon and arrived
at Paxson’s shortly before 9 o’clock.
Immediately Lloyd Beeket, in charge
of the stage, telephoned to Meier's to
learn if the mushers had reached
, there. The roadhouse man reported
that they had not, and as they were
long overdue he started out in search
of them.
Owing to the heavy storms there
was no sign of a trail on the big lake
over wrhich the men crossed. And
there was no way for them to ascer
tain definitely where the trail'
. lake, over the hillside. For that rea
son grave fears were entertained for
them.
After a search of more than an
hour the roadhouse man, assisted by
another, found the three men. They
were about a mile and a half away
from their destination, but wrere off
the trail. They were, however, mak
ing in the general direction of the
roadhouse.
With the exception of Mr. Shanks
having his face slightly nipped with
the frost, the men were in good con
dition. All three arrived in Cordova
Saturday night, and will leave for the
f Outside within a few days.

Should laugh instead of worry;

LITTLE ECONOMIES.
It is a matter of pride with the av
erage housewife today, because of loy
alty, patriotism and a
wish to take her share
of the burden of war, to
he as saving of all ma
terials, of both food, i
clothing and fuel, as pos- |
sihle.
We cannot do as usual
in any line of work;
business does not go on as usual, we
cannot buy staple foods in large quan
tities as we have done in the past; but
we are all willing without complaint
or fault-fimling to bear our burden of
the inconvenience of this war, be
cause we know that even our little,
multiplied by a hundred million, will
supply the needs of our army and our
allies. Poverty is no disgrace and, if
poor, all the more need to mix brains
with all of the household processes.
The loyal woman who has signed the
food pledge witli the conference and
help of her family will be glad and
willing to study to make those meals
substantial and satisfying if she Is en
couraged by them to do her best. The
constant fault-finding in the home will
make a woman a real martyr if she is
conscientious and determined to keep
her pledge.
Frosted cake should be unseen on
our tables while our people across the
water are starving for sugar. Cake or
candy is too great a luxury these days
to be indulged in at all often. A tea
spoonful of sugar a day saved of each
person’s supply would furnish pienty
of sugar to keep our soldier boys hap
py and well fed. We are prone to for
get that our little, multiplied by one
hundred million, makes an amazing
amount. We are not accustomed to
think in millions.
Bread Crumb Biscuit.—Soak a quart
of bread crumbs in a quart of milk
three hours. Add a half cupful of melt
ed shortening and enough flour with
two teaspooufuls of baking powder to
make a drop batter; add a teaspoon
ful of salt and a teaspoonful of sugar
and two well-beaten eggs. Drop in
weli-greased gem pans and bake in a
hot oven.
