March 11th To March 16th
The Knights of Columbus have established and are establishing recrea
tion centers in the military camps in this country and France. These centers
are life-savers for the soldiers. They not only rest and restore them phys
ically, but they are a boon to them mentally. They are home to the home
sick and medicine to the worn out. The camps couldn’t get along without
them. Creed is forgotten; religious lines are wiped out in this work. Protest
t ants are as welcome as Catholics. No man is asked what he believes or
\ whether he believes. It's just: “What do you need?”
V Every Cordovan who gives to this fund is contributing to the comfort of
i the soldiers*
Don’t wait to be asked to give. It is your duty to see that your dollars
get into the fund If you have given already, give again—give until it hurts.
I You will never have an opportunity to put your dollars to a better use.

cers of Every ‘’antoiiociit, ty tne Press of the Country, by

JOHN BARRETT TELLS
“With the country facing an oil and
coal shortage for the coming year,
crude oil at Katalla, after gasoline
has been extracted from it, is allowed
to run waste into the sea, because of
the conservation regulations which
have tied up the resources of Alaska."
said John Barrett, the townsite owner,
miner and property owner of Me
Carthy, Alaska, while in Juneau re
cently.
“There is but one patented claim
there," he continued, “which was lo
cated and improved before the conser
vation craze hit Alaska, and today
from this claim is being manufactured
a high grade gasoline which is sold to
dealers to the westward.
“What the government ought to do
as a war emergency measure is to
place drilling machinery in the Ka
talla oil fields and develop the oil
fields there and make use of it, or
else make the terms liberal enough
for capital to take hold at once. Fuel
oil is needed now to help win the war.
If we run short of coal and oil and
lose the war thereby the Alaska coal
and oil fields will not be worth .10
cents • to any future generation of
Americans, but will be handed out as
a contribution to German militarism.
“The government needs all the boat
tonnage, it needs all of thA rail car
rying capacity and other means which
are now being used to bring coal and
oil to Alaska, instead of allowing Alas
kans to mine their own coal and de
velop their oil and thus save the ton
nage and furnish a necessary war
material. Now is the time to act. To
I morrow it may be too late.”
