l ZZ A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
THIS COMING YEAR WILL BE A YEAR OF SACRIFICES. WE ALL SHOULD AND
WILL PATRIOTICALLY GIVE ALL THE GOVERNMENT WILL ASK FROM US.
BUT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS WE MUST NOW, MORE THAN EVER BE
FORE, ELIMINATE WASTE AND INCREASE OUR SAVINGS. IN OTHER WORDS
WE MUST CONSISTENTLY SPEND LESS THAN WE EARN. THEREFORE LET
US SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION:
“THIS MONTH I WILL FORM THE GOOD HABIT OF SAVING; I WILL OPEN A
SAVINGS ACCOUNT AND WILL DEPOSIT SO MUCH OUT OF EACH PAY CHECK IN- f
TO THIS ACCOUNT.” _
REMEMBER, WE WILL PAY YOU INTEREST COMPOUNDED TWICE A YEAR

During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1917, there was a*so shipped from '
countries to the Territory a consider- j
able amount of meat, sugar, wheat, j
hogs and cattle, approximately $132,
000 worth.
Now, with these enormous amounts j
of wheat, meat, sugar coming into;
the Territory, whose aggregate pop- J
ulation today is not in excess of 60,-|”
000, it may readily be seen what a 1
great saving can be accomplished by P
l Alaskans if economy is practiced and
wheat and meat eliminated from cer- 1
tain meals. The figures are astound- 11
ing. 1
Think of 8,619,972 pounds of su- 8
gar coming into the Territory dur-(
ing the twelve months ended June t
, 30, 1917—an average of over 143 d
j pounds per person, per annum, for i:
j the entire population of Maska, near- v
I,
i 12 pounds per month or three
Dunds per week. How easily we can
.it down on our sugar allowance and
ius make it possible to send our al
es what they need. We must do
lis as we have promised to grub
take this war.
In like proportion can we save on
tie meat and wheat? Alaska is iu
eed to be an important factor in aid
lg the government to conserve the
orld's food stuffs, as nearly all com
modities along the food lines are ship
ped into the Territory from the Out-1
side.

The above figures of importations
into the Territory were furnished the
federal food administrator by the Ju
neau customs office. Judge Royal aJ

administrator for Alaska is compiling
