A QUICK VICTORY
The present food problem in a nut
shell is a matter of ships. The al-J
sor»'s from across the sea. There
seem to be several markets upon
which they could draw: Australia,
South America, the United States and
('anada.
• \Vhv then.'' complain flic unthink
ing. “ask I he people of the United
Stales and Canada to upset their eat
ing habits of years, to scrimp and
sa\>', if Australia's wharves are loaded
with food stores waiting to he trails
ported to the war-ridden territories?
This is the answer:
It takes a ship three times as long
to carry food from Australia and
twj e as long from South American
ports, to say nothing of added expo
sure to (ho dangers of the submarine.
Th north Atlantic lane is safer and
shorter. ^__
From North America, In the time
it takes to go from Buenos Aires to
Ixindon. the same ship could take a
cargo of food across, come back, and
take a load of soldiers and munitions
over.
The old adage of a “penny saved is a
penny earned" is true of ships, as
well as of money America Is speeding
up her shipbuilding with all possible
haste But meantime, if wo make one
ship do the work of two, we have
doubled our chance of victory.
Every ship we build is needed to re
place one that has been lost or in
crease our army at the front. So it
behooves us to save ships as well at
to build them
Every particle of food, therefore
that can possibly be spared must b«
sent from America with the inarglna
amount drawn from the more remoti
places. If next year we could pro
vide the whole of the allied foot
necessities wc would savo hundred
ot thousands of tons of shipping.
Saving food means saving ships
Saving ships means more soldiers,
I more guns, and more food over there
| And these mean a quicker victory.

OUR MEN OF 21
Mothers and fathers of America,
you are doing well. You are lilting
the cup of patriotic devotion to its
full measure, anil the proud light in
your eyes as you sons go forth to
: battle tells tile sweetest story born
of this great world tragedy How
well you remember the day lie was
born and tin- usual argument as to
what name should be given him at
the christening. You remember his
first faint smile and which of you
claimed the honor of provoking it
Why in your span of years it was only
yesterday you found his first tooth
and bulletined the fact to the whole
family. No doubt his little rompers
and toy pistol are still stored away
in the warder that mothers keep us
a shrine to happy days, lie stood one
day on wabbly limbs, with his sturdy
back to the wall, and took two steps
before he fell into daddy's out
stretched arms lie had the measles,
the mumps, and the chickenpox, and
you worried and fretted and petted
him through until other relatives said
he was a badly spoiled boy. Once he
fell out of the haymow and broke his
collar bone, and all the rest of the
gang were jealous of him because he
carried his arm in a sling and was
patronized by everybody. Later on
lie threw a curve through I’routy's
plate glass window, and father had
quite a task setting things right, for
j old I’rout.v could not see the neees
j sity of raising so many boys in the
1 neighborhood
And my word I how fast he grew
j into a big aw kward boy who was tak
| ing on all the airs of a man and giv
ing opinions on current events with
a tine air of finality. Then you dis
covered he had a case with Mary
1’aige and he discussed the numerous
instances of men who had married
young and made good Mary was a
fine girl, but the affair worried you.
just as if worried Mary's folks, for
lioth of you had ambitions for the
youngsters Wisdom prevailed and
they decided to wait until Jack had
won his laurels, w , . -
And now, brave mothers and fathers
of America, the great opportunity has
come, and you are sending him
across tut’ seas to give tne me inai
you gave him, If necessary, that the
women ami children of the civilized
-word may be protected against the
rapers ami child murderers, the bar
barian Huns. You had a different ca
reer laid out for him, but never in
all history were young men called on
a holier, more noble mission June
ItilS. v ill go down In history as a
day when Americanism rose to its
highest plane. Our men of L’l are
the flower of our voting manhood.
Bound up in them are all the ideals
that flourish in the springtime of life
and all the chivalrous courage that
lifts unconquerable souls. The dis
illusionments of the world have left
them unscathed.they believe in ;
themselves and the cause.
Your pride in them today is justi
fied. and w hen the final chapter is j
written and the beast of Berlin has
been properly punished for his reign
of crime there w ill be no brighter page
in that history titan the one devoted j
to our men of 21.
COL.JACKSON HONORED
FOR THF THIRD TIME
LONDON. July f>.-Colonel Arnold
Jackson, who has just been awarded
the distinguished service order for the
third time, will he remembered in the
United States as A. N S. Jackson, an
Oxford athlete, who won the 1500
meter race In the Olympic games at
Stockholm in 11U2. In the spring be
j fore the war lie visited the United
States with a combined Oxford and
Cambridge athletic team
The announcement of his latest mili
tary decoration in the official gazette
j says:
"His battalion was subjected all day
| to an intense bombardment, which
caused many casualties. Owing to his
powers of command and the spirit he
inspired in his men the attack was

II FEW REMINDERS TO
THE WOMEN OF CORDOVA
Knitters must get to work at top
| speed on soeks and sweaters. An al
! lotment given us of 355 pairs of socks
j and 50 sweaters, to be made by Sep
tember. has been accepted. We have
j wool for socks on hand, and wool for
I both socks and sweaters wdll be here
! on the next boat Our allotment of
| surgical dressings is on the way, and
; the one for sewing is duo.
This is a large knitting allotment
I for the number of women who are
doing this part of the work. More
women must come forward and help.
You say you are doing all you can.
Hut are you? 1 believe the most of
us understand why we must work.
You do and I do. Hut maybe you have
a neighbor who does not understand.
If so. impress upon that neighbor the
necessity of this work.
We must sew and knit and make
surgical dressings, and we must not
complain. We must put aside pleas
ures and work for America.
How would you like to have some
agent of efficiency come after you
with a club and show you what serv
ice actually means? And what would
be the thoughts of our Cordova boys,
standing In muddy trenches "over
there," with hell all about them, know
ing that the women back there in
their far-away Alaskan homes were
not doing their bit? ,

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed the
BANK
With tne Aim that Its Growth Will Give
the Name Full Significance
Practically all the territorial banks in Alaska had their origin in
a mercantile business, and were the outgrowth of a condition. Tho
BANK OF ALASKA was launched purely as a bank, and without the
support of other interests than the business that comes ts It In the
regular channels.
The trend of American banking legislation Is toward branch bank
ing systems. The pioneer in this territory is the BANK OF ALASKA,
which is the first and so far the only branch system.
Complying with the laws and regulations governing the Institu
tion, from the combined paid-in capital there Is apportioned to each
branch sufficient capital to cover the legal requlremnt of an Inde
pendent bank. Each branch makes full Individual report to the bank
Ing board. Each must show how It is progressing Individually.
In the Anal analysis the strength and Justification of the system Is
apparent, for each branch has the full strength of the entire system
back of It.
The system is backed by very able men. and furnishes all the ad
vantages of a metropolitan bank, having the facilities of checking ac
counts, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, travelers' checks and
safe deposit boxes. Your account is solicited.
