Reservoirs which furnish water to
Cordova are now filled with water,
and the famine which has theatened
has been averted, at least for the pres
ent. The pressure was turned on all
day today, and unless something un
foreseen should happen it is probable
that there will be plenty of water for
the rest of the spring—and then some.

“INRITE-TO-SOLDIEI”
m IS BIG SUCCESS
EL CENTRO, Cal, April 19.—“Write
to Soldiers day” is a new occasion to
be generally observed here at fre
quent intervals in the future. The
idea of the day, which originated with
a local newspaper, is simply that on
a designated date each person in the
community will write to some soldier
or sailor acquaintance.
The first “Write to Soldiers” day
was observed March 21, and brought
many hundreds of letters into the lo
cal postoffice for the men with the
colors. It was so successful that its
sponsors declared they would make
it a frequent occasion, and would help
to spread the idea through other parts
of the country.

Prepared to handle its business on
a larger scale than ever before, the
Lighthouse Cannery Company will
start operations tomorrow, it was an
nounced today by A. S. Foster, super
intendent of the Cordova plant. The
company has just completed the con
struction of a new building on the
City dock, 70 by 40 feet, so that the
plant now has a floor space twice as
large as a year ago.
Although the company intended to
have the machinery moved into the
new building and use the old one as
a warehouse, the plans were reversed,
owing to the fact that the manage
ment wishes to start operations at
once.
During the 1917 season the Light
house Canning Company put up ap
proximately 30,000 cases of clams, and
this year the output will be about the
same, in all probability.
Seventy-five men and women will
be employed throughout the season,
adding materially to the payroll of
Cordova.
The Lighthouse Cannery Company
was formerly located at Astoria, Ore.,
but its complete plant has been moved
to Cordova, where the work will be
carried on for some years. F. A.
Fisher, secretary and treasurer of the
company, will be in Cordova this year
also, in charge of the office end of
the business.

Here is the text of a Government War Loan poster
of 55 years ago.
H| v ^ ou have a solemn duty to perform p
to your government and to posterity!
Our gallant Army and Navy must be supported by every man
and woman who have any means, large or small, at their con
trol. The United States government, to which we owe our pros
perity as a nation, security of person and property of every sort,
calls on each individual to rally to its support—not with dona
tions or gifts—though who could withhold them—BUT WITH
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO HER LOANS, based on the best secur
ity in the world.
Your nearest patriotic Bank or Banker will
| supply this loan, on which so much depends. p
