Before you buy that just ask your
self this question: “Do I need this
thing as much as some of the men
fighting for me need other things in
the trenches?”
Of course you don’t need it! It’s
not going to hurt you one bit to do
without it. On the contrary, it is go
ing to be vastly to your advantage to
save that quarter, or half dollar, and
invest it—in War Savings Stamps.
Besides, your saving is going to play
a part in the salvation of the world.
Ponder that! If men are willing to
die—if men are dying to save you and
yours from a regime of hell—surely
it’s up to you to get alopg without the
things you don’t need to have.
Certainly you are going to save—
save every cent you can and buy and
keep on buying War Savings Stamps.

LABOR IN ALASKA 5
v —
The Associated Press, under a Se
attle date, recently qent out the fol
lowing news dispatch:
Alaska is appealing to the states for
help. So many of the men have left
the northern territory to answer to
the call of war and the lure of the
higher wages on the outside that its
mines, fisheries and other industries
■will be crippled, territorial officials
assert, if others do not go north at
once to take their places.
"Out of a white population of 50,000
‘over 6,000 have left to enter the war
•work and service,” Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
governor of Alaska, asserted in a proc
lamation recently. “At the same time
the mines, fisheries and airplane
spruce industries are asked to speed
up. To speed up we must have more
men.”
Governor Riggs said that 500 men
were needed at once in Juneau mines
and fisheries and 500 more in the
fish canneries of southwestern Alaska
an<1 other sections.
“Juneau is dying for want of men,”
Bart L. Thane, of the Alaska Gastineau
mning corporation of Juneau asserted
here recently. Mr. Thane has been
successful in his efforts to induce a
number of University of Washington
students to spend their vacations at
work in the North
From southwestern Alaska, where
the United States government is now
building the Seward-Anfhorage-Fair
banks railroad, the same call has
come. “There is immediate need of
additional workers,” read a dispatch
from Anchorage recently.
“Throughout the summer and the
early fall the demand for workers will
exceed the supply in Seward and An
chorage,” Fred Lillyman, superinten
dent of the employment bureau of
the Alaska engineering commission
asserted reconty.
Reduced passenger faros north, and
steady employment with good wages
are offered to men who go north
Governor Riggs, in his proclamation
said miners doing contract work could
make trom $5 to $14 per day. Th<
engineering commission pays railroad
laborer* $4 per day.
The Alaska territorial govornmen
has opened a labor agency here ii
Seattle In the hope that it will b<
able to send workers north.
Once the war is over, Alaska hopei
to see an influx of returned soldiers
Plane are being made now to indue*
soldiers to go north and take up som*
land.

by what they believe to be the best

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed the
BANK OF ALASKA
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. The
BANK OF ALASKA was launched purely as a bank, and without the
support of other interests than the business that comes to 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, j
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 final 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.
