MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1918.
FIRST IN THE FIELD.
The first man to enter the prlmar
ies for nomination as a member ol
the territorial legislature from the
Third division to be elected this fall is
Henry A. Slater, of Cordova.
Mr. Slater will make the race foi
nomination on the Republican ticket
He has been an adherent to the prin
ciplos of that party for years, but this
is the first time he ever has allowed
his name to come before the people for
election to any office other than a
member of the city council of Cor
dova. to which office he has been
elected repeatedly.
The entry of Mr. Slater in the race
is a matter upon which the people of
Alaska are to he congratulated. Mr.
Slater is a man of sterling worth. A
keen business man of large experience
and a man who can meet, all men face
to face on an equal footing, he will
prove of inestimable value to the ter
ritory in the legislature.
Henry Slater has been in Alaska
for years. He has resided in Cordova
since the foundation of that city and
has been a factor in its growth. His
friends in Cordova are limited only by
the population of the city, every man,
woman and child in the city being glad
■to claim him as a friend.
Without hesitation the Times ten
ders Mr. Sinter its support, feeling
that when men of his standing ahd
character offer their services to the
people they are entitled to the sup
port of the entire population, regard
less of political lines.—Anchorage
JBallv Times.
THE BEST CUSTOMER.
Which kind of customer would yon
prefer to hare. Mr. Merchant—
The man who, as soon as he gets a
dollar, rushes into your store and
| spends It for something, whether he
needs it or not, and then, when he is
1 )Ut of work, hasn’t a cent to his name
and conies around begging you for
! credit?
Or— v
The man who, while earning money,
’ spends a little less than he makes, sav
ing something for a rainy day, and al
, ways has something laid by to tide
I him over periods of adversity?
1 Which kind of man makes the best
customer in the long run? Which do
j you lose the most money on, the care
| ful savers or the quick spenders?
J Every man, woman or child who in
j vests in United States War Savings
Stamps automatically steps from the
' ranks of hasty spenders to those of
savers. Every dollar saved is invested
in the world's best security, drawing
good interest. Every stamp bought
can be cashed at the postoffice, at
full face value, with interest added, in
time of need. People who own these
stamps won’t be coming around to you
Mr. Merchant, the next time crops are
bad or times are slack, begging for
long credit They will have money of
their own.
Sell War Savings and Thrift Stamps
in your store. Boost for them all the
time and everywhere. They are mak
ing safe, responsible customers for you
all the time.
-«
GIVE EACH CHILD SOMETHING
| TO DO.
Here is a suggestion for a saving
plan for the household—one which is
tangible and easy to follow. Let par
ents organize their tots into home War
Savings Groups so that the children
can earn their pennies and not have
them donated to them—by keeping
their rooms in order, doing the dishes,
running errands, dusting, etc.
By earning their pennies in some
definite and regular manner and then
purchasing Thrift Stamps with them, ;
children will gain in the spirit of self- \
denial, they will become conscious of ;
rendering a real service to their gov- 1
eminent and the habit of Thrift, thus I
formed will prove helpful to them as I
long as they live.
