CLEAN-UP TIME IS HERE
In looking over the Alaska press
it is observed that house-cleaning
time for the cities and towns is close
, at hand. The editors are writing edi
torials telling the residents of their
towns to clean up and to paint up.
Every property owner should clean
up the rubbish on his place and get
everything spick and span for sum
mer.
It pays to keep your property clean.
It helps the looks of your neighbor
hood and thus adds to the value of
your place.
More than this, it saves you and
your neighbor doctor bills.
Much sickness and misery in the
world is caused by trash and junk
that is allowed to remain in back
yards.
Have a clean-up day of your own,
Join in the fight on dirt, for civic
beauty and good health,

RESOURCES ASSURE PROS
PERITY
Before the war it was seen that if
•a conflict should break out between
modern states it would be a war be
tween whole peoples. Few men be
lieved that any nation could stand
the strain of warfare en masse for
any considerable length of time. It
was freely predicted that such a
struggle would end in famine and
bankruptcy in a remarkably short
space.
The prophecy, like so many others,
has not been fulfilled. The allied na
tions are actually more prosperous
than have been in the past. They
have more money, wages are better,
and industry is expanding more than
in the pre-war period.
Canada lias been in the war almost
four years.
If this nation has to fight that long
a period, the present condition of
Canada forecasts the situation in this
nation three years from today.
Canada has sent 500,000 men to the
colors. If the United States sends
such a proportion of her population
there will be 7,000,000 Yankees in
France in the coming thirty months.
Canadian bank deposits ■ have in
creased from 659 to 985 millions dur
ing the war.
Automobiles in Canada numbered
43,000 When the struggle began; they
now total 191,000.
Canada has progressed industrially
and agriculturally as a result of the
war because she has had the resources
and the raw materials that were
needed by the allies. The United
States has the same advantages, and
no fear need be felt for the prosperity
of the land, even if the war continues
several years into the future.

BOY SCOUTS, ATTENTION
The Boy Scouts will meet tonight
at 7 o'clock, instead of 7:30, as is
customary. Be as prompt as possible,
as the Home Guards are to drill at
7:30. Our scouting meeting will only
be for a half hour. If you have se
cured any applications for a bond, be
sure and turn in the receipt from the
bank to the Scoutmaster. The medal
for ten individual subscriptions will
depend on the receipts turned in.
Tenderfoot Scout Rollie Clements is
assigned to duty at the Red Cross
headquarters for the week com
mencing tomorrow and including next
Monday.
Do not give up because the reapers
did a good job. You may glean enough
to count by appealing to some one who
has found $2.50 after the reapers went
by, and who would just as soon put it
into Liberty bonds as anything else.

CONCERT GIVEN BY AMERICAN SOLDIER BOYS IN FRANCE
n ___
In their leisure moments there is no surer method of arousing the good spirits of our boys in France than In
“ragging” popular songs on guitars and mandolins. Could these boys be happier? Judging from their facial expres
sion, if that is any indication, tl»ese boys are the happiest in the world. An American-made concert for Americans
under the Stars and Stripes is the rule in France, and there is nothing these boys of ours enjoy more.

DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
great war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
ple of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game law’s so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to |
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the Interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
"Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
