OLD ADJUSTMENTS TO NEW
NEEDS
We used to look back with tender
tolerance ol a patient for the imma
turity of bis child in the colonial days
when each little community was self
supporting. \\re took pride and
pleasure in the fact that the threads
of international trade had woven us
into a great, intricate one-piece pat
tern Hut when (lermany cut those
threads and destroyed that pattern we
v.'ere forced to take up the broken
strands and weave them over again
into the old individual pattern of co
lonial days.
Hroken lines of t rathe, disorgan
ized systems of transportation, in ad*
equate terminal facilities, make the
problem of getting supplies to the
front almost insuperable. The duty
of the community to make itself self
supporting. in so far us it cun. is im
perative It must relieve the country
of the strain of providing for it, so
that all resources may he put Into'
the hands that are beating back the
enemy.
V\ e can not be deaf to this duty.
Our war experience reminds us too
sharply that our amy very safely may
depend on an ability again to live for
a time in the primitive conditions we
thought completely outworn.
' Those who believe that "food will
win the war” will take on willingly
one* more these old conditions. They
will do all tlle> tan to feed them
selw s in their own communities, thus
doing much to keep clear the great
highways of concrete, steel and water
tor tin trucks, trains and transports
hea\y with precious supplies for the
men and women in war-torn Europe

AT FORT FILLED i
A
plies at Kurt Liscum. due to the eon-]
gested condition of transportation fa-j
cllities between Alaska and the
Btates, was the cause of a hurled trip
to this city of Lieutenant McClure,
quartermaster of the post He found
here a ready response to the necessi
ties of the military post, and was able
to return with the much-need sup
plies.
Lieutenant McClure, in commend-j
ing the patriotic actions of Cordova j
merchants in the emergency, said he j
could not find words to express his!
gratitude, and he wishes to espe
cially commend the firm of Glass-j
brenner & Smith, who placed their |
entire stock of meats at his disposal
for the use of the boys at the fort.
Further than this, they “'rounded up"
all surplus stocks of meats at camps j
ami hoarding houses to supply the
wants of the hoys at Fort Liscum.
The spirit displayed was n most
commendable one, and if there should
be a shortage of meats locally the |
public will undoubtedly be glad of the I
opportunity to deprive themselves of j
fresh meats for the benefit of the sol- \
dler boys.
