I have been asked by the Depart
ment of Labor to write a letter to I
all the newspapers of the Territory
to put forth extra efforts, during the
summer of tittS, in increasing the
production of foodstuff, that they
may thereby assist the government;
in winning tb ir. And, in compli
ance with tii. ,nest, I wish to ask
that you give as much publicity as
possible to this appeal, as it is of
the utmost importance.
N'o state or land under the Stars!
and Stripes has come forth more
loyally than Alaska in the matter of
subscribing to the Liberty Loans, in
furnishing volunteers for the army,
and in assisting the lied Cross, and
other war work organizations. Al
though far away, Alaska is not so re
mote that (he administrative beads
do not know of the splendid work
that lias been done in the North since
the commencement of the war. They
know of all the work that has been
done and it lias been very gratifying
to me. as representative of the peo
ple of Alaska, to be able to bring to
the attention of the administrative
heads the statistics which show how,
conclusively Alaskans are hacking the
President in the prosecution of the
war. in the determination to make
the world safe for democracy.
In the past, and especially in 1917,
Alaska’s showing in the production of
food, by its fisheries and farms, was
remarkable. Yet, the government
asks for more. Therefore, let me ap
peal, with great emphasis, to all the
people of Alaska to produce as much
foodstuff as possible during the sea
son of 191S, and to consume only the
home-grown products where possible,
that we may be able to save the
bread and other necessities of life
for our soldiers, the soldiers of our al
lies and for the poor women and chil
dren of Belgium and Prance who have
suffered so terribly since that awful
day in 1914, when, by the act of a
mad monarch, the world was convert
ed into a human nlftiiprhtorhonno.
And let me urge the newspapers of
Alaska to keep this matter refreshed
in the minds of the people; for three
things will win the war—men, money
and food. Alaska has given liberally
of the first two and. with a little ef
fort, the people of the North will be
able to give more liberally of the
third than they have heretofore;
; thereby showing the world a record
for loyalty that will be the pride of
i all future generations of Alaskans.
Thanking you in advance for the
consideration which I am sure you
will give this matter, I am,
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES A. SULZER,
Delegate from Alaska.

CHICAGO, June 5.—Watch repair
ing in Chicago has more than dou
bled as the result of the telephone
company’s refusal to give the correct
time of day to subscribers on and
after May 1, acording to jewelry
houses and department store heads
here. The order lias also increased
I considerably the sale of new watches
and alarm clocks to persons who hith
j erto have depended largely upon the
telephone company for the time of tin
day.
According to the manager of om
j of the largest department stores ii
I the city, the watch repairing by this
establishment increased more that
fifty per cent almost before the or
der became effective, and the sale o
| watches, especially the cheaper kind
j and alarm clocks leaped forward ver;
rapidly.
Figures compiled by telephone ex
| perts showed more than 250,000 per
sons in Chicago called tlio operato
I daily and asked “the correct time.
| Repeal of the time honored custom
| telephone experts declared, was dit
to the burdens imposed upon facili
| ties of the company by the war.
Children, some of whom were un
able to tell the time, it is said, wer
the chief offenders, while others whi
