PUBLIC SCHOOL IRK
TOLD OF B! PUPILS
THRIFT STAMP CONTEST
F. Edna Thawley
The schools of Alaska are having
a very exciting contest. On Febru
ary 15 all the schools of the territory
entered a contest in which the child
ren are to buy Thrift Stamps and
War Stamps. The money must be
earned, not given them for doing
nothing in return. The school that
has the largest sum of money invest
ed in these Government Loans will
have a pennant awarded them. To
create more enthusiasm in our school
the pupils have been divided into two
equal teams, the Blues nnd the Reus.
The pupils elected two captains,
Frances Fraisure as captain of the
Blues and Elwell Thawley as captain
of the Reds. The captains take an
account of the money their pupils
have. Each captain chooses his own
team. They have made clocks, one
for each room and each morning they
are moved ahead by the captains, if
any of their team have gotten any
i stamps. The teams have agreed that
* the side that loses will give a picnic
for the side that wins, at the end ol
the term. There are only eight more
days before this contest closes and
all the children have given up going
to the show and buying candy for
these remaining days and are going
to buy Thrift Stamps instead. A1
present Elwell’s team is ahead and
the two together have about seven
hundred and fifty dollars InvesterM-n
these stamps. The children are very
patriotic to give up their pleasures
these eight days; therefore we hope
ail the parents will help their child
ren to keep their promise.

WHY SHOULD WE “HOOVERIZE?"
Genevieve Rosswog
The war is on in full force now. W«
have joined England and her allies
“to make the world safe for demo
cracy.” We must show that we are
in every way with our government in
its declaration of war upon Germany
Our young men must go and we must
stand behind them to give them all
the help we can. We are millions oi
miles away, but in this age of steam
ships and railroads even we can dc
our bit. Our appetites are hard tc
conquer: they say a man will do any
thing for his stomach. But here is a
time when a little self sacrifice on oui
part will help cur boys in France, wil
help to “kill the Kaiser,” and wil
help the world to overthrow auto
cracy and make it safe for universa
democracy. It has always been sai<
that the United States .is a wastefu
nation: Before the war we had al
ways had plenty, no one suffered be
' cause of our waste; but now thing
I have changed; everything we wast
{ takes so much off from what wo sem
i to our allies, takes so much awa;
| from the poor, starving people in Bel
I gium, in France, and so much fron
j the boys “somewhere in France.” Si
1; now when we sit down to eat an
pick up a piece of war bread we
should think that we may not be able
to go to Prance and take a shot at
“Fritz” but we will sit down at our
own table and give him the hardest
%
knock we can.
JUNIOR RED CROSS
Gladys Giles
The refugee work that is being
done by the Junior fled Cross is now
showing fine results. The layettes
which they are making wil' help a
number of little war babies in France.
Just a few more garments remain to
be finished1* up' Pnd th#n the Junior
Red Cross will be able to show to
Cordova some very fine work.
The layettes consist of two little
outing-flannel dresses trimmed with
fancy stitching, a little French flan
nel jacket, 2 pairs of bootees, 2 wrap
ping blankets of French flannel, 3
muslin jackets, three flannel jack
ets, and a darling little blue cape
made just like Little Red Riding
Hood's. With these articles of cloth
ing a bar of toilet soap, talcum pow
der, and a package of safety pins will
be put into a bag with the layettes.
Besides this work which the girls
are doing.. the boys are helping by
cutting gun-wipers and little clippings
of cloth which will be ma'de into pil
lows. Many of the children are knit
ting six-inch squares of varicolored
yarn. These squares are to be sewed
together to make warm blankets for
the “boys in France." Some indus
trious girls are knitting scarfs and
socks, the former being for old peo
ple and not soldiers.
Some interesting hours have been
taken up by the work which is being
put on some scrap books for the
“boys over there." Jokes and ear
i toons are cut out of magazines and
put into them. These scrap books
are just like the ones your great
grandmothers made while sitting by|
the grate in the evening listening to j
weird tales of witches.
HAVE THEIR OWN WAR
MEMPHIS. Term., May 9. —Booze!
smugglers and whiskey runners in
Memphis vicinity have become real i
“bad men.” They have been furnish i
ing the United States marshals with
many thrills and the odds are that a
quantity of hot lead will be spilled in
the very near future.
Although but a year ago the boot
leggers never dreamed of fight, Unit
ed States marshals today go armed
with automatic shotguns, far shooting
rifles and revolvers of heavy calibre.
1 They have been forced to do it in de
. fense of their lives.
Week by week the gangsters who
1 sell booze have become more danger
I our. They have developed into a class
- of dare-devils, far more dangerous to
hunt than the bucolic moonshiner in
i his mountain lair.
5: Of the booze-running gangs, two
are especially dangerous. One of
■ these operates by use of “stick-up”
tactics. On two notable instances'
i this gang impersonated United States
) marshals and bagged large quantities
1 of booze from other bootleggers.
