SAVE MORE FOOD
Public Expected to Observe Food
Conservation Closely to Guard
Against Shortage.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator,
said today that the people need fear
no danger of a sugar famine and
* that the food situation was now,
generally speaking, much better
than at any time since the United,
States undertook to feed the Allied
world. The public, however, is ex
pected to closely observe the sugar
and other conservation measures.
With the prospect of a nine hun
dred billion bushel wheat crop to
look forward to, a big wheat re
serve must be maintained against
any possibly shortage in next year's
crop.

STEAMS PLAY FAST
; GAME0F6ASEBAIL
! Fans Enjoyed a Very Good Game
Although Attendance Wai Very
Poor Indeed.
1 The dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans
had served up to them on Sunday
at the new baseball grounds the
fastest and most exciting game, so
far, of the season, when the boys
of Company B again crossed bats
with the boys of the local team.
Besides resulting in the close score
j of 4 to 3 in favor of Company B,
i the game brought out some new
! talent that proved a delight to the
| fans- What added greatly to the
! day’s sport was the excellent play
ing condition of the ground, which
■ was dry and fast and allowed some
I real baseball to be played.
The ball tossers themselves got
| right down to business and from
the first to the last the play was
close, several double plays, besides
spectacular running catches and
! pretty stops being in order.
* The game was worth while wit
i nessing and it is greatly to be de
plored that the support was so
I meager. The poor attendance was
j perhaps due to the game not being
j advertised more largely, but it is
to be hoped that Nenanaites will
, extend their support in a larger
I measure at the next game to bi
played, on Sunday July 14.
The boys are putting in practice
1 every night and those who will bt
on hand at the grandstand are
: assured of being witnesses to a hotlj
, contested game all the way through
j Several of the star players ari
! about to leave for the traininj
I camp and next Sunday may bi
j their last appearance on the loca
; diamond.

NEW BRiOGE NEAR
COMPLETION NOW
Bridge Ac-oss Fish Creek Expected
to Be Finished Tonight, Ready
For Capping.
Rails were laid to the north bank
of Fish creek and the shift going
on duty Saturday night started in
driving the piles to support the
bridge across this stream. Pile
driver No. 4, also known as the
track driver, is doing the work,
which is expected to be finished to
night- The work of putting on the
caps and stringers will be taken in
hand at once and the bridge will
be completed to allow of the rails
being laid.
During the period consumed in
driving the piling, the steel gangs
were put on to help the ballasting
and surfacing gangs and a very
large quantity of gravel was laid
under the rails and the three miles
of new roadway surfaced.
On an average of about sixty
cars of gravel were used daily,
Owing to the marshy nature of the
ground over which the new D line
runs from the switch to the north
bank of Fish creek, only about 20
yards of gravel was loaded on each
car, or approximately 40-ton loads.
The new D line is a scene of great
activity now, both the big loco
motives are busy hauling gravel
trains and returning with empties,
a train being on the line nearly
all the time. The “Five Spot” or
Locomotive No. 5, also makes oc
casional trips whenever she can man
age to get “line clear”, hauling
material for the piledriver crew
working on the Fish creek bridge
i and taking the men to and from
their work.
The exact distance from the
switch to the north bank of Fish
creek on which rails have been laid
is 14,000 feet.

Decide to Double btrength

LONDON—Reports received from
Tokio today state fh.»t a council
composed of field marshal and ad
: mirals of the Japanese army and
j navy formed recently ror the pur
I pose of reorganizing the land forces
| of the country, hav.- come to a de
! cision.
The army under the new recr
ganization scheme will r>e naue t p

The phase “Where Rail and River
^ Meet" has been formally adopted
jby the Nenana Commercial club as
the official slogan of Nenana and
i merchants and the public generally
are urged to make general use of
it as a means of advertising the
town. It has been suggested that the
j business men of the town have the
' slogan made a part of their business
! stationery.
i The Nenana club was first to
make use of the slogan and the
phrase has met with such general
approval that the Commercial club,
at a regular meeting held on Sun
day, decided to adopt it as the offi
cial slogan of that organization
and to have it appear on the sta
tionery of the club.
The slogan, as all slogans should,
carries with it a message wherever
it goes. It informs those who read
it, that Nenana is centrally located
in the rich Tanana valley, with the!
government railroad stretching away j
to the south and the Tanana river
connecting Nenana by water with
all other sections of Interior Alaska,
thus giving the town importance as
a transportation center, and advant
age possessed by no other Interior
town.
