KNIT FOR TROOPS
Following the example of other
\laskan towns and thousands of

women of Nenana have started a
tnitting campaign for the benefit of
the American soldiers in France,
rhe work was started at a meeting
held last Tuesday and at another
meeting held on Friday, at Grace
church, the work was further out
lined. Yarn was distributed at the
first meeting, but there was not i
enough to supply all the ladies de
siring to knit and these will have ;
to wait until more yarn and needles
can be received from Fairbanks.
Mrs. R. H. Hildebrand and Mrs.
G. F. Cramer have been appointed
representatives of the Red Cross to ;
look after the work in Nenana. An
other meeting of the ladies will be
held next Friday.
Every woman in Nenana who
would like to learn to do such knit
ting as is being done for the Red
Cross service may do so, by coming
to Grace church any afternoon next
week at 2:30 o’clock. The local
Red Cross has arranged to have ex
perienced knitters on hand at the I
above place and hour, every day ex
cept Saturday, to instruct the un
learned in the art of Red Cross knit
ting, so that by the time the new
supply of yarn arrives there will be
a large company of fully informed
knitters ready to turn it into com
fortable articles for “The Sammies.”
OFFICERS ARE ABSENT;
MEETINGS POSTPONED
Owing to the absence of several
of the principal officers of the local
Moose lodge, there will be no more
meetings of that organization until
the stations can again be filled.
The members will be duly notified
when the meetings can be resumed.

The library management wishes to
:all the attention of subscribers to
;he fact that there are always quite
i number of books that are held
jeyond the two weeks allowed.
If the book is fiction this is not
permissible; if it is a book other
than fiction it is the subscribers’
luty to have it renewed at the end
jf the two weeks period, in case it
s desired to retain the book longer.
Under the present conditions it
will work a decided hardship on
those who are looking after these
>ooks, if they are compelled to keep
i close check on subscribers to pre
sent this condition.
This does not rigidly apply to
those not in town, but these latter
also, should make every effort to
return the books immediately when
read, within the two weeks period
if at all possible.
To retain the books longer than
the period of two weeks is unfair
to other subscribers.
It tends to make the library itself
unsatisfactory and unpopular; due
to the carelessness of a few.
You are courteously and hopefully
requested to return all overdue books
Today; and to resolve to do better
next time.

WILLIAM COLLIER PLAY
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT
William Collier, celebrated Broad
way star, will make his appearance
at the Coliseum tomorrow night in
the Triangle feature, “The No-Good
Guy,” a five reel comedy which was
written especially for him by C.
Gardenr Sullivan.
The story concerns a youth whose
large fortune is held in trust by a
double-crossing uncle. The hero
leads rather a wild life until he is
brought to a halt by a command to
go to work or starve. Rather than
suffer the pangs of hunger, he opens
a detective agency and finally wins
success and a very pretty girl. The
winning is not easy, however, and
the many adventures he has make
the comedy, most exciting. And in
cidently, the crooked old uncle is
forced to come through with the
fortune which he has been withhold
ing from his wayward ward.
As a curtain raiser, the manage
ment will show a Paramount split
reel, one part of which will consist
of a comedy skit.
Rev. Robert Joseph Diven will ad
dress the audience during the last
intermission, in a four-minute talk.
The price of admission will be fifty
cents, with a quarter extra for re
served seats. The show will start
at 8:30 o’clock.

CONSTRUCTION STARTED
AT 43-MILE CROSSING
Under the direction of Kenneth
Case, residency engineer, the work
of building the new bridge across
the Nenana river at 43-Mile cross
ing was started last month. Pile
driver Number 1 with a crew of
twelve men will handle the work,
with Charles Warmenson as fore
man. The logs are on the ground
and the crews will start in the ice
immediately.
In speaking of the possibilities of
putting on the big crews again,
Superintendent Packer stated that at
present there is a crew of men
working with the piledriver at 20
mile and Lost Slough, building the
dam. When the dam is completed
it will put an end to all the ice and
water troubles which have been ex
perienced there and the big crews
will at once be put to work on the
track laying- Mr. Packer says that
the only reason the men were moved
to 43-Mile was in order to take ad
vantage of cold weather, so that the
work could be completed while there
was plenty of ice. The driver and
thawing crew at 20-Mile approxi
mate 40 men. Ike Tayior is resi
dency engineer in charge.
