the selective service regulations, left
in charge of Sergeant Sollerbach,
for St. Michael, enroute to a train
ing camp, on the steamer Washburn
on her first trip out from the Idit
arod river.
It is presumed that they will be
j held under training at St Michael
' until the rest of the Alaska boys
I are ready and will then be sent out
with them later on.
Major Albrecht. Spanish-Ameri
can war veteran, who is a director of
the business of the late George
Riley, mustered the men in front )f
his office and gave them quite a

the country. It is said to be the
first time the people of Iditarod
had the pleasure of seeing Major
Albrecht in his regimentals.
The men who left, fifteen strong,
were given quite a big send-off by
the residents of the town and the
neighboring creeks.

YEAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED DY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
Salvage from
the battlefields
The Allied armies find it very profitable
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Britain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty parctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
THEY EARN MONEY
THEY SAVE LIFE AT THE
FRONT, BY HELPING UNCLE
SAM WIN THE WAR.
