A huge war work program has
been planned by the Army General
Staff for the next eight months.
“The war department definitely
plans to produce twice as much ma
terial from now until next June as
it has produced since the beginning
of the war,” was the statement made
recently by John C. Jones, director
of production in the Philadelphia
district, in explaining that produc
tion in Philadelphia and vicinity will
not be cut.
Mr. Jones said tha all of the
plants will be kept running at capa
city and that the order of the Gen
eral Staff of the army that con
tracts awarded in Philadelphia and
in fify-nine other cities were to be
kept at a minimum was really meant
to prevent the breaking down of
the program of producing an over
| whelming amount of war material
' during the next eight months.
Statistics recently compiled show
that during the first three Liberty
Loans, the people of Hawaii sub
scribed to bonds of a value of
$16,020,000, or $60 per capita,
based on an estimated population
I for the territory of 265,000. This
record, it is indicated, was main
tained in the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, just closed.

COLISEUM WILL SHOW
LOCAL REEL SAIURDAV
Fight For the Paper-Weight Cham
pionship in Nenana Will Be
Shown Saturday Night.
In addition to the other pictures
that will be shown, the management
of the Coliseum has secured a roll
of film taken in Nenana on last
Fourth of July, depicting the battle
between Ira Geary ( Young Battling
Nelson) and Clifford Noeller (Young
Kid Lavin). The movie man who
took the picture evidently turned
the crank a trifle faster than is
customary and has thereby put more
“pep” into the action of the clever
little kids. A few Nenanaites who
were present at the try-out of the
picture are loud in their praise of it.
The fight put up by the kids is
really very good and well worth
seeing.
The picture is clear and distinct
all the way through and the action
of the kids, both in the fighting
and in the scramble for the money
thrown at them by the crowd is
very good and no one should miss
seeing this.
The long distance race, which was1
won by Harold Anderson, is also
shown in this reel.
PIONEERS’ ENTERTAINMENT
AWAITS ACTION OE IGLOO
The entertainment and dance
planned some little time ago by
Nenana Igloo No. 17, Pioneers of
Alaska and which was postponed
out of respect to the memory of
our boys who died at Camp Dodge,
will be held shortly after the next
regular meeting of the Pioneers and
after election, which takes place on
November 5th.
There will probably be a few
changes in the program announced
some time ago, as several others
have signified their willingness to
contribute towards the success of
the affair.
As soon as it has been decided
on, the date fixed for the enter
tainment and dance will be an
nounced in these columns.
1,185,000 tons of sugar will be
saved the first year if each of us
uses one ounce less each day. This
will keep sugar plentiful and cheap.

Nenana townsite lots will be
offered for sale at the townsite
office at 11 a. m., October 26th,
28th and 29th, 1918, at public auc
tion. (

RELAND ENIOYS

EXCEPTING SUGAR,
—
LONDON—Although only a throe- i
hour boat trip separates England;
and Ireland, there is as much diff
erence as between day and night j
in the two islands as far as food is!
concerned.
For the person who has lived in
England for a time and whose habits J
have let him to believe his system}
needs more than the number of food I
calories science prescribes, Ireland;
is a wonderful place to dine in.
It does not follow that sufficient;
food is not available in England—
there is sufficient to healthily main
tain the system but there is a diff
erence between that and eating
a large steak properly decorated.
That can be accomplished in Ireland
at reasonable cost, but not in Eng
land at any price.
Ireland is not rationed voluntary
or otherwise, and there is plenty of
everything with the exception of
sugar. In respect to food it is more
pleasantly situated than the United
States or England, because prices
have not advanced as they have in
America and are no higher than
in England, where the ministry of
food not only rations but controls
prices. Ireland always has sent
quantities of meat and dairy pro
ducts to England and still is doing
so today.
Americans who have been in Eng
land and tried to become accustomed
to the four ounces of meat at a
meal and an absence of fat in cook
ing wherever possible, on arriving in
Ireland fairly gorge themselves fori
a few days on meat, drink quanti-i
ties of milk and do not spare the
butter. They had not been getting i
milk at all except with a physician’s i
prescription and butter was limited j
to less than an ounce a day.

trict who will be glad to hear of:

BRITISH POSTAL HEAD
TELLS OF WORK DONE
LONDON.- The American expres
sion “Let George do it,’’ has found
its counterpart in England in “Let
the postotfice do it,’’ in the opinion
of Postmaster General A. H. Illing
worth.
Speaking of the work accomplish
ed by his branch of the government
Mr. Illingworth said that whenever
certain schemes have been evolved
to aid in war work the authorities
have said “the postoffice will do it.”
And, he hastened to add, “it does
it.”
Among the achievements of the
postoffice during the last fiscal year,
Mr. Illingworth detailed the paying
out of over one hundred million
allowance and fifty-one million old
age pensions, the manufacture of
vast stores of telegraph and tele
phone apparatus for use in the field;
the construction of a network of
wires for the home defense forces,
the issuance of forty-nine million
food rationing cards, the distribution
of five million of national safety
enrollment cards and tons of leaf
lets for the economy campaign.
Supplying food is America's prin
cipal part in the war right now;
