'OLD; GLORY".
"America For Americans"
Commencing with the issue of
Monday, July 1st, the Skagway
Daily Alaskan will be somewhat dif
ferent in appearance on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays of each
week. On those days it will be in
the form of a one-page news bulle
tin, containing the full cable press
reports and the most important lo
cal news. On Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays, the present four
uage paper will appear as usual.
The Bulletin will be delivered to
all of the subscribers just the same
as the full-sized paper.
The Publishers have been study
ing for some months plans whereby
the subscribers and advertisers
could be served with a modified pub
lication with the same results as
at present .and after studying plans
adopted elsewhere to meet similar
tonditions, and after conferring
with many of the subscribers an!
advertisers, this plan has commend
ed itself as best suited to the
needs of Skagway and the surround
territory.
!t is with regret that we have
to announce any curtailment in the
size of the paper, for a continuous
publication of a full sized daily
on every ousineS9 day for twenty
years and five months in a place the
size of Skagway is an unbroken
record of which we feel we may be
justly proud. Aside from the Daily
\Jaskan being the oldest daily pub*
'ication in the territory, it is douDt
:ul if anywhere in North America a
daily paper has appeared continu
oulv thruout two decades in a com
munity as small as Skagway. Not
withstanding this fact the publishers
have been able to maintain the pa
r by the splendid cooperation of
the subscribers, the advertisers, and
,->se requiring job work in the
printing office. The past winter.
ir conditions doubling and trebling
in many cases the costs of print
iper, materials and supplies and
the exodus of men to the outside to
enter military service or to avail
themselves of the high wages paid
in the States, have Drought about
conditions which have created a
daily deficit which the nublishers do
not feel they should continue to
bear. The new plan will enable the
Alaskan to take care of its job print
ing department to very much bet
ter advantage, and in this way to
meet the deficit created by the con
tinuance of a daily paper. It is be
lieved that all of our loyal pa
trons will understand the effort we
are making to serve them and that
they will continue to support us in
the future as in the past.

There are anti-Americans and
anti-Britishers. There are antl-ln
dustrialists and antl-foodsavers. con
scientious objectors and plain slack
ers. There are anti-Red Crossers
and anti-Libeerty Bonders, and soma
others who are simply willing to
"let George do It."
I' you are just a twain. Ameri
can and are not anti-something,
here's your chance. Register your ■

book as an anti-Bellyacher. There <
are no dues, no assessments, no 1

The members pledge themselves t<l
llscourage war time bellyaching in
ill its forms. Their creed and
iledge is:
I hereby avow the belief that even
! could not run the war to please
rverybody.
That war must necessarily inter
ere with some peaceful occupations
tnd pursuits.
That all men and women should
ielp as much as possible and "can"
he bellyache until it's won.
That all hundred-percent Ameri
ans realize that we are In this
>ecause we could not honorably stay
tut, and as we are in, it is our
>urpose to push as hard as we can;
0 root for the government with
1 large size megaphone; to glorify
he Army and the Navy and all thelj)
works, and damn the man who
hrows sand in the gears.
To swat the fault-finders and
he calamity nowlera, the wo
>etides and the sob sisters. To
llscourage the individual who in
lista that his private affairs take
irecedence over the national neces
ilties.
To sympathize with and help all
:hose who are adversely affected by
the war, but to maintain a full
realization that it is war, adn to
•can" the bellacfle.
To induce as many others as pos
sible to join the Honorable & Pa
triotic Society of Anti-Bellyachers,
una unite to drive this very splen
did war machine of ours over the
Rhine.

the bulletin o.* the St. l<ouls health de

"He Is a thief of health and com
fort." continues the bulletin. "Of
course he doe* not know It, and be
does not mean to Injure his friends
and companions, but he does that very
thing every time he coughs or sneezes
without protecting his mouth and none
with his handkerchief.
"Watch the people who are atfllcteo
and take uote of how few persons uso
a handkerchief when sneezing or cough
ing. They scatter irrip germs In of
