TEE REPORT PROGRESS
A» the meeting of the Fourth Li
berty Loan committee last night at
the Bank of Alaska, reports "were
made by the sub-committees and
good irogress wag reported. Over
half of the people who were listed
ha^e fceen seen and almost every
on-> has subscribed or promised to
do so and the committee is satis
fied th»t the Skagway quota will be
mora than subscribed.
The fact that the Alaska Packers
Association had1 subscribed Alaska's
quot» has not dampened the ardor
of aay one who has been seen and
the dtslre that Skagway makQ good
was evident on every side.
It has been noticed that those
who had relatives at the front were
generous BUbscrit>ers and were
willing to make great sacrifices In
order that there should be nothing
needed at the front that money
could buy. »

WOMEN WIN'
WINSOME WORD
Charley Walker says he has
changed his mind.' a-bout women
i
workers. This change was caused
yesterday when he was assisting in
packing up the shipment of clothes
aud shoes for the Belgians which
the ladies of the local Red Cross
have had under their c^e.
Charley said that be has always
heard that it was groverbial that
there was more talking than working
a» women's gatherings, but yester
day afternoon, he declares the la
dles worked as if their Hv«s de- j
oendej on it and not a word was
heard but the necessary talk inci
dent t" the packing, weighing a,nd
latelling of the boxes. All of which
tells in a few words "Eow well the
womtn of Skagway appreciate the
need? of the hour and' are endeavor
ing to ameliorate the suffering a.
rislnjr from the cruelty of kultur.
The more power to them.
