asks Ballinger four questions, as fol-
lows:
Did YOU not. Mr. Ballinger. order
the Commission claims patented iH
the face of repeated reports from
your Investigators in the field that
they bore all the ear marks of fraud2
Did you not Mr.. Ballinger, a few
days before retiring as Commission
er of the General Land Office, urge
Congress to pass a bill that would
make valid certain Alaska claims
that were really notwithstanding
which you, yourself. admitted were
in technical violation of the law?
Did you not. Mr. Ballinger, very
soon after resgning your position as
head Of the land Office become attor-
ney for the interests represented by
Cunningham and others and eldeav "
to secure patents to their claims from
the government?
Did you not, Mr. Ballinger, know
of the existence of a statute of the
United States which expressly pro-
hibits an officer or employee of the
government becoming within two
years after leaving the service, pri-
yate attorney in any case which arose
in the department with which he was
connected during his term of Office?

Club, had the appearance of a good
sized city on Memorial Day; it pre-
sented a very animated scene as
there were gathered there nearly 1926
persons. 1t was opening day, and
a tournament had been arranged
which was participated in by large
number of golfers. The ladies' first
prize was won by Miss Eta Nelson
with a score of SO. Other prizes
were won by Mollie Parker, Nellie
Hulsizer, Beatrice Rehbein and Jen-
ME Schoonover. The prizes for
gentlemen were captured by Walter
NJ. Whitney with score of 92, and

The Baptist church last Sunday
evening was filled to overflowing, the
auditorium, the annex and galleries
being packed with those who had
come to join with the G. A. R. and
Company E, 18th Regiment, in me-
mortal services. The pastors of the
Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian
and Lutheran churches assisted the
Baptist pastor in the exercises. The
sermon was delivered by the Rev.
George s. Wendell. of Chester, Pa.
This was al excellent discourse well
delivered and held the attention of
the Icst G,4ience very closely. The
Drum Corps was present and as
sisted il. & g exercises. The choir,
reinforced by string and brass in
strUments, rendered the old patriotic
songs in an inspiring manner. The
solo by Mrs. Archer, the duet by
Misses Wagner and Mantle, and the
anthem in which Mr.. Wagner took
the principal part, ably assisted by
the entire choir, were most excellent
ly rendered.

Again, we notice there is a tendency
for the larger boys to drop out to help
with the spring work We trust that
