rests. and the possible occupation of

dcnccs today of a crisis in the Irish
hCrnc rule conflict
With the Unionists declaring that the
government has doubled the number of
troops in all Irish barracks, the great
est activity was evident among the u
ster volunteers. Unionists firmly believe
that the government plans some coup.
The leaders assert that the Ulsterites
cannot be held in check much longer,
and that any military action which may
he taken will certainly be followed by
the war" so long threatened.
Liberals Admit Crisis.
The Marquis of Londonderry and other
prominent Ulster leaders had returned to
Belfast today, and with the Bonar lSw
motion for the censure of the COVE p
ment defeated in the house of commons,
reports of impending developments of the
most serious nature prevailed
Liberal leaders today admitted that
the situation wg serious but expressed
confidence in the precautions taken The
sudden inflammatory reports from Ulster,
they declare, indicate clearly that the
Unionists realize they have been defeat
ed in the parliamentary battle.
Premier AsQuith and other liberal
leaders have all but broken under the
strain of the bitter fight, it was declared
today. The premier is said to be in very
poor health.

Clank of Sabers.
The clank of sabers was heard
throughout Ulster today. Unusual ac-

Postal Savings
 Banks Described

Postmaster Deal has received de- tailed information in circulars sent out from Washington about the workings of the postal savings banks, one of which MT. Deal is trying to get for Fairbanks.
 These circulars state that the de- positors may turn their money into interest-bearing government bonds, which cannot be taxed in any state or city of the country. Concerning these bonds the circulars say, in part:
 "Depositors of the Postal Savings System may apply at any time to exchange the whole or part of their deposits for United States reg ister or coupon bonds in denomina- tions of $20, 0100, and $500. Such bonds will be dated January or July l of each year, and will bear interest at the rate of 2h per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. They will be redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after one year from the date of their is- sue and payable 20 years from that date, both principal and interest be- ing payable in United States gold coin.
 Postal savings bonds are exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States as we'll as from taxation in any form by or under state, munich pal, or local authority"

 RADIO STATION

People residing at Wiseman, in the Koyukuk country, have signed a petition to be sent to the secretary of war, asking for telegraphic ser vice to be established there. Copies of the petition were received in Fair banks Saturday night. and other copies have been sent to Delegate Wickersham. Governor Strong and Marshal Erwin. They are all asked to give the project support.
 The petition sent to Washington was signed by 200 people. represent ing almost everybody in Wiseman. It is generally conceded here that the request for radio station or telegraph line is just and should be granted, as the place is far remov- ed from such communication with the Outside world.
 Following is the petition sent to Washington:

 of War, Washington. D. c.

Town Gossip and Stories
By The TattIer.
Odd ews Stories

Odd Local news has been so News scarce the last few days Stories that it seems to have
 kept the daily newspa- pers guessing how to get something to fill up their columns One pa per has been trying. for instance, to show that Fairbanks may suffer at some future time from the dreaded foot and mouth disease that has been found among the cattle in Chi cago and some other places Outside. But that was not as peculiar as what was done by the other daily paper. which had long stories tell ing about Judge Wicckersham's be ing ready to give $25O toward an enterprise to drill for coal in Fair banks
 It will be remembered that Mir. Wickersham made the same offer a few years ago. and it has remain ed standing offer since then. There Is nothing of a news feature about it now, for nobody has indi- cated that he will join in the propos ed enterprise.
 As long as there are almost un limited beds of coal not far from
 
 1t does not seem possible that any body is going to prospect for more, especially when it involves a large capital to do so. The plan for pros pecting under the city of Fairbanks for coal originated from the sugges- tion made by MT Brooks, of the Geological survey. to the effect that coal could probably be found there. This IL is generally admitted Man Had that lawyers and news Nerve paper men have more
 than their share of nerve. Newspaper men especially are sup posed to be composed largely Of brass. This has given rise to a story that may be worth reproducing here.
 A certain newspaper reporter on the Outside complained of being sick for some time. and finally he decided to call on a doctor After he had explained his symptoms to the doctor, the latter carefully wrote out a long prescription. This he handed to the sick newspaper man.
 
 prescription and asked the doctor how much the druggist would charge to fill it.
 About $50" replied the doctor. Now look here" said the news paper man, you don't happen to have $50 about you that you can lend me, do you?"
 The doctor looked his patient over for moment. then he asked to look at the prescription again. When the prescription was handed to him, the doctor carefully drew his pen cil through most of the items it contained, and passing it back to his patient, said:
 Now 1t will cost you only ten cents to get it filled Here is the ten cents"
 "But-er, doctor" said the sur prised newspaper man, why did you cancel a part of the prescrip- tion? What was it you crossed out?" That's all right" explained the doctor. The prescription Is all that you need. The part l crossed out was something for your nerves, but l see that they are all right"

FREE MOVIES
SATURDAY
And For Five More Saturday.
. Thereafter

The attendance at the picture
show last Saturday afternoon
showed an increase over all prev.
ious audiences since the free
show movement began.
AS has been before stated, the
idea of this attraction was first
conceived by H, B. Phelps, who
in turn presented the idea to the
Commercial club. The expense
of each show is born by the mer.
chants of Meade. Since there
are no less than fifty supporting
the shows. and since Mr.. Phelps
puts the shows on for nothing
more than cost to him, the cost
to each individual supporting the
show, is small.
The first petition circulated
provided for fiYe shows and the
last of these will be gwen next
Saturday afternoon.
This is not the last of the
free picture shows, however
The idea has been so popular, Sc
much favorable comment has
been heard, and going to th'
Saturday afternoon movies ha:
become a pleasing occupation
the shows will continue for an
other five Saturdays under thu
same agreement. The price o
admission remains the same,
absolutely free.

Hard Fought Battle Ends In
Meade Victory

What may we'll be termed the
most exciting game of the season
was played in the opera house
last Friday evening, those en-
gagged being the Ashland High
School Basket Ball Team against
the Meade team. The game
was exciting from the start, and
both sides played well. In the
last half of the game excitement
grew, the time was swiftly fly
ing-with Ashland one point in
the lead. Then Bub Campbell
got the ball and the crowd watt
ed breathlessly-and Bud threw
the goal that changed the decis-
ion and made it % to % in favor
of Meade. 1t was Ashland's
first defeat, but they took it
bravely. The Meade team will
play Ashland a return game on
Friday night of this week.

HOME TALENT
MAKES HIT
Large Audience And Many
Compliments

"The Missing Miss Miller"
certainly made a "hit" at the
opera house last Tuesday even-
ing, and from what we have heard
there are not many who missed
seeing it. All you can hear is,
Wasn't 1t good" Equally as
good, if not better than many of
the travelling shows" and simil-
ar words of praise. 1t was good
and the parts could not have
been better handled by profess
ionals, in fact, if you hadn't
known you might easily have
judged them all as professionals.
The play was bright and snap
py, not a dull moment from be-
ginning to end, and the special
ties between acts also deserve to
be complimented. We would
like to give each character spec
ial mention, they deserve it, but
space will not permit, therefore
we can only say, that each did
justice to his part.
The play was given by the
Guild of st. Augustine's Episco-
pal Church. The house was
crowded, and a great many were
obliged to stand. The applause
was generous, and the large
audience was an indication that
Meade people are loyal TO home
talent attractions.
