One. militarist, heard that woman

The other, a pacifst, heard that the

Alaska cost us less than one

Natives for Purchase.
A majority of the natives are
said to favor purchase by the
United States. Denmark is too
busy at home to pay much at
tention to the island colony.

NINE PERSONS ARE
SHAKEN UP WHEN
TWO AUTOS BUMP

Nine persons, riding In small
touring car driven by N. c. Jen-
sen of Dupont were thrown to the
pavement when the machine col
lided with that of Fred Brown of
Auburn on the main street of Au-
burn Sunday afternoon.
Jensen was returning from Sc
attic, and had in his car Mrs. Jen-
sen, their five children, and two

No wonder Uncle Sam is inter-
ested. There's going to be lot
of trouble IL his sea sleuths don't
solve the puzzle.
On the whole, 1t seems mighty
inconsiderate of Mr.. Albicore.
1t has never been definitely de-
cided just where the albicore
comes from. Now that he is gone
entirely the mystery is doubly per-
picking.
Edward c.. Johnson, naturalist
and government ocean detective,
is in charge of the investigation
of the albicore mystery He has
an able corps of assistants and the
steamer Albetross at his disposal.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. T.
Uncle Sam has ordered his
sleuths of the sea to solve the
battling mystery surrounding the
disappearance of Mr.. Tuna Abb
core.
On the success of their quest
for him hangs the fate Of an in
dustry valued in millions.
II Is hardly thought possible
that Mr.. Albicore has been MUIR
dured. But he is gone, COM
pletely and bamfoozlingly disap-
peared. One theory lis that he
grew tired of monotonous rou-
tine of existence from year to
year and just pulled up stakes
and hiked out to places unknown.

But, theroes or not, Uncle Sam
is mighty anxious to find Mr..
AIbicore's hiding place. II 1t
