An amusing incident is told which
took place in one of the occupied dis
tricts of Belgium where the German
occupier doles out potatoes to such
of the starving people as agree to work
for him. One recipient presented him
self before the German authorities and
declared himself quite ready in return
for a supply of potatoes to work for
the Germans. and only for them. He
seemed quite decided and genuine in
his offer of work.
"Then you are quite willing to sign
the declaration?' asked the German
officer.
.'Yes. quite willing"

 Before me, the undersigned, Unit ed States Commissioner personally appeared Phil Abrahams, Treasurer of the City of Skagway and Frank Page, Assessor of the City of Skagway, who being by me duly sworn according to law, did depose and say each for him. self and not one for the other;
 That the idle and ugly rumor being circulated in parts of the First Divis- ion of Alaska, that the Hon. J. NJ. Tan ner, did during his residence in the city of Skagway, own, control and rent for immoral purposes, certain buildings to women of the under world, is unjust, unfair and untrue. That we know of our own knowledge that the Hon. J. M. Tanner, during his incumbency as Mayor of the City of Skagway. started a campaign for the removal of these women to part of the city where they would be isolat- ed, and by strenuous efforts was sue cessful in his undertaking, and is en- titled to much credit for the work that he did in removing this blot from the principal streets to where it now is. That we deny everything said against the Hon. J. M. Tanner, not withstanding all arguments to the contrary.

ing. This meeting will be good place

kinds of stock. The right kind of a
start will make for the most rapid
progress in the livestock business.
