BUFFALO HAS CARGO OF COOK
 INLET HERRING

The Buffalo, gasoline sloop from Cook inlet, arrived early today with Capt. George Hogg and crew of three men aboard, bringing two tons of fat herring,
 Capt. Hogg says that he was delayed by heavy winds, which forced him to take shelter behind the islands south of the peninsula. The Buffalo left Seldovia Jan. goth, and encounterd q heavy storm the first night out, after which it was a succession of blows. A canoe dashed to the top of the cabin was carried away during the heaviest storm.
 The herring are the finest seen here in long time, and show the possibih- ties for the herring industry at Kat chemak bay.

Some Ship

When the U. s. railroad tug L. Roscoe was at Seldovia, one of the crew of this diminutive craft essayed to visit a residence where the captain, chief engineer and his assistant were guests. He had neglected to remove all the grime and on some pretext was sent away. When he returned to the tug he complained about this and the stoker, formerly of the boiler room of a giant Pacific freighter came back thusly:
 Well the nerve 'ave you. What dye mean tryin' to butt in and hob mob wid ships officers ashore" It sarves ye right

Candles Vs. Electricity,

The Society for Electrical Develop
ment, anxious to encourage a wider
use Of electricity for lighting, has pre-
pared figures showing 1t is much cheap
er than candles or kerosene.
A recent test Of six candles showed
that for 1 cent only 2.6s candle-power
hours were obtained. II electricity for
lighting costs cents for a kilowatt
hour 20-watt lamp can be lighted for
50 hours for 9 cents. The efficiency of
q 2O-watt incandescent is a candle
power for LII watts. Thus a 2OAwatt
lamp will provide about II candle
power. 1t will burn so hours for 9
cents, or $50 candle-power hours will
cost 8 cents. One cent will buy 94.l
candle-power hours, or IS times as
much light as can be obtained from Q

When God Probes.

God loves us too much to let what
would hurt us stay with us. So, be-
cause of this love, he himself Is will
ing to hurt us IN order to save us from
the greater hurt. Probing is done in
order to get rid Of something that
would inture. And SO, as Prebendary
Webster has said: "Do not be afraid
Of Gods probing. He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex.
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
you; do not be afraid Of his probing. !"
Most Of US have been afraid of 1t; we
may be dreading 1t just now. We shall
not fear II we remember what kind Of
love Is back Of 1t: that all-sacrificing
love that died for us on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves 20
utterly into his hands and ask those
nail-pierced hands to do with us what
they will. Then he can begin to show
us his love as we may never yet have
known the meaning Of love.-Sunday

CHAPTER XIV,
A Strong Man Armed.


Smith put his elbows ON the desk
and propped his head In his hands.
1t was not the attitude of detection !:
1t was rather a trancelike rigor Of
concentration, with each and all Of the
newly emergent powers once more
springing alive to answer the battle
call. At the desk-end Starbuck sat
with his hands locked over one knee,
too disheartened to roll a cigarette,

WAR HEAD ADVISES SCOUTS

Every boy with Imagination must
feel thrills running up and down his
spine when he thinks how stupendous
are the days through which he Is pass
ing. The world has never before been
engaged in such a war as that into
which now most Of the great nations
are plunged.
But how can the American boy best
serve his country in this crisisf Eng.
land is having a bitter experience with
her boys. Police regulations are re-
laxed. the streets are darkened, the
schools are closed to release boys for
labor. and these things are all having
their effect ON the morals Of the boys.
This has been the case all over Europe,
and already the leaders in all countries
are planning how to overcome the ter.
rifying effect Of the great war on the
young children, whose minds are al.
ready accepting slaughter and pillage
as the normal course Of life.
Secretary Of War Baker sends this
word to the boys Of the United States
through the Boy Scouts Of America:
THE fellow who quits on his work
now, who loafs and makes nuisance OF
himself, Is not q good American no
matter how many parades he watches

For one little instant Smith felt the

and gracious. slow to anger. and plsn-
teous in mercy.-Psalms 10a3.
A profitable way to spend the hour
would be to make q study OF Daniefa
prayer a. recorded in the lesson A.
signed for our reading today. and have
the lessons Of the quarter a. illustra-
lions Of the goodness and severity OF
God. Announcement OF the plan may
be made the Sunday before. and the
different lessons Of the quarter as
signed to different members Of the
class to tell how they bear upon the
topic Of the lesson for this week. A
broad analysis Of Daniels prayer is n
follows:
.. Confession of the Natlon's Sine
(vv. 8 3:15). The circumstances OF this
prayer were extraordinary. The crisis
was 80 serious that Daniel sought after
prayer to the Lord with fasting, sack
cloth and ashes. In his confession the
peoples sins are placed in contrast
with Gods righteousness He acknowl-
edges that their sorrows and sufferings
Justly belong to them. Daniel, the
holy man against whom there is no
record of wrongdoing. includes himself
with his people.
u. suppIIeatIon for Mercy and For
elveness wv. 1919. He pleads for
Gods anger and fury to turn away, and
his remembrance Of the Holy City and
his chosen people. The Lords honor
was at stake. He confesses that Israel
had no merit, were utterly destitute of
rghteouness. and pleads consideration
on the ground Of covenant relationship.
Another way to conduct the review
would be to ask different members OF
the class to report on the different les
sons by giving the vital and central
teaching Of each. The following are
suggested as vital teachings Of the
several lessons:
Lesson /. God IL absolutely holy,
therefore those who have been sancti-
fed by fire from the heavenly altar are
qualified for his service.
Lesson 2. He who turns away from
the Lord shall be Judged by the Lord.
Lesson 8. In Hezekiah's reformatory
work the Passover Feast was restored,
showing that the only way to get peo-
pie to return to God is to gather them
around the Cross Of Christ-the Atone
ment by Blood.
Lesson 4. Though our unfaithfulness
and cowardice have shamefully humili-
ated us, we should turn to God In
prayer.
Lesson 5. Gods gracious invitation
Is extended to all without money and
without price.
Lesson 6. No matter how wicked one
may have been in his anostasy from
God, II he sincerely repents, God will
be found of him.
Lesson Z. Regardless Of ones age
and experience, God can use him in
doing mighty work II he will but open
his heart unto him.
Lesson 8. The Word Of God found
and read will nightly convict Of sin,
and transform ones life and environ
ment.
Lesson 9. Gods predictions as to the
captivity Of Israel were fulfilled to the
letter. Nothing shall fail Of that
which God has said he will do.
Lesson 10. Jehovah is the shepherd
Of captive Israel, and will surely gather
them out from their wanderings and
save them.
Lesson II. One should be unflinch.
ingly loyal to God under all circup.
stances.
Lessons II and 13. God is able to de-
liver those who trust him, from Ere
and from wild beasts.
