FLORIDA HAS FISH THAT
FIGHT LIKE GAME BOOSTERS

You have heard of game chickens
and of game fish, but have you ever
heard of fish that were so game that
they would fight like game ROSTERS.
Lucian York, we'll known Albanian,
is just back from a fishing trip to
Florida with the best fish story Of
the season. He says that fishing is so
good this year that you can look down
into the limpid water and see the fish
engaged in mortal combat to see which
one shall take the bait.
He tells of two catfish which wanted
the bait on his line at the same time,
and of how they fought in the water,
using the spurs as weapons, until
one was gashed in the side and the
victor obligingly swallowed hook,
line and sinker.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
CBY FRANCES M'MATH.)


Athletics was the main activity at
, school last week. But also three dis
tinguished men were visitors to the
school. They were Superintendent Ma
this, Rev. ]. B. Lawrence and Judge
Emory Speer, of Macon.
| On Wednesday, Mr.. Mathis con-
Quoted chapel exercises and gave the
students very kindly talk. "Courte-
sy and Truthfulness," two of the great
est little things of life was his sub
iecY, and with characteristic clear
ness Mr.. Mathis pointed out how these
two virtues will help us always, every
where.
Mr.. Lawrence paid his regular week
" visit to school Thursday and was
with us during chapel exercises.
Friday afternoon, under the auspices
Of the U. d. c., Judge Emory Speer
delivered an grafton commemorative
of Robert E. Lee and his brave Con-
federate soldiers. Judge Speer is him
self veteran and much of his ad-
dress, descriptive of battles, pictures
of Confederate leaders and soldiers,
was taken from personal experience.
A large audience heard him and
among those present we're the soldiers
of the past and the soldiers of the
future-the grey-haired heroes of the
Sixties and the cadets of the High
school,
We had half holiday on Lees birth
day and consequently had no Literary
society program. Next Friday Soph-
omore B will have charge of the en-
tire program and it bids fair to be a
very interesting one We always well
come visitors and urge large num-
Der to be present Friday at l o'clock.
A junior remarked the other day
that basket ball was the 'sublimest'
word in the lexicon of youth. And
many of us agree with him.
Wednesday afternoon the High
school team met the A NJ. C. team
and carried off the laurel with score
of 81 to IL in favor of the A. H. s.
Friday night the Albany five met
the Americas team at the Y. NJ. c. A,
with Dunnaway, center; Andrews and
Monohan, guards; Davenport and
Webb. forwards, the High school play
cd a good game, and are not wholly
responsible for the score. The teams
we're about evenly matched and the
game was good-all good. as an Amer
icus spectator said, except the score.
Score: SO to II, favor of Albany High
school.

UNITED STATES MARINE
CORPS ARE SPLENDID SHOTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Declara-
tions that since the days of frontier
life have passed, Americans are no
longer entitled to their former fame as
rifiemen are completely refuted by
statistics. say officers of the U. S.
Marines. These officers recently COM
piled data showing that splendid
shooting qualities are still character
istic of American troops.
More than seventy-three per cent. of
the 6,141 members of the United States
Marine Corps who fired during 1916.
Oh the fourteen Marine Corps rifle
ranges, are qualified skilled rifemen,
according to the table just compiled.
OF these sea soldiers, 921, or fourteen
per cent, are expert rifemen; 1,044, or
seventeen per cent, are sharpshooters;
and 2,51S, or forty-one per cent. are
marksmen.
1t is doubtful if Misunderstanding
himself could outshoot them, say the

THE ALCAZAR

1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah" is at the
Alcazar Monday.
No story of the West has had a
greater success in its dramatic form
than THE Heir to the Hoorah."
Three Western mining men, joint
owners of a great mining property,
conceive the curious idea that there
must be an heir to the mine which is
called THE Hoorah." They are all
bachelors and the idea of marriage ap
peals to none of them. Lots are cast
and the youngest one is chosen to
marry. He is taken to many places
where choice could be made of wife,
but finds no one to suit his fancy. 1t
so happens that an Eastern society girl
arrives in the mining town just when
the young fellow has given up his
search. He is attracted by the young
woman who in turn is attracted by the
wealth of the miner They marry, but
the difference in their social stations
assert themselves very quickly, the
union proves a failure and the hus-
band leaves the wife. After he leaves
child is born. When he learns of
this fact he hastens back and the child
brings about a happy understanding
ard lasting happiness.

BODY AND FOOD is
LIKE A FURNACE

Consider the furnace. Theoretically
this is a machine for the economical
production of heat. If the proper
amount of the proper kind of fuel is
| properly put into it, if the ashes are
properly cleaned out, if the drafts are
properly managed, the chances are that
it vii! heat the house properly. If, on
the other hand, too much or too little
fuel is put into it. if the fuel contains
too much non-inflammable material, if
the fire is not kept clean of ashes, or
| if the hampers are badly regulated,
| the furnace operates inefficiently or
ceases working altogether. Perhaps,
the most important thing, next to put
ting in the fuel, is to clean out the
ashes. If these are allowed to accum-
ulate in the ash put, the CRATE bars
may be burned out.
Food is taken into the human body
for the purpose of producing heat.
The standard of it's value is the num-
Der of heat units it contains. If too
little fuel is taken into the human body
an insufficient number of heat units
to operate it are received, and it
works inefficiently. If, on the other
hand, too great an amount of food is
taken, the body becomes clogged and
works just as inefficiently as if it had
received too small an amount. The
most important thing is to remove all
of the waste materials remaining after
the food has given up its heat units.
If too great an amount of this debris
is allowed to remain the fires of the
body are in danger Of being put out by
these poisonous materials. he eTlim-
nation of these materials is one of
the functions of the intestinal canal.
One of the requisites of good health is
an educated intestinal apparatus. Per-
haps this is even more important than
an educated set of brains. Certainly,
an educated set of brains cannot work
effectively. SO long as the intestinal
apparatus is badly operated.
Man in our present state of civiliza-
ton is obliged to pay particular atten-
ton to functions which in a state of
nature took care of themselves. A ro
bust man engaged in active exercise in
the open air may commit fietary in
discretions which would be exceeding !
ly harmful to a sedentary worker. Ex-
ercise as part of the daily life is
however, absolutely necessary for both.
Plain, wholesome food is just as nee
essary for the brain worker as for |
him who labors with his hands. Above
all, both must keep the human furnace
we'll shaken down and without accum-
ulatoin of ashes and debris in order
that the fires of life may burn bright
ly and steadily.

If one expects to fight f-0s5 this
spring, the pruning may be put into
little piles throughout the orchard
Make about hundred piles to the acre
On these piles, leaves or any other lit
tel can be put so that the fuel for MAX
ing a smudge will be on hand if it is
necessary. If the piles are not used the
rIuning should b gotten out of the
orchard or the piles burned in place
after all danger of frost is past. If one
has no fuel prepared for frost fighting
it is too late to get it when the night o
the frost arrives.

ORCHARD NOTES.

Pruning should be finished this
month 1t is a good plan to start prun-
ming imediately after the holidays and
stay at it until it is finished. If the
pruning is put off too long the spring
will open up before one is expecting it
and then more important things will
demand the attention of the grower to
the detriment of the pruning.

AL-kI IS A
 TOTAL LOSS

Juneau. During a binding snowstorm and with strong northwest gale blowing, the steamer Al-Ki, of the Seattle s. s. Co.,, went ashore on point Gus tavus at 12:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Passengers were immediately put into the lifeboats and after a few hours were picked up by the San Juan and later were transferred to the government boat Burnside and brought to Juneau. The ship began to sag and settle badly and was abandoned by the cap tain as a total loss Thursday night.
 The Al-ki struck a rock near Point Augustus, longitude 138 degrees and latitude about 5S de- grees 20 minutes, at the entrance to Glacier bay and about 80 miles from Juneau. A terrific wind, which was coming from the northwest, swept the ship side. ways and caused the accident.
 When abandoned the Alki was sitting on a pinnacle of rock amidship with the bow and stern in deep water. The backbone of the ship was broken and the boat was sagging so badly it was un- safe for anyone to stay on board.
 The Al-Ki had 21 tons of coal and other general merchandise for Sitka which were lost. She was one of the oldest ships on 5he run in southeastern Alaska, and has been a money maker for .ler owners.
 The Portland and the Al-Ki ! were sister ships and as a Strange coincidence they were both wrecked, though in different years, in the same month. The same purser was in both Wrecks and also MT. J. C. Moulton who travels for the Seattle Hardware Go. Our reporter asked MT. Moulton who was the hoodo, and he replied, Tt must have been the purser or myself

The above will be of much in- terest to the readers of the Sen- tinel.
 The bride is a Wrangell girl who has lived here all her life except during the time she was in college. She is a very beautiful young woman, cultured and refined, and will make a premium wife.
 Hugh Chilberg, the groom, has visited Wrangell several times. He is d man who is young enough to have his future before him. He is a son of J. E. Chilberg, one of the most successful business men on the Pacific coast who is president of the Scandinavian American bank of Seattle, and also president of a chain of banks in Alaska extending from Ketchikan to Nome.
 The Seattle Times of Novem- Der 4 contains a picture of the bride which is two-thirds of a page in depth.
 The Seattle paper says that Mr. and Mrs. Chilberg will re- ceive the congratulations of a host of friends in Seattle and elsewhere. Elsewhere" means WrangelI, the home of the bride. where she has a host of friends and is universally beloved.
