fight Nell and her father and the big
man, too. She could not overcome
them with force, and she had no weap-
on but her five wits, and they had new
er been trained to such problems.
She was as helpless before them ~
she had been when she was little
ffteen-year-old filly at Palm Beach and
her governess had given her q problem
In algebra (a-b)x(a-b)-? She had
stared at that riddle a. she stared at
this one.
Doctor Royce had happened along
then and smiled at the easy task. He
could probably solve this problem. too,
but he was not here. She was alone
and the solution depended solely on
her.
She thought and thought while Nell
cleared the table. She offered to help
Nell and was permitted to aid in the
work. When the last dish was re-
moved to the wash basin Gloria and
Nell took opposite ends of the coarse
tableclOth. When it was folded twice
the two girls began to bring the two
ends together, as people do who are
folding tablecloths.
Nell stopped short at the proper mo-
ment; Gloria went toward her. The
solution came to her in q flash. In
stead Of putting the two ends Of the
tablecloth in Nell's fingers, she sudden
" whipped the cloth over her head,
brought 1t down around her elbows
and, after . furious struggle, forced
Nell back into q chair and knotted
the tablecloth corners under the arms.
She snatched a pair Of dish towels
from the wall and tied Neu's feet to
the legs Of the chair. Nell fought like
mad woman In q straitjacket, but the
knots held. N
Gloria was out Of breath, but she
was proud - Punch over her victory.
She stood up painting and exclaimed:
"Well!"
So far % good. But there was still
Trask to settle with, and Jed, also.
She had not tablecloths enough for all
three, and she doubted II she could
hoodwink those giants In the same
way.
Another scheme occurred to her.

She had noticed Nell poking up the nre
in the little stove. Now Nell was
quieting down and It was safe to leave
her.
She ran to the stove. lifted the lid
and set the poker in the red Goals.
It was a grand idea and she was tre-
mendously enthusiastic. But the polk
er was not. It was in no hurry what
ever. They say that watched poker
never glows. Gloria heard somebody
working at the hatch before the poker
had attained as much blush as hard
ened sinner feels on his cheek at lit
tie mistake.
She heard Trask's footsteps. She
could see his feet on the stairway.
She stared at the poker and whis-
pered: 'Hurry up" The poker was
in no hurry.
Trask paused to call Jed, then he
began to come down the stairway.
Gloria was stupefied to see how much
there was of him. His face appeared
last of all and it appalled, her. He
carried rope In his hand.
Trask did not see Gloria at first.
But he caught sight Of the animated
bolster in the rocking chair and it
frightened him. He stared back. But
a muf1led shrek came from the depths.
"Pa! Pa! It's me! She did it!'
Trask understood that the witch

feats and he was sure that he was un-
der the vOodOo. Then he saw Gloria
standing by the stove. She looked so
small and so timid that he regained
courage. He roared at Gloria and
moved toward Nell. Gloria cried:

Being Used Here For Flour

Since April of this year wheat and
wheat flour have been important in
greatly increased quantities from
Canada This is attributed princi-

Canada removed the duty on wheat
imported into that country, which
action automatically admitted Cana

WEBB MEASURE IS PASSED BY
 TIE SENATE:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 The Webb export bill to legalize com binations of American exporters in promoting their foreign commerce was passed by the Senate 51 to II.
 President Wilson in his recent ad- dress to Congress urged enactment of the measure, which was passed last June by the House and now goes to conference.
 Business organizations have very strongly supported the bill, which is the first step in the domestic legislative program recently out lined by the President.
 The measure provides that prohl- biti0ns of the Sherman and Clayton antitrust laws against combinations for foreign selling shall not be en- forced, provided trade in this coun- try is not thereby restrained and that no agreements shall be made or acts done which artificially or the natural consequences of which enhances or depresses prices within the United States or commodities exported
 Opposition to the bill, led in the Senate by Senators Cummins and Reed, was based principally on the argument that virtually it would re peal provisions of tho antitrust laws as to foreign commerce. It's adyo- cates urged it as necessary so that American exporters may be placed in position to compete with strongly organized or government established competitors of Europe
 An amendment by Senator Cum mins to authorize only the mainten- ace abroad of American joint selling agencies was rejected 43 to 18
 Senators voting against the meas ure on final passage were: Demo- crats Hitchcock. King, Reed, Tram mell, and Vardaman, 5. Republicans -Borah Cummins. Gronna, Kenyon, La Toilette and Morris, 6.
 Prompt agreement of the confer ees is expected to end a long fight For five years the legislation has been agitated. The House twice passed it only to have it held up in the Senate The principal pro visions are that the sherman law shall not be construed as forbidding the exporters, combinations and that the Clayton antitrust acts provis- ions shall not forbid ownership by exporters of stock in export asso- citations. The bill also extends au- thority of the federal trade com mission to suppress unfair coinpe- tition in export commerce, giving the commission general supervisory powers over the exporters. organiza- tions and power to prevent acts which would raise or depress prices of products in the United States.

Snow Smashed in Roof of Juneau Dairy Barn. 38 Head of Stock
 Were Inside.
ON MENDENHALL- ROAD
Telephone Message Is Re- CeiVed at the Juneau Office by Pro-
 prlet0r.

w. L. Altemueller of the Juneau Dairy this afternoon received a tele phone message that the roof Of the company's large barn near the Men lehhall road, had caved from the weight of snow and caught 36 head of dairy stock and two horses.
 Mr Altemuellcr was waiting ft more details in order to see if the stock was killed. or perhaps could be rescued, in which case he intend ed to take out volunteer worllmen and see what coeld be done.
 The barn is said to be the largest in Alaska. It is POP feet long. The roof had a considerable slope ard it was not thought that enough snow could remain on top to cause dam age. There is six feet of snow CT the flats
 warning to others to get busy and shovel snow from roofs is cCu- tained in the cavein, since the snow with warmer weather is becoming packed and heavier.
 Most of the stock belonging to the Juneau Dairy Company is housed in tho barn near the city limits Dry" cows and heifers which would be ready to milk in the spring were left in the Mendenhall barn.

Editors Note: The Empire as snres Editor Prichard there was no intention to slight Wrangell. As he says The Empire has called upon him more than once for Wrangell news and it's thanks are especially due him for his prompt response and reliability always.
 As Mir. Prichard knows, even with the Associated Press and the Signal Corps operators and editors all work ing in good faith, mistakes will oc- cur in the best of regulated famil- ies." The dispatch referred to came late in the afternoon in the hurry of getting to press and catching the ferry. The name of Anchorage was repeated twice, with the $2O0 and the $437 credited to Anchorage. The editor not being able to guess the name of the missing town ad- ded "other sources" So there you are.

ABOUT HALIFAX FUND

 Credit.

gel Sentinel is up in arms for the defense of his home town. If there is one thing above another that will made an editor initiate Mt Katmai it is to have q slight placed upon his home town, whether intentional or accidental And this is as it should be. For instance editorially the Sentinel Of Dec 20th says:
 Last week Mayor Matheson re- ceiyed an appeal for aid for the Halifax sufferers. The mayor lost no time in bringing the matter be fore the people of Wrangeu and the next day he cahiel the Canadian Club in Seattle that he was mail ing check for $i97
 ''The Juneau Empire which is an Associated Pressspaper, the next day published the following dispatch from Seattle:
 Seattle, Dee, 14-Alaska has to date subscribed $1,287 for the relief of the Halifax sufferers, handled through the Canadian Club of this city.
 "'The sum of $G5O has been re, ceiyed from Ketchikan $200 from Anchorage and s437 from other sourc- es'
 "'Other sources,'
 "A new name for Wrangell!
 Had a representative of The Em piro arrived in Wrangell last week and begun soliciting subscriptions he would have imagined that he had gotten into a hotbed of Wicker shamites who shared the former Delegates opinion of The Empire For the time being at least The Empire was non grata in Wrangell.
 "Af.er responding so liberally to 2 worthy cause the people of Wran- gell surely had reason to resent hay ing their splendid contribution cred tied to other sources. just as though there was no such a place as Wran gell on the map.
 However, we feel absolutely sure that the publisher of The Empire was not directly responsible for this blunder. We know that The Elm pire has no desire to hand Wrangell lemon The Empire has often cabled to the Sentinel for news from Wrangel and it frequently re- produces items from the columns of the Sentinel giving proper credit.
 Every newspaper is to a greater or less degree at the mercy of it's correspondents. The Wrangell Sen tinel is not a member of the Asso- ciated Press. The Sentinel and the Empire get their news from differ ent sources, and this may have some thing to do with other sources.'
 Tt would be preposterous to sup pose that when the secretary of the Canadian Club furnished the press representative in Seattle with list of the donations from Alaska that he wrote other sources instead of Wrangell
 "The Empire has been victimized. Innocently and unconsciously it has been put in an unfayorable light by correspondent who was small enough to show his petty spite by making ridiculous attempt to snub a town whose big hearted people responded to call of distress with the largest subscription in proportion to population of any city in Alaska
