Martha Jane sat between her two
aunts and read the paper In the lamp
light Even the reading OF an evening
paper was In the aunts opinion, n con-
ccssion TO frivollty. Their constant lis
cipline upon this point had imbued
their dependent young niece with the
idea that every desirable thing must be
frivolous.
One following the routine Of Martha
James busy day would scarcely have
called her dependent, but the girls
gratitude for her "upbringing" had
been shown In unceasing obedience to
the elder women's wishes. Other girls
had been courted and married, other
girls wore pretty fancy dresses and
dainty, high-heeled shoes. Martha
Jane went quietly about In sensible
gray. with shoes bought for service.
She glanced now with q smOtheredl
sight. from the CLINT Of her aunts' busy
needles to the concentrated frowns
upon their faces, then listlessly turned
back 20 the paper. There would be at
least the pleasure OF the daily short
love story. What was love like; she
wondered Then Martha james eye
fell upon an appealing letter. II was
published beneath the heading of

THEY HAVE SOMETHING COMING

According to advices, the five Would-be sol d;ers who were taken into custody a short time ago at Fort Seward. Hanes, Alaska. and taken to Fort Lawton. Washington for trial charged with plotting to destroy the garrison; have had their trial and the findings of the court sent to be reviewed by higher official.
 The stealing of arms and ammunition having been admitted by the men-Whether theT were found guilty or the gravest charge or not. which was the intention to destroy life and property; they have something coming. But in the event they were found guilty as charged on al the counts; they are not likely to be given another chance to repeat their attempt.
 It takes all kinds of peoples to make world; and in q world soldiers are included. But while in appearance these men were soldiers; they were not at heart nor by nature. \ true soldier does not plot against innocents Nor does he des troy property wantonly; unless it is the proper :. Of an enemy who is fghting openly. How more manly would they have shown themselves lad they come out in their true colers and acknowledged they were for the Germans. They -rere not without knowing that ii cauqht in their rlot they would pay the penalty. Either with their liberty or life. Whatever the findings of the court may be- for attempting to follow bar barians' warfare, like their friends and towards across the waters, they have something coming.

The easiest way to evade the effect of the eight hour law is for a man to work the pres cribed eight-hourS and if he wants to continue his task all he has to do is to assert that he is merely playing or amusing himself, and he can continue to play indefinitely. With us, we peg away for eight hours, which we call working. The next eight hours or more, we call play. For haven't the wise ones told us repeatedly that real hard work is nothing but play? and that it all depends on the state of mind. The law does not prohibit anyone from playing. And there you are. If an employer can convince his en- ploye that whatever overtime he puts in over the eight hours, is play both side-step the law with impunity. It is evident that our friends across the way have not thought of that If +hey had. they might have been playing part of the nights since the law went into effect

4 WISE DECISION

The decision of the Bureau of Fisheries to close the Copper River commercial fishing is wise one. and that will with the appreciation of all who have the welfare Of Alaska heart. Of late years the
 lives around Copper Center and other towns and villages tributary the Copper have complained that they unable put up fish for themselves account Of numbers of at the mouth of the river pre- venting the fish from ascending. Years ago salmon plentiful these points that they fairly choked the streams. Today one scarcely sees fish. In another few years salmon in the Copper will be caribou in the streets of city They will all be externinated. There plenty of water fish in this vicinity without taking all the spawning fish from the rivers Commercial greed fast depicting the stock of fish in Alaskan unless something Is done it will be late The natives depend upon these fish for their winters food well food for their sled dogs and unless they receive sufficient supply annually face starvation.-Valdez Prospector.

FRANCES CONTRIBUTION TO ITALY

 Why don't the allies help Italy?" Is question heard since the Italian disaster. Speaking for of them.

One of the most pertinent questions that will soon be asked will be what part of Russia is the real Russia? Or what bunch Of Russians are the real Russians The unsettled state of that country makes the answers to the questions irrossible at the present time; and before it is settled it may be called Greater Japan..' You never can tell.

With some, there is no loyalty lost One Of the tendencies of wartime is for some in- fated egotists to imagine they have 9 monopoly on all the loyalty and patriotism in the country. They talk about this man or that man with hints of disloyalty. The prudent man and the true patriot is slow to accuse another of dislovalty or lack Of patriotism. There are too many baseless runlors aioat in such times anyhow Disloyalty to the country is a pretty serious charge to make against any man, and we should be careful.

One good woman aked: You are tired of turmoil? You want to escape the din and strife? Then learn that the only peace that is full or rest that means poise and calm energy, is inward peace. If the good woman could convince Hoover of this assertion he might rescind his order to Hooverize. Not until she does that shall we expect inward peace because we arr disturbed only inwardly since Hooverizing wa put to practice in our home. And we can't help ourseli either The disturbance is there

A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep you, hair in good

contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp makes the hair brittle, and is very

soap or anything else you can use for sham
poolng as this can't possibly iniure the

and rub it IN. One or two teaspoonfuis
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle OF dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine

 Arrivals of corn in Chicago alone aggregated 615 cars and there was a general disposition to look for con tinual movement far above the aver age for this time of the year. Mean while the United States visible supply tctal showed an increase of more than 2,3oO,0O0 bushels, making the amount In sight only 1,4oo,o00 bushels less than a year ago. Absence of export demand was ascribed to the fact that recent urgent buying had been to get all the corn possible by March 10 in order to fill vessel room contracted fer. A general embargo on shipments to eastern domestic consumers con- tiGued further as a bearish influence.
 Notable progress of seeding made oats average lower. A little export business gave the market some stim- ulus but the effect failed to last.
 Lower quotations on hogs weakened provisions. Declines were checked somewhat though by the weeks heavy exports of lard and meats.
