Boy Foregoes Ice Cream, Bride Forgets
Her New Forks To Invest in War STAMPS

A fve-year-old, in full regmental
uniform, stepped up to the War Saw
ing Stamp booth at Best's yesterday,
with salute and dead halt. Then he
produced 5O-cent piece.
81 got so cents" he announced.
"Twesnty-.five for stamp and twenty
five for ice cream cones"
The stamp and the thrift card were
handed to him, and he seized both
eagerly, and and pasted in the stamp,
regarded his work lovingly, and then
looked at his remaining quarter again.
Gee, | want another" he said. And
then, with fine bravado, "Kinda tired
OF ice cream cones, anyway"
One little bride is sacrificing her am
bstion for silver salad forks to tn.
drive for thrift stamps.
~ was saving all my new money for
salad forks" she said to a friend yes
terday, as she handed over a shining
quarter to y Boy Scout, "but I'll have
to forget them, l guess, until after the
war. Every time I put a quarter awav
feel guilty"
A tiny girl in front of the Library
yesterday was trying to sell stamps
from her post high on the steps, but a
crowd Of older boys were keeping the
business pretty we'll in their own
hands, so that she was piping away by

herself most of the time. She was
beginning to be quite discouraged, and
her little face was clouded with dis
appointment and fatigue when small
gallant out shopping with his mother
spied her from the sidewalk. He
rushed up to her, thrust a quarter in
her hand and seized a stamp from her
small, sticky fingers.
Thought l might as we'll buy one,"
he explained to his mother in what
was meant to be a nonchalant tone,
and he turned around to wave at the
little girl, who was still wondering
how the amazing sale was made.
"Buy stamp, buy stamp!" The
salesman in front of Reed & Barton's
evidently thought his cry was becom-
ing tiresome, for the next moment he
was saying: "Come on and help sell
if you can't buy One or the other.
Don't be a Stacker" And he actually
did recruit one assistant that wav
II have a stamp. son. see?"
The kindly gentleman stopped to
show his credentials to the small bow
III front of Bonwit Teller's. But the
small boy was one of those modern
ones.
"Sure, but if you had one shoe you'd
buy another. wouldn't you? Come on,
mister, thrift stamps come in flocks'
not alone"
The man bought his "fock."

Kotzebue, Alaska. July (By mail)
Native school teachers are urging
Alsaka Eskimos to give their children
surnames in order that ancestry may
be traced and families kept together.
Eskimos at present do not use fam
lily names and as result one cannot
trace his family tree back more than
one or two generations.
"In every Eskimo family each per-
son has separate name, so we cannot
trace our forefathers more than one
or two generations" said Charles Men
adalock, native teacher of the Kotze-
bue school, in an article he recently
wrote on the subject.
"We Eskimos call ourselves Emu
peak" Mendalook added. "It means
"a real human being White men are
called 'Nalluakaemuit,' which in Eng
lish means People who come from
white tan sealskin.' Our forefathers
gave the white people that name be-
cause of the color of their skin.
eve may be given a name by the
white people, but that will not be &
real name to us. We must use oul
'Epuneak' name for our last name."

Imperfect Land Titles.


Heirs claim N. A. Ross cannot make
good titles to properties he holds in
his name as his, for the following rea-
sons:
He and our mother owned a general
store in Tennessee, of which she owned
two-thirds and he one-third, run un-
der the name of N. A. Ross & Co.
Mother died and no settlement or pro-
baton of the estate was ever ade.
He continued the business under above
name about year, when he dropped
the Company" from the firm name,
without any right to do so, running
the business under his own name.
He moved the business to Kentucky
and added saw milling and made
some money and collected on the
firms accounts, of which there were
several thousand dollars owing the
firm, and added to it. He then moved
back 20 Tennessee and engaged ir the
coal mining business with Mr.. Fet-
terman, succeeded, sold out and moved
back to Kentucky and operated there
three coal mines and made good mon
ey; then moved to California and in
vested in Imperial Valley, Huntington
Park, Hollywood, Riverside, and the
estate of my mother has never been
probated or settled and her claim for
two-thirds of the estate is even more
valid than is his for one-third. from
the fact that he has drawn his family
expenses from the business for several
years, and was not to have salary
for managing the business. as the one
third interest was given him if he
would manage it. So he would Justly
owe the estate for all his expenses
Mother owned the home
place, a farm, which was sold about
eleven years ago, and he kept the mon
ey, and some of the heirs did not know
it was sold until | told them two or
three years ago. We did not want
this estate further involved with mo t.
cages nor do we want buyers to ret
mixed with bad titles and cause
more litigation. Therefore take this
notice. He likes TO be guardian, with
all the family under his thumb.
