Patriotic Mother Canny.

When, a few months ago, one of our troop ships was torpedoed there were, of course, many worried mothers. One of them received a cable message teii- ing her of her sons rescue, and was naturally much relieved. But this cable was followed almost immediately by another asking for money by cable.
 The mother of this lad was rather puzzled by the message, as she could not tell if 1t was genuine or not. She did not wish to risk sending a com paratIvely large amount of money to an imposter, so she hit on the plan of sending a return message asking the sender of the first cable to cable the name of the family's two dogs {; names which would only be known to a member of the family.
 The answer with the right names came at once, and the son received the money. He has been boosting or his mothers cleverDess ever since.

BARE TEUTON PLAN TO

New York.-Details of German plans to buy a newspaper in each Of thirty cities in the United States as revealed by George Sylvester Viereck In his examination by Deputy Attorney General Becker have been made public.
 Viereck wanted to spend $5O,OOO' 900 on the country wide newspaper project, and this was discussed at various conferences attended by Dr. Bernhard DernDurg, German propa- ganda chief; Dr. Albert, Ger man financial agent in this coun- try; Dr. Carl A. Fluehr, and others.
 The countrywide project fell through and Dr. Albert and other German officials furnished the mon ey with which pr. Edward A. Rune ly is alleged to have purchased the Evening Mail over the protest Of Yiereck, William Bayard Hale, edit or Of the German propaganda news service here, and others.
 'Is 1t true that jealously exist ed between Hale and Rumely?" Vier eek was asked in his examination by Deputy General Attorney Becker.

GOLD MINER TO
 GET MACHINERY

Clarence Berry, the old Eldorado king who recently visited his min ing properties in the Circle districI upon his return to Dawson report ed to the Dawson News having re ceiyed A telegram a short time ago from the coast stating that the agiF tstion fo- aid for the gold mining industry had resulted in the A merican government deciding that equipment for such mining was ne cessary and to give it preference. This means, Mir. Berry said, that the gold miner will be permitted to secure the material necessary for carrying on his industry. This means a good deal, as in many industries the government has been in the practice of communicating or seiz- ing any machinery it desired, regard less for what purpose or for whom it was ordered. NJ r. Berry also said:
 This arrangement to see that the gold miner De allowed the ma terial required is quite a help, and without it We would be much em- oarrassed, put there might be good deal more done to assist the gold miner at this time. I am glad to See that the Alaskaas are moving ln the matter and that the Ameri- can government is endeayoring to solve the problem. The interest manifested by the federal officials is encouraging. Dawson, being vi tally interested in gold mining, might take up the matter now with advantage with the Canadian goYerh ment.
 My dredge in the Circle district Is working we'll and is in good pay. 1t Is going over ground previously worked Dy the old method. and is doing vel. The Circle hydraulics also are doing well. But 1t must be remembered that gold has lost it's purchasing power, and that an ounc of gold will buy only half what 1t did before the war. The gold min CT Is badly handicapped"

Mir. and Mrs. Fred J.

 In the Weber garden there are today seventy three Varieties of dahlias. There are so plants, and this does not include the other fo- lisge, shrubs or blooming plants. One of the dahlia trees" stands more than Ri@e feet tall, while the writer counted twenyt-siX full blown blossoms on one other plant ex- elusive of numerous buds.
