 AT RICHARDSON
 GETS SLACKERS

That the officials of the outlying districts of the Fourth division are vigilant in the prosecution of their duties and take every means of en- forcing them is made apparent by the report received from A. J. Grif. fin, United States commissioner at Richardson, in communication to a friend in Fairbanks.
 He recites the incidents surround ing the arrest of Henning and Oscar Olson, two brothers who have un- savory reputations as far as patrio- tism is concerned, on the charge of being slackers. Henning is recog. nized as being a bad agitator and an anarchistic socialist, according to the word received.
 Both these men had been work ing in the Tenderfoot district last summer and left to go to the Out side in the latter part of August. Previous questioning on the part of the commissioner as to their ages led to his receiving evasive answers which aroused his suspicious. Inves tigation led to the discovery of their rightful ages. and he proceeded to take action against them as being slackers. All officials were informed and given a description of the men. All steamboat agents, road house keepers, railroad foremen and road masters were advised to keep a look out for these two men.
 From the U. s. marshal at Valdez Grimm received information that Hen ming had been taken into custody while working in that district under an assumed name and was held for the grand jury at Valdez. From Se- attle at a later date he was advised that Oscar had been arrested there, fined and permitted to register. It later developed that the ages of the men were 29 and 25 respectively.

 Grades and 6 had a terrible time deciding whether they would adopt a girl or a boy and of what age. number of names were submitted to them by the treasurer. and they finally chose a 10-year-old girl, cause they thought nobody else would want to take one THAT OLD." Miss Carpenter, their teacher, made the rash offer one Monday morning that she would give to their orphan mon- ey double the amount that any pupil could earn during the week. Friday night she had the pleasure of pot latching 5000 due to the efforts of Iris Hinckley, who earned $500 for the orphans. Even without that ten dollars from teacher" the boys and girls of that room are Donors" of the amount required to support one child for a year, as they contributed s10.25 during the Christmas drive.
 Most of the maraines and parrains had well.defned notions as to what certain child or children they wished to support, but generally the choice hinged on a similar name, similar birthday or familiar locality, name or street given in the address es. One parrain wanted fve-year- old girl, the age of his own little brother. One marraine wished two in the same family, boy and girl. the boy little older than the girl 50 he will look after his sister" The Boys Bible Class of St. Mat thew's desired boy of scout age, they being nearly all members of the Fairbanks Patrol of the Boy Scouts. ALL were found on the list. It is rumored that other families of Fair banks are only awaiting the arrival of a second list of destitute children to choose their favorites for adop- tion. No contribution of less than s3650 entities the giver to the name and address of French orphan, and no child can be adopted for less than a year, or for any part of a second year. The Donor" must give s3650 or any multiple of that sum to be- come a "Marraine" or a "Parrain." Three dollars a month or 75 cents week would hardly be missed by the majority of the residents of Interior Alaska. Why not send in YOUR name to the treasurer.

Some interesting facts gleaned
 from the pamphlets and literature sent from the New York headquarters of The Fatherless Children of France:"
 The American Society for the Re lief of French War Orphans has been absorbed by the American Red Cross, leaving "The Fatherless Children of France" an independent association, instead of Gas formerly) branch of the American Society.
 It is the policy of the executive committee to maintain the children in their own homes, to be brought up by their mothers in the religion of their fathers, and to establish such a personal relationship between the Donor" and the child that the Donor" will not only be assured that his money reaches it's proper desti- nation. but also may correspond with the child of its mother. The orphan adopted receives the name and ad. dress of the Donor"
 It is the unbroken and unbreakable rule that NOT ONE CENT of the money subscribed shall be spent for expenses, but the FULL AMOUNT subscribed shall be paid to the child. All expenses of the committee are paid from voluntary donations for that purpose, or from sales, enter. |tainments, etc.
 The local committee forward once a month the money subscribed, along with the list of the children assigned. The money is deposited with Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co.,, and transmitted to France by cable.
 The Paris committee of The Path. erless Children of France" is located at 110 rue de Grenelle The office and the great majority of the em. ployees are loaned to the committee by the French government, so that the expenses are practically nothing, and are more than covered from the favorable rate of exchange and in- terest on deposits.
 Any child living in its own home, under sixteen years of age, whose father has lost his life in this war and who is certified to be in need, is eligible for support. The names are listed and as rapidly as possible are catalogued and sent to the executive committee in New York which, in turn. distributes them amongst the local committees.
 The quarterly payment of 45 francs is sent from the Paris office by post. office money order. which bears the name of the Donor" as we'll as the name and address of the orphan. These postoffice orders are kept on record. Should the child not be with the family at the address given. post men are instructed to return the or der to the Paris office which investi. gates at once.
