BACK HOME STUFF
Uncle Jimmie Helker

Uncle Jimmie Helker took care of all the
sick back home. He walked to town from
Clay Center every morning, rain or shine,
and he always had the same greeting for
every man. 1t was: "Howdy, brother;
howdy?"
Uncle Jimmie had heavy beard He
never cut the nails on his little fingers.
When he was not attending the sick he
used to lay fagstone pavements or work
as cutter at the marble yard
Around Clay Center and Buck Ridge
some of the older people, including Granny
Heisner, said it was Uncle Jimmie Helker
who tied the bell on the buzzard that was
heard at different times through Indiana.
Ohio and Kentucky, and about which Irwin
Cobb wrote his famous story
Uncle Jimmie was the first man to- go
aboard the steamer John Porter when the
packet brought yellow fever back home and
started the plague in the Ohio Valley. He
was quarantined on the steamer and wa.
there for ninetysix days. Doctor Crom-
lish used to leave medicine on the river
bank and Uncle Jimmie would row in at
midnight and take it back.
After young Ben Caldsh inherited his
money and got to drinking and using drugs
Uncle Jimmie appointed his guardian,
and they were always together until young
Caldish taken to the state asylum.
Uncle Jimmie finally got to acting queer.
He tried to walk in from Clay Center one
night during the blizzard and froze his
feet. He used to go to the Baptist church
and would get up and talk in rambling
way. He finally got so feeble he couldn Y
leave his house. Nobody ever went to see
him except Chot Young, the rural mail
carrier. DOM

GERMANS DO NOT BELIEVE PRESIDENT
 IS IN EARNEST YET

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Ignorance displayed by German agents in Switz- erland concerning the war prepara- tions of the United States was de- scribed in an address here by Dr. Hugh Birckhead, Rector of Emanual eled extensively in Europe as rep resentative of the American Red Cross
 Dr. Birckhead said the German agents appeared glad to talk to an American. They told him that the United States had been terribly de- ceived by England and France" and that the present policy of Germany is mot to annoy America, as she is not in earnest"
 The American army raised in one year is not sufficient enough to cope with the German machine of 40 years training" Dr. Birckhead said the German agents told him. The American soldiers are amateurs. Your rulers are. assembling a force to meet the inevitable conflict with Japan President Wilson is Pa cifist He will withdraw at any time We are bringing to bear pow erful influence on your government today Our agents are working day and night. You an American, don't know as much about your govern ment as we do. We are informed of every move"

Several Thousand Hatch- ing Eggs Will Be Vast ed Unless Funds Are
 ForthCOminu.
INSTANT ACTION NEEDED
Juneau Commercial Club Is VoiCing An Appeal to Governor of
 Territory.

At this time when the nation is conserving food. the Juneau Com mercial Association is directing an appeal to the Governor to save sev- eral thousand matching eggs The money asked for means many times the value of the original in food val ues. The letter to the Governor is as follows:
 February Fist, 1918. Hon. J. F. A Strong, Governor of Alaska, Juneau.
 Sir:
 At a regular meeting of this Asso citation held today the question of l procuring funds with which to carry on the work of fish culture being fostered by the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Club was discussed at length. Investigation of the prop aganda of this organization revealed the fact that the Clubs membership is about two hundred and sixty per sons who pay annual dues of $1.00 each, making the clubs total annual income $260.00. Their treasury is at present depleted, having expend- ed all their available funds for rent, light, heat, etc.
 Mir. Sprague, who has been in charge of the propagation of fish for local distribution during the past year has received no compensation for his services. He is now engaged in matching two hundred thousand western brook trout eggs recently re ceived from the Bureau of Fisher ies. In addition to these there are at present in the hatchery troughs containing over forty thousand native cut throat fry and one hundred thou sand sockeye salmon fry which have to be fed until such time as ice con ditions will permit of their liberation or planting. The eastern brook trout now being matched will require feed ing until they can be liberated and in the meantime expenses for hatch cry rent and other necessary items must be met or we will be compelled
 
 .ganization's efforts fail to lose the eggs now in process of matching com pletely.
 Our association has looked into the matter carefully and according ly the undersigned has been dele gated to address you with the end in view of getting an appropriation of one thousand dollars out of any emergency funds available with which to meet current expenses and those which might arise during the next six months. The question of funds to meet running expenses is of immediate importance and will bear of no delay or equivocation. either the funds must be forthcom ing at once, or the work must be dis continued.
 It is not compatible to the public interest that such an economic waste as above contemplated, take place and it therefore seems entirely prop CT and fitting that any public funds available for emergency needs of such a character be allotted to the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Club, a quasi public institution to complete the work in hand This club is representative of the business and professional interests of this part of Alaska and is absolutely de void of any private or personal in tentions or end.
 Trusting you will give this i'm portant subject favorable considera- tion at once, I am with thanks in advance,
 Yours respectfully, C. GOLDSTEIN,
