COupOn Starts Deposit

The First National Bank, Of Miller,
s.. d., a United States depository, has
worked out a plan in which 1t accepts
Liberty Bonds for safe keeping,
whether brought in by a customer, or
a stranger, provided a savings ac-
count of $1.00 or more is opened.
The system is an integral part of
the savings department, in that the
bond deposited is credited in the back
of the pass book. When coupons are
due the bank will credit them to the
depositor's account. An account may
be opened by tearing off a coupon Of
the bond, whether due or not and de-
posting 1t with the bank. In that
case the coupon is credited as cash
and the bond noted in the back of the
passbook. THESE bonds will be in
sured against BURGLARY.
September 18th is Government q
day to all holders Of Az per cen
bonds and this bank believes that it
is somebody's business to give hold
ers of small coupon bonds some meas
ure OF protection.

NOTHING TO BE
 SAIDFOR WHILE

LONDON, May 2S.-When ques- toned regarding the attitude of the house of commons toward the re- cent uprising in Ireland. Bonar Law said today that commons had no in tention of making any statement at present. This question has been given great deal of consideration by the house, but it is not thought necessary to state what conclusions have been arrived at until later date.
 Several leaders of the Sim Fein were arrested in con. nection with the plot for an uprising in Ireland. Among them were the president and the founder of the society. The evidence upon which they were taken into custody also showed that German agents were in- volved in promoting the disturbance. It was discovered that Germany was planning to assist the Irish in their uprising by furnishing guns and mu. nitlons and, if necessary. would send troops to the Irish coast. This has now been frustrated by the arrest of the leaders of the movement.

HINTON HENRY
 CETSONE YEAR
 AND WASLUCKY

In the commissioners court yester- day was heard the case of C. Hinton Henry on the charge of criminal libel. The case was set for trial at 10 o'clock, but a jury could not be SC. cured on the first venire. which de- layed the proceeding until a special venire of five was executed. The jury as finally selected was as fol- lows: J. H. Smith, D. A. Newton, F.. s. Steele, Dan Sheedy, Reese Lloyd, Jack Fallop, C. A. Darr, Fred Car ter, Romeo Hoyt, R. w. Taylor, F. R. Clark and A. A. Kenison.
 The evidence introduced was the letter written by the defendant to Attoreny General Gregory in which was stated the words which consti- tuted the offense: "Mr Roth's as sociates are all pro-German, among them Chief of Police Wiseman, a brother of the German who was hlileu icW AoAluo d6O III hdASuS by a mob for pro.German utter ances." The defendant admitted writing the letter, but stated that it was for the purpose of filing infor- nation.
 The government introduced as wit nesses J. H. Miller, N. R. King and F. c. Wiseman. The witnesses of fered by the defense were Dan Calla- han and the defendant.
 After about an hour of testimony and arguing the case was given to the jury, which, after deliberating for about half an hour, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was pro- nounced almost immediately. Before pronouncing sentence the court read the statutes providing punishment, which Is not less than three months nor more than one, year or not less than $100 nor more than $500. The court then stated that the defendant was lucky that the statute did not have the words "or both" inserted, as he would get the limit. The, sen- tence of the court was one year in the federal jail and the costs of the case. Henry will serve it out.

WOULD PAY ALL
 COMMISSIONERS
 YEARLY SALARY

A movement inaugurated by Geo. J. Love, United States commissioner at Valdez, whereby all commission CTS in Alaska would be put on a salary basis instead of the fee sys- tenn at present in use, is being brought to the attention of Delegate Sulzer at Washington. D. c.
 In writing to the delegate. Com missioner Love sets forth that the offices of the United States marshals and deputies are all under the pay system and that the changing from the fee system has been beneficial and has caused no greater expense to the government.
 The proposed change, as outlined to the delegate, would limit the scope of the commissioner to the juridiction of justice of the peace in the outlying districts. Regarding the commissioners with probate and recording authority, the movement favors the present fee basis. The writer is satisfied that the passage of a law placing U. s. commission CTS on a salary instead of fees would receive the commendation of the judges and the bar, as well as the whole of the citizens, and much better service could be had. This is especially true as regards the Outly- ing districts, which the Tee system hits vitally. It is impossible to get competent person to accept a po- sition as commissioner owing to the small income. With the salary basis in use the best of legal talent could be had for filling the offices and a saving of thousands of dollars to the government would result by the prop CT disposal of cases, many of which have come to naught when heard before competent authority or by the grand juries.
 Judge Brown of the Third divi- sion, is heartily in favor of the pas sage of such a bill, as is also Judge Bunnell of the Fourth.

SCHOOLS
 OF FAIRBANKS
 RANKING HIGH

Tn order to determine the stan- dards of the pupils of the Fairbanks schools. Principal Margaret Keenan subjected the students to a series of tests such as are practiced on the Outside. and the scholars acquit- ted themselves so creditably that the comparisons are worthy of publi- cation. >----l-.-,-s>a
 The method of giving the tests is to introduce the subject to the stu dent without any previous prepara- tion on their part and to take the actual time in minutes and seconds necessary for the pupil to make an- swer in. The weight of the ques- ton carries a percentage of points. which are recorded to the pupils credit. The mind of the student is required to work quickly in order to attain high average.
 The tests held at the Fairbanks schools were 46 in number, and the grades of the school taking the test ranged from the third to the twelfth inclusive. In 41 tests the Fairbanks scores weer higher than those of a corresponding grade on the Outside. In many instances it was found that the students of certain grading here were qualified to take the test applicable to students two grades higher in the schools of the Outside. This is especially true of the lower grades, the percentage in favor of Fairbanks schools decreasing as the grades go higher.
 A comprehensive tabulated grad ing of the Outside standards and that of the Fairbanks schools, with the exception of Outside score of arith- metical Scale A, which was not Ob- tainable, is herewith appended for comparison:
