DARE DEVIL FOUR
 MAKE THE ROUNDS

Following the time-honored GUS tom, Halloween was celebrated by the younger set of Nenana in the good old-fashioned way during last night. and many heavy and cumber- some things were found this morn- ing, by their irate owners. in places where they didn't belong. The bells forgot to ring merry peal this morning at the usual hour, and if the kids had their way, the Com- mission whistle would not have sounded either.
 The perpetrators of the greatest amount of innocent fun at the ex- pense of several Nenana house. holders 'were known as the Dare Devil Four" whose identity is still closely yelled in mystery Their camouflage would appear to have been complete, and, despite the fact that members of this michief patrol were seen and spoken to by some Nenanaites, nobody seems willing or able to state positively who they were. Their pranks are said to have commenced soon after dark and to have continued almost all night.
 A guess was hazarded by some one that they were four popular young ladies of Nenana, but Mir. Rodigkeit, of the Tavern, is positive that this cannot be, and for the following reason: He says that four desperate looking characters came to his restaurant along about 8 a. m. and ordered and ate a huge sub stantial meal with relish and ap- petite that only belongs to hard working miners, trappers and hunt CTS, and he knows just who can eat. When the time came for payment and such was requested, four hands went to hip pockets with mathmati- cal precision and cached flashed an ugly looking Colt .45, and he says he was tickled to death to call it square. No one has yet been able to find out who these four were.
 Jim Hagen, the marshal, said that he had heard about it, but the "Dare Devil Four" seemed to have been able to elude even this keen sleuth. .-.

SOPHIA VICTIMS
 BEING EMBALMEO
Bodies of the Victims Are Being Identified As Rapidly As They
 Are Recovered.

According to telegram from Charles Ostrom, the former Fair banks jeweler, who is now in busi- ness at Juneau, no difficulty is be- ing experienced now in identifying the bodies of the victims of the great Princess Sophia disaster. which are being recovered from the icy waters of Lynn Canal.
 The difficulty first experienced in identifying the bodies, as stated in the news despatches, was due to the fact that a majority of the people whose bodies were first re- covered were total strangers to the searchers first engagd in the grew some task. An impression seems to have been created in the minds of some of the people on reading of the difficulty experienced in the work of identification, that the bodies had been in some manner rendered unrecognizable by the ac- tion of the sea.
 Mir Ostrom's telegram states def initely that none of the bodies re- covered. so far, show the slightest signs of having been bruised or mangled in any way
 The body of little girl. about five or six years of age, is reported to have been recovered yesterday, but has not been identified yet.
 The bodies are being embalmed as soon as they are brought to shore and will be held in Juneau pending receipt of instructions from rela- tives regarding final disposition.

GERMANS NOW USING
 NEW KIND OF BREAD

AMSTERDAM.-Germany is now threatened with new war food called lupine bread. To work a pro- cess for converting lupine, a legu- minous plant into food for man and beast on a large scale, company has been formed at Chemnitz Sax ony, with capital of 3,O0O,O 900 marks.
 The lupine was held in no particu- lar esteem until about fifty years ago, when German chemist dis covered a process by which the bit ter taste of the plant was eliminated and the vegetable fat and albumen which it contains were made service able for human consumption. Now German food expert, has taken up and perfected the old recipe. It is said that lupine meal makes quite a palatable and wholesome bread, while the refuse is excellent food for cattle. The German government it Is announced, is about to take the lupine cultivation under its official wing.

WAR DIET BEAUTIFUL

The war and the government are now doing for this nation what the people as individuals would not do for themselves. It is now shown that wheatless and near wheatless menus are a blessing in disguies in that they have been the means of improving the health of the Ameri- can people. Wheat flour is not as good for the digestive organs as are the coarser cereals and Hours which have become part of the daily bill of fare.
 If the people will only cut out the grumbling and cheerfully buckle down to the war menus we will soon have a healthier and happier nation.

FORTUNES OF WAR

The shifting fortunes of war do not allow a general to issue in one day orders to be followed through out whole campaign.
 Herbert Hoover is really su- preme quartermaster of the whole Allied forces. combatant and non- combatant. He cannot tell today what orders will be necessary to issue next month, nor what restric- tions now in force, may be then safely removed. The whole Ameri- can people is in the thick of a titantic fray, and the biggest job for the civilian population is to keep the fighters supplied with food
 A multitude of interlocking con- tingencies decide what commodities must be shipped over seas from season to season.
 At present sugar and wheat are the two outstanding essentials, all though fat and beef must be kept moving too. The new rules must be accepted at home as would the command for a general advance at the front It would be treason to hang back.

DON'T BE A STACKER

Because it took the world war to evolve the word stacker it does not necessarily follow that the word is applicable only to military mat ters. In fact it applies just as aptly to the man or woman who neglects civic duties and is always willing to "let George do it."
 The commonest evidence of this kind of stacking is that so often given voice by such talk as "Oh, 1 never bother about politics, l leave that to the professionals" and similar phrases that are intended by those that utter them as evidence of superior wisdom, but which, ac- cepted at their true value, simply convict those making them of an unpardonable neglect of plain duty.
 The franchise. or the opportunity to take a hand in the affairs of the town, state or nation, is beyond all question the greatest boon which originates with Liberty, and he or she who fails to appreciate it and use it with the greatest amount of intelligence at his or her command rightly forfeits the respect of fellow citizens and fails to evidence a right to live under the benefits of Constitution.
 This war has for one of its prim- ary objects the granting of self de- termination to all people, and, surely, those who already have and enjoy this privilege of voice in their own affairs, should be proud to give tangible evidence that they appre- ciate it by taking a keen interest in their country's politics and re- cording their vote in the manner which their intelligence dictates.
 Let nothing interfere with the casting of your vote on Tuesday. Study carefully the records of the men asking for your franchise. If you think that Mir Wilson has hand led the affairs of this nation as you would have had them managed, remember his appeal for the cleo tion of Democratic congress He KNOWS that the European nations will look upon this election as tes. of the popularity of his policies, and that if a Republican majority is returned it will be accepted as an indication that his conduct of the war does not meet with popular approval And then, if you will look carefully over the record made at Washington by MT Sulzer, you will find many reasons why he should be reelected to continue the good work he has so efficiently be- gun.

EDl TORlAL
THOUGHTS FOR SUCCOTH.


Some day, let us hope in the near
future, we may have an opportunity
to visit Palestine, and to see the
proper celebration of the Succoth
festival. For Succoth, more than
any other holy season, is Palestin-
ian holiday. 1t has the true tang
of the soil. Succoh, citron, Palm
branch-what are they but remi-
niscences of Judea's fields, orchards,
and vineyards. In other lands it is
but an exotic. In the land of Israel
it is native to the soil.
Our religion, however, with its
we'll known tenacity and its power
of conservation, has made the best
religious use of the festival, and has
converted all its appurtenances into
ritualistic symbols. There is really
no necessity for a Succah either in
the back yard or on the Temple plat
form, except as religious emblem.
There it stands-a booth or bower,
the frailest Of all structures meant
for the abode of man. How insig-
nifcant it is, compared with the
