THE DATE FOR EASTER

Every person can remember,
But to know when Casters come
Puzzles even bcholars-some.
When March the twenty-first is past
Just watch the silvery moon,
And when you see it full and round
Know Easter'll be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full
Then Easter will be here
The very Sunday after.
III each and every year.
And, if it hap on Sunday
The moon should reach its height,
The Sunday following this event
Will be the Easter bright.

RECLASSIFICATION OF

there will be a classification Of
registrants later, the time to be
set by the board, especially in
regard to those who have married
since the draft.
If a man has become q since
June 5, 1917 and has married
subsequent to the enactment of
the Selective Service law, May Is,
1917, but on or prior to January
Is. 1913, the question of exemp-
ton will be gone into very thor
oughly. The laws governing this
class of registrants are very spe-
cific. and are becoming more
stringent as time goes on.
The Local Board has not set
the time for the Redistribution
as the members desire to become
fully convelsant with all the pro-
visions involved.

celebration of Americas hide

were troop reviews in which the
American toys participated, and
the famous former Avenue

its reading with a discourse on
the events leading up to the Fall

was sung as an Oifertory.
So impressed with the message

Assistant District Attorney
Raglan, who was in Wrangell
Wednesday afternoon on the Sub

at the Sentinel office. Mr.. Raglan
called attention to an item in the
issue Of June 81 in which was
quoted from the Petersburg Re-
port certain information concern
ing the fishing privileges Of
Firms. In this item, MIR. Raglan
is credited with the statement
that a former report of his, clas-
styling Firms with German alien
enemies, was erroneous, and de-
MES having made this statement.
Amy property in this country
belonging to Firms who reside in
Finland, is subject to confscation
by the United States govern
ment, the same as that of Ger
MANS" said Mr.. Raglan. I'm re-
gard to the fishing, the Firms
still have the same privileges as
persons from other countries not
at war with the United States.'

INHERITS
FORTUNE
Local Woman Falls Heir I'm
expectedly to Large Fortune
left by Half Brother

Wrangell bids fair to Gene in
to the limelight by virtue of be-
ing the home of an heir to a for
tune which runs into six figures.
About week ago Mrs. E. A.
Lindman received official notice
of the death of a half brother,
James r. Daily, at the Soldiers
Home in Los Angeles. On a la
ter boat from the South, Mr..
G. H. Barnes received from his
brother, VIII Barnes, an article
clipped from the Los Angeles
Times which he Immediately
brought to the Lindman home,
and this was the first intimation
Mrs. Lindman had that she is
presumably sole heir to a for
tune.
When seen at her home Mrs.
Lindman admitted that she was
very much surprised at the news.
Mrs. Lindnan has not heard from
her half brother in years,
While the Lindman family re-
sided in Berkeley, Cal, he visited
them occasionally. For some
time, Mrs. Lindman, longing to
get in touch with one SO near OF
kin, has been trying to locate
him but all mail has returned I'M
claimed.
Mrs. Lindman wrote to the
Soldiers Home for details con-
corning Mr.. Days death before
she became informed that ne haa
left fortune, and since then
she has written other letters to
which she hopes to get replies
soon. The matter has also been
placed in the hands of a Los An
geles attorney.
While Mrs. Lindman does not
wish to be considered mercenary.
she admits frankly that an in
heritance would not come amiss
in these times.
Following is the article from
the Los Angeles Times:
James r. DAILY, a Spanish
War veteran, who died last week
at the Soldiers Home. had Sc, 900
in bank deposits and left proper
ty near the San Francisco Civic
Center said to be valued at more
than $4,000 it was estimated
at the Home yesterday.
"a half sister, Mrs. Mary
Lindman of Fl. Wrangle, Alaska,
is said to be the only heir to the
property. w. Wilmington of
Calexico Is said to claim an inter
est in the properties by virtue Of
a partnership.
DAILY came to the Home only
a few weeks ago, entering the
hospital for treatment, and little
was known of him here. He was
fifty four years old and veteran
of the Sixth California infantry,
Spanish War. The revelation of
his wealth was a great surprise
to officials and employees Of the
Home"

WITH AMERICAN ARMY.

WITH AMERICAN ARMY. =
The American storm troops have
passed beyond nearly all their
detectives, including the Paris
and Scissors road. The town Of
Scissors is now we'll within the
lines. The larger American guns
and troops went over the top
with cheer. The enemy was
taken completely by surprise all
along the line, The Americans
were brought up in the night
with the French. AS the whole
German left flank is menaced,
the enemy must draw in his
troops from the Marine OR risk
their being caught where they
are. 1t may mean that the fin
ishing blow has been admins
tered to his dying offensive.

It seems to be the consensus of
opinion among the fish buyers
who could be seen since the mes
sage reached Wraneeli that the
change in price as given out by
the new Food Administrator for
Alaska is, generally. TO the advan-
Of the fishermen. However, the
latter have received 3Oc fol sock
eyes and cohoes with an extra
ten cents for delivery aad if the
new price OF &c includes deliy-
cry, II would seem that the fish
ermen will lose. The message
makes it plain that 32c is the
maximum price, delivered. In
the case OF the other fish, the
prices are higher than was paid
before.
