Miss Davids had greater insight than that What struck her as being more important was that all the men in this Northern territory appeared to be i'm mensely rich; she had their own statements for that fact. You are all familiar with that group that sits around on the steamers, discussing the Midas-like qualities of their claims. It is merely a form of mental sea sickness. In addition, Miss Davids thought she observed "wistful and
 appealing look" in the eyes of the
 sourdough whenever he mentioned a
 home and wife, which was quite often. The upshot of this was that there ap- peared in the September number of the Ladies' Home Journal an article
 entitled Where Wives Are Wanted A Land of Money and Men but No Women" Every once in while it is forcefully brought home to us that it "pays to advertise" The results were sudden and alarming. The governor and other officials at Juneau are sim ply being deluged with letters from all over the United States, bearing messages of sympathy and tentative

Matt OLoughlen, boy in the seventh grade here, recently re- ceived a letter in which the illuminat- ing question was asked, How many rooms did he have in his ice house? The writer also imparted the impor' tant information that a camera was a black box to take pictures with. This is on the same order as the New York high school student writing to new-found correspondent in Alaska that a COW was an animal with four legs and a tail.
 If that portrays the opinion formed in the Eastern schools of Alaska and it's people, we can sympathize with congressional disinclination to appro- priate money for the development of such a place.

 There is no hope left for the poor old bachelors of Alaska now. Ordi- narily over-cautious, they have at last gotten into such a scrape that about the best they can do is to submit to being led to the altar with at least an outward appearance of dignity and grace Being married myself, I can rather enjoy watching the creatures squirm.
 But it all resolves itself into this :: Last summer Miss Edith Davids, a lady of unknown age but presumably attractive appearance, made pleas ure tour of Alaska, in by way of Skag- way, down the Yukon river and out by way of Nome. Now, most of our tourists rave grandly and somewhat truthfully about Alaska scenery; but

Question Of Title.

The point on which the legality of
the ownership of the securities al
legged to have been stolen from or OBJ
tanned by connivance with messen-
gers and other bank employees in
New York city and pledged as coll
lateral back of notes with banks
rests on this issue: II the collateral
was in the care of one lawfully enti-
tied to it's possession-a messenger
or other employe. for fnstance-and
then through breach of trust the
securities pass to thieves. who may
pledge the collateral directly or
through a third party with q bank,
the title lies in the bank holding the
certificates.
If, on the other hand, the secure
ties have been taken without con-
1ivance by the legal custodian, stolen,
then the title cannot pass from the
owner to any other party.
Some of the local banks have ample
protection back of,-tfe alleged stolen
collateral.

CORNWALL BOY ON
KAISER'S DOOR STEP

| Davis R. Bond, youngest of ten
children of the late Dr. Frank N. Bond
OF Cornwall, who is probably still re-
membered by many persons in this
vicinity, although he moved to Cleve-
land, Ohio, several years ago, has had
the rare experience of a visit to Berlin,
In letter which he writes from
Coblenz, Germany, to his sister, Mrs
7, Frank Randall of Mddlebury, he
says: the GROWING glory of my young
life" was a recent trip to Berlin in
convoy Of two carloads of supplies, a
trip which was made by military train
via Poland which gave him four days
in the German capital.
An opportunity was afforded to visit
the interesting portions of the city, and,
he writes, "on Sunday we went to
Potsdam calling at Bills Place. For
some reason Bill was not at home, so
we looked the house over, and had our
pictures taken on his door step. We
also tried to pay our respects to the
Crown Prince but found his house also
placarded Nobody Home"
Bond has been in the supply depart
ment and in addition to service during
the big drive in the vicinity of Ippe-
court he moved into Germany with the
Army OF Occupation last January
where he reports that during two and
a half months time he handled over
So 100000 worth of supplies, assisted
only by four "Y" men and twelve Ger
man laborers. He had visit to the
battlefields around Verdun and Ar
gonne, and has had a number of ex-
cursions along the Rhine and Moselle.
Across the Rhine from Coblenz" he
says, towers a great fort, which, Of
course, is in the hands OF our boys,
and it sure does look good to see Old
Glory floating over it. That is it looks
good to US, but l have not heard any
German remark of its beauty"
In a sightseeing trip to London, Bond
tells bree1ilv of visits to the London
Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westmin-
,ter Abbey, and the Royal Stables
adding that the latter is the only place
where they keep anything of any ac-
count of the whole ROYAL family
His letter concludes with remem-

Still Another Bank Proposition

State Bank Commissioner, George E
Carpenter, will be in Middlebury next
Thursday to give a hearing to still an
other banking project A petition sign
ed by a number of interested men,
headed by Senator Ira H. LaFleur, for
the establishment of trust company
or savings bank will be given a hearing
at the Addison House, at 10 o'clock
in the forenoon next Thursday. The
fact that a number of the petition sign
ers in this case have already swung
over to membership among the difec-
tors or stockholders of the Addison
County Trust Co., Inc, which already
has its charter. indicates that the pro-
posal for any other organization may be
dropped as it is not deemed a large
enough field for two additional banks
at this time.
