vigorously.
"Whew! their beauts. Where did
you ketch 'em. Lucky" Pickles asked.
"Oh, l jes picked EN- offn ole set
line I has down the ribber," returned
Lucky. He had the fish fastened on a
stringer and put them in the water
near shore, tying the other end OF the
stringer to a willow bush. Lucky did
this to keep the fish alive until the
boys were ready to cook them. He
knew that a freshly killed fish has a
much better flavor than n that has
been dead even a short time.

was agreed upon. 1t suited everyone
except poor Starchy. He was in a
bad way. He had planned the camp In
the woods but he was not having
such a good time as he had expected
Camping meant work of a kind he did
not know how to do. He was as
named to let the other boys see his

To Pickles and his companions 1t

Squinty and Starchy boarded the
Mary Anne and Lucky rowed them
one of the trees near the roots with
his Ratchet among some scrub pines
far up on the hillside.
In the meantime Pickles and Tom
and Chuck began work on the raft.
In the vicinity of the camp were sew

been selected by Pickles on a former
trip. He explained that he had pick

boys enjoyed it. The ring of their

AMONG US GIRLS

Dear Girls:
An old motto says 1--WE are known
by the company we keep" That is
public opinion. In other words the
neighbors will judge you by your as
sociates. It's all right to a that
you don't care about what people
will say, but you do. Way down in
your heart you realize that your re-
putation can be made-o or unmade in
a half hou at the will of your neigh
bors.
Respect yourself in the first place.
No one can respect a person who does
not respect herself. A good safeguard
of your conduct at all times is to
gauge it by your own self respect.
Never do anything that you cannot
mentally look yourself square in the
eye after. The old saying that you
should never do a thing that you
would not shout from the housetops
is all bosh. There are lots of little
things that we do in every day life
that we would not want the world TO
know but which does not lower our
selves in our own esteem. l can re-
member my grandmother used to say
Live up to the standard yourselves
that you expect others to live up. to"

Polish government to rescind the or
der to $4,000 Jews in Poland, that
they leave the country Immediately,
ostensibly because they are aliens.
The Peace Conference after listening
to all the facts assured the Jewish
delegation that Premier Paderewski
promised to cancel the order. 1t is
considered very probable that the
Peace Conference made its promise to
the Jewish delegation even before
they consulted Pederewski, but that
It had made up its mind to see to 1t

AGAINST JEWISH LANGUAGE

Copenhagen, July %, 19l9.-The
Polish government delivered pro-
ject concerning autonomy for Ukraine
and Eastern Galicia, to the Peace
Conference. In this project mention
is made of equality before the law OF
both languages, but no mention is
made of the Jewish language. In
view of the relations between the Po-
lish government and the Jews it is
considered certain here that Poland
purposely made the exception against
the Jewish language.

PARIS RECEPTION TO JUSTICE
BRANDEIS.

On his way to Palestine, Mr.. Justice
Brandeis, Honorary President of the
Zionist Organization Of America was
the guest at an informal reception by
the Zionists Of Paris. The principal
speaker was Mr.. Nahum Sokolow,
who met Mr.. Brandeis some years ago
in America. Mr.. Brandeis was not
yet a member of the United States
Supreme Court, nor was he then iden-
titled with the Zionist movement
Mr.. Sokolow was profoundly i'm
pressed with the personality of the
coming leader, and expressed the opin-
ion to an American friend that Mr..
Brandeis would yet become a promin-
ent factor in the fate Of Jewry. The
person to whom Mr.. Sokolow ex-
pressed this opinion said to him "You
are a dreamer" Two years alter,
when Mr.. Brandeis had become
member Of the movement, Mr.. Soko-
lows friend said to him "You are a
poet" A few years later, Mr.. Soko-
low again met his American friend
and pointed out to him the progress
of Zionism in America, of which Mr..
Brandeis had become the moving
spirit. Whereupon, his friend said
to him "You are neither a dreamer
nor a poet, you are a prophet"
In responding to the various ad-
dresses which were delivered at this
reception, Mr.. Brandeis said that the
Zionist political situation was very
satisfactory, and laid stress upon the
grand opportunity which was now Of
fering itself, closing with an express
sion Of his confidence that became
the Jews had suffered for two thou
sand years, and struggled for two
thousand years that they would know
how to suffer and work, and in the
end gain vastly from the oportunity
which now lies before them in Pales-
tine.

ton were Mr.. Jacob deHaas, Profess
sor Zimmern Of the University Of

Brandeis to Palestine, Prof. Felix

HIDDEN ASSETS
 PROVE TO BE WORTH
 NEARLY TWO MILLION

In the settlement of large estate a number of years ago, the executor found big blocks of cheap oil and mining stocks which were disposed of at the best prices obtainable Among the certificates were 1000 shares of Texas-Pacific Coal Oil Company's stock The exccutor was unable to find any one who could give him sufficient information about the stock, so he tucked it away in a pigeon-hole of his desk.
 Recently the certificates were res urrected and the executor made an other inquiry regarding their value merely as a matter of curiosity. He was astonded to find the stock was 1900 bid, making the value of the shares, which had been hidden away for many years, s1,6OO,00o. The stock has not been marketed as yet, since to sell it now would mean that prac tically half the proceeds would go for Federal taxes (WaH Street Journal Straws.)

RATE OF EXCHANGE IS FIXED FOR THE
 NORTHERN RUSSIANS

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Northern Rus s1a's new ruble currency, that is, the currency arranged by the British Government to assist the Archangel Provisional Government in stabiliz ing finances, has a fixed rate of ex- change of forty rubles to one pound That places the ruble at six pence, roughly twelve cents in American money.
 Exchange on the old rubles, both those issued under the Imperial Gov ernment and the Kerensky Govern ment, has been extremely unstable throughout the Bolsheviki regime in all parts of Russia Tho distribu- tion of money is uneven. Money famines are constantly appearing in many sections, regardless of the fact that all money presses are kept go- ing day and night.
 R. M. Harvey, an English banker, has been named head of the Bureau of the Archangel Provision Govern ment entrusted with controlling the new rubles. At a later date agree ments may be reached with Ameri. can and French banks to keep de posits of francs and dollars and thus facilitate business between those countries and the Northern Russian Government.

FIRE INSURANCE MUCH LOWERED
 IN JUNEAU CITY
Direct Cause Is the Ef- ficiency of the Fire De- partment; Chance to
 ReciproCate.

If will he remembered that about a year ago Juneau was fortunate enough to secure reduction ln lire insurance rates, as against a general raise which was going on through out the United States.
 This was brought about after very careful survey of the city fire fighting apparatus, including the alarm system, the equipment of mo tor trucks, and the new hlgh pres sure water system The survey was conducted by Kenneth z. Hamilton representing the San Francisco board of Fire Underwriters, who on the morning of his departure rom 1u' neau turned in a test alarm rom the box at the City Dock. This oc- cured at five o'clock one Sunday morning, and in less than three mn utes after the first tap or the pen the big LaFrance truck with nine men aboard were at the City DoGn prepared to tackle anything in the nature of fire.
 In making his report NIT Haihli'oi' took all these facts into consldera- tion. Also about this time letter pointing out some pertinent facts on the subject was written by one oi the local fire insurance agents which proved to the Board of Under writers that the Juneau rates could be reduced, in face of the fact that a general raise was going on over the whole country.
 In view of the foregoing and TUT ther taking into consideration the willingness of the Fire Department to respond to any calls made upoI it for relief whether it be fire, flooo or as a guardian of the law it goes without saying that this is the one local organization worthy Of the support of everyone. Therefore, hell
