indeed be contraction Of the fem

feel bad. For health is queer crea-

arc often due to changes of the season
of the year, like Spring when the sap

The Importance of Attending Nursing
 Classes Is Urged

Miss Holland is somewhat dis appointed at the fall.off in attend ance of some of the nursing class es this week, especially in the night. The course will be finished by Christmas and as Miss Holland will travel over Alaska for the next two years for the Red Cross, giving home nursing instruction. she is very anxious that her first classes in Wrangell end as suc- cessfullv as they began and that a large number of women get the certificates. While the course costs only the price of a text book, it is worth many dollars to every woman to know how to care for sickness in the home, and Miss Holland requests that social ac- tivities be sacrificed until the course is ended whenever the two conflict.

New Radio Operator
 For Station at Craig

F. A. Thiele arrived from Se- attle on the Spokane Saturday. Mir. Thiele will leave tonight for Craig to assume charge of the U. s. Radio station at that place. A. Vaughan who has been tenn porarily in charge at Craig during the illness of Winfield Wood, will return to his position at Wrangell. The action of the Army in send ing MT. Thiele to Craig at this time would seem to indicate that MT. Wood is not to be returned to Craig upon his recovery. It is known that the U. s. Signal Corps is short of cable operators at this time, and it is therefore not improbable that Mir. Wood will be transferred from radio to cable service as soon as he is able to work again.

Pro- gram at School
 Wednesday

The primary and intermediate rooms of the public school gave an excellent program Wednesday afternoon, November "A, in com- memoration of the 300th anniver- sary of the landing of the pi1- grims. All of the pupils in both rooms took part. One number followed another without any an- nouncement, each one knowing his turn and his part perfectly, the whole making a smooth per formance that delighted the large number of parents and friends who were present. There were solos, readings, recitations, drills, choruses and a little play woven around the courtship' of Miles Standish in which a spinning wheel made by Chad Wyatt fig  ured prominently. The children were in costume. A real pump kin and a live kitty that tried hard to shirk his share of responsibility for the success of the recitation in which he figured were other features of interest, and Father Time was there with his scythe and a clock on which four periods of time were marked. As a whole the program showed the thor oughness with which the children had been drilled and their inter- est in their work.

Frank Waterbury Is
 Injured by Accident

Frank Waterbury, who left Wrangell recently to spend the winter Outside, suffered a most painful accident at Blaine, Wash. Mir. Waterbury is known to be very fond of apples, and his friends will therefore not be sur prised at hearing of his being up an apple tree. Unfortunately, he lost his hold and fell to the ground. His right hand received the full force of the fall. Several bones were broken just above the knuckles and the wrist was also badly injured. The nature of the injury is such that it will be months before the hand is all right again. Mr. Waterbury is now at North Yakima.

A.Letter From
 Adj. Carruthers
Dear Wrangell Friends,

Dear Wrangell Friends:,
 After a very pleasant journey by boat and train, we arrived safely at our new home, Vernon, B.. c. It seems nice town of 4OOO population with many stores, a good school and several church. es. It is situated in the midst of the Okanogan Valley, so famous for. it's fruit.
 The Salvation Army has a good corps here, with a silver band in connection. We were given a hearty welcome on Sunday last, and hope soon to feel at home in this our new field of labor.
 While we hope to make new friends here, yet we will never forget our old friends at Wrangell. The kindness you have shown us, while living in your midst, can not easily be forgotten. The send off you gave us when leav. ing will ever remain as a sweet memory. We only hope that at some future time we may have the privilege of returning to Wrangell for a visit.
 Mrs. Carruthers, Grace, Gwenn and myself wish to take this op. portunity of again thanking you and wishing every blessing for the future.
 Yours faithfully, w. J. Carruthers, Adjutant.

MT. and Mrs. Ernest Campbell
 Receive an Exquisite Gift

Mir. and Mrs. Ernest Campbell were given a delightful surprise last Thursday when they were presented with a beautiful electric lamp by local Elks. The Elks had celebrated the return of the couple to Wrangell. following their mar riage, so thoroughly and enthusi- astically that this gift was in the nature of an act of restitution as well as an expression of regard. MT. Leo, Mccormack, who is an Elk, and his brother. Harry, were guests at the Campbell home on Thanksgiving Day. Leonard Campbell. also an Elk, had con- trived to smuggle the gift into the house and shortly before din- ner, with the connivance of Mrs. H. D. Campbell, Mrs. Ernest was kept in the kitchen while the con- spirators unpacked the present and placed it upon the dining room table. When she entered the dining room later, she found something had been added to the table decorations and was at first at loss to know for whom it was intended. She was not kept in doubt long and under the gift was list of the donors. The lamp is high with a beautiful bronze base, three sockets and a wide neutral tinted globe of exquisite design and workmanship which gives a soft golden glow when lighted.

Second Municipal Concert Given
 ByMrs. Towers

The second municipal concert given Tuesday night at the Rex by Mrs. John T. Towers was at tended by a large number of music lovers who enjoyed the excellent program from beginning to end. Mrs. Towers first number was a piano selection, Rose Leaves, " and it was followed by a group of three Carrie Jacobs Bond songs, beautifully sung. "The Charge of the Uhlans," instrumental, won hearty encore and Mrs. Towers responded with Hande's Largo. Before singing the Flow CT Song" from Faust, Mrs. Tow CTS sketched briefly the story of the famous Gounod opera which was first produced in 1859. Miss Rees of the school faculty then gave a group of recitations. Her first, "Laska,' was followed by a humorous selection. Tn May, :" and in order to satisfy the audi ence, Miss Rees repeated Teach CTS Sparkin'' which delighted so many on, a previous occasion. Two old favorites, "Flow Gently, Sweet Alton" and Come Back to Erin," were then sung by Mrs. Towers followed by "The Bells of St. Mary's" in which MT. Upshaw added the mandolin accompani- ment and which evoked so much applause that My Heart is Thine" was sung. Rubenstein's S Melody in F was the last piano number and the closing selection was Braga's Angels Serenade. !" Mir. Upshaw assisted in this num- Der also and the beautiful melody in which the voice, mandolin and piano blended exquisitely, was a treat to all.
 The proceeds of the concert will be used by the school to provide special voice culture for the pu- pills. Mrs. Towers began the work Monday and will have classes twice a week. It will be a rare advantage for the school children to have this course in music without any expense to the school authorities and none to the community beyond that entailed in attending the concerts. They will be given from time to time and are a treat in themselves and well worth much more than the popular admission price which is asked

C0Hfinnfd from Mst Wffk

Following the talks on the reSer- vation system by George Haldane of Hydaburg and Peter Simpson Wednesday afternoon, L. F. Paul read a paper by Gen. R. H. Pratt on "The Place and Destiny of the Indian in the Nations Life.' MT. Paul told some interesting facts about General Pratt's military ac- tivities and his long period ot ser vice in connection with the Carlisle Indian school, before reading the paper. He spoke of the general as the first man to accept the In. dian of the United States as an equal human being" with a mlnd that could be developed, and said much of his activities on behalf ot the uplift of the Indian. The pa per was listened to with great in- terest.
 Mir. w. l.. Paul followed, urging again upon the Brotherhood the need of organization and the i'm portance of men of education to represent the Native in his struggle for fishing rights, land rights and educational advantages, after which MT.

Worthington spoke of the small drops which finally make the great ocean and urged cooperation and friendliness so that the ideals for which their organization stands may be realized. Mir. Desmonde asked the men of the convention to combine. to select their best men to represent all and then to join hands. He pledged his loyal SUD- port in the work before them.
