A Week of Song
All America Expected to Be
 Siuging the Coming Week

All America is expected to be singing during the week begin ming Sunday, February 22 and closing Saturday, February 28.
 The objects are .'to awaken and develop 3 love for singing and to make America a singing nation, and through the medium of songs of the right sort to in- spire us to higher ideals and to unite us as a people," The ends sought are worthy ones. The importance of song in developing the spiritual life of an individual or of a nation are too well known to need comment here. Some one has we'll said: Tell me what you read and l will tell you what you are." It can likewise be said of a nation that the character of it's songs indicates possession or lack of proper ideals.
 Miss Crosno, principal of the Wrangell public school, states that she is making arrangements to enter into the celebration of the Week of Song to as great an extent as possible. She has plapned for the singing, at such periods as not to detraet to any considerable extent from the reg ular school work. while it's bene- fits will surely compensate for the extra endeavor on the part of the teachers.

Leap Year Dance for 1920 Passes
 ~ Into History

Anotherbig quadriennial event, the 1920 ladies' leap year dance, has passed into history.
 For many years it has been the custom of the ladies of Wrangell to observe leap year with a Terp- sichorean event. These leap year dances have always been so de- lightful that as soon as one was over the people would begin look ing forward to the next one. al. though it was four years away.
 Men often get up dances that are pronounced successes, but the men are outclassed entirely when the women plan and carry out the affair. When the women give a dance there is a distinctiveness about it that makes men appear as mere bunglers at getting up anything of a social nature.
 This year it was not only leap year event, but a Valentine ob- servance also. Accordingly the decorations were of hearts and cupid's darts. The almost in- numerable hearts of all sizes which dangled from the numer- ous streamers produced an effect of beauty and charm that beggars description.
 The floor managers, Mrs. T. J. Case and Mrs. w. w. McLough- lin, discharged their tasks in a delightful manner which contrib uted much to the success of the event.
 The attendance was the largest of any social affair in Wranpell for many months, and the floor was crowded with dancers from early in the evening until early in the morning.
 The ladies evidently believe in the old saying that the nearest way to a mans heart is via the stomach. The sumptuous repast served upstairs was enough to have tickled the palate of an cpl cure.
 The following committees were responsible for the event;
 Supper-Mrs. Skelton. Miss Armstrong, Miss Allender. Miss Kelley and Miss Elsie Sylvester.
 Deeorations-Mrs. s. Shurick, Mrs. Carlson, Mrs. J. G. Grant and Mrs. B. Y. Grant.
 Music Miss Billion, Miss Grig- wire and Miss Coulter.
 Reception and Floor-Mrs. Ba- ronovich, Mrs. Case and Mrs. Mclaughlin.
 The only criticism there is to be made of the event is that the good ladies were entirely too len tent in the matter of fines. Con- sequently the affair which was so highly creditable in SO many ways could not be elassed as a fi- nancial success. Following is the financial statement of the treas urer:

Caldwell and Duncan Are Nominated for
 Mayor of Seattle

SEATTLE In the primaries Tuesday Caldwell and Duncan were nominoted for the mayor alty race. The vote was as fol- lows:
 Caldwell =. ............... ..........28,6 618
 Duncan .......... .... .... ..... ..26, 041
 Fitzgerald ..-... ................-- 21, ,419
 The defeat of Mayor Fitzgerald is attributed to private and per- sonal matters of a religious nature having been injected into the campaign. It is alleged that the Catholics knifed him, claiming that he renounced his religion when he married Protestant. Caldwell had no newspaper SUD- port, the Times and Post-Intelli- gencer bitterly assailing him. Duncan had the unstinted SUD- port of the radical sheets of the northwest.
 Seventy-six thousand votes were polled out of a registration of ninety-nine thousand.

LOCAL QUINTET
BEATS BARTON
PENSACOLA HIGH HAS TO HUSTLE
TO WIN FROM MOBILE BY
SCORE OF 18 TO 10

Before a large crowd Of local
rooters the Pensacola High school de-
feated the Barton quintet from Mobile
by the small score of Is to 10. The
teams were evenly matched keeping
within two points up until the last few
minutes Of the game
Both teams passed well but they
couldn't seem to hold on to the ball
after they caught it. The high school
boys started off with a vim and had
three goals in before the Barton
guards could get started. Wilson for
the high school did some spectacular
goal shooting in the first half, making
six OF the ten points made in that
session. Calm, the other forward scor-
ing the other four points. NIcGowles
and II. MacKinney both got two goals
for Barton in the first half Reese
played good game at guarding and
running the floor.
In the second, Barton started with
the same vim that hit high school
in the first half and scored two goals
in the first three minutes. Creary
was put in the game for the Highs
in TIL second half and they started
passing better but somehow couldn't
gel their eye on the goal Both the
High guards should be mentioned as
left their goal unguarded but Barton
did not take advantage of their lax
ness.
