QUESTIONABLE IS SUBMITTED
 TO PARTY MEN

George c. Hazelet of Cordova, who has been appointed by Will Hays, chairman of the, Republican national committee, to represent Alaska on the committee on policies and plat form, for the making of the Repub- lican platform at the national conven- tion in June, has written to the Re- publicans and Republican clubs in Alaska asking for suggestions.
 After explaining how men and women in every part of the United States have been solicited to aid in making recommendation for the plat form, MT. Hazelet says
 "I am, therefore, addressing you this circular letter, asking that you give me your ideas of the problems that confront the country, and what action should be taken by the Repub- lican party to solve them, and more es- pecially as to what we need in Alaska
 T will do my best to at least have part of them embodied in the plat form.
 You will realize, as I do, that we are only a very small part of the United States, and that we can not hope to influence the declarations in the national platform to any great extent; but with this opportunity we should be able to secure a plank pledging more liberal attitude toward

Mr.. Rooster strutted away feeling
that he had done his family a great
service ana looking very important and
wise
All the fowl looked after him and
no one moved until old Mrs. Hen said:

Off she ran, followed by all the others,

worms.
Now, II happened the old Mr.. ROost-
er saw them all running and he saw
Mrs. Hen ahead so he, too. ran 10 see
what was going on.
When they reached Mrs. Hen she
was pulling from the wet earth very
fine large worm and every hen and
chicken dashed TO her side, but before
anyone got a piece old Mr.. Rooster
flew over their heads with Outspread
and tapping wings.
He landed right in the midst of the
struggling fowl and before old Mrs.
Hen could collect her wits Mr.. ROOst-
er had the big worm in his beak and
was running away.
or course. no one saw him eat II
and later all he said was that every
time he saw a struggle he should take
the worm, but he did not say what he
should do with It.
"He ate It, my dears," said old Mrs.
Hen. 81 am sure of il, and he VII take
every one we find If he sees 1t, so we
better be careful"
There was no more quarreling
among Mr.. BOOSTERS family after that,
and as he walked around the yard he
said to himself, You have to use
force when they will not listen to rea-
son, but that certainly was a 6na
plump worm"

TT WAS raining very fast and all the
L hens and chickens were sitting I'M
der the bushes at one corner Uf the
yard waiting for the rain to be over,
for each knew the worms would then
be easier to find.
Old Mr.. Rooster w0s watching with
the rest Of the family. He had lived
at the farm longer than the others and
so was considered very wise and was
very much respected.
The hens taught tEeir chicks to look
upon old Mr.. Rooster as their protec-

things.

Heated argument as to therrsiatiVe

Efforts were made to advance the
