To Beat Time.

stopped and listened for upon this
night all of the little creatures were
going to sing, led by the Crickets'
chorus.
There. was a steady sound of the
singing and buzzing of the little crea-
lures. There wasn't moment of ST.
lence. Always if part of the chorus
stopped for moment the others took
it up, so that there was a concert
throughout the whole evening.
"They had been singing now on ev-
cry evening, but on this night all of
the singing was to be especially fine
for every creature had been asked to
sing their very best for the greatest
of the great September concerts.
''The leaves whistled and rustled
and sang in their low voices and some
of them blew little tunes as they whis-
tied into the face of old Mr.. Wind.
"And sometimes the apples dropped
to the ground as though to beat time.
"The very big grasshopper with
the yellow wings who looked like
butterfly when flying but like a grass
hopper when still was making the
sound he considered SO fine-like an
airplane. And he was buzzing and
his wings were swishing!
"The locusts with the long wings
and little legs were rubbing their
wings together and making music.
''All through the day the bugs had
been talking They had been saying
that they lived in one part of the coun-
try which was really wild. 1t was
away from any road and no automo-
biles could be heard from where they
were. They had chatted all day long
and the birds had sung and there had
been a constant noise of little wild
creatures and no noise of trains or
autos and only the voices of the farm
er and his wife and of the children
were the only voices heard. And the
Woodchuck family had chuckled over
the nice home they had.
"And this evening, you see, the
greatest of all their great concerts WAS
given, a concert of joy over the coun-
try where the voices of the little Wild
creatures could be heard rather than
modern sounds such as automobile
toots!'

THE CONCERT.

"The blue fairies were all over the
tops Of the hills said Daddy. "and
there were some fairies about, who
were dressed in lovely purple, too.
They changed their costumes from one
color to another as they played which
was done by the Fairy Queen waving
her wand about.
'1They wore pink and lavender and
then rose and at last they wore yell
low and the cloud fairies changed
their costumes, too, as they were all
being as gay as they could. At the
top of the hill which was near where
the cloud fairies and the mountain
fairies were having such good time
there was a red house which was sur
rounded by trees and wild flowers and
big hills rising behind it. And all
about were the cloud fairies and the
mountain fairies.
There was little bungalow be-
low the house and there stood many
wild asters and goldenrods which
were looking their best.
s'The Queen Anne's lace was there,
too, and so were some of the Thistle
family
"A log was burning in the fireplace
ct the back of the room which could
be seen through the bungalow win
dows and the sparks wereN telling sto-
ries to each other. The bungalow was
hidden by little group of trees for
it was below the hill where the red
house stood.
"A few sUmach leaves were begin
ming to turn red, and surrounding a
brook nearby there were daisies and
buttercups which laughed and said:
we are around here, too, though this
isn't our time of year, but when the
whole country is so beautiful we cam
not help but be around, too, and see
what is going on. So here we are
around this brook where some of the
red leaves on the vines which creep
about show that it is almost the au-
tumn, and some of the grass is brown
and there are wild asters. 1t is diff
ferent from the W; Y it was when our
brothers and sisters were here first
this year.
And soon the brook will change
again and there will be ice over it.
How beautiful all the changes are"
$50, Daddy continued, 1.-The flowers
and the fairies and the leaves and all
the things of the country talked and
chatted.

began to hear the opening tune of
the great concert. And then they all

The Financial cootie.

The unsettlement of foreign ex-
change has bred a considerable con-
tempt for foreign currency in the
minds of certain Americans. The
American father of one Yank who
had stayed in France to "clean things
up" had established a generous line of
credit for him. Friend Son began to
hit things up rather hard, and in con-
sequence the father received a cable
gram reading: ''Your sons account
already overdrawn 100000"
To which he cabled back to the
bankers:
IF you mean dollars, send him
home if you mean pounds tell him to
be careful; if you mean those funny
little things let him have all he
wants" American Legion Weekly.

PULP MILL NEAR
 JUNEAU CERTAIN
 SAYS RUSTCARD
Prominent Lawyer Predicts New Industry Will Come
 To Alaska
WATER ACT IS PASSED
Senate Has Approved Bill to Give 50-Year Leases on
 Rights Spruce Ideal

Wood pulp manufacturing on a large scale will be started near Jul neau early in the summer.
 This is the prediction of John Rust gard, former United States attorney at Juneau.
 MT Rustgard told friends Monday evening he had "every reason to be- lieve that the construction of plant which will use native spruce and it's by-products would soon be construct ed" He said that the names of the organizers of the venture could not be made public at this time but the inference was drawn that they are members of a large company having pulp paper plants in Scandinavian countries.
 Mir. Rustgard pointed out that the Senate recently passed a power-site leasing act that in his opinion will give Alaska another industry-that of the manufacture of wood pulp, and paper The act would give corpora tions or individuals a lease of 50 wears on water rights; The with holding of this CONCESSION has for many years kept capital away from Alaska, because power sites could not be obtained for any great period of time. Only one obstacle lies in the path of heavy investment in the pulp industry in the north in MT. Rustgard's opinion. This is the con servation measures applied to Alas ka forests, under which only grants to cut timber for a five-year period are obtainable. These, however may be renewed through the forestry bureau of the department of agri- culture. Investors have been timid in coming North for the pulp in- dustry, because of what they char acterized the uncertainty of securing sufficient timber under the 5-year grants. It is believed that suitable legislation con be enacted that will lengthen the period of the grant, that will permit Alaska spruce to compete with British Columbia in the pulp-making industry.
 A spruce tree which will produce the best pulp should be between P and 26 years old. Much of Alaska s standing spruce is older than this, particularly that which lies near tide water. Back away from the beaches, however, the perfect spruce suited to the needs of pulp and paper mills is found.

EVANSVILLE, Cal, Jan. 27. - Mrs. Fred J Wilson, wife of San Francisco news writer, went on trial here today on charge of murder growing out of the death of Charles Brown, wealthy sheepman, near Honcut, November l Brown tenn porarily was living in cabin on a ranch owned by the Wilson family.

 Superior Judge E. P. McDaniel de- nied a motion of counsel for Mrs. Wilson. to postpone the trial, and ordered the trial to proceed
 McCormick's trial has been set to follow immediately upon the close of Mrs Wilson's.
 Brown was shot to death and at the preliminary hearing the coron- CTS physician testified four bullets, said to have been fired from a re- volver in the hands of Mrs. Wilson, found Judgement in his body as did a bullet from a rifle that witnesses said were fired by Mccormick.
 Wesley Potts, a carpenter and Ar vim Ward, 'a raseh-saelaployee.a told of quarrel between Mccormick and Brown, following a disagreement earlier in the day between Brown and Mrs. Wilson and the prosecu- tion sought to show the cause of the disagreement was attentions paid by Brown to Mrs Howard, the sister.
 Circumstances surrounding the shooting drew statewide attention and Judge McDaniel admonished at torneys for the defense and prose- cution alike against trying the case in the newspapers.
 Special counsel has been employed by relatives of Brown to assist Pros ecutor Ray Maxwell.

 "We have also investigated the selling of liquor in the City of Juneau and find that the City Council in the opinion of their attorney cannot draw an ordinance to prevent same. We have also examined Marshal J. M. Tanner. who said. providing the City Council could not take any action, that he would undertake to put q stop to the same; so after thorough investigation this body decides to leave it in the hands of the Fed eral Marshal
