HAZELET WILL GIVE SUPPORT
 NEW GOVERNOR

George c. Hazelet today returned from Washington, D. c. where he has spent the past couple of months in the interest of his candidacy for governor of Alaska. Although the choice of a large majority of the people of Alas ka for this office the contest devel- oped into such bitter factional fight, President Harding felt that under the circumstances it was best to name a personal representative and this he did by selecting Scott c. Bone, chair man of the Republican publicity bu- reau and former editor of the Seattle Post Intelligencer
 Mir. Hazelet feels confident that Mr. Bone will make an excellent governor and says he wants to cooperate with him in every way to make his ad- ministration success and accomp- fish some good for the territory. He also is desirous of having all of his llleHuS sldnu Del!l1u tle HeW eAecuI- i've in his efforts to improve condi- tions in the territory, through con- structive legislation. This can only be done by the people of Alaska work ing in unison and the sooner they get together the better it will be- for all parties concerned
 Y Tomorrow afternoon Mr. Hazelet will leave for Katalla where he will devote much of his time to the man.

Eleven hundred men went into that

Captain Holderman's citation recites,
among other things, that he was
wounded on October 4, and again on
October. Z, but throughout the entire
period, suffering great pain and sub

continued personally to lead and en-
courage the officers and men under

Millions in Federal Road Aid Fund

cept in states where more than . per
cent of the area Is unappropriated
public land
The 100000 appropriated Is for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1922,
and SIS 100000 of the sum Is available
Immediately, the balance becoming
available on January /, 1922.
The federal highway act in gen.
eral way resembles the federal aid
act of 1916.
Apportionment Of the fund to the
states is almost the same as in the
previous act, the fund being divided
into three parts, one part apportioned
according to population, one according
to area, and one part according to
mileage of rural and star mail routes.
A new feature is the stipulation that
no state shall receive less than one
half of 1 per cent of the total fund,
which. in this case is $365,625.
There is considerable change, how
ever, in the manner in which a state
may use its allotment Each state must
select connected road system not ex-
ceeding per cent of its road mileage
for improvement with federal aid.

H0RSEMAN WILL NOT
BET ON HORSE RACE;
John Madden, Noted Breeder,
Has Never Made Wager.
For Many Years Kentuckian Has Been
Leader of Trotting and Thor
ouahbred OvaIs-lnterested in
Every Line of Sport.

Could you practically live on a race
track and never bet a single cent?
Could you develop and sell race horses
and never bet cent to back them up?
Could you race race horse and still
never bet on him?
1t Is not impossible. John Edward
Madden, the most famous and leading
breeder and racer of thoroughbred race
horses on the American continent, does
all of this, and still more.
He has q farm at Lexington, 1000
acres Of the finest blue grass land.
He has other large interests and pos
sesses a large fortune-but not one
cent of this has ever been made
through betting on race horses, not
withstanding horses he himself had
bred for winning.
Madden as boy turned his early
fancy to the trotting horse. He came
to Lexington in 1888, and from that
time to this has been the leader of the
trotting and thoroughbred ovals.
His first "big" buy was in 1889.
NHeA he pau 91Op1OO 1Ol SUSAN 1AON'
ting mare, and in 1890 he paid S33,259
for Robert McGregor, famous trotting
sire.
Madden has lot of sentiment for
his horses. He heard that Nancy
Hanks, trotting mare, was for sale.
He Immediately bought her and gave
her a home on the blue grass or his
farm, and the day she arrived Madden
issued invitations to numerous friends
for reception in honor of Nancy
Hanks.
Madden has established cemetery
on his farm for horses that have be-
longed to him. 1t is arranged within
a stone wall built in the form of a
horseshoe.
Within the inclosure are monuments
to Nancy Hanks, Hamburg and others
whose deeds have added luster TO the
annals of the turf.
Madden always sells horse when
his price Is met He loves the fleet
animals, but selling horses that he has
developed is his business. He does not
like to see them leave him, but as he
has always said: ST had rather sell
and regret than keep and regret"
He retains his interest in every line
of sport, and no event Of unusual in
terest in sports has been missed by
him in 40 years. But still he will not
bet on a race horse.

PITCHED FIRST CURVED BALL
John StanchfieId, Student at Amherst,
Demonstrated Professor of Physics
Was Wrong.

John B. Stanchfield, the noted law
yer, who died recently in New York
city, always enjoys telling how he
developed the art of pitching curved
ball, observes the Detroit News.
StanchfeId was graduated from AM
herst in 1876, and served as a pitcher
On the college nine. The tale he best
liked to relate had to do with a class
room lecture of a professor OK physics,
who used complicated mathematical
formula to show that a sphere hurled
into space would not curve in hori-
zontal plane without violating the laws
of physics, which was only another
term for the laws of nature, and such
violations did not occur. The student
spoke up. He admitted that the DEM
onstratiOn was excellent, but he
claimed that he could throw a curve.
That afternoon the professor stood be-
hind the catcher on the ball ground
and watched a baseball plump again

LOSS OF THE NAVAL RESERVE
Last Few Weeks from 100000
to Nothing.

Experts disagree as to the pOSSibil-
ity Of next war;" but they agree
absolutely that if the ''next war" does
come, it is likely to be on the seas
and in the air. We are warned that
we must have adequate naval and
air forces. We must have adequate
reserves. Yet In spite of these warn
ings, the paid personnel of the naval
reserve force has shrunk in the last
few weeks from 100000 to nothing.
The naval reserve, in which hun
dreds Of thousands served faithfully
and valiantly during the war, has prac-
tically been abolished by congress,
which failed to appropriate enough
money to pay the meager retainer
fees Of personnel. The Navy depart
ment, asserting it had no alternative,
discontinued the paid reserve. All
members were disenrolled, having only
an opportunity to join class of the
reserve, class in which personnel is
not paid, no matter how much time
may be devoted to drills and ma
neuvers.
Thousands Of reserve sailors went
on cruises this summer at navy ex-
pense, receiving only navy pay and
training, which is more valuable to
the navy than to the reserves To
disenroll these men is to waste their
summers work, yet they have been
disenrolled
Toward the close of the World war,
thousands of men joined the naval re-
serve who were trained after the Arm
istice. All that training seems lost
to the navy. Many reserves recently
shipped over" after expiration OF
their enrolment Good intentions have
not been considered.
The navy appreciates the reserve
force. The reserves appreciate that
the navy needs them. Only congress
seems unaware that there is in time
of war a need for trained sailors out
side our permanent forces.-American
Legion Weekly.
