much mirth, especially among the
young ladies'. The solos and readings

ARMIS1ICE DAY
PROGRAM GIVEN
HOUR OF PRAYER, BAND MUSIC,
BASKETBALL, BANQUET AND
LECTURES FILL PROGRAM

The local American Legion, the Vic
tor B. Wallin Post No. -, had very
appropriate program for Armistice
Day, which was attended by the peo-
pie or the town and surrounding coun-
try and which all enjoyed.
The day was a little cold and snow
covered the ground, but the band play
ed on the street corner and the Legion
men marched through the streets.
The band opened the days program
with concert in the morning on the
public square. Previously the town
had been decorated with American
flags and the business places had their
flags on display. At II o'clock every
body paused for few minutes while
APPS were blown in different parts of
the town and the church bells rang to
give silent prayer. Just after II an
hour of prayer was held at the hall,
where Rev. Pengelly gave the prin-
ciple talk.
In the afternoon concert was CIV
en- by the band at the Liberty Theatre,
which was greatly enjoyed by the hall
full of people. Rev. Pengelly also gave
an excellent address in the afternoon,
taking for his subject the "World War
and Peace" After the train had ar
rived basket ball game was staged
between the local high school boys and
the Garrison high school team. The
local team won by score Of 81 to IL.
At o'clock the Ladies' Auxiliary
served dinner to all Legion men
present for the day, and their friends,
in the basement Of the Masonic hall.
The ladies served to about 80 people
during the evening. The Legion feels
grateful to the ladies' for their splen-
did dinner and the social hour they
all enjoyed there.
That evening at the hall there was
a suitable address given by Hon. Levi
H. Beeler of the Minot Normal, which
was appreciated by all who heard it.
Capt. Hugh H. McCulloch gave an in
teresting talk on the National conven-
tion held at Kansas City, and 1t.
Carl v. Peterson paid splendid trib-
ute to Victor B. Wallin in address CIV
en- by him. The address given by Mr..
Beeler was based on Americanfsm. It
sounded the true fundamentals that
makes the people of this nation the
great people that they are. The Le-
gion is to be congratulated on secur-
ing such a splendid speaker as well.
as the giving to the people Of Wash
burn the splendid Armistice Day pro-
gram that it did.

sVashburn; North Dakota.
Dear Mr.. Nygaard:4
wish to write you in the interest
OF ex-service men of the local post Of
the American Legion OF which you are
Adjutant.l t..,5e 81
want to say that the National War
Work Council of: the, Y. M. c. A. has
allotted another sum of money to
North. Dakota, to be used in aiding
ex-service men along educational lines.
Because of the fact that previous al
lotments were used In aiding men to
take resident school work. 1t is now
thought advisable to use the present
allotment Of money In aiding men who
cannot leave their homes and work
but who would like to better them
selves by home study courses. Be-
cause of the limited amount which. Is
at our disposal for these scholarships
it will be necessary to make all awards
on the $3.50 basis In other words,
we will be willing to pay for one.half
the cost OF any homo study course
the ex-service man may elect to take.
The extension division Of the United
Y .sM.sC. "A. schools Is prepared to give
courses in about 800 high grade, stan
tdardized courses. These courses are
given for exactly what 1t costs to put
them out. The extension. division is
mot striving to make money on their
educational work but is in the busi--
ness for service to men. Because of
tho low tuition price charged and the
completeness OF the courses offered
we are asking all ex-service men who
apply! to take their work; with the Elk
tension Division, We have already
helped 400 men from North Dakota
II II there arc ex-serviceS men belong
ing to your local post who are inter
tested IN these educa tional home study

generally understood, will open Mon
day, Novembers21.. However: there has
been much confusion as to'when per,
son could hunt them since the rumor
came to town that this new law had
never passed the house and that the
old law, a. season Of 20 days instead
OF 10, is still in effect. Some, it Is re-
ported, have been hunting already

good. is .s Ssg.; ...sa ,s:5
Deer appear-.to be plentiful along
the river. as the last few years Of pro
lection have given them a chance to
increase in number. Insall the bottom
land on this side and. the other side
there are deer. At almost any time
ono can come onto one or see their,
tracks. Whether they will be killed
:offto any great extent II hard to tell.
Although they stand a good chance OF
not being slaughtered as nearly all
the land around here has been posted
with no hunting signs and hunters are
warned that they will be arrested II
caught. The lands publicly announced
as posted are those Of elm Point, Ar
chiess Point and Conklin up the river
and several sections across the river.

 Referring 10 your letter of the 2lst inst, it is true that we shipped about s30.oo0.00 furs through the bank to Veil Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we ship ped this amount to them was be- cause they handled our business satisfactorily and paid fair price for the goods.
 We did receive a Well circular and you deserve credit for this. However, we shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The reason Veil got the big end of our business was because he treated us right.
 Yours very truly.

WRANGELL NARROWS

Twenty years ago congress was asked to appropriate about two million dollars for comprehensive improvement of the Wrangell narrows channel, a work of great importance to all coastwise traffic.
 It is to be hoped, as it is one of the important policies of the republican administration to i'm prove coast channels and inland waterways, that Wrangell mar rows will be made safe for large vessels, so that insurance rates may decrease and all northward traffic be confined to the safer in- side route.
 There is also strong probability that adequate moneys will be pro- yided for the improvement of the Alaska lighthouse system so as to remove several of the chief dan- gers to navigation. Dispatch.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-03-31

It is believed Delegate Suther- land will be asked to prepare series of bills looking toward commercial expansion for Alaska. These bills will deal with public lands, timber. coal and oil, fish, cries and transportation. The great difficulty confronting the effort to open Alaska is a desire for representation on important boards affecting Alaska of bureau employees who have been trained in narrow channels, so closely tied up with red tape that they would never get the country go- ing ahead. Many senators now feel that some of the men who really know Alaska and it's re- sources should be drafted into government service starting with the Alaska engineering commits sion.-Dispatch.
