the girl, that she is neither totally
blind nor deaf and that she gets her
knowledge of color and hearing by
such portions of these senses as re-
main.

so ably performed the duties of Com

was profitable to the County and dis

untiring efforts of Mr.. Smith to pro-
tect society and retard criminal acts
generally. Perhaps the highest in

Court 500 to be held in our midst?
His friendly visits before and after
Court hours will be missed most OF
all. His service was truly as unbias-

any ever rendered by any great Ju-

belongs. Judge Slack commanded
lsplendid practice before he was called

GREAT WASTE IN FRAUD AL LEGED ON PART OF ARMY
 AND CANTEEN BOARD

London, July Estimating charges of waste and fraud are being made today against the army and navy canteen board and it is openly stat ed that at least four million pounds which ought to be available for so- cial welfare work of all kinds among ex-soldiers has been frittered away,
 When the expeditionary forces canteens which had a monopoly for supply of such things as canteens furnish in the overseas areas during the war came to cast up a cash balance it was found there was a profit of fourteen million pounds. This sum was spoken of as available for distribution among various vet erans' institutes, and Lord Byng was chairman of the united services fund until he left for Canada to assume his duties as governor-gen- eral. Lord Byng fought hard to get the whole sum from the war office, but was continually met with pro- crastination and evasive answers.
 Eventually barely four million pounds were handed over to the united services fund for distribution and the remainder Is now shown to have been muddled away and lost. A royal commission with full pow CTS to investigate and absolutely divorced from government interfer- ence is foreshadowed,

OLD LANDMARK RESTORED

Forty-one years ago the bell in
 The First Presbyterian Church ol Fort Wrangell' sent it's first call Iechoing over the hills and surround ing waters. But the bell is not az old as the church organization, for First Church was organized in 1879, nor is the organization us old as tbe mission, for the mission was begun some years prior to 1879. Statistics are often uniuteresting, but it should be of interest to Wrangell citizens to recall the fact that their old church was the first American Protestant church in Alaska. The Greek Cath ollie church had come with the Rus sians. many years before 1874, which was probably the date of beginning Protestant work in Wranegll. The old church may well be called "a mother of churchea," for from this center has spread a work that now reaches to the Iarthermost limits of our great Territory. Numerically. the strongest church in Alaska is the Native Presbyterian church of Point Barrow. One year ago there was hut one new member received into that church on a profession of his faith. He was the only man in the com muuity who was not already mem Der. Male membership in the three churches of Wrangell doesn't com pare favoTably with the Point Bar row record as a world tourist re- gently remarked while viewing our deIightsbme little home city, But that isn't what this article set out to talk about
 When Doctor Diven came to First Church last summer, he found a fourishing Sunday School and a happy group of older workers. His cart was quite won by the spirit Of rhe church people and the communi- ty at large. He saw a work 10 be done and set about his task. A new mause was secured before the first summer was over. Thorough renovation of the old church itself was a crying need. and that work has just now been completed. The building will be reopeued next Sunday for all reg uIar services. Old friends and new are alike invited tc join in the sim pie worship of the old sanctuary, now so tasteiully renewed without and within. Here is the inscription that was cast in the side of the bell when {. Meneely Bell company pro- duced this sweet-toued reminder of the place and day:
