FISH AND CAME CLUB ASKED TO
 GIVE OPINIONS
Local Organization Polling Membership on New
 Alaska Game Measure

In circular letter addressed to Club of this community, is contained quest ionnaire relative to the mem bers' stand on the new Alaska Game bill which was introduced several weeks ago by Delegate Sutherland. The letter is being sent out by Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff. acting secretary of the club.
 The questionnaire. in so far as it relates to the game bill, contains only two questions
 "G) Have you any objections to the new bill recently introduced by our Delegate?
 "(2) Do you approve of it in full?"
 The bill has been condemned as und asirable by the Sitka Fish & Game Club and by other similar or ganizations in the Territory. It is the purpose of Secretary Kashevaroff to tabulate the vote of the members of the local club and transmit the result to the Delegate.
 It is understood that the measure was prepared by Dr, E. w. Nelson, chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey and has the endorsement of Eastern game conservation clubs. It provides in general for game com mission of five members, four Alas kans and an executive secretary, an employee Of the Biological Survey in whose hands the power of the com mission rests

The Anti-Saloon League, he charged, was never an enemy of the saloon ana added that it was recognized by Con gress as the most powerful, perm- ciuously active and corrupt lobby ever known in public life.
 MT. Cobb said there are 640,0Oo new Federal employees which are charged with enforcing the law. These do not all function under the National Prohibition Director, but include special assistants to Federal prosecuting attorneys, special depu- ties to T. S Marshals and others The number of such employees, he added, is more than three times the combined forces of the Army and Navy
 Valentine Makes Talk
 MT Valentine, who followed MT. Cobb also assasled the prohibitory amendment. He declared that pro hibition is a foe to temperance. The people of Alaska, he said. in the wet or dry question had voted dry under the impression that they were vot- ing merely 10 put the saloon out Of existence Alaskans never asked for the Alaska Bone Dry Law and would never have voted for it, he said He added that the present had stood in a local saloon and got a jag on at my expense" while he boasted of what he had done for prohibition, claiming to have written the Alaska Bone Dry Law.
 At the conclusion of his talk, MT. Valentine offered the following reso- lution, which wls adopted
 Whereas; there is. throughout the nation. a deep and definite feeling that the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution was not an expres- son of the free and unfettered judg- ment of the people. but is rather a montanent to the inherent defects Of our system of government, and was adopted during a period of hysteria brought about through the exigencies of war, and which gives to an or ganized and heavily subsidized min rsf oit tho tn cajoie, coerce and manipulate our elected representatives into compli- ance with it's bidding regardless of their oath of office, their duties or their convictions as to the merits of any given question.
 And whereas; the advocates of this amendment, emboldened by their sue cess with the timorous and supine human material which constitutes the membership of our legislatures, have found the members of Congress equally responsive to their threats, their usurpations, and their invasion not only of the precincts of national legislation but of the minds and wills of the members of both the Sen ate and the House of Represents tives, of the National Congress, with the result that there has been placed upon the statute books the obnoxious Volstead Law. the most derided. the most condemned and the most gener- ally disregarded law in the history of Legislation throughout the world.
 And, whereas; among it's results there is an unprecedented spirit of defiance of all law throughout the land, an unconcealed sympathy with The law-breskers. a compromising oi prosecutions. and a vicious broaden ing of the area of tolerance to crime,

out: they weaken from overwork, be-
come sluggish, the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general de-
cline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach. or If you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad.
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts: take a table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your
Kidneys may then act fine. This

grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine SO it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus often end

Hancock. Co. Accepts
Somerset Challenge
In Seal Campaign

DR.. c. C. Morrison. Jr., OF Bar
Harbor, chairman of the Hancock
County Christmas Seal Committee.
Wednesday accepted the challenge Of
DR.. George E. Young, Of Skowhegan.
Seal committee. as to which county
would raise the most money in the
cause.
DR.. Young's letter to DIR. Morri-
son issuing the challenge is as fol-
lows:
Your county has population OF
5O,361. My county, Somerset, has
Bill, somewhere near the same.
To enthuse myself. challenge you
to a contest based on SO many cents
per capita. I am after $4,000 or
more in my county and intend to
get it. Let's agree on a prize, any
thing between = silver cup and a
brass band"
Or. Morrison's Reply
The reply of DR.. Morrison to DR..
Young accepting the challenge is as
follows:
your exceptionally pleasing let
ter arrived and for fear that you
might become frightened If I an
swered it too soon, I have delayed in
accepting your challenge.
my dear sir, do YOU realize what
you are attempting. challenging
Hancock county. Most certainly we
accept the challenge. but my con
science will not allow me to choose
what the prize will be, whether
silver cup or a brass band, inasmuch
as we Of Hancock county do not
wish to bankrupt the Somerset coun-
ty association.
"There is only one possible glim-
mer of hope for you and that is that
there become some unexplainable
massing of forces in your county,
and we of this present time know
that miracles do not happen now.
II trust that this little contest will
truly add zest and encouragement to
both of our counties in their fight
for this exceptionally worthy cause
and that when the total results are
filed that the Maine Public Health
Association can truthfully say that
Hancock county and Somerset coun-
ty did more than their Bit for the
cause"
