ended Larry's great prospects.
Ando now-well, it was over.
He would have to pay such of
his debts as he could: go to work
then and devote the years Of his
youth to earning money enough
to pay the rest. One thing, at
least, stood to his credit: it never
occurred to him as possible even
that he should do anything but
that.
Outside in the garden was Pat.
All her happiness of the night
before was gone. She had hoped
that she had done more than win
Larry from Ariana for the mo-
ment: had prayed that that
night, at least, he would resist
the temptation to play. And-he
had not. She had heard them,
through the night, AZ she lay,
almost sleepless, walking, ever.
and ever again, to hear them still
hard at it.
Early that morning, long before
the sun stole through the shaded
windows of the great living room,
Pat had stolen downstairs. She

her by the shoulders. held her
off, the while she screamed and
struggled like cat that has been

Larry's voice edged by the irri-
tation that came from the weari-
ness OF the all-night session and
by his naturally highly nervous
state of mind, broke In sharply
upon the din. Brewster released
Pat at once and took off his hat,

GOAT GLANDS USED
 REVIVE OLD TIMER

MILFORD, Kan. Feb. 5.-Dr. Coue cry way" stuff and Dr. Coue may go but this little Kansas village prom ises to go on forever without the aid of the well known Emile.
 That is, it will go on forever, pro- viding the supply of youthgiving goat glands are not exhausted.
 Dr. John Brinkley has established a hospital in the village, and started to raise goats. The village was flabber- gasted First they thought the goats were to provide milk for the patients. But why so many?
 All this time Dr. Brinkley experi- meuted with his hifalutin ideas, while his health, broken down by ove-work, mended.
 One day Uncle Billy, village patri- arch, called on Doe" Old age was laying heavy hand on Uncle Billy, and day by day he found it harder to maintain his reputation as argufer.
 He finally consented to accompany Doc to the operating table. A few weeks later he stepped spryly down the main street to take his place at the cracker barrel.
 The cid man began to get real skit- tish and his neighbors looked askance at him. A year later he became the papa of another bouncing baby boy.
 Then the secret of the goats came out Dr. B:inkley had transplanted goat glands on old Uncle Billy. Since then the hospital has been enlarged and a new hotel is going up.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN

France, by turning the tables on Germany, which has invaded French territory twice in half a century, is the exposure of the worlds eyes. The question uppermost in the public mind of course is what will be the effect upon Germany A complete breaking down of Central Europe is expected, with consequent demonstration and economic crises.
 The conviction is gradually being pressed home that the result of the French invasion will be to delay still further the restoration of something like normal conditions on the Euro pean continent Possibly France be- lieves in returning a Roland for an Oliver as mental salve, while the German military giant is tied hand foot by the allied armies.
 Germany stands not only an impov- erished nation. but a resentful, sullen, defiant nation, its industrial magnates suffering imprisonment and fines be- fore yielding to the pressure of their conquerors.
 The communists in Germany at the present time have the upper hand, and they refuse to fight. Russian commit nists are awaiting an attack on their German comrades before going to the rescue. Moscow wants to see Ger many under Soviet rule, and will go to any lengths to bring this about.
 With Great Britain fighting Turkey for possession of the Mosul oil fields; and Greece upon the verge of war over possession of Thrace, conditions are anything but comforting.

NEW ALASKA CABLE
Seattle Daily Times)

(Seattle Dally l1neS)
 While reconstruction of the Alas ka cable is required to facilitate busi- ness between the states and the North land the relaying of the line is of i'm portance from a military viewpoint. The first replacement work will be done between Seattle and Sitka and plans then call for new cable be tween Sitka and Seward. Further ex- tension is regarded as possible from Seward to Dutch Harbor and from there continuation of the system eith- CT direct or. by way of Yokohama or Shanghai to the Philippines has been a matter of frequent discussion.
 The first piece of Alaska cable was laid between Juneau and Skagway in August. 1901. The line between Seat tie and Sitka was put in operation in August 1904 The extension to Val deg was made later in the same year. The system was completed to Seward
 
 branches it has a length of 2S00 miles.
 With the $750,000 made available in the War Department bill now before Congress a new line can be laid be- tween Seattle and Sitka. To obtain the material and do the work would require a little more than a year and then the next Congress would be eX- pected to appropriate similar sum for reconstruction between Sitka and Seward.
 TNension of the system from Sew ard to Dutch Harboc, a distance of 500 miles, will be certain if the Aleu- tian seaport is selected as a naval station. Dutch Harbor, because of its proximity to the Asiatic coast, is now under investigation by naval officers. It>is distant about 4,000 miles in a di- rect line from the Philippines and 2600 miles from Yokohama.
 Better cable facilities are needed between the United States and the Far East, and recently the report was current that the company owning the Pacific cable might lay an extension to Japan from Dutch Harbor. if the federal authorities should continue their system to that port. A private corporation, however, could not be ex- pected to construct a line from Dutch Harbor to the Orient and divide with the government tolls on through bus mess. Rather the company could bet ter afford to lay it's own cable for the entire distance.
 Whatever the outcome of the tenta- tive and remote plans of the Army and Navy for Far East extension, early reconstruction of the Alaska system will greatly aid business here and in the northern territory.

As the genuine pol tician rejoice
when the policies Of his party are
accepted, so the preacher reioiccs
when the principles he represents

a church is not in the personcl OF
the minister. but in the principles
of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. The
true preacher like the genuine
politician should stand aside and
obliterate homself so that the un-
derlyinp principles should not be
concealed. Many more go to

After these preliminaries Art
Shuck easily carried the eastel

Harmony prevailed in both
camps the Press is pleased to re-
