HUMBLE HOME IS
 TREASURE HOUSE OF
 FAIRBANKS RESIDENT

| Nearly nine thousand dollars in gold coin and currency, and also gold dust, nuggets and jewelry, rep rescnting the accumulated savings of many years, were found hidden at the bottom of rough chest in the cabin home of Laura Thompson, Fairbanks, as the result of a search by members of the local marshaps office following the detention of the woman on an alleged insanity charge.
 The gold coin, silver and currency, when stacked and counted ;n the marshals office, totaled $S,G59,62. It was contained in canvas poke, to- gether with moosehide pokes holding the dust, nuggets and jewelry.
 Laura Thompson, who is now con- fined in the detention hospital pend- ing a hearing as to her sanity, has been a familiar figure on the streets of Fairbanks since the early days. Accepting work whenever offered, and apparently leading an existence which would indicate near poverty, it was believed by everyone that she was eking out bare living. The discovery of the hidden savings in her humble and almost bare 'lome came as a surprise to the searchers, who were making the examination preparatory to taking the property in trust.
 With money sufficient to assure her a modest standard of living for the remainder of her years, the de- sire to save had been carried too far. Her condition, brought about largely hv privation. it is believed is such that she will reap little benefit from her years of toll.

VALENTINE DAY

Love sent in Valentines today Is cold. Much more they used to say, When Claudius was emperor, And Roman lads marched off to war It may seem strange to me md you And nevertheless it's very true, A Valentine in Latin writ Could be a very tender bit. To Valentine, a bishop then, To tell their troubles came you men For Claudius had edicts read That no young warriors should be
 wed,
 For single men, he said, were quite More likely to put up a fight; Said he was sorry if it veXed, But Mars came first and Venus next. But Bishop Valentine, old saint Was much opposed to such restraint. So all~t the sweehearts in old Rome Left letters at the Bishops nome, And set their weddings for 1Ges, When Valentine made them war
 brides.
 Such were the Valentines of old. But young men now are not so bold.

EASY VICTORIES FOR E. &S. AND
 LADIES' TEAM
Standing of the Teams

Three of the four teams in the bas- ket ball league are now tied for first place as a result of the 39 to 15 vic tory last night of the Finkelstein & Sapiro team over the Elks. l Six games played, and three teams tied fo; the lead. What more could the fans desire?
 It was a fast and close game during the first half, the teams leaving the floor with the score books showing 14 to g, lead of only five points for the store men.
 It looked as though the Elks had merely had a little tough luck, and many a spectator was sagely telling | his neighbor that the next half would see them stepping up into the lead. To heighten this impression, the first bas- ket thrown in the second period was tossed by an Elk, which brought the ] score to IA to Il.
 But from this point on to the end of the game. the B. P. 0. Els steadily lost ground, and the game slowed up considerably.
 But there is no way around it that F. & s. bunch sure is basket ball team-
 The next game on the schedule is that of the High School vs. the Elks, +o LD ,lnraI ETriJau ioh If the High School captures this game it will place them at the head of the percentage column. But more than one tail-ender early in the season has finally won the pennant, and it is more than possible that the Elks, now that they have gotten their bad games out of their system, may hit their stride Friday night ard start a win Ding streak by beating the school lads. The line-ups of the teams in last nights game were:

Another victory last night for the Ladies' Town Team over the High School Girls, this time by the score of 13 to s.
 This is the third win for the Ladies. One more will entitle them to the seven small silver basket balls that have been put up as trophies by a local business man for the team win ming four out of seven games.
 But even if they did lose, the school girls put up glorious fight that warmed the hearts of their rooters. | The girls were in the game every min | ute, and they didn't lose because they didn't try, but simply because they i went up against team that out 1 played them.
 It was a game such as spectators seldom are privileged to witness. There was not slow moment in the whole match. The players on both teams did not merely strive hard to gain possession of the ball; they ac, tually fought over it. There was no ill-feeling evidenced between the play CTS, but it was striking example of rivalry raised to it's nth power in clean sport.
 The Ladies may justly be proud of their quintet. They have a team that | is proficient in all departments of the game, and their teamwork shows the result of careful training
 The next game between the teams will be played next Wednesday night This should be another battle royal, as it will be the last chance for the High School Girls to take at least one game and prevent being whitewashed in the series.
 The line-ups in last nights game were:
 Ladies' Team High School Howard ...-...-....... R. F. ........... Smith | NicOlet . l.. F. ............ Tibbs | Nafster ...A............... c. ....... Holdiman and Dyson Muller ................,-. R. G. ........ Downing Henderson ...,........ l.. G. ...-........ Waln

DEFECTIVE HEARING

By far the largest number of cases fin defective hearing result from the conditions brought about by inham- nation Of the mucuos membrane of the nose and pharynx Adenoid in the nasopharynx is another chief cause. Especially Is this true in the time Of childhood and youth.
 Parents are advised not to overlook that little ailment in their children. It may result from acute rhinitis, in which the ears are often affected and just as aften wholly neglected. Other contributing causes are influenza, measles and typhoid fever, and such constitutional diseases as rheumatism, gout and syphilis.
 Prevention is our only hope. The real tragedy comes when the local aura1 structures have yielded to these different influences ,anr have under gone distinct pathological changes. Then little or no help can avail Ear drops, nasal douches. electric yibra- tions or even Yellow Mountain rattle snake oil will not avail.
 Here is where a health examination. twice a year or even once, could save a child from lifelong trouble.
