To Foil the Laundry.

A Canadian inventor claims to have
solved one of the greatest problems
of the age by producing shirt cuff
which presents four wearing surfaces.
1t is detachable, reversible and inter
changeable. The economical man who
wishes to wear shirt two days will
thus be able to present a perfectly
clean cuff twice a day. If he wishes
to have his cuffs match his necktie
and his hose in color he will be able
to 10 so with ease. The principal
trouble with this announcement Is thar
1t is too good to be true. If the inven-
ton Is all that is claimed for 1t, some
way will be found to bluff mankind
from taking full advantage of IT.

CHAPTER xXVIII

To Simon, the night had seemingly
ended in triumph, after all. 1t had
looked dark for while The bolt Of
lightning, setting fire to the pine, had
deranged all of his plans. His men
had been thrown from their horses,
the blazing pine tree had left them
exposed TO fire from the house, and
they had not yet caught their mounts
and rallied. Young Bill and himself,
however, had tied their horses before
the lightning had struck and had lin
gered in the thickets in front of the
house for just such 1. chance as had
been given them.
He had not understood why Bruce
had not opened fire on the fleeing
Turner's. He wondered If his enemy
were out of ammunition. The tragedy
OF the Sentinel Pine mad had no mean
ing for him; and he had held his rifle
cooked and ready for the instant that
Bruce had shown himself
+. Young Bill had heard his little ex-
'ultant gasp when Linda and Bruce had
come out into the freight. Plainly
they had kept track of all the attack
ing party that had been visible, and
supposed that all their enemies had
gone. He felt the movement of 81
mons strong arms as he raised the
rifle. Those arms were never Steadier.
In the darkness the younger man
could not see his face, but his own
fancy pictured it with entire clearness
The eyes were narrowed and red, the
lines cut deep about the bloodhound
lips, and mercy was as far from him
as from the Killer who hunted on the
distant ridge.
But Simon didn't fire at once. The
two were coming steadily toward him,
and the nearer they were the better
his chance of success in the unsteady
light. He sat as breathless, as wholly
free from telltale motion as a puma
who waits in ambush for an approach
ing deer. He meant to take careful
aim. 1t was his big chance, and he
intended to make the most of ii.
The two had halted beside the
ruined pine, but for a moment Simon
held his fire. They stood rather close
together; he wanted to wait until

''The secret agreement between your

And we've won"
He watched her eyes brighten. It
seemed TO him that nothing life had
ever offered had given him the same
pleasure. 1t was moment of triumph.
But before half OF its long seconds
were gone, it became moment Of
despair.

Standards In The
Home

Theology is the preaching of
everlasting damnation to
those who don't believe as
we do. Some others believe
that good religion means to
put on an ice cream face and
go sing hallelujah at church
and that the gates of heaven
will be opened wide for those
who have the longest face
and sing the loudest.
Perhaps that may be al
right but we can also take a
chance on making the world
a little brighter and a better
place to live in by helping
those who are slipping; help
them to realize that when
ever the home dies every
thing dies with it; that there
is an earthly reason for hon
esty and industry other than
the mere fact of a promised
heaven after we die which
seems so far off to many
men, women and children
that they are not dazzled by
it.
1t will profit a man as
much to give him some
worthwhile assistance in the
handling of his temporal af-
fairs as to drum into his ears
the beauties of a paradise
and at the same time let
him 60 onto the rocks finan-
cially or in his domestic af-
fairs until he is wrecked
morally and spiritually and
feels like the preaching is
cheap. Of course it is cas-
ier to preach the beauties of
heaven for the hereafter and
let our associates be dragged
to purgatory by the over
load of everyday affairs,
when some of them haven't
the necessary capacity to
handle the situation.
Heaven will be a great
deal closer to the individual
and the community; there
will be less. vice and crime;
fewer divorces and ruined
homes; fewer lost sons and
daughters and more full
happy family circles when
we as organizations and in
dividuals give more atten-
ton to the making of clean
er more attractive surround
lngs; more comfortable con-
veniences and brighter cheer
in the home so that mother,
father and the children will
be drawn and kept there;
more efficiency in the hand

 Judge Vim was also one of the fisheries lawyers of the North. He has represented many of the large cannery concerns operat- ing in Alaska and on one or more occasions he represented al lof them. For three years he was receiver for the old Pacific Packing and Naviga- ton Company, which owned sixteen canneries besides considerable fleet of vessels. He operated six canneries throughout the receiver ship, and wound up the affairs ol the company.

STANDARD OIL. WILL | P U I IN
 SEWARD STATION
Construction Engineer Aboard Alameda to Start Work
 To Be Well Equipped.

After a thorough and analytical study of business conditions today in Southwestern Alaska the Standard Oil Company of California has de- cided to establish a sub station at Seward it is announced by the com pany. R. H. Fleser from the Seattle office is aboard the steamer Alameda and will be in charge of this con struction work. He is accompanied by Mrs. Fleser and their daughter.
 The growth of the community of Seward and narticuiarly the com, munity's prospects for expansion and progress for the future has been some of the important factors which has brought this service to Alaska, it is stated This will give the town of Seward large supply @ Standard Oil products backed up by the pro- gressing marketing system of this company which, will mean an i'm proved service for the entire com munity
 Location
 The site which is proposed is To- cated on the waterfront at Seward approximately one-quarter of mile northerly from the government wharf. A portion of the site will be used as yard for five large storage tanks--which will carry fuel oil, Calol Deisel Oil, Engine Distillate, Red Crown Gasoline and Pearl oil. The balance of that portion of the site to be developed will be used for a warehouse location, boiierhouse, and other buildings, and also will comprise the sub station yard over which trucks can operating in load ing products for edistribution to the local trade.
 A wharf of sufficient size to accom- modate the larger steamers will be located at a sufficient distance out from shore to insure a proper depth of water for all boats that may de- sire to land at this station. This wharf will be connected to the shore with an approach upon which will be laid pipe lines through which oil will be pumped into the storage tanks Dy tue tdukeTS JHemSelVeS.
 Standard Style
 All buildings, tanks and other nec- essary structures will be painted with the light gray paint which has been adopted as that familiar and standard combination by the Stand ard Oil Company of California and the entire exterior of the site devxel- oped will be enclosed by an attract i've wire fence strung on steel posts.
 The construction of the buildings, tanks and the filling in of this tract to make it suitable for handling the distribution of petroleum products will require the expenditure of many thousands of dollars, and the opera tion of the plant will give employ ment to number of men, officials of the company in charge, state.
 Contemplation for the establish ment of sub station at Seward has been underway sometime by the com pany. Last winter an engineer was sent there to locate most favorable site.
