Seeing is Believing.

Haywood Broun, writer and
man of the world whose feature
articles are noticed by all in the
daily press, is credited with this
one about the fair sex. He says
not to blame them-they are born
hathaway and this is what
he means by "that-a-way." She
was tiny little mite of a girl.
She stood on tiptoe to see into the
candy case. In her chubby fist
she tightly clutched a penny.
Nothing seemed to please her and
finally the clerk after pointing
out each kind and telling her in
detail how many for a penny, in
evaporation said, "See here.
Miss, do you want to buy the
whole world dipped in chocolate
and sprinkled with cocoanut all
for a penny" Undaunted, his
diminutiye customer meditated a
moment and theen answered.
Pleathe, thir, femme thee it."

almost as varied as Ford jokes
maybe they figure the way Ford
did, and see it as free publicity.
One now going the rounds is
about the a New York travelling
salesman. He was Jewish and
represented a fashionable ladies
cloak house. Arriving late at
night in a small southern town
he found a group of silent men on
the platform. 1t happened that
they were waiting for the arrival
of a secret agent of the Ku KIux

men left the group, approached
him and said, "Klux2" eyes,
he answered, "Klucks and SCOTS. "

 Old Age 4 ensions

The annual convention of the Grand Pioneers of Alaska. will be held at Nenana the latter part of this month. At the meeting of the Wrangell Igloo Monday night, a res olution was adopted calling upon the Grand Igloo to memorialize the Ter ritorial legislature to enact a law granting an old age pension of s25 a month to Alaska pioneers, whether men or women, which could be ac- cepted in lieu of going to the Pio- neer's Home. The Nome Igloo is asking that such pension be grant ed, and that the Pioneers receive the same regardless of whether they con- tinue to remain residents of Alaska. The Wrangell Igloo favors(a pension law that would apply to only such Pioneers as continued to reside in Alaska.

Essap Contest
 For WrangeN
 School Pupils

As a means of stimulating inter- est and learning the sentiment of the community in regard to the pro posed new playground for the school, the PIT. A. is offering four worth while prizes to the pupils of the school for essays on the subject Will The Proposed New Playground Be of Benefit to The School and How Can it Be Improved?" Two of the prizes will be awarded for the essays by High School pupils which are judged the best and two for essays by the grade pupils. The names Of the contestants will be withheld until after the reading of the essays in order to render perfectly fair decision.
 The playground committee of the PIT. A. selected a large tract com prising blocks 53 adn 54 as the most suitable land available forS play ground site and has asked the City Council to obtain possession of it for the school. While part of the tract is occupied, large part of it can be secured with little trouble and expense. When this has been done, the P.-T. 4. will work for its improvement, and it is expected that number of helpful suggestions will be received from the contest which is being inaugurated, whether the proposed subject for the essays is answered in the affirmative or in the negative. The essays will be read at the next Pr. A. meeting, which will be postponed week or two on account of the absence of Supt. Gross.

Red Cross Field Nurse
 In Wrangell
Miss Ebba Djupe Arrives to
 Make a Survey of Local Conditions-Will Be Here
 Greater Part of Month.

There was a special meeting of the executive committee of the Red Cross at the Town Hall Monday night. Miss Djupe, special fiel5 representative of the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross, meth with the committee, and listened to a report o: the local chapters activi- ties during the past year. The annual roll call for 1922 was not held in Wrangell. The executive committee stated that this was because many people who gave literally to the Red Cross during the war were unwill- ing to continue to contribute for Red Cross work in Europe now that the war is over. Miss Djupe stated that she was glad that this phase of the her attention, as it gave her oppor- tunity to correct false impression. ouS SdlC l4dI iiOI OAS pSAhs O1 lHC mem bership fee goes to Europe. 50 per cent remains in the Chapter; 50 per cent goes for disaster relief, there having been 72 disasters in the United States during the past year. Miss Djupe further stated that the American Red Cross is doing com paratiyely little work in Europe at this time with exception of Near East relief, and that the money that is being spent in Europe is from the War Fund which was raised during the war for war purposes.
 What is being done nationally by the American Red Cross since the close Of the World War has assumed such proportion that Red Cross Chapters throughout the United States find their efforts coordinated with comprehensive program of welfare work touching not alone the disabled war veteran and his de- pendents but public welfare gener- erally.
 Analysis of Red Cross work in the Pacific Division presents interesting details of Red Cross operations in the entire jurisdiction which com prises California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.
 The work of the Wrangell Chapter during the past twelve months in- cludes the making of twenty-two suits of pajamas and twelve conva- lescent robes.
 The materials for the garments were shipped direct from a whole sale house and the expense borne by the local chapter. The cutting was all done here and the findings pur- chased here.
 At the urgent request of the exec utive committee Miss Djupe will re- main in Wrangell two or three weeks. Her work here will include an inspection of the school children, and wherever defects are found they will be brought to the attention of the parents with an earnest request that medical attention be provided

Government Report
 On Fur Farming il
 Alaska, for Year 1922

the Chief of the Biological Survey
 for the Fiscal Year Ended June
 30, 1922. D. 25.)
 All but two of the ten islands oil the southern coast of Alaska under the supervision of the bureau are under lease for fur farming. The lease on Chowiet Island was can Iceled at the request of the lessee, and no favorable consideration has been given to applicants for Simeo- nof Island as it is already occupied by natives and others.
 Reports received from the lessees of the eight other islands indicate Athat nearly all are meeting with sYarying degrees of success. Blue foxes continue to be the chief ani- mals farmed on practically all islands, although a few fur farmers experimenting with black foxes ap- parently are meeting with success, and few small attempts are being made to farm martens. Fur farming in Alaska is still confined to the southern and southeastern coast and adjacent islands.
 For the purpose of securing defi- mite information regarding the con- dition of the fur-farming industry with view of helping to build it up, the chief fur warden, accompa- nied by the bureaus fox-farming ex- pert, has been making a reconnais- sance along the southern coast with the power boat Sea Otter, gathering information to serve as the basis for publication on fur farming in the Territory. Through cooperation with the Forest Service, which is sues permits for fur farming on is lands within the Tongass and Gnu zach National Forests, arrangements are being made for meetings of fur farmers in the Territory during the fall of 1922 for the purpose of con-. ference and organization.
 Fox farming is increasing in the Aleutian Chain, where permits for the use of suitable islands are still being issued free to Natives and at nominal charge to others. Seventeen permits were issued for islands in this chain during the year, making a total of 56 now in effect. Several permits for islands were cancelled on recommendation of the bureaus rep esentative at Unalaska, some per mittees having died and others hay ing failed to make use of their per mits or having attempted to trans fer them withot approval. The na- tiyes are encouraged to use all suit able islands for the propagation of foxes.
 A bill now pending in Congress, if enacted will authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to lease all islands or other unoccupied Government lands lying outside of government reser- yations in Alaska or issue permits for grazing or fur farming on them. Fur farming in the Territory is al ready becoming an important indus try and can be made still more profit able by suitable legislation for the protection of those engagedtin it.
 The experiment of propagating martens in the Territory has not yet met with much success. Only one out of nine individuals holding per mits reports progress. Several have discontinued their attempts, and it is probable that the successful propoga tion of these animals will be slow in developing. Discovery of the mating season of martens at the experiment tai fur farm in New York should be helpful in this connection.
