Dear M. b. Family:
Fannie Walston.

Dear M. b. Family:
The poem used this week is the
first ever selected by our edi1or-in-
chief, for the column. For that
reason, and for the reason that it
suggests an excellent preparation for
the coming winter, it is doubly ap-
preciated. If the Mutuals do not
commit it to memory, l would sug-
gest they keep the copy of it con-
veniently handy, to be read in time
of stress or storm. While the cellars
are being stored with supplies for the
winter, why not preserve a few
thoughts like those in the poem to
give us cheer Till Spring Returns"
Ashville, Maine.
Dear Aunt Madge and All the NJ. BIS
I've been planning ever since that
wonderful day at the reunion to write,
but right away after we had our little
church fair (and all the sisters who
work for these know what that
means)- My children, the two young
est, had measles, and it's been one
thing after another, However, to-day
! received two snapshots of the reunion
from II. IL. and so l got busy right
away
Was so sorry to hear of the death
of Nashti l remember she was almost
the last one ! greeted on coming away.
What a wonderful autumn we are
having. / think June and October are
two of our prettiest months, but were
always so frightfully busy getting
ready for summer and winter.
I'm wondering when we're going to
receive another letter from Susan-by-
the Sea. / know. Susan, summer has
been busy for You as well as the rest
of us. for / had Prospect Harbor callers
to-day, and l inquired all about you,
wonder now many of the NJ. BIS
are Farm Bureau members. Don't you
enjoy the meetings? One of my neigh
bors asked me if l thought il worth ST.
I told her | most certainly did. Why
the one hat | remodeled was worth
more than that, and I've learned so
many other things Miss Howe is Ger
tainly a treasure.
The boys and girls all go to Els
worth Tomorrow and they are all 50
excited. l plan to go also, as I'm so
anxious to see their exhibits. i wish
every village in the county had boys
and girls club We mothers cant do
enough to help, for they are so bene-
fetal.
our Wednesday club Sewing soci-
ety) was invited to West sullivan
ladies' aid society last July, to spend
the dav. We had a fine time and eN-
changed ideas. We hope to have them
return our call after the rush season is
over.
Sorry to hear Aunt Mary's John is IN
poor health Hope he will be benefited
at the hospital l hope to see some oil
the NJ BIS at Riverview Local Union
which meets at Lamoine October 2.
have written so many letters trying to
get the speakers for that day, but now
| feel sure that it is to be a profitable
meeting.
I'm much Interested in reading The
White Flag" by Gene Stratton Porter
a serial in the Good Housekeeping.
We stil have the magazine library
here at my house and l fear l read
many times when l ought to be mend
ing But it's much more fun, isn't it?
And. oh! don't dislike mending
stockings
Where are you Meb? Why don't you
write to the column? Aunt Maria was
asking about you at the reunion. Get
busy, l can talk now that I've writ
ten. Let us all make resolve to do
better and write often and help Aunt
Madge.

ALASKA COLLEGE BILL IS PASSED
 BY UPPER MOUSE
Farthest North College Gets $90,000 - Is First Big
 Appropriation Passed.

The first big appropriation bill of the 1923 session of the Legislature emerged from the hopper today when the Senate passed the Foster bill providing $90.000 for the Allsk1 AsIi- cultural College and Schc1l Of Mines the House having pussed the meas ure yesterday. It is how ready for the Governors approval.
 There was but little debate on the measure. Senators Dunn and Snod- grass urged the importance of every possible measure of support. MT. Chamberlin, saying he was not op- posed to a reasonable amount for the the college, declared he was opposed to giving it $9O,,0O0 If the bill had carried $50,000, he said, he would have voted for It's passage.
 Maintenance Cost Large
 In the next four years. said Mir. Snodgrass. it will cost annually $50,- 900 to maintain the school without any provision for construction of ad- ditional buildings needed, said MT Snodg1ass. Tho amount apprcpriat- cd in the Foster bill was barely suf- ffcient for the maintenance of the school of mines and meant that the agricultural department would be handicapped and neglected.
 MT. Dunn said the college was do ing a great dead of useful work in giving courses in mineralogy to pros pectors and miners which was fitting them better to go into the hills and discover future mines. The institu- tion, he argued, is worthy of the sup. port of every Alaskan.
 The measure passed by a vote of seven to one, MT. Chamberln oppos. ing, for the reason, he said, the amount was too large.
 Pass Fur Tax Law
 The Senate also passed House Bil1 No. 22. the revised fur tax law, in cooperating in it number of amend memts.
 It concurred in the House amend ments to Ayer's bill for a coopera tive arrangement between the Terri tory and the Federal Bureau ol Mines for inspection of mines and mining and suspending the operation of the Territorial Mines Inspection law for q period of two years
 It refused lto concur in the House amendment to Senate Bill No g. which reduced the rate of reasonable return from 10 per cent to 6 pei cert cn capital invested in public ser vice corporations, and asked the House to racede from the amendment All other amendments made by the House were cOGcurred In.
 -4t is not expected that the House will withdraw from it's original post

new PARKING Law
TO Be ENFORCED
Police VIII Erect Signs Between
Pleasant and Verona Avenues
on Main Street.
WILL ARREST OFFENDERS.

The recently passed ordinance to
prohibit the parking Of automobiles
on the northwest side of Main street,
between Pleasant avenue and Verona
avenue, is to be strictly enforced by
the police, but the enforcement is be-
ing delayed until such time as mo
parking" signs "a be erected to warn
offending motorists. The signs are
now being made, and as soon as they
are placed on the street the enforce
ment will be rigidly adhered to.
Main street is blocked quite often
by cars parked on both sides OF the
street in this congested district. and
as many as thirty or forty automo-
biles are lined up at times. The old
ordinance provided that cars might be
parked for a period not exceeding
thirty minutes, but motorists violated
this with impunity.
Chief of Police Marshall stated this
week that as soon as the warning
signs were placed arrests would fol
low any violation of the new ordi-
nance. This action has to be taken
because of the great increase of auto
mobiles in the city. The congestion
is more noticeable at week-ends, but
most any day there r several ma
chimes left standing along the curb for
long periods of time. The police an
ticipate some complaints over the
strict enforcement of the new law,
but their instructions are specific to
carry out the provisions of the law,
and they are prepared TO act accord
ingly.
