Seward Grill Undergoing
 Extensive Renovations

Mel Holben, proprietor of the Sew ard Grill, closed his place up early this week so as to make necessary re- pairs, put in new fixtures and re- arrange the dining room.
 The large room that has been used for the Chamber of Commerce weekly luncheons and meeting place, has been cut out and several boxes now take up the space. However, the boxes are so made, that they can be dissembled and set aside on short notice to ac commodate banquet gatherings and dinner parties.
 Several open tables have been plac- ed in the space where the boxes were formerly located, adding greatly to the apparance of the place. The in- terior has been thoroughly renovat- ed and repainted and new counter top made. John Helm is to be com plimented for his efforts in making the counter top.
 The place will be recpene9 .atJ to- night or early in the morning.

Eielson Will Land on
 Sand Bar at McGrath

Lieut. Ben Eielson, who piloted his airplane to McGrath and return We'd nesday last, completing the seventh of the ten test flights, has chosen sand bar for landing place at McGrath. He says the landing field which has been considered by the McGrath peo- pie, and on which some preliminary work had been done, was found to be not suitable for his needs. He was un- able to examine the field over by Ia kotna.
 The sand bar was found to adequate for saef landing and take-off. Only one detrimental condition existed-that of floods. The Kuskokwim and it's tribu- taries are susceptible to flood either from breakup or rain, and it's is bare ly possible that his next flight, which is due to be made during the high water stage, will be delayed as conse- quence.
 Pilot Eielson reports that regardless of a consignment of more than five hundred pounds of mail and in addl- ton, repair parts and propeller for the plane a quick trip was made to McGrath Wednesday morning.

Luncheon and Program
 Are Pleasant Affairs

The officers of the Seward Women's Club entertained the members and few guests with a two course lunch con on Thursday afternoon at one thirty, in their room under the Bank of Seward. The club room is more than ordinarily attractive at any time and made a splendid impression when dressed up for the luncheon, which was served at one long table. Twenty two members and guests found their places which were designated by dain- ty placards. The table appointments were lovely, shaded candles shedding their soft glow over snowy linens and gleaming silver. Sprays of rose ger aniums and floral center piece form ed the decorative motif.
 Among the speakers for the occa- sion were Mrs. Jones, Los Angeles club woman who is visiting in Seward while her husband is hunting to the Westward. -lae told of the activities of one of the largest Los Angeles Wo- mems Clubs which boasts member ship of 1850 with a large waiting list, and one of the four Southern Clubs which have been organized in the city.
 Miss l7lower, daughter of John H. Flower of this city, interested her audience very much with the account of her work which is the care of epi leptic children. She has home in Winchendon, Massachusetts, where she cares for ten afflicted children whose parents are among the wealth fer class in the United States. She plans upon her return home to estab- fish another home for less fortunate children whose parents can not afford to place them under professional care.
 Mrs. McMullen spoke upon Civic Beauty and stressed the importance of care in gathering wild flowers and shrubs if we wished to have them in the same profusion in the future. She told of the extinction of California's thousands of rhodendrons in the Red Wood forests in less than five years, just thru ruthless destruction in the gathering of them for decorative pur- poses.
 Guests for the afternoon were Mrs. Jones, Miss Flower and Miss Grace Stutzel.
 After the luncheon the members and guests repaired to the Methodist Church where a musical recital was given at three o'clock. The recital was open to the public and number of town people attended. Mrs. Donald H .Tyer rendered a number of piano selections and Mrs. Edith Schmidt and Mrs A. J. Goodskey played three duets on violin and piano. The plat form was decorated in very attrac- tive way, Mrs. Harriet M. Dunlap hav- ing charge of the decorations and the program. The numbers were we'll ren- dered and heartily encored by the au- dience.

WASHINGTON, D C., May 16- Smouldering differences between the members of the Daughters of the War of 1912 and the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom burst into a sputtering flame tonight at a public meeting of the latter orGani1a- tion when Mrs. Nobel Newport Potts, president of the District of Columbia society of the Daughters, rose from an inconspicuous seat and demanded direct replies to a set of prepared questions.

 The law defiance motion, introduced by negro delegate, Robert P. Hayes of the central Missouri delegation, was referred to committee, and was generally interpreted as against the Ku Klux Klan. It referred to those "whose zeal is burning but whose methods are hidden, whose aims are probably for good but whose results are damaging to the perpetuity and harmony of the country"

Hoof and Mouth Disease
 Believed Under Control

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 16.- If credence may be placed in the state ments of the fifty government veter- inarians sent to California during the last week by Secretary of Agricul ture Wallace to cope with the foot and mouth disease, that virulent epidemic which since it's inception last January has cost the farmers of this state more than S2,000,000 in livestock, now is virtually complete control, and is ex- pected to be effectually stamped out within the next sixty days.
 Of sixteen counties under quaran- tine a month ago because of sporadic outbreaks of the disease only six re- main in which rigid quarantine me thods still prevail. In three of these, government veterinarians say, all live stock affected or exposed to the di- sease has been slaughtered, but strict precautionary methods are being talk en to guard against further infection. In the other three counties, animals are still being driven into great tren- ches where they are being shot down by rifle men and the carcasses bur jed with steam shovels after they have been soaked with oil and burned. In the three counties where the di- sease still is dangerously active, the infected districts have been confined to relatively small areas and within a few days all animals, either affected or exposed will have been extermin- ated and the further spread of the di- sease effcctually checked.

Joiner, of the Skagit superior court pronounce sen tence on her yesterday, she burst in to vehement lamentations and wiring ing her hands, cried aloud The young woman was charged with first degree forgery, and she was senten- ced not less than eighteen months nor more than three years in the peniten- tiary at Walla Walla.
