B0YCE ATEN HEAD
SAYS INSURANCE
MUST Be RENEWED
Post Will. Soon Appoint
Committee to Handle
Reinstatement.

Colonel Charles l.. Phillips, COM
mander of Boyce Aten Post, Ameri-
can Legion, calls the attention of
all ex-service men to the fact that
war time insurance, which was is
sued to all members of the army,
navy and marine corps during the
World War, and has since been al
lowed to lapse, must be reinstated
by July of this year.
Policies up to $4,000 were issued
by the government during the war
on the basis of term insurance. Since
the conclusion of the war ex-ser-
vice men retaining their insurance
have been allowed to convert it
into straight life insurance, or insur-
ance following the plans of the regu-
lar companies, including endowment
policies or paid up policies after a
certain number OF payments have
been made.
The United States veterans bu-
rcau handles the insurance for the
government, or rather it is the de-
partmcnt of the government to
which the insurance has been as
signed.
Because the insurance is sold by
the government, which does not have
to pay dividends or maintain large
force of statesmen and branch of
fees, the insurance for the eXser-
vice man can be sold at a very low
! price. Leading insurance men
throughout the country, including
>he heads of the largest insurance
companies, arc unanimous in advls-
! ING the ex service man to keep his
government insurance and in urging
those who have allowed it To lapse
to reinstate their policies.
Boyce Atcn post will shortly ap-
point committee TO take care of
the reinstatement of insurance, Col
onel Phillips stated today, and ar
rangcmrntS will be made to extend
every assistance to all cx-scrvlce
whether or not they are members of
the American Legion.

l.-Smitten by the everlasting lust
fer gold, and widely press agentcd
reports of a gold strike in the Mo
ave desert hundreds of amateur
pI osp,ctors have staked out claims
in the "kramcy Hills section,
two hours ride from here on a paved

The modern "gold strike was
first announced six weeks ago, by
Ed Herkclrath. old time prospector,
and his cousin, John Herkelrath,
who own 100 acres Of land in the
Kramer territory.
The AIIcrkclraths have refused to
allow expert mining men and pros
pcctors to examine the ore vein they
claim to have uncovered, and tn"
81 foot shaft they have sunk on
their tract. They insist, however
they are producing high grade ore
that assays 5000 a ton, and on av-
cragc yield of $2S to the ton.
The Herkelrath vein, it is claim
ed, runs parallel to the famous Vel
low Astcr vein, richest mine in

Attracted by the claims of the
lIerkclraths, the modern gold seek.

CONGRESSMELN HAD
THEIR DANDER UP
BY WILLIAM j. McEVOY

WASHINGTON, April IA
near fist fight between Repre-
scntativcs Rankin. Mississippi,
Democrat, and Mills, New York,
Republican, occurred in the
house chamber today when the
Judge English impeachment
ease was called up.
The two members were pre-
vented from coming to actual
blows by Sergeant at Arms
Rogers and several Democratic
members.
Rankin became angry when
Mills requested him to with
draw demand for Il quorum
call.
They exchanged several in
audible words before Rankin
made Il strenuous effort to en-
gage in physical combat with
Mills.
''You can t insult me. Ran
kin shouted. "You dirty, con-
emptible scoundrel!' -
1t took four Democrats and
Rogers to keep Rankin from
springing onto Mills. Rankin is
about five feet nine inches tall
and slight of build and Mills is
about the same height but
slightly heavier.
While the Democratic mem
bers were struggling with Ran
kin, he kept shouting at Rog-
crs:
"Takc that scoundrel over on
the Republican side of the
house, where he belongs. -
Mills had gone over on the
Democratic side of the chamber
10 appeal to Rankin to with
draw his demand for a quorum
call in the interest of speeding
the impeachment debate.
The incident threw the house
into uproar and it was several
minutes before Speaker Long
worth finally restored order.

/ Another thing these various Cham
bers of Commerce are cooperating
in a way they have not done in the
past. Alaska is more or less notorious
as we all know for it's lack of cooper
alton between it's various communi-
ties. And that is one of the things
that handicaps Washington, is the
inability to be able to get an unani-
nous opinion on any subject Ano-
Their thing that we may be optimistic
in is the fact that business is growing
and that more people are arriving in
the territory.
"Secondly I wish to bring out the
fact that the school system is getting
better and bigger all the time. l ex-
pect that you will say that those of
us in the business would naturally
think so, but l believe that statistics
will bear out the statement. We had
an enrolment of over 800 over the
previous year, and while I have not
been able to check up for the present
year, 1 believe that it will go well
over the 5000 mark.
"You all of course realize your To-
cal school conditions, perhaps better
than 1 can tell you, yet an outsider
will get certain impressions. l don't
know if anything is wrong with your
town in a business way, but if so I
feel your school is responsible for it.
Probably the lack Of foresight in pro-
viding school facilities has been one
of the things which has occasioned
the lack of business. I believe that
everyone recognizes the fact that any
one thinking of locating in a town
inquiries first about its schools and
churches, and if they can be assured
that they will have an adequate ele-
mentary school and also high school,
they are more favorable to that To-
cality than to one that does not afford
them.
you don't have to be told what
you have in the way Of school
plant here 1t has been out-grown
long ago. This is especially true of
the high school. l think of course
that the high school which you have
witnessed for the past year is about
half of what it might have been if you
| had had the proper facilities. But the
students were in the basement, and a
small room called library, where it
was difficult for boys and girls of the
adolescent age to learn, and think
| they are worth anything. Also it is
hard to have the right kind of equip
ment. What you have done is an i'm
provement over the old, in securing
the new building and moving the
high school in it, and yet anyone who
visits the building and sees what it
provides realizes that it is inadequate
1t is a good bank building, or business
building, but there is no way to pro-
vide the facilities there, that should
be provided in a good high school.
1T is easy to see how a new saw
mill, cannery or cold storage plant
may build up your town, but good
school plant will do the same thing.
expect we people in the school work
are always looking for better school
conditions, and am not attempting
to advise how much you should spend
for school in your town, but your
greatest need in Seward is better
school buildings and facilities. How
soon you can get it is a matter you

The steamer Starr crew votes the Sand Point dance the event of the season, according to announcement
 made yesterday. The personnel of

 of Sand Point, assisted by the colfish queen of Pirate Cove. The outstand- ing feature of the event was the solo dance by MT. Freeman L. Dorrance, accompanied by Wreck" Beach, a brother to Palm, and his famous banjo.

 obtain one fleeting glimpse of their long lost ''love." Some went so far
 as to use binoculars which, of course,
 was all in the spirit of fun One of
