NORTHERN NOTES

M. Frank Miller, who is preparing for extensive hydraulic operations on Faith creek holdings next summer, reports that he and his associates are busy these days empounding the waters of Faith creek for summer usage by building up glaciers at the head of the creek. He believes this will prove very satisfactory when the dry spell hits the camp, as the gla- ciers, melting gradually will throw a constant stream sufficient for their needs.
 Sydney D. Charles, editor of the First City News, and Mrs. Charles received severe burns recently at Ketchikan, when a fire occurred on their gasboat, the Bell, while it was moored at the city float. Mir. Charles sustained burns about his face and hands and Mrs. Charles was less ser iously hurt in the same manner. Norma Josephine Hassel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hassel of Fairbanks creek, died last Thursday as the result of pneumonia. She was aged two months and two days. M. Frank Miller and Graziella Gallian were united in marriage at the Presbyterian manse in Fairbanks last week, the Rev. J. F. Vernon | officiating. Witnesses were Mrs. J. F Vernon and Leonidas Vernon. MT Miller left the day following for Faith creek, where he is engaged Il mining, and will be joined there n few days by Mrs. Miller.

The Kennebec journal:
Dear friends of the kennebec
Journal I've been with you number
of years, the EDITORS page l read
first and watch for your smiles and
your tears. Many thoughts are por-
trayed there of interest that are aids
to my intellect small; l think that
this page with it's items Is the best
of the X. J.'s good ALL Now it's not
very nice to be receiving and never a
thought give you back: Now my
brain holds this little impression,
though you may say I'm on the
wrong track.
There's a thought nation wide and
I'm hoping it may be denomination
wide too, For the Bible to be taught
in the school house. l certainly want
it, don't you?
Let this be little advance guard
to blaze a wide trail for Gods book.
Can our little children receive 1t
when out on life's language they
look?
/ The lessons there taught in the
school room have a standard to teach
from let's say. and the standard of
this book the Bible, Is Love. as 1t
was in that day. When God in His
merciful wisdom gave the book for
the children of men. But how are
we using this word Love2 Is it sacred
as 1t was then?
How may the children grasp it, the
teaching of Peace and Good Will. I'M
till Love be so lifted with knowledge
our minds to fill?
Isn't there some way to teach us,
we mothers and fathers of these
days, that Love is not passing fancy
but it's our Heavenly Father always?
The home is the place where the
children their first education begin.
Whatever we teach them. that Love
is, in after life 1t will win.
If they think it a small. selfish
spirit and make it their will power to
do, they may never gain the great
knowledge and follow Loves teach
ings so true. That we find portrayed
in the Bible; To bring Peace and
Good Will unto men. Won't some
one start a crusade to lift the word
Love and then
When people understand 1t they
will want to worship God. instead of
Satan's substitutes that are seen in
every ward.
Then our little ones could grasp 1t,
the Bible truth so plain. oh may we
lift the word Love up in this good
State of Maine.

FOR ARMY AND NAVY

The appropriation for the Army In
1928 was 1852 100000; in 1924 $34S,-
600, 900; in 1925 1851. 1887, 900: for the
navy those same years $322,500,0 900,
1882, 100000 s346,142,0oo. The Navy
air forces have been costing annually
from fifteen to eighteen millions and
that Of the Army from twelve to
fifteen millions. The House favors
an appropriation Of twenty millions
annually for the Nays air forces
and fifteen and a quarter millions for
that branch in the Army. The Senate
Is not expected to make very ma
terial change in this. The antici-
pated furry over the loss Of the
Shenandoah and Colonel Mitchelrs
activities has not yet assumed
threatening proportions.
Notwithstanding the Budget esti-
mate for the Navy was 100000, 900
the House voted $312.000.000. The
Senate bill carried s317,500.00o. 1t
was in charge of Senator Hale
chairman of the committee. who ex-
planned the reasons for the changes
and these were adopted in the Sen
ate in the quickest time on record In
such matters. The bill is now In
conference and Chairman Hale is In
sisting on the retention of $4,000 en-
| listed men, a thousand more than
| provided by the House. 1t appears
his arguments for this change are
supported by the facts.

MEXICO MAKING TROUBLE

"The religious influences Of the
United States, Catholic and Prot
estant alike, are putting pressure on
Senators and members of the House.
as we'll as on the Administrati ton,
for action. They are incensed at
the apparent determination Of the
Mexican government to drive out
every man, woman and institution
below the Rio Grande which smacks
at all Of Americanism."
LEADERS in the American churches
are becoming convinced, according
to the evidence pouring into Wash
ington, that the Government headed
by President Gales. is determined
to drive out not only all religion
which, because of those connected
with 1t, might be branded as Ameri-
can but all religion of Christian
origin."-Carter Field in N. Y. Her
ald-Tribune.
What appears to be the resolve
Of the Mexican Government to rid
itself Of everything bearing the label
"U. S."-always excepting of course
the dollar bearing that symbols
likely to result in unpleasantness.
to say the least.
Pitiful tales are told Of orphan
girls left homeless in Mexico City
az a result Of the attempt to re-
strict all religious teaching to
citizens of Mexico under the anti
religious article Of the Mexican con-
stitution. It is said this law is not
being applied fairly. but to certain
teachers and institutions in which
Catholics and Protestants are in
terested. The vice conditions per-
mitted at Tia Juana are cited as
evidence that a Mexican Govern
ment engaged in deporting religious
teachers is not disposed to deport
or prevent coming those who seek
to indulge in vice. Some are asking
that our Government should demand
from Mexico a border zone fifty
miles wide free from vice. We
suppose that plea would include
both sides of the line.
Undoubtly there are in this country
quite a number Of influential people
who would like to see the northern
half of Mexico annexed to the
United States. Their desire was
not begotten by reason Of recent
disturbances but rather Of con-
viction that there would be money
In vt. They will applaud-along
with the rest Of us-the sentiment
that "a drive against priests and
ministers violates the deepest in
stincts of humanity" But there also
is a worthy bit of advice contained
In the reported suggestions: 1--WE
should not act hastily"

Uncle Lucky's little red -shingled

Climbing down from his seat, the

A Judges Privilege
IN ". WORLDLY

IN. Y. w OrlQ)
If the editor of a newspaper
criticises the President of the United
States. the President can sue him.
but the President cannot summon
him. try him. and. If he chooses.
sentence him to prison. But If the
editor of a newspaper criticises the
most obscure judge of a court of
record in New York, that same
Judge can summon him. can try him.
and can. If he chooses. sentence him
to prison. Only after the Judge who
complains of the criticism has con-
victed the editor can the case be
brought on appeal before another
court in which the Judge on the
bench is not also the complainant.
This is privilege enjoyed by judges
and by nobody else from the Presi-
dent to the village dog-catcher.
