While the pupils of the Home sang the National Anthem, the troop of Boy Scouts standing at attention and in salute, and citizens of Seward and dignitaries of the Methodist Episcopal church stood uncovered, the halyards frightened, and climbing into the billiant sunshine of a perfect day, Old Glory led her child to the top most heights of the towering f1agpole where both strengthened out and fut- tered proudly in the cooling breezes blowing in from Resurrection Bay. About the Zero Milestone of imper- ishable concrete, erected in honor of the children of the United States, whose pennies, nickels and dimes con- tributed the cost of the new S6O,0OO building, the entire student body was
 
 grouped in a hollow square. Within the square, a platoon of Jesse Lee Home Boy Scouts stood like bronze statues. In the foreground and group ed about the Zero Milestone, were Bishop W. o. Shepard of the Method ist-Episcopal area, Portland, Ore. Mrs. J. T. Mcqueen, representing the Home Mission Board ofthe Methodist Episcopal church; Rev. J. T. Mcqueen superintendent of the Methodist Epic copal church in Alaska; Dr. R. E. Smith, superintendent of the Spokane district, representing the Home Mis- sion Board, and Mrs. Annie Hobbs Woodcock of California, whose efforts in organizing the "Baltos" of the Unit ed States made the new building a possibility.
 Dedication Services
 The flag raising was part of the ceremony of dedication of the new building and of the Zero Milestone for which the church dignitaries journeyed to Alaska
 Preceding the flag ceremonies, the entire school assembled in the chapel in the "Balto" building, where a short religious and pageant service was held

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

A shipwreck in mid-ocean and the
decision among four men as to who
shall BIZ the one to survive and eat
the last biscuit and drink the last
bit of water furnish the big kick in
the comedy act of Gus Fay and
Company. az
Mr.. Fay's comedy is suggestive OF
the burlesque stage and is of the
brand that takes no thought in order
to grasp the meaning. He is
funny and there is the secret. The
act numbers one woman and three
other men besides Fay. but he is the
whole thing.
The Demaux and Hamilton Revue
has nothing to offer except the
dancing of the man and woman
dancing team. There are one or two
specialties by different members Of
the act that are fair. but they lack
the snap needed.
The dancing team is different in
that their work has an air about it
of being sincere and we'll planned.
The second number by this team is
a. short masterpiece in setting,
costume and dancing. Can't de-
scribe the dance but it is our idea
of what an excellent dance number
looks like.

Art is series of poses by two wom-

If there's anywhere in Indianap-
oils that Mr.. Germ and all his fam
lily should feel positive hopelessness,
it's in our local authorized creamer-
les diaries.
There he's surely out of luck, for
there's scarcely the trillionth of a
chance that he can slip by chemists
and their assistants VINO now are
an inevitable part of modern dairy
creamery equipment, and who begin
testing and working wish milk from
the time it arrives from the farms.
Indiana has stringent rules and
standard tests by which it keeps its
milk supply in sanitary and health
full control. The city milk ordinance
is even more stringent, for instance,
requiring 3.6 per cent butterfat
against the State requirement of
1926 per cent. The dairymen seem
inclined to go the law one better
and in numbers of diaries visited,
sanitary precautions, machinery and
equipment installed are far beyond
that actually required.
Never Touched by Hands
Bottles and milk in such diaries
never are touched by human hands.
All that human ingenuity can do to
make milk "safe for democracy" In
dianapolis dairymen are doing. OF
course, it's business. A tiny per cert
of too much acidity, an overlooked
"weediness" of flavor or "stringi-
ness" in milk or cream could bring
grave results.
The big dairies, at least, have
field men" in constant touch with
farmers who furnish the dairies
supply. II milk falls below its prop
er amount of butter fat, if it's too
acid or exhibits the slightest unto
ward symptom, the field men con-
suit the farmers from whose place
the milk has come. An average of
four sample tests a week are taken
of each farmers product.
w. A. Schilling, chemist, and his
two assistants at Folks submit milk
to as many as forty-one different
tests which deal with quality and
sanitation. At Weber Milk Com
pany, the chemist, Frank Stake
back, devotes much time to tests
and experimentation with cheese, as
that is an important product of this
dairy.
One of this firm, John Weber, was
the inventor of the famous "Angel
Drink" patented and now sold in
ninety-six cities of the United
States.

er whose mythical millions had

TENDER, is beginning life anew
Cooper, his wife and four children
are now reunited in the new ven
ture after several months during
which Cooper has been on the road
following his trade as an iron
worker.
First Was Accepted
The story of the Cooper fortune
and the attendant requests went the
rounds of the nation, and for some
time it was accepted as reality.
Then doubt arose and telegraph
wires hummed as newspapers sought
information upon the announced
Cooper inheritance of $3.50 acres OF
Virginia farm land and about ST.
10000, largely invested in govern
ment bonds.
The existence of the estate OF his
great grandmother, Mrs. Mary Brad
ford, was discovered to be a myth,
but the story behind this story is
now told for the first time.
Cooper himself was the victim OF
the hoax, the dupe of an aged father
who used the mythical inheritance"
to get square" with son who
used another path rat.ler than the
strict religious one planned for him.
Starting New Chapter
Frank Cooper, the aged father,
and his brother, Johns uncle, were
very religious according to the story.
A religious career was planned for
John, but he didn't accept their
ideas. He left home, changed his
religion, married, and raised a fam
lily. He knew as a lad, of some sort
of an estate that the family would
some day i. inherit.
For fourteen years John and his
father were as strangers. Then
came the copy of the purported 'a't
will and testament OF Mary Brad
ford, naming John as legatee on his
thirty-third birthday. This was
alleged to have been the fathers
plan of Furnishing his son, an act
which resulted in the loss of Coop
er's reputation.
On their suburban farm, the Coop
ers are preparing to start a new
chapter in their lives, trying to for
get the past. Their farm is their
hope and there is no thought Of
high finance now.
