Victoria Campolo, the South American skyscrapcr, may be b'g bum. Or he may be a good fightrr. Or he may be coming champion.
 Anyhow. just at the present tiE.e, he comes as a huge relief to the long suffering customers, who have been reading about the silly Striblirss, Sharkeys. Schmeings, ct al.
 Campolo is like the long deferred money from home-the good old basket of chips on a frosty morning. The bumptious behemoth of Bueros Aires may be the savior of the heavyweight situation.
 He stands six feet six and one half inches and weighs PA pounds, which is itself is enough to cause excitement. Of course, there have been mastodons in the ring before. And for the most part they have been palookas.
 Remember Fig Jess?
 Jess Willard was a giant, slightly smaller than Campolo, and he wcn the heavyweight championship. But he was never great champion. However. he could hold out a long left arm and keep a lot of ambitious maulers at a distance and win thc decision. But as we all know. Jack Dempsey got around that.
 Fred Fulton, Carl Morris, Wayne and Monte Mum were Coloasa, fighters They had a brief day in the limelight, but their chief bid for fame was their fancy diving into the resin box. That is why lot Ci guys are already predicting a Ike future for big Nictorio.
 Jim Jeffries was giant and a lot of people still think he was tHt greatest fighter of them all. l.oms | Angel Firpo. the Wild Bun of tho | Pampas, a compatriot of Campo!o was big and tough and nobody. | chump in the ring, And neittlel was he outside of the ring, for ht went back to South America W,Tf a very tidy bundle of dough aflol his short campaign in the American ! ripr

FELTON,

The farmers are getting ready for
their spring work as soon as the
ground is clear of the snow. The
beautiful weather has made them
feel like getting out the past week,
but the snow has kept them in.
The potato buyers are packing po-
tatoes very slow and at much low
er price. The price has dropped to

A lot of work awaits the commits
sioners of the town. Hubbard ave-
nue. has been "a frightful condition,
also Main street below the concrete
part of the street. Bowers is over
flowed several times each year. $279
worth of shells put on Hubbard ave-
nue. last spring; shells ground fine
by the heavy traffic; along comes the
high tides and the shells are wash
ed in the marsh. 1t is a problem
what to put on the street. Crushed
stone, while expensive, would be a
saving in the end. Something will be
done by the commissioners to make
the streets more passable for the
summer business.

tainments of any kind, ever given in
this town. The program which Mrs.
Reed thought out and gave to the
public was one which will be hard
to duplicate.
The first number given was a Sc
lection on the piano and violins, fol-
lowed by the invocation by Rev.
Frank Willis. Then the audience
sang America" The singing by
Miss Inez Willis was rendered in a
very attractive manner.
The six young ladies who gave the
minstrel part of the show, did their
parts in a very creditable way. Miss
Hyacinth Lynch dressed as far
mer, recited the poem entitled "Del-
aware" This was fine. The recita-
| ton by Mrs. Lawrence Warren was
thoroughly enjoyed. The selected
quartet composed of Tucker, West,
Warren and Reed, sang some of the
old time ballads, consisting of Am
erica the Beautiful" "Old Black
Joe," Garry Me Back to Old Virgin
ia" and many others; but when the
quartette sang that old sweet melo-
dy when You and 1 Wewere Young
Maggie" the audience was stilled,
and the conclusion of the song
hearts were noticed in the eyes of
many of those assembled.
d. H. Reed of E., being present
was called upon to sing his wonder
full bass solo entitled ASLEEP in
the Deep" Dave was at his best and
sang in such charming manner as
to bring down the house.
The "set out" consisting of chic
ken salad, saltines, cherries, minis
and ice cream was given free to all
who were present.
The orchestra composed of Mrs.
Fitzgerald of Lincoln, Mr.. Hudson
and son of Milford, West and Jeff
erson of Glendale, dispensed sweet
music throughout the entertain
ment.
The Ladies Aid may have many
more gatherings of this kind before
the debt on the parsonage is paid in
full but none which they may have
will in any manner equal that which
has been brought forth by the I'M
firing efforts of Mrs. Della Bunting
Reed
Mrs. Reed wishes to thank every
one who in any way helped to make
the undertaking a success.
The receipts, clear of all expenses,
were $4,000.
The EpwOrth League social will
meet with Rev. and Mrs. Frank Will
lis at the parsonage on Monday eve
ming, March 4th at 1880 o'clock.
A full attendance of the members
is desired.
The Pilgrim Holiness Church, 10
Gated at Milton, seems from all re-
ports to be having a wonderful re-
vival at this time. People who at
tend the services become so deeply
interested, they simply forget to go
home after their meals, but remain
until the end of the session.
The writer wonders if some of
this revival spirit could not be in
duced to foster itself on the hearts
and souls of women and men of Ell
lendale, and cause them to seek a
more righteous way of living. If
the world is ever brought to the feet
Of Jesus, the people must forsake
many things which they now indulge
it, and cleave only to that which is
right. No difference what the higher
critics may say about our mode of
worship, we say the "old time re-
ligion is good enough for ALL" Let's
get back to the good old times when
our mothers and fathers worship
God in spirit and in truth. We think
this is the safe way. Don't you?
Experience breeds tolerance

"There must be, and is, some way
to head off this steady drift toward
degeneracy, for the moral forces of
community are far greater than
the influences for evil-at least we
are so taught. We cannot legislate
our people back to their pre-war
conditions, which spelled both rev.
erence for the sacred things and a
high sense of morality that domi-
mated humanity and guided it into
the high grounds of spiritual at
tainment.
Father Tucker has done the COM
munity a fine service by fearlessly
calling attention TO the danger that
is menacing the avaricious, pleas
ure-loving world today"

Wedding bells will soon ring again
guess who? 1t seems strange but
yet it is true, whenever a woman or
man contemplates an early marriage
the faces of the coming bride and
groom seem to say to the world be-
hold our happiness. They seem to lie
bubbling over with joy. All right,
girls and boys, you are entitled to
all the pleasure you can possibly
have, but be sure, if you can, that
the one who is to be your life COM
panion, is suitable in every respect.
Don't marry in haste, or one who
is too young. After years may show
your mistake.

JUNEAU WELCOMES AMERICAN
 LEGION.

Juneau welcomes the convention of the American Legion whole-haartedly The City will belong to the representatives of those who went to the front at their countrys call and rlsked their lives when the Nation was in danger It is an honor to be the host for gathering of Iegonnaires
 It is the hope of all in this City that the dele eatss to the Legion convention may enjoy their stay here and that they may take to their homes a good impression Of the Capital City and pleasant recol- lections of their visit in it.
 The American Legion is a wonderful organiza- ten It is composed wholly of men who saw service in the World War and it is organized for the pur- pose of contributing further to their countrys vel fare It is a result of desire not only to care for American soldiers who might need their help but to render service in peace time as they renderd 1t in war Il is in no sense @ military organization II is not a political organization It is patriotic bodv of Americans who have had similar experiences and who have proved their worth who desire tc continue associaon in peace time and to cooperate in doing good as they co-operated during the war It deserves well at the hands of their countrymen
 Equally welcome are the wives, daughters, moth CTS and sisters of Lcgonnares who are here as members of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion Theirs is volunteer service to cooperate with the members of the Legion and their organi- zaticn in well doing-a Relief Corps. it was called in the Grand Army of the Republic organization one so powerful but now aged and tottering They have assumed worthwhile work and doing il well. May their numbers increase and their lines fall in pleasant places, and may they leave Juneau pleased because they were here.

"The United States of Europe"
(New York World.)

The United States of America need have no qualms about giving their blessing to M. Briand's project for the study of United States of Europe This is the kind of idea of which it may be said that prophecy is safe and certain to be successful It is like prophesying television and a regular transatlantic passenger air service. One must be- lieve in them without necessarily knowing how to achieve them The continent of Europe will some day have federal unity of some sort: the era of sharply separated national sovereignties which be- gan about four hundred years ago will last for ever; though nobody today knows how to make a United States of Europe, it will somehow and some time be made.
 It will take a long while and in the mean time there is no occasion for non-Europeans to conure up nightmares about Europe united against them. If the European nations had the political maturity and the political intelligence the habit of give and take, the breadth of sympathy and enough common consciousness to unite politically and economically they would have advanced so far beyond the exist ing standards of international morals that none of our present political theories would have any rele- vance. If the present Europe with its Commu- nists its Fascists, it's mperalists, it's nationalsts can unite, it might be threat to Asia or America But Europe comoSed of Communists Fascists lmperiallSts and natonalsts cannot unite. It could not concelvaby unite until it had purged itself of the very elements which in theory would make a united Europe dangerous.
 The long process which has to be gone through before any sort of effective federal union would be workable involves the defeat the tanning the rationalizng of the separatist and aggressive ele- ments of European society If and when that process competed-it is necessary to imagine it on the scale not of decades but of generations the whole face of the world would be changed Even the Senate of the United States might have different notions

BLIND MANS BUFF By Mary Graham Bonner

John and Peggy blindfolded them selves. This was playing the game differently from the way they usu- ally played it where only one per- son was blindfolded and tried to catch the others.
 But the little black clock had thought this would be good way to play it now.
 Of course his legs were very much shorter than either Peggy's CT Johns.
 But he dodged them again and again. It was really quite hard to catch him. To be sure, they were all in such wide open land that it was extremely difficult to catch i anything when blindfolded.
 But the little black clock did not go far away. He stayed near by. Sometimes he was very quiet and they thought he might have gone farther off But then they would hear him move little.
 He was excellent at lodging. Ex- cellent
 At last John got hold of him.
 i've got you" he shouted.
 And what do you think?
 When Peggy and John took their handkerchiefs from their eyes the whole scene was entirely differ ent.
 They were no longer on wide prairie. They were not far from a cave.
 And there was a man in front ot the cave, strange, wild looking man.
 "Oh, I'm glad you didn't catch me before I had turned to this time, the little black clock said
 John didn't say anything Nor did Peggy. They were watching the man. He was the strangest looking man they had ever seen in all their lives

Jobs for the Indians.
Olympia Olymplan.)

Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur seems to be official with good deal of com mon sense.
 When he took office he found of his major problems presented by the half million Indian wards of the Government. Most of them, living res ervations, suffer greatly from sickness. Infant death rates far higher among them than among whites; the tuberculosis rate is appalling, and doctors seemed unable to find solution.
 Secretary Wilbur, Investigating found that the Indians's great need was simply job. Most res ervation Indians idle. Being idle they never have enough money; hence they go hungry from birth to death and because of their chronic under nourshment easily susceptible to disease.
 So MT. Wilbur is going to remedy matters by providing jobs for them. They good work CTS, and the Southwest needs labor so badly it has imported 50OO00 Mexican workers in the last decade. MT Wilbur believes that by hitching the idle Indians to these jobs he will go far toward solving the Indian question"
 It is marvellous what common sense can do to "a supposedly knotty problem

FARM RELIEF DEPENDS UPON
 FARMER.

The success of the newly formed Federal Farm Board with it's $50OOO000o plan to raise farm keting to the level of big business depends entirely upon the cooperation of the individual farmer.
 Arthur R. Rule, General Manager of the Fed eratod Fruit and Vegetable Growers and leader Of the cooperative marketing movement, voices this opinion in the current issue of The Farm Journal of Philadelphia
 MT. Rule explains the several ways in which the new Marketing Act will aid the individual farmer. But, he points out the aid will be effective only in the degree that the 6000000 farm oserators are willing to work with the nationwide cooperative marketing organizations representing their respective commodities About 100000 farm operators now members of 1250O local and regional co-opera- a. tive bodies and these small eo-operatves must also De knit into single strong commodity groups if they to gain the full benefit of the act, the expert shows.
 The chief weakness of many local co-operatives to date is that they have not carried cooperation far enough; while cooperating locally they have been competing with hundreds of other small CO., operatives in selling to regional and national mar Aets. the Farm Journal article points out Hence the Farm Board plan offers the following benefits to the farmer who supports it:
 First-A strong national organization of eacl commodity group, ably represented at the chief mar ket terminals to maintain paying price levels anc eliminate profitiess competition among individual and small co-operatives.
 Second-A stabizaton corporation set up b! each commodity group with funds provided by tn, Government, which will buy and hold surplus wheat cotton, corn and other products and so prevent thu deflation of prices in bumper seasons which ha harried the farmer in the past
 Third-A properly organized marketing systen which will be able to give the farmer cash-dowi payment of 85 per cent, against the 50 or 60 pc cent he has obtained from his smaller weaker co operative in the past.
 Fourth--Warehouses packing and cold storag plante, built with funds loaned by the Governmen at q standard interest charge of per cent wherea in the past co-operatives have had to pay the muc higher commercial rate, and the individual has beel forced to leave a big slice of his profit with tn commercial warehouse or cold storage when he wa forced to it's facilities.
