Good fellowship Try was aroused at the traps of the Juneau Gun Club yesterday when Guy Me Naughton, after being among the lower high guns for several weeks past, came up from the rear and copped high gun honors and also set a pace for breaking the clay pigeons that not few of the regu- lar high guns found easy to match. McNaughton broke 24 of the pos sible 25.

 HAS FIVE NEW
 CARS; TWO SOLD

Five new cars for the Connors Motor Company arrived on the steamer Admiral Watson from the Seattle distributors. Two Chevro- let sedans, a Chevrolet coupe, a Chevrolet sedan delivery and a Buick powered model G. M. c. truck, were the cars to arrive and are now on display at the Connors showrooms.
 The Chevrolet sedan delivery has been purchased by the Capital Laundry and the larger truck by the Peerless Bakery.
 The small delivery is of the all- steel body type and is extremely trim, having more the appearance of a pleasure car than one for haul ing. The interior is lined with polished veneer. The body trim is in black and tan. The chassis is the regular six clyinder 1929 model
 The G. M. c. truck is the three quarter ton capacity with the big Buick motor for the power plant. The car arrived with the Peerless Bakery sign already done on the body.
 Two more Chevrolets are to arrive on the steamer Rogers.

SPARKMAN, Ark, March 25.- The Sparkman high school girls basketball team, with two-year record of 29 victories in as many starts, with scoring of 1854 points to 319 for opponents, is well on it's way toward what is believed to be a worlds record for team scoring.
 The team boasts an individual scorer of unusual merit in Quinnie Hamm, who also holds what is claimed to be a record for points made in a single contest. When the Sparkman "Sparklers' defeat ed Malvern, Ark, high school girls, Miss Hamm made 109 points. The score was 164 to g. A week earlier the team defeated Tomberlin, Ark, high school, 125 to and Miss Hamm made 102 points.

SEVEN-RUN RALLY
 WINS FOR SEATTLE

LOS ANGELES, April IA sev- en-run rally in the ninth inning last Saturday, featured by home run by Manager Ernie Johnson, gave Seattle 12 to victory over Los Angeles. Thirty-five players were paraded on the field during the game. The Angels had appar- ently sewed up the game in the eighth inning when Earl Wess roll ed homer to the left field bleach CTS, scoring two ahead of him but the deluge of Tribe runs in the following inning evened matters and then put the Indian ahead. Four Seattle batters were walked in the last inning by Walsh and Peters.

colored glasses. If these two stars were in uniform and in good con- dition, they probably would be talking about pennant chances, like all other normal American baseball bugs.
 Vance is a holdout. That is noth- ing new with Dazzy, which pre- cisely what hurts the Brooklyn GUS toners. Something or another is always giving Daz9y late start. Last year he lost good month de- laying his winning squirt just long enough to throw a pretty good ball team off balance for the season.
 This year Dazzy wants $25,00C salary. The club offered him $20,- 900 and then boosted the figure to S22.500 There the matter stands. Dazzy doubtless will pitch for Brooklyn this year, but every day lost now may mean the loss of valuable ball games later on.
 The Brooklyn fans thought they were pretty sad with Dazzy's hold out performance. They didn't real iza how much sadder they could become until Glenn Wright de- veioped a useless throwing arm. The Dodgers parted with Jess Petty, Brooklyn favorite in the deal fo' Wright, who was expected to be the key man in new infield which Manager Wilbert Robinson had as- sembled.
 All of these breaks have been particularly bad for "Robby," who has had difficulties with some di- rectors of the club not satisfied with his methods as manager and president.
 There's so much gloom about this Brooklyn baseball project that it's going to take the development of couple of rockies into super-stars or something equally as pleasing to drive away the sorrow.

 OVER PIONEER SHOP

The business week started today with the lease of one house open ing its doors under new manage ment. The Pioneer Barber Shor and baths changed hands over the week end from Oscar Waterude to w. A. Sherman. It is understood that the transaction was in the na- ture of lease of the property which belongs to Emery Valentine, and the purchasing of the shop equipment by MT. Sherman from MT. Waterude.
 MT. Sherman has been connected with the Pioneer for nearly two years and Mir. Waterude has oper- ated the place for about three years.
 MT. Waterude is m making the change in order to be more in the outdoors after his long period of indoor work His plans are not known for the future at this time, but it was made known that he has several propositions under con- sideration.
 MT. Sherman, speaking of his &C., quisition of the business today stat ed that the place would be operat- ed under the same general plans as made the business successful un- der MT.

 In the opener the Angels pound- I'd Jim Edwards to the showers by nine-run attack in three in nings and continued run getting despite the work of Pipgras, Lam ansky and Ault who followed him on the mound. Lamansky was re- sired on line drive and Sand berg broke a finger or his pitch ing hand. Augie Walsh was a puzzle to the Indians who is cred ted with the first shut-out game of the season.
 In the second game Carl Holling bested Kyle Graham in a pitching iuel. The latter held the Angels to six h'ts Three Indian errors aided the Angels.

The Restricted Farm Board

President Hoover has hit upon a wise method for
selecting the federal farm board, which is the
administrations contribution to solution of agri
cultural depression
Instead of picking academic experts or farm poll
ticians or both the President choosing officials
Of farmers associations
At any rate such the first three
nounced by the White House: James C. Stone. pres-
dent of the Burley Tobacco Growers Association; C.
B. Denman, president Of the National Live Stock
Producers Association and Carl Williams, chair
man of the National Council of Farmers Coopera-
tive Marketing Association.
This is democratic method of selection, in addi-
ton to being politically expedient.
1t is democratic because these already had
been elected by the farmers themselves most rep
resentative and presumably most able to conduct the
business of their respective organizations.
It is politically expedent because if the farm board
fails to bring in the millennium which some expect,
the farmers can hardly blame the President for the
failure of their own officials
That the farm board, which is to administer the
$500 100000 federal revolving fund through
operatives and sterilization corporations has OPP
portunty to eliminate of the credit and market
ing problems in that chaotic industry few will doubt
But that such machinery get at the root evils is
doubted by many competent to judge.

Political Pardons

When the chairman Of the political party
in power becomes interested in the liberty Of
Chicago gunman, holdup and thug, his value
to his party should be drawing to close.
There are generally other reasons than the
warm glow Of charity and human brotherhood
that exctes activity on the part of politicians
in behalf of visiting gunner.
The pardoning power has, very often, been
a very fertile field of operations for politicians,
especially if susceptible governor could be
persuaded to give clemency in a wholesale
manner
Last night at meeting Of the pardon
board, the members denounced the high
pressure" methods used to obtain freedom
for man who is serving a sentence for the
robbery of a local department store. The
crime was desperate
Ever since his sentence, powerful person
ges have enlisted themselves in, his behalf.
High priced and very respectable law firms
have been busy Especially active have been
law firms with politicians as members.
It was openly stated that one of the lawyers
now interested and presumably using the
high pressure" methods is the present state
chairman of the Republican party.
Whenever a convict seeking pardon hires
other than the lawyer who defended him, there
is a reason. And the reason for hiring lawyers
prominent in politics is presumably their grip
on officials, rather than their knowledge of
law or ability as pleaders.
It viii be remembered that previous state
chairman, no longer at liberty, interested him
self in pardons and was quite successful in
selling stock to relatives Of those whom he set
free.
When chairmen of parties are lawyers, it IS
perfectly ethical TO take fees.
As long as the pardon board of the Gov
ernor refuse to listen to please for political
pardons, there is no danger. Especially is there
little danger when the board members openly
point to the political character of the pleaders
for clemency
1t might be very good thing if it became
generally known that any convict who hires
lawyer to plead his case would be very closely
scrutinized.
Theoretically, no convict needs lawyer If
he is worthy, the board should know. If I'M
worthy, it has the facts.
Other states have had grave scandals over
the pardoning power This state has had too
many other scandals to afford one from that
cause.

WHEN one considers humanity
w in the mass there is prob
ably no question that the telephone
is a beneficent invention. Our fore
fathers could not call up the deli
catessen store to say, please send
half dozen ginger ales and a cake
of ice"
Only 100 years ago the man or
woman who made an engagement
had to keep it, since it was impos-
sibIe to telephone at the last min
ute hoarsely, I'm so sorry, but the
doctor thinks it looks like tonsl-
litis."
Vital things like courtship and
marriage have been aided and
abetted by the phone. The whole
theory that long engagements are
necessarily bad was only true in the
DAYS before wires were laid. When
a man had to go and see his girl
every night it was inevitable that
they should grow sick to death OF
each other. But surely it is no
trouble at all to jiggle hook and
remark tenderly, How are you
baby?" and with this slight service
the average swain manages to re-
tain the franchise.

Excuses

0NE of the reasons why 7 fail to

amount of time I give over to de-
batting with people as to whether or
not I'm out and when I will be in.
Naturally there is no intention to
suggest that the world is beating a
pathway to this door as If it housed
a mouSetrap-maker. Three or four
calls in an afternoon are plenty to
fragile the nerves of a sensitive
soul who has work to do and is
three hours late in getting at it.
Bootleggers, bond statesmen and
charity workers are all telephone

Senate Investigations
cause

Senate Investigations cost more or less money and
the senate should consider the cost before undertaking
them
This, notwithstanding the fact that the total cost
of all such Investigations in recent years really Is in
significant compared to the money they have saved
or regained for the government.
Complaints that the senate has become an investi-
eating body instead of a legislature should be dis
regarded Intelligent legislation requires investigation
Those who would head off any investigation OF the
textile industry say the inquiry should be referred to
the federal trade commission because the senate is not
equipped to make the kind of study that is necessary
BY equipment IS meant paid agents, accountants
and other experts.
Congress is in danger of transferring too much OF
its authority to executive bureaus and commissions
one thing it must keep is its investigating power.
