husband, Marshall Neilan, had
separated.
Miss Sweet emphatically stated
she had faith in her husband S as
sertion that he will be able to prove
himself innocent of charges made in
a divorce action recently filed by
Jim Tully, author.
In his answer to a complaint en-
tered by Mrs. Margaret Tully, the
former hobo accused her of infidel-
ity with Neilan. Rumor of separa

Sweet and Neilan followed.
Mr.. Neilan proved to my salts
faction that the charges made by
Mr.. Tully were untrue" she said
today. q am certain Mr.. Neilan
can show himself innocent and we
have not separated nor do we intend

Blue Fox Industry.
(WrangelI Sentinel.l

few years ago, much interest was aroused all along the coast of the Alexander Archipelago, the possibilities of fox farming on the islands. In Southeastern Alaska the islands at time were practically all under lease to fox farmers.
 As time went on many failures reported and there gradually grew up feeling that the fox business was precarous and could be listed a good legitimate business This was an- other instance where much attention was paid to the failures and little attention to the successes.
 The fox farmers who kept plugging away learn ing the fox business by experience making some money and laying the foundation for making more, are deserving of the highest commendaton for they worked with scant encouragement from any source.
 The geographical location of the Wrangell dis trct is ideal for producing the highest grade of blue fox fur The more rigorous climate in the Interior and to the Westward produces a coarse fur in great contrast to the beautiful silky fur of this district.
 The fox business is industry which does not deplete the natural resources of the country In- stead the fox farmers produce what is marketed and the proceeds returning to the district are a clean gain to the district
 The successful fox farmers instead of trying to restrict the business eager for it's expansion. More farmers, and more production they say, would produce enough fur to make the blue fox widely known and therefore, widely demanded. It is not well known they claim, because the supply is too | limited Nevertheless the average price for peltS of this district last year $99 few years ago. the average for winter was $40 but farm CTS claim they make money $40 pets.
 That the farmers are not receiving more atten- ton from the Federal and Territorial authorities | is largely due to the fact that the farmers find it difficult to organize they should on account of the distance and transportation facilities. And not being able to "hoer" effectively their problems do not receive the consideration they deserve

DOUBT WAS NOT REAL.

There was never any real doubt about Wna' would be the outcome of the Republican New YorK primary election New York Republicans are Just as wet as New York Democrats and they are Just as strongly in favor of leaving Prohibition enforce ment solely to the Federal Government. canon Chase. the Anti-Saloon League and some others made so much noise that Of the papers seemed to take the drys seriously for few days before the primary election but the fear was quickly allayed when .ha ballots began falling into the boxes. The Republican organization still fairly well represents Republican sentiment in the metropolis, and its candidates were overwhelmingly nominated
 So it matters little far as the wet and dry question is concerned, which party carries New Yorks municipal election. New York City will not employ the 5000 additional policemen or expend the S150O00O0 a year that Commissioner Whaen said would be necessary if the big town should join the Federal Government in Prohibition enforcement. Prohibition Administrator Campbell and his assist ants will have to worry along with their jobs without local help. Most of the 3200o speakeasies will probably continue to operate without serious misgvings.

MALLARDs MATCHED ON BARN ROOF

Mallard ducks ordinarily make their nests on or near the ground but the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has re- port of mallard nesting in a box on the roof of a barn in Nebraska. When the young were ready to venture beyond the nest, the mother duck quacked softly to them out Of the nest Then she flew to the ground and the youngsters came tumbIng and dropping after her ranchman who observed the incident reported that the fall did not seem to injure the young ducks
 Incidentally this mallard duck was banded when she first nested in this box and has returned for two successive seasons. The young of the first two broods were also banded, and reports of captures have come from widely separated areas of the West and South indicating that the young birds do not remain with their brothers and sisters long after leaving the mother bird

Tn primary after primary and election after elec- ton the Keystone electors have voted their con fdence in the leader at whom the rest of the country insists in pointing the finger of scorn
 This constant endorsement of MT Ware by the voters of his town indicate that there must be more merit in him than people who do not live in Philadelphia suppose. One who is all bad does not usually carry his home town with the regularity that those of the Quaker City gives majorities to their leader One might fool the majority in wide flung area but it is more difficult to fool ones neighbors.

THE MAGIC By Mary Graham Bonner

T was sitting, or maybe you'd say standing" began the little black clock, lon the desk in the back hall just where I had been all my life.
 The afternoon had been a glori- ous one. It had rained."
 At first Peggy and John began to laugh. Then they remembered some of the wonderful things that had happened on rainy days games in the top part of the gar age, for instance.
 The children-it was long before your time-were playing blind mans buff and they played right in the back hall, jumping over the lower part of the banister to keep from being caught I had such fun watching them that I couldn't bear to go ahead with the time.
 Ut was then I made my wish And it was then the choice was given to me.
 Tt didn't take me long to decide I will be willing, I said, to stand quite still at o'clock all my life, if I may have the power to turn backwards or forwards to any other time I choose
 Then the magic was put into my works. So you see I can take you back to any time you wish for we're going to be friends and have adventures.
 "Oh, yes" both children agreed, as they sat beside the clock on the wide prairie.
 "The one who brought the magic was a grandfather clock. He was very, very old, and he was kept and loved even if he couldn't tell the time. Something the way It is with me.
 "You see, his great grandfather and my great, great grandfather had been friends in their child hood. They had been made in the same shop, and he wanted to do something for the great, great grandson of his old friend"
 Wasn't that fine of him?" John exclaimed.
 50 you see how it happened, the clock nodded. But listen! Let's play blind mans buff right now and I'll turn round and round And when you catch me I'll stop at just that time"

 Nothing good be said of rats. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that on the average every rat in the United States does damage amounting to fully g a year. and that there at least many rats human beings in this country, altogether too many rats levyng wastefuness requires vigorous measures for their control
 In addition to the physical damage rats do by destroying food and property the Bureau of Bio logical Survey points out that they serious menace to the health of the Nation Rats are known to spread trchinosis and to carry bubonic plague and other diseases. either directly or by means of the neas that live them.
 It is not easy to kill rats They avoid their natural enemies and they are careful and cautions If their suspicious have been aroused they refuse to eat many tempting bits of food containing rat poison. Poisons set for rats sometimes have killed other animals children. Phosphorus is a menace at is may set fire to buildings field grasses other animals Thallium is particularly dangerous and it is costly, as the supply is limited.
 Red-squiu powder, in the opinion of the Biological Survey is if properly prepared of the most sat isfactory rat poisons now known. Cats, dogs, and other animals usually refuse to eat the material because it causes a tngling and irritation of the throat It is full of small crystals of calcium oxaIate Rats pay no attention to this feature
