millet and corn acreages.
Although some of the United Com
munist Farmers League are attempt
ing to make light of the relief OBJ
ia. ned through these splendid rains,
we will cite the example of the Co.
mertown territory, where farmers had
obtained money for hay and feed
grains through Federal loans, and
had given orders for the purchase Of
$50 tons of hay, and this order has
now been reduced to 20h tons, with
indications that the entire amount will
be cancelled.
The same condition applies through
out the county generally. The corn
and millet fields are practically jump
ing in their growth these days, and
with another good soaker will make
these feed crops larger than usual.
The ranges are also being greatly
helped and will make it possible for
some grazing.
Apply for Reduced Rates
Those who will have to purchase
feed grains for their stock need not
come to Plentywood to obtain the
benefits of the reduced freight rates,
as county agent Ferguson has sup
piled the reduced rate application
blanks, already approved by him SO
that the purchaser will get the bene-
fit of the two-thirds freight rate.

 ID TALK BEFORE
 P.-T.A, TUESDAY
Coiorful Adventurer Is on Program of Excep-
 tional Interest

A. Malcolm Smith, known to his familiars and to the public gen. erally as Sandy" one Of the most colorful characters in the annals of Alaska, will give an illustrated address next Tuesday evening in grade school auditorium before the Juneau Parent Teacher Associa- tion His subject will be "Glimpsas of the North" He has had many Of them in the course of more than 40 years. The program of the association will be it's second in the series of Know Alaska Better"
 As explorer and prospector, MT Smith has traversed the Territory from Ketchikan to Point Bar TOW. He was in charge of ground forces in the Detroit Aviation So- ciety trip over the North Pole He has mined in Siberia, North China and the Canadian Arctic.
 Pictured in Movies
 He has enacted parts of his ad- venturous career for the cinema screen. He is famed as a figure in the literature of fact and fic- ton.
 MT. Smith had parts in four motion pictures, 'Nomads Of the North" with Betty Blythe and Lewis Stone; ''Uncharted Seas, with Rudolph Valentino, Big Game" with Mae Allison and For rest Stanley, and Golden Snare, ' with Ruth Rennick, Lewis Stone and Wallace Beery.
 He and his career have furnished material for three novels and for

Chapter IT WEIGHING THE CASE

Richmond was silent for a few minutes, but when he spoke 1t was with his old vigor.
 T am prepared to accept the guilt of anyone, man or woman, within the bounds of the evidence. !"
 Jimmie nodded and the superin- tendent continued.
 Take the two girls. Evelyn and Duckworth called on you two months ago about the letters. On the night Miss Querdling was killed they were indoors singing, as witnesses have said. While they will benefit through her death, their story is consistent.
 Evelyn seems truthful while Marjorie has never explained her movements in the garden, saying that after talking to the doctor she had waited alone in the moon- light. It brings me back to my former suspicion, for until I heard of Vincent Blake and the will I had the doctor foremost in mind He probably knew of the will-he may even have been a witness to it."
 You realize that your case against him rests entirely on the supposition that he wants to mar " Marjorie?"
 Certainly I realize that Now let me give you my case against Netherton I have not yet been to Miss Querdling's bank, but I went to his. He is hard up. There is a big overdraft. Not his fault It was his fathers debt. Young Meth erton is paying his way and Fe- ducing the debt, but not so quickly as they would wish. So you see the need for a rich marriage?"
 Jimmie nodded. After what Audrey Winford had told him, the news came as no surprise.

man, but I'll have another go at it." ,e st
 Richmond's perplexity was under Istandable, but Jimmie tried next morning to dismiss the case from his mind as he joined the Wadas at breakfast
 He was glad when Audrey tele- phoned him and suggested golf. "I'd love it," he told her. ''Yvu mean another foursome?"
 No. I want to play-w;th you" The little pause told him she was thinking not only of the game, but that she wanted an opportunity for quiet talk. There was a sort of suppressed eagerness in her voice something important back of it, Jimmie reflected. What could 1t be?

innumerab.e articles and short stories. Some of the pictures used to illustrate incidents about him and his experiences were talk en by him 40 years ago in the Arctic.
 Interesting Lecturer
 He is not without reputation as an interesting lecturer. He has talked before numerous organiza- tions, the most recent being the Douglas and the Juneau high schools. A lecture that he gave before 700 members of the Campfire Club of America was highly ap- preciated. Afterwards, he re- ceived a letter from w. M Beach, president of the organization, say ing:
 We all appreciated your lecture on Alaska Your slides showed things that were not known by us to exist in the North. You held the crowd spellbound We have to thank Gov. Scott Bone for putting us in touch with real pioneer"
 In it's entirety, the program at the Parent Teacher meeting next Monday evening, will be of unusual interest.

and Marjorie were sweethearts as youngsters. before he went to Lon don for his training. He met her quite lot, especially lately. I had the witnesses ready to call but he admitted it. Undoubtedly she waited about for him.
 For her to love him is not quite the same as for him to love her
 Perhaps not, but the old lady took them for lovers and warned them there would be nothing to ex- pect from her. He admits he fingered with the girl, then he says he went for long walk to see Stirling? He had not been to see him before, nor has he been since.
 If Netherton killed the lady in the garden he would get out as quickly as he could. An alibi would be impossible, for every one knew he had been there. So he went for his walk, and, seeing Stirling, men toned him to account for his movements.
 Jimmie did not answer. Taking his silence for assent, Richmond proceeded to summarize his charge, marking each point with a tap of his finger on the table
 First, it can't be disputed that he was hard up and wanted a rich wife-and quickly. He spent much time with Marjorie and the aunt, taking them for lovers, gave warning. There is no proof that anyone except Marjorie was in the garden with him when the aunt was killed. He had seen where the old lady was sitting just under the stone figure, and he can not explain why he fingered with the the girl instead of going home, nor his subsequent movements. He 'phoned Marjorie so that her story would agree with his. Also had there been others in the garden would not he or the girl have seen them?"
 It was a formidable indictment, but he had not finished.
 If the will has been stolen, he and the girls are perhaps more likely than any one else to have taken it. And if any one contin- ued those death threats to throw suspicion on the original writer who so likely as this doctor who knew about them from the first and who was playing for a big | stake?"
 As he concluded he looked with an air of triumph at Jimmie, who quickly saw that if he supported the theory put forward, Nethertons arrest would undoubtedly follow. Have you not overlooked the fact that Major Gresham was in the garden at the time of the crime?' Jimmie inquired.
 T have not overlooked it. We are satisfied with his explanation" "Still it weakens one of your points against Netherton And Gresham was to get 5000 under the will. What about that? Wa;

 He may have known of the will
 The lady herself may have told
 him. But he would know it was
 valueless until signed
 Exactly, MT Haswell. IoI
 can't be both sides of the hedge"
 Anyway, I must look at both sides" laughed Jimmic.
 You have said you are con- vinced the will was not signed; and that disposes of the 5000 and your case against Gresham
 T have no case against Gresham. I only pointed out that you seemed. to be forgetting him. Your points against Netherton all rest on the assumption that he loves or wants Ito marry Marjorie Blake. You can easily attach too much inn portance to what you call Miss Querdling's warning. Undoubtedly her mind was obsessed with the desire to prevent her nieces mar trying.
 Tt does not prove that the wish |or intention existed. If Netherton |can show that he really loves some lone else, or if Marjorie can show that she does, your case comes un- stuck"
 Richmond declared that thorough inquiries in the village had failed ito disclose any such love affairs
 They both may be fancy free"
 said Jimmie, but should there be any other attachments, the bot tom drops out of your case. Meth erton's sole motive for killing Miss .Querdling would be to get Mar |jorie and the money If he does not want her, or she does not
 want him, the motive disappears.
 While Netherton's financial posi- |tion might have caused him to seek rich wife. it might also deter him from seeking any wife lat all-or prevent his asking girl to marry him. AS to Marjorie, it is perfectly natural, in view of 'her aunt's attitude, that she should try to conceal love affair.""
 Richmond waved his hand with la gesture of impatience. What do you suggest?"
 Neither the doctor nor the girl will disappear" Jimmie answered. E"You can take them whenever you have mind to, Do not do it until you have practically cleared |every one else. Gresham you Iacquit. We have accounted for Mrs. Frater. We have accounted for Vincent Blake. His story has yet to be verified. But an empty car was seen against the fence, inside the links. Whose was it? Where was the owner? Until you can answer those questions you will not have la complete case against any one" Superintendent Ri h m n d was silent
 You sec" Jimmie went on,y our clear thinking has worked in a Icircle and come back to the point lat which we started. Solve the mystery of that car and everything Ielse may fall into its right place" Perhaps you are right. Mir Has well. I believe Netherton is the

Capone's Fall Spurs Attack
on Public Enemies in

NEW YORK, June 19.-An exc
dus Of many beer runners, racke-
teers and gamblers was expected
today as a result Of a government
and city drive to rid New York Of
its public enemies" and which al
ready has put Dutch" Schultz, no

Drive Is Third Menace
With the income tax authorities
and New York police both opening

hol racketeers were threatened from
a third source today with the an
nouncement that the federal pro-
hibition department had ordered a
concentrated drive on illicit stills,
breweries and their distributing sys-

Schultz was taken into custody
when he was found covering in an
areaway after his lieutenant, Daniel

eteer, had been wounded fatally by
members Of the police undercover
squad. He died later in hospital
Schultz was held on two charges
of violation of the Sullivan anti

in concert in resisting arrest.
Repentance No Defense
News that the men who fastened
the charges on Capone were operat-
