 The Home puts on quite an elaborate spread on Christmas s and with the Pioneers having everything to eat from soup to nuts, with plenty of smokes and extra money in their pockets, there was quite an air of prosper ity around the old Home around Christmas time.
 MT. Gross, of the Alaska Film Exchange, deserves a great deal of credit for raising a lot of money for the boys, without any profit to him whatever, as he does not charge the Pioneers of the Home anything for going to his picture show, here.

 Minister McNider, one of the most colorful figures in the Amer ican diplomatic service will be back in his old stamping ground with the legion. for since the close or the war he has been actively identified with the organization, As a result of a brilliant war record and performance after the war he was successively post commander, state commander of Iowa and then national commander of the Amer ican Legion.
 His outstanding qualities brought him a place in the cabinet of Pres ldent Coolidge as assistant secre- tary Of war, and President Hoover selected him to preside over the newly established legation at Ot- tawa.
 In addition to McNider, the com nlttee has announced that Mrs Edith Nourse Rogers, congress- woman from Massac husetts, will be guest Saturday morning Mrs Rogers is highly regarded by the veterans of this state for the heIp she rendered the American Legion Tn securing the new veterans' hos pltal at Newington.

by out of town people. He also asked when the revaluation figures are to be put into effect.
 MT Kennedy stated that he con- scented to run because he refused to see the office of mayor or any other office handed out by the town chairman. He added that his sup porting ticket will be picked by the people and not by any one clique.
 Commissioner Butler charged the administration with playing politics in the matter of the Fair lawn Manor school site. He said that the site picked was his first choice and was finally decided upon despite opposition on the school board. He also pointed out that the school department has now come around to his view that the school building in Fairlawn Manor can be built regardless of restrictions as to building lines.
 Attorney Spellman praised MT Kennedy and criticised the Hayes forces for sending out a call to re- publicans to have themselves reg istered on the democratic primary list in order to help the administra- tion in the primary fight. MT Testa spoke of MT Kennedy's qualifica- tions in the Italian tongue while MT Ryan. Mir Burns and Mir Connolly lauded the Kennedy campaign and urged everybody to get out and work in behalf of the forces op- posing Mayor Hayes.

Tokio, Japan, Aug 1S-UP)- Treacherous weather to-day held Colonel and Mrs Charles A. Lind bergh grounded within 1,500 miles of the goal of their 1000 mile from Washington to Tokio.
 Between them and their destin- seas, lashed by sudden winds, and volcano islands that would offer poor refuge in case of mishap.
 The flyers hoped to take off to- morrow from Petropavlovsk for Nemuro. Veteran aviators doubt ed the weather would clear that soon.
 Fishermen familiar with the Kamchatka peninsula region and the Kuriles said the couple might be held at Petropavlovsk indefi- nitely.
 The distance from Petropavlovsk to Nemuro Is 900 miles and from Nemuro to Tokio 500 miles.
 Poor visibility in the region is the rule than the exception.
 Residents of Nemuro went ahead however, with plans to welcome the couple within a day or two.
 San Francisco. Aug 18-UP)- Reports received by the navy radio station here from the St Paul Alaska. station indicated that Colonel and Mrs Charles A. Lind bergh were preparing to fly to-day from Petropavalovsk, Siberia. to Japan.

MOVE OUT OR GO TO JAIL, COURTS EDICT
STATE TROOPERS CLOSING EVERY
 WELL IN TEXAS
Under Orders of Governor Sterling the l,6OO Oil Wells in That State Will Be Shut

Longview, Tex, Aug 1S-(UP)- State troopers began to-day their tedious task of checking every well in the four counties in which Gov ernor Ross Sterling invoked mar tial law. The East Texas field in- cludes 1900 wells.
 Divided into small groups, the men 1900 rode from derrick to derrick, making sure that valves were closed. Brigadier General Jacob F. Volters, commandant, or deree that any producer violating the c,vsing order be arrested.
 Through silent fields where thou sands of dollars worth of machin- cry stood silent, troopers rode. Meanwhile, nearly 10000 oil field workers, thrown out of employ ment by the shutdown, loitered on the locations, or roamed the streets of boom towns in the field which last week set an all time record for oil production with an average daily yield of 738,000 barrels.
 The troops encountered no re- sistance. A few workers were bit- ter against Governor Sterling, but in most cases operators informed the governor they would keep the men on their payrolls during the shutdown. It was not expected the martial law order would be in force more than two weeks.
 No effect on crude prices was noted, but belief was general that a drastic upward revision would be made within a few days when a shortage develops.

City Store
 Not Popular

The officials at Hartford are pre- pairing to take care of its needs citizens during the coming win ter. The matter is in the hands of a committe of three of which Mayor Patterson is a member There is much difference of opin'"n as to the wisdom of the <. e which 1t is proposed to open al ut September l, some taking the ground that 1t is not good policy for municipality to engage in the sale of foodstuffs. while other claim tons anything that can be done to make money go as far as possible should be encouraged.
 At one time 1t looked as though the store plan might be abandon ed, but inasmuch as the council has made an appropriation for that purpose it is likely to have a trial. Anyway, Hartford is looking ahead and intends to look out for tits own people" during the dull pe- riod.

Beer lovers might as well go back
to the cellar and work over their
crooks, for the latest hopes of those
who have been predicting that
somehow President Hoover would
restore the foaming beverage to
legal status apparently have been
dashed
A White House official, asked
what the chances for legaliZing
beer were, replied:
You know and I know they are
pretty thin"
The White House has made pub
lie census statistics which answer
assertions of beer advocates that
restoration Of brewing would give
employment to a million or more
men and stimulate industry. These
figures show that at the peak OF
the brewing industry in 1914, just
before prohibition began to gain
ground, total of $4,000 men were
employed This fell to $4,000 in
1919 just before federal prohibition
became effective. Payrolls were
$80,0O0,000 in 1914 and $68,000,000
in 1919.
