modious area to handle the busi- ness
 So regardless of the early proposi tions every realtor and property owner in town will have q chance to submit q bid to the government. The site must be centrally located, how ever, and of sufficient dimensions to afford ample room for the faci!- ities of the office" The old state armory has appealed favOrably to some, but to others there may be q more convenient place.
 If the government should start ac- tivitics before July 1st, the present telephone company building will be out of consideration. but it has been mentioned as possibility.
 At present the local postal off. cials have not been fully advised as to when actual work will be started to give Waterbury much needed new office building. It may be Il matter Of few weeks, possibly months, but far-s sighted persons are making their suggestions as to suit able quarters for temporary place.

 The novice at bridge with North's
 holding, would probably open the

 make four spades. The general rule
 is to open partners suit in prefer ence to a singleton unless you hold
 the equal of four trump to the jack. | If North makes the correct open 1 ing-the nine of hearts - dummy

 the eight spot and the declarer
 would win with the ace. The declar- | CT WOulu tdke louT iouAA"' oA ', "..F F' then play his king and queen of dia-
 ronds, hoping for diamond split.
 He would then have to play small diamond, winning in the dummy with the ace, and now South IS as-
 sured of two club tricks and two
 heart tricks and would defeat the 1 contract one trick.
 | If the singleton eight of diamonds lad been opened, the declarer would | rlav the ten from dummy. South would cover with the jack and de- clarer win with the king. Declarer would take four rounds of trump which would force South to make discard of the six of clubs and the eight of hearts. The declarer would lead the queen of diamonds and then the deuce, winning in the dummy with the ace. A small club would next be led from dummy which south would be forced to win with | the king. ,, South would play his good dia- mond which declarer would trump. | Declarer would then lead another club putting South in the lead. Now. 1t South plays the king of hearts. | the declarer will refuse to win It., playing the deuce. Then when South leads the queen of hearts, declarer will take 1t with the ace and win
 the last heart trick in the dummy wiht the jack. Declarer would lose
 only two clubs and one heart which
 would give him four odd and game. | Copyright 1880, NEA Service. lnc)

SHEEP LEAVE USUAL HABITAT BECAUSE 0F
 GREAT LACK FODDER

Because of the deep SnowS, heav- fly encrusted, along the reaches of Fox river at the head of Katche- nlak bay, mountain sheep have been deprived of their usual chances to forage, and as a result have Suf- fered somewhat during the winter from lack of fodder. This, and with anplification, is the story brought to Seldovia by Tony Martin, who has just return ed from season of trapping in that district, reports the Seldovia Herald.
 The sheep have been driven down into the timber and out on the flats, but there the fare is not much better. Fox canyon, usual habitat of the sheep was totally deserted, though I have known the time when hundreds could be found
 there.
 Moose, a harder breed, equipped to browse off the higher branches of the trees. are better off. But even so I ran across three huge carcaSses; dead from starvation. Dead sheep were more frequently found.

Since February regularly fed a herd of eight sheep by cutting down birch trees. They strayed about the cabin, followed my trails. This particular bunch was reduced to seven by one of the animals get ting killed, falling helplessly on the ice.
 ITO add to their distress, the sheep are harassed by coyotes. These killers are getting more numerous. I also saw signs of wolves. The coy otes are much larger than the or dinary outside prairie specimen"
 Mir. Martin, who is registered guide, is deeply stirred by the con- dition of the game and has sug- gestions to offer that would help them through a fodderless season. His opinion is that if less attention were paid to vigilance over off-sea- son hunting and more to cutting wild hay and stacking it about in sheds, 8 better purpose would be served, and the situation would be relieved.
 The hay cutting idea, MT. Martin explained, Is entirely practical and is the regular business in outside districts

 The combatants were Bert McCaf- ferty of Providence, 8 veteran of 23 years of professional hockey, and Yip Radley of New Haven, a rookie Canadian just up from the amateurs. Radley collided with McCafferty while trying to split the Reds de- fense and McCafferty cracked him over the head with his hockey. Rad ley-who, incidentally weighs over 200 and is a professional strong man summers-replied in kind and then yanked off his gloves for more ef- ficient action.
 Six players and Referee Stewart grabbed the New Haven defense man but he tossed them aside with a heave of his shoulders and jur' ped for McCafferty with fists failing. Radley lunged nightly. missed Mc- Cafferty and struck the Ice with his skull.
