Harrison was the father of 10, Hayes was the father of eight, Jeff erson, Taylor and Roosevelt were the fathers of six each
 Two widows of presidents remar- ried. Mrs. Cleveland married T. J. Preston, Jr., a professor of archeo- logy. in 1913, about five years after her husbands death Mrs. Benja- min Harrison married James Blaine Walker, Jr, her third husband, in 1921, when she was GA years of age.
 The most unusual circumstance connected with the martial relations of any president concerned Andrew Jackson. Believing that Mrs. Lewis Robards had been divorced from her husband, he married her in 1791, only to discover that the de- cree of divorce had not yet been granted. Later the decree was issued and Jackson remarried Mrs. Robards in 1794.

GOVT MAY START REINDEER
 STATION AT HOOPER BAY

Eskimo residents of the sectioL lying between the Yukon and Kus- kokwim rivers, described as being among the most primitive people in the world, will have their ma terial condition greatly improved if the federal government pro- ceeds with the contemplated sstab- lishment of a reindeer station there.
 B. B. Mozee, in charge of the reindeer work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is having an investi- gation made to determine the prac- ticability of a reindeer drive from Mountain Village to Hooper Bay.
 Although they are used to famine the natives of that desolate region were harder hit than usual last winter by a tidal wave which de- stroyed their homes, belongings and food. The reindeer are badly needed. A herd at Hooper Bay would mean that there would be always meat to draw upon in times of need.

WAR DEBTS

War debt payments amounting to SPA, 641, ,698 are due December 15. England's share is s95,550, 0,00O- and France $19,261,438 with small sums from other countries completing the total. It is not a staggering figure, but France and England claim to be unable to pay. The world wants to go into a war debt huddle and emerge with a permanent settle ment.
 Most Congressional leaders are shouting make em pay" This is al- ways good for a newspaper headline. Europe insists that it cant pay, and an adjustment must be made. By ad- justment she means cancellation. The United States will do well to put it's best minds together and plan for the inevitable adjustment and plan wisely. The money is due us and we should dictate terms. Terms that say for every concession made there must be a reduction in arma- ments.
 Great Britain insists that her $95, ,55O,000 portion of this debt is beyond her ability to pay, yet she could afford to spend more than $465, 5,000,O00 on an army and navy last year. France digs down into her sock and fails to find $1S,261,- 43S, but she found more than $466,- 900 900 for hungry army and navy last year. Poor Italy is dazed with the sum of $1, ,245, 1000 due the Unit ed States next month, but joyfully spent $248,O00,O00 on her military and naval forces last year. The pie ture is far too lop-sided.
 Each day, as we pay the bill for the last insane slaughter, we req lize the futility, the utter waste of war. The increasing price is break ing the worlds back. European countries had depended upon Ger many to foot the bill, but Ger many is practically bankrupt. We all face the identical probiein, and we will be forced to revise the en- tire debt structure, but every re- vision must be made in the cause of peace!-Ex.

ANTIQUATED SYSTEM

Contrary to popular belief, Roose- welt and Garner were not elected president and vice-president Novem- Der 8. That important event will not occur until presidential electors in each state meet formally in their respective capitols next month and cast their ballots. Then a special messenger from each state carries the returns to Washington, where Congress will look them over and announce the result. It is an anti quated system, just like the lame- duck congressional session. The lat ter will probably be abolished soon: the next reform should be to pro- vide for election of president and vice-president by popular vote.

Some facts regarding the family of our presidents may be of interest, IS they are probably little known to the average reader. How many, for example, could tell off-hand how many presidents never married? The answer is, only one, Buchanan.
 All the rest were married, and five of them married twice, Tyler, Fillmore, Benjamin Harrison, Roose welt and Wilson. Seven married widows, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Fillmore, B. Har- rison and Wilson, the last three taking widows as their second wives.
 The wives of Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Arthur died before their husbands became president. Cleveland went into office as a bachelor, but was married during his first term.
 Washington, Madison, Jackson, Polk and Harding were childless. Tyler was the father of IA children, seven by each of his wives. W. H.

COOPERATION

In setting aside Church street and no other for coasting the Town Council was prompted by desire to provide recreation for children and at the same time safeguard them so far as possible from injury. Coasting down the side streets to Front street from Church steet is so dangerous that is is inevitable a tragedy will occur sooner or later if the practice is not stopped. The council and the marshal are alert to the situation but the children cannot be properly protected with out the cooperation of all parents.

Nicholas lsussbaumer writing to a Wrangell friend from Van ceuver Barracks on Nov. 19, 1917, said: 'T am stationed at Vancouver Barracks for awhile, will be trans ferred to Washington D. C., soon. I like this army life fine in time of war, when a man knows that he Is helping the country in a good cause. About 70 men from the 20th En- gineers (Forest) Regiment are here waiting to be transferred east and from there to France. We are surely getting a nice bunch of fellows; they are all anxious to go and are happy that they were fortunate enough to get chance to follow the stars and stripes across the At lantic to the battlefields. Two regi- ments of infantry, the 14th.. and 44th, left here yesterday and were given a grand send-off; all the fac tories were blowing whistles and church bells were ringing as the long string of sturdy, loyal Ameri- cans, headed by two bands, were marching to the depot to entrain for an uncertain destination. We all felt like climbing on and going with them"

COMMON PURPOSE

In congratulating Governor Roose- welt, President Hoover said: "In the common purpose of us all, I shall dedicate myself to every possible helpful effort" In replying Cover nor Roosevelt said: "I join in your gracious expression of common pur- pose in helpful efforts for our coun- try" There is here no gloating by the victors and no sulking by the In these expressions the two leaders typify the spirit of the rank and file of their followers. It gives us one of the reasons why America has grown so secure in it's political institutions of ordered lib- erty and free government.

HISTORIC CONFERENCE

History was written on Tuesday, November 22nd. For the first time in our country the retiring Presi- dent and the President-elect met for a conference in the White House prior to the inauguration.
 President Hoover's invitation to President-elect Roosevelt to confer with him on the war-debt problem was hailed as a gesture of sports manship. President Hoover could not with any conscience, commit this nation and the incoming ad- minstration to war-debt policy of

The Wrangell Fire Department gave a banquet at the Wrangell Hotel in honor of two of it's most esteemed members, Ernest and Leonard Campbell who will leave States where they will enlist for military duty.
 F. E. Bronson presided as toast master. Loyalty and patriotism and glowing tributes to the young men were expressed in all of the speeches. H. D. Campbell, father of the two young patriots, was called upon for a few remarks. In view of the close comradeship existing between him. self and his sons, it was hardly to be expected he could keep his voice from becoming a little husky. MT. Campbell arose smiling and in his usual cheerful tone stated that this demonstration in behalf of his sons possibly had a deeper meaning for him than for them. He said his sons were leaving of their own accord and with the sincere approval of lei r parents. Continuing M r. Campbell said: ''If I can find some branch of the service where man of my age can enlist it is not un- likely that I shall soon be following in the footsteps of my boys"

his own choosing, when he knows he will leave the executive office next March. Nor could Roosevelt decide such policy before he be- comes president. A conference be- tween the two was the only solu- tion and MT. Hoover showed great qualities when he invited the con ference. It was an act which a man of small calibre could not have pro- posed.

HECK TOWN

A nick town is defined by the Trenton (Mo.) Republican-Times, as one where the folks know all the news before the paper comes out, but merely take it to see whether or not the editor got the stories &C., cording to the way they heard them" The Times is wrong. A nick town doesn't have a newspaper.

The biggest news of the past several weeks is the new system of contract bridge scoring. It is sig nificant that the new rules are the result of the first successful inter- national conference since the war. If the world powers cant get to- gether on disarmament, perhaps they can play bridge in peace.

COAST SURVEY LABORS IN
 INTEREST HUMAN SAFETY (Continued from Page 1)

total of 277,034 nautical charts and 19.692 airway maps were disposed of during the year.
 The work of determining tides and currents was of necessity first un- dertaken in connection with chart making so the mariner could know how much water he had under his keel. The use of such data expanded when engineers planning harbor inn provements realized the importance of knowing what to expect in the way of tides and currents. It is of vital importance in sewage disposal, to determine ownership of water front properties, and is used to ad vantage by thousands of fishermen and vacationists.
 The triangulation and leveling work accomplished by the coast and geodetic survey, according to Cap tain Patton, was greater than in any previous twelve months, covering 3,400 miles of arcs of first-order triangulation, 5,945 miles of first order levels, and 1,555 miles of sec ond-order leveling.
 Data Important
 The resulting data of accurately determined attitudes, longitudes, dis tances, true bearings, and elevations are used not only for chart-making so that charts of the several coasts can be put together and fit, but are regularly utilized with confidence by engineers in extending local prof ects. They are of prime importance in permanently recording boundary lines, in railroad development prof ects, and to highway, irrigation, and drainage engineers, and others.
 Without the complete magnetic survey of the United States and the regions under it's jurisdiction, and the periodic predetermination of the change in magnetism at some 5000 places, it would be impossible to navigate a vessel in safety. Captain Patton states this information is just as important to the airplane pilot who roars through the fog or darkness. Were it not shown on each airway map, pilot would be hopelessly lost within a few hun dred miles. Information in the dec lination of the compass from true nocth is also vital in retracing old coNpass lines, as it is impossible to reestablish old boundary lines un- less the compass variation of the year in question is known.
 Earthquake Data
 There has been steady increase in cooperation in the reporting of earthquakes and a number of addi- tional educational institutions send their records for interpretation as further improvement aid in making the earthquake data complete for the entire country.
 An outstanding. accomplishment with the cooperation of other agen- cies has been the development of instruments for recording strong earth motions. This is the first at- tempt with modern scientific in- struments to measure strong earth motions elsewhere than in Japan and is expected to fill an important gap in information needed by arch itects and engineers in the design of buildings and other structures.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 22.-Re-
vival of the textile industry in va
rious parts Of Virginia has done
much to dispel the gloom which
has prevailed throughout this Sec
ton in recent months. Since July
/ a number of plants have re-
opened and others have increased
their working schedules and en-
ployed new or old hands.
Included in the list of textile
plants affected by the recent re-
vival is the Riverside division Of
the Riverside and Dan River cot
ton mills at Danville. This plant,
which was involved in the disas-
trous strike of 1930-31, is resum-
ing a five-and-a-half day week
schedule. The plant has been
working four days weekly and the
new policy means jobs for 1000
or 1900 workers.
The Blue Buckle Overall Manu-
featuring Company at Danville
has jumped production from 200
dozen to TOO dozen daily owing to
a large increase in orders. Three
of the four overall factories at
Lynchburg, employing about 700
operatives, are now running five
and a half days weekly and hos
iery plants there employing SIS
hands are also about to step up
to the five and half day week.
The Industrial Rayon Company
at Covington is opening on a so
per cent capacity basis. employ
ing more than 500. and a silk
making plant at Waynesboro is
working day and night. Large
plants in Richmond and Roanoke
also resumed production after a

CHANGES SEEN
IN CAPITALISM

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
% G.NSD The new era of social
cooperation upon which the world
is embarked and it's relation to in
dividuahstic competition was the
subject Of discussion at the Will
Jamestown Institute of Politics to-
day.
Prof. Edwin F.. Gay of Harvard,
leader of the round table on ma
tional Planning" declared that
the period of wider correlation Of
industry and extension of Gov.
ernment control toward which the
world is headed will not mean the
collapse of the so-called capitalistic
system, but rather its adoption to
the new world order. The system
of free competition remains today
still strongly dominant. He said:
"The greatest immediate need
is not so much for radical &C
ton, as for knowledge of the
facts and for insight as to the
best measures to meet the
emerging situations. Trust
worthy agencies of information,
sponsored by men who COM
mand public confidence, should
be called upon to study and
recommend the program of
action"

Moderation in all things Is

are far less dangerous.

Farmers who conduct road
