LIFE IN COUNTRY
SHOWN TO HAVE
MANY ADVANTAGES

Increased earnings and enjoyment
of country life are the principal adj
~vantages of living In the country. and
transportation costs and lack of con-
veniences are the chief dlsadvant-
ages.
These reasons were given most fire.
Quently by 700 part-tlme farmers In
six New Yorl counties, says Kenneth
Hood of the New York State College
of Agriculture, who Is making a study
of the advantages of the rural home
for the city worker.
Locations on hard-surfaced roads
are preferred because of lower trans
p%ortation costs, more modern conven-
Iences and opportunities to cater to
tourist trade and TO sell garden pro-
duce at roadside stands.
Newcomers from the city say that
actual living costs In the country are
about $3.50 a year lower than In the
city. and that the chief reduction Is
In house rent. Also garden, poultry
and dairy products supplement the
regular income.

CHAPTER Vl-contlnued

-
1.-THE other set matches the print
on the gun, and that doesn't fit any
of our previous notions of the
crime. Who else was there, whose
specimens we haven't got? Why did
the murderer go there with a re-
volver, then change his mind and
use Doctor Abernathy's dagger?
How does 1t happen that the muir
derer left a thumb-print on the re-
volver although he wiped the dag
ger clean of prints? This doesn't
make sense.
and" he continued, why is Cal
lis Shlpley trying to protect Web
ster Spears? BY all the laws of rea-
son, that should be his thumb-print
on the revolver"
Peter was equally puzzled. Did
the fact that this print on the re-
volver remained unidentified absolve
all those whose fnger-prints did not
match 1t from suspicion? How about
Calls Shipley? Reluctantly, he was
forced to admit that Kilday had
ample grounds for his mistrust of
her. But If both Rylie Carmody
and Webster Spears were cleared
of suspicion, what was the girl try
ing to conceal? And if that print
on the gun was a clue Gas it certain
~ seemed TO be) who else should
they suspect? What other finger
prints could they match against it?
The woman in blue? Who was she?
How could they obtain a specimen
Of her finger-prints? Daniel Bulls
was the only person who could iden-
tify her, and it seemed certain that
they could expect little help from
him along that line. Was there
anyone else? Fletcher, Franklin's
servant? That was absurd. He
hadn't been lear the church. There
was Milo Dunbar, too. He had
been there, but he had been the
dead mans partner. What mo-
tive could be manufactured from
that? Besides, there was no evil
dence that he had been in the sac
risty at any time, other than the
doubtful testimony of Nick Royce
that he had been unable to find the
man In the church, a short time be-
fore the wedding. AS Kilday had
pointed out, this was not important
evidence, inasmuch as 1t would have
been almost surprising If Royce had
been able to pick him out of all that
throng which had crowded the
church.
All these and many other doubts
assailed the novelist. He could not
shake his skepticism concerning
fnger-prints, either. If there were
none on the knife With which the
crime had been committed, why
should they have expected the muir
derer to have left any elsewhere?
If that were true, how account for
the thumb-print on the gun? He
was irritated by the manner In
which his reasoning led him in cir
cles. Nowhere could he find a tangi-
BILE fact to which he might cling or
from which he might argue.
He almost wished that he might
share Kilday's confidence in that
thumb-print. :,
The door behind them was flung
epen by an excited subordinate.
We've found it, Sergeant /" the
xan exclaimed. "We have discov-
cred who registered that revolver
when 1t was purchased"
Kilday made no attempt to con-
zeal his excitement. "Who was 1t,
man? Don't stand there like an
idiot" he urged impatiently.

ALASKA RANKS WITH MAINE.

There is old political saw that "as goes Maine 50 goes the Nation" Maine's election is held on the second Monday in September. The trend of the vote there is ordinarily good barometer for the rest of the country. This year for the first time. Alaska's election is held in September, coming one day after Mane's Thus, in two days this week, today and tomorrow, political observers will be watching the vote boiled to see how the public is reactng to the policies of President Roosevelt.
 Maine is normally Republican It was one of the few States carried by Hoover in 1892, the Re- publican Presidential candidate carrying it by some s6OOO votes A Democratic Governor was elected by less than 2OoO votes and the Democrats also elected two out of three Representatives This year, most political observers predict the Republicans will elect the Governor the Senator and at least two out of three of the Representatives. If the Republicans poll a majority of 10000 to 5000o votes, that will be regarded a normal condition. If they exceed that number, it safely be counted as distinct setback to the Democrats. Republican majority of less than 25 OO0 is ordinarily counted as Demo- cratic victory.
 Normally Alaska has been considered Republican It gave unprecedented majorites to the Democratic candidates two years ago. If it returns majority of Democrats to the Legislature this year as now seems certain the party will be justified in calling it victory
 All indications point to Democratic success. The big vote last April was,ia the pempfFatif primary Under the Democratic Administration Alaska has been accorded greater recognition than under any preceding G O. P regime It has put the Territory on the same footing the rest of the country III the Presidents recovery program. The benefits ac- cruing therefrom have been widespread and sub- stantial Not section of the Territory but wha mas had some tangible proof of the Administra' tions interst in Alaska. Voters are hardly apt 0 vote the Republican ticket under such circum stances.
 There are no vital local issues between the twt parties Both are pledged to about the same pro gram Territorially The Democrats have in addition expressed their approval of the New Deal an' pledged themselves to support it. to work in harmon

with Washington. The C. O. P. candidates are either openly critical of the Roosevelt program or have been silent regarding it. Under such crcum- stances it is not reasonable to expect very heavy Republican vote
 The Empire believes that the entire Democratic ticket ought t6 be elected It is safe and sane progressive without being radical. It can be de- pended on to work for the best interests of the whole Territoty without subordinating most of the people for the special advantage of limited number Both labor and capital are assured of fair treat ment or in the words of President Roosevelt, a square deal"
 One thing that every voter ought to take into consideration when he or she marks ballot to- morrow is that the Alaska vote is going to be used in the campaign preceding election in the rest of the country next November an argument either for or against the President and the New Deal This year. at least, Alaska well as Maine will be viewed as a political barometer.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-09-10
GET THE VOTE OUT!

Not in a great many years has there been so lethargic a political campaign in Alaska as the one
 just closing Local candidates with but a; few exceptions have confined their efforts to quiet per- sonal contact and by-mail drives. Only one or two have covered the entire Division, making public appeals for support. Not a single Democratic can didate has appeared a stage to urge his and his partys cause This has been due largely to 8 conviction that most Alaskans satisfied with the Roosevelt and local administrations and vigorous campaign is unnecessary.
 The advancement of the election date from November to the second Tuesday in September, too, is a factor in the apathy. Voting is more or less of a habit Voters are accustomed to going to the polls in November and September is too early TOT them to take active interest in matters political
 The fact that there is contest for Delegate to Congress and there is but Territorial officer -Treasurer-up for election, tends to lessen public interest All of these factors combined naturally will serve to keep the vote down.
 That makes it encumbent upon party workers, both Democrat and Republican, to work harder than they do in a normal campaign. If we are to nave a represen. tive vote lot of work will have to be done tomorrow by the precinct committees and their assistants Many individuals will not take the trouble to vote unless they personally solicited
 Juneau should cast at least 1,700 votes It IS the largest town in Alaska. In the last preceoihe election two years ago, this community boiled more than that number. Its population is greater tooay than it was then We should not fall below the 1882 figure and if proper efforts are put 1orth It Is possible to exceed it. Everyone who IS quallfleo ought to vote. Regardless of how or for whom you vote make it your first duty to go to the polls tomorrow and cast ballet.
