Jane.
80 that's why I want a big iron
pot-to boil the chowder in, and
some salt and pepper with which
to flavor it," went on Mr.. Long
ears. TT is all right to put little
salt into clam chowder, isn't it?"
he asked.
"Oh, yes,'' salo Nurse Jane,
laughing. But not in candy. Here
you are!" So she let Mr.. Long
ears take the iron pot. But what
about a stove to cook the chowder
on and the clans and the dishes
and all that?" asked the muskrat
lady.
I'VE have dishes in Seaweed
Camp" said Mr.. Longears. 1--WE
shall use the shells from which I
take the clans to boil in the
chowder AS for the clans, the
ocean waves wash them up on the
sand All I need to do is to gather
the clans, cook them into a chowd-
er and serve it to the Old Sea
Dog who will be my company. I'll
go on ahead and make the chowder,
I'll have it all ready for him when
he comes"
you are very kind" said Nurse
Jane as Uncle Wiggily hoped
away with the iron pot, the salt,
pepper and crackers. He could
get water and clans at the Sea-
weed Camp and, as he had said,
the dishes were already there, large,
empty clam shells.
"As for spoon, the Sea Dog can
take a small SHE'LL" said Mr.. Long
ears as he hoped toward the
camp.
1t did not take the rabbit gentle
man long to build a fire Of drift
wood, hang the iron pot over it
and start making the clam chow
der. He found many clans on the
beach and popped them into the
kettle. Soon the Old Sea Dog came
cantering along. He was hungry.
Smells Good

ed shifting the air.
II hope it will taste better,
said Uncle Wiggily. "Sit down and
I'll give you big dish of my clam
chowder." This the Sea Dog did.
But he had no sooner taken one
mouthful of the choWder with a
shell spoon than he opened his
mouth and hoWled.
whats the matter?' asked Un-
Gle Wiggily. "Too hot?"
mol" barked the Sea Dog. "But
you forgot to take the shells off
the CLAIMS. I've broken half doz-
en- teeth! Oh, wow!" and he danced
around on his hind legs.
"Oh, my goodness" gasped Uncle
Wiggily. Il didn't know you had to
take the clans out of their shells
to make chowder. I supposed you
boiled them all up together" Then
he and the Sea Dog laughed and
after the shells were picked out
the choWder was very good. The
Dog ate it all. And if the knitting
needle will crochet a baseball cap
for the head of the stairs, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily's soft
crab.

"Re-elect I. Mayfield to the Of
flee of Justice of the Peace" has
become slogan with his many
friends, and this, because they
recognize in him, not only the
ability to perform the many
duties of his office but because
they justly appreciate his activ-
tiles in civic matters during his
many years in this community.
Not only are they appreciative
of his services in his official
capacity in the enforcement OF
the law, but of his aptness along
educational lines to that end.
This is evidenced by his recent
appointment for the second
time, as Chairman of Street and
Highway Safety Committee un-
der the auspices of the Califor-
mia State Chamber of Com
merce.
1t is upon his record of long
years of citizenship and his Of
ficial record that Judge May

said Uncle Wiggily politely, "but

Then why are you going to make

They attended the in- stallation of the new President of the university and visited with a number of Seattle and Juneau friends.

 Room and board at the College dormitory has been reduced to $45 per month. The other expenses will total about $50 for the com plete course.

 Inquiries that are being received at the College suggest that more men plan to take the work this winter than in any previous year. The prevailing high price of gold has already made it's effect felt through the various gold mining districts of the Territory and new developments and prospecting will be more intense next summer.

PLEDGE OF GOOD FAITH

Instead of the unmeasured re- buke which might conceivably have been inspired by the questionnaire of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, for instance, the business world heard pledge of the governments good faith in an effort to help business, not destroy it.
 Besides mentioning the magic word profits, "a thing the Presi- dents right-wing advisers have been trying for some time to get him to do unequivocably-he hinted at NRA relaxations and proposed capitalization truce which easily might have a very wide signifi- canoe.
 Certainly the administration has been accused often enough of hay ing gone over to the labor unions. In the very logic of the present sit- uation, unionism finds the strike it's most potent weapon for expan- sion. The recent textile strike, among others, undoubtedly had be- hind it purpose to build up the textile union, and increase its prestige.

Business may have failed to get all it asked for in President Roose- velt's latest address to the nation, but it did get far more than some of it's leaders expected.
 It received, it is true, no answer to it's often-repeated question about the budget and the currency, and no complete bill of particulars about the future of MIRA, or relief.
 But underneath the public ex- pressions of dissatisfaction there was apparent a certain feeling of gratitude that the President had gone as far toward reinsurance as he did, and had left unsaid some of the things a contrary character which a nasty temper might have written into his speech.

PICTURED AS RADICAL

The truth is that in certain busi- ness circles MT Roosevelt was being accused of the most extreme radicalism.
 He was being pictured in whis- pered consultations as wholly out of sympathy with organized indus try, bent on destroying the profit system" verging directly toward a naturalization of property close ly resembling socialism.
 Various recent events were cited to prove that thesis his speech at Green Bay, the reception he ac- corded Upton Sinclair, the resig- nation of Lewis Douglas as budget director, the delay in lifting NRA's regulatory powers over business.
 There were those whose specu- lated whether he was not now ready, in the presence of continu- ing evidence of his hold upon the people, to take the decisive plunge, openly defy the industrial groups,

 MT. Miller had been with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the last twenty years, and was station ed at Metlakatla, Seattle, and Ju- neau previous to assuming the po- sition he held at the time of his death.
 He was a fine and able man and his death will be great loss to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Alaska" MT. Hawkesworth said to- day.

 For all these reasons-both be- cause of what the President did say to comfort the right wing and what he refrained from saying to comfort the left wing-his address was rated as conciliatory within some of the highest circles of or ganized industry"

 For an instant as they mounted the back stairs, Mrs Blake forgot the pups were gone and thought to herself, q hope they'll keep quiet for once." Then she remem- bered and breathed a sigh of relief.
 The prospective tenant seemed to like the fiat. He even said so. But something was on his mind, thought Mrs Blake, as she closed { the back door after their tour of inspection. They descended to the yard where Trixie was tied to a stake.
 ''Is that your dog?" he asked. "Yes," admitted Mrs Blake rather hopelessly. Then in a sud- den defense, "But she's a splendid watch dog. Never makes up with strangers and never barks except to give an alarm"
 But her heart sank for Trixie after sniff1ng the mans hands as he petted her, went into an ecstasy of friendly barking, licking, wag- ging and jumping. ''She doesn't usually act like that" she faltered.
 Maybe she knows a friend when she finds one," smiled the stranger as he rubbed Trixie's quivering nose. "You see, I like dogs and well, I've been wanting to ask you that is, my wife said you had some dogs here and we thought maybe you wouldn't object to our bringing some with us. If you don't mind the dogs we'll take the flat"
