FISHERMEN AND
 CANNERY LABOR
 SUPPORT CODE
Labor in Western Districts Is Prosperous, MIRA
 Survey Indicates

One of the most prosperous fish ing seasons on record has been ex- perienced in the fishing districts to the west of here, according to c. E. Morgan, investigator for the Alaska MIRA Administration who returned this morning from a 30- day survey which took him through Cordova, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, upper Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak districts. He also met many fishermen from the Bristol Bay district.
 Generally. labor conditions are excellent. and cannery workers as well as fishermen earned substan- tially larger sums this year than has been the case heretofore. Cred it for this improvement is given to the Administration which sponsor ed the salmon canning and fishing code that raised labor rates and fish prices" MT. Morgan said.
 Everybody seemed to be gratified with the results of the code opera tions the first year. There were virtually no complaints from any sources. The fishermen in Bristol Bay had a particularly profitable year, he said.

JACKSON STATUE
 IS RENOVATED
New Orleans Cleans Beau tiful EdifiCe of War
 General

New Orleans (UP).-Over a cen- tury after he waged successful
 warfare without injury, Gen. An drew Jackson was "decapitated"
 and suffered other minor "in- juries' to himself and his mount. l The bronze and iron statue of the warrior and his horse that
 have reared in the center of Jack
 son Square, the heart of the his-
 toric French Quarter in New Or
 leans, since 1856, has fallen prey
 to time. Rust split front leg of the horse, at holes in the saddle
 and nibbled on the legs of Jack
 son himself.
 A group of playful youngsters
 recently sent the head of the | proud general tumbling into the dust
 Jackson's head once more, how ever, gazes over the surrounding
 scenes and Dr Robert Glenk, cur- | ator of the Louisiana State Mu- scum, cleaned the edfice with
 kerosene, repaired the holes and gave the bronze and iron likeness
 a coat of parafin oil to protect 1t
 from further destruction by the | elements.
 General Jackson, after he had
 twice been president, laid the cor
 nerstone for the statue in 1840, 25 years after his celebrated de-
 fense in the Battle of New Or
 leans. Cheered by a large crowd,
 he rode in state in barouche to the Place d'Armes. In 1851, the
 name of the plot was changed to | Jackson Square and the statue
 was completed and unveiled Feb.

Hiram didn't come to her rescue. He was slow and never saw things ahead as she did. All those things about teaching J the ways of life, he left to the mother.

Mrs Hiram Peabody's bell rang again when she had no more than just left it, but her knotty fingers were back at the supper mullins and she continued to sift flour through a large, round seive, al- though her doorbell on it's rusty metal spring repeated its leaping summons.
 When she had finished the sift- ing, she once more dusted her floured fingers on her gingham apron and started back through the hall. Land sakes!" she mutt tered petulantly. Will we ever have peace and quiet in this town again? Who's that this time"
 The bell danced wildly on its spring, demanding her.
 "Hannah," she called as she passed the stairs, "can't you come down and open that door? just got rid of one peddler and no more'n get my hands back in the flour than this bell goes off again. !"
 No, ma, I'm just gettin' into my dress" came Hannah's voice down the narrow stairway.
 But Sarah Peabody wasn't waiting for Hannah. She never waited for anybody to do a chore. She was thin and worn. out from never waiting. As she twisted the knob, a wan looking youngster in- stantly wedged his foot in the

 Hiram came into the kitchen from the barn. He reached to the clock shelf for his pipe.
 "Any mail, Hiram.?"
 "Yes, Sarah" he replied glumly. "A letter from Ed"
 ''What's the matetr, Hi? Ed ain't sick Is he? He ain't sick so far away from home? Who'd take care of him? ?"
 "well, no, Ed ain't sick. He's lost his job."
 "Ed out of work?" she faltered, her crooked hands clutching eac,i thre involuntarily.
 "Ain't Ed working?" asked Hannah. "That ends my business course! I'll never get away from Ganos' Crossing now"
 Well, he's got a job," comforted her father, but he don't like 1t so good. It's some kind of a sellin' job; agent, I guess you'd call 1t, for some electric .sweepin' machine" JOUR ED SELLIN'

 "Agent!' gasped Sarah. Agent! Our Ed sellin' from door to door?" Her eyes flooded, then her fire re- turned. "Hiram Peabody, get out that flivver. Go up the road and fetch back that vanilla agent, with the big black bag" .
 She crossed to Hannah, Cant you even lay g supper cloth |Smooth out them wrinkles, so." Her twitching hands caught nervously at the fringe of the red and white cloth. Now, set one more place. He's likely hungry. Hi," she snapped between evaporation and grief, ''why don't you start? May be our Ed ain't got no supper to- night" With both shaking hands she prodded his thick, rounded shoulder and guided him to the door.
 Eds father understood. He de. parted laboriously, and as usual, heavily conscious of instructions called excitedly after him, Bring him right back here. He can have Eds room over Sunday. Hannah can carry breakfast to him, he needs waitin' on. Hiram," she called louder, "he might know how to fix the flivver, Ed would" THE END. ~
