I expect it back any time now" Jes-
sica said, "and also expect some i'm

She shot a glance of triumph at
Jim but he only grinned at her.
"Here comes the yacht now" Mrs
Parkman exclaimed as the handsome
craft floated in as close as possible
and the crew dropped anchor.
"Well, can you tie that!" Jim shout
ed as the small boat was being rowed
in to the landing. In his excite he
stood up.
"There's my father!" he yelled
"Now you'll see somthing, Jessica.
He started for the landing and Jes-
sica followed.
"Well, guess you'll see something,
too, Mister Smart Aleck Harper.
There is Mr.. Curier, my lawyer, and
he is bringing me my deed to this
island" Jessica cried.
"Yeah, Well, my father is bringing
my deed to this island-but what does
an island more or less mean, dear?
What do all the islands in the world
mean, honey? It's you want"
Jessica pulled away as the boat came
to the landing.
"Hello there" Jim shouted, as his
father stepped to the landing. "Got
my deed to this island?"
"Sorry, son, but this isn't your is
land!"
"Now I hope you are satisfied"
Jessica said.
"Er-uh, Miss Parkman," Lawyer
Currier said, "I'm sorry but this is
not your island, either"
"The instructions you gave me, miss"
Jessica's skipper said, "proved to be
erroneous"

Jessica Parkman goes to what she
believes is her own island off the Flor
ida coast. Jim Harper is camping
there, sure that it is his own island.
Jessica sends word for MIR. Harper
to vacate. Jim sees her and falls in
love. He pretends that he is Robin
SON, a companion of Harper. Both
fall in love. Jim says Harper has
gone. Jessica learns of his deceit and
is furious. Jessica discovers where
rum runners cache liquor and informs
the authorities. In revenge the rum
runners pile brush against the bum
galow at night and set fire to it while
Jessica and her mother are sleeping.

vided without cost to the town. The
trees have been dug and have probably
arrived at Easton. Mayor Wrightson
will at once have them planted, some
deputy from the State Forrester's Of
flee will supervise the work.
The trees were to have been planted
with labor furnished by the Welfare
Board, but due to a scarcity of money
the Board had to suspend all work
relief projects. If funds are received
by the Board within a few days as
sistance will be given in the tree plant
ing. This is project that has al
ready been approved by the State En-
gineer.

said.
Sykes signed. Jim took him ashore
at camp, gave him a drink and sent

 Yesterday forceful Hermann Goering, flight general of Ger well as minister for aviation, came here to urge Danzig to vote Ger man.
 Dr K. Papee, Polish minister and President Gleiser of the senate, joined to-day in denying an an- noupcement at Warsaw that Papee protested against the presence of Nazi orators in the campaign. Polish sources said that Papee's protest was against the manner in which Nazis conducted the cam- paign, including anti-semitism and and anti-Polish activities.
 Warsaw. April 5-CU.P. )-Po- lands new friendship with Ger many, an important factor in the ornaments crisis. was put to the test to-day as a result of the cam paign for election of the Danzig diet.
 The government. 1t was an- nounced, has protested firmly to the Danzig diet. the governing body against the participation of German Nazi orators in a "back to Germany platform.

 Hitler Made Proposals
 London. April 5--(U.P)-Adolf Hitler gave Sir John Simon written memorandum making two specific proposals for qualification of Europe in their talks at Berlin, 1t was revealed authoritatively to- day.
 l. A 10-year non-aggressio treaty with Germany's neighbors.
 2. A pledged to withhold eco- homie and financial assistance from any aggressor nation.
 This new clarified conflicting re- ports whether Hitler made any off, fers, if he did. what they were.

 Republicans regained Michigan last November after losing the state by 132,008 votes to MT Roose- welt in 1892. In local elections this week republicans took about every thing in sight. Patronage probably will be the means by which demo- cratic high command will attempt to revive the Michigan party or- ganization.
 More Jobs in Sight <
 Fortunately for Farley, terms of republican postmasters are ex- piring. Some 75 expired recently and 100 more jobs soon will be va cant. Better than those jobs are the collectorships of customs and internal revenue, both awaiting de- serving democrats who can help put Michigan in the Roosevelt col umn.
 Weakness in New England Is not particularly damaging to MT Roos- evelt's prospects. He lost Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Con- necticut in 1892 and won Massa :. chusctts and Rhode Island. Demo-. crats carried all but New Hamp- shire and Vermont last November. Party leaders claim privately that they can win in 1896 with tonly one. big eastern state, if necessary, and explain that state would be Penn sylvania of which they are more. confident than of New York.
 Loyalty of Middle West
 Democratic confidence that MT Roosevelt will be reelected is based in part on belief that the middle west will remain loyal to the source of PWA and agricul- tural adjustment administration checks and other farm benefits. Farley does not believe there will be formidable third party move. ment despite the efforts to rouse a farm-lab bor rebellion to the New Deal.

 salir had been meployed at the Liebreich farei for the past nine or 10 years. He had been a steady workman, according to the farm owner. As far as is known, he has no living relatives. He was of AL banlan descent.
 When found the man was fully clothed, except that he had rub bers on and no shoes. The body was removed to the Stokes funeral home, 694 River side street.

The exact number of men inc volved was not announced. The ministry of war said that at pres ent the corps number between B. 900 and 10000 men each. They are skeleton corps, which would be filled in quickly in the event of war to total 50,000 each.
 !To-day's defense council meet ing was planned as the final move in the work of strengthening the army.
 The men who are to be kept in the service until July number 1S0,- 900. In addition, those who re- port for duty April 23 will bring the ordinary army to .27S,000. Then it is planned to bring the pres ent force mobile" to 72,000.
 Trained Conscripts
 France, in the midst of heavy troop movements to the great chain of forts guarding the Ger man frontier, decided to-day to swell her army by retaining under the colors the trained conscripts who are about to be released.
 The supreme council of national defense heard reports from Foreign Minister Pierre Laval and the Min isters of air, war and navy. The council decided to ask the cabl- net tomorrow to issue q decree maintaining Temporarily" under the colors the last half of the con- scripts totalling 10000 men, in- stead of liberating them late this month.
 The council felt it would be bet ter not to fix the duration of the provisional lengthening of service at either three or four months, pre- ferring to decide on the time of liberation when the present crisis is over.
 Mazis in Danzig
 Danzig, April 5--(U.P.)-Nazis of Danzig, spurred by the exhorta- tions of orators from their father land, fought to-day for a back to-Germany,,' majority in Sundays diet elections.
 To thme the election is an un- official plebiscite to tell the world that they want to go back to the fatherland from which the Yer sailles treaty tore them.
 It is the first drive in a move ment whose nature was revealed with crystal clarity by the election placards in the streets:
 "The Saar is free; now it's Dan- gigs turn"
 Ojcial German interest in the election for 72 members of the diet of this little free city of Danzig" nestling on the border of East Prussia is intense.
