FORTY SIX YEARS

November H. 1918, is date which each year we
remember one of the brightest days of all time;
for it marked the end of the World War. Novem-
Der II, $685. is likewise day which we residents
OF Washington honor; for that day Washing
ton joined the ranks of states in the union
Conditions have changed greatly since that day
forty-six years ago, and the state has made long
strides forward in the development of it's natural
resources 1t stands today as one Of the foremost
states, both in agriculture and industry It is first
in the production of appes first in the production
OF lumber, and fifth in the production of wheat.
AS we pause at this 10th birthday and look back
at what has been accomplished during this span
of years, we are brought to the realization that
nowhere else has mans labor brought such fruit
full results. And we look ahead, we feel sure
that in the years to come greater accomplish
ments are in store for us.
Today, the state is third in the generation of
electrical power, but it's 1000 XVIII represents but
one-twelfth of it's potential water power Vast
sections of as yet undeveoped fertile land insure
it's keeping step with the agricultural development
of the nation, and many of it's natural resources
are as yet comparatively untouched
1t is wonderful state in which we live

tell him what I think of him. He is
terribly to blame and ought to realize
1t. No married man has any business
playing around with another woman"
II am half afraid to let you 60,
Sylvia"
"You don't trust me? Don't you be-
lieve I love you?"
II am afraid you love me too much,
dear"
IT do love you, Marcia. I never
dreamed I could care so intensely for
anyone I have known for so short a
time. What you did for my mother
alone would make me love you. But
aside from gratitude there are other
reasons I love you for your own
splendid self, dear. Please do not
fear to trust me. I promise you I will
be neither unjust nor bitter"
"Take the check then and go. I
wish I were to see him."
well, you're not! Let him do the
explaining and apologizing. Let him
grovel at your feet. That's what he
ought to dol"
"You won't tell him that"
II don't know what shall tell him. y
please, Sylvia. You promised, re-
member
Don't fret. Some of the mad will
be taken out of me before I see Mr.
Heath. Kiss me and wish me luck,
Marcia. You do believe will try to
be wise, don't you?"
eyes, dear. Yes!"
"Thats right. You really can trust
me, you know. I'm not so bad as ]
sound"
Tucking the check into the wee
pocket of her sweater, Sylvia caught
up her pert beret and perched it upon
her curls.
$50 long!" she called, looking back
over her shoulder as she opened the
door. $50 long, Marcia! I'll be back
as soon as ever I can"
The haste with which she disap-
peared, suddenly precipitated her into
the arms of young man who stood
upon the steps preparing to knock.
"Hortie Fuller cried Sylvia breath
lessly. "Hortie! Where on earth did
you come from?"
Her arms closed about his neck and
he had kissed her twice before she
swiftly withdrew, rearranging her curls
and saying coldly:
ct cannot imagine what brought yor
here, Horatio"

CHAPTER XII

"I can't imagine" repeated Sylvia,
still very rosy and fustered, but with
her most magnificent air, what
brought you to Wilton-I really cam
not"
"Can't you?" grinned Horatio cheer
fully.
mo, I cannot.
From his superior height Of six
feet-two he looked down at her meager
five feet, amusement twink1ing in his
eyes.
"You wrote me to come, didn't you?"
he presently inquired.
II wrote you to Gomez"
'eWell, at least you led me to sup
pose you'd like it if 1 were here" per-
sisted Horatio Toward the bottom
of page two you said: I am positively
homesick'; and in the middle of the
back of page three you wrote: 1T seems
years since I've seen YOU"
'What if I did?" answered the girl
with a disdainful sllrug.
Nevertheless the sdimples showed in
her cheeks.
"And that isn't all, Horatio went
on. "At the end of page five you
wrote: Would that you were here'!
Sylvia bit her lip.
"That was only a figure Of speech
what is called poetic license"
Then you didn't mean it when you
said you wished I was here"
Horatio was obviously disappointed.
why, of course am pleased to see

Then she suddenly became aware
that the boat was being guided by a
master hand.
why, Hortie Fuller, I had no idea
you could row like this!" exclaimed she
with admiration.
Horatio deigned no response
wherever did you learn to pull such
an oar?"
Varsity crew."
"Of course, I had forgotten" she
apologized, her eyes following as with
each splendid stroke the craft shot
forward.
Although the oarsman ignored her
appreciation he was not unrnindful Of
It.
"Where do we land?"
Anywhere"
He bent forward and with one final
magnificent sweep sent the nose of the
dory out of the channel.
Come on" he called, leaping to the
beach,
"But-but, Hortie 7 can't get ashore
here. I'll wet my white Shoes"
Jump"
"It's too far Pull the boat higher
on the sand'
mot on your life. Jump darling!
I'll catch you"
She stood up in the bow.
II can't. It's too far.
Nonsense! Where's your sporting
blood? Don't be afraid. I'm right
here"
Suppose you shouldn't catch me?"
"But I shall"
He would. She was certain of it.
Still she wavered
IT don't want to jump" she pouted.
you'll have to. Come on, Beauti-
full. You're wasting time"
II think you are prefectly horrid,"
she flung out as she sprang forward.
An instant later she was in his arms
and tight in grip she knew herself
poWerless to loosen
"Let me go, Hortie! Let me go!"
she pleaded.
II shall sweetheart. All in good
time. Before I set you free, though,

ROLL CALL

Armistice Day each year marks the beginning
of the Red Gross drive for funds OF the many SER
vice organizations in the country, this order is per-
haps better known to most of us than any Of the
others, and rightly so, for hardly day goes by
that we do not hear of it's work for the benefit Of
humanity.
During the past year security has been brought
to thousands Of families by the Red Cross. Floods
in many sections forced families to flee from their
homes. The Red Cross gave them shelter, food,
clothing and medical until the waters receded.
Tornadoes in the spring caused distress to thou
sands whose homes or farm dwellings were de-
stroyed by terrific winds and storms. The Red
Cross gave necessary relief Where the family was
without resources or credit, the organization aided
in rebuilding their homes These were two Of many
disasters in which the Red Cross gave aid
Renewed hope is given through Red Cross aid
to the disabled war veteran and his family, and
the morale of the man in the service is sustained
through Red Cross cooperation in solving his per-
sonal problems. The welfare of the veteran
and the service man is major responsibility of
the organizations
Kindness to an unfortunate neighbor is the
keynote of Red Cross Volunteer Service. All over
the nation women volunteers sew for the needy,
for the sick, make surgical dressings, make braile
books for the blind and visit the i'll in hospitals
Gray Ladies direct recreational activities for vet
Grams in hospitals. Women in canteen corps, motor
corps, health aid and other groups find many ways
to serve in their communities
Many of these activities seem not to affect us
personally but we are all familiar with the work
done by the organization in teaching life saving
and first aid. Disastrous floods here in the Pacific
Northwest two years ago brought realization of
the work done by the order.
By contributing to the Red Cross, we do our
share to Tighten the burdens of our neighbors and
enable the organization to continue it's work of
alleviating suffering among mankind.

we must settle one trivial point. Are
we engaged or are we not?"
She made no answer.

tend to duck you in the water. If
we are, you shall tell me you love me
and go free"
A swift, shy smile Illuminated her
face.
"I-I-don't want to be ducked,
Hortie,' she murmured, raising her
arms to his neck.
"You precious thing! You shan't be.
Now the rest Of it. Say you love me-"
81 guess you know that"
"But I wish to hear you say it,
"I-I-think do"
"That's a half hearted statement.
"I-I-know / do, Hortie."
"Ah, that is better And love you,
Sylvia. Loving you is an old, old story
with me-a sort of habit. I shall never
change. You are too much a part Of
me, Sylvia. Now pay the boatman and
you shall go. One is too cheap. Two is
miserly. The fare is three. won't take
less"

THE STORY

Marcia despite her unfortunate ma
trimonial experience, finds pleasure in
her daily life, but is lonely at times,
and has invited her late husbands
niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she has
never seen, to visit her. The girl ar
rives and Marcia takes to her at once,
while Sylvia, expecting to see some
what elderly aunt, finds Marcia more
like sister.
Into the uneventful happy lives of
the two women comes adventure. A
stranger, on the verge Of exhaustion,
finds his way to Marcia's home. Cared
for, he explains that his power boat
ran aground in the fog. His wrist is
injured. Secretly, he asks Marcia to
hide package containing jewelry,
which she does. The doctor comes, with
Elisha Winslow, town sheriff, bringing
the news of a jewel robbery on neigh
boring Long Island estate. The stran
GER Hospitality put to bed, gives his
name as Stanley Heath.
Unable to write because of his in
jured wrist, Heath has Marcia MRS.
S. G. Heath" He also wires orders to
man named Currier to come at once.
Sylvia, in her room, bedecks herself
i with the jewels. At Marcia's approach,
she hides them there. Heath asks Mar
cha to bring him the jewels. They are
gone! Terror stricken, she informs
Heath. Later, Sylvia restores them to
their original hiding place.
Eleazer Croker brings telegram
for Heath. Sylvia being away, he deems
it an opportune time to pop the ques-
ton" to Marcia, but her thoughts are
busy with her stranger guest. Elisha
Winslow, arriving with the news of a
fire in the village, sends Eleazer hastily
home. Elisha, by accident, discovers
the jewels and has no doubt they are
the stolen gems and that Heath is
the thief. Saying nothing to Marcia,
but replacing the jewels, he returns to
the village to make plans, with Eleazer,
for arresting Heath.
The pair first takes the sheriff S
badge and handouts, which are bro
ken, to Sawyer Falls to be fixed, and
while there learn of telegram sent
by Heath to Mrs. Heath. It is not
until the next morning that they are
able to make the trip to the Home
sead. Meanwhile, Currier, Heath's
right-hand man, arrives, and in look
ing for the supposedly lost jewels,
finds them under the brick where they
had been hidden originally. Taking
them, he starts back for New York in
Heath's boat just before the sheriff
and Eleazer arrive.
The officials, having no evidence
against Heath, leave, discounted. To
Sylvia, Marcia admits that she loves
Heath, and still has faith in his in
[ nocence While Sylvia is sure of his
guilt, she declares she will help him
escape, which Marcia is unwilling to
| do.
Marcia tells Heath she believes him
innocent, but urges him, if he is guilty,
to confess. He admits nothing though
obviously gratified by her trust and
almost acknowledged love.
The story continues:
] Heath compels Marcia to admit she
loves him, also telling her he is going
to give himself up to the sheriff She
insists this must be the end of their as
ISOLATION and he, thinking she will not
face the disgrace" reproaches and
leaves her, going into custody" in the
sheriff's house. To Marcias dismay he
leaves a check, to pay for her hospi-
tality.

ooh, please-please, dear-for my
sake! I can't let you go if you go in
that spirit" pleaded Marcia in alarm.
There, there-you need not worry
for fear I shall maltreat your Romeo,
richly as he deserves it," was the re-
sponse.' II could kill him-but I won't
because of you. Nevertheless, warn
you that if I get the chance I shall

 Country, Notes Disclose

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Mex- ico's refusal to permit American companies to drill oil in her terri tory was disclosed Sunday as inn periling the motive behind this country's 1919 ban on shipment of to that country
 The Mexican government had been warned by Henry P. Fletcher and others, hitherto unpublished correspondence in the State De- partment archives revealed, it would have trouble getting guns and ammunition if it persisted in it's oil policy Fletcher, now chair man of the Republican National Committee, was on duty With the State Department at the time. Just previously he had been Ainbassa4 dor to Mexico. s
 Mexico refused to yield to the arms embargo and this was foll0w- ed by increased attacks on Amefi- cans and American property which aroused high feeling in the United States. The Mexican government needed munitions badly to keep bandits such as Villa in check, the confidential report of Fletcher said.

MUST BE SPECIFIC

That alone would means in turn, greater delberation on the part of the administrations greater care in it's redrafting of the re- coyery act, which is to expire next June. g
 There is, however, this further element: The court put great em- phasis on the point that when Congress delegates authority to the President, that delegation must be specific, and must have limitations.
 Much Of the new dear' legisla- ton was rushed through Congress twas even described at the time by administration ad herents as hastily drawn and designed to meet an emergency. Much of it delegated power in the most sweep ing terms.
 Since the court spoke there is no disp39ition among administra- ton lawyers to continue that prac- tice. sThey may. in the end, ask congress to asfthorize the President to continue tc do everything he has been dodne, and more; but they VIII see to it that the grants are more specifie--that they say more exactly just what the execu- tive can do and cannot do.
 laTo that degree, then, and in those two directions, the court has made itself a real factor in the practical conduct of the new or der at Washington. Many more decisions. still are to come.

Widowed Queen Finds
 Work as Her Solace

BELGRADE, Jan. 30. = Queen Marie of Yugoslavia, widowed by the tragedy of October g at Mar seille, is finding solace in hard work.

instead of in January. The pur- pose being that the holdovers will be in office at the time of the convening of the Legislature and more conversant with the matters on which the Legislators may need advice. Also the measures would remedy such a condition as arose in the Treasurer's office this year where it is necessary to pass a de- ficiency appropriation to pay the Treasurer Elects salary until he is officially inducted into office in April.
 Road Project
 Two additional measures pro- yiding for appropriations also were introduced. James Patterson of Valdez asks in his bill that SIS 900 be appropriated for construction of road from Valdez to the ex- isting road which extends from the mouth of Mineral Greek to the mining district on the creek. The total cost of the project would be $30,O00, the bill recites, but it specifics that no work shall be done until half of the cost can be covered through federal ap- propriation or through local CO., operation. It further requests that s7.500 of the monies allotted to the Third Division for road work be aHoeated to this particular pro- ject, thus the actual additional appropriation would be for $7,5o0
 Shelter Cabins
 William N. Growden of Ruby in a bill asks that $15.0Oo of the money appropriated to the second third and fourth divisions be used for construction and maintenance of shelter cabins.
 A. H. ziegler brought in three measures, one providing for pubh- cation of the session laws and an- other. dealing particularly with Ketchikan, would allow cities own ing their own power plants to elect a board Of five members to man.

DIMOND WANTS POOR CONVICT LAW APPLICABLE TO ALASKA

Delegate Dimond appeared be- fore the Committee on the Judiei- ary in support of two bills that he introduced, states a recent mes sage from his office. One would make what is commonly termed the poor conYicts law applicable to Alaska. In the United States there is a general law permitting a prisoner sentenced to pay a fine and who is financially unable to do so, to make affidavit that he is a pauper-aside from S20 which the law provides cannot be drawn upon. and after serving thirty days of his fine he may be released. In Alaska the law compels the pris- oner to serve the full amount of his fine, sometimes representing more than a year in jail because of inability to pay. It is generally felt that the same law used in the States should apply to Alaska.
 The other bill provides for right of appeal from judgments or decisions of the District oCutr for Alaska to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in all criminal cases, and in civil cases where the value in controversy exceeds $1.OOO.
