RED CROSS IN
 THIRD DAY OF
 JUNEAU DRIVE
Amount Collected So Far Less than Half for Same
 Time Last Year

The Red Cross drive, now in its third day, has collected $359 .00-less than half the amount received at a corresponding date last year. This report has to do with Juneau alone, the l9 outlying districts included in the local drive being as yet unre- ported.
 In divulging this information, how ever, A. B. Phillips, Roll Call Chair man this year, said, Roll call work CTS have by no means canvassed the entire city as yet. We feel confident that Juneau's contribution will equal last years ot $933. The need is great er this year than it was last, and therefore those who donated last year should feel it incumbent upon them to give at least the same amount, if not more, in 1885"
 MT. Phillips stressed the fact that only 50 cents of each contribution goes to the national agency, the rest being kept here for use in local emer- gency.
 Enumerating the work of the Red Cross in Juneau and it's vicinity, MT. Phillips referred to orders now in the hands of B. M Behrends. Presi- dent, calling for 50 pairs of glasses for needy children; orders for dental ,,,o-t, for tu,o nbildren averapinU $40 each; flour and clothing which has been provided to needy families; blankets furnished to victims of fire.
 Naturally names cannot be made public in such cases" said Phillips. The books are open to the public, but no names appear on them"
 Arrangements have been made by which the Red Cross will supply cod liver oil and halibut tablets to school children who are unable to afford their purchase.
 The Red Cross has assisted also in obtaining the service of full time nurse, Mrs Emmett Connor, who at tends to routine inspection of chil- dren in Douglas and Juneau public schools and in the Parochial School in Juneau.
 We do not doubt" said MT Phil lips today, that Juneau VII once again rise to the occasion"

I am glad to remember today that never for moment doubtsd Mildred. She was the only girl in town that bought that perfume; | that I knew. And someone in town had committed that robbery -- walked straight into the old lady's bedroom and extracted the small purse, wadded with ten ten- dollar bills, from her bureau drawer without, disturbing another thing. But not, Mildred! There remained only the peo- pie to whom might have given free whiffs at the store or - wait t s. And, suddenly, the whole mys- tery lay clear and I wished that the earth would swallow me and my sleuthing noddle. Jean! Jean had visited Mildred last night. Gone up to her room for a wrap. Jean loved that per- fume. Jeans friend, Harry, was in jail, held for bail, Jean knew her grandmother's house like her own.

Can you fancy Officer Donavan closing an eye till he'd followed a case to the finish? We'll. good-by to you. Sadie! And goodby to you. Mrs. Duffy!"
 I don't know what was in my mind by that time, but turned to Mrs. Duffy who sat very quiet in both her little old hands in mine.
 Well. dear," said. Happy. again?"
 That sweet old lady looked up at me. Her blinded eyes seemed to be trying to see again as they must have tried in those long ago days when the world had first been blot ted out to them. She sighed gently.

It all happened so quickly that I'm still not very sure what did happen. was dusting my counter the perfume counter in Maple hilps one big department store as have done six mornings a week for the last seven years. Before I'd quite finished the news came whis- pering through the store, from lip to lip, from counter to counter. Mrs. Duffy had been robbed!
 Mrs. Duffy was the most dearly beloved old lady in Maplehill, and she was blind. There was no one of usFwho did not feel chill of dis may down the backbone at thought of the outrage.
 Trade was slow that morning, so when Mildred Gary came in for a fresh supply of her characteristic perfume we had time to chat. Girls don't come any straighter and friendlier than Mifdred if she does live in the big white house on our famous maple hill and have the president of the bank for her father. always liked to wait on her. 1.1
 Half ounce of the usual, Sadie, pIease," she. said, dropping her bag and gloves on k the counter. Have you heard about Mrs Duffy ?s
 She began to tell me the story as she had heard it while reached down the square bottle of per- fume from the top shelf where l kepH 1t because it was quality and never used except when Mildred asked for -ih It was famous French brand. piquant and faintly lemony, and the price tag was too much for Maplehill.
 I corked the littel bottle care- fully as Mildred finished her story. "Any clews?" asked hungrily.
 "One-a plain white hanky--per- fumed, too. Donavan and O'Reilly are quite excited about it all. They're going to catch that thief if it takes them all summer"
 What does Jean think about it?" called after Mildred as she started down the aisle. Jean was Mrs. Duffy's granddaughter.
 T haven't seen her today. She stopped in last night to borrow a wrap. Big date with Harry. She did look sweet. I always think it's such a pity that Mrs. Duffy can't see her. Well, good-by," and she was gone.
 That Harry Burt you was talk ing about?" inquired the girl at cosmetics across the aisle. He's in jail, you know. Yes" as I ex- claimed, "got run in last night. Lost a good piece of money gam bling and there was fight"

THE spirit of freedom burned i'm
 the heart of the young Czech patriot. actor and poet. Josef Tyl. when in 1884 he composed the words to song that has become the national anthem of Czechoslo- vakia. Where Is My Homeland?" is the title.
 Tyl had written the words orig. finally for a light. patriotic play. which never made a success. But the music has made it the Czecho. slovakian hymn. Frantizek Jan Skroup composed the music. it Is said. at the bedside of his dying wife.
 Czechoslovakia celebrated the tooth anniversary of this song in 1894 by issuing stamp of two val ues. one shown here. and printing each in blocks of IS with the words and music of the opening bars of the song in the margin.

This is apparently the hydro ss: level for
the area, for efforts to bail own were
unavailing.
Rods and tubing were ordered out of
the National Supply at Kelvin Sunday night
but bad storm delayed their arrival in the
field so that they were not run until Wednes-
day. AS soon as pumping started the well
started to flow, as result of the agitation.
Sand and shale then clogged the ball in the
standing valve and the rods and tubing had
to be pulled and repairs made
There is no means of communication
with the well which is IS miles north of the
town of Chester and there has been no
subsequent report. H. Hamilton return
ed to the well Friday afternoon to learn
the result of the first 24-hour test He
decided not to swab the well because the
sand is so soft that swabbing might injure
rather than help, he said. He refused to
make any guess as to the probable produc-
ton.
we are satisfied that it is a good
commercial well, he said

Ellis sand, which horizon is expected to be
the gusher sand of this field. 1t was in
the Ellis sand that the terrific flow of gas
was found in the discovery well However,
he decided to produce the Cut Bank horizon.
Mr.. Hamilton announced Friday that
locations have been made for two more
wells to be drilled Immediately.

The oil is coming from the Cut Bank

not one drop of water, drillers declare, al

Oil Board
Didn't Die

The oil Conservation Board
OF Montana did not die with tbs
demise Of the N. r. A.
The last Legislature renewed
the life OF the board and the
measure was SO worded as TO
divorce 1t from the N. r. "A.
When first created, the board
was to have continued 50 long
as the N. r. A. was in effect
but the recent legislative act
made it q permanent institution.
This information Is received BY
the Journal from n. p. Jackson
secretary Of the board, who this
week issued the following comzmnnae
cation to the Montana oil industry
with regard to the recent nullifica-
ton OF the N. R. A..
''One Of sfhe effects Of the recent

Poultry Corporation case Is to im-
mediately terminate any control OF

It does not affect the Connally law
