lowed it to Pt. Alexander in a skiff. At Pt. Alexander he built log cab in. When they tore it down it took two men to take down the logs he had put up by himself. The only man I have really lost is Turnabout Mike. He disappeared about eight months ago without trace being found since. He may have jumped overheard or he may have stepped aboard friends boat and gone to sea. It does not worry me. I know wherever he is, he is where he wants to be.
 Observed st. Patrick's Day
 One of the most noted men of the North that died in the Home was Dan Callahan. All he brought with him from Fairbanks was his high silk hat and green shirt. Every St. Patrick's Day he donned the shirt. which was full of moth holes. and the hat, and dragged his paralyzed body to vantage point where he could sit in solitary splendor. I always braced him up on that day with a few stiff drinks to help him

Forty and Eight. The fun is re- served for those who have earned the right to play by hard work for the Legion.
 The Shock Trops of the Legion" as the Forty and Eight are called, led the Legion's attack on the problem of Child Welfare and still are carrying a substantial part of the burden of the Legion's Child Welfare work. Another contribu- ton of major importance to the success of The American Legion has been made by La Societe in Legion membership work. And among the many other activities is the seeking out in hospitals throughout the land of forgotten Veterans, irrespective

men, health fakers, and hamstrung writers. To believe MT Pitkins tripe would mean you would have to suf- fer until you are forty before life is worth living, We have to grow old If we live long enough, but for tunately the process is so slow that it is not mentally noticeable. Most people are loath to admit that they lived too many years.
 l never have had an "Old Man" in the Home When they come they tell me they have pain in the chest or little rheumatism in the legs and that they expect to be as good as ever in four or five weeks. The way they get to the Home is like this. When the time comes that illness or age incapacitates them a friend says, You ought to go to the Home, Joe" And Joe taps him. self on the breast bone and says, ''Who me? Me go to the Home where all them old Jakes are-Say! I'm better man now than I was forty years ago?" When he slips some more, another friend tells him that the Home is place where they work miracles every day and that they specialize in making new men out of old ones. So he takes a chance and comes.
 Goat Glands vs. Old Crow
 So far we have been unable to find a way to give a man a new heart or young pair of legs, al- though about ten years ago they did have a doctor who went in for the goat gland treatment. He pre- dicted that in very short time he would have the Pioneers back in the hills leaping from crag to crag, from precipice to precipice. But Judging from the results it looked like the magic fluid was distilled out of the whiskers of the goats in- stead of the glands. The best phil ter I have discovered for putting new life in a man is couple of shots of Old Crow. However, be that as it may if man has anything to' go on it is remarkable how he res- ponds to good food and care. Most old men can be helped materially by proper medical treatment and by eliminating the worry of how and where they are going to live.
 AS far as I have been able to learn the Alaska Pioneers Home is one of the best equipped institu- tions in the United States for talk ing care of the aged It is place every Alaskan can be proud of. For the past year it has housed an av- craze of ITS men. The cost of oper ation and maintenance is approxi- mately $75,000 per annum. The total cost of the entire plant as it stands now is $343,000

The Pioneers are an honest, upright, and sincere body of men that fate has tricked little more than the rest of us.

No one knows what the future has in store for him. It is well enough to say Tt can't hap pen to me-" but if it does it is some thing to know that there is good place where man can rest before he embarks on the final journey Personally I have been in the Home for three years now, and do not have single complaint to make regarding it's operations and man. agement.

at SO Millions
International News Service

Mounting costs of the drought
relief program will necessitate a
shift in the new $1,425, ,000, 900
work-relief program and undoubt-
edly result in a call on Congress
for more funds, observers said to-
day.
Facing emergency employment
of $4,000 destitute farmers in ten
drought States, Works Progress
Administration faces an added
burden of spending $5,518,000 in
those States alone to provide work
relief jobs until spring, officials
said.
The Resettlement Administra-
tion, which already was aiding
$4,000 families in the northwestern
dry belt before the current drought
will have an added 10000 FAM
lilies on it's rolls, Acting WPA Ad-
ministrator Aubrey Williams es-
timated.
These families will require
grants averaging $40 month per
family. In addition, thousands Of
farmers are calling for ReSettle-
ment Administration seed loans
which average 5000 per farm
family.
Thus the Resettlement Admin.
istration faces a $36,500,00O bur.
den due to the drought. With
only $83, 100000 of the $1,425, 900
work relief appropriation allotted
to it, the Resettlement Admins
tration will have to curb it's pro-
