 Miss Matilda Hoist, with Mrs. Carol Beery Davis at the piano, gave two excellent vocal numbers which won warm applause from her audience. Miss Hoist, a Ju- neau girl, has been studying at Oregon State College, and shows great promise in the musical field.

 Condition, Barter Isle

A story of hardship, privation and, in some instances, actual star vation has reached Juneau from Capt. c. D. Peterson of the trading vessel Patterson from Herschel Is- land.
 In a radiogram to the Cover nor's office, Capt. Pedersen who has been trading on the Arctic Coast for 30 years, said many natives along the coast from Point Barrow to Barter Island are in distress due to lack of food. He found some people actually starving, he declar- ed, when he stopped particularly at Barter Island, settlement of about l50 persons.
 Reindeer on the Island, he said are only skin and bones and many have died. There is nothing for the Indians and Eskimos to eat be- cause of the shortage of reindeer and seal, their usual diet He urged the Government to send supple: immediately.
 Checking at once with U. s. Com missioner Frank Daugherty at Bar row, reply was received from thai official that if conditions had beer as bad along the Arctic Coast dur ing the winter as in Barrow it was very possible that terrific hard ship was being undergone by the inhabitants of the Arctic.
 Order Supplies
 Acting Gov. E. w. Griffin, on re- ceiving the report from Capt. Ped ersen, immediately ordered supplies placed aboard the steamer Yukon next Saturday at Seattle when she sails for the North, which will be transferred to the North Star and sent on into the Arctic.
 Capt. Pedersen is reported tc have some $20,000 worth of supplies aboard his vessel and these stores can be made available to those in actual want, it was pointed out.
 Indian Bureau officials were in- clined to discount the report of ac- tual starvation. Charles w. Hawkes.

Campaign Languis1,es

By BYRON PRICE (Chiet of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Politics is game of paradoxes and that perhaps accounts for the present comparative Hull in a cam paign which had promised to de- velop so furiously from the start
 Two months ago the two great parties were likely newly caged partners. Angry howls of impa- tience smote the welkin and whet- ted the anticipation of the bystand- CTS. It was remarked everywhere that things were warming up early and that real action might be ex- pected by July
 Then, after June surfeit of po- litical oratory in the conventions the growing subsided appreciably Organization work went on. oi course, and there were some mu- tually uncomplimentary exchang- es between the campaign manag- CTS. But the biggest guns held fire.
 MT. Landon, nominated by the Republicans, retired to the fast nesses of a mountain vacation re- treat from which he emerged in due course with an acceptance speech postponning detailed discus sion of the issues until later.
 MT Roosevelt, named by the Democrats. accepted at once in a speech leaving detailed issues for the future, and departed thereupon from American shores in a sailing ship, for vacation cruise in ob- scure northern waters.
 REAL ACTION AWAITS FALL
 Nor does the political forecast for August feature either typhoons or whirlpools.
 Governor Landon proposes a chicken-dinner homecoming to his ancestral home in Pennsylvania coupled with a weekend, perhaps at favorite summer resort in up- state New York.
 President Roosevelt plans to gc out into the west but not, he says for any intnensive spellbinding. He means to inspect the dried-up corn fields and the bare pastures in the drought belt.

CHAPTER VII

A man-friend telephoned to ask
her if the tale were true? He add
ed that he had called Henry's office,
and had been informed that Henry
was not there. Henry's secretary
was extremely vague as to his where
aboutS.
Had he run out on her? wondered
Julie nervously.
The office would yield her no in
formation, either. She lunched in her
own apartment. Afterwards she
went to beauty parlor, and had her
hair and face and nails done. At five
o'clock she thought it might be good
thing to drop into her favorite
speak, laugh off the columnist's an
nouncement as an exaggeration and
quiet those Imminent marriage" ru-
Her friends crowded about her as
she entered, loud in their congratula-
tons, and asking where Henry was,
and why not with her.
Julie was in a dilemma. She
climbed on to high stool by the bar,
and accepted a glass of champagne.
But her uneasiness would not lift. It
hung on her like cloud.
She was relieved when she saw the
good-natured, broad face of Willie
Krass. He held an afternoon paper
in his hand. He came right up to
her. Close at hand she saw that he
looked concerned. He said, in a low
voice: "Say, Miss Julie, have you seen
this?"
"Seen WHAT" Another announce
ment of my marriage? Is that it,"
She faced him, smiling.
"Of a marriage, yes. But not
yours! Say, you better come over
here with me. I'll show it to you"
The crowd stayed at the bar, ig-
norant of the tragedy that was about
to be enacted.
Julie went to the furthermost lit
tie table in the small restaurant with
Willie. His pudgy hands fumbled
with the sheets. Then on page three

eighty-five dollars, darling!"
"Don't you realize that card-sharps
always permit people to win first,
and then trim them later?" asked
Henry grimly. 1t was the first lit
tie tiff they had. Virginia thought
him rather unreasonable.
