MARY JOYCE
 AT BURWASH;
 WEATHER BAD
Dog-Musher Forced to Hug Shore of Klaune Lake
 Weather Cold

In spite of adverse weather, Mary Joyce, enroute to Fairbanks by dog-team from her home at Taku. "mushed" into Burw a h Landing on Kluane Lake at ? o'clock this afternoon.
 According to radio reports from the PA operator at BurW s h Landing to Bob Ellis, local PAA representative, it was hardly day for travel. The thermometer reg istered a temperature of IT de- grees below zero with stiff north west wind sweeping the lake. Miss Joyce was accompanied from White horse to Burwash by Mrs. Eugene Jacquot, and the travellers were forced to hug the shore line of the lake practically all the way from Kllane, a small settlement at the head of Kluane Lake, to Burwasil Landing
 In Ccod Health
 Miss Joyce reported both herself and dog in good health and the best of spirits. After a short rest of a day or two she will resume her journey to Fairbanks.
 The next leg of her thousand-mile trip, from Burwash Landing to Tan- ana Crossing, promises to be the most strenuous and hazardous of the en- tire journey. Throughout the 300 miles between those two points she will have none of the comforts of roadhouses, and trails will be few and far between. The region to be reversed is sparsely settled-con- taining no human habitations aside from a few trappers' cabins-but Miss Joyce has secured the services of competent Indian guide, and ex- poets to reach Panama Crossing in about three weeks.
 To Attend Big Event
 Miss Joyce expects to arrive n Fairbanks in time to attend the ice Carnival--to be held on March 6, !, and g. From her next objective, Tan ana Crossing to Fairbanks. she will have the advantage of broken trails and roadhouse comforts. She left her icme-the Twin Glaciers Lodge raku on December 20 with a team of five dogs Unofficial reports from )Cints along the trail she has tfav- eled indicate that Miss Joyce is plenty tough" and will reach her ultimate destination on schedule.

Sandwich Maneuver Com pletely Baffles Defending
 Forces, But Wins Them

Overcoming the sentry with choc- olate cake, members of the American Legion Auxiliary advanced on the Dugout last night in a surprise at- tack, and took over the position wi,n- out struggle. Laying down a we'll planned barrage of sandwiches-. chicken, ham, tuna fish, cheese and other kinds too numerous to men, tion-and cake-chocolate nut goo ey, all good-the Auxiliary so con- pletely upset Commander E. M. Pol ley and his defending forces that the best they could do was counter wioh couple feeble volleys of coffee.
 The event was in the nature of a welcome home to Commander Pol ley, who has been on an extended trip east, but it also served a noble purpose in revealing to the wives that the husbands really went where they said they were going last night.
 Attractive Invaders
 With food, the answer to the agon- izing cry of every "soldat" from time immemorial, spread on the long tables. the evening became a com- plete success, winding up with sing ing, dancing and a universally en- joyable occasion. Mrs. John H. New man, commander of the invading forces, and her attractive company. are to be complimented on the suc- cess of their maneuver which won them standing and royal welcome from the defending Legionnaires.
 Business of the Legion last night was confined to an interesting report by Commander Policy of his trip, with Mrs. Policy, to Boston, Wash ington and other places of interest. Jay P. Williams and Leo Jewett of the Juneau Rifle and Pistol Club ap- peared before the post with an in- vitation to the Legion men to take part in the shooting game here. MT. Williams explained the purpose and activities of the Rifle Club and told what it hoped to accomplish in the community

TO MY FELLOW CITIZENS
OF THE FIRST CON-
GRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT OF ILLINOIS:
Congressman Mitchell Speaks
For President Roosevelt.
''It now becomes my pleas
ure and privilege to say a few
words to you about Novem-
Der 3rd : the day on which
we make our future for some
time to come in this great
country which we love. Your
Congressman has been almost
unmindful of his own cam
paign, because of the import
ance to all of us in securing
the reelection of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. My S n C e r e
thoughts have been wrapped
around our President, because
L know and you know what
he has done and what he is
doing for America.
You have read many things
in the papers = papers that
are unfriendly to him, of what
he has done, but you have
not read where HE DID NOT
Do. He took office to act for
humanity and he acted to the
good of all. After reading all
these fairy tales about him
and about what he has done
wrong, in fact, when you sum
up all of the faults attributed
to President Roosevelt, here
is what you will find-finally j;
that he did not appoint GER
tain men to office in his cabi-
net; that he did not stand by
and wonder when he saw hu-
mainly suffering = waiting
for someone to tell him what
to do; that he did not seek
the advice of t h o S e who
thought they ought to be con-
suited; that he was President
in f a C t and not in theory.
These are the things he did
wrong, the enemy say. Now
take look at the other side.
and you will find that these
same critics are there finding
fault and when it is all boiled
down, it amounts to this: that
President Roosevelt has been
too free in comforting his
family.
America, His Family
America is his familv-the
people of this vast country
elected him and adopted him
in November. 1882, as their
father and he has had the
courage and backbone to see
to it that none of hi~ family
suffered, if it were in his pow
er to prevent it. Therefore, his
disgruntled critics say that
he spent too much money on
his family. In other words,
they say that he should have

he listened to their cry and
helped them by spending and
will spend until their needs
are met.
What did he spend and on
whom and for what did he
spend? This is the answer
that his critics hate to face:
He spent AMERICAN MON
Ely ON AMERICANS: HE
SPENT AMERICAN MONEY!
IN AMERICA FOR AMERI-
CANS GOOD. Whose money
is it, that he spent? 1t was
American money. all things
money and everything else in
America belongs to Ameri-
cans and that is where the
money is now. It never left
America.
The money is still here.
Had he spent it abroad, then
the critics would have said
that he spent American mon
ey abroad while Americans
at home were suffering. He
did not do that. He g " g
America to Americans; h
spent America in America and
that being true and undisput-
ed, the money that was spent
and to be spent is and will be
in America. No one dares try
to show you that one penny OF
the money spent ever left his
AMERICAN FAMILY.
