Burdette by a score of 8 to 2.
Mr.. Carl Rabe was a specta

was much issbpdinted with
the showing of the girls.
Donaldson and Payne, batter
les for the RABIES looked good
even in defeat. Donaldson left
the game with a. score 2 to l
in favor of Malashock, due to
slow fielding of Stewart and

at the Urban League Commun
ity Center numbers were drawn

fore the next meeting on May

Here's hoping this weather
CLEARS up and gives us a break

SPRING

The Alder by Tine river
Shakes out her powdery curls;
The willow buds in silver
For little boys and girls.
The little birds fly over
And oh, how sweet they sing
To tell the happy children
That once again It's spring.
The gay green grass comes
creeping
The buttercups are coming
And scarlet eolumbine,
And in the sunny meadows
The dandelions shine.
And just as many daisies
As their soft hands can hold
The little ones may gather,
All fair in white and gold.
Here blooms the warm red clover
There peeps the violet blue;
Oh happy little children,
God made them all for you.

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do no. cOmpel'
SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1887

l SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1887 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. It is a time to pursue the pleasant things of life.
 Women are subject to the most kindly planetary influences which stimulate interest in the home and encourage artistic changes. This is an suspicious sway for early spring love affairs. We'd dings on this date should be fortu- nate, since steady progress is pre- saged towards the hearts de- sires.
 Shops should profit greatly, for lthere will be a keen interest in household furnishings as well as summer wardrobes while this rule of the stars continues.
 Keen interest in the arts will be manifest through the coming sum- mer when there will be vide spread inclination to turn away from the stern realities of a world in travail.
 The planetary government stim- Iulates enterprise in manufacturing Steel and iron interests will be prof itable. Shipbuilding as we'll as airplane building will be speeded.
 This is a fortunate direction of the stars under which to begin any project. It is lucky for building homes and business structures. The seers prophecy a summer of tremendous events in which the United States will be subject to em- barrassing international situations. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of much pleasure through recreations that appeal to the mind and the spirit. Courtships and happy holidays are forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fond of romance and travel Subjects of this sign may be intellectual to marked degree.
 Washington Irving, American au- thor was born on this day 1783. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Edward Everett Hale, clergyman and writer, 1922; Harriet Prescott Spofford, writer, 1885; John Burroughs, naturalist and writer, 1887.

HOME OWNERS ARE NOT SIT-DOWNERs

It is good news that Floyd Volk of the Columbia Lumber Company brings to Juneau in his talk before the Chamber of Commerce yesterday that lumber mills operating at near capacity in the Pacific Northwest and so swamped with orders that they are far behind in production.
 The great demand for lumber is attributed in major degree to the building boom that in evidence all the country. In a small way we see t here in Juneau where another of building activity is under way In Seattle MT Volk reports, there is more building than that city has enjoyed in ten years. The condition appears be universal through the country and the lumber predicts at least another three years of prosperous times in the n- dustry
 While natural forces of recovery play a part in the marked upturn toward building, there appears to be no doubt that the Federal Housing Administra- ton program is directly responsible for large share of the activity has revived again interest in home owning through it's long-term mortgage loans and facilities for starting the home on his way ln the first instance toward acquiring a place
 And in this connection, MT Vok brought out an interesting point: city of home not likely tc be city of sit-downers. he said
 There is the kernel of the general Administration policy toward betterng social conditions. The average citizen not going anything to deter program which is bettering his lot the lot of his family in daily life. Home owning does just that It sats- fies that desire in each of to something. We are by natural heritage nation of home In the early days of the nation virtually every built his own home and lived in it. In later years ss our population increased and the trek started toward the industrial centers, lop-sided financing made home owning an mpossibity for thousands. They couldn't, under the private financing methods, get start toward building home. Naturally there unrest. Living in flat in a large city with prospect of

ever acquiring bit of property for a home is not conducive to contentment.
 There is labor unrest today, MT. Volk pointed out but it will be noted that such trouble breaks out in the larger industrial centers where the very small minority own their own homes Rarely are there dis turbances in the smaller places where the bulk of the citizens their homes have prospects for owning them
 There is more than passing significance Tn the statement that a city of home-owners is not likely to be a city of sit-down strikers. Human nature is not so constituted that do foolhardy things which ieopardize homes and cur families. Sit-down strikes are the result of unhappy conditions Antag- onism built in many instances, years of privaton and failure to acquire any substantial permanent economic status Making home ownership possible to the masses of people is one excellent way of helping to remedy that condition No man. if he gets
 fair and decent living wage for his family, is going to st-down and let the roof go from over his head. We just are not constructed that way.

(New York -Telegram)

(NeW York World-Telegram)
 On April delegations from score of nations will meet in Washington to engage in fact-findlng conference preliminary to the international labor office meeting in Geneva this summer on a world forty -hour-week standard in the textile industry
 This meeting is significant in many ways. It is the first international gettogether in this country since the United States joined the I. L. o. in 1884
 world agreement to forts'-hour textile week. if lived LID to- would go far toward stabzing one of the most chaotic industries that the machine age has brought to the nations. Outside of America, only France Belgium and Italy are on the forty-hour tex tile week. while other countries work their mills forv-two to forty-eigh and in the Orient fifty to sixty hours Hence better world standard would benefit us for the reason that low wages and long hours in competing countries have all but wiped out our foreign trade in textiles
 Modern industry each year goes more and more on world basis Tariffs trade agreements ana other political expedents help the higher-standard countries for while but eventually and essentially the cheap labor countries get the business No in dustral country can long remain isolated from the world and prosper.
