Assistant Secretary of War Col. Louis Johnson, and Assistant Sec- retary of Commerce Col. J. Monroe Johnson, arrived at the PAA air port this afternoon, the Army Am- phibian plane landing at exactly 2::31 o'clock Juneau time.
 The plane made a nonstop flight from Seattle under generally per- feet weather conditions. Flying time from Seattle was hours and 45 minutes.
 Shortly after arrival weather checks were being made and there was a possibility the plane might take the air again and make the flight to Fairbanks.
 The two officials made it clear the present flight was one for survey and inspection.
 The Fairbanks proposed Army Air Base will be inspected. On the flight south the plane will fly over the proposed International Highway.
 Fairbanks Base
 Asked as to whether or not an air base for the Army would be built at Fairbanks, Assistant Secre- tary of War Louis Johnson said: : Congress has recommended a base in Alaska and that is what we are going to make a report on."
 The question put to Col. Louis Johnson, as to how big base such a field at Fairbanks would be, if established, answered, "A big base" The question as to "how big a base is a big base" was answered, When the Army builds base it builds first class base-big enough to handle any plane"
 Queried as to whether or not any other possible Army air base sites would be looked over on the aerial tour, Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson said, Well know better after we've seen the Fair banks possibilities"
 Official Trip
 Assistant Secretary of Commerce J. Monroe Johnson, accompanying the Assistant Secretary of War, is making the trip just as an official trip of inspection We'll stop only briefly in Fairbanks, fly down to Anchorage, and visit Chilkoot Bar racks at Haines. We'll return to the States over the route of the pro- posed International Highway

Righteousness. But now being
made free from sin, they become

fruit unto holiness, and the end

Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: The purpose and
motive to live Alright can be gain
ed now. This point won, you have
started as you should. Working
and praying with true motives,
your Father will open the way.
Who did hinder you, that ye
should not obey the truth p Rise

all that is unlike good God has
made man capable Of this, and
can vitiate the ability and

What startling events had crowd
ed in on Peter that morning! All
the night previous they had fished
but caught nothing. And then in
the morning came that marvellous
haul when the Stranger on the
beach had called out to them to
cast the net on the other side of
the ship.
Before the Christ again entered
behind the curtains of invisibility
He placed into the hand of Peter
the commission of Apostleship
But how was he to accomplish his
task in the face of an antogonistic
and hostile world?
And then somehow there came
to Peters mind the remembrance
of that net bursting with fish. In
that miraculous haul came the so
luton of his problem. His success
would be God-givenl
Ours to cast the net on the right
side of the will of God. His to fill
the net with success.
But how was Peter to be provid-
ed for as he gave himself fully to
his task? That breakfast was the
answer-and the promise! Christ
would providentially sustain his
every need as Peter gave himself
unreservedly to the task Of Apos-
tleship.
To us no less than to Peter has
been given the commission, "Ye
shall be my witnesses" Our task
too is well nigh impossible. But
we also have the promise of divine
aid and of divine sustenance along
the way. God will give us food
and shelter as we seek to serve
Him. Therefore, 60 labor on, thou
workman of God, Christ shall sup
ply thy every need to do His will
and work.

amount for the spray. If hydrat-
Cd lime is used, it should be mixed
into a very thin paste and added to
the copper sulfate solution in the
sprayer.
copper sulfate is often called
,eBluestone" and may be purchased
under that name. Quicklime or
hvdrated lime should be used. If
hvdrated lime is to be used, the
quantity should be half again as
large as for quicklime Tin the A

A small quantity Of Bordeaux
4-4-5O may be made by mixing 4
ounces of copper sulfate blue
stone) with 4 ounces of lime
(Ouicklime or ounces of hydrat-
ed Iime) and adding sufficient wat
er to make three gallons.
Copper-Lime Dust
The usual formula is a 20-80
dust. This means a dust made
from 20 pounds Of monohydrated
copper sulfate thoroughly mixed
with so pounds Of highgrade hy-
drafted lime. Calcium arsenate, 8
to 10 pounds, may be substituted
for the same amount of the by
drafted lime in the dust to kill the
Colorado potato beetle and other
leaf-feedign insects. To make so
pounds Of copper-lime calcium ar
senate dust use 10 pounds Of mono
hydrated copper sulfate, 80 pounds
of fresh hydrated lime and 8 to 10
pounds of calcium arsenate.
Fresh materials always should
be used in making insect control
dusts and sprays. Monohydrated
copper sulfate is nearly white
when it is fresh and turns a dark
blue when old. Dust should be
stored in tight, dry containers.
Dusts may be mixed thoroughly
if the ingredients are placed in a
small barrel, drum, keg or old bar
rel churn together with from 30 to
40 small stones, and the container
rolled about slowly for five or ten
minutes The dust should then be
poured through a "a to ~ inch
mesh screen to removed the stones,
then either used Immediately Or
packed ma tight, dry container.
