START TRIAL AGAIN IN THEATRE SUIT

JUNEAU - Retrial began here recently ofa 4-year- r-old court bat tie between the Electric Research Products Company and w. D. Gross, in the district court of Judge George F. Alexander.
 In 1885, Gross was given a court judgement of approximate ly $60,000 for alleged loss of bus ness and inconvenience following execution of a replevin action fl ed by the research company ir connection with theater sound and projection equipment pur- chased.
 Gross is said to have original. ly contracted for the purchase of the machinery without con- tract for weekly payments. Such contract is said to have been negotiated some time later for Gross theaters at Ketcnikan and Juneau, after which Gross, court records reveal, complained on the lack of weekly machine ser vice and refused payments on those grounds.
 The replevin action and a box office attachment followed, and Gross counter-sued in the dis trict court, received the $6O,000 judgement.
 The case was appealed to the circuit court in San Fr c .isco, and grounds for retrial were ruled, with the result that the case is in the district court again.
 Attorneys for Gross are F. H. Foster and Jack Hellenthal. New York attorneys Homer Breland and J. s. Ward are attorneys for the research company.

Two Kinds of Claims

It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim... If both a lode and placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and 8 lode claim.

tent themselves merely with &C.
knowledging the presents but paused
instead for q chat of several minutes
with Leah and Fred.
Newspaper men were not close
enough to hear what was said,
but Leah and Fred filled them in"
later.
1.-THE Queen said thank you,
won't you shake hands?' after I
gave her the flowers" Leah ex-
planned. ''She extended her left
hand and said with your left hand.
I did. CA Canadian newspaperman
with the party said this was the
British form for Scouts)
Then she asked how many
badges I had and I said there were
IS on this uniform. She asked
about one in particular. That Is
the book finder badge.
"She told me that her daughter
Elizabeth is working for her badges
and I didn't know anything else to
say SO I said I guess you must be
proud OF her."
At this juncture, one OF the inter-
viewers broke in to ask If Leah had
been scared" while she stood at the
side of the open car in which the
King and Queen sat.
"You were perfectly at ease," a
Scout leader suggested.
Noncommittal on "Stage Fright"
Leah, who had been the picture
OF composure while the interview
with her majesty was in progress,
refused however to commit herself.
She hesitated moment, then gave
an expressive well -"
The long wait on the sunny road
way had caused many of the Scouts
both girls and boys-to be over
come by heat, and as newsmen
thronged around Leah to get the
low down" Scout officials expressed
fear that she too might faint.
I'm too excited to faint" she
laughed, but did consent to move
from sun-swept knoll to the Shade
Of nearby trees for the press session.
King George listened attentively
as the Queen and Leah (who in
sisted, incidentally, that newsmen
get that III" on her nance talked
about Scout affairs, smilingly put
ting in a word now and then.
The Queens particular interest in
scouting lies in the fact that she is
mistress of a Scotch Girl Guide
group which corresponds to the Girl
Scouts.
Fred Approaches With Gift.
As the Queen turned away when
Fred approached the car from the
other side, Leah curtsied gracefully,
and then stood with her right hand
raised in the Scout salute as young
Carl made the presentation to the
King.

to U.S."
He told newspapermen afterwards
that the King thanked him and ask
ed how long he had been In scout
ing. Fred answered six and a half
years.
The King then asked his rank,
and Fred told him he was an Eagle
Scout and assistant scoutmaster Of
his troop
Il also told him." Fred said, that
I've had the time of my life in
scouting"
The King then asked about the
rs merit badges Fred wore, and was
informed they represented various
achievements in scouting.
AS the King and Fred ended their
conversation with a handshake, the
car carrying their majesties pulled
away, the King saluting and the
Queen waving in response to the
cheers that sped them on.

For nearly an hour, Girl Scouts in

massed around their brilliant stand
ards in the South grounds OF the

King George, former Boy Scout,
now is patron of scouting through

scroll which he received came from

It read:
I'VE are indebted to Lord Baden
Powell OF Gilwell, who in 1908 gave

was the good turn Of an unknown
British Boy Scout to an American
travelingman which resulted in the
organization Of the movement in

jamborees and other Scout gather
ings. We wish to express to your
majesties our appreciation of the
stimulus that has been given to
scouting and the youth of the
world by the interest and encourage
ment which you have shown on so
many occasions. 1t is our sincere
hope that through the years this
spirit of scouting may strengthen
and increase the good will between
our two great nations"

MASTER
CONVICTIONS
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

What a hurried age is ours
Multiplicity of duties keeps us
rushing from morning until night
Who has time to climb the noun
tain of meditation? Is it not this
very hurriedness that rushes us
past the vision-giving mountains
and on down into the lowlands
swamps and quicksands of sin and
disaster?
Did not the old Prophet speak
the truth when he declared: :"Where
there is no vision the people per-
ish? AS his word perish" i'm
plies, the rushing age of today is
letting down the bars of restraint.
Where we once had black and
white, purity and impurity, hon.
esty and dishonesty, we are now
coming to have gray, gray in var
ious shades, -grayi
If there is anything that is need
ed today it is to have these great
master convictions that are born,
nourished and matured by pro-
longed study in the Word of God.
These convictions are the founda-
tion stones for both men and ma
tions.
Why did Moses dare to forsake
the wealth of Egypt and accept the
affections of Israel? Why did
Daniel dare to descend calmly into
the dark cave of roaring lions :?
Was it not because they We're NOV
ed by great master convictions
which were of greater value than
life itself?
Men live radiantly when they are
established upon and protected by
great master-convictions that have
been quarried out of the Word of
God.

POTASH FOR FERTILIZER
Shipments From France VIII C9n-
tinue Despite War Conditions

Despite war in Europe, the
American fertilizer industry will
continue to receive large shipments
of potash from France at the same
pre-war low prices, according to
Mr.. Jean LeCornec, former Direc-
tor General of the selling organiza-
tion of the French Potash Mines,
who recently arrived in New York
from Paris by way of Lisbon, Por-
tugal, and the Atlantic Clipper of
the Pan American Airways. :
Mr.. LeCornec said: French pot
ash producers are continuing to
furnish potash to the American
market at the same low prices de-
spite greatly increased transporta-
tion costs within France, shortage
of labor due to the war, higher
ocean freight rates and war insur-
ance."
Heavy shipments of French pot
ash salts have been purchased by
French Potash Company, Inc, 80
Rockefeller Plaza, New York and
will arrive at Atlantic and Gulf
ports in the early future for deliv-
very to American fertilizer manu-
facturers. A number of cargoes
are now enroute.
"Ships, which carry large sup
plies of American agricultural and
industrial products to France, bring
back cargoes of French potash, es-
sential in the manufacture of fer
tilizer for American farmers" con-
tinued Mr.. LeCornec. THE French
potash deposits are some of the
richest in the world, containing
enough to supply the needs of the
world for hundreds of years"
On his visit to New York, Mr..
LeCornec is accompanied by his 10
year-old daughter, Yannick, one Of

A Bible Citation from the lesson
sermon: 1 John 1:3. and Thess. s.:

and heard declare we unto you,
that We also may have fellowship
with us: and truly our fellowship is
with the Father, and with his Son
Jesus Christ: 1 Thess. 5:19. Quench
not the Spirit. 20. Despise not

hold fast that which is good. Cor
relative from the Textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Christian Science reveals incontro-
vertibly that Mind is All-in-all,
that the only realities are the di-
vine Mind and idea. This great
fact is not. however, seen to be
supported by sensible evidence, un-
til its divine Principle is demon
strated by healing the sick and
thus proved absolute and divine.
This proof once seen, no other con-
clusion can be reached.
