Digger the Badger crawled out
from under q little brush on the
edge OF the Green Meadows. It
was very early in the morning, 20
early that no one was astir but
Old Mother West Wind. Digger
watched her coming down from the
Purple Hills with her big bag over
her shoulder and wondered what
she could be carrying in it.
Digger had reached the Green
Meadows only the night before. He
had come all the way from the
Great West, and that Is the reason
hi had slept under the little brush.
You. see he was I stranger there

If South had been content to
pass East's four-diamond bid. West
would have passed. also, whereupon
East would have gone down one at
his contract As 1t was, South, with
out an opening bid, gave his partner
raise, and then, when he was
doubled. ran back to his own six
card suit.
The slaughter was terrific. West
opened small club. East won with
the ace and played the five Of
hearts, South finessing the jack.
West won with the king, cashed
his king Of clubs and now led a heart,
which East trumped. East cashed
the queen of clubs and ace of dia-.
monds and led another diamond
Declarer trumped with the 10 Of
spades, but West overtrumped and
played the nine. Now the best de-
clarer could do was to salvage three

 Business Brings New Promotion"

The Juneau Postoffice, first in Alaska to attain second class rat ing, will become first class Post office on July 1.
 Based upon the volume of postal receipts, the new rating will mean higher salaries for local Postal of ficials, more help on the Postoffice staff and better service to patrons.
 Since Postmaster Albert Vile en- tered office January IT, 1885, each succeeding year has seen the Ju- neau Postoffice do a greater volume of business, until last year the to- tai was in excess of $52,00 on gross receipts from stamp sales, box rem tai and periodical rates.
 Second Class 27 Years
 Second class rating was attained July 1, 1913 At that time the Post office was located on Front Street in the present location of the Mo Caul Motors garage. The Postmas- ter was the late E. L. Hunter. At present there are four other sec ond class Postoffices in Alaska.
 In 1914 the Postoffice moved to Third Street between Seward and Main. Mrs. Lottie Spickett was Postmaster. In 1892 the move was made into the Federal Building.

 Greater Germany, with th e countries under it's thumb today, according to best guesses, is able to get hold of more than 8,000.0 900 tons of oil products annually.
 Synthetic oil products alone will be produced in Germany this year to the tune of 100000 tons and the Reich already has commitments for l,500,000 tons from Rumania, where the price has risen from $l5 to $45 a ton since the war started

WASHINGTON, June I1.-Wash- ington has been pinching itself ever since the Nazi blitzkrieg start ed, trying to find out if it had been completely asleep during those months when the experts assured them that Germany couldn't last six months in a major war.
 Undoubte edly Great Britain, France and a lot of small neutrals have been wondering the same thing but they didn't need to pinch themselves. The Nazis walked them up to a living nightmare of bombs, and blood and burning death.
 But the nation that economic observers said couldn't last has been able to throw into lightning war resources which would burden the wealthiest country in the world.
 Fleets of huge tanks, armored with the most invulnerable steel, using six gallons of fuel to a mile, roll relentlessly across hundreds of miles from Germany to the sea. Thousands of great bombers, daily burning gas and oil by the thou sand tons, sweep devastation ahead of the tanks. Hundreds of thousands of well-fed, well-clothed, well-armed soldiers pour into the paths of death cut by the machines.
