She wants home where she entertain and mingle with kids her own age.
 So it is likely we will have ten Satkos with us for some time. We hope Juneau will not greet them with the gushing maudlin sentiment which they have come to expect along the way. They just another boatoad of people come to live among US.
 Paul Satko is beginning to learn about Alaska. At Ketchikan he and his family made several al- day trips looking for what story described as "a suitable homestead site for truck farming . Needless to say they didn't find They won't find one here either, for there is no such land in steep and tmbered Southeast Alaska.
 There's a lot about Alaska that is different than I expected" Satko commented For instance, didn't know there wasn't good farm land around Ketchikan"
 He will also be surprised at Juneau where he says he is going to get steady job to go along with his truck farming.
 At Juneau I understand there are about 1000 government people and steady mining payroll That makes other lines of work steady, a man can have steady job is the way he has sized up.
 We haven't anything against the Satkos. We hope they will be able to establish themselves as useful citizens. But we don't believe they the type of settlers Alaska needs and don't think the publicity they have been bringing Alaska is going to do it any good Above all not going down to the dock welcome them though they were the most wonderful thing that happened in these parts.
 That isn't Noah in that Ark; it's just Paul satko

A Nazi Mystery
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Dispatches from Germany tell us that immedi- ately after the armstice with France Reichsfuehrer Hitler gave thanks to God for granting Germany the victory This makes wonder what God it is that Hitler reveres and credits with the German triumph at arms.
 It could hardly be the God of the Old Testa- ment whose most favored children, the Jews, have been blasted out of their lvelihoods and their homes and harred for years by Htlers secret police. It could hardly be the God worshipped by the devout folk of Hitlers own traditional faith Roman Catho licism For Hitler has had priests and nuns framed on various reprehensible charges He has allowed the stoning of an Archbishops palace. He has vio- lated the Concordat with the Vatican repeatedly two Popes have bluntly charged.
 Certainly the God to whom Hitler offers thanks is not the God of the Evangelical Church, which has been despoed of it's prerogatveS whose brave pastors have been hunted down and jailed for their failure to embrace neo-Pagansm
 Perhaps Hitler's thanksgiving was directed to a strictly Teutonic God the sort of God which ancient Teuton myth postuated for the worship of rude warrior race in time when German forests were the haunts barbaric tribes. This would be satis- factory, may be sure, to the zeaots of Nazism who have abored ceaseleSsy to discred and destroy the religions of Judaism and Christianity and to raise anew the war gods of barbaric age.

THE SATKOS APPROACH

Within the next few days-wind weather, tide and hit-or-niss navigating permitting-Paul Satkos Ark of Juneau should be coming up Gastineau Chan mel to the port for which the strange craft named when it still gleam in the builders eye
 Since the family of nine left Tacoma some months ago it has had more publicity than it de- serves The Satkos come at least 50 years too late to be the dauntess pioneers the sob sisters would have you believe them to be- The Ark, foolish as were the principles of marine construction by which it put together, is probably not the frailest the worst craft which up the Inside Pas sage to Alaska The trip has been made before by rowboats and canoes Paul Satko's achievement in bringing the Ark through those sheltered waters is not brilliant one, anyone who has ever come to Alaska knows. Certainly the dangers of the voyage not such to justify Satko to boast when he reached Ketchikan: Well, they said couldn't make it and l did" If anyone had any doubts about the seaworthiness of the Ark those doubts concerned with its chances of crossing the Gulf of Alaska Satko said when he started out that he going to Cook Inlet. He might be able to get across the Gulf in calm weather In any sort of he wouldn't have chance If he persists in having a try at it. Juneau should do what Seattle attempted to do take the children away from him and let him try it alone.
 But it appears Paul Satko has changed his mind somewhere along the line. It is probable he will settle down at Juneau for the fall and winter ac- cording to interview he granted at Ketchikan. For thing, Mrs Satko is awaiting the arrival of another child momentarily suppose is only to be expected of a family which has nine hungry mouths to feed already.
 We have to settle down and have home before the baby is born" he explained at Ketchkan
 Because of all that trouble delaying us in Seat tlp he tn had understand there's better opportunity for farming around Cook Inlet. But it would be rough voyage and my wife is in condition to be bounced around
 Then, too, she and the children tired of being cooped up in the ark. It's too confining. The older children, particularly Hazel Is, don't like it.

 This is an unimpOrtant day il planetary direction. Women ar under benefic aspects. Adverse in fluences may be prevalent among Americans who may be inclined tt criticize men now serving the ma ton unselfishly.
 Heart and Home Women art under fortunate sway today Churches will benefit through re- vived interest in religion and ar anxiety among American citizens to contribute to the needs of theii fellow creatures. Heavy drain or all funds for charity and philan- thropies is indicated. Work on the part of kindly women is to assume tremendous proportions as the cler- gy inspire well-organized move mentS. Among ProteStantS there will be unity of action and coop eration with Catholics and Jews in the task of restoring a mad world to sanity.
 Business Affairs: Prosperous days will continue, it appears and heads of great corporations will lead in directing wise methods of giving aid to war victims. Unselfish serv- ice will add much to the fame of former high official in th c United States Government which will honor him in an unusual man. ner. Warning is given that men who carry public responsibilities will suffer in health. Nervous mala- dies will be prevalent among prom inent men and women.
 National Issues: Wholesale train ing of aviators will engage atten- tion of college management. Pre- paration for service to the country which is to be recognized as the greatest of powers, will be oi paramount importance. Young women will be needed in clerical positions in Government depart ments where high degree of ef- ficiency will be demanded. Old age pensions are to assume special significance.
 International Affairs: Mexico is to present problems for the Unit ed States to solve as communistiC agencies continue to work closely with their associates in this coun- try. A sensational incident vii show the network of plots in which our enemies are engaged. Califor- mia is to be discovered as the cen ter of certain hostile forces.

MONDAY, JULY g

Although this is an unimportant day in planetary direction it has special interest, for it affords op- portunity to take an inventory of ones plans and achievements. Sim ister portents presage a period of test for Americans as well as other inhabitants of the Earth.
 Heart and Home; In the family circle there should be close sym pathy and cooperation as members rejoice because they dwell in country of greatest blessings. Re- creations should be encouraged. Camping expeditions will be most fortunate in their influence on minds and bodies. The young are: to have many opportunities next year for important service abroad and should prepare for intensive training in their chosen professions or vacations. Older folk should cul- tivate a cheerful state of mind, despite depressing news from for eign nations.
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will be enjoyed in all parts of the Unit ed States where preparedness plans distribute employment and good pay to thousands. American skill will devise new machinery and new methods of warfare which will not be needed outside the United States but will prove effective in defense. Refugees will contribute scientific aid in certain inventions Wages in a number of trades will rise. Well- trained hands will be much needed.
 National Issues: Aviators will be in great demand for everyday travel as well as for national defense. Girls will prove their ability as pilots. Intensive effort will assure mass production of amazing volume in factories where airplanc5 and battleShipS are constructed. Sur prising developments will cause naval activity in the Pacific Ocean. The element of secrecy will be con- spicuous in war methods, but spies will be successful in preventing a major coup of widest menace.
 International Affairs: As machin- cry continues to destroy human life and valuable property, modern warfare will result in a barbarism long foretold. The destruction of many cities is to bring about

They were in such vogue that dis

Sondpoint Team
Wins Both Games

The snappy Ripke-Buck softball
team from Standpoint lived up to
their fine reputation last Sunday
afternoon when they cleaned up
two games with the Lions and the
Helphrey Motor Freight teams.
However the Standpoint team met
tough competition with the Lions in
the first game but only let one
hit out of the bag to the Lions
while collecting four of their own.
The Lions scored the first run in
the third inning when Olson walked
Ulrich, who later scored after the
centerfielder caught a hard hit
drive by Baker. The Standpoint
boys came back in the same inning
to tie the game when Olson got on
with single and Walter hit him in
to score Two successive errors in
the sixth inning gave Standpoint the
needed run to put the game on ice
and defeat the Lions 2 to /.
The Helphrey Motor Freight ten
started the scoring in the second
game when Siverson hit in Austin in
the second inning, but the Ripke-
Buck boys gathered momentum from
then on to roll up Ill victory
Both Of the local teams were short
several of their regular players or
it might have been a different story,
but these teams will have their
chance to prove themselves when
they play return games at Sand
point on Sunday, August ID.

Census Report Shows
Small Libby Growth

Census figures recently received
show that Libby is growing city
but is comparatively slow in growth
but not nearly as bad as Stevens
vile which has increased only by
five residents in the past ten years.
Libby, showing a 1910 population
of 1880 gained one half of one per
cent over the 1890 figure of 1,752.
With 1920 figure of 1922, Libby
was the only one of the four towns
of Troy, Darby and Stevensville to
show an increase in the decade
preceding 1890. Libby's population
figures do not include large sub
urban area that Is heavily pop
uIated.
Troy, moving from 498 in 1880 to
100 in 1910 increased by 58.6 per
cent in 10 years, although topping
the 1920 figure Of 763 only slightly
Darby recorded the largest per-
kentagE Of increase, 67-3 per cent
by jumping to ATT from 285 in the
decade. The 1920 population was
325.
Stevensville gained just five res
idents over 1880, the 1910 figure be-
ing 697 Stevensville's population
in 1920 was 744.
All the 1910 figures, Supervisor
Albert ]. Partoll pointed out, are
for the corporate limits of the town
only, are preliminary and are sub
ject to correction when checked at
the Washington, D. c., census head
quarters.

Brandt to Pitch For
Old Timers in Local Game

Those Libby fans who love the
national game and who enjoy see
ing the old horsehide in fast and
clever manipulation will have the
opportunity to see something good
next Sunday. The Old Timers of
Libby have agreed to take on at that
time the City of Libby team in a
game of hard baseball. And the
feature that ought to bring out an
unusual attendance is the promise
that Lefty" Brandt, former star of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, will pitch
for the Old Timers. Brandt was
one of the outstanding pitchers in
the major leagues for IL years. Local
fans will be glad to see him in action
here, inasmuch as he is now counted
as one of the loyal citizens of this
neighborhood.
The proceeds of the game will be
used to buy uniforms for the Amer
lean Legion junior baseball boys.
Admission will be the small sum
of Is cents and children will be
free.
Here is the lineup for the Old
Timers, who will try hard to put the
hoodoo on the City team.
