HOSEA TELLS OF GODS
FORGIVING LOVE
Hosea 6, II, IA.

Printed Text, Hos. 6:1-7; 14:4-9.
Golden Text: If we confess our sins
ne Is faithful and righteous to for
give us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness / John l:y
Hosea 81. Come, and let us return.
unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and
ne will heal us; he hath smitten, and
ne will bind us UP.
2 After two days will he revive
US; on the third day he will raise us
up, and we shall live before him.
3. And let US know, let us follow
on to know Jehovah; his going forth
Is sure as the morning; and he will
come unto us as the rain as the latter
rain that watereth the earth.
4. o Ephraim, what shall dc
unto thee? o Judah, what shall | do
unto thee? for your goodness is as
morning cloud, and as the dew that
goeth early away.
5. Therefore have l hewed them
by the prophets; / have slain them
by the words of my mouth; and thy
judgments are as the light that goet
forth.
6. For l desire goodness, and not
sacrifice; and the knowledge of God
more than burnt-oferings.

Ever since the first breath Of
spring has been In the afr, I have
been receiving letters asking how to
have a clear smooth skin for spring
and summer. What few of you seem
to realize Is that a beautiful skin
starts from within. You must get
yourselves in good physical condi-
ton Ii you hope to glow with youth
and beauty and springtime fresh
ness.
Get More Sleep and Exercise
The first step in getting ready for
Bpring and summer Is to work out
a balanced routine Of sleep, exer-
else and diet. If you have been
burning the candle at both ends,
you are probably paying for 1t now
with dull, lusterless eyes and sallow
skin. Remember that eight hours
sleep every night is more effective
than any beauty treatment. And if
you have difficulty getting to sleep
early, the solution is right at hand.
You probably need more outdoor
exercise that will leave you pleas
antly relaxed and BEAUTIFULLY tired
ut the end of the day. A brisk walk,
say to and from work, or, If you are
. lady Of leisure, the early part of
these sunny afternoons, is one of
the best forms Of exercise for all
around reconditioning. Don't feel,
however, that you can give up your
special indoor exercises. Select the
ones that do you the most good
according to your individual re-
quirements and stick to them.
Fat Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
And watch your diet. Through
cut the winter you have doubtless
been eating more than your quota
u heavy starch foods. Now that
spring Is here, there is an abun-
dance Of fresh fruits and vegetables
on the market. Why not try eat
ing a spring salad for lunch instead
OF sandwiches or meat and pota-
toesf You'll find 1t just as sustain
ing and great deal better for your
health. And be sure you have a
substantial helping of green vege-

ANOTHER SPORTSMAN

Last Thursday morning a steamer cruised through Olga Straits near Sitka, the passengers aboard entertained by the sight Of young deer swimming in the channel. The ship passed within 50 yards of the swimming animal which gazed up at this strange but not unfriendly water monster crossing it's path. Ears perked as she swan along minding her own business the doe was fol- lowing whatever instinct possesses her kind and tells her that the next island must be more friendly and carpeted with greener pastures
 When the ship came abreast of the swimming animal someone the bridge deck started shoot ing The first shot landed two feet from the ani- malls head directly in line with the swimming deer and the sportsman" About face, and the deer started swimming desperately for the shelter of the timbered shorelne. Four five more shots landed within few feet of the animal as she swan away from this unfriendly beast that sailed along the channel The last shot was fired when the ship was about 200 yards past her and passengers breathed again as they saw that the deer apparently unhurt But those bullets landed close to the animal-dd one glance and wound her? Perhaps no one will ever know
 What for? Sport? Surely no of sanity and character could do such thing in the name of sport. What queer twist of the brain could so demoraize any mans instincts that he could need- lessly wastefuy, cruelty and in violation of at least four game regulations shoot at deer swimming the channel only because he poor shot, this quarterback sportsman failed to leave behind a dead animal or, even worse which would crawl painfully ashore and suffer to death from her wounds
 Alaskans find it difficult to suppress homicdal tendencies when something of this sort occurs Their sense Of decency and sportsmanship outraged, they can only curse Inc and hope he and not the animal he fired at, will come to bad end

SHOCKING

Wear and tear on the emotions of those who lived through the most recent Southern California earthquake must have been indeed. Try to
 imagine yourself in their state of mind. For months they had been reading in the newspapers how Eu- rope was falling to pieces in war Most of the news to Americans has been bad news. A week ago the shock of the Lowlands invasion had an appre- ciable effect on the daily lives of all of us. Then suddenly the very walls around these people of the Imperial Valley began to termble and fall It must have seemed like the end of the world the first of doom. Now the earthquake is over, as the war will be some day. But while they last, these quakes of earth or war are almost too much for man to comprehend and cope with.

Churchill at the Helm
Cincinnati Enquirer


 With unaccustomed speed Great Britain re- constructed her cabinet bringing to the top the man who better thai any other Briton symbolizeS Brains will to fight through to the end with every ounce of energy Winston Churchill brilliant and merc,ria master of words and yet man of action, is the British peoples blunt to the new Ger man bid for victory.
 Churchill is not only an impatient, treleSs leader He has also imaginative mind for strategy in it's broadest sense. England rarely rewards her scintiating minds with the highest public offices. They are reserved for solid reliable representative Engishmen who will make all Englishmen feel comfortable
 and solid men are put aside for leaders whose per- ceptions are sharper, whose reactions quicker, and whose readiness to take risks is greater. So they chose Lloyd George to head coalition cabinet through the first World War. And they have chosen Churchill to lead them in the second
 This is a grave time for England, for the blitz- krieg which is despoiling the cities of the Low Countries is in reality the spearhead of a thrust against the British Isles, rather than against France The shape of things to is beyond forecasting But at least know that England has made swiftly and smoothly a crucial transition.
 It is a transition from party rule to coalition rule by all parties and from leadership by cautious and discredited to leadership by dynamic and grimly determined man who has studied the art of war from his teens and practiced it from the turn of the century.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, MAY p

This is an unimportant day in planetary direction. Adverse as poets appear to rule. It is a good time for routine matters and should not be employed for important acts or decisions.
 Heart and Home: The morning hours should be favorable for girls who are interested in romance, but it is more promising for intellec- tual than for sentimental inter ests. There is a good sign for new acquaintances of opposite sex. Housewives should find the day conducive to shopping. Fashions will tend toward severe attire for pub lie work.
 Business Affairs: This is day for cautious procedure in important enterprises. It is not fortunate for conferences with bankers and not encouraging for those who seek loans. General prosperity will dis tinguish the summer in which per- sons with foresight will be cauti- ous to avoid future obligations.
 International Affairs: In the Eu- ropean war surprising trade rela- tions and other alignments are foreSeen. Bolshevism, which h s Uranus as the ruling planet will continue to attempt world conquest Effects of the conjunction of Mars and Uranus will be more and more evident as rapid development of totalitarian ambitions is demon- strated. The need of wise diplom- acy and statesmanship if the Unit ed States is to avoid becoming in- volved in the conflict will be ap- parent as never before in the na- tion's history the seers prophecy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year when personal interests should be con- ducted with unusual care. Friends will be helpful.
 Children born on this day may be impulsive, high-strung and en- ergetic. They may be restless and will find great happiness in travel.

dents of Gambell the farthest village of the island should be so moved by the plight of people in much fairer lands half world away that they should send relief fund to Europe through the Red Cross
 The Natives of Gambell not half dozen of whom have ever been even to the Alaska mainland collected S605O for the relief of suffering in Hol- land, Belgium and the Netherlands.
 It took lot of ivory carving to earn that sum The people of Gamben, probably the most primitive people in all America furnish an object lesson for the world On a bleak coast where life is a con- stant battle against nature, there are men and women who are sorry for the poor civilized people of Europe who by contrast have every advantage, but who are destroying one another for no real reason.

Policemen Take Tests
For Radio Operator

Eighteen members of the VIII.
mington police force last night
took examinations for the rating
of third class radio operator.
Mayor Thomas e. Cooper super
vised the examinations.
Officers who operate the trans
mitters in the radio patrol cars are
required under a recent ruling OF
the federal communications commits
sion, to hold third rate operators
permits and the examination was
thrown open to any other members
of the force who desired to take 1t.
Any man passing the test, how
ever, would be eligible to operate
the transmitter in police headquar-
tiers as we'll as the transmitters In
the radio patrol cars.
The examinations dealt mainly
with rules and regulations of the
federal communications commission
relative to the operation OF trans
mitters and the matter which may
go over them.
