Boxing Tomorrow night is the
night. Madison Square Garden is
the place, and Clarence, the Red
Burman is the victim. On the 9th
er hand, though, Burman says he
will lick Joe Louis, but along with
all the experts we say he won't
last much over five rounds, if that
long. Jack Dempsey contends he
is backing Burman, who has a
weaving style similar to the old
Manassas Mauler, speed and a So
lid left hook that carries dyna-
mite. Louis goes into the ring for
the second time in his fight-a-
month campaign for 1941. This
match with Burman marks
Joe's 18th defense of his world
heavyweight championship, and
from all indications, the number
will prove un1ucky only to Red
Burman.
BASKETBALL - Without the
services of the Big Blind Bomb
er George Glamack, the first
quarter, Carolina lost to the Navy
last Saturday, but still appears to
be heading for another Southern
conference championship. To date
Glamack has scored over 300
points this season which alone
should make him All-American
again. Jefferson's boys cage
team should in all probability
have an undefeated season and
enter the Appalachian tourna-
ment as favorites. Coach Weaver
is to be commended upon build
ing this strong team up in one
season And as the season
nears the close, local fans are be-
ginning to pick players from the
nine teams in the county for the
Ashe all-star boys and girls
team. From preliminary survey
and records of the games played
to date, r. C. Miller, of West
jefferson, Parks Coward and
John Weaver, of Jefferson, stand
an excellent chance of making
the team. And incidentally, all
coaches will be asked in the next
few weeks to vote on the boy and
girl showing the most sportsman
ship during the season. Medals
will be awarded the best sports.
! FOOTBALL-Right here in the
midst of winter sports, football
publicity continues to pop up.
Last week Coach Ray Wolfe of
carolina signed another five-year
contract to the delight of Tar
Heel followers. Next fall,
Tennessee hopes to get revenge
for the Sugar Bowl defeat of
January first. For on November
18th the Vols will play Boston

ALASKA AIDS 70 NAVIGATOR HIT
 BY RIFLE SHOTS
Coast Guard Commander Appeals fo People 10
 Respect Buoys

The following announcement is made by r A. Zeusler, Comman- der of the Ketchikan District of the U. s. Coast Guard:
 Along the coast and in the navi- gable waters of the U. S. and it's territories the government main- tains a series of aids to safeguard navigators. These are under the control of the Coast Guard. They consist of lighthouses, lightShipS, unwatched lights, lighted and un- lighted buoys, beacons, daymarkS and radiobeacons. They are placed 5o mark the most dangerous of spots and navigators have come to place their faith in them and the emoval or destruction of any aid without warning being given may wreck a vessel and cause the loss of life.
 Alaska is a large country. It has approximately 26000 miles of shore tine and there are many rocks,
 hoals, inlets, bays, etc. that ha Je to be marked. The Government maintains two seagoing tenders, the Hemlock and the Cedar, and a aarbor tender, the Alder, for the maintenance Of some 1000 aids now n existence. Approximately S2 more have been authorized to De established.
 The work IS a difficult and hazardous duty. The tenders must be constantly on the alert. Buoys are affected By wind and current unwatched lights by wind and weather and hence during the win ter months additional trips must be made to take care of the ex- tinguished lights and lost buoys.
 During the past six months an- other factor has entered the pie ture that causes the Coast Guard much concern. Careless or deliber- ate firing of rifles at aids to navi- eation has caused serious damage to some of them in these waters Two large lighted sea buoys have had their lens cracked and the projectiles found in the lantern housings, four nun buoys have been punctured by rifle fire, one buoy containing 25 holes, three unat- tended lights have been shot out by rifle fire and some daymarks have been riddled by persons in their illegal target practice.
 The Coast Guard appeals to the people of Alaska to aid in main taining these aids. No doubt the individuals responsible are careless and do not appreciate the signifi- canoe of their acts but continua ton may mean loss of life. Anyone who carelessly or deliberately de- stroys an aid to navigation and does not report it is potential murderer Attention is invited to the penalties which range from a fine to possible life imprisonment It should be remembered that the buoys, lights and daymarks are put there for your protection in travelling by water and also to a certain extent by air.

CHAPTER XIII

As JEFF Brand rode back into the
hills his mind brooded over the sug-
gestion let fall by Ellen. He never
had liked Turley. But the fellows
animosity toward the big ranches
had shielded him from suspicion
JEFF tried to think back to the
times when the killings were done.
He was sure that Turley had not
been with him at any of the Pc
RODS when the assassinationS must
have taken place. Little things be-
gan to fit together. Jack owned
1910 Winchester, the weapon used
by the killer. That In itself was
nothing. Brand could name dozen
men who had one. It only showed
he had the weapon handy. Turley
had a habit of occasional absence.
The boys had joshed him about 1t,
limiting at an unknown woman, and
he had smiled wisely, IN effect plead
ing guilty to the indictment. More
over, he was a comparatively new
settler in the district. He could cas-
lily have been planted by the big out
fits as detective.
When JEFF rode up to the cabin on
Turkeys claim he found two other
men there with the homesteader.
One was Dave Morgan and the 9TH
er Bill Herriott.
Whats new" Bill asked after
the first greetings
JEFF dropped the bride reins to
the ground. "a heap of things" he
drawled. You'll be surprised. First
off, the Diamond Reverse B is quit
tin business. SeIlin' out lock, stock,
and barrel"
''Who to-" Herriott inquired.
ITO Tom, Dick, and Harry. The
big boss is on from Boston or some
where. He was at the Box IS with
Terry, and he told the Careys they

was cutting it up into small tracts
to be offered for sale"
Brand then spilled his next piece
of news.
This guy from Boston had copy
of the Denver Republican with him.
There was piece in it about big
bunch of Texas warriors all gar
nished with guns ready to take off
somewheres to clean out rustlerS.
Clint Ellison was seen with them"
Jeff's eyes had not lifted from Tur-
ley as he told this bit of news.
You think they are headin' this
way?" Morgan asked.
81 wouldn't know. Do yore own
fgurin'." Brands hard, shallow eyes
still held fast to Turley. What
would you say, Jack?"
Turley was disturbed by the stead
mess of that regard. ''Why, I
wouldn't know, JEFF. Chances are
there's nothing to it. It doesn't sound
anyways reasonable. But maybe
I'm wrong. What's your idea?"
81 haven't made up my mind for
sure. Thought I'd wait till heard
from you"
From me?" Turkeys startled
face showed more than astonish-
ment. why, how would I known"
81 expect you know lot we don't,
Jack" jeff answered, his voice ON
inously gentle. He pulled piece Of
paper from his pocket and handed it
to Herriott. Take a look at that,
Bill, and pass it on to Dave. It was
found pinned on Black Yeager's
coat. The gent who killed him left
a sample of his handwriting. I don't
reckon you recognize it,
Herriott frowned down at. the pa
per, shook his head, and passed it
to Morgan.
Morgan said, Cant prove thing
by me-" and passed the slip to Tur-
ley.
AS Turley looked at it, a gray
green pallor spread over his
swarthy face.
st don't know who
wrote It." he mumbled, and looked
at Brand, despair in his eyes.
ST do" Jef's voice rang out crisp
and hard. We've found the killer,
boys. He's standing there with the
paper In his hand that he left on
Yeager's coat.
mo no. It's not true" Tur-
ley gulped down his terror, to fight
back.
Watching the trapped mans fear
filed face, Morgan realized that JEFF
had found the guilty man.
Better talk, Turley," he advised
oninously. Talk fast, If you don't
want us to believe jeff"
while he is talking you and Bill
search the cabin, Dave. You might
find money. A lot Of it. He's been
playing poor. Let's get wise about
that"
From a chalk-drv throat Turley
offered an explanation. MY folks

shoes-she adores children, and her
father still sends her. an occasional
check.
Advice Not Wanted.
81 would gladly keep house for
her and her friends-that is, decent
friends, but they don't want that.
No advice, suggestions, warnings
from an older woman for theml
Sometimes they don't make up their
beds at all; Bee sleeps on a couch
In the sitting room, so when men
come In to drink beer and smoke
up the place she can't go to bed,
and when she does go, the room is
absolutely foul
"She brings me candy and books,
kisses me, says she loves me. But
it seems to me strange kind of
love that doesn't take obedience and
respect into consideration, and a
strange world when a girl that age
can break away from the guidance
of home. It has made me nervous
and brooding, this knowledge that
my own child prefers the society of
others, and I seem to have dropped
most of my own interests and to
have lost hold on life because of it.
I had always thought that when her
schooling ended she would be at
home for a year or two and then
marry; I feel my life and myself
failure, and am wondering if YOU
know of similar cases, and whether
there is any cure, and where the
fault ies?"
She signs It Deserted Mother"
Yes, Of course there are similar
cases, Deserted Mother, thousands
OF them. In these days girls flock
to our cities, even from the most
luxurious and pleasant of homes,
coop themselves up in small apart
ment, eat In cheap restaurants, run
about ir the rains of winter and the
soaking heats of summer perfectly
convinced that the change is royalty
worth while.
Winning Her Back.
Your Beatrice is only claiming the
right that has always been her
brothers the right to feel her own
feet under her, and to carry her
own share of LIES responsibilities.
II she has had the right home train
ing, If she has a code, however
broad, she'll come back.
Not back home, not to be ques-
toned, criticized, managed any
more. But back into your heart,
through her wifehood, her mother
hood, her growing up to meet the
problems about which you've been
telling her, and the failures and
humiliations from which even your
love can save her. Occupy your
self with an equal independence
meanwhile, get interested in some
thing that viii make you interesting
to her; stop reproaching, brooding,
regretting. In that way, and only
IN that way, VIII you win her back.
You and I would have done much
the same back IN the Gay Nineties
had not it been considered as a
declaration of complete immortality.
Boys sowed all the wild oats IN
those days, and girls had to work
hard to keep the boys at home nights,
and usually failed IN their mild Of
fers OF pencil games or candy pulls.
Often our brothers, who wandered
of with such independence after
dinner, merely strolled about,
watched billiards or bowling, and
came home. Harmless as It was il
was independence, and how sweet
liberty IS to US all!
