FRANTIC WEEKEND
COPYRIGHT. ieSa. NEA 8ERvlcg, iMc.

Tor not, it's easier loolxin' for needles in a haystack.
 And when you find 1t what do you get? A headache. You take lem from nothing, build 'em up. get 'em good stands, look after the press, keep the wolves of 'em and put their names in the big lights. You work the hair of your head to get 'em a four-hgure contract and you work for nothin' until you get chance at the gravy and what do you get for 1t? Grat- tude? Not on your life. Some rich guy runs away with lem and marries lem or they get a tem- perament and drive you crazy.
 "Now take this dame. She's got everything, even 8 red head, and that's hot right now, pair of legs and a voice that knocks 'em over. All the work I done on her com ing out with a bunch of contracts like flowers on cherry tree and what do I get?
 "she quits on me, quits on me, that's what she doesl Runs away and does she tell me where she's going? No, she does not. I burn the air with cables and l spend dough like it was dirt and what do I find? Shes just taking a weekend with bunch of hicks"
 What was that?" asked Myra darkly.
 Tn the sticks" said Baldy, cor- recting himself. "As if I couldn't have fixed weekend for her at some nice place if she wanted 8 rest. Some nice place where she could be seen around with a few of names that count, where I could fix few candid shots for the press boys, where I could get Johnny White chasing her making a play for that contract. And what about him. He loses the best contract of the season on the air If he doesn't get her. Is that fair? l ask you, is that fair?"
 But Myra was less interested ill Baldy's troubles with Fay than i1 whatever impression on him Peggy might have made. Her first problem was to keep that -brained youngster from carrying out what ever plot churned in her pretty head. Myra knew her too well to be- lieve that Peggy could be innocent of intrigue for a whole weekend among new people.

DANES ARE CHAzY"
CHAPTER XT

Low and grumbling were the mutt Eerings that stirred the quiet of the lounge room as Peggy and Myra sat outside on the veranda.
 Danes hmphl" growled the voice indignantly. Crazy. Plain crazy"
 Peggy jumped up, impatient to pursue her plans for the morning but she slowed her stride as she entered the room and her voice was casual and disinterested.
 "Something biting you, Baldy?' She popped a strip of bacon into her mouth and foraged at the side- board for another piece of toast.
 Don't call me Baldy," he groused. Squirt like you oughta De more respectful to her elders
 Sob danes are crazy" unused Peggy, dropping into the chair next to him.
 "They are. where's Fay?"
 Down by the lake I expect" said Peggy. What has she done now?"
 Tt ain't what's she done. It's what she's going to do that's got me worried. And if she don't make up her mind soon we'll miss that afternoon plane to New York"
 Peggy's eyes widened as she gazed at the little man.
 You're not going back so soon?"
 Listen, baby. Even five min ptes ago isn't soon enough for me-"
 "Gee!" said Peggy, her eyes Hmpid with what loked like dis appointment. Just when I was thinking we'd have really in- seresting man"
 Baldy Brien returned her gaze, completely unimpressed. "oh yeah?" he said.
 Peggy offered to help him in his search for Fay. He refused the offer but found that she had the persistence of mosquito. Not unlike one. Peggy was quite aware that every man has a vulnerable point somewhere.
 She showed him the way to the lake and found Nigel disconsolate- ly lying in the sun on the wharf.
 Peggy looked from the one man to the other and wondered which to concentrate on -- a rich man CT a career.
 But she was doomed to disap- rointment if she expected en- 6ouyagement in either of her am- bitionS from either man. Nigel looked up ct them without mov- Mg.

 When Peggy returned she realized that she had left two men together who had every reason to dislike one another intensely. It was apparent that they did.
 Nigel lay on his back gathering a tan and Baldy sat in an over- pressed play suit of blue cotton perspiring slightly and smoking a very long cigar with a moody un- ..@saanAn,,c af k1Na e&ril,l..r kaan,,

SEPT. 8, 1942.

The people of Alaska have Legislature. It meets for 60 days every years It decides how much shall be spent for roads. It IS respOn- sible for our Public Schools. It provides for the care of our needy children and our needy elder ly men and women.
 Because of the War the Territory and it's citizens must make many adjustments. It is more important now than in times of Peace that choose carefully the men to be members in the Legislature. The limited powers have in our Government must be watched and preserved. The next Legislature must have men in it that will know what part of Alaska needs; men that will protect the rights of Alaskans. The Republican candidates those kind of men. You will vote wisely on September 8, at the General Election by voting for
