JUNEAU SCHOOL BANDS START IN
 THIS MORNING

The sounds may have beer slightly discordant, but to the ears of A. B. Phillips, superintendent of schools, and others of the Ju- neau school, no sweeter music could have been heard this morning.
 The tootings and thumpings were the inharmor1ious tunings up oi the beginners band of the Juneau schools And at noon today, more tootings and blowings marked the tufing up of the Juneau High School band.
 The reason this music was SC sweet to the ears of Mir, Phillips if not to others in the immediate vicinity, was the fact that for some time, it was highly doubtful whe- ther or not there would be any bands for Juneau schools this year because no teacher seemed avail able.
 Just before the opening date however, Arthur Uggen, experienced Juneau bandmaster and musician signed up with the schools to take over the position for this year.
 Therefore, even in the first days of discords and sour notes, nc bands could sound sweeter to Jul neau schools than these two, which give promise of fine music for this year again.

Tracts Must Go Back
To Farmers After War
liHen Tells Bar Unit
U. S. Hos Acquired
$4,000, 900 Acres,
lunds Chief Reveals

Declaring the Government has
acquired l2,000, 900 acres of land for
military purposes, Norman M. Lit
tell, Assistant Attorney General,
lands division, Justice Department,
asserted yesterday that after the
war the problem Of disposing of this
land must be keyed to the basic
underlying problem of re-establish-
ing farm families in agriculture as
a way of living"
He said most OF the acreage thus
far taken for war purposes is "agri-
cultural handsome of the best and
q great deal of the worst land of
the country"
AS to the lands division, the
speaker told members of the Fed
eral Bar Association at the Har-
rington Hotel that "our history will
never contain the words too little
and too late but in respect to the
acquisition of lands for war pur-
poses it can already be written in
our little corner of democracy
plenty and in time"
Farmers Being Dispossessed."
Speaking of submarginal lands as
well as tracts being taken over by
the Government, Mr.. Littell re-
marked that "a substantial popula-
ton which knows only the agricul-
tural way of life is being dispos-
sessed from about 100000 acres of
land at time when land hunger
is more intense than at any other
time in American history"
The time consumed in obtaining
possession of sites has been reduced
from an average of Is days by the
end of 1910 to an average of days,
4 hours and IL minutes anywhere
under the American flag and I'VE
are maintaining that speed" Mr..
Littell said
GougerS "Given No Quarter"
There has been some profiteer-
ing attempts, but more than 80 per
cent of the property owners have
relinquished their property by VOL
untary agreement, Mr. Ltteu said
AS to "the small minority delib-
erately trying to dig into the United
States Treasury for all they can
get" Mr.. Littell said, these para
sites on the public treasury deserve
little consideration and we give them
no quarter"
Robert N. Anderson, president of
the association. presided at the

plans are about to come to a sue
cessful fruition, as they say in the
best journalistic circles.
Even Detroit's loyal fans do not
expect a pennant. but who can
deny that to this moment the
Tigers have given us a terrific run
for our money. Who could ask for
more? They have been in nearly
every game this year. and that's
encouraging. In baseball YOU
make hay, not when the sun
shines, but when you're playing
at home.
The baseball fan would have his
biggest thrill if he could get in on
skull practice. the trade name for
a pre-game meeting. Here is the
last stronghold of privacy in
major league baseball. All the
ultimate club business is discussed
and il is unethical for a player
TO divulge what happens for a
reasonable length of time. We
attended some very stormy ses-
sions, heard many critical debates,
saw few fists fly.
Biggest laugh of any meeting
was when Cobb managed. For a
spell he appointed a different
player each day 10 conduct. Felt
that new ideas could be gathered.
