able in the country as far as the
independent is concerned.
Ironic part of the whole thing is
that, before the war, the big COM
panies were blocking higher price
for crude Oil, but since the war the
OPA does the blocking for them.
Another fact that most people
don't realize is that out of the 400
600 oil wells in this country, 300,-
900 are stripped wells. In other
words, they are old wells which
pump off one to three barrels daily.
These are the wells now being closed
down And once closed, with the
pump and casing pulled, they are
lost permanently to the nation.
Never can they be reclaimed with
out prohibitive cost.
Nevertheless, Washington still un-
Willingly plays into the hands of
big business.
NOTE = Judge Vinson would be
glad to give the stripper oil wells
subsidies, but to date they have
fought subsidies just as vigorously
as they have fought for price in
crease.

Juneau has been charged with being lacking in
the civic spirit and pride to make it prosperous and
progressive community
If civic spirit means that upon hearing person
make derogatory remarks about their fine community
then perhaps Juneau is lacking in civic spirit civic
pride
II, on the other hand, the people able to work
together a project such the recently concluded
Fourth War Loan Drive, and provide the civic spirit
for buying only the paltry s3150oO worth of War
Bonds which had been assigned the quota, but
than S663 900 worth-then this community is not lack
ing in civic spirit
= This not easy task because Juneau is not
boom town. These bonds were not purchased by
war workers and other outsiders who making
plenty of easy money but by Juneautes and Douglas
ties who wanted to make showing for their COM
munty.
Not miners, not Government people, not store
keepers bought these bonds Juneauites bought them
and Douglasites bought them This community
project and it carried out very nicely.
1T is very true indeed that Juneau lacks many
many things which other cities Outside offer their
citizens But it is also very true that Juneau offers
many advantages which it did not offer to its resi-
dents in earlier days. And the same thing goes for
all of Alaska. Alaska is still young country and
SO is Juneau very young city, comparatively
speaking. Juneau is not perfect by any means. There
is much room for improvement.
Juneau does, however have some things to
mend it. 1t has fine outdodor playground with
swimming pool and modern tennis courts 1t has
good schools and what is also important good

NEW AGRICULTURE AIDE

Out here in Texas. everyone was
delighted to hear that Grover Hill,
Amarillo cow man, had become
Under Secretary of Agriculture, be-
cause every Texan is always glad
to see any other Texan, even Jesse
Jones, get ahead in Washington.
However, they wonder little just
how smart Grover is going to be in
his new job
For some folks still remember the
time when Grover Hill appeared be-
fore a railroad-rate hearing TO try
to get freight rates reduced on
cattle feed because of the drought.
He was cross examined by Fred Wal
lace, attorney for the Fort Worth
and Denver Railroad, who pulled
out a clipping of an article Grover
had written for the Amarillo News,
saying that conditions were fine.
The railroad attorney read the
first part of the article to Hill, who
was little flustered.
How do you reconcile this glow
ing article with your statement be-
fore us today that things are so
bad?" the attorney asked
"Oh, you know how we like TO
tout things up in this part of the
country" was Growers red-faced
reply.
However, if he had remembered
what he wrote in the article, he

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bit do not compel"
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10
Although an unimportant day in
planetary government, there Is a
sign presaging great events on the
world war fronts.
HEART AND HOME: Manual
dexterity, once again in vogue be-
cause of war activities, will prove OF
lasting value to American womei.
Astrologers say their amazing eff
ficiency will bring happiness to
thousands of households.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS Wartime
prices will cause anxiety among far
mers and manufacturers but pros
perity will continue. Millions of
wage learners will give little heed to
the possibilities of evil portents ON
the morrow.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Heavy
storms will cause severe losses of
city property and will demonstrate,
in country areas, the need of bet
ter care of livestock. Fires will be
numerous, according to certain signs.
Incendiaries will be apprehended
after a costly conflagration in an
eastern town.
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS
Astrologers again stress the point
that time favors the Axis. The
most intense offensives are impera-
tive from now until June, at which
time the United Nations may be
forced to slow their momentum.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of average
good luck after delays and handi-
caps. An upheaval of some sort is
forecast.
Children born on this day will
probably be ambitious, sensitive and
cver-generous. They are apt to be
quick-tempered.

He went through the lobby out into

the reef and breaking again on the

softened the strident scream Of mu-
sic from the bar. The place was
empty except for Tausslg and Di-

smoking their cigars. They stopped
talking for an instant when he came
out, and started again, obviously on
another subject. They couldn't have
been talking about the beauty Of
Puerto Rico all that time, he
thought. He sat down at a table in
the corner and ordered a Scotch and
soda. The window Of Anne's room
was dark. There was light in
the hall window, and one In Taus-
sle's near the angle Of the wall. He
saw 1t 90 out abruptly. Probably
the maid, he thought.
He saw Taussig look up, and move
slightly. Then the light went on
again. Taussig moved again, glanc-
ing up at Anne's window. Or Pete
thought he did. He wasn't sure.
