ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. IT - A Times dispatch from Juneau says the Army Hospital at Seward, va cated more than a year ago, was deteriorating with age and vandal- ism while Dr. C. Earl Albrecht was making a futile attempt to pur- chase it for the Territory.

at the edge of the small plot where they can wander a bit. Or if not planted too soon, a few vines may be grown in the corn patch to ripen after the corn has been removed.
 Melons grow best in a manured and well-drained soil. Place eight to 10 seeds in slightly raised hills and then cover with half inch Of good soil. A shovelful of well-rot- ted manure is placed under each hill to insure good growth and to retain moisture. When the vines are well established, about eight to 12 inches long, remove all but three of the strongest plants in each hill. and pinch off the tips when about Is inches long to make them branch out. This will make the fruit mature earlier. Soak the soil well before sowing seed and, to pre- vent rotting of seed, do not water again until the seeds germinate and the seedlings are a couple of inches tall The hills should be six feet apart.

Poor Digestion? Gc16. c1 !.
 Headachy? DO Sour or Upset? % Tired-listIess? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be dgested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ea- lures own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25s.

 Best, Rocky, Pride of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Market, and Honey Dew for the south and west.
 Remember, muskmelons must ripen on the vine, except for Honey Dew and Persian.
 Melons need plenty of room, a season with lots of hot sun and plenty of moisture. In northern gardens, the quicker-maturing me- Ions are advised. Frequent, but shallow cultivation, until the run ners interfere, is necessary. Melons are subject to the same insects and diseases common to cucumbers. Frequent dusting with rotenone will control beetles and the tiny aphids as well. Cover the vines with cloth and dust under the sheet, directing the rotenone dust on the undersides of the foliage. Mildew, blight and other diseases are controlled by frequent spraying with half strength 2-2-50 Bordeaux or neutral copper, or with copper l:S,e dust. Pick off and destroy squash or stink bugs.

QUESTION MARKS

Isn't 1t tragic to realize that the Allies have more unity during their graveSt dangers than after their greatest victories? Don't Allied statesmen know their unity is the most potent weapon for peace? Why Jam the trigger with power politics? Arent they aware that without unity everything they won will be iost? =. Have you noticed that the iSolationists who posed as peace lovers are' doing everything pos srole to sabotage the peace? :. IS there anything more alarming than Cong. Rankin's open attack against freedom of the press? Do Americans realize that Rankin is aSsalllng the Constitution he swore to protect? Will Congress take &C., ton against this attempt to destroy our most vital right? Or will they allow Rankin to betray the ideals Americans are fighting and dying for?
 Do our statesmen know that the Hitler towards only carried out the barbaric ideas Germanazi militar- lstS preached for centuries? Don't they realize if the Junkers aren't drastically punished they will use future Germanazis to give us an- other dose of global havoc? :. Where does Cong. Rankin get the gall to pose as a friend of soldiers? isn't he the one who voted against giving them weapons with which to defend themselves? Didn't he fight against their overseas voting rights? Don't you think Americas first step toward insuring world peace should consist of puttinug handcuffs on those trying to start civil war in America?
 Why does Cong. Max Schwabe want to hand the Germanazis soft peace? Doesn't he know that soft peace will give them another chance to involve Americans in a hard war? Do you notice that everytime some Congressional flap jaws shoot off their mouths it is always done with blanks? . What became of those who dreamed up postwar utopias a few years ago? .. Do you remember when rabble- rouser Gerald L. K. Smith con- fessed some time ago under oath that he had violated a law? Why hasn't he been prosecuted? What makes him immune?
 How many newspapers recall our repeated warnings when some solonS attempted to suppress this reporter? Do they remember we reminded them thhat the refusal of most gazettes to back our fight would re- suit in giving aid and comfort to flapJaWs and make it easier of them to attack the rights of other neWspapermen? Doesn't the latest attempt to use Gestapo methods against a reporter prove the gravity of our warning? .. Have you read that Congress voted to give them selves s250O more for expenses? Did you know that money is tax free? Howcum they gave them selves a raise without asking for permission from their boss-the voters? Whats become of the diplomatic alibi that we must pam per Fascist Franco as military necessity? Why do we continue to play ball with him when that ex- cuse no longer exists? Hnmm?
