SAFETY STGNPOSTS

Haylng season is one of the most
dangerous Of the year on the farm,
as shown by farm accident statis-
tics. Wartime conditions have fur
ther increased the hazards of this
season with inexperienced and un-
trained help, harvest machinery
which is older and in poorer condi-
ton. and other wartime shortages.
Farmers are likely to give less
time to repairs Of haying equip
ment during this critical period. L.
P. Fairbank, specialist in agricul-
tural engineering Of the University
Of California suggests the follow
ing ways in which to lessen acci-
dents during the haying season:
Check ropes. pulleys, and bitches
to see that they are in proper con-
ditiOn.
Handle pitchforks carefully at all
times.
Do not attempt to work on now

HOME SOURCE OF

grass, burnet, tall feScue and the
rye grasses are among pasture grass
eS which can be seeded by spread
ing the ripened hay of these grasses
on the soil Many farmers already
lave pastures from which they can
take such hay, and sometimes it is
available from a neighDor for seed
purposes.
Jones says when cutting pasture
plants fOr seed they should be NOV
cd when the seed begins to ripen
and hauled Immediately to the field
where the sprea of the plants is
desired The hay is spread about
where it casts its seed, and the
straw makes a good mulch to en-
courage termination and growth Of
the new seed. Jones says very little

 Miss Hickey set aside a brief case stuffed with memoranda and went on with her observations:
 Britain is determined 10 get back her place in the sun on trade. The country is in a radically con- structive mood. The goals are: u) Jobs for all who want 10 work. (2) A steadily rising standard of living. (3 Greater technical eff ciencY.

She was born and educated in Missouri, is a member of the Missouri bar and now heads Miss Hickey's Train ing School for Secretaries. She founded the school during the de- preSsion.

2 LOCAL LIQUOR
 DEALERS FACING
 TAX PROSECUTION

Jack D. Jadoff and Frank M. Kal Janoff, Juneau liquor dealers, were arraigned here late yesterday Eefcre U. S. Commissioner Felix Gray on charge of 'concealment Of liquor with intent to defraud the revenue. The two men voluntarily appeared fer arrest on the advice of their attorneys.
 They were released on bond set at S3,c90 each. Attorney for MT. Jadoff is M E. Monagle. MT. Kard- enoff is represented by Albert White and Simon Hellenthal No hearing has yet been set.
 The arrest followed seizure of 179 cases of liquor, valued at S3,000. The seizure and arrest followed an inves- tigstion conducted by the U. S. MarShals Office, Leo L. Lazetti, Deputy Collector in Charge of the Internal Revenue Office and Lon- nie Mcintosh, special investigator Of the Alcohol Tax Unit. The com plaint was sworn to by MT. McIn- tosh.
 The liquor seized was floor stock, purported to be owned by MT Jadoff, cn which no tax was paid, as of April l, 1944. The two men were formerly partners in the Juneau Inn Lcre, which is now operated by MT Jsdoff. It is reported that MT Kardanoff, proprietor of the Occi- dGntal Bar at present, had sold his interest in the liquor concerned to Mir Jadoff, at the time their part nership was dissolved. It is alleg- cd, however, that MT Kardanoff still stsired his interest in the stock at the time the tax payment failure occurred.

Bremen Vote Use of Field Members Will Help
 in Maintenance

The Soft Ball League was granted free use of the Juneau Ball Park last night at the monthly meeting of the Juneau Fire Department. Capt Charles Beach of the Signal Ccrps, Secretary of the soft ball or ganization, appeared before the Bremen, stating that the league would be made up of seven teams ccns.sting mostly Of service men.
 The Fire Department has spon- cred regular baseball in Juneau fer many years, but last season, be- cause Of the shortage of hard ball players, supported soft ball league which provided recreation for over 1C0 players. Capt. Beach stated there will be no charge for the soft ball games and that each team will provide it's own equipment.
 T.c Ball Park was developed and is owned by the Juneau Fire De- pertinent, a non-profit organization, for the benefit of the community. Revenue from ball games has form e-ly been uged to repair the grand stand and the fence around the park. With no revenue the past two seasons and heavy maintenance necessary, Bremen voted last night tc pitch in and do the work them selves. Members of the Depart p-ont will meet Monday night at ' D. m., under the leadership of Jim Clme, to smooth up the field and begin repair work. Captain Beach promised cooperation from teams in the soft ball league in this effort.
 It was voted to hire Bill Sprigade as caretaksr for the Firemen's Ball Park fer the summer season, as has been done in the past.
 Walter McKinnon was elected in- to the Bremen at last nights netting. He is the son of Art Me Kinnon, old-time member of the Apartment who has taken an ac- tive part in developing baseball in Juneau during the past twenty-five yearc.
 Juneau Bremen answered nine fire calls during the month of April. There was no serious fire damage during the period.
