City Police Crack Down On Illegal Liquor Traffic

George L. Wells, age 23, plead guilty in U. S. Commissioners Court Saturday morning to a charge of purchasing intoxicat- ing liquor and mixer and deliv- ering same to Jimmie Webb Ca minor) of Seward.
 Wells was sentenced to six months in the Federal jail with three months suspended.
 The guilty man stated that he was aware that his act was un- lawful, but he just took the chance.
 The arrest was made by Off, cer Andi Anderson of the local police department.
 Authorities wish to point out the unfairness of any juvenile putting an older person in such a position and warn that the law will be enforced in such cases to the fullest extent. No favor will be shown. It is said that jul venile delinquency has increased in the city of Seward until it is necessary that drastic action be taken.
 Local authorities also caution bartenderS to insist on authentic proof of age of questionable GUS toners, such as draft cards, or photostatic copies of birth cer- tificateS.

Radio Sfufion kIBH Celebrates
 First Birthday

Station KIBH has completed it's first year of service in and for the city of Seward and vii cinity.
 On Sunday, Nov. IA, 1948, the people of Seward stayed close to their radios to hear the first program of our local station. Many visitors to the station expressed their appre- citation and best wishes to Wm. J. Wagner, owner of the Alaska Broadcasting Company, Bruce Cruikshank, manager, and to the engineers Young and Mi chols. High winds, frozen pipes, floods, snows, nothing but power shortage has taken the station off the air during the entire year since that night, and that for only a few minutes. A great deal of this is due to the present crew, Jim Lawson, manager; w. O. Bud" Hegeman and Carl Van Sitter, engineers.
 To the many who would have no other entertainment, station KIBH has been constant source of enjoyment, and a means of keeping up with what is going on in the world. The newspaper salutes the radio on it's first birthday.

Mrs. Lanier Resigns As Welfare Aqen+

Mrs. Eugene Lanier, as agent, has represented the Department of Public Welfare in this com munity for the past year. She gave notice this week of her resignation, stating that she is no longer able to continue the work which is likely to be get ting progressively greater each month as winter develops.

Postmaster Asks Early Mailing For Christmas

The handling of Christmas mails is tremendous task, and there is reason to believe that the volume this year will be as heavy or even heavier than in prior years. Therefore, it is high ly important that postmasters in their plans and organization for the coming Christmas period give careful and close attention to publicizing the importance of cooperation on the part of their patrons in the preparation and early mailing of their greetings and gift parcels.
 The public has always re- sponded wholeheartedly to rea- sonable appeals for cooperation, and are asked to do so again this season. The following informa- tion is given as guide to mail CTS:
 Postage
 Prepay postage fully on all mail matter. Save time by buy ing stamps in advance of the rush period.
 All mail matter must be plain ly and completely addressed, preferably in ink, giving street address or post office box or rural route and box number whenever possible.
 Be sure that every piece of mail has the sender's return ad- dress in the upper left hand cor ner. Address tags should not be used unless absolutely necessary since they are liable to be torn off and lost. If tag must be used, the address, and senders return address should be placed inside the package for the pur- pose of Identification if neces- sary.
 Packing and Wrapping
 Pack articles carefully and tightly in strong durable con- tainers. Wrap and tie packages securely with good quality paper and cord, but do not seal them unless name and address of sender are shown, together with the printed inscription reading Contents, Merchandise - Post master: This parcel may be op- ened for postal inspection, if necessary" These printed stick CTS may be purchased at any stationery counter.
 Size and Weight
 Parcels sent by air or as fourth-class matter are limited to a maximum of 100 inches length and girth combined. The limit of weight of first and fourth class matter, including air parcel post, is 70 pounds. Christmas Seals
 As an exceptional measure, Christmas Seals and stickers are permitted on the outside of mail matter during the month of December but it is preferable that they be placed on other than the address side.
 To encourage early mailing, senders are permitted to mark parcels Do not open until Christmas, Happy New Year." etc., and a simple dedicatory in- scription not of personal na- ture may be written in books but other unauthorized written additions, will place parcels in the letter rate Of postage.
 Do not enclose letters or mes sages, no matter how brief in parcels, as doing so would change the entire parcel to let ter rate of first class postage. Letters or communications may be fastened to the outside of the parcel, stamped for first class rate, and the parcel itself will still go at parcel post rates. Perishable Matter

SoYbeon Production
Varieties - S-l00, Ogden, and
Roanoke continue to be the most
productive varieties for seed pro-
duction. Approximately maturi-
ty dates for these varieties are:
S-l00, September 10; Ogden,
October S; and Roanoke, October
rs. If there is no preference for
time OF maturity, best yields will
usually be obtained from planting
Ogden. Ogden will hold its seed
quite satisfactorily for two weeks
after it has reached combine ma
turity.
Rate Of Planting - A good uni
form stand helps to control weeds.
Plant 10 to IL seed per foot of row
in rows SO to 40 inches apart. With
these varieties. As to 60 pounds of
seed will be required per acre.
Time OF Planting Late April
or early May paintings usually
result in highest seed yields. Early
maturing varieties usually give
better results in early paintings
than do late varieties. For late
paintings such as planting after
oats, late maturing varieties do
best.
Culture - Control weeds before
planting and while the beans are
small. A good stand of vigorous
soybean plants soon shades out
any weeds in the row. Plant only
when there is sufficient moisture
in the soil for the beans to germi-
| nate.
Fertilizer - For hill area, use
200 to 800 pounds of 5-10-5 along
with 200 to 800 pounds of basic
Stag per acre. In delta area no
fertilizer is needed according to
