It is their convenience that is sought after. Probably no institution was ever run with so scant a list of rules that might prove even a bit irksome. That agrees with the opinion of almost everyone who has visited Sitka and thé Home since Mr. Hansen was appointed by Gov. Troy last Summer. }From the outset it has run as smoothly as a well lubricated machine. FEven during the trying period of moving out of the old buildings and getting established in temporary quarters, the morale of the residents of the Home didn't lower at all. It is a testimonial to Mr, Hansen's ability, tact and diplomacy that the transition was effected with 50 little trouble and fuss. Daily Alaska Empire ROBERT W.

Since President Roosevelt allocated $20,000,000 of Emergency Conservation Work funds for the purchase of forest lands as a relief and conservation measure last July 21, the Federal Government has acquired or is now acquiring through purchase more than 3,000,000 acres for National Forests east of the Great Plains. These purchases bring the total area in Government ownership within the National For- ests in the Lake States and the Eastern and South- ern States regions to 10,273,269 acres. jv Of this area, 7,796,129 acres has been purchased , with the approval of the National Forest Reserva- {ion Commission, under the Weeks and Clarke- EASTERN FORESTS GAIN e 3 McNary forest laws.

This is an opening statement, not an oratory contest.” Lampere ‘bowed and smiled— “knowing Judge Morgan’s handicap where the use of words are con cerned, I concede him his objec- tion.” He turned again to the-jury. “Gentlemen, in this forthcoming trial of this will, . am going to show you that this defendant, one Judith Lane-Dale, has, from the moment she irst met the late Tom Bevins. attempted to insinuate herseli into his favor. “In the beginning.she sought to force her way into his home with the intention of becoming his legal. 1y adopted daughter.

Perhaps Clia could help Delphy, blessed old Delphy who had forgotten the color-line when she found her “poor-lamb” being dese- cratad. Would Lampere never finish? What if he did call her a golddigger, what if he did say she was the em- bodiment of all that is unlovable in woman? Th, hands of the clock pointed to five. The judge looked up as a bell tolled the hour. Lampere saw the look and stopped, sat down. “Mister Morgan,” said the judge on the bench, “how much time will your speech rejuire?” “About five ‘minutes,” said Mor- gan easily, and grinned affably. “As counsel says, I'm a little short on words.” “Then proceed please.” \, ORGAN arose, looked over the * top of his spectacles at the men and smiled. “Gentlemen,” he con- fided, “I'm not goli to try to prove anything. You have intelligence. You are not going to let your emo- tions rule your hrains. You are busi- ness men, and as business men will knov the truth when you hear it and when you see it. “Gentlemen, in the forthcoming trial concerning this will, which I happened to draw up and not on the aight of August 25th, I shall let the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth speak for it- self. Thank you.” The first day was over. Judith walked out of the courthouse, feel- ing. 13 though she were suspended in midair. At the curb she found Delphy in Clia’s car, Clia beside her, I both of them laughing so the little coupe was wobbling on its springs. “You found her?” Judith ques- tioneu. “Found her,” echoed Clia, de- risively, “we thought the court house had been taken over by the Reds, dashed out and discovered it was only Delphy, shaking balliffs oft her arms as though they were beetles.” Judith laughed with them, but she laughed no more that evening. Cunard chided her, Mrs. Cunard consoled her but she only shook her head—"I didn’t mind them call- ing me a gold digger, and that, but to speak of Big "'om that way ... to why, Mrs. Cunard, the old darling didn’t have enough love between those two wo- men to warm him into a smiie. No one could have blamed him if he had wvandered away from home for just ‘sympathy, but he was too ‘{decent.” Mrs. Cunard accompanied her to her oom, laughed at Delphy’s red brick which went to her mistress’ cold feet, smiled at the chocolate and added a sleeping powder. “He r.ay put you on the stand first thing and you must have your rest,” she said, when Judith pro- tested. “I'm surely gratefnl care,” Judith whispered. Next morning it was nice to arise. She dressed and slipped quietly down to the rose garden. There was a pool at the heart of it, a grotto in which water trickleu and there was a school of goldfish, which perked impertinent mouths to the surface. Someone else was astir, she real- ized after sitting on the rim of the pool a moment, someone was talk- ing, evidently over the telejhone, his voice carrying clearly across the garden. Judith didn’t want to listen but she could scarcely help it without padding her ears, especlally after she heapd her name mentioned. “Judith is taking it like a little soldier.” “Of course she feels a bit sick about it. She hadn’t expected that kind of an attack.” “No, I don’t think so. Ot course it would be fine for her at present, but we have to think about her fu- ture.” . F (Coouright. 19%4.
