Matheson HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” Friday, February 26 Benefic aspects rule this day which should be fortunate for bankers and financiers. The Jaunch- ing of some novel Government pol- icy will be profitable. HEART AND HOME: Routine tasks will be best for women today which is not promising for those who seek employment. Housekeep- ers will face more and more per-| plexities concerning daily menus because rationing will now be ex- tensive and inflation will be ap- parent as the cost of living soars. As Congress discusses protests from all parts of the country regarding lack of oil and scarcity of fuel, un- rest and discontent extend among persons usually well-intentioned. True patriotism, however, will be| evident among the great majority| who will cheerfully accept many discomforts. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Althoughi| wage earners “in all war industries | buy bonds and stamps regularly| *hey will have plenty of surplus‘ with which to shop extravagantly. Merchants who profited in the hol- iday season when jewelers, fur- riers and other dealers in luxuries sold large stocks of merchandise| will continue to be patronized, de-| pite protests from Government; sources.

P. Dawes was returning to Juneau on the Jefferson. il . Olaf Bru and Ernest Bakke, members of the crew of the halibut fishing boat Lincoln, were swept overboard and drowned on February 18, at 6:45 p. m. when the boat was 10 miles off Hazy Island, according to advices received at the Customs office. A 60-mile gale was blowing at the time of the accident and the men were thrown on the deck by the fdrce of the wind and swept overboard, Buoy kegs, life preservers and lines were thrown out but the men were never seen after going overboard. Three additional members of the Territorial Legislature arrived in Juneau, two coming from the Westward and the third from the South. Arrivals were Senator E. E. Chamberlin, of Seward, and Senator-elect John W. Dunn, of Ruby, and Representative-elect W. D. Grant of Wrangell., o A called meeting of the Juneau Commercial Association was to be held the following evening at 8 o'clock in the Council Chambers at City Hall, according to an announcement made by M. S. Whittier, Secre- tary. Among the things to be taken up was the entertainment at a luncheon or dinner of the Territorial Legislature, preliminary arrange- ments for which had been started several days prevously. several the For one of the members who had been seriously ill for months, the local lodge of the Moose was to give a benefit at {Palace Theatre. The residence of Charles Sey, in Douglas, narrowly escaped destruc- tion by fire the previous day when sparks from the kitchen range ignited some jwraps hanging nearby and the flames spread throughout the room before being discovered. Fire Chief Kromquist, who lived nearby, re- sponded to a call for help with fire extinguishers and the blaze was put out Weather was unsettled with a maximum temperature of 38 and a minimym of 37.

Another was that “horse owners >an, in many cases, save shoes by emoving the shoes immediately after a period of necessary road work.” From behind its red face, the WPB hastens to explain that (1) [t was not Harvardman Gay who composed the letter, but farm- born Verne Gregg of the Depart- ment of Agriculture; and (2) WPB really means what it says about saking off the horse's shoes. It's a simple matter, says Gregg, to pull the nails out of a shoe at the end of a season of road work, when the horse is going to be in pasture. Otherwise, the shoes will orobably be lost in pasture, and in the spring Dobbin. will have to come back to town for new iron that can be used for better pur- pose in the war. ture Syndicate, Inc.)
