Some skill and planning, too, are required. Your seeds and plants cannot be too closely placed; they must have a reasonable amount of water and sunshine; they must be kept free of weeds and the ground about them must be reason- |ably rich; kept soft and “growable.” | If, in planting your garden you will remember |these things—and if you won't give out when warm to the use fos | days arrive—then you'll find the task to be as pleas- 1t or mob ant a one as you've ever tackled. At least that's the way we always feel about it during those last cold days which precede spring- | time. All persons interested in the subject can secure | information concerning available plots and other | matters from Fred Geeslin of the Alaska Office of Indian Affairs. Deputy War Savings Administrator Fred Ayer, and Miss Estella Draper, Secretary to the Governor, can supply interested parties with information con- cerning the threats of porcupines and cut worms |after an unfortunate, but, informative tussle with the creatures last year.

Beaumont had been advised by the Provident Trust Company of Philadelphia that he was heir to the estate of a distant relative which amounted to approximately $800,000. As far as could be learned.there were only four heirs. Marshal Beaumont was leaving Juneau in the evening for Ketchikan on court business. M. D. Bothwell,resigned his position with the Sanitary Grocery to take over his new duties as a partner of D. G. Allen, in the brekerage firm of Bothwell and Allen, recently organized here. Mr. Bothwell was succeeded at the Sanitary Grocery by Henry Lempkins, a former em- ployee of the Sanitary who had returned from the South on the Admiral Rogers.

Ellender had stood staunchly by Huey during. the latter's rows with the Louisiana legislature, and after- ward he suggested to Huey that he would like to-sell some: potatoes | to the state penitentiary. Among | other things, Ellender operates a | potato farm where he raises a good brand of spuds. “Okay,” replied Huey, “I'll speak | to the warden about it.
