FRANCE NOW READY
PARIS. Oct.. 5— France is now
ready to resume direct economic ne
gotiations with Germany which were
jntenupted last March. This statement
was made by the Foreign Office.

The following plaint from a Sew
ard housewife, whose home is under
going the process of redecoration, will
be appreciated by others who have
suffered a like tragedy in their lives:
There’s plaster on the shelves.
Calsomine upon the floor,
The cuckoo-clock is full of paste,
And the windows and the door.
\
There’s paper in the porridge pot,
And sizing on the stair,
The parlor rug with paint is ruined
And so is mothers hair.
There’s smut upon the baby’s face.
Oil on the Morris chair,
But whats the use complainjng
Though it really makes you swear.
Every man and woman in Seward who
can vote should cast his or her vote in
the Straw Ballot contest, if for no oth
er reason than to learn just how to
mark a ballot in the coming election.
Several of the ballots already cast
have been killed because the person
marking them voted for both delegates
or both candidates for President. Head
the little ballot and if you are in doubt
ask about it. Walk right into the drug
store and vote, it won’t cost you a
penny and it will show some of the
other towns *n the territory that tho
Seward people are alive and interest
ed in vital things.

Yesterday afternoon Ra/o Operat
or Zelk while scanning the bay
through the powerful marine glasses
which aie part of the equipment at th<
Radio Station noticed in the air, what
he at first believed to be an enormous
sea gull, it was fiying in circles, dip
ping anu rising and swooping down
close to the water. He watched it fo:
some time ana finally as it appioath
cd within nearer vision the supposed
sea gull changed into a iarge airplane
Mr. Zelk upon discovering the rea.
identity of the object he had beer,
watching immediately made kitoWn t<
"Red” and other people stationed
the Radio station the fact and each
one after looking through the glasses
was positive that the huge machine
was a large mono hydro plane.
They watched it for some timi
skit ting the east shoie of the bay an<,
finally saw it disappear into Sunny
Bay. For a long while after it disap
peared they waited and watched fo
another glimps of the machine, but
u hen darkness came the big plane had
not made its reappearance. Possibly it
sunk like the airplane seen at Chicago
or it may be that it left during the
darkness to return to the point from
which it came.
A couple of young children wore |
taken suddenly sick recently and the
doctor who examined them stated that
the symtoins weije the same as migh*
be caused by stryknine. Recently a
number of dogs have been poisoned
and the source of this poison has been
traced to certain little pellets contain
ing stryknine that were thrown reck
lessly around in public places. In the
fiist place a man who deliberately
pcisons dogs in a wholesale manner
proves conclusively by his act that h°
is no man and in the second place he
jeopardizes the lives of all the kiddies
who play around town. The person
who will maliciously and secretly pois
on a dog is a poor apology for a ckunk
