DIARY ...
Last week we said Weyandote
was going to win the “darby’’.
Our only defense was that we
read in a magazine that he was.
We don’t know who said it
but “difference of opinion is still
what makes horse races”.
A frantic mother lost one of
her brood the other day and
sent out other members of the
family to look for the misaing
one, a l»oy of tender ears.
After some fuss the youngster
made his appearance. It seemed
he had crawled in the dog house
and gone to sleep. He was quite
copiously covered with dog hairs,
*n fact, to add weight to his
Btory.
In this instance, Junior was
stitl in the dog house for some
time after he came out of it.
A number of our local citizens
were recently visitors to anotl er
Alaska town where they had an
interesting experience. They
were visitors to a night spot,
and it seems one of the local
arms of the law was entering
the place and somehow an argu

the law whips out one of those
fountain pens that aren’t what
they seem and shot some tear

and tears were streaming down
her face, although she didn’t
know it.
A letter was dispatched from
Kodiak to Japan via New York
recently to a prisoner of war,
but came back after getting
only as far as Seattle.
The reason it came back was
because of the stamp on it
Stamps are all right, although
not necessary for regular mail
on such letters, but this stamp
wasn’t. It had an eagle whose
wings farmed a V and the words
“Win the War”. Any such
wording is not allowed.

For instance, if the ice had gone
out on the day before, at 3:33
pm, there were 208 tickets on
that minute, and of that num
ber 115 of them were company
tickets.

we are told, was refunded, since
there is no such date. Other
tickets were ruled out because
