AROUND TOWN LAST WEEK
While their parents were away,
two youngsters played around the
yard. . . .a stranger walked up and
suggested that they play hide-and
seek with a $10 bill. . .the young
sters thought it would be fun so
the stranger went into the house
to hide the b 11. . .and that was the
last they saw of him. . .when the
parents returned, they found the
$10 bill under the jewel box. . .but
the $17,500 worth of jewelry that
had been in the box was gone. A
landlady and her husband were
eontinously arguing. . .because he
brought very little money home. .
when he invited a friend over to
stay, she started arguing with her
husband, then grabbed a gun and
killed him. . :she explained that
she didn't mind her husband not
paying rent but having another
nonpaying guest around. . .was
just too much. A woman’s voice
came over the police phone
screaming for help. . .a few min
utes later, seven policemen dashed

up (o her house. . .“Come in the
back way—quick.” the same voice
called to them. . .the police en
tered and found the woman stand

gasped, “a mouse.”. . .the polige
looked at each other solemnly and

A restaurant offered a complete
dinner, including soup with choice
of roast, steak, chops or fish, two
vegetables, pie, tea coffee, milk
or beer—for 15 cents. Also ham and
eggs for 15 cents; bacon and eggs,
12 cents; and coffee with three |
butter cakes for a nickel. But, alas
the restaurant wasn't open to the
public. It was on the “Chicken
Every Sunday" set and only to

SHIP (Special). — Strickly fresh
eggs and killed-to-order chicken at

Coast Guard officers aboard this
vessel plying South Sea waters.
And it Is a dream that soon may
become a reality, for they have
bought a dozen 3-day-old chicks
from a Japanese-American farmer
and plan to raise them in a coop
built under the wings of the bridge.

Judges Set Fees for
Alaska Lawyers
Alaska’s district judges, meeting
at McKinley Park recently, adopt
ed a schedule of attorney’s fees
that will go into effect October 1
under the Rules of the Court.
Discussion revealed a great dis
crepancy in fees charge?! in the
different districts and by lawyers
in the same district, which led to
the standardization.
Fees adopted range from 30 per
cent of contested lien cases involv
ing property less than $1,000 in
value to five per cent of cases ex
ceeding $25,000 in value.
In non-contested cases the at
torney may charge 20 per cent in
cases of less than $1,000 in value,
ranging down to 25 per cent in
cases exceeding $25,000.
In non-lien cases the range is
from 25 per cent for contested cases
up to $1,000, to .5 per cent for con
tested cases exceeding $25,000: and
15 per cent for non contested cases
up to $1,000. down to .25 per cent
for those exceeding $25,000.
Quiet title, replevin and eject
ment suit charges are the same as
on liens, based on the value of
property involved.
Divorce charges are $250 for con
tested cases and $150 for non-con
tested.
The judges also agreed upon
recommending to the administrative
office an increase in commission
ers’ fees that would be a big help
to commissioners in smaller places.
In cities where commissioners are i
paid on a salary basis, the extra
money would go into the treasury
The United States Courts are not
a part of the Department of Jus
tice as most persons think, and
have not been since 1939. While
the district attorneys and the mar
shal’s office are in the Justice De
partment, the Courts have an ad
ministrative office of their own. j

Americans, says:
“The best advice I have ;
ever given in my long life is the
advice I give Americans now; that
is, keep buying and holding U. S.
Savings Bonds because they will
insure your future happiness. Any
home with Savings Bonds is cer
tainly a better home than one with
out Savings Bonds. I can truly write
about the merits of Savings Bonds
in the family relationship, because
bonds are really very personal in
their nature. Savings Bonds eventu
ally become the things we hope for,
whether it is marriage, a new home,
children’s education or plain lei
sure.” u. S. Treasury Department
