FEED AMERICA FIRST."
Civilized man dots not live unto
himself alone. His welfare, often his
fate, is hound up with the welfare of
the people about him, indeed in a
broad and often unsuspected way, of
Hie people who inhabit the same planet.
As tin comic cartoon depicting the
Kelley pool game often says, "we're
ail here together."
In a community where most of the
people are industrious, frugal, pros
perous, and pay their bills on the dot
it is easy for a man similarly inclined
to do business and get along comfort
aid j. Among a slovenly, improvident,
dishonest people who pay no heed to
their obligations an honest man would
have a hard time to prosper.
a farmer of the old type who rais
ed and made nearly everything he
wanted to eat or wear and found him
self surrounded by people who had gold
but who produced nothing and made 1
nothing to use and who sold the whole I
product of his farm to his neighbors
would at the end of the transaction j
find that hi1 had a lot of gold but noth- I
ing to eat and nothing to wear. If he '
could not exchange his gold for com- j
modifies he would not be in as good aj
position as he was when he owned the I
food, and wool and what not which j
he could use.
Owing to the war, many nations are
finding themselves in the predicament
of such a farmer. Neutral nations
have been selling their food products
Iron, chemicals, rubber, and other in
dispensiblo things to the nations at war
and have received gold therefor.
For two years this influx of gold has
looked very pleasing to them. Now,
they are beginning to wake up to the
fact that gold is of no use to them if
they cant' satisfy their wants with it.
The waning nations were willing to
give their gold for products and the
neutral nations were more than will
ing to receive the gold for their pro
ducts, The nations at war needed the
food, steel, etc., because, being other
wise occupied they could not produce
for their own needs. In other words,
the war, because it has taken men
from productive labor has caused a
shortage of commodities, especially
foodstuffs and now the neutrals are be
ginning to feel the pinch.
Only a few days ago Switzerland
imposed a heavy tax on the exporta

of use.
Yesterday we printed a dispatch
Irom New York announcing the incep
tion of the “Feed America First"
movement. The purveyors of bread in
New York have found that the expor
tation of wheat and flour in large
quantities has raised the price of flour
so high that bakers cannot put a loaf
of legal size on the market at a profit.
If this high price for flour continues
long, it means that they will cease
putting loaves of bread on the market
at all.
These New i'ork bakers want the
federal government to place an em
bargo on flour and wheat. If the pres
sure brought to bear on Washington
becomes strong enough the embargo
will be declared. Quite likely condi
tions are not bad enough yet to cause
such a pressure to be brought, but we
are drifting that way rapidly.
If war because it takes men from
useful occupations, causes a shortage
of foodstuffs, is it not also possible that
a shortage of foodstuffs will put an j
end to war?
Secretary Bansing has said that “the
paramount obligation for which govern
ments are instituted is the protection
of life and property,” yet in the same
note to the Mexican government he
recites the deaths of many Amricans,
including those of the Santa Ysabel
massacre, and the destruction of much
American property both in Mexico and j
on our own side of the line. And still
there is no action. Have we a govern
ment at Washington or merely a class
in essay writing.
In August President Wilson told
National Chairman McCormick that he '
"considered a stumping tour incompa
tible with the dignity of the office of
president." Two days ago he announc
ed he* was going on the stump soon
as a matter of duty. The president
has changed his mind again, that is
alb But why? Bet us hope that he
didn't have his ear to the ground and
hear an ominous sound.
That great appropriations by con
gross do not in themselves make a navy ;
iis recalled by the fact that the dread- j
fnoughts authorized by congress a year j
‘ and a half ago have not yet been 1
started and will not be for some '
months yet. Capital ships the construe- '
tion of which was authorized by the j
British government since congress j
j passed the appropriations of a year j
; and a half ago are already at sea and i
have taken their place in the British
[ line. Our ships are still on paper. Also
i it will take many more appropriations
and larger ones than the last before
we have a trunk line to the interior of
Alaska.

A CHAT WITH
OUR READERS
--
As the heading at the top of this
article indicates this is going to be a
straight little heart to heart talk be
tween you and ourselves. We want you
to feel that the Nugget is Just as much
Interested in your own individual suc
cess as it is In the success of the whole
district. Hy working together we can
help each other to a very large extent
and each in our way assist in boost
ing the district in which we are in
terested. It is the constant effort of
the Nugget to proointe the welfare of
the community and district through
the medium of its columns. In our
daily edition we lose no opportunity of
furthering the interests of the com
munity and the district, ns you, your
selves well know. It is to bring to
bear the most potent influence at our
command that we issue annually a
magazine devoted to the development
and exploitation of Seward peninsula,
known as the Mining Edition. You
have all at some time read this publi
cation ahd know that it contains full
and accurate information concerning
the mineral resources, the industries,
and the development needs of the dis-.
trlct. No feature of the country is
overlooked. You all realize that the J
character of the Magazine makes it a [
most valuable advertising medium to J
the outside world. Furthermore it is !
the only publication devoted exclu- 1
sively to the dissemination of knowl- j
edge concerning Seward peninsula and
what it contains.
Now, we feel that you know what I
we are driving at, so why not sit down ;
now and fill out the subscription blank ;
in this issue and help to promote the
good work that we are doing for the
country and yourself by sending in
your subscription for the Magazine.
Send them where they will benefit the j
country. If you can't use a dozen, |
subscribe for a half dozen; if you can’t *
use a half dozen take one.
Every subscription received now 1
means that much more toward en- !
aiding us to produce a better and big- .
ger Magazine.
A better and bigger Magazine means 1
more publicity for the district in which
you are interested. More publicity
means faster progress in development
and faster development means more ,
dollars for you.
So you see that by helping us now !
you will be helping yourself in the
future. While we are at it, we Want
to say a few words to the merchants
of Nome. There is going to be big
business for you in this section in the
future. How soon it will develop de
pends a great deal on how soon you i
are willing to develop it. If you are |
alive to the possibilities of the mining I
and other industries of this section |

project that will tend to further its I
interests. Vou will put you shoulder

country and work with them for de- j
relopment. We need roads, a harbor 1
ind a half dozen other things and they i
will not come unless you get in and !
lend your assistance by boosting or >
lelplng others to do so. Any outlay I
if time or money that you may make j
it the present time will undoubtedly j
-eturn to you tenfold in the future.

country such benefits as may be guin
Hl by advertising the wealth and re- |
tources of the country.
