NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 16, 1916.
Have an apple?
It has been officially announced that
Thanksgiving will occur on November
30.
The federal trade commission began
yesterday to investigate the high cost
of living. What's the Idea? The elec
tion is over.
Somebody or other said "Don't give
up the ship." Even the most loyal
fighter must .»«‘t however, when tl6
”*“» sin' Vora und*!r hi4*.
The debacle ha3 not occurred yet.
War writers hint that It may be ex
pected shortly after Christmas and
that It will start from Russia. "Watch
for It."
Your Thanksgiving turkey will cost
you fifty cents a pound and you ran
be thankful, If you are built that way,
that everybody outside will pay near
ly as much.
Eeven Methodist ministers seem to
envy Mrs. Wilsons social pre-emin
ence. Isn’t there something in the
prayer book about "envy and malice
and all uncharitableness?"
In all seriousness a farm on the
Somme battlefield was advertised for
sale in the European edition of tho
New York Herald. And It might not
be such a bad mvostment at that—as
a mixed metal mine.
Information comes to band which
shows that, the democratic national
committeemen gave up all hope of
carrying Michigan, Illinois and West
Virginia early in the campaign. This
attitude of mind Is proved by the fact
that they assigned Secretary Daniels
to speak In these three states.
Oh, rat3, and piffle, and rats, again!
Chairman Wilcox of tho republican
national committeo and his assistants
George \V. Perkins and Frank H.
Hitchcock are Just as honorable gen
tlemen as any of tho leaders of the
other party and everybody who knows
anything knows it. Politics* make
men 3ay and do things they do not
mean and the "Investigation” la only
a gas bomb thrown to obscure a con
gressional defeat.
Last nights Nugget disaptches show
ed that tho Tuctons are winning In
the east and the entente powers In
the west. Tie two fronts are far anart
In miles but closely related In fact.
DouLtless the central powers win In
the east with troops taken from the
west. Or possibly Germany sees that
the long western front cannot bo held
much longer against the mighty army
England is putting In the field and
does not •tv.ingtl.eu that line because
a retreat to the frontier fortifications,
on a shorter line. Is a part of the gen
etal plan which also Includes as com
plete a subjugation of Roumanla as
was tho case with Servla.
President Vanderllp of the National
City bank of New York Is reported
to have said that he faare America
will be submerged In Its own pros
perity. Possibly so If by America Is
meant the dealers In foreign bonds
and makers of munitions who are
amassing millions faster than has ever
been done In business in the history
of the world. But if America means
the vajt majority who work for
wages, salaries it your prefer It, there
seems mom chanoo for America to be
submerged In debt by the hlgfe oost
of living if the wage scale too doss not
rise high enough to float them
Those Missouri Methodist ministers
who are trying to do away with the
Inaugural ball don't seem to know
when to stop but they may find out
some day. They and their kind have
been very successful In the crusade
for prohibition. But that was one
thing. If they think that the people
of the country arc going to adopt the
rules that they apply to their own re
stricted lives they arc due to receive
a jolt, that's all. We don't all like
balls any more than we all like pic
nics or strawberry festivals. The In
augural ball is Just as right and prop
er for those who are accustomed to
attend It as arc picnics for those who
like them. As for Mrs. Wilson's so
cial ambitions, why she Ju3t seems to
have the edge on a lot of other social
aspirants and what is more Is going to
have that edge four years more.
The eleven year old Idaho boy at
present on trial for the murder of his
school teacher probably now regards
his grievance against the dead man
as a very trivial matter Indeed In
comparison with the taking of a hu
man life. Most iiklely the Bryans.
Sundays and other uplifters who find
a national peril lurking behind every
wrong act would attribute the rash
lads’ deed to uncensored moving pic
ture show, Sunday papers or some
other festering source of crime. But
It may reasonably be inferred that
the little chap had what he thought
a real grievance against the teacher,
maybe an undeserved thrashing, and
he also had a rifle, knew how to uso
It and did so with deadly effect. It
must have been merely a boyish out
burst of anger and doubtless has been
followed by a boys’ full-hearted re
pontence.
WAR PROSPERITY.
Analysis of the source of American
v r *V' Indicate that it springs
\ me foodsturto, unu
products and manufactured goods sold
abroad at prices stimulated by the de
mands of war. The movement of gold
to the United States ha3 been very
large in consequence of the great ex
port trade thus Induced. Capital In
vestments have been In war munition
factories and In the manpfacture of
goods required by the war nations.
There has been little Investment In
the industries of peace.
In 9plte of very large stock and
bond purchases from Europe, the gold
stock of the United StAtes Is larger
than It has ever been. Qold Import*
so far this year have been more than
$500,000,000 and In the federal vaults
and in private handa there Is some
thing like $2,500,000,000 in gold now
in this country.
Two years of war have enabled the
United States to redeem a very large
portion of Its railway debt to Europe
and to hold practically one-fourth of
the gold supply of the world. An
other year of war, as now seems likely,
will but add to those great totals.
The commercial and financial state
ments emphasize the dominant effect
of the war upon American business.
Our great volume of commerce and
of gold have come to us apart from
any domestic Influences. Democracy
has had no more to do with the na
tional prosperity, except for a re
arding influence, than the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Anl*
imals. In the circumstances, the
clalm3 of the administration to re
sponsibility for prosperity must be
subjected to a very heavy discount.

THE UKULELE.
It has become apparent that a new
musical Instrument, the ukulele, has
Invaded the American market with
seme promise of a permanent place
In the public regard. Those who have
not attempted harmony upon It may
h ive speculated upon Its source. Mr. <

federal department of commerce, has
given some Information on that point.
The ukulele was first produced by
a Portuguese at Honolulu, Hawaiian,
Islands. It was a popular vehicle of
music In the islands long before It
invaded the American market. Tho
mainland public took to It readily,
anod now there le demand far beyond
tho productive capacity.
Mr. Taylor toll* us that on Septem
ber 1, 1915, the ukulele factories of
the islands were turning out 600 or
600 Instruments a month. A year
later the production had Increased to
1.600 a month, and the orders from
mainland music dealers were far from
being all filled. Last month a com
pany was organized In Honolulu to
manufacture 2,000 ukuleles a month.
The ukulele la made principally of
the native koa wood. The pecular
tone produced Is said to be obtained
only from well-seasoned koa wood,
properly prepared and fitted. The
island prices, per Instrument, range
from $3.75 to $20. the higher priced
product being heavily beaded.
The new Industry Is practically
centralized In Honolulu, and promises
to be an important business asset.
With the new companies forming, the
output during tho coming year Is esti
mated at 40,000.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Find* All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.
Some women know bow the aches
and pains that often oonw when ;ho
kidneys fail make life a burden. Beak*
uohe, hip pains, headaches, dlssy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are ferquently • Indications of weak
kidneys und should be checked In
time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
Sidneys only. They attack kidney
diseases by striking at the cause, j
Can Alaska sufferers desire strong
er proof than this woman's word?
Mrs. S. O. Turner, 608 V4 Tenth st.,
Sacramento, Cal., says: "I underwent
three operations and this severe
strain, together with colds, affected
my kidneys. I had pain through my
back and could hardly stoop over for
if I tried to, pains caught me. My
back and limbs were so stiff I couldn't
move. My kidneys acted too often.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have always
promptly relieved me of every attack
of kidney suffering.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Dont’ sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Turner had. Foster-Milburn Co,
