Private R. C. Sergeant of the

Dec. 28th received official notifica
tion that he has been promoted to
Corporal in the Signal Corps.
This advancement in rank places

“NO ECONOMIC MISERY"
Reports from New York state that
Xmas purchases this year were in
excess of last year by about 30 per
cent and that therefore there was
no “Economic Misery." While on*
who is a student of economics will
assuredly take issue with this broad
statement and the conclusion reach
ed from such an isolated instance,
we of Nome certalfily can say with
out contradiction that there is no
"Economic Misery in Nome.
Merchants of Nome, report that
their Xmas business was highly
satisfactory, in several instances
exceeded that of last year by a hand
some margin. Being in touch with
one another as we of this commun
ity are. each and every instance of
want is quickly ascertained and
just as quickly relieved, for those
who have are always willing to
g.ve part of their own to him or her
who is in need. As a community
we have our faults—and what com
munity is perfect?—but when any .
case of want or misery arises, when
any oT our fellows are in need of
assistance, all else is set aside and
the true spirit of the Northland as
serts itself. .If any place in the
whole United States can boast of no
"Economic Misery” Nome certainly
Is the place. We wont let it exist
longer than it takes to learn of its
presence.
